A patent automatic feeding attachmentespecially designed to assist in feeding the goods on to thetenter can be furnished when desired. These automatic feedswill be found of the greatest assistance for not only prevent-ing misclipping (in which event the goods must be either runagain or sold as seconds) but will materially reduce the laborrequired to operate the machines. 1032 Atlanta, Ga., STUART W, CRAMER, Charlotte, N. C. STARCH There are many forms of mangles for starching or sizingin the piece, yarn dyed goods, varying principally in the typeand dimensions of the rolls used to sqneeze the size into thegoods. The mangle most generally in nse for this work con-sists of iron frames or honsings containing one bottom copperelectro deposited roll and one top rubber covered roll, each8 to 12 inches in diameter and with face about 4 inches widerthan the widest goods to be run if but one width of goods isto be run at a time. The diameter varies with the face ofthe rolls but should not be less than 8 inches for the narrow-est face and should be increased where rolls of wide face areused. If the rolls are made too small in diameter, the starchwill be plastered on the outside of the goods instead of being-squeezed into the center where it belongs for the best mangles have necessary bearings for the rolls, means ofputting pressure on the rolls by levers and weight
