In this country we comsume raw cotton at the Tate of about twenty-six péunds per caplta each year, which if translated to yards of cloth and other fabric, would make a strip loager than the distance from the to the moon, and a yard Widé all the way. One of the best ilustrations of the Importance of this fibre can be found in the plight of Germany during the re- cent war.

I wihi cover very briefly a few of the essential outlines of the story of the cot- ton fibre, in order that the foregoing sections of the subject may b& better understood.

The leaves vary, but all have characteristic lobes, whethér grown in the southern part of the states or in the foréign cotton producing countries.

The single fibre consists of a hollow tube having transverse joints at irregular in- | tervals, and this tube, when dry, has a tendency to flatten out and curl. The more of this natural elacticity found in the fibre the better it is for spinming purposes, and an immature fibre is for this reason unsatisfatory. Cotton is ex- ceedingly susceptible fo moisture and 2 suatession of violent atmospheric changes will cause such a rapid con- traction and éxpansion in its fibre as to destroy its elasticity, From the point of view 6f the manufacturer there is little difference between immature cot- ton and that which has suffered loss of vitality, Besides yielding 2 natural fibre from which a_tremendous number of products are derived; the seed of tae plant gives forth a highly useful vege- table oil, and the stems and leaves are used for fodder. There s much history in connectfon with this subject which is of interest to those having to deal with “King Cotton,” but I will omit the same in order mot to take your time at this meeting. It might, however, be of in- terest to learn that cotton is grown in Eerpt, India, China, Mexico, in parts of Central and Soutt America as well as in the eouth and western states of this | country and in almost evéry section of the world whére conditions are right for the growth of this important plant. The cultivation js another part of the industry which has much to do with this subject but must at this time be passed. There are several grades and staples and no doubt a little should be #aid in this direction in order that you get some idea of the terms used in se- Tecting the cotton for certain require- nts. e classification of cotton into the tandard grades fixed by the governme Sonstitutes an exceedingly difficult art. There is absolute’y mo mechanical bas- is, and the classification is a purely rel- afive ome. The kind of plant has mo bearing, whatsoever, nor has the length or strength of staple. T is really a distinction based upon the condition of the cotton, rather than upon its inherent attributes, The grade “middling” is the basis Gpon wWhich the market values of the other grades are auoted. There are éight full gradés, viz. fair, mddling fair, good middling, middling, low middling, ood ordinary, ordinary and léw ordinary. ' Between these full grades are the half grades, known ae the stricts, and ,| some classers use quarter grades, but as these are not so commmonly used we will not concern ourselves now. The grades and half grades are auoted for Whites, tinges, and stalns. A stain is a heavy discoloration while a tinge is a lighter hue, and partial discolorations, knéwn as mMs,“l‘re permissthle in the wer grades of whites. o S obviows that In this classifca- tion the human celement plays a great art, Bonfies, or even half grades or between a tinge and a stain, are subject to a great varlety of Interpretations. Aside from the gradé there are two othér aualifications which are of equal importance to the manufacturer: length and strength. Leéngths are quoted in eights of an inch and cotton under 1 1-8 inchs is termed short, while that over 1 1-§ inches is long. The normal lengths run from 3-4 to 1 7-3 inehes, and where a normal difference between grades wonld be 25 points, the difference of 1-8 inch would be about 250 points. One of the mills prerequisites s strength and elasticity, aRd this last is usually tested by a cotion buyer by compressing a sample in the hand to see if it will return to its original shape, Strength of staple may be found by breaking a sample after drawing sta- le. P the buving of eotton and the methods used on the exchanges for gelling will be omitted at this time as the subject is a long ome.

