USE GLASS FOR FALSE HAIR
Material Also Converted Into Cotton
and Wool and Pressed Into
Sheets or Pads.

In Venice they r spinning glass for
commercial uses, converting 1t into
glass cotton and glass wool pressed
into sheets or pads, says the Popular
Science Monthly. Although the prln-
cipal use Of the product at present is
for insulation, VIZ have heard the word
OF the italian makers, that 1t serves
admirably for making artificial hair,
wigs, perukes, dolls hair, Santa Claus
boards and other hirsute adornments.
The processes Of manufacture are
simple. Solid glass rods, made OF pure
American soda that contains no adul-
teration Of lead or other metal, are
worked into iuf under a Bunsen
burner and blowpipe. A bicycle wheel,
minus the tire, winds up the threads.
If the threads are sufficiently fine they
curl and fun out like wool.
The product is now marketed in
three forms-glass cotton, glass wool,
and in sheets about one-half inch thick
which resemble white felt pads. In the
last form mentioned 1t may be used to
make s~eparators for accumulators Of
electricity.

More Food From New Islands.

Our new possessions In the Allan
dc-the Virgin islands-will become
more nearly self-supporting II the aim
Of the United States department Of
agriculture is realized. A representa-.
tive Of the federal department In
v~estigated the agricultural situation In
these islands last season and made
suggestions intended to help the peo-
pie there TO produce more food.
The only crops the investigator found
under extensive cultivation were sugar
cane and Sea Island cotton, the yields
Of which are low compared with other
West Indian islands. The representa-
tive found that there was an almost
complete absence Of vegetables and
fruit on the markets, indicating very
limited supplies Of locally grown food
materials. Stock growing Is followed
to some extent, but improved stock is
needed, better forage plants should be
introduced, and more attention is
needed to the proper handling Of stock,
dairying and other farm enterprises.

Sugar Acreage In india.

British midas sugar cane acreage
Is from 8 to 10 per cent larger, accord
ing to the second official crop estimate
for 1a17.1s. This forecast Is based on
reports furnished by provinces that
contain 90 per cent Of the sugar area
pf India, and these reports indicate an
acreage for the crop Of 2.565.000. as
against an estimated $4,000 acres at
the corresponding date q year ago. an
Increase of 10 per cent. As compared
with the final estimate (2,414,00o
acres) for 1851, the present estimate
shows an increase Of 8 per cent.

that, while the crop was affected to .

GINSENG MARKET IN CHINA
Depression in Business Reported Past
Year, Sale Of the Root Being
Much Below Normal.

The market for ginseng In Hong
kong and the China field generally
is depressed, and dealers look for lit
tie revival in the trade until well to-
ward Chinese New Year. Usually
there is a quickening In the trade as
cool weather comes on, but so far the
past year, and in spite Of the high ex-
change value of silver which ought to
stimulate the trade, Lhe sale of the
root has been much below normal,
says Consul General George f. An
derson, HOngkOng. Arrivals have been
below normal and the demand has
not kept pace with the supply. An auc-
ton of a lot of American root on con-
signment recently brought fair prices.
Two days later a similar lot Of as good
II not better root sold for little more
than half the price brought by the first
lot, and private sales made later were
on a still lower level. Uncertain po-
litical conditions in the interior of
China are given as the chief reason
for the present slump in demand, but
uncertain financial conditions due to
the export of silver and copper coin
age from the provinces as well rs the
existence of piracy and other disorders
in some districts have also had ma
terial influence.
Sales have been irregular and the
market may improve at any time. The
root on hand of course will get the
benefit of the improvement, while that
held in the United States will probably
arrive too late to secure full returns.
The ginseng business and all similar
lines Of trade in China are in an un-
certain state and little reliance can
be placed upon the continuance Of any
conditions.

