New Paper Fabric Good
For Coldproof Vests
BY E. E. FREE. PHI. d.

PAPER vests, in addition to paper
napkins, cheap enough to throw away
after an accident with the soup, yet
indistinguishable at first glance from
cloth vests and as much warmer than
ordinary apparel as was the old-fash-
toned expedient of wearing a newspaper
wrapped around the chest, are forecast
by a new paper cloth fabric perfected by
the Burgess Laboratories Of Madison,
Wis.
The new material resembles cloth in
having two series of threads running
through it at right angles. like the warp
and the wool. These threads are made
of cellulose material, not unlike the
modern rayon. Matted over and through
these crossed threads Is layer Of felted
paper fibers, much as similar partially
loose fibers are often left in cloth to
make the fabric less permeable to water
or air.
The new paper cloth is not only
strong enough to make vests or other
garments of great warmth and reason
able wearing quality, but 1t is highly
absorptive for water, making it mate
rial for paper towels which feel and act
like linen towels, but which are cheap
enough to throw away after use. Even
much harder to tear than the kinds of
paper previously used for towels, nap
kins and similar articles Small squares
of the new fabric may De used, for ex-
ample, as wash cloths or bath sponges,
which may be dried and used over and
over again. Surgeons are expected to
find the new material useful for strong
and absorptive bandages or for dress
ings to cover wounds.

Right.

In refusing large sums of money from
admirers and motion picture organiza-
ton, Bobbie Jones, national amateur
golf champion, has given another illus
tration of that sterling sportsmanship
which is his.
To Jones the word amateur" means
something. 1t means what 1t means all
the way through. He knows that his
ability to command $4,000 for two
weeks work in "talkie" is based prin-
cipally on his success.
And his success is that of an
amateur sportsman, man who plays
for the love OF the game. This attitude
is essentially that of the American spirit
at its best.
The professional athlete fills one niche
In the hall OF athletic fame. the ANA
teur another, and there is little ques-
ton which one the great mass Of the
people prefer, in their heart Of hearts.
The picturesque Bobby also is right in
refusing the splendid home offered to
him by his admirers. His common sense
enabled him to realize that he would be
happier in home of his own bought
with his own earnings as member of
the legal profession.
Sometimes there is a tendency for
some to believe that the great amateur
sportsmen spend too much time and
thought on their games, but such ex-
ampes as that Of Jones show beyond
any doubt at all that amateur" means
not only something admirable in the
world of sport, but a spirited. indie
pendent attitude toward all the affairs
of life.

Speeding in Emergency.

If a man is on his way to hospital
or bent on some other mission requir-
ing emergent speed and disregard of
the traffic regulations, the natural i'm
pulse Of any policeman who sees him Is
to stop and question him. Sometimes
the delay caused by the policeman's
action is fatal. There are conceivable
circumstances where the loss of few
minutes. might mean the loss Of a life.
And when this Is the case the policeman
is blamed and generally denounced as a
man lacking the ordinary common sense
and judgment requisite in a police Of
flcer.
This denunciation is not always fair.
The officer is justified in stopping a
speeding automobile. The test of his
judgment comes in what he does after
ward. A second or so should serve to
apprise an officer Of the situation. II
there is an emergency, he should wave
the motorist on, preceding him on his
motor cycle and sounding his siren in
warning to clear traffic ahead.
On the other hand, there are re-
sponsibilities resting on the motorist
which cannot be escaped, no matter how
grave the emergency. There have been
cases when the police, pursuing speed
ing car, had every reason to believe that
the speeder was trying to escape. Their
suspicious naturally made ..ern ove--
jealous. In the majority of cases the
motorist should have no great difficulty
In communicating to a pursuing police
man, by signs and gestures or slowing
down his machine, the fact that he
! knows he is followed and needs the
policeman's help. That done. the wise
policeman will act first in helping him
reach his destination and do the neces-
sary questioning afterward.
No rule or law can cover the emer-
gency, requiring speed and disregard OF
regulations, that any driver Is apt e

of mankind In general would give them
the voice of authority? The customs
service, as admirable an organization as
1t may be, was never intended to Sc
lect books for gentle readers. It's per-
sonnet, able as 1t may be In the art OF
finding hidden diamonds or smelling
rum in the steamer trunks of home-
coming Travellers was not brought up,
so to speak, to judge literature. Why
not turn the job of ccnsoring literature
over to a regularly constituted board
composed of, say. the presidents of our
leading universities? There would, OF
course, be no unanimity of opinion con-
corning the wisdom of their choice in
books or whether they should have de-
leted a paragraph on Page "a and left
standing a sentence on Page 26. For
that is characteristic of censorship in
general. There is no such thing as
unanimity of opinion concerning taste.
But II there cannot be, 1t would be
much better to have our college presi-
dents holding the bag than to have our
customs service ridiculed for being
prudishly overzealous.

One keeps on reading some novels
Just because they are stories, and others

their being novels.
master novelist Is its greatest quality
Literary merit, style, plot-these are
as nothing compared with the supreme
quality of genuine interest.
This is the sure key to the difference
between truly great works Of fiction and
those of lesser rank. In a day and
age such as the present, when almost
every one writes, some discrimination
becomes necessary II one would not
spend too much of his time in reading
And no one, not even the booklover,
should give too many of his precious
hours of life to the vicarious living "
be found in works of fiction.
Always the plain, matter-of-fact men
and women have found fault with the
novel reader. sometimes with more than
little truth in their carping. In the
period now generally known as the
gay '90s," the reading of novels. and
especially of French novels, was widely
frowned on.

mother Of many children. was regarded
askance because she spent too much OF

novels"
The terrible French works Of fiction
might have been nothing worse-or
better-than Alexandra Dumas mag

venture, but 1t made little difference in
the eyes of the good people of the town.
Honest, God-fearing folk never paused
to discriminate. A novel was novel.

the work Of human being. but an ex-

The novel which carries the reader
on despite himself. which compels him
to read whether he would or not. is
the only novel worth reading. after all
The difficulty Is In recognizing these
genuine masterpieces from the rank and
file The latter may be most worthy,
so we'll written that it is almost impos-
sible, even for the critic, to tell wherein
they fail.
publisher they do not fail at all, but
bring in triumphant return OF gold to
all concerned. Some Of these second
and third class stories rank high in
popular favor.
No one can determine exactly how
the masterpiece differs from the near
masterpiece, or even from the near
near-masterpiece. but that 1t does differ,
and nightly, there is not the slightest
question.
Words are words, and their mar
shaling in paragraphs and chapters to
make up what the world has come to
look upon as novel is very much alike
in every case. Unusual groupings, such
as two or three chapters only to a
600-page story, cannot change the
aspects of the case.
These skeletons of fiction are me-