The census figures for 1805 )show 4500 shindles in this country, and in 1825 thére were 80! And at AUGUST 25, ‘18T the present time thére are mere than 35,000,000 in the United States. Almost all cotton comes to the mill in compressed bales of about 500_pounds gross. The cotton is condensed to about 35 pounds per cubic foot at the compres, wrapped in coarse jute bag- ng, and circuled With fron hoops. ere are other forms of pacing but what concerns us, is that the cotton comes to the mill in a compressed form and must be loosenéd up before any pro- cess work' can be done. Of course. the bale must first be opened by removing the straps and bagging, then the layers of cotton as they are taken from the Dale are fed to an apron of a machine called a bale breaker, This machine does Tothing more than to pick thé compress- &1 cotton apart and deliver it in smafl tufts to the ceaner where by centrifigal force the sand and part of the leaf is thrown out. From here it is taken by vacuum, usually, through a pive line to the picker room of the plant where it Teally starts to be made into yarn. As the cotton enters the picker room it falls onto a belt back of the machine called pickers or lappers and is delivered in- equal amounts to all the machines. The function of these machines is to beat out the coarser Imgurities and deliver the cotton In rolls of batting called laps. In the first or breaker picker the tufts are thoroughly whirléd and pounded over erid bars by rollers or beaters and then compressed into a continuous sheer or lap of a givén ‘weight per yard, Which is wound on a gteel rod and when of the proper weight, is removed and de- livered to the next process cal'ed inter- mediate, which is practicaily the same only this time four laps from the first Orocess are turned into one, and this is again repeated for the finisher process Wrhich is the same as the intermediate But the fibres have been opened and more thoroughly cleaned and is now Teady for the carding process. Before anything more can be done it is now necessary to remove the leaf par- ticles, and to separate the individual fi- bres from their matted position. Both these functions are performed by the machine known as the card, the princi- al of which is that of two surfaces arm- ed with fine wire teeth revolving mnot quite tangent to each other, The laps from the finisher picker is fed over a dlate onto a_ revolving cylinder bearing wire teeth, which combs it over a set of knives, thereby removing coarse dirt, and passes it on to a large cvlinder covered with millions of fire wire teeth, The latter carries the cotfon past a slowly Tevolving endless chain of flats which remove the nevs:and fine dirt, The clean separated fibres are then plckea oft the cylinder by a small revalving cyl- inder called a doffer, which carries them in a film like sheet to be in turn remoy- ed by the doffing comber. This comb working so rapidly that the eve almost fails to see it, lifts the sheet of fibres clear so that it may be paséd thréugh rolls and then to a funnel and condensér into a single untwisted rove a little un- @er one inch in dlameer. This rope Is coiled into a fibre can twelve inches in iameter and three feet deep.. ‘We have now for the first time redue- €d the raw cotton to a continuous strand, fairly free from Imgurities. Up to this point, no matter what kind of varn is to De spun, the operations are practically identical, but from here on the processes vary according to the product desired. A hank of yarn is 840 yards' and tue number of hanks it takes to make a pound is the basis upon which yarn is dassified. Thus a coarse yarn which weighs only twenty hanks fo a pound, (Continned on Page Seven.) CLATMS TWO MILLIONS FOR SHIPS BUILT AT STONINGTON The Ship Construetion and Trading Co., of New York, has put in a claim fo the United States Shipping board for $1,952,230.94 for eéénstrueting two wood- en vessels, minug the machinery; at its plant In Stonington. The claim is filed in the face of the published allegation that shipping boaid officials now have before them official audits in which the auditors are said to make the claim that there is over $300,000 due the board for e€xcess payments under this contract. None of the shipping board members Would comment on the story. Chalrman Lasker of the shipping board Thursday afternoon, following a visit to the White House, refused to comment on the prospective sale of the 205 wooden ships which the board con- tempMites selling to the Shin Construe- tion and Trading Co. for $2,100 each or $430,500 for the flest. It this deal goes through, the board fully realizes, the government will be getting less for the fleet of wooden ships —“white elephants” shipping board of- fictals call them—than it cost to bulld a single one of them. At the New Willard Hotel in Wash- ington Frank F.

It was emphasized that while the board had previously informally decided to accept the bid of the Fulton company no sale had been made and none Would be made until the contract was signed.
