Facts About POngees and Other Silk.
from China

Facts About POngees and Other Silks
from China
The great silk growing districts of
Italy and France have been so affect
ed by the war that the world more
and more is falling back upon the
silks of China, and upon artificial
silk, to supply an ever increasing de-
mand for silk fabrics.
The artificial silk made from mac
Grated wood pulp that is squeezed
through little holes, much as macroni
is made, Is by nature an honest and
fairly wearable stuff which ought al
ways to be sold under its own name
and without the weighing" by means
OF oxide or tin, glue and soap which
sometimes makes it look much sitter
and heavier than 1t really is
The genuine silks that come from
China are of two general classes: those
from cultivated silkworms and those
from wild silkwo-ms.
The wild worms feed on oak leaves
IN the less pOpulous districts. From
their cocoons is spun the light brown
thread, which without dyeing, can be
made into pongee- This, as everybody
knows, is naturally a very beautiful
stuff. 1t was extremely popular q
few years ago because of its wearing
and laundering qualities. Some Of
the pongee that comes to market is
still reliable; but the Chinese manu-
facture-S of late years have learned
to adulterate it with silk waste, to
weight" it with metallic oxides and
otherwise to put it into the class of
undesirable textiles. So that the buy
er of Chinese wild silks needs to
have her eyes open.
The cultivated silk stuffs from
China are far less uniform in quality
than those from Europe, even though
efforts are now being made to stand
ardizes the growing of silk in the ce-
lestial republic. Throughout the
eastern and central provinces of Chi
IA. hundreds of thousands of farm
ers have each his own breed of silk
worms which he received from his
ancestors and which he too piously be-
fleves to be the best in the world. Sci
entfic breeding for strong, fine fibre
unknown to most of the Chinese.
The farmers hatch and endeavor to
raise both the sickly- and the strong
wO-m. In some districts not more
than one-fourth of all the worms ever
come to maturity An ounce of Chi
/ 1ese seed yields on the average less
than twenty-five pounds of cocoons
whereas the Italian farmer gets from
! 10 to 80 pounds Der ounce.
/ Hence, although something like
/ fifty million pounds of silk are pro
duced yearly IN China, a great pro
portion of this is of the poorer, less
/ eliabIe grades One reason, undoubt
edly, why American manufacturers
woven silks is because of the thin
poor yarn spun from these inferior
resort to so much weighing of thei1
sorts of silk of the far East.
Much effort, it is reported by Amer
lean consuls, is now being made to
teach the industrious but obstinate
Chinese peasants to adopt modern
European methods of silk culture
As these succeed the quantity OF
stout, reliable silks in the market
should be greatly increased Select

Though a prophet may be without

seems to exist regard ding the enlist
ment of registered men in the United
States Navy In order to make this
matter clear, Commodore J. N. Or
chard. recruiting officer for the Kan
sas City district, authorizes the fol
lowing statement:
"Men are still needed for the Navy,
Registered men may enlist providing
they are not needed for any current
selective service quota.
Before registered men are enlist
ed they must obtain a written certifi-
cate from their local boards which
should read as follows
''This is to certify that John Doe,
Class No Order No
is not needed for any current quota
from this district.
"That certificate must be signed
by member of the local board. Rec
ruits must obtain the certificate for
themselves. Recruiting officers will
not wire or write. for the certificate

