Miss O’Brien. “This gives those

manufacturers who are eager toj-

safeguard their reputation an added incentive for putting information “labels on their goods. It also spurs the woman buyer to learn what these labels mean.

“yarn count, sometimes called y: single| strands twisted together to form the

thread count, simply means the number of warp yarns (the length‘wise ones) per inch of fabric and the number of filling yarns (the crosswise ones) per inch of fabric. ‘As usually written the warp count comes first. For example a heavy ‘muslin. sheet 74 by 66 means 74 ‘warp yarns per inch and 66 filling yarns per inch. Sometimes if both

MANUFACTURERS OFTEN fill the aif space of low count fabrics with a mixture of starch and other materials. Such a mixture, called ‘filler,’ ‘sizing,’ or ‘loading,’ often washes out in the first or second Aatidering. | It adds little to the ‘actual value of the material, although it improves the ‘appearance of the new cloth so much that consumers are often fooled about quality,” explained Miss O’Brien. Further evidence of the movement to standardize textile térms and labels for the protection of both consumers. and scrupulous nianufacturers- and distributors are 'the Trade Practice Rules ‘of the Federal Trade Commission -on rayon ‘and concerning shrinkage of cotton. Now, material containing rayon must be so labeled. In former days, just to illustrate the efféctiveness of the rule, a certain material often used in.making ‘women’s slips, was labeled merely ‘satin,’ no matter what yarn it contained, and even though ‘satin’ means “silk to most consumers. Now the label must read ‘Rayon Satin,’ or ‘Rayon and 1 Silk Satin,’ if such be the case. Further the fibers will be named in the order of their per cent by weight in. the fabric, with the high-

:. “On the shrinkage question,” Miss O’Brien said, “use of such terms as ‘Full Shrunk,’ ‘Preshrunk,’ ‘Will not Shrink’ are prohibited unless the cotton fabric so labeled has no residual shrinkage. ‘Residual Shrink- * age’ simply means that the cloth will shrink more when. laundered. oe for the labels that state the} * amoun ‘ shrinkag ey expect.

“ ‘Lisle’ .will be heard more frequently if cotton stockings are generally accepted with a war cut in- the quantity of silk hose. ‘Lisle’ originally ‘was a fine hard linen thread made in France. Now it means a smooth cotton yarn made of high grade long staple cotton, tightly twisted and treated to remove the fuzzy fibers seen .on many other cottons.- Lisle is also ‘mercerized, which means that it is chemically treated, as many cotton yarns and fabrics are, for more gloss, to-be smoother, stronger and to take the dye better. Lisle stock-|D ings, by comparison with other cotton ones, cost more but are more attractive and better wearing.”
