Three Principal Ways of
Initiating Silk Worms
Method of Making silk

OF the three principal ways of max.
ing artificial silk the so-called viscose
process is perhaps most in use. Com,
mencing with some form Of cellulose,
cotton or wood pulp, the material is
treated with caustic soda till a soda
cellulose compound is formed that is
soluble in carbon bisulphide to form
a viscid, thick liquid.
In all processes for silk manufacture
the fbrous condition of the original
material is destroyed, the whole intent
Of the operation being to initiate the
work of the silk worm. The silh
worm transforms in it's anatomy the
leaf substance on which it feeds to 9
similar viscid liquid, which it spins
into silk fiber. Sometimes this oper
alton of the silk worm Is interrupted
as when the worm Is itself treated
with vinegar and the viscid fluid drawn
by hand into the glistening smells USED
by fishermen to attach the hooks ani
flies to his braided silk trout line.
After the cellulose solution is form
ed the problem of again producing 6
fiber has been met in various ways
but all depend on forcing the liquit
through small apertures, sometimes
minute glass tubes-sometimes hole.
bored in a metal plate-into a val
filed with liquid, from which 1t may
be recovered for Keeling and spinning
in the ordinary way.

Secretary Houston Says
Giant Trees of Redwood
Forests Should Be Saved

An immediate duty rests on the peo-
pie Of California, the nation and the
lumber companies to preserve the red
woods of the western coast, said David
F. Houston, secretary Of agriculture,
recently in a statement at Lake Tahoe.
II have just come from a visit to the
great redwood forest" he said, accord.
ing to the Spokane Spokesman-Revie
"California is building a paved high.
way through these wonderful forests
and Oregon is meeting the road from
the north.
"The impression that 1 am taking
away is not only the deep inspiration
that everyone must feel who sees the
redwood forests, but the determined
conviction that some immediate action
must be taken to prevent their de.
struction and to save them for the
benefit Of the whole nation and the
world. As I passed through mile after
mile of these great woods, there came
to me repeatedly the thought that
there could be no more fitting memo.

their lives in the war than these mar.

"This highway is the most magnif.
cent in the world, yet these forests are

immediate constructive action"

GULL THE FARM
POULTRY FLOCkS

Two-ffths of the Missouri farm hens
fail to pay their feed bill. Unless q
hen lays from 60 to Is eggs a year she
is being kept at a loss. High priced
feeds make it vital that only good lay
ers be kept. To rid the farms of low
producers each flock owner should
practice some method of culling, says
T. s. Townsley Of the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture. One
Missouri county reported that 3S,329
low-producing hens were culled from
1853 farm flocks last fall with an esti-
mated saving of more than $4,000 for
feed. Proper culling reduces the feed
bill but not the egg production.
The system of culling is based upon
the fact that nature stamps the hen
with certain visible characteristics
which indicate the traits and habits of
the individual. AS in the human FAM
lily the hard working farm wife is easily
distinguished from the social butterfly
of the city, so in the hen family GER
tain visible characteristics indicate
whether a hen has been a high layer
or a loafer. Anyone who studies the
birds closely may easily recognize
these differences.
The ideal time to give the flock a
complete culling is about the middle
of the molting period. This will vary
with the different flocks but usually
comes in August, September or Octo-
Der. The characters which distinguish
poor layers from good ones are most
evident between August l and Novem-
Der 1. At this time the birds are being
prepared for winter quarters and some
reduction in the number is usually de-
,sirable. The hens have finished the
heavy season Of production by this
time and the poorer ones have stopped
laying. The low producers will not
lay during the fall and winter months
and should be sold. The egg produc-
ton will not be decreased.

Kerosene and Powdered
Soap to Clean Floors

When oiled or vanished floors must
be washed, they should be washed in
this way: Add a tablespoonful Of
kerosene to every quart Of hot water
used and to every four quarts a table
spoonful of powdered soap. That is
If you mix in a pail four quarts Of hot
water you should add just a table
spoonful Of the powdered soap and
four tablespoonful Of kerosene. Dip
a flannel cloth in this and wiring it in
clear, hot water, wiring dry, rub the
washed surface with this and then
rub it with a dry flannel cloth. This
method Is tedious but it is sur to be
satisfactory.

ARACHNE

I watch her In the corner there.
As restless, bold n unafraid,
She slips and boats along the air
Till all her subtitle house 10 made.
Her home, her bed, her daily food,
All from the hidden store she draws;
She fashions it n knows 1t good,
BY Instincts strong and sacred laws.
No tenuous threads to weave her nest,
h seeks n gathers, there or here;
But spins 1t from her faithful breast,
Renewing still. till leaves are sere.
Then. worn with toll and tired of life,
In vain her shining traps are set,
Her frost hath hushed the insect strife
And gilded flies her charm forget.
Blu swinging in the snares she spun,
She sways to every wintry wind;
Her Joys, her toll, her errand done,
Her course he sport of storms unkind
Poor sister of the spinster clan!
I, too. from out my store within
My daily life and living plan,
My home. my rest, my pleasure spin.
I know thy heart when heartless hands
Sweep all thy hard earned web away;
Destroy its pearied n glittering bands,
And leave thee homeless by the way.
/ know thy peace when all is done,
Each anchored thread, each tiny knot,
Soft shining in the autumn sun;
A sheltered silent tranquil lot.
I know what thou hast never known
Sad presage to a soul allowed
That not for life I spin, alone,
But day by day I spin my shroud.

THIS JUDGE DOUBTS
REALITY OF RED MENACE
More Than 80 Per Cent Of Pro.
German Plots Had No Basic
in Fact, Says He.

BOSTON.-Judge G. W. Ander-
son of the United tSates district
court told the Harvard Liberia. club
Monday that in his opinion more
than 80 per cent of the pro-German
plots never existed" and that he
doubted whether the red menace
has more basis in fact than the
pro-German peril"
There are reds, probably dan
gerous reds he said, but they are
not half as dangerous as the pratt
ing pseudo-patriots who, under the
guise of Americanism, are preach
Ing murder and shooting at sun
rise and to whom our churches,
parlors and public forums hither-
to have been open.
MANY, perhaps most, of the agi-
tatOrs for the suppression of the
so-called red menace are, l OBJ
serve, the same individuals or class
of persons who, in 1917 and 1918,
were frightening the community
about the pro-German plots. AS
United States district attorney I
was charged with a large RESPONSE
bility as to protecting the commur-
ity from pro-German plots. / as
sert as my best judgment that
more than 80 per cent of the pro-
German plots never existed"

United States of cancellation OF that

Russia since before the fall Of the
imperial government, will leave

Major General William S. Graves,
will follow az soon as transports are
available. The same ships which are
to take the Czecho-Slovaks across
the Pacific presumably will be used.
Two of these vessels, the President
Grant and the America, are expected
to leave New York in a few days.
With the departure of the Ameri.

The Storm Of the World Unrest
From the Christian Science Monitor

One of the most curious delusions of the human mind is the claim,
put forward for it by one of the greatest of English writer's, that it can
ride in the whirlwind and direct the storm. 1t can, it is quite true, create
storms, sometimes in teacups, and sometimes out of them. But the one
thing, in the very necessity of its own inharmony, it cannot do is to con-
troll its own handiwork.
It is this which has brought the new renaissance into being; it is this
which really is riding the whrlwind, and directing the storm of the world
unrest of today; and it is this which is ultimately going to bring order
out of chaos. What, of course, has raised the storm is the power of truth
in dominating the human consciousness to the point when a collision be-
tween the good and the evil became inevitable.
