New Bond Issues.

Already suggestions are offered
which refer to the manner in which
the United States shall utilize these
bonds, the aggregate value Of which
is from $500, 10000 to 10000. .OO0. co.
Some are OF the opinion that the
government can do no better and
the people can be no better served
than by the holding by the Treas
ury Department Of these bonds un-
til the day OF payment dawns. Pre-
sumably when the life Of the bonds
ends, they will be for the most part
refunded in new issues of bonds and
having a long time to run. And,
some of the authorities are OF the
opinion that at least fifty years will
pass. perhaps more. before our al
lies will have liquidated this in
debtedness. Until the bonds are
liquidated the United States will be
in receipt each year OF the interest
which they bear and the common
estimate is that not less than
500. 10000, perhaps 800. GO. 900, will
in this way be turned into the
Treasury. constituting a great year
ly asset for the government AMI
for the people.
Some able men who have suggested
a manner OF treating these bonds are
inclined to the opinion that it might
be the wiser part for the government
either to undertake to float them In
the American markets or else to util-
re these bonds as a basis for a new
issue Of Federal government bonds
which would bear the stamp and au-
thority Of the Federal government and
be amply secured because the bonds
OF the foreign government stand be-
hind them.

Gy.! COTTON BASIS OF SILK
French inventor, After Long Study,

Artificial Product.

According TO Count Hilaire. inventor
Of artificial silk, which is now pro-
duced by vast factories In Switzerland,
Belgium, France, England and the
United States. II has for its basis moth
ias less than gun cotton. One of the
greatest problems he had to solve in
pcrfectlng 1t for everyday use was to
render It nOnexplosive.
The gun cotton under the chardon-
net process is first dissolved in a mix
ture of alcohol and ether and then
spun through fine capillary tubes by
means of hydraulic presses.
Other chemical processes give 1t in
combustlble and nonexplosive quail
ties. together with the consistency and
the transparency Of the finest silk from
Japan or China.
II took just 80 years of the so which
Count IIllaire has completed to per-
feet his discovery and render It Of act.
nal and practical commercial value.
The illustrious chemist and scientist
has just been elected to the supreme
NOR of membership In the French
Academy of Sciences for his discovery
of how to put one over on the silk
WORMS. During the war he had been
decorated by the French minister Of
war with the Cross Of Chevaller Of
The Legion of Honor for discoveries
relative to the manufacture Of high ex
ploslves growing out of his researches
made primarily to render artificial silk
stockings nonexploslve.

one more blow at the nebular hypothe-

The woman who declares she would
rather be dead than out of fashion ex-
presses a thought in every woman's

Reclalminn Waste Places.

Twenty years ago news story from
Washington says land in the Louisiana
parish of Tanglpahoa was worth 90
cents an acre and human life was
worth scarcely anything at all. 1t was
case of cause and effect.
Then the immigrants came. They
were chiefly Italians and Hungarians
They had lived at home on land that
was poorer than the Tangipahoa. They
practiced intensive cultivation. Today
their parish Is one of the greatest
strawberry farming districts In the
United States.
Land that sold for so cents Is now
worth 500 an acre. And the school