In a communication received by
this paDer. Collector of Internal Rev
enue, w. H. L. PeppereII. announces
that federal income tax officer will
be sent into this county on January
II, 1918, and will be here until Jan
uray p, 1918, at different towns as
follows. He viii have his office in
Court House, Ellis, January IL,
1918 to January Is, 1918; Postoffice.
Hays, January Is, 1913 to January
21, 1918; Postoffice, Victoria, Jan
uary %, 1913, and viii be there
every day and willing to help persons
subject to the income tax make out
their returns without any cost to
them for his services.
How many lncome-taX payers will
there be in Ellis County? If you can
guess how many married persons liv-
ing with wife or husband will have
net incomes of So 900 or over, and
how many unmarried persons will
have net incomes of $1,000 O. over
this year, then you know. The Col
iector of Internal Revenue estimates
that there will be 40 taxpayers in
this county.
Returns of income for the year
I9I9 must be made on forms provid-
ed for the purpose before March 1,
1913. Because a good many people
don't understand the law and won't
know how TO make out their returns
the government is sending this expert
70 do it for them. But the duty is on
the taxpayer to make himself known
TO the government. If. he doesn't
make return as required before
March 1, he may have to pay a pen
atty ranging from $40 to $1,000, pay
a fine or go to jail. So if you don't
want to take chances on going to
Jail, you better call on the income
tax man. If you are not sure about
being subject to tax, better ask him
and make sure. Whether you see the
income tax man or not, you must
make return If subject to tax
OF course, persons resident in
other counties may, if they want to,
come and see the income tax man
who will be at the places mentioned.
The Collector eSuggests that every
BODY start figuring up now his income
and expenses so as to be ready with
the figures when the expert arrives.
Expenses, however. don't mean fam
lIy expenses, money to pay off the
principal of a debt, new machinery,
buildings or anything like that. They
mean what you spend In making your
money, interest, taxes paid, hired
help, amount paid out for goods sold,
seed, stock bought for feeding, rent
Except for your dwelling,) etc
income includes about every dollar
you get.

Science Now Gives Each of Us Two
E7rer

Science Now Gives Each of Us Two
Faces.
Most of US have heard the express
sion 'two-faced" applied to some one
in scorn. 1t always has been taken to
mean that the person so described
was hyprocritical. But PSYCHOLOGISTS
have recently undertaken to prove
that all of US are two-faced. That is
to say, they maintain that the two
sides of the human face differ. And
the left side of the face is the more
comely Of the two. In proof of the
assertion, it is pointed out that in
taking profile pictures, photographers
usually pose their subjects so as to
EXPOSE the left side of the head
Now for the scientific proof. The
left side of the b-ain, as is well
known. does practically oil the think
ing and planning. while the right side
relates more closely to the Dhvsical
and is the base of senses. Put strange
", enough. these two portions of the
brain control poosite sides of the
body, and as the left side of the brain
does the hardest work. it imposes the
greatest strain uDon the muscles and
nerves .on the right side of the BODY.
Thus the muscles of the right cheek
are more constantly in use and unde--
90 greater stress than those of the
left side, and this causes deeper wrin-
kles on the right side of the face.
But this condition has another result.
As being IN closer touch with the
| thinking half of the brain, the right
side of the face has greater ANNA
ton and the right eye is more express
sive thar the left
AS further proof of this theoorv
ard one which may not be wholly well
come, these gentlemen go further and
tell us that the two sides of the face
do not match. They say that one eve
brow is usally higher than the other
and that the eyes ordinarily are not
mates. And neither do the two corn
ers of the human mouth tally. Our
ears seldom match, and one jaw is set
differently from the other.
It is q familiar maximum that thee
are no duplicates in nature The
PSYCHOLOGISTS claim that this is one of
the causes for differences in the fea-
lures of the same person-that ma
ture never models two eyes or ears
in exactly indentical way But there
are persons in whom the difference
is so small that it practically does not
exist. And nearly always this is P
woman. Then we get what is called
a perfect beauty-Ex

Idealism may be 'bourgeouise,

Kanuga Club Members Object to Allowing Estate
for Government Use.-Wif Probably
Go To WayneNvile. =

Hendersonville will not get the Ger
internment camp as was announce
ed last week would be located at Ka-
.nuga club.
After a commission of Government
officials visited Hendersonville they
found that the contract which was pro-
posed between e. B. Gresham and the
Government could not hold o account
of certain property rights of memhsrs
of the Kanuga Club colony.
George w. Stephens, president OF the
American Trust company of Charlotte.
and founder of Kanuga. representing a
number of the members went to Wash
ington as soon as he had heard of the
proposed location OF the camp and
made vigorous protests and the Off
Gals at once sent members TO this city
to investigate. They found that what
Mr.. Stephens contended was true.
1t is thought that Waynesville will
! secure the camp as it is known that
the citizens of that city are making
strenuous efforts to iocAte it there.
