children of Israel from sin to sery-
ing the true God.

If so, you may be $3.50 the richer
for it!
This paper is in receipt of mes
sage from the Household Science
Institute, Chicago, asking for help
in locating the oldest piece of mo-
hair-upholstered furniture in the
United States. The style Of the

not important, providing it is in
good condition. Its owner will be
awarded $3.50, and the piece itself
will be exhibited with other old
time furniture during the Worlds
Fair in Chicago in 1888.
Back of the Institutes offer is
the desire of Grace Vail Gray, it's
director, to ascertain the longevity
of mohair. 1t is claimed that un-
less deliberately injured no in
stance has as yet been found of a
mohair wearing through.

Many Motor Concerns

Washington, April T.
(AP) The competitive threat

parently is not worrying the
Southern Pacific railroad
greatly.
Amid the furry of discus
sion over whether the Inter-
state Commerce commission
should have control of bus
lines and pipe lines, the an
nual report of the Southern
Pacific shows it is acquiring
the competitors and operat-
ing them.
The road has nearly S16,-
600, 600 invested in bus and
pipe lines. 1t acquired the
capital stock of the South
land GREYHOUND Bus lines
and a third interest in the
Associated Pipe Line COM
pany during 1880.
The capital of the South
land Greyhound lines is ST.
355, 1892 and the third inter-
est in the pipe line is valued
at $3,500,000. The Stand
ard Oil Company of Califor-
MIA and the Associated Oil
company each own a third
of the pipe line.
Besides its new acquired

CARS INTERIOR
ATTRACTS WOMEN
Upholstery May Enhance
Comfort, Smartness and
Ultimate Value of Car.

NHEN it comes to selecting the
w family automobile, good
basis of procedure is that adopted
by the sight-weary American tour
ist who said to his partner when
they came to the next important
cathedral: You do the inside and
I'll do the outside" The average
woman is quite content to have her
husband concern himself with the
body of the car, the wheelbase and
general mechanics, provided she
may have something to say about
the inside. The cars clothing, as
its upholstery may well be called,
is equally important with the rest
of the car, for upon it depends
much of the comfort, smartness,
beauty and ultimate value of the
car.
In choosing the upholstery for
the interior, a number of distinct
features should be considered
good appearance, smart design,
pleasing color, wearing quality, rid
ing comfort, cleanliness and econ
omy. The only material that can
be depended on to embrace these
important features in one fabric is
velvet mohair, otherwise known as
yelmo, and made from the lustrous
fleece of the angora goat. Because
Of it's original snowy whiteness,
mohair can be dyed any shade,
however subtle. Its lustrous sheen
and soft, silky texture leave moth
ing to be desired in the way OF
beauty and luxurious appearance,
while the long wearing quality OF
pile mohair, as contrasted with
that of fiat fabrics, is undisputed.
A velmo upholstered car will be
fresh and inviting long after the
rest of the car has lost its good
appearance or even given itself up
to the infrmities of age. Because
of the smooth surface of individual
mohair fibres, discernible only un-
der a microscope, dirt does not

them, and the material is easily
cleaned with a whiSkbrOom or by
vacuum. Actual grease or dirt
spots are removed by washing with
pure soap and warm water.
Easy riding, an important fea-
ture when taking long trips, is as
sured with mOhair velvet because
there is no slipping and sliding
about, as with smooth fabrics, and
each fibre of the pile fabric acts as
a resilient spring TO absorb shocks.
1t is easier on the clothing, too, as
the reduced friction avoids rubbing
and subsequent shininess.
Added to these advantages is the
additional one that they all add
materially to the trade-in value of
the car when the time comes to get
a new one. In fact, it has been
conservatively estimated that any
where from fifty to two hundred
dollars difference can be looked
for in a car whose upholstery is in
perfect condition and inviting to
the eye.
