Then it came to mean a fibrous material, obtained by deviling or tearing into fibors ref- use woollen goods -- old stockings, rugs, druggets, etc.; and the same term was often applied to the ma- terial obtained from old cotton goods. Later the word shoddy was used to indicate a cloth of inferior quality; 'made of or containing a large proportion of shoddy, and from that it has acquired its common or colloquial use as a tefm signifying inferiority, sham and pretense. Be- cause of this use of the term, many persons have a wrong idea of what shoddy really-is. An expert recently issued a statement on this subject, and his comments arc quite illum- inating. It is when cotton is mixed with wool that one does not gel the required warmth from fabric, he said, and wool shoddy, or, rather, re- worked wool, to avoid the term that has fallen into disrepute, is really an excellent and useful article. More- over, he claimed that the industry of reclaiming and reworking wool ranks high as a conservation measure. The sheep of the world afford only a small quantity of the wool that is neéded annually; thus, if wool were not reworked, there would not be nearly enough for all. Ninety per cent. of the reworked wool produced is said to be made of materials which were either all wool in the beginning or wool from which any cotton con- tent was carefully and absolutely eliminated. The national association of wool fibre manufactures, in a statement relating to the conservation of wool by-products, says: "The material for the manufacture of reworked wool, or wool shoddy, is secured by the reclamation of the wool by-products of the woollen and worsted and the clothing industry. It includes the clippings and woollen rags from every textile-manufactur- ing process. The industry gives value to household woollen rags. It takes the wornout garments, a worsted suit, for instance, thoroughly steri- lizes it, cleans it, and, subjecting it to the cleansing effect of acids, dex stroys the cotton anu recovers the wool in the garments, returning it to thé woollen mills in clean, work- able condition, The reworked wool industry recovers hundreds of mils lions of pounds of material in way, which would likewise wasted." Some interesting statistics, collect- ed by this association, show that about 1,486,000,000 pounds (secur- ed weight) of wool arg yielded an- nually by the worid's shdep. As there is an average loss of me 30 per cent, in the processes &f manufac- ture, about 1,027,600,000\ pounds ef wool cloth are produced Nom this, As the number of people who need wool clothing that is, people who live outside of the tropics, is figured at 1,169,000,000, it Is estimated that, if there were no reworking of wool and this amount were divided up equally, each one wonld be entitled to 14 ounces a year, or a 44-inch square of lightweight material. When one thinks of all-waol serge suits and the gowns and suits of of%- er woollen fabrics worn by women; not to mention the woollen garments to which men are accustomed, one realizes the need for not wasting worn wool, but of extracting all the good that is in the fabric by working it over, not once, but many times, ,as long as serviceable qualities re- main. Poor cloth, they say, is as often made of virgin wool as it is of re- worked wool. It is the judicious ad- | mixture of the two that produces a be claimed, the price of a woollen gar- ment---that is, one made of virgin wool---would be prohibitive to mbat persons. Thus it will be seen that the term shoddy is not always a term of re- proach indicating inferiority, but of making wool shoddy, or reclaim- ing wool in order that it may give the utmost in service, is indeed a valuable one, especially in these con- servation days, Just so long as it is pure wool, with no trace of cotton in it, wool shoddy is desirable and an important feature of the manu- facture of sufficient woollen gar- ments to clothe all who need them. The woman who buys intelligent- ly and thoughtfuly must not judge by a name that does not altogether please her, nor allow the judgment to be warped by mere rumors. It Ibehooves her, in these days of the great crusade against waste--a cru- sade which every thinking man and woman: will admit is a righteous one --t0 study well what she buys, whe- ther it be food, clothes, household . furnishings, or anything else, to wy what she needs and no nore, in o is them?
