Chinese SILK in America.

The American demand for silk in
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
Japanese silks had been in favor for
a long time with the manufacturers
of this country but it was well I'M
derstood that the quality of the Chi
nese was superior, hut it was not
adapted for use in this country be-
cause OF the manner in which 1t was
woven An American manufactures
secured a moving picture reel show
ing the japanese methods of manu-
facture, and as a result the China
men were induced to change theirs to
a system to conform with the demands
of the occidental. customers, and the
industry has accordingly taken great
jump.

Her COLLECTION Of Bargains.

There had been a war wedding ant
now Mr.. Juggins was busy earning
something to foot the bills with. SO
he handed all his savings over TO his
wife with the remark:
Look here, Hilda, my dear, you go
shopping and get home together.
New stuff is very dear, but you'll man
age all right if you 80 to sales and
things. You're a good bargain hunt
err"
She was. But he had forgotten that
to the real huntress of bargains low
ness of price appeals rather than util-
ity Otherwise he wouldn't have beea
so surprised at the results.
In the kitchen they have filing
cabinet, three chairs, more or less
whole, and an old desk. The dining
room isn't bad, only the chairs don't
match, and the dining table is one
leg short. In the bedroom there are
beds, of course, and in addition a col
lapsible boat, patent pillow, several
assorted German helmets and other
souvenirs, two stepladders, a zinc bath
and only one hole in it, and a folding
settee which won't unfold.

Conducted Prayer Meeting

In the absence OF the pastor. Rev,
Fl, W Burgan, D. D.. who has SUI
ferod a recent bereavement by the
death Of his mother, the prayermeet-
ing on Wednesday evening at the
First Methodist Episcopal Church
was conducted by Instructor Paul Z.
Hemke, of the Naval Academy
Prof Hemke took for his subject
sabbath Observance, and invited
those present to express an opinion.
The meeting. which was well attend
ed, was a very interesting one.
on the previous Wednesday even
ing me mid-week prayer service was
conducted by Joseph Armstrong, who
gave a most interesting talk on the
theme God and one from the story
OF Gideon. The address was very
helpful and instructive.

ResourcefuI Prevaricator.

A Lancashire man. who was afraid
of his wife. arranged to 60 to the races
with some friends. and explained TO
her that he was going fishing. On his
way he called at a fish shop and asked
the proprietor to send some fish home.
Fish was very scarce that day. and a
lot Of Gods heads were delivered. When
hubby returned home, after an enjoy
able time, he said TO his wife:
.Wen, lass, did you get the fish l
sent you:"
81 got lot of Gods heads" was her
reply.
Quite right" was the retort. You
never saw such fish in your life as we
had to tackle today. Before you could
land 'em, you had to pull their bloom
ing heads of T'-London Answers.

FALL IN EUR0PE's POPULATION
Estimated Loss Through Years of War
VIII Reach Total of Thirty-Five
Million People.

According to a report made by the
Society for the Study of the Social
Consequences of the War, which has
its headquarters ut Copenhagen, be-
tween the outbreak Of that conflict and
the middle of 1919 Europe lost about
35,000,000 people. OF this deficit in
what would have been the normal pop,
ulation of the continent at the latter
date 20000,000 are accounted for by
the decline In the birth rate and 49,
100000 by Increased mortality incluo
ing nearly 100000 killed in battle.
The surplus of the female sex ia
Europe has nearly tripled, rising froG1
slightly more than 5o0o000 to 15,0o0--
600 Russia and Poland suffered total
losses OF 100000; Germany and Aus
tria together slightly less than that
number: France comes next with ali
estimated loss Of 100000; Italy fol-
lows with 2,2S0,000; Great Britain ana
Ireland lost about 1,1S5,o00, and little
Serbia, including war casualties, APP

Perfumed petrol.

VIII motorcars in the future per-
fume our streets with the scent of at
tar of roses instead of the eyil-smell-
ing mixture which ofrends our nostrils
as they pass?
The question is suggested by the
statement that a quarter of million
gallons of motor spirit can be produced
in the Hyderahad state of India by
,listilIjng the flowers of the mowra
tree.
Mowra flowers ere very rich in su-
gar. and ton ofWSle dried flowers
produces as much as 90 gallons of 80
p,s, cent pure spirit. They have long
been in use for the preparation of a
native alcoholic liquor; but only a
small proportion of the trees available
is needed for this purpose.

FIRST TO NOMINATE
LIBERTY TREE FOR
HALL OF FAME


At one time the life of this tree
was very seriously threatened by de-
cay. There was a very large hollow
in its trunks. but the decay WIS a.
rested in rather unusual manner.
4 number OF boys. thinking they
would have some fun, exploded two
pounds of powder in the dry r0tting
hollow of the tree.
One might think that this explo-
sion would have injured the tree, the
fire, following the explosion, saved il
by burning out the decaying portions
of the tree
According TO a tradition, the treaty
with the Susquehannocks was made
under this poplar in 1859 In the
shade of this tree the citizens OF An
napolis gathered frequently in colon
ial times And in 1924. Lafayette was
entertained beneath its branches.
1T stands on the campus of col
Iege founded in 1884, and named King
William School"
Following this article in the Ameri-
can Forestry. written 6y Mrs Burgan,
the editor says:
Jessie Croft Garrison finds many
references TO the tree in the old Mary
land Gazette, and informs US that the
Daughters of tho American Revolution
placed this inscription on the tree:
This tablet placed upon the
Liberty Tree by the Peggy Stew

