When n housewife asks whether the goods she is buying are cotton or wool- en, she Little thinks that originally they were one and the some. for it was to a woolen labile made in Bristol, England, that the name "Bristol cot. ton," was first applied. Bristol used to be the setrport of the then seat of the woolen trade, the West of England. and "Bristol cotton," a striped cloth, with a long nap which could be reshorn where the garment got shabby, was woven at Bridgewater and Taunmn. The word "blanket" has a pecuiiar origin. In early. times family names often arose from the bearer's occupa- tion, and tor generations a. family named Blanket had been in the woolen trade and had manufactured white cloth. It is probable that this trade gave them their name trom "mane," (white). but it was this family which invented the comfortable bed-cover- ing and their new products were re- ferred to as blankets.

" ONE WAY OF TELLING A GUY WHAT'S WHAT-BY Bud Fisher. Very soon now the tourist traffic for the 1926 "?etMron will commence. We should make things as interesting and attractive as possible for our visi- tors and also for the many travelling Canadians who are going to explore our highways and byways. How often when motoring into a) cozily situated town or hamlet, we look) around the various buildings for some indication of the name of the place. it is probably a very interesting spot to the passerby and he might like to remember it particularly. No signs are in evidence anywhere except those advertising motor car tires and patent medicines, and the interest aroused is apt to die foe want of stimulation. There are many ways in which we might welcome our tourist friends and make them aware of our hospitality. Place-signs, prominently posted at the approaches of the villages, with a few concrete facts about the nature of the locality and its commercial and indus- trial possibilities will add greatly to tho interest and employment of the tourist and perhaps very materially to our country's development eventu- ally. The wayside market is useful to the tourist, here he can purchase, direct from the farmer, dairy produce, fresh fruits and vegetables on the cash and carry system. What is better than a cool glass of buttermilk, too, on a hot, thirsty drive?

Camping spots, where tents could be pitched for a night's sojourn might be provided, rustic tables and chairs with legs sunk in the ground, an open-air f1re-plaee and a lean-to for a garage, make ample accommodation. The Edmonton Auto and Good Roads As- sociation is making arrangements to place direction signs along the Ed- rcontotrCold Lake route in readiness for the season’s tourist traffie. This road passes through a famous trout- fishing d'.rtriet which is visited yearly by a large number of visitors from Chicwio and the Eastern States. All towns along this route are being asked to assist In signing the main highway and the iocal organization is to do its share in view of the large amount of tourist triffle expected along the road during the 1925 season. There are many scenic spots, splendid lalic; and fishing stream just oft our beaten trails that could be admired by many a visitor if directed thither by a well placed sign.

During recent years this period has developed a popular slogan "eiean up and paint up." This is especially ap- plicable to the protection and painting of outside woodwork. Wood, when ex- posed to the weather without protec- tion, quickly deteriorates. it bears a shabby and neglected appearance, and, in a great majority of cases, is but an index of the enterprise or carelessness of the owner. A statement was made a short time ago by a prominent lumberinan that unless Canada exercised more care with her forest resources. the dny was not for distant when we would be without our supplies of lumber. While this statement referred particularly to tho protection of forests, it might, with equal force. be applied to the protection of our buildings, fences, farm implements, and other equip- ment into the making of which wood largely enters. In the case of the forests there is the timber only that is lost, while in the decay through neglect or ctmr.ktuiness of woodwork thgre is also the loss of the human energy that was required in the trans- Natural Resources Bulletin.
