sense of we'll being.
But no one has ever been able
to make up anyone else's mind as
to lust where the controversial
condition of middle age comes into
being.
| Now. a nationwide poll on the
question cat what age does middle
age begin?" land it includes a
proper proportion of females),
comes up with the answer.
Peoples views on the question
range all the way from IS up to GO.
Most frequently mentioned is 40.
A little more than half say middle
age begins either at 40 or a young
err age.
1t all adds up to 40 as the
median average for the nation.
The range of replies:
Middle Age Begins
Under 40 years --..-------23%
At 40 years -----0
Between Al to 40 years IA
At 50 years --..----F
Over 50 years --....----.. 4
Moreover, the median average
figure is the same for all age
groups, thus blasting the fond
notion Of some cynics that a per-
son around q years Of age is ut
terly incapable of judging who is
middle aged and who is old.
Nobody at all will be surprised
that for women middle age doesn't
begin until A.
Professional people and business
men also think they're young men
until the age of As. All other groups
are pretty much agreed on the 40
year mark, or something very close
to it.

ton groups and the mediar aver

ton.

ANIMAL FIBERS.
By LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

Plants are the living source of
many of our most important f1bers
but they are not the only source.
We could not get along without
those produced by animals. With
the exception of silk, fbers are from
mammals.
1t requires the life work of 5000
silkworms to produce one pound OF
raw silk. Until the war with Japan
most of our raw silk was imported
from that country Encouraging news
comes from South America, where
the silkworm industry is we'll under
way. A small amount is obtained
from China and India, made by wild
silkworms feasting on species OF
oak. This silk is darker than that
of the mulberry eaters.
The leading producer of excellent
fiber among animals is the goat
Angora goats have very long, fine
hair. In the United States where
great herds of the animals are
raised, they are sheared several
times a year. The fiber is known as
mohair. Cashmere is another fiber
