Three Principal Ways of
Initiating Silk WORMS
Method of Making Silk

OF the three principal ways of MAX
ing artificial silk the so-called viscose
process is perhaps most in use. Com
mencing with some form of celiulose,
cotton or wood pulp, the material is
treated with caustic soda till a soda
cellulose compound is formed that is
soluble in carbon bisulphide to form
a viscid, thick liquid.
In all processes for silk manufacture
the fbrous condition of the original
material is destroyed, the whole intent
of the operation being to initiate the
work Of the silk worm: The silk
worm transforms in it's anatomy the
leaf substance on which 1t feeds tdAa
similar viscid liquid, which 1t spins
into silk fiber. Sometimes this oper-
alton of the silk worm is interrupted
as when the worm is itself treated
with vinegar and the yiscid fluid drawn
BY hand into the glistening smells used
by fishermen to attach the hooks and
flies to his braided silk trout line.
After the cellulose solution is form
ed the problem of again producing a
fiber has been met in various ways.
but all depend on forcing the liquid
through small apertures, sometimes
minute glass tubes-sometimes holes
bored in metal plate-into q vat
filed with liquid, from which 1t may
be recovered for Keeling and spinning
in the ordinary way.

Secretary Houston Says
Giant Trees of Redwood
Forests Should Be Saved

An immediate duty rests on the peo-
pie of California, the nation and the
lumber companies to preserve the red
woods of the western coast, said David
f. Houston, secretary of agriculture,
recently in a statement at Lake Tahoe.
Il have just come from a visit to the
great redwood forest" he said, accord
ing to the Spokane Spokesman-Rev
California is building a paved high
way through these wonderful forests
and Oregon is meeting the road from
the north.
"The impression that / am taking
away is not only the deep inspiration
that everyone must feel who sees the
redwood forests, but the determined
conviction that some immediate action
must be taken to prevent their de-
struction and to. save them for the
benefit of the whole nation and the
world. As passed through mile after
mile Of these great woods, there came
to me repeatedly the thought that
there could be no more fitting memo
rial to the California men who gave
their lives in the war than these mar
velous living monuments, If they could
but be consecrated to that purpose.
'9This highway is the most magnifi-
cent in the world, yet these forests are
being cut down, In some places direct
ly along the road. The road is MAX
ing redwood lumber more valuable, but
the greatest value of the highway is
in the forests.
'This is not strictly local matter.
interest in it should be countrywide,
for the Redwood Memorial park would
rival the Grand Canyon and Niagara.
I urge everyone to lend his support to
immediate constructive action

GULL THE FARM
POULTRY FLOCKS

Two-fifths of the Missouri farm hens
fail to pay their feed bill. Unless q
hen lays from 60 to rs eggs year she
is being kept at loss. High priced
feeds make it vital that only good lay
ers be kept. To rid the farms of low
producers each flock owner should
practice some method of culling, says
T. s. Townsley Of the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture. One
Missouri county reported that $500
low-producing hens were culled from
S58 farm flocks last fall with an esti-
mated saving of more than $4,000 for
feed. Proper culling reduces the feed
bin but not the egg production.
The system of culling is based upon
the fact that nature stamps the hen
with certain visible characteristics
which indicate the traits and habits of
the individual. AS in the human FAM
lily the hard working farm wife is easily
distinguished from the social butterfly
of the city, so in the hen family cer-
tain visible characteristics indicate
whether a hen has been a high layer
or a loafer. Anyone who studies the
birds closely may easily recognize
these differences.
The ideal time to give the flock a
complete culling is about the middle
of the Noting period. This will vary
with the different flocks but usually
comes I'M August. September or Octo-
Der. The characters which distinguish
poor layers from good ones are most
evident between August 1 and N0veni-
Der 1. At this time the birds are being
prepared for winter quarters and some
reduction in the number Is usually de-
sirable. The hens have finished the
heavy season of production by this
time and the poorer ones have stopped
laying. The low producers will not
lay during the fall and winter months
and should be sold. The egg produc-
tion viii not be decreased.

Loss of Pitcher Toney
May Mean Loss of Flag
to the Cincinnati Reds

After all is said and done, the re-
lease of Fred Toney by the Reds looms
up as the worst error committed by
the Cincinnati club in the last five
seasons. Getting Pat Moran was a
stroke of wisdom which has already
brought rich rewards-but releasing
Toney was a mistake which may re-
suit In transferring pennant to New
York.
The mountaineer is pitching the
most marvellous ball in either league.
Up to date he has won nine games
and lost but three, and in these II
games but 81 runs have been scored
off his delivery-less than two runs
to the game.

season had been for the Reds, in

Pool Of Water Served

Brushes were probably invented
much later than the comb. But the

Thomas +. Willard, who lived and
travelled for 20 years In the Orient,
has told the senate foreign relations
committee that the Shantung clause
in the peace treaty means war be-
tween the United States and Japan
within ten years. The japanese situ-
alton is creeping up, he says, just as
the German situation did, and he be
lieves that while trouble may start in
many ways, the United States will be
sucked in. Willard was adviser to the
Chinese delegation in Paris while the
peace treaty was being framed. He

Kerosene and Powdered

If you mix in a pail four quarts of hot

People Urged To
Observe Rules On
Garbage Collection

Complaints on the collection OF gar
bage have almost ceased, according TO
Gino Pierotti. superintendent Of street
cleaning. under whose direction comes
the garbage collection department. And
complaints would be still fewer, says
Pierotti, il people better understood the
rules and regulations covering the
garbage collections and disposal.
First. the city requires that a water
tight metal garbage can with a "
be provided by the householder. An
other can should be placed in the back
yard fog ashes. Loose ashes will not be
collected. Rubbish like tin cans, bot
ties, crockery, waste paper and rags
must not be put in with either the
garbage or the ashes, but require a
separate receptacle. such as is used for
both. .
cans and ~receptacles should not be
larger than a size that can be handled
by one man.
In yards which abutt upon alleys the
cans must be placed at a convenient
point in the yard next to the rear alley.
Two collections a week are made from
private residences. One OF these is
for garbage. The other is for the coll
lection of ashes and rubbish. Refuse
from apartment houses is collected
three times a week when necessary.
Daily collections are made from stores
and downtown business houses.
There Is a rule against collectors en-
tering AOuses or stores to get garbage
or other refuse. They are not permitted
to accept money under the rule.
Store and factory waste, such as pa
per, straw, cinders, decayed fruit and
all other refuse not strictly kitchen
garbage or domestic household waste
also rubbish and refuse left on streets
by builders and contractors, must be
removed by the wne or occupants
of the premises with reasonable prompt
ness.
At present Ga carts are being used in
the city for garbage and refuse collec-
ton. Three are motor trucks, the 9TH
ers one mule carts. The eastern Sec
ton is cared for by 16 of them, the
north by % and the south by %. The
trucks work downtown mainly.
