SILK GOWNS FROM TUBES

In alcohol lies the secret of syn
thetic silk that will take the place
OF the natural product. The depart
ment OF agriculture in cooperation
with certain chemical firms have
evolved commercial near-silk that

thing Not only has the laboratory

original article as spun by the
Asiatic silk worm. but IL is said to be
more durable. and can be produced
at a lower price. At first the chem
ically-manufactured silk proved brit
tie and would not hold together while
being woven into cloth, but expert
ments showed that this difficulty
could be overcome by using alcohol
in the "weathering" The product,
however, is not on the market as yet.

PEACE FORMALLY

Proclamation OF German Pact Drafted

Proclamation OF German Pact Drafted
by state Department
Washington, Nov. 12.--The draft
Of proclamation declaring the Init
ed States at peace has been submit
ted by the state department to Presi-
dent Harding for approval and sigma
ture and its PRONUNCIATION is expect
ed early next week.
This was learned today coincident
with announcement by the state De.
partment Of the exchange &c rG.if;ca-
tione of the treaty of Berlin, effected
yesterday at the German capital.
AllhJ 'I;nion app -rs to Js Ovid
cd somewhat in official circles 10 to
tho uec' ssity for a proclamation by
the "r.s'dent, IL was asserted to-day
that proclamation was considered
necessary to make imperative GER
tain acts of Congress predicated up
on a state OF war, and that II might
be regarded in the nature of an add
ed precaution to insure peace. The
formal exchange of Publications, in
the opinion of State Department Of
ficials, acted per Sc to restore dipio-
matte relations between this country
and Germany. Necessity for an ad-
dltional treaty more clearly setting
forth the trade relations of the two
countries was predicted by officials
of the department. but it was said
that any steps in that direction would
be left to Germany to inaugurate.
II was said that this country would
be receptive toward any proposals
Germany might make with a view Of
replacing the commercial treaty of
1919 with Prussia. That treaty was
strapped with Americas entry into
the World War, but IL was believed
that new commercial treaty would
have been signed in any event. due
to friction under that pact, which had
become more embarrassing with the
years, 1t was declared. however that
Germany must originate action for
any additional treaties and that this
country would be content to rest on
the present relations unless there was
substantial demand from American
business interests for greater protec-
ton than the present treaty afford.

l. c. PAYS BIG SUM
FOR STOCK KILLED

The Illinois Central System paid
out $2O5,623.31 during 1920 in the
settlement of claims for stock which
had been killed upon its right of
way. That the situation is improv-
ing this year is indicated in the an
nouncement that settlements of stock
claims during the first eight months
of 1921 took s10S,024.29 from the
Illinois Centrals treasury, as compar-
ed with s142.57S.96 during the first
eight months of 1920 and that 2,40O
head of stock were struck by Illinois
Central System trains during the
eight-month period this year, as
compared with 3.041 in the correc-
ponding eight months of 1920. In
considering these figures, however, IL
should be borne in mind that the
claim payments represent only por-
ton of the cost OF handling TIA
claims. The actual burden upon the
patrons whose passenger fares and
freight. charges constitute its reve-
nues is much greater.
The railroad is making every eff
fort to reduce this toll upon expenses
urging employees to exercise every
precaution to prevent striking stock.
With the season of the year at hand
when crops have been harvested and
Southern stock is ordinarily turned
out to Craze. the railroad makes a
plea for keeping stock up, and. gates
to pasture lands closed, to assist in
the reduction of the cost which the
public must pay for operating the
railroad.
The situation is at its worst In the
Southern territory traversed bv the
lines of the Illinois Central System.
The following is the record OF stock
claim payments made during the
first eight months of 1921 in the
