Harding Greets Miss German
Before Crowd of 10000

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. IL
Little Miss Margaret German, the
Miss Washington" of the great At
lantic City fall pageant, had the
crowning glory of her seashore visit
when President Warren G. Hard
ing held her hand and informed
her of his belief that she well de-
served the tremendous honors
which have been heaped upon her
while she was at the shore.
Mrs. Harding presented Miss
Washington" with a flower. her only
comment being that she believed
even the fine pictures printed in
The Washington Herald had not
done the little beauty justice.
Miss German was presented to
the Presiden and Mrs. Harding by
Howard Chandler Christy. artist OF
international fame and head Of the
committee which gave Miss Wash
ington" the Arnold watkins beauty
urn. the Alamac Vase and the Col
den Mermaid. most important
trophy of the entire pageant. While
the reception given Miss Wash
ington" was short, owing to the
length Of the program outlined for
President Harding and because Of
the visit of veterans of the Fifth
Division to whom he spoke, IT was
tremendously cordial and witnessed
by an audience of more than 10000
people gathered on the Boardwalk
and beach.
Flies Over Atlantic City.
Little Miss Washington" started
her final busy day at the seashore
by sailing into the air in a Curtiss
plane just before noon today. She
was accompanied by her father, Mi
chael ]. German. executive clerk
to the Secretary of Agriculture in
Washington, and probably the
proudest father in the United States
today. The trip was made over the
entire resort. giving Miss Wash
ington" a wonderful view of Attain
tic City at its best.
Miss Washington" took her final
dip in the breakers today as the
honored guest of the entire life
guard force. which protects the At
lantfc Oity beach. From the time
she crossed the beach until she left,
she was under the guardianship of
Life Guard Ransford Abbott, who
had secured the honor Of attending
the beauty winner of the entire pa
geant by vote at a meeting of the
guards held this morning. While
she was in the surf Life Guard Alb
bott constantly was at her side and
he stood guard over her on the
beach to ward OF hundreds of Wis
fling bathers who rushed forward
for a word or hand shake from the
little girl, who. with her beauty
and charm, has carried Atlantic City
and the country by storm
Nayor Edward L. Bader. Director
General Thomas p Endicott, Mrs.
Bader, Mrs. Endicott, most of the

Young people Of Washington which
he calls spare Time Education"
Recentiy he. declared: Spare time
schools are beginning to be the real
democratic background of the coun-

people who are receiving this kind
of education are sacrificing and dis
cFplining their desires to gain an
education. knowledge Is costing
them money. and time where they
feel II most. and they are beginning
to realize that education so dearly
bought Is worth something.
He stated further:
with % out OF 100 persons, spare
. time represents the largest share of
their capital. and their future sue
cess depends to a large degree on
how they invest 1t. The average
young man will say the he works
hard during the day and Is entitled
to a good time during the evening.
and his evenings produce debts and
Herhaps other liabilities from
moral and physical standpoint

greater dividends than the best
stocks ever placed on the market
and he still has enough spare time
for exercise, recreation. religious
activities. etc. which are essential

of getting an education because they
cannot complete high school and
college training before taking up

that there was no present industrial
value in the process involved. II was
more or less the product OF chemistry
at play. but a contribution also TO
philosophy in proving the fallacy OF
the old proverb.
In reciting the factors that entered
into the transition OF sows' ears from
Chicago stockyards TO a silk purse
such as a woman might carry, the
chemists explained that the first step
was to analyze the silkworm's method
of making silk This done. its cater
pillar chemistry was copied in the
laboratory.
Ii was found that man had to pro-
vide a substitute for process by
which the silkworm exudes from two
fine ducts in its head minute threads
OF a viscous liquid, coated with an
other secretion, which are cemented
into a double strand. This becomes q
firm filament OF silk when ii coagu-
lates on reaching the air.
Analysis of this viscous liquid
showed il to be like glue and with
somewhat similar chemical proper.

gristle and skin. also has the natural
elements of glue. This was obtained
from the ears and il was put through
several processes of preparation. fiji

sign.
The solution of glue and chemical:
came out as 16 very fine cOlorles:
