Chinese silk Trade.

The American demand for silk III
China has greatly increased In the last
few years until at the present time
about % per cent Of the Chinese silk
is sent to the United States. This is
the result of American enterprise more
than that of the Chinese The Japa-
nese silks. had been irlsfavor for a long
time with the manufacturers of this
country, but it was well understood
that the quality Of the Chinese was
superior, but it was not adapted for
use in this country because of the
manner in which it was woven. An
American manufacturer secured a
moving picture reel showing the Japa-
nese methods of manufacture. and as
a result the Cinnamon were induced to
change theirs 60 a system to conform
with the demands of the occidental
customers, and the industry has ac-
cordingly taken great jump.

Fifteen villages in the Aisne dis

the sites Of these villages are too dan

avoid loss of life the government has
purchased the land on which the vii
lagos stood and will keep possession
of it until it can be made safe.
These sites are the ones often fought
over, on which the ground has been
turned over and over again. burying
explosives of all kinds to unknown
depths. There is no trace OF buildings

RELY TOO MUCH ON MACHINES
Writer Lsmehts the Lack Of Personal
Responsibility Disoernibls Among
the Worlds Worleas~,

Writing In the Scientific MontISy on
the value of handIcraft in the re-edu-
cation OF wounded soldiers, Capt.
Frank A. Waugh of the sanitary corps,
U. S. A.. says:
at is great defect of modern So
ciety that 1t depends too much on ma
chinery. Everything we touch is ma
chine-made. The common laborer in
particular hardly ever sees or touches
anything but machine-made objects.
He begins life In q machine-made go
cart, eats canned food from machine
made table with a stamped-steel knife
fork and spoon, dies in the hospital
in a machIne-made bed, is buried with
a machine-made coffin and marked
with machine-made tombstone. When
such n man once makes with his own
hands a good basket or leather pocket
book he begins to realize the value
of honest craftmanship-the place of
personal responsibility in the days
labor. This is a most fundamental
element in human psychology now
largely lost in a mechanical world
where objects are made by machines,
not by men. The men only feed the
machines and are themselves con-
trolled by another social machine

Boards AS BILL COLLECTORS
Author Gives Possible Reason Why
Most Publishers Prefer the Clean
Shaven Face.

Herbert Jenkins, the London pub
Usher who occasionally tosses Off a
book himself, tells the story of how
on one occasion when he was dining
with an author and editor, the author
suddenly called his attention to man
sitting alone in a far corner of the
restaurant.
"That man." remarked the author,
"has character. He has a publisher
from whom he can never extract
money. What do you think he did!'
Mr.. Jenkins shook a dubious head.
"He went to the publishers Office
and demanded payment. There was
nothing doing. Without ceremony he
seized the publisher by the beard and
announced his intention of hanging on
until he got a cheek. He got his
money. E
"That." continued the author re-
morselessly, as he fixed a speculative
eve upon Mr.. Jenkins elean-shaven
chin, "is why very few publishers wear
boards"

SHOULD GET ANOTHER BEAU
Little Probability That. Hoosier Girl
VIII Ever Eradicate stingy Streak
From Present One.

The stingiest young man has been
discovered and he is a Hoosier too

termed a chair-warner by the family
of the girl whom he hoEors with his

AS for candy and flowers, well he has
not sent or brought any of either.
AS he seemed TO be really nice the
girl decided that perhaps 1he was green
that he needed little hint. So the
other night she decided TO give him
one. After he had occupied about an
hour of her time and also of her IA

"0h, I'm so hungry for candy. VIII
you 90 TO the drug store with me so
that / can get some?"
He rose to show his willingness, and
the girl was delighted, believing that
her plan was going TO work. But when
the drug store was reached and the
candy was bought, he displayed no In
tention of paying the bin. So, of
course, she had TO do 1t herself.
FURIOUS at him and the whole world,
too, she carried the box home and put
It, still In its wrappings. on the piano
In the living room. And all the rest
of the evening she tortured him by
talking of the Joy she would have on
the morrow when she ate the candy.

TO ISSUE FAIR PRICE
LIST ON VEGETABLES

Wholesale prices of vegetables have
taken such a drop in the last few days
that Fair Price Commissioner Walter
]. Bienemann has decided to issue a
new fair price list Monday. II prob,
ably will include most of the staple
groceries as well. as he predicted {
drop in all food prices. especially
vegetables. He even said that he ex'
pected sugar to be selling at IL and Is
cents by January. while its present
price is % cents.
This list might aid in carrying news
Of the fall in vegetable prices to the
neighborhood and suburban grocery
stores, where the old scale of high
prices still prevails to a great extent
Commissioner Bienemann said. He
explained that it usually was from two
to four days before the effect of 2
change in prices was felt in the out
lying sections.

He had been tramping for hours,
and not once had he passed place
where he could refresh himself. At

There was once a noble college man,
says Harvey's Weekly, who was noted
for the profusion with which, he spent,
wasted and lost money in everything
he did, and who kept up the practice
for some years in business. after
he left his Alma Mater. He disap-
peared for few years, and when
found again he was working on a
farm. A friend asked how he was get
ting on, and he replied with enthusi-

Weeds and Hay Fever.

Interesting observations made by
DIR. William Sheppegrell, president OF
the American Hay Fever Prevention
association. are reported in a paper
published by him. AS a result OF,
weed-cutting campaign carried out in
New Orleans in the spring of 1916 the
number of hay fever cases was re-
duced to less than so per cent OF the
usual prevalence. The "cold storage
treatment tof the disease in which
practically all ventilation is excluded
In order to insure the absence of at
mospheric pollen, is said TO afford only
transient relief. while the low tem-
perature is likely to cause bronchitis.
The effects of an abundant rain on hay
fever patients is beneficial because the
rain not only washes the pollen out of
the air, but also permanently removes
its toxic qualities, so that it is harm
less when again blown into the air
after the rain is over. This has been
proved by laboratory experiments, in
which pollen, after submersion in wa
ter, was inhaled by hay fever subjects
without any apparent effect.

VILLA HAS QUIT

Villa. the notorious Mexican
bandit, has surrendered to the de
la Huerta government, and prom
;sed TO retire from the revolution
arv business. He withstood
Carranza and the United States
and making terms with the gov
ernment built up on the assassi-
nation of Carranza, lays down his
arms. May be the new govern
ment would have got" him, but
this IS doubtful in American
eyes. What Pershing and an
American army could not do IS
not likely Of accomplishment by
Mexican soldiers.
An Indictment for murder
against Villa is on the court rec
lords of New Mexico in connec-
ton with the raid on Columbus
in 1916. Unless we took charge
vi ct armis OF Mexico, and made
some such man as Pershing mili-
tary dictator of the country, and
cut the Washington wires, Villa
would stay on his own side OF the
boundary line and continue to
make faces at Uncle Sam. We
Know what happened when an
American expedition with its
hands tied went across the Rio
Grande The blood of our sol
diers, murdered by Carranzistas
and ,Nillistas alike, has never
been avenged. We could go 5000
miles to take part in a world war
but Parral and Columbus and
Tampieo incidents, happening at
our own backdoor, have been vir-
tually ignored.
Villa is hero. Viva Villa y
cries Mexico. About all that
Uncle Sam can do is to turn his
head the other way and say Moth
