tories which formerly made the stun
to deal death on the west front are
now turning out wondrous artificial
ssllk to adorn womanNnd and man

The artificial silk Industry. already
underway before the war, has been
greatly augmented and is now In a
position TO establish a considerable
competition not alone with the real
silk Industry but with the artificial
silk factories Of other lands.
German experts are striving now TO
overcome the drawbacks attendant
upon the artificial brand or Kun

a deteriorating effect but research
work shows that this disadvantage
will soon be disposed Of.
