F YOU are the sort of woman who
when you shop, then you’ll welcome
the new lags which manufacturers
of fine mohair velvet are attaching
to upholstered furniture of the bet
ter grade These tags will enable
you to tell whether the upholstery
material on your chair or sofa is
100% mohair, or 50% mohair A
gold and black shield-shaped tag
identifies the 100% mohair fabrics,
and a silver tag denotes those made
of 50% mohair.
For years, women have bought
food by the label and cosmetics by
tile package. More recently, they
have been taught to look for labels
in dresses, which tell whether the
fabric is pure silk, or washable, or
pre-slirutik, etc.
Now. the same principle is being
adopted in the honiefurnishings
field so that the woman purchaser
can identify quality mohair velvet
on upholstered furniture. The tag
is further backed by the Bureau
of Standards at Washington, who
set up the standards based oil num-
ber of tufts to the inch. — the
greater number of tufts producing
a thicker, more durable fabric.
Standards also assure colorfastness
and treatment to prevent attack by
moths.
So—look for the gold and silver
shield-shaped tags when you want
to be «ure of getting quality mohair
velvet on your upholstered
furniture.

^ the first commercial electric
light and power plant in New York
City in 1882 the electrical industry
has moved forward with enormous
strides. Yet the industry is still in
its infancy and the limits of its
progress are not likely to be reached
during the lifetime of anyone living
today.
With work being pushed on huge
power projects that dwarf their
predecessors, and with others equal-
ly huge being planned, one of the
most promising fields for the young
man eager to carve out a career lies
in the transmission of electric power
from its source to where it is to be
used. Many of the great projects,
planned or under construction, are
in sparsely settled areas. Their
maximum usefulness depends on
the continued development of meth-
ods of transmitting their power to
cities and towns perhaps hundreds
of miles away.
The half mile transmission lines
of the 1880’s have grown to a
length of 250 to 300 miles. Can they
be increased to still greater
lengths ? Can the load they carry be
increased? Can they carry their
load more economically and with
less loss on the way? These are
some of the questions the transmis-
sion engineer must answer, and
those who prove able to answer
them are certain of outstanding suc-
cess in their careers.
To qualify as a transmission en-
gineer requires technical training.
Many men have obtained their
training at a university, but others
have proved that what enn be
learned in laboratory and classroom
can also be learned by combining
practical experience with spare time
study. Any number of successful
transmission engineers can look „........„_____________
