This community was shocked on

say that textiles are yarns; and
fabrics are woven or knitted cloths.
This pleasant sounding word, ray
on, refers to something quite funda-
mental and versatile. It is first of
all a teXtile-that is, a yarn, man
made and beautiful, white and
cleaning in it's uncolored states.
For long time we used to hear
only of rayon underwear and that
many of us think that rayon meant
underwear. To the contrary it
means sister textile in the family
composed of cotton, wool, silk and
linen. Out of these rayon yarns are
made almost any kind of knitted, or
woven fabrics-that is materials.
The silk and wool and cotton
manufacturers-even the linen man
ufacturers-are showing a marked
interest in their newest confrere,
rayon, because, as they say, it has
brought untold new possibilities to
their mills.
The world was little tired of the
old colors obtainable in silk. Rayon

yarns dyed differently and could
thus be woven OF knitted with silks
with resultant shades and cross
dyes of new character and beauty.
Women wouldn't wear heavy
woolens any more, what with sheer
undertakings that allowed plenty of
scope for wool to Scratch, with
steam heated houses, public build
ings and one thing or another! So,
wooden manufacturers called upon
new and versatile rayon to help
make new and unbelievably sheer
wooden fabrics.
Then again women-smart wo-
men-simply would not wear cotton
in the winter months. Cotton meant
summer to them. So the cotton
too, called in the
and as a result have pro-
duced cotton and rayon fabrics that
can be as appropriately worn in
January as in June.

of this novel textile by an older

very femininely astute interpreter
of the mode, says:
ALLOW me to tell you once more
that rayon is not an imitation silk.
1t is just as definitely a new ma
terial as kasha was a new mater
ial. and I do not mean new in
the style sense of the word, but in
the sense of a new invention. Ray
on has certain definite qualities that
are not found in any other material,
and makes no attempt to initiate

We were interested in this be-

of textiles and fabrics in general
and rayon in particular, that have

toned to thinking of linen being
combined with anything. Then, 10
and behold, those marvellous dam
asks which combine solid, age-old,
desirable linen with cleaning,
sparkling young rayon, came upon
the market. Today we have all
sorts of table covers, bridge covers,
pillows and draperies which COM
bine these two textiles. Sheets,
they say, are soon to be made of the
same interesting combine.
Perhaps, after all, the most amaz-
ing usage of this fifth textile of the
world with an older ingredient, is
the combination of rayon with pa

inventors haven't said much about
this yet, but we understand that
they have a tremendous surprise in

giving permission for the erection Of
the bridge.
This potential development hinges
around the fact that the new bridge
will be only six miles from the Ma
tional Lines of Mexico railway, which
runs from Tampico to Brownsville,
and that the San Benito & Rio
Grande Valley railway on the Ameri-
can side extends to within a short
distance OF the north side Of the
bridge.
This would give a direct line from
the National Lines railway through
San Benito and on to the port at
Point Isabel. over the Missouri Pa
cific lines. or the electric tram rail-
way that is to be built from San
Benito to Point Isabel BY the new
Of the Rio Grande railway.
The development would require the
construction of n new railway bridge
across the Rio Grande at that point.

INSTALLATION
OF TALKIE IS
BEING RUSHED
Harlingen Theater to
Be Equipped With
Best of Devices; To
Open Saturday

HARLINGEN, Dec. 5.-The job Of
installing the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
equipment in the Arcadia theater
here is one that calls for p--ctically
complete realignment and substitu-
ton of all the equipment IN the
theater, and the task II nearing COM
pietion with two engineers from the
factory and several local men work
ing on it.
Jack Pickens. manager of the the
alter, said that tho work is being
held up some. but he still hopes to
open Saturday, December :, the date
tentatively announced last week.
The equipment which is being IN
stalled in the theater here includes
both the Vitaphone Moyietone
equipment, and the baby Nitaphone.
The Vitaphone and Movietone
equipment are installed as units oil
the general reproduction machinery
and are synchronized with the reg
ular movie protector. The Vita
phone operates with discs, on a gem
cral principle of the photograph,
but much more highly developed n
complicated. These discs are syn
chronized mechanically with the
film, so that the words and music
will come at the same time as the
stage action.
The Movietone is part OF the film,
the reproduction being secured
through the waves. the sane as IN
radio. The sound part Of the Movie
tone is a small strip along the edge
Of the film.
All this complicated machinery
for the projection room is being IN
stalled and synchronized now. while
the Baby Vitaphone is to be Install
ed separately, and will be used main
ly for songs, and for parts IN pic
lures that are not speaking pictures.
IL can be synchronized by hand, and
operates from discs also.
The equipment requires an extra
room for the batteries TO operate
the talkies. Back of the stage there
is another complicated set of ma
chinery. This includes a tall steel
frame with two huge horns, weigh
ing n total of $50 pounds, on the
frame. These horns have micro
phones in them. and the sound IS
projected TO these, n REPRODUCED
behind the screen.
The screen itself is Of a coarse
weave material. making It porous, so
that the sound is sent through the
screen, and apparently from the
speakers and singers on the screen.
Mr.. Pickens is now signing talk
ing movies for his tneater. and said
he will give Valley people a U Of
the best pictures available as soon
as he is ready TO start with the talk
ing movies.
The equipment Is the best obtain
able, and will reproduce with per-
feet sound effects the standard
talking movies, most Of which are
made BY the companies handling
these talking movie machines and
equipment. Mr.. Pickens said.
