NEW FABRIC
Chicken Feathers As Base (11 p.m.) NEW YORK, Aug. 24. The “Herald-Tribune” announces the development of a new fabric, made principally from chicken feathers. It is reported to be warmer, softer and lighter than wool fabric. It looks like wool and is designed for use mainly in suits, dresses and sweaters. It can be dyed any colour, possesses more sheen than wool, is completely odourless and can be laundered with no more shrinkage than cotton fabrics. In cost it is cheaper than wool, but more expensive than cotton.
