' new MARKET FOR FLAX.
‘ [American farmers devote some 4,-
000,000 acres to flax raising. solely for
' the seed crop. The flax straw, out of
which linen fibre is made. has always
been burned or thrown away for the
' reason that there was no labOr in the
' United States cheap enough to warrant
its use by the antiquated: methods pur-
suednbroad. .
Now a Massachusetts inventor, Ben-
‘jamln C. Mndge. of the Massachusetts
Institute of~ Technology, has perfected
a process that in the spaceob labours
transforms flax stram lntopure linen
fibre ready for spinning. The Mudge
process in its first stage is mechanical,
the fibre being wrested from, the
woody portion of the straw by means
of machines that accomplish in a few
hours what the old‘world method of
rotting the straw in water takes weeks
to perform. When this part of the
work is done, chemicals are resorted
to for degummlng and bleaching.
The immediate result of this inven-
tion is to make a market for the mil-
lions of tons of flax straw wasted each
year and which, according to a recent
bulletin of the department of agricul-
ture (Farmer’s Bulletin, No. 274). "ln
. quality and length for the production
of fibre fur excels the average straw
from which the Russian peasants
make the fibre which chiefly supplies
the linen fabrics of the world." The
Oxford Linen Mills of Gardiner, Mass,
are already prepsfiing,to enter the
ma hot for flex straw.
I tend of sending $12,000,000 a year
”bl" “rope for linens, this fibre and
”111‘ng will now be manufactured in
the United States at a cost consider-
ably below that Of foreign linens, and
besides making; a new market for the
product of the American farmer will
add enormously to the profits of cot-
ton fabric production 'which is now
valued at over half a billion dollars a
year. At anything like the pr'csent
prices for linen, the mills operating
under the Mudge process can earn
enormous profits.
The Madge method does not sacri-
ilce the‘seed crop. The entire plant
as it comes from the field is put Into
the mechanical apparatus and the seed
separated before the straw is crushed
The Oxford Mills will handle the seed
and straw crop or the straw only, as
may suit the convenience of the
farmer. The value of the seed cror
alone is 819,500,000 annually. Thlnwlll
of course be greatly increasod‘when
. , there is a market for the straw.

not lay any uniluo stress on the nu-

the movements of the slate troops. In
short, we are being rudely awakened.
as a. result of the rcpmt of the spe-
cial committee whose work has re-
cently been completed. to the fact that
our military body is only 11 part of
the army of the United suites. ii We
don't like the truth thus revealed. we
have the choice of the usual number
of alternatives.
In olden days the iliilto militia was
a state body. in it the state could
have all theprlde it liked. The state
could dress it. as it pleased drill It as
it- planned direct its movement as it
, pleased. Also. the state could bear all
the expense.

the major part of the expense?
That is the question which Connec-

of the difficulty which most of the

One doll mother is adding very ma-
terially to her doll family by dressing
up bottles. The faces are of card board
while the clothes are of tissue paper.
and when one wishes to give a doll re-
ception these bottle dolls dispose them-
selves in standing positions all about
the parlor in a 'very realistic way,
while the regular dolls have to be pro-
vided with chairs. If a variety of bot- ’
tlos is selected there will be fat dolls
and thin dolls, short dolls and tall
dolls.
Tile tunic skirts are worn at‘ all
