Shakespeare Shown as
Master of Observation

How fortunate it is for us and for
all succeeding generations that
Shakespeare wrote down what he
had learned by his observation of
men, women and children.
Ben Jonson knew Shakespeare in
timatey. Apart from his immense
respect for Shakespeare's literary
genius-Jonson placed him higher
than all others, past or present-he
said that Shakespeare had a charm
ing disposition, kindly, friendly, gen.
erous, open and free from malice.
1t is as certain as anything can be
that Shakespeare was at home with
all classes of people; he knew royal
personages and he knew gutter
snipes.
Browning said the business of po-
etry was to chronicle the stages of
all life, and that Shakespeare was
the greatest poet because he report
ed accurately more phases of human
nature than any other writer. His
plays are not only beautiful works
of art, they are guide books to hui
m,.nity; they tell us the latest news
of human nature.
He said himself that the purpose
of his poetry was to hold the mirror
up to nature; and whenever we
open any one of his plays we see
an accurate reflection of the hearts
and minds of men.
There is no art so important as
the art of living. In reading great
literature we are learning life itself.

lean Magazine.

Midsummer Travelling

The dust, heat and humidity Of
railroad travelling in summer will be
removed by a new system which
cleans and tempers the air. 1t is
calculated to cool a car from 10 to
10 degrees below outside tempera-
ture on the hottest and most humid
day. Since it also removes excess
humidity from the air, the effect on
the passengers will be even more re-
freshing and cooling than the Their
mometer indicates, while excessive
chilling will be avoided.

MOHAIR IS GIVEN

Angora Goat Hair Used in
Velmo Must Stand a
Severe quill"

Behind the scenes at Sanford Mills.
Sanford, Me-, the home Of mohair
velvet or velmo as it is generally
known, are strange looking machines
and devices Of various sorts for test
ing the fibers before they are woven
into upholstery for your furniture and
automobile.
One Of these Is a strength tester.
Mohair fibers, the hairs of the An
CORA goat, are stretched between
the two small spools below q big
dial. lever is released and the spools
slowly draw apart while a pencil
writes on the paper chart record of
the amount of pull being applied to
the fbers. When the needle on the
big dial has swung far around. the
fibers will begin to break and the test
Is over.
This ''tug of war" is applied to the
fibers to make sure that no weak
threads enter into the manufacture Of
the upholsteries and other fabrics
destined for years Of hard service on
duLOulOUttC ocdISs IuiAOdu CuSHlOAS
and scores of other uses. Many of
the companies purchasing upholsteries
apply their own tests so before the
materials get to the ultimate user
they have passed through several diff
ferent tests. insuring reliable quality
and freedom from adulteration.
In addition to the pulling test, there
are chemical tests to prove that the
dyes used in velmo will not run when
the goods are subjected to perspira-
ton or other moisture. there are rub
bling tests to prove how long the erect
fibers of velmo will last and there
are other color tests to show that
mohair is little likely to fade.
Samples of dyed mohair are left out
In the sun for months and then COM
pared to the new materials to show
that the colors have not faded When
more rapid results are needed, pow.
erful lights with rays like those OF
the sun apply in few hours the
equivalent to many days Of exposure

colors retain their natural hues after

and some of them are unusually inter-
esting because 1t has taken modern
scientific methods to reveal them and
they are new. For years people have
known that mohair must be a good
material or the railroads would not
use such large quantities of it. Its
mere durability and fast colors are
by no means the only reasons why
1t is popular.

Airplanes and Indoor Golf
Courses Use Fabric Made
from Angora Fleece.

DERHAPS you have sometimes won
i dered why all railway seats are
upholstered in the same material, the
familiar mohair velvet that in our
childhood days was invariably bright
red or green and always Of one or two
standard patterns. Today even train
interiors have become color-conscious
and soft greens and taupes and warm
blues are seen but are still of the
same mohair velvet to the extent, it
has been estimated. of twelve million
yards In the trains Of the country.
The reason for this is that no other
fabric has been found that will stand
all the hard wear and tear that "a
hour service means. Made from the
fleece of the angOra goat, mohair vel
vet or velmo, is one of the most pop
ular and serviceable Of fabric mate

in use on automobiles alone and many
more on motor BUSES and for the in

In addition to this, velmo is also

ture theatres. Like everything else.
mohair velvet has "gone modern" and
can be had in an endless variety Of
colors and patterns and weaves. Over
five hundred shades of green alone are
reported by one New England mill.
But an upholstering fabric is by no
means the only service the mohair
fleece renders. The finest indoor golf
courses are made Of rich, deep pile
mohair velvet. Lap robes and steam
er rugs, lifelike stuffed animals. trim
mings for house slippers and even
wigs and transformations are made
from this snowy fleece which more
closely resembles human hair than any
other known fibre.
Each fibre is much stronger than
wool and due to its unique physical
structure takes a fadeless dye. Be-
cause Of its sleek surface, it does not
readily retain dust and dirt and In
fact, the pile surface acts as brush
and makes the travellers clothing &C.
tually cleaner at the end Of the trip
than 1t was before!
So great has the demand been for
this fleece that within a comparatively
few years, the industry of angora goat
raising has been transferred from Tur-
key and South Africa to the United
States, which now leads the world both
in the production and manufacture Of
mohair fleece.

daily occurrences which show that

A recent occurrence in Washington
was that OF a mother who called for

mother replied that her baby was

doctors, but unable to reach one,

was breathing normally. The mother
called the supervisor later and thanked
her for her assistance and commended
her for her knowledge of first aid.
Another instance related by tele-

With the Fishermen

Representative of both of the fish buying companies on Wrangell docks received cables this week from Seattle headquarters to stop buying river echoes at once as there was no demand for them.
 The Vesta, the halibut boat char tered by Wrangell fishermen to carry fish to Prince Rupert, sold the cargo of 16.550 pounds which she took from here last Friday. but re- ported that there was no market there for any more echoes.
 As a result the gillnetters have all put up their nets. Some of the boats stayed out a few days to get fish to salt and smoke and then hauled up their gear.
 Captain A. R. Breuger sold his load of mixed salmon at Petersburg. He came to Wrangen to outfit for the fishing grounds as there is still a demand for king salmon at 12- 6-3c.
