CHINA HAS POOR
METHOD FOR ITS
SILK PRODUCTION

Toxic, May 24.-(Mail.)-Chinese
methods Of producing silk are so
primitive that it will be a long time
before China can offer satisfactory
material to the American market, in
the opinion of D. e. Douty, one of
the American party who visited China
to investigate the silk industry. He
said:
THE American silk dealers have
often called the attention of the Chi
nese authorities to the importance of
improving their silk industry, bot
much to u regret n surprise the
Chinese authorities can never afford to
listen to any suggestion on the sub
ject. In consequence all considera-
tons necessary for the development
of sericultural industry in China are
completely neglected.
1T is a matter of regret that China
should remain in such q condition of
industrial torpor at this time, when
there is a growing international de-,
mand for silk as a consequence Of the
growth of women workers incomes
throughout the world"
An official of the Japan Silk Thread
association says: Improvement of
the Chinese silk industry will be
beneficial not only to China and
America. but to Japan as we'll, because
the limit of production of silk has
mulberry leaves cannot be increased,
and Chinese are needed for
the further development of the silk
industry here. Close cooperation be-
tween China, Japan and America Ia
necessary in order to offer products
satisfactory to the silk trade in
America"

NO PASSPORTS ARE
REQUIRED TO ENTER
DOMINION OF CANADA

Ottawa, Ont. Jun e 17.-American
tourists visiting Canada do mot re-
quire passports as a condition of en-
try to Canada from the United States
or as a condition of leaving Canada
FOR the United States, according to a
statement just made by thel Canadian
department of immigration and Col
onization:
Canada welcomes bona fde tour
lists, the statement continues, and will
extend every possible courtesy to such
travellers in entering and leaving the
Dominion.
The statement is prompted by the
fact that many thousands Of A1neri-
cans spend their summer. holidays in
Canada. This year they find an addi-
tional i%nducen,ent in the fact that
United States money commands a
premium in Canada, and many in
.Quiries have been received concerning
restrictions at the border. The state
ment by 1.-THE Canadian Department of
immigration and Colonization sets all
doubts on that subject at rest.

Tinker Bob knew who they yer when

just how they would be able to raise
their young when the nest was so far
from the ground.
To be sure, it was only a little way
from the ground when they built 1t,
but the stalk had grown so rapidly
that now they were far above any
other tree in the Forest. These crea-
lures were engaged in such interesting
conversation that they did not notice
how high in the air they were. Tinker
Bob ventured to speak: Hello" said
he, don't you think it is a good way
from the ground to build a nest?"
There was silence for a moment
as each creature looked at the other
as though astonished to think anyone
was near. Then n of them looked
to one side a little and saw Tinker
