Civil Population Unarmed-

Though voicing hatred Of the boil

is unarmed and powerless. The red
army lacks morale and its disorganiza-
ton at the time of Baron Nodes de-
parture from Petrograd was increasing
steadily. There was a famine among
the workmen because the factories had
ceased operations. Even the peasants
in the red rmy are said to be against
the bolsheyiki, but an uprising among
them has been averted by the extreme
methods of the bolsheviki The peasants
are pictured as having been entirely
disillusoned from the dream they had

the fact that the surplus harvests have

thought might be of value to the Uni

upon and 200 were important enough
to get before military authorities. Some
OF them, it is said, helped win the war.
The ideas came from England,
France. Switzerland, Hawaii. New Yea

Russia, Poland and one from Germany.
OF course, larger number came from
within the United States. Now that

The name Theodore has been borne

centuries ago. She was the daughter

her orders to a messenger: "If you fail

she meant every word of it.
One may wonder if some Of the mon

NEW WEST INDIAN INDUSTRY
Exports Of Divl-Divi, Product Of Tree
of That Region, viii Grow Now
War is Ended.

An interesting product in which
Curacao, the important port of the
Dutch West Indies, deals is divi-divi,
which is the trade name for the curved
meas of small tree with character
istic winding form, indigenous to
northern South America, Mexico and
n few of the Netherland Antilles, says
the American magazine. The plant
ing is done by sowing only, and the
chief dispensers of the seed were for
n long time the goats. The dried peas
are very much sought after in Amer
lea and Europe because of the high
percentage of tannin they contain
varying from 80 to so per cent. Gu
racao exported $46352 worth of divi-
divi in 1916; S2S,TSS worth in 1917.
Aloes, another product of the col
ony. is exported from Curacao, but
is cultivated chiefly in the island
Arr1ba, which is one of the six com
posing the colony. The gathering of
the aloe leaves takes place during the
dry season, after a part of the mois-
ture they contain has been allowed to
escape. They are cut and the brown.
ish yellow, ill-smelling sap they con-
tain Is intercepted as it leaks out.
Then the sap Is placed in an oven to
evaporate its moisture, and the resi-
due is packed for shipment either in
calabash shells or in specially pre-
pared boxes. New York takes most
of Curacao's aloe resin. 1t Is chiefly
used in the preparation of dyes and
medicines, and is one of the most
generally prescribed purgatives in

Trouble with miners is almost pro-

successive decades, namely, 1864. 1874
and 1884. and on those occasions the
older men led the younger ones. In
the recent trouble it has been the 9th

Into The woven silk. Virtually all the
waste of tin can factories is put to
that use. Some silk stockings contain
as much as 80 per cent of tin. The
use is entirely Legitimate, since the
trade demands silk that is firm and
heavy for certain garments for which
the purchaser desires a perfect fit.
Silk waste, such as WORKOUT and
cast-off garments, becomes in turn a
source of tin worth attention. Rag
pickers give little heed to silk rem
nants, but carefully collect linen and
wool The rag-pickers' union, If there
is such body, might well take notice
of this information. The tin chlor-
Idle in the silk is easily converted into
tin oxide by burning the material, and
