In this paper the author outlines a technique which conceivably might be applied to the prediction of strength of yarns composed of fibers other than jute. He shows that by means of a comparatively few tests of the breaking strength of jute fibers as much information with regard to the strength of the yarns can be obtained as from the simultaneous consideration of a number of other fiber characteristics. It is felt that publication of this report could give impetus to further creative effort with fibers other than jute. (Editor)
