Each nozzle has many small holes, de- livering 25, 30 or SO fine filaments to make a single thread of artificial silk. Thread from a 25-filament nozzle is usually 150 denier in size; from 30 filaments the size of thread is 200 denier; from 50 filaments the thread is 460 denier, but these figures vary according to size of the holes in the nozzles. There are several other rayons besides the above viscose silk. Nitro-cellulose rayon is made from cotton or wood pulp treated in a mixture of nitric and sulfuric acids and dissolved in an appropriate solvent.

The little band that went with him then grew to millions. His return ten years later will do much to allay that feeling of suspicion that has grown up in France since the war. The election of General Pershing is a duty that ex-service men owe to those who sleep at Romagne, Serenges-et-Nesles, Thiaucourt, Belleau Wood, Bony, Suresnes, and Wae- reghen.

The season is approaching when the fire department will be called out to fight many fires caused by defective or soot- filled chimneys or flues. In the city of Berlin last year out of the fifty-one fires which resulted in damage, twenty-one were caused by overheated chimneys. If every owner will inspect his property and remedy these dangerous conditions before the cold weather sets in, many outbreaks of fire will be averted. What are conditions in our own city? It can be safely said that the Berlin Fire Department is on a par with, if not above, any fire department in New England in cities of this size. The sound of the gong and the clattering of horses' hoofs over the pavement as they sped to the fire have gradually changed to the scream of the siren and the whir of the motors. In keeping with the trend of the times, the department has been completely motorized with modern equipment, evidence of the forethought and efficient management of the city fathers. The first motor truck was purchased in 1920, the second in February, 1925, the third in February, CENTRAL STATION, BERLIN FIRE DEPARTMENT 1926, and the fourth in March, 1926.