OF the American Revolution, of
Annapolis, Maryland, October 10,
1907 TO commemorate the FIRST
treaty made here wi1h he Susaue-
hannocks in 1862, ald that George
Washington. in 1871, and General
Lafayette, III 1924, visited St.
Johns College.
Through the muniticence of

over 600 years old, has been pre-
served from decay"

DIFFUsING LIGHT IN ASIA
Christian Missionaries Firmly Behind
independence Movs, Though Not
Directly Responsible for It

No picture OF the independence move
nlent or of Korean life in any aspect
is adequate that does not include the
church as one OF its high lights. Oh
serves Nathaniel PETER in Scribner'S
Now. even the japanese have with
drawn the charge that the movement
Is exclusively Christian and that il was
instigated by American missionaries
for American political purposes. But
il is true that the Korean Christians
are a unit in its support, that the ma
jority of its leaders are Christian, and
that the originating impulse is largely
Christian.
And that is only natural: First. he
cause the Christians are the most intlu-
entail class in Korea. and. second, be-
cause conversion to the church neces-
sarily means contact with Western
ideas and Western thought. And those
necessarily means the development of
a spirit that cannot and will not en-
dure subsection to the iron military
rule of an alien conqueror.
In that sense Christianity is response
bic for the unrest in Korea and in that
sense the Christian church is the
enemy the Japanese have TO fight. And
that will be increasingly true rs time
goes on. for Christianity is making
rapid strides in Korea, the more rapid
for the part the Christians have played
in the rebellion.

"Rent Free" Houses.

At Llewelyn, Pa, there are go empty
houses, which for years have stood IN
tenanted. a veritable deserted village
in the beautiful valley of the West
Branch of Chester creek. Even the
war with its demands, failed to repeo-
ple the town. About a month ago some
of the houses were rented and jitney
line was established between the town
and Chester. Still there remained 90
houses that were fast going into decay
by reason Of not being occupied. The
owners conceived the idea of having
the properties fixed up by giving them
rent free to workmen who would repair
them and take care of them. The only
siipulations made in selecting tenants
are that they be respectable and thrift
ty people who viii take pride in main
tanning and improving the houses ana
that they agree to make all repairs at
their own expense.

TO PRISON FOR WlTcHCRAFT
Canadian Authorities Revive Ancient
Statute That Will Appear Absurd to
Modern Understanding.

II has been a little more than 100
years since anyone was convicted OF
wltchcraft on this continent, says the
Columbus Dispatch. and we supposed
that there would never again be any
more convictions. But it seems that
such prosecutions have been revived,
for here comes a report from a Cana
dian court TO the effect that q young
woman over there has lately been sem
fenced to prison for ''practicing witch
craft" for all the world like the ac-
cusations that used TO be filed against
people in this country.
The young woman in this case
claimed TO be able to tell who commit
ted a certain theft In her neighborhood.
She said a farmers oats had been
stolen by a man and a boy; that they
drove bay mare, and proceeded west
ward after the robbery, and that they
would be found at a certain place
about 40 miles away. The officers
found her story to be true, and ar
rested the parties who robbed the
farmer, but as the young woman who
gave the information was in no po-
sitlon TO know the facts she related
except through communlng with 1.-THE
spirits" people began talking about
her being a witch. with the result that
an ancient statute was invoked and
the girl prosecuted and sent to jail
for her pains in aiding the officers of
the law. If it were not all duly record
ed in the newspapers we could not be-
lieye il.

RED CROSS SERVANT
OF MORE THAN $4,000

Through its Chapters and Branches,
the American Red Cross is now the
servant, in one way or another, of
more than fifteen thousand communi-
ties. In each place in which the
Red Cross is active it has undertaken
the service which the Chapter at the
morucnt considered would meet the
most acute need, including, of course,
Home Service to the families of sol
diers and sailors and to disabled ex-
service men. The Red Cross does
not assume 10 cover the entire field,
for there is more to be done than
all the leaders and all the organi-
cations can possibly accomplish. 1t
believes that the whole community
should study ali its outstanding needs,
ana assign definite tasks to the Red
Cross Chapter and other agencies, all
of which must work together to de-
velop the organized good will of its
citizens.
Aside from the important national
services which the Red Cross rend-
ers as the trustee of the American
people, foreign relief, service to the
army and navy, recruiting and sup
plying OF nurses for federal hospi-
tails and the army and navy, disaster
relief and the foreign language in
formation service il may cover a va
riety OF local activities along the
lines of health and social problems.
The activities include Home Sery-
ice for ex-seryice men, with extern
sion of this work under certain con-
ditions to families in general; the
developing of health centers; organ
ling Of the Junior Red Gross; the
maintaining Of efficient disaster pre-
paredness committees; carrying on
production and emergency service,
and the promotion Of the nursing
service.
The entire tone and spirit Of some
communities have been changed by
The service which ali united in rem
dering to soldiers and their families
during the war. Personal desires and
petty differences were forgotten ir
Red Cross work.
During the war the Red Cross sup
plemented the work Of our national
and local authorities anu furnished
the means by which the benevolent
spirit of the American people could
efficiently express itself IN demo-
cratic manner. The Red Cross was
the American people: it must con-
tinue TO be. And il Red Cross sery-
ice is 10 endure ii must always be
the democratic expression Of the
spirit Of the American people in each
community.
Outlines Of the different forms Of
service which are being undertaken
by the American Red Cross in the
Chapters and Branches throughout
the country, wiz lie published as q
series Of articles in this paper
