House Burns Off

At 1920 Saturday afternoon fire was
discovered in the roof Of a two story
rooming house conducted by Mrs. 7. w.
OrmOnd. at 602 Epson avenue.
The fire started from a defective flue
Leading up from the room occupied By
Mrs w II. Cole, and it was just begin
ming to blaze about the flue when Mrs.
OrmOnd telephoned in an alarm. The
chemical company had difficulty in
reaching the scene, as the auto engine
refused TO work when the apparatus
reached the foot OF the hill on Epson
avenue. esnd several minutes time was
lost. Then the Sunset company. near
est the scene, had some trouble with
the hose when il reached the fire.
Finally the firemen got a hole into
the roof, however. and succeeded in
saving the building from any damage
other than that done to the roof. which
was blazing merriiy. Practically all
the furniture, bedding and contents Of
the house. including the wearing ap-
parel of many of the roomers. was
ruined by the water and chemicals.
No damage resulted to surrounding

lions indicate that climaticalIy a large
portion Of the United tSates is admira-
bly, adapted to silk production and the
increased attention being given to this
subject will doubtless materially affect
the amount of domestic silk within the
next 10 years.
The silk used in trade now practi-
cally all comes from the silk worm,
which is Matched from eggs laid by the
silk moth. A silk moth can lay from
300 TO 400 eggs and it takes 10000 eggs
to make an ounce. After the worms ars
Matched they subsist for several weeks
by eating mulberry leaves provided for
them and then begin to spin the cocoon
which is composed Of one continuous
silk fiber varying from 100 10 1000 feet
in length. From four to six Of these
fibers are wound together to produce
the silk thread which is wound into
skeins or hanks and then packed in
bales as the raw silk Of commerce

Of raw silk may be worth anywhere
from S1,500,000 TO s2000000 and it must
be rushed TO New York within five
days No railway company viii carry
silk without insuring it. and the short
er the time Of transportation, the lower
the cost Of Insurance. Consequently the
United States mail makes no better
speed than the special silk trains. There
are no stops excepting TO change en-
gines and there is no schedule excepting
TO secure the greatest speed consistent
with safety.
The worlds silk production reaches
100000 pounds annually and about
two-thirds OF this comes from the ORR
ent. China exports 5000 U00 pounds
annually. Since this country is the ORR
gin Of the silk industry. It seems fit
ting that It should take precedence in
this respect. SILK was discovered in
China $3.50 B. G. by the empress Slang,
wife Of Huangti, who invented a method
Of reeling the silk from the cocoon. She
has been canonized in China and is still
Worshipped as the goddess Of silk.
Requires Cheap Labor.
Silk production in the United States
never has reached any great import
ance, chiefly because Of the scarcity Of
cheap labor. As early as the colonial
period however, silk OF a quality quite
equal TO that imported was raised and
manufactured here. At various times
during the past two centuries there
has been renewed agitation regarding
the production Of silk in America Sew
eral times appropriations have been
made for this purpose by the national
or the state government SILK has been
raised successfully in VirgiEia, South
Carolina, Georgia, California and Utah.
As early as 1928 congress ordered the

ports on Choice of Party Workers.

BE- TeleCrdIh to The IribuneI
Omaha, Dec. 29.-Roosevelt or La follette
hass stolen the Nebraskan Republican or
eanization away from President Taft. The
disclosure comes as 4 result Of the 200 let
tcrs which Colonel John o. Yeiser, head Of
the Nebraska Roosevelt boom. has written
to the Republican precinct committeeman
I'm this state and the answers received from
these committeeman. Colonel 1ciser says:
1t has been taken for granted that Presi-
dent Taft is in control of the organization
ia this state. The answers TO my letters
show otherwise. These precinct committee
men are the workers and the real con-
trolling power in the state. OF the first
twenty-five ANSWERS received twenty-one
stated they were for Roosevelt or La Fol
lcttc, and just one declared for President
Taft
Further answers did not show the same
proportion against Taft, but the numbers
declaring for either Roosevelt or La Fol-
lette were simply overwhelming. the per-
centage being probably seventy-1ve. Al
most all these scventy-iiye per cent Of COM
mitteemen declared for both Roosevelt and
Id Toilette and most Of them said the SEN
tinent Of their immediate precincts Was
against Taft.
This comes from body Of men who we're
supposed 10 be outright Taft men--thc men
Who have been depended upon TO carry the
