PRETTY LEGEND OF SlLKWORM

The head of the silkworm Is strlk-

legend supposed to account for It.
In the olden days, when gods lived
among the people, there was a man
whose prosperity had been changed
TO poverty by the rUvagcs Of a dread

brave and loyal throughout all trials.
In his time of distress the spirited
horse offered himself for the work

when he came to q halt, weary from
unaccustomed labor, the man urged

The horse sprang forward with Joy,
and from that time was more faithful
than ever and the mans fortune grew
better day by day
The daughter was very lovely, and
one day the governor saw her and
asked her in marriage. When the
father proudly consented, he was so
Indignantly upbraided by the horse for

The thunder god rolled and crashed
his whirllng drums, the wind god
loosened his hold on the grcnt bag OF

with roar and tumult and terror. The

Chilean Fruit in America.

An experimental shipment of grapes
was sent to New York with view of
ascertaining whether a market could
be found in the United States for the
product Of the Chilean vineyards. The
grapes were shipped in cold storage
and are reported to have arrived in
excellent condition and to have been
sold at highly satisfactory prices. 1t
is reported that another shipment is
planned as soon as arrangements can
be made. The experiment is of par
ticular interest, since it Is possible that
the expectation Of fresh fruit from
Chile to the United States might be-
come very profitable, providing that
shipping facilities were available.
Chile produces fine fruit of almost
every variety known TO theStemperate
zone and 1t rlpcns during the winter
months in the United States when the
market would be at its best.

KEEP ROADS OPEN IN WINTER
FedshalA Highway Commission aug
essts That Special Efforts Be
Made by State officialA

1t is suggested by the federal high
way council that state and county
highway departments make a special
effort to keep the roads clear Of snow
during the winter months and thus
permit Of uninterrupted traffic, The
transportation Of. certain commodities
Is really more important during the
winter than in summer and 1t Is then
that the. roads are more difficult, to
pass over. Then. too, the rural mail
must be carried whether roads are
good, or bad, and when the snow drifts
several feet deep over the roads the
life of the rural NAH carrier is any
thing but pleasant. As the snow melts
1t transforms many roads into a mlre
that is almost impossible. On any
road. no matter how good. there is A
tendency for the melting snow to soft
en- the subgrade and loosen the base
under the wearing surface, thus caus
ing great damage to the road.
Road officials could do nothing bet
ter than to keep their equipment busy
in the winter removing the snow from
the road surfaces. 1t is one form Of
maintenance work that Is very essen
tiai In ylengthening the life and use
fulness Of the highways. .

furnace, BY varying the materials

advanced by Or. Alexander Graham

tional Geographic society.
sWhy should not congress provide

Of the United States" he asks.

able Information concerning those for
eign elements which are beneficial to
our people and those which are harm
full. $500, i< 4,
THE problem OF, improving a race
Of human beings Is a most perplexing
one TO handle. The process of i'm
provement must be slow where the
forces concerned act from within and
are not amenable to control from with
out. Under. the best conditions 1t
would require several generations to
produce sensible results but In the
United States, we have, in. the new
blood introduced from abroad, an Inn
portant means of improvement that
will act more quickly, and that is emil
nently susceptible to control. All the
nations of the world have been con-
tributing elements to our population 7;
and we have now, and now only the
opportunity Of studying the process Of
absorption before 1t is complete.
THE grand spectacle Is presented
to our eyes Of a new people being
gradually evolved In the United States
by the mingling together Of the differ
ent races of the world In varying pro-
portions. 1t Is of the greatest conse-
quence to, us that the final result
should be the evolution Of a higher
and nobler type of man In America,
and not deterioration of the nation.
ITO this end the process of evolu-
ton should be carefully studied, and
then controlled by suitable immigra-
ton laws tending TO eliminate unde-
sirable clinical elements, and to slim
ulate the admission of elements as
simulated readily by our population.

HOW STEEL is MADE

In the two yearS-since the end of
hostilities In the World war; the coun-'
tries suffering most from the conflict
have been importing steel to the ex-
tent that their finances will permit;
for this substance Is needed to- patch
the industrial injuries inflicted by the
war. Some of the important methods
employed in the making of steel are
described In the Following communi-
cation to the National Geographic
society, by William Joseph Showalter:

President Obregon, who has just

to this diversity Of tongues and the
