FIRST AMERICAN SILK
WAS MADE IN OHIO
The Buckeye Burr In Light Buff the
First Pattern Woven.

First Pattern Woven.
Ohio was the first state in the I'M
ion to engage in the manufacture of
silk, according to DR.. William c.
Mills, curator of the archaeological
University. DR.. Mills is endeavoring
to get some specimens of the first
pieces manufactured to exhibit in the
'useum.
The first silk factory was created
d Pleasant in 1S41, by John w.
Gil ydnd Thomas White" said DR..
Mills. These men planted twenty
five acres in mulberry trees and be-
gan the raising of silk worms the
following year. Dress silks, ribbons,
silk velvets and figured silks were
manufactured. The buckeye burr in
light buff was the first pattern WOW
en-. A vest pattern from the piece
was presented to Henry Clay, who
also wore a suit of broadcloth made
in a Steubenville factory. Since 1877
not a yard of cloth of any kind has
been made in Steubenville, although
at one time there were twelve wool
en-, cotton and silk mills located
there. ''-Coumbus State Journal.

THE TREASURY FACES
A GREAT Big DEFICIT
FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE
80 EXACT FIGURES UNKNOWN,
BUT rs MORE THAN
SEVENTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS

Income Tax and Emergency Tax Re-
turns Have Proved Disappointing.
POstoffice Department Has Run
Upwards of $40, OOO, 600 Behind.
WASHINGTON. The business of
the United States government for the
fiscal year ended tonight with treas
ury officials still unable to determine
how much of a deficit the accounts OF
receipts and expenditures for the last
twelve months would show. Internal
revenue officers through the country
photographed tonight that figures on
the last days returns would not be
available until tomorrow.
Deficit Above S75,OOO,OOO-
The deficit today, exclusive of dis
bursements on account Of the Pam
anna canal, was we'll over $75,OOO,-
600, but officials were confident that
figure would be materially reduced.
The income tax up until today had
produced only about $4,000, 600, but
estimates of the total return from
this source have agreed on something
over $80,O0O,OOO. Congress amend
ed the law so that persons or corpor-
atoms who do not pay until July 10
are not subject to penalty, and there
is no way of telling how many are
waiting until the last moment to pay.
Estimates of the treasury deficit to-
day varied between $40.OO0,000 and
$50, 100000. Receipts in the last
few days, however, have made it APP
parent there will be no present need
for a bond issue.
POstoffice Department Behind.
One fact that officials do not over
look in considering the present con-
dition of the treasury is that the
postofice department has run behind
somewhere betweeen 100000
and SIS, 100000. Reasons given for
this development include the closing
of stock exchanges for long period n
and falling off in foreign business.
Customs receipts apparently have
not been far under what was expect-
ed by officials.
Secretary McAdoo estimated that
customs would bring in about $780,
100000, and it seemed probable to-
night that the total would not be be-
low $4,000, 600.
From information available the
emergency tax law has not been as
good a revenue producer as was ex-
pected. Receipts from whiskey taxes
in particular have shown falling off.

SENATE WALLS
ARE SHATTERED
CapitoI at Washington Has Windows
Broken and Ceiling and walls
Form Down by Explosion.


WASHINGTON, D. Can eXpIo-
sion shortly before midnight tonight
did considerable damage in the SEN
ate wing of the capitol. The eXplo-
sion was in the reception room on the
second floor next to the sergeant-at-
arms office. The doors of the room
were blown out, but no one was hurt.
Authorities Immediately began an
Investigation.
The doors of the capitol were clos
ed Immediately after the explosion
and no one was permitted to enter
while the investigation was in prog
ress. While the origin of the explo-
sion had not been explained some re-
norris in circulation said it might
have been caused by bomb.
Windows Blown Out.
Reports said the windows in the
raception room had been blown out,
that an immense plate glass mirroW
.bad been demolished and that part

The other day Senator Fakes in

Now Senator Manghum has got in
his bill, which is calculated to com
pletely hamstring the spawned old
outcast away out in the desert of the

from the gaze of the Georgia public.
Mr.. Manghum's bill would prohibit
not only newspaper and periodical
advertisements of any kind of liquors,
but will fix it so you just can't adver-
tise liquor anyhow-not on billboard,
signs, newspapers, magazines or in
any other way. In fact the only man

smell of somebody's breath-and
maybe that will be reached before

Millions of BIuebirds.

The statistics regarding bluebirds
are particularly gratifying, say de-
partmental authorities. Only a few
years ago nearly the total bluebird
population of eastern United States
was destroyed by severe winter, but
there are now, it is said, several mil
lion bluebirds in that locality.
On each acre of farm land covered
by the census there was an average
of one pair of birds. The record for
density came from Chevy Chase, Md,
a suburb of the national capital,
where 161 pairs were found nesting
on % acres. Thirty-four species of
birds were represented

Birds. Interesting Figures.
WASHINGTON.-The department
of agriculture is at present superin-
tending another bird census. The
first comprehensive census of that
kind was taken last year, and with
good results. This year the work is
being extended and a larger number
of people are being drawn into it.
Ultimately it is expected that the en-
tire country can be included in this
annual count of the bird population,
and when this has come about it will
be possible for the government to be-
gin the collection of statistics that
will possess permanent value.
The census of 1914 was most near
ly complete in the northeastern
states. South of the potomac river
and west of the Alleghanies it was not
all that could have been desired. Vol
untary observers in these southern
and western sections were not nu-
merous, and general interest in the
subject was not great. This year,
however, the lines of thorough CEN
sus work have been pushed well over
the Alleghanies and into the south
ern states of the Atlantic seabOard,
while there are occasional observers
as far west as California and Wash
ington and southwest as Texas.
1t is the belief of departmental Of
ficials that within a decade-perhaps
sooner than that-the annual bird
census will cover the entire country
fully. When that is done the de-
partment's experts will be in position
to know what additional protection is
needed, and for what particular kinds
of birds.
The Ubiquitous sparrow.
The census of 1915 began in the
southern states late in May, and in
the central and northern states it
runs pretty well through the month
of June. 1t is made during the nest
ing season, when the parent birds
stay for weeks in the same locality.
The census of 1914 disclosed the
interesting fact that there are 60
pairs of English sparrows to the
square mile, on the average, through
out the United States, or seven to
every 100 native birds; and that,
seemingly, the bird found most
abundantly in the country is the rob-
in, with the English sparrow a close
second. In the northeastern states,
where the count was most thorough,
there were on the average six pairs
of robins to each farm of So acres.
Of English sparrows there were five
pairs to each farm.
No other bird is anywhere nearly
so numerous as either of these, but
some are numerous enough to make
their total run we'll into the millions.
Taking 100 robins as a unit other de-
sirable birds were noted in the fol-
lowing nronOrfjOnS:
