DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
WOOLENS AND WORSTEDS

'sJust what Is the difference be-
tween woolens and worsteds?" is a
familiar question to store clerks. And
the answers given are various: That
Woolen IS made from short wool and
worsted from long wool; and that wool
Is carded and worsted combed, etc.
The best way, probably, to prove to
yourself what the difference is. will
be to ravel a thread from a piece Of
coarse flannel, which IS woolen mate
rial, and compare it with raveling
from fine serge, which is worsted.
You will notice that the fibers in the
serge raveling lie even, parallel, and
tightly twisted together. That is what
gives the finished fabric that smooth,
hard surface, showing the weave very
plainly, while the flannel raveling
shows the fiber crisscrossed and lying
In all sorts of directions, with loose
ends that gives woolens their fluffy,
downy appearance. You can see at a
glance that the woolen fibers have not
been combed and Strengthened out to
the same extent as the wOrsteds.
Making wooden yarn is the shorter,
easier process. Wooden yarns are used
for such materials as blankets, broad
cloth, flannel, cheviot, kersey and
fancy dress goods where the weave is
entirely obliterated. In making worst
ed yarn, the wool flbers must be
all corubed and Strengthened out
until they lie even and parallel as you
saw them in the serge raveling. Many
processes are required for this, and so
worsted goods made from pure wool
are expensive.
The finish of worsteds and wOolens
is quite different A Worsted fabric,
when finished, has clear, bright we'll
defined pattern, and some close and
finely woven. Generally the weave is
quite distinct. Woolen cloth, on the
other hand, is more elastic, the colors
are more softly blended, and the
threads are not so easily distin-
guished.
In general, a good quality of wool is
used in worsteds., The long. staple
wool is best suited for this pur-
pose, and so is generally the one used.
Shcddies and hard wastes are not used
In worsted yarns, as the long staple
wool cannot have shorter wool combed
into it.
On account of the close twisting of
the yarn, and the distinct weave,
Worsteds are apt to wear shiny in
places. This can usually be remedied
by dampening the place and rubbing it
with piece Of rough cloth, afterwards
pressing on the wrong side.

The Historic Potomac
By T. r. MAXEY
WNU Service

THE historic Potomac river has
L played an important part in the
development OF America ever since the
settlement of jamestown, "a. The
Pawtomax Indians lived along its low
er banks and the name Potomac doubt
less came about in this way.
This picturesque waterway famed
far and wide for its scenic beauty
rises in the Allegheny mountains and
flows 'cross-country in a southeasterly
direction for some 450 miles to the
Chesapeake bay. On the way 1t oblig-
ingly acts as boundary line between
Maryland and West Virginia and also
between Maryland and Virginia.
1t cuts through the Blue Ridge
mountain, drops 90 feet in a series of
falls near Washington, meets tide-wa-
ter at Georgetown, d. G., Is navigable
from Washington to the bay but is
not a heavy traffic carrier, and below
Washington becomes an estuary vary
ing in width from two and one-half to
seven miles and ranging from twenty
FIVE to two-hundred feet In depth.
Its geographic location is so STRAIT
egically important that 1t has been re
peatedly bathed in war and blood
In the early days it was the battle
ground of savage tribes. Then came
encounters between early white set
tiers and the Indians. Many tragic
battles of the Revolutionary war were
fought In this region. Finally, when
the Civil war broke out, 1t became a
skirmish line from practically one end
to the other, between the Union and
the Confederate forces.
The activities of our first President,
George washington, were inseparably
associated with the Potomac, and he
died in a house which overlooked It's
peaceful waters.

Official Minutes
CITY OF FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA
Meeting July /. 1927


Pursuant to law and ordinance, the
Board of Aldermen of the City Of
Flagstaff met at the City Hall, its
regular meeting place today at 7:30
P. M. Those present were Mayor
Koch, Aldermen Waldhaus, Hogan
Tissaw, Babbitt, Nackard, Beeson and
Clerk PuIliam.
The minutes Of the meeting of June
18th were read and approved.
Mr.. George Fleming appeared be-
fore the Board of Aldermen and re
quested that Ornamental Street
Lights be installed at the southwest
and southeast corners of Leroux
Street and Santa Fe Avenue and also
that U turns be prohibited at that
intersection. The Clerk was instruct
ed to write the Railway Company and
request that the street lights men
toned be installed and also that the
railroad crossing at San Francisco
Street be repaired.
The Police Department was in
structed to stop q turns at the four
street intersections bounding Block S,
and properly paint the pavement at
these intersections with the follow
ing wording: NO u TURNS.D

tions, City Engineer Goodman pre-

sal language. The ridiculous Har-
ward accent, the melodious Southern
accent, the broad colloquialisms Of
the Hoosier, and the solid hard accent
of the West all have their place, and
add to the variety and spice of life.
Every American murders his Ian
guage, but what Of it? By repeated
murderings of the language we make
progress, in spite Of the fact that
pedants may argue we have made no
progress in speech since the days of
Shakespeare.
Increased use Of printing, increased
hteracy, and the broadcasting of
speech by radio are helping the
growth Of the language It is to be
hoped that eventually we shall have a
speech of reasonably simple gram
mar instead of the hodgepodge Of in
consistencies which today makes it
impossible for any but a logician to
master the rules in the book.
The Coconino sun., 1927-08-12

American spoke like every other AM
erican and every Englishman, and
then again, perhaps it wouldn't. Lam
guage has been changing daily since
language began. A limited diction-
ary with a constant, unchanging vo-
cabulary is an impossibility further
more, for radio had added some hun
dreds of new words to the language
in the last few years, and aviation
will do the same before it is done.
From the point of literature, it is
most beneficial that there has been