CHANGES IN ARMY

London, April 29--Thcre was in.
terest in today's debate in the House
Of Commons over the recent resigna-
tons from leading positions in the air
forces, during which Lord Hugh Cecil
and others urged that Major General
Trenchard. former chief Of the air
staff, be reinstated in that Office.
Replying TO the criticisms, Premier
Lloyd George complained of and re-
pudiated as offensive the suggestions
that amateur strategists in the cabi-
net had beeilstrying to advise General
Trenchard. The premier announced
that Lieutenant General Smuts, q
member of the privy council. has been
appointed to investigate the dispute
between General Trenchard and
Baron Rothcrmere, brother of Lord
Northcliffe, who resigned as air min
lister last Thursday, and that General
Smuts had arrived at the conclusion
that General Trenchard's qualities
were better suited to leadership than
to staff duty.
1t was hoped, added the premier.
that Genera Trenchard's services
would be retained in a position of
considerable power in the air force.

BROADWAY RUNS
RIOT WHEN WAR
HEROES PASS BY
New York AbIaze With Patriot
ism as American and French
Soldiers From Battlefield
March to City Hall.

New York. April 29.--One hundred
and FIVE heroes of the French army,
members of The famous Chasseurs Al
pine corps, nicknamed Blue Devils"
who arrived today, and the 50 vet
erans of General Pershing's army who
came yesterday from overseas, gave
New Yorkers series of thrills today.
Patriotic fervor reached a high
pitch when General Pershings sol
diers, many Of them wearing the
French war cross awarded for
bravery, marched up Broadway from
the Battery to the city hall, where
they were formally received by Mayor
Hylan. After the ceremony they
scattered throughout the city to aid
in the Liberty bond campaign. The
arrival of the Frenchmen was entirely
unexpected. They also came to help
the Liberty loan campaign.
Women Kiss Heroes.
Spectators went wild with enthusi-
asm as the men filed by. Dignihed
business men and fnanciers threw
their hats high into the air and danced
in boyish glee, while several women
broke through the police Gordon to
kiss the ma, chers.
The cheering all along the route
was deafening and the flag and hand"
kerchief waving lent kaleidoscope
effect to the scene.
At the city haf, Mayor Hylan ad-
dressed the soldiers from the balcony,
saying:
Mayor Hylan's Welcome.
II welcome you men in the name OF
your proud countrymen. l welcome
you in the name Of the men, women
and children OF this city, and wish
to say to you that we are proud of
you and of the manner in which you
have conducted yourselves while on
foreign soil"
The city was Just recovering from
this outburst Of enthusiasm when the
visiting Frenchmen-heroes all-and
named "Blue Devils" by the Germans
because of the color of their uniforms
and their fighting qualities arrived.
They appeared at Liberty loan conf
mittee headquarters on lower Broad
way after having travelled through
Fifth avenue and several downtown
streets on auto buses from the steam
ship pier. Their reception was only
exceeded by that accorded Pershing's
veterans.

senate were accepted by Senator
Overman. One by Senator Wads-

ON BOARD SAVED
81 "Y" Workers Arrive Safely
in London After Thrilling
Rescue From Torpedoed
Vessel.

London, April 29.-A party of 81
American army Young Mems Chris
tan association workers under Arthur
E. Hungerford arrived in London last
night. The ship on which they sailed
was torpedoed yesterday morning and
sank in II minutes. All the passen-
gers and all but three of the crew

sociation and Red Cross.
Praise Americans Conduct.
The number of persons on board
the vessel was about ESQ. One of the
ships officers told the Associated
Press that the Americans had con-
Quoted themselves in an admirable
manner. They had passed most Of
their time aboard the ship in military
drills and daily and nightly lifeboats
drills and every man knew his sta
ton and duties as though by instinct.
Destroyers Immediately were sent
to the rescue and all the lifeboats
were picked up within half an hour.
The vessel was struck aInidship
while in large-convoy under~-'tlie
protection Of destroyers. 1t was pro-
ceeding at about 10 knots in bright
moonlight when struck. There was
an immediate heavy list and three
minutes later the boilers blew up, ex-
tinguishing the lights all over the
ship.
"The Americans behaved like veter-
ans and we're of the greatest assist
ance in launching the lifeboats and
handling them," said one of the Off
GERS of the ship.
