SILK INDUSTRY HOLDING UP.
Shows Greater Stabi'ity In France
Than Other Textiles Since the War.

PARIS. Feb. 5.-The silk industry,
the most sensitive in France, subject
as it is to most of the caprices of fash
ion, has shown greater stability than
other textiles during the war. The
total production in 1914 amounted to
$2S,000, 900 less than that of 1913. but
only $15,00O,000 less than in 1871,
when the total production was sSO,-
100000 after having gone to $780,
100000 in 1910.
The silk exports were $4,000. 600
less than in 1918, but one and a half
million dollars more than in 1912.
Exports of silks to America have
for several years followed quite regu-
lar rate of progression that has not
been disturbed by the war. In 1914
they amounted to s13,250,OOO as
against $9,750,000 in 1913.
England. however, took S1S,OOO.O 900
less, the exports dropping from $42,-
100000 in 1918 to s34,000,000 in 1914.
Italy took a quarter million dollars
more and Spain half million dollars
more in silks than in 1913.
Exports of French velvets more
than held their own.

Declare There Is Universal
Ignorance ON the
Subject.
EXCEPTIONS SCARCE
Ask for Creation of New
Ministry and Change in
the School.

Correspondence OF The Associated Press)
LONDON. Feb. G.-'Not only are
our highest ministers Of state ignorant
of science, but the same defect runs
through almost all the public depart
monts of the civil service. 1t is
nearly universal in the house of com
mons and is shared by the general
public, including large proportion
of those engaged in industrial and
commercial enterprise.
This statement appears in mani
festo issued by the leading British
scientists with Il view to waking up
the country, which is now governed
SO largely by lawyers. The signers
include names of international scen-
tific reputation such as Sir william
Crookes and Sir William Ramsey.
They demand that the educational
system be entirely revised. The uni
versities as well as great public
schools of the country of the type of
Eton, Harrow and Rugby, it may be
said, are under control of classically
educated clergymen, who still hold
largely to the obsolete view that sci
ence and the habit of investigation
undermines religious faith.
Two Exceptions.
Only two exceptions are made in
ficial ignorance of science-the navy
and the medical department of the
army. The present government is
severely criticized. AS an instance OF
ignorance of physical science among
the rulers, the public statement Of Il
member of the government is quoted.
This statement asked that he and his
colleagues be excused for not having
prevented the expectation of lard to
q
been discovered that glycerin, used
in the manufacture of explosives,
could be obtained from lard. This
statement went unchallenged at the
time it was made. Speaking of the
assertion that the making Of g,ycerin
from lard is recent discovery, the
manifesto says:
The fact is. on the contrary. that
the chemistry of soap-making and
the accompanying production of
glycerin is very ancient history. In
order that such blunders may be
avoided, it is essential that we should
have proportion of men in the gov
ernmcnt who. If not actual experts.

that viii give them an intelligent re-
spect for 1t and an understanding of
what it can do, how to make use of il
and to whom to apply when special
knowledge is required"
\ New Ministry.
The scientists recommend the Gre
| alton of a ministry of science, com
merce and industry in the place of the
present board of trade, to keep in
full touch with the scientific knowl-
edge of the moment. This would be
accompanied by demand for scien-
tific requirements, not a examining

scientific education on the part OF
candidates for the civil service and
for the army officers schools.
To obtain these results. plea il

Increase in Drinking Among Gcntlcr
sex of Manufacturing sections.

LONDON, Feb. 5.-Annual reports
from the minor courts of Lancashire
show an increase of drinking among
women In the manufacturing districts.
At Rochdale. the justices records
show that during the year past 173
men and 1922 women were arrested
for drunkenness, against 22S men and
only 81 women in the year previous.
Rochdale's prosperity, due to the fact
that the women of the laboring
classes have all the employment they
want and in most cases separation al
lowances from soldier husbands, Is
held responsible for the increased
drinking. There Is one liquor license
in the town to every 27z persons
Nearly all OF the manufacturing
places show similar results. The chief
constable Of Wigan says within the
past six months the number of women
visiting bars has almost doubled.
A few exceptional points show an
Improvement.

STUDY OF GERMAN
MAY BE ABOLISHED
Half OF French Students Have VOlun.
tarily Dropped II for
English.

Correspondence of The Associated Press
PARIS, Feb. 5.-French school
authorities have been conducting an
inquiry as to whether the study of
German should be continued in the
high schools. 1t appears that so per
cent of the students who formerly
took German have abandoned this
study in favor of English.
English, however, should not, 1t is
felt, have the whole benefit of this
change. A commission which is pro-
noting commercial relations between
France and Russia, in fact, has
formally requested the government
that Russian should be included in
the curriculum of the high schools.
Various chambers Of commerce have
included Russian in the commercial
schools they control; now the mu-
nicipal schools are doing the same.
Though Russian is reputed as one
of the hardest languages, it is urged
that there are compensating facilities.
For instance, Russian syntax is more
akin to the French than is the Ger
man, and the use of lenses is confined
to only one form of each Of the three
and the unity of Russian vocabulary
makes it possible for him who has

UNEARTH A NUMBER
OF COSTLY RELICS
Sacred Buddhist Mcmcntos Dug Up
in the Puniab: Include One
Bone.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press
DELHI. India, Feb. IA number
of sacred Buddhist relics, including a
bone of Buddha. have just been un-
earthed at TaXila. near Rawalpndi, In
the Punjab.
When Buddha died near Kusinara
about the year 4S3 b. G. fragments
Of his bones were distributed as relics
to a large number of the more inn
portant religious centers. A quarter
of century ago knowledge Of these
centers was meager and no authentic
discovery of them had been made
Since that time. however, several GER
tain relics have been found.
Taxlla long before Alexander the
Great made 1t military center was
one of the holiest and most impor-
tant Buddhist sites.
The relics of Buddha that have
been found there were protected in
various ways. generally being placed
in crystal box placed within a cov-
cred or cleft bowl upon which the ma
ture Of the treasure is described. The
workmanship on these cases is very
fine. There is vast field OF search
still untouched in India. but the skill
full and energetic work of the British
Archaeological society has already
cleared up many uncertainties and
identified many of the holy places OF
Buddhism. such as Kuslnara, the
scene OF Buddha's death, and Rum

still remain hundreds OF ancient un-

the executive committee of that or
