MRS. AMiDoNs STATES THAT Mr..

PORT OF THE CONDITION OF
THE FUND. s.

. Fargo Forum: "Mr. Crunelle, who
has more orders than he can fill, said
during a personal interview in Chica-
60 last month, that the finishing touch
would be put upon the statue he hoped
by spring, said Miss Beanlah M. Am
idon. "The foundry man is only wait
ing for the model to be finished when
he will at once cast 1t and the statue
will be complete. s. IT,
"Mr. Crunelle has also promised to
furnish by March, 20. in time for the
board and district meetings in Fargo
a letter containing instructions as to
the foundation and measurements for
the pedestal. .,
1.-THE rommi- tee thinks that the
foundation and pedestal should be pre-
pared next spring and the work OF
the landscape gardner continue. There
is an ample appropriation for this
work and it should not be idle. We
hope that the schools that have not
yet contributed this year will do so
soon. Let us make at least one other
500 payment before we all disband
for the summer. Only $67 is neces-
sary and we can surely do more Than
that before June 1.
Contributions from private individ-
uals are quite as good as club dona-
lions. In fact more than half the fund
has been so given. We hope the school
children will help US further. They
have done splendidly so far and will
stay with US to the end.

STRENGTH OF SILK.

How the Yarn IL Weakened by the

Silk science Is changing. II the silk
dresses OF fifty years ago are compared
with many Of the silk articles manu-
featured at the present day Il requires
no elaborate tests 10 show the superio-
rify IN strength OF the older materials.
This usually Is due TO the fact that
silk yarns now are frequently treated
with metallic salts. such as tin chic

prevalent did this practice become some
years ago that even the manufacturers

Apart from the fact that one is buy

From Herr strehienert's experiments
II was found that taking the strength
OF genuine silk as 20 10 80 the strength
OF q sample OF loaded French silk con-
tanning 40 per cent OF added material
was only 20. Not only does the weight
ing process reduce the tenacity OF the
fiber and often destroy the dye stun
but also is a frequent cause OF the ap-
pearance OF mysterious spots.
Often bright red spots appear on
fabric after exposure 10 the sunlight.
II has been found that even a diluted
solution OF common salt acts upon load
ed silk In the presence OF air and mois-
ture and produces stains and complete
dislntegration OF fiber within twelve
months The action OF stronger soln-
lions OF salt is still more rapid. and
the tendency" OF the fiber is marked
after treatment for seven days with

The presence OF salt IN stained and
weakened silk may be accounted for
readily by the fact that salt is a con-
stituent OF human perspiration and
thus may have been introduced during
the handling OF the yarns by the work

Special precautions are now taken 20
