Some felts ere woven, but true felt is made by compression only. Wool possesses the highest felting properties, and the fur or hair of the oz, goat, hare, rabbit, or beaver are readily felted. The principal hat felts are made of rabbit (known in the trade as "coney*'), beaver, etc., says London Answers Magazine. Cow-hair i* mainly used in making felted materials for covering roofs. The origin of this process of manufacture is not clear, as felting is probably older than weaving. Its discovery is sometimes ascribed to Oriental shepherds. r Beiy Eeqnires CalerUt The body requires 3,000 calories a day for nourishment. Indisns Used Whites as Decoys • j White persons held captive by thi^ Indians we^e oftentimes compelled" to act if~*decoys along the Ohidp river to draw white boat traveler^, to the shore. Standing on the banll the decoys would call out for the travelers to come ashore and take--- them aboard. When the traveler®' landed, the Indians, lying in am* bush, would begin their murderous ; work. As a result of this, some • white persons along the shore wh<| were really alone and in need of ast» sistance were passed by the travel-* _ ers. With women and children ' aboard, the men would take n# chances by coming ashore. , v 4 T Lecal Weedehnck Nan# Whistle-pig is the local name fof the woodchuck akmg the North Caxw olina vid Tennessee borders of Great Stooky lfowftnr Na park. 1937--Pontiac DeLuxe Four-Door Xnmk Sedan '. : >?jBeautiful grey finish, DeLuxe rddio and theater, Run 12,000 milea .• •" V ' '.wi"• 1937--Plymouth DeLuxe Four-Door Trk.
