TRANSFORMING TREES
INTO SILK STOCKINGS

Expectation from the United States
of 5000. GEO pairs Of stockings made
from artificial silk in the fiscal year
Just ended illustrates the growth in
this country of the comparatively new
industry OF production OF artificial silk
from wood pulp compilation by the
National city bank. of New York.
shows that the United States has now
become one of the leading world pro-
ducers Of artificial silk. and that from
ing Il large importer of this product
We have become n very considera BILE
exporter.
Artificial silk. according to the
banks statement. Is manufactured from
ccllulose produced from wood pulp
through the action Of certain chemicals
by which the wood pulp is turned into
substitute almost exactly Identical
with that carried in the body of the
silk worm from which he spins his
cocoon which man transforms into silk
threads This artificial cei1ulose rrac-
tically Identical with that of the silk
worm, is turned into silk threads by
being pressed through minute open
-+aRs-iFt- meta plates, falling ihte-s
liquid which solidifes the thread. While
the textiles thus made from the artifl-
clal fiber are not yet fully equal to
those produced from the natural silk.
the growing use of the artificial silk
is illustrated by the fact that our i'm
ports of artificial silk chiefly in the
form nf yarns or threads, have aggre-
gated about 100000 IN the last de-
cade These, prior to the war were
drawn chiefly from Great Britain, Ger
many, Belgium and France. that from
Great Britain alone being $i197,000.
from Germany si,045, 900, from Belgium
s6S5 900 and from France $4,000.
With the opening OF the war the sup
ply from Germany and Belgium was
entirely suspended. and that from Great
Britain and France materially reduced,
so that the quantity OF artificial silk
yarn imported fell from 2.75a,oo
pounds in 1914 to 293 900 in 1918
This fatl-ofr in the artificial silk
available in other parts of the world
has stimulated our own production of
artificial silk, which advanced from
eco, geo pounds in 1914, the year in
which the industry was established in
this country. to 100000 pounds in
1871 while our expectations of manu-
features of artificial silk jumped from
sS67.3lS in the fiscal year 1917 to ST.
33a Si2 in iaiSsth bulk of this being
500 a17 dozen pairs of hosiery valued
at Sl.932.034
The increasing use of artificial silk
in the manufactures of the United
states Is illustrated by census figures,
" hitch show that the quantity OF artifi-
cial silk used in the silk manufacture
ing industry of the United States in
1899 was 6.056 pounds. in 1904. 466,151,
i'll 1909, 9I4.494, and in 1914, 1.9o29i4
pounds. There are no official statistics
of the quantity used in manufacturing
for any later year than 1914, but the
fact that 100000 pounds Of artificial
silk were produced in the United States
n 1917. and over 100000 pounds Inn
