A Treat to the Printers.

The Chronicle office force returns
thanks to Mr.. j. B. Lyman, manager
of Reds Bakery. for liberal treat to
the good things this bakery turns out
fresh every day. A big mysterious box
was handed US, which was investigated
with care lest it contain dynamite, but
nothing more dangerous than two big
squares of layer cake. two jelly rolls, a
dozen fat lemon tea cakes and several
cruller rings, all topped off with cou-
pie of big coffee cakes, was revealed.
Our friends will bear in mind Reds

several varities at any time they want
them.

UNDERWEAR
NOW FASHIONABLE
Public Now Buying Domestic
Output and Industry Boom
ing, Experts Say.

Foreign underwear is no longer fash
ionable in the United States. Purchas-
ers no longer go into the fashionable
stores and demand something import
ed" according to experts OF the Depart
nent of Commerce, who have just COM
pleted a study of the underwear in-
dustry of the United States.
The knit underwear industry the eX-
recent years, and despite adverse criti-
cism. is in soundly prosperous con-
dtion. The fact that imported goods
arc no longer demanded is an encoursg-
ing sign OF the times. according to the
social report on the subject. The total
output of American cotton-made knit
underwear in 1909 was valued at $S4, ,4f,-
900, whereas the imports of cotton knit
underwear for the year previous to the
war were valued at only $342 900. Cot
ton underwear forms the bulk of the
imports of this class of wearing ap-
parel.
The report on the subject just issued
is a study of the underwear industry
tion division OF the Bureau Of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce. which alb
sorbed the duties of the tariff board.
The use of antiquated machinery
and the failure to keep machinery in
proper condition are given as causes
Of low profits in some mills. There
have been many Improvements in ma :
chinery in recent years, and mills
that have continued to use the old =
type machines are finding themselves
at q decided disadvantage, without
being aware, in some ca seS, of the real
cause of the trouble.

BARON WILLIAM WALDORF ASTOR
Shade of Anne Boeyn, Displeased by Recently Gre
ated Peers Displacement of New, Is Local
Explanation.
BARON WILLIAM WALDORF AsTOR.

To this end he has laid out superb
Italian garden and model farm. an
artificial lake of torty-itye acres and
grounds beautifully turfed and land:
scaped. He built n new public rpad
three-lua rters of mile long, abandon
ing the line Of the old one. An artesian
we'll was dug, reservoir estaplished.
and an electric light powerhouse built.
The candle period WAS banished for
ever.
The extent OF his expenditure may
be inferred from the fact that one
piggery cost 81 500. and there are sew
with Italian mosalcs. with richly
carved mountain in the center.
Guest houses were built, so cunningly
connected with the main structure as
to seem an original part OF it. The
countryside rang with gossip OF the
trating while the reconstruction was in
progress. After the scaffolding had
been torn down. however. IL was gen.
orally admitted all due respect had been
shown the traditions of the place.
King Henry's COurtship.
OF all these. and they are region. the
most interesting is King Henry's court
ship OF sweet Anne Boleyn, whose ghost
has been laid. She was the daughter
of Sir Thomas Boleyn. the lord OF the
castle in that day. In the garden walks
and long corridors of Hever the King
made love.
TO recount the tale from its inception
to the headmans AK which finally
ended the girls romance is unnecessary.
Nor WAS she the only occupant OF the
castle whose name has been handed
down as household tradition. Another
was the fat and humorous Sir John Fall
staff.
One of the Scropes who lived there
is said to have sold his birthright for
$40 marks with which TO so to the
French wars.
Sir Godfrey Boleyn, q one-time lord
mayor of London. and grandfather OF
the unfortunate Anne, purchased it
from the lords OF Gotham. And finally
it reached Lord Hever. American-born
and eXpatriate by choice, to whose son
it will naturally descend in good time.
The Washington times., 1916-01-10

LONDON, Jan. lot is believed the
ghost Of Anne Boleyn has vanished
forever from Hever Castle, the seat
of the new baron-William Waldorf
Astor. Another Christmas week, the
season during which the Inflated mis-
tress OF Henry VIII had always chos-
en- to appear, has passed without her.
The local explanation of her de-
parture is she is displeased with Mr..
Astor's replacement Of the old with
the new at Hever Castle. She was
| accustomed to cross the old bridge
over the river at midnight once or
oftener during the holiday season.
Dilapidation of the ancient struc-
ture caused Mr.. Astor. when he be
came owner Of the historic old pile,
adhered closely to the style of the
original. but the sensitive nature of
Anne Boleyn's ghost apparently could
not endure the substitution She has
not been seen since.
Historic Memories.
Hevey Castle is in Kent and. like
all the country around filled with
historice memories. 1t is moated
| lowered, machiolated and battlementcd
| in the best style Of its period. 1t is
not large as castles go; writer de.
scribes il az the daintiest OF castles
q castle in miniature, castlette OF
| the feminine gender"
Even so it is rambling and spacious
and rugged. 1t is supposed the major
part was built in the fifteenth century
1t takes its name from William dc
Iiever, VINO lived on this site during
the reign of King John. The narnt
iever means deer park, and the new
baron has made 1t true by estaplishns,
among other improvements. a park oi
his own we'll stocked with red deer.
When he took possession the place
was badly out Of repair. In restoring
it to habitable condition he attempted
with success, to retain the feeling OF
its period. and wherever possible to
duplicate the original. At the same
time he was bent on making Hevrt
Castle possible as a place of abode toI
himself and his guests.

SOCIALISM ATTACKED
At K. OF {. LECTURE
Peter W. Collins Says Party
Wants Workers. But They
Didn't Start Scheme.

The plea that socialism Is force
for the benefit Of the laboring classes,

harmony and understanding between
capital and labor.
The lecture attracted crowd that
filled the theater and Mr.. Collins an
swered many questions during and
after his discourse.
The speaker declared 90 per cent of
the socialists do not know what
socialism Is. 1t is not government
ownership. he said, although many
misconstrue it sto mean that; II is a
community ownership that socialism
stands for. but there are many Things
entering into the socialist platform
that have no bearing on socialism:
out. Is included in the platform,
when everyone ought to know that
socialism does not sanction wages at
all This, the speaker declared. is for
the purpose of deceiving the working
man.
Continuing Mr.. Collins said that
socialism wants to get the 1aboring
class. but it did not come from them.
The reason socialism wants the
laboring class" he continued. rs be
cause society IL made up largely OF
wants to get the working classes and
use them az a crowbar to throw So
ciety on it's foundation"
