SILK PURSE OF SowS' EARS
Will Be Shown at Chemistry EXPOSE
ton in New York Sept IL.

| Cambridge, Mass, Aug. ia sill
purse made from sows' ears, as chem
istry's answer to the old saying thai
it couldn't be done, will be shown al
the chemistry exposition in New York
during the week of Sept, II.
In announcing the successful result
of experiments, Arthur d. Little, Inc.
chemists and engineers, of this city
said the silk was not very strong and
that there was no present industrial
valeu in the process involved. 1t was
more or less the product of chemistry
at play, but 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 sil<worms method
of making silk This done, its caterpil-
lar chemistry was copied in the lab
oratory.
1t 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 viscous liquid, coated with anoth
er secretion, which are cemented into
double strand. This becomes firm
filament of silk when it coagulates on
reaching the air.
Analysis of this viscous liquid
showed it TO be like glue and with
somewhat similar chemical properties.
The sow's ear being chiefly gristle and
skin. also has the natural elements of
glue. This was obtained from the ears
and it was put through several proc
esses of preparation, filtered under
pressure and placed in spinning appa
ratus of a special design.
The solution of glue and chemicals
came out as 10 very fine colorless
streams, Joined into one composite
fibre, treated to give it strength and
color, and processed yet again to OBJ.
tin the desired soft, silky feel The
weaving followed on small hand
loom, the fabric was formed and the
purse made.

Mr.. Edison's Questions.

That the general public should have
missed the point of the Edison tests
was perhaps inevitable; but one ex
poets better things from a Harvard
professor of psychology DR.. Roback
declares that they were merely test
of memory. and of a memory 'for
things which are usless TO mankind
in common" 1t would he more sens
ible, he says, to train a boy in the
use of library of reference books and
then set about testing his brain
power"
The Edison tests we're intended to
measure, not knowledge nor vet men
tai training. but the subjects con
facts with actuality." A mans mind
may be a storehouse of important
facts and an instrument of great
subtlety and power in the Use of those
facts, and yet be wholly of the de-
taehed and scholastic type. What
Mr.. Edison was after was the man of
the seeing eve and the human touch
the man whose being has thousand
antennae brining him news of the
valuable in the foreman and shop
manager making him wildly alive TO
his human and material environment.
To the inventor and technical expert
they are indispensable.
The tests gave Mr.. Edison precise
ly the results he wanted, and he is
continuing to use them. They tell
him which candidates are and which
are not acutely impressionable and
retentive of stimuli from without.
They are new and significant
phenomenon in the way of exsmina
ton, and of precisely the Find that
ought TO interest deeply a professor
of psychology.-New York Times.

Reply To Premier

ALWAYS SCEPTICAL
OF PEACE TALK
British Government Con-
sidered To Be Put in
Bad Way

Belfast, Aug. l5.-Little surprise was
felt here at the tenor of the letter
from Eamonn De Valera to Prime
Minister Lloyd George, rejecting the
governments offer of dominion status
for Ireland, as talk of peace has been
regarded with much scepticism. 1t is
pointed out that should the truce in
southern Ireland be ended the govern

the Sim Fein as belligerents.

this proposal may not come from those
wishing to prolong the truce as long
as possible.
The Irish Times says; "The Dali
Eireann tomorrow will have a unique
opportunity of healing Ireland's many
wounds and of assuring for the Irish
people a great and glorious future. We
hope and pray they will follow General

to settlement would perhaps be much |
easier if Ulster were little more !

fact that Sir James. Craig's Ulster

IMMIGRATION IN JANUARY.
Recommended by Special Committee OF
American Bar.

Cincinnati, o., Aug. l3-Advance OF
the presidential Inauguration from
March to the third Monday in Janu-
airy is recommended by special com.
mittee of the American Bar associa-
ton, which will report to its eonven-
ton opening here Aug. 30.
The committee also advises that the
Congress elected in November meet on
the second Monday of the following
January.
The ground for the proposed change
is that too much time elapses between
election and Inauguration and conven-
ing of Congress.
The report calls attention to a bill
of Senator Ashurst providing for sim
