Bonar Law about the four points of the
Triple alliance policy on the Abandonment
Of compulsory military service, the
abandonment of the Russian adven-
ture. the raising of the blockade and the
release OF conscientious DIRECTORS, the
alternative being a general strike. Al
though it is doubtful whether The ALI
ance could together bring this strike
about, it is certain such a cessation
of work could be organized as would
have a paralyzing effect on the bust
ness Of the country. The four points
originated with the Miners several
weeks ago, when they met to recon-
mend the acceptance of the Sankey report,
Later the points were discussed at the
Southport Conference and have now OBJ
tanned the sanction of the Labour Party
Executive. The Trade Union Congress
is lukeWarGa on the question of a gene
raj strike, but demands come from such
influential bodies that the Parliamentary
Executive finds it impossible to ignore
them. Drastic actions, which have the
support Of two and a half million work
erS OF the railway, mines and transport
services would be opposed by ew COM
bination which is being formed under
Messrs. Will, Thorne and Bentilett, con-
sisting Of the National Union of General
Workers, the Amalgamated Union La
bour, the lockers, carriers, gas workers
and some others. All these are firm
against direct action ana favour esta-
bllshed parliamentary procedure. Tex
tile workers are in the balance, but the
whole situation IS most delicate and diff
cult.

a London police official the other day.
''These men deliberately elect to live
by stealing because they find 1t adven-

that they Joined the army. At least
one convicted burglar won the Victoria

teristic is provided by a captain In q
famous fighting regiment, who declares
that n Of the bravest men In his
company, a corporal with a Dom. and
other honors, declared himself a pro-

SILK AN INDUSTRY OF INDIA
One Million People In the Great East
ern Country Engaged In Its
Production.

There are 100000 people in India
engaged In the production of silk. Cat
erpillars and moths Of the mulberry
silk industry of India are entirely do
mesticated creatures. The Indians
collect the cocoons spun by caterpil-
lars and allow them to hatch, an ex-

until they lay eggs and when the cater
pillars are large enough they are placed
on trees to feed. When a tree
is stripped a piece Of cloth Is hung
from a limb and the caterpillars crawl
onto 1t and are moved to another tree.
Tasar or tussor silk comes from
China and Japan. Muga silk is a prod
uct of Assam. Fri silk comes from
caterpinars which feed OF the castor
oil plant. 1t Is Of great value In In
dia, because Ii is the only silk that
can be spun from cocoons without kill

MOTORS INSTEAD OF DOGS
Trip Over the Cascades In a Gasoline
Sleigh Was a Distinct
Success.

"A spectacular trial trip was recently
made across the Cascades In a motor
sleigh, and a number OF photographs,
taken at various stages of the journey,
are reproduced I'm Popular Mechan-
dcs. The achievement of the motor
sleigh was almost as amazing as that
OF the first army tank, %conquering, as
It did, eli kinds of obstacles. Swimming
the surface of snowfalls, old or new,
the strange little vehicle broke It's way
through primeval passes with never a
stumble. The rescue Of an automobile,
hopelessly stalled In the drifts Of Sno-
Qualmie pass, was a mere incident In
its progress. Crossing a deep gully on
a pair of hemlock poles was but n Of
the days adventures. The intended
substitution of the motor sleigh for the
dog drawn sledges Of Alaska's snow
bound post trails means more TO the
people of that great territory than may
be generally realized. Jack London and
others have limned the malemute as a
romantic figure; but the followers Of
the trail know we'll he is that. It
Is the elimination Of much human hard
