Silk Hat Trade Booming.
ByDMC

The silk hat trade is experiencing a
fculty in regard to output. There has
been an extraordinary revival in the
trade. The demand for silk hats from
both continental and home markets
grows greater every week but while
all the silk makers available have
been placed in work. even veterans
having been brought from retirement.
there is still a serious shortage OF la
Dor. A majority of the silk hatters
now at work are men who have grown
old at their benches. At the present
time there is no fresh labor available,
and II is said that in the four silk
hats firms at Denton there are not
more than three apprentices. For
years the trade has experienced hard
times. and at one period II was feared
that silk hating would die out. Now
there does not appear TO be sufficient
attraction in the trade for the young
men, who prefer felt hating, even
though 1t is claimed silk hating Is
about the best paid craft in the coun-
try.-Manchester Guardian.

BELGIUM

A tiny kingdom 'twixt two ancient
Like diamond set between two baser
stones.
Or fertile vale hemmed in by frowning
The home of art and true home-loving
folk,
Who willingly have suffered for the
right:
Her King in ev=ry inch a king. but
something more
A man. with human sympathy and
thought
Who, for his country, when with
honeyed words
Barbarians sought to make of his fair
land
A stepping-stone by means of which
to crush
The freedom-loving people to the
south,
Made answer in snch words as long
will ring
In ears and minds OF nations still
unborn,
Spurning in scorn the subtly proftered
bribe.
Then seized his sword and led his
army forth.
Beside him. sharing all. his gracious
Queen.
On history's deathless pages still un-
penned.
Beside these nations in the years
long gone
The Swiss, the Poles, Americans. the
Greeks
Who so loved freedom as to die be-
Obedience they would yield to tyrant
will.
Should Belgium's name shine out in
golden text,
A nation fighting battles for the world
Whose sons laid down their lives to
stay the rush
OF cruel hordes with murder in their
hearts.
When awful carnage ends and once
again
The burden of the years the world
resumes.
Its ward should little Belgium be, as
one
Who suffered most and for a fault no,
hers.
And those who by the war are orphan,
Should be tn adopted children OF the
race.

Objects to Seary Films.

Editor The Washington Herald:
1 want to enter my protest against
the outrageous scenes thrust on a
patronizing public.
There are many things shown on the
canvas that should not appear there
scenes of a letting-down nature. and
corrupting tendency; outrageous to
the finer sensibilities Of the best class
of people. Some things are taken for
granted. and justly so; but they have
no place as an exhibit.
The scene, Broken Blossoms" is
outrageous and nerve shocking, and
should be prohibited. and such a brute
OF a daddy should be landed in the
penitentiary for life, before he gets
half through with his hellish deed.
Have we no censor committee to
protect a generous public? II we have,
they are not measuring up to their
responsibility. An outraged public de-
mands protection. If the movies lack
for scenes elevating and attractive.
filled with thrilling romance, they can
have that want supplied, provided
they are willing to pay just price
for the scenarios.
