PARIS, Jan 2J.-The changes of the

The discovery apparently has spe-

LEGEND OF DISCOVERY OF SILK
ISA ROMANCE OF AGE OLD CHINA

feet long. 1t was yellow.

tive and had she lived in these times
and in the United States she would
undoubtedly have been a leader in
some one or more advanced move
ments that have placed women at
least closer to their proper place in
the worlds activities. Not content
with her Interesting discovery she set
about to find some way in which to
utilize the beautiful silken threads.
After weeks of study and experiments
she ordered the ladies of her court
to gather in the garden. There she
demonstrated her crude methods of
gathering and Keeling the silk and
set them all TO work learning TO help
her. Soon she taught them to weave
garments and TO embroider. 1t was
not long before the emperor, who had
shown so little interest in her silk
worms, was presented by the empress
with a ceremonial garment of purest
silk and only a short time later all
members of the court were wearing
silken clothes. of dazzling beauty.
The production of raw silk quickly
became the chief industry of China
and the nation grew rich beyond the
understanding of neighboring coun-
tries which sought vainly for the Sc
cret of silk China held the secret and
monopoly Of export to all parts of
Asia India, Persia and Arabia, for
many centuries The death penalty
was decreed for the crime of sending
or taking the silk worm. its eggs or
the seeds of the white mulberry tree
out OF China.
All went well with the Chinese silk
industry until about $50 b. c. when
prince OF India visited China and
won the love OF a demure Chinese
princess who accompanied him to In
dia, via the elopement and caravan
route, taking hidden in her sandals,
the eggs of silk worms and seeds
of the white mulberry tree. Within
three moons Of the arrival in India
OF the runaway princess, she disap-
peared mysteriously between suns but
IL was too late to save the secret.
She had not only delivered to her
lover the eggs and the seeds but had
taught him all that she had learned
of SILK in the royal palace in China
Alexander the Great learned the Sc
Fcret during a visit to India in 1923

known throughout many parts of Eu-

The Story Goes That An Empress

A woman discovered silk.
And the secret was kept for many
centuries.
Finally a woman told the secret of

Walking one sunny summer morning
in a quaint Chinese garden where the
high, enveloping walls were all but
hidden by a riotous growth of exotic
flowers and the air heavily perfumed
with fragrance, a slim girl or fourteen
battered along slowly with tightly
bound feet to an inviting teak wood
pagoda by the side of miniature

There she rested As she idly
watched a nest of insects and worms
she noticed that while many of them
apparently slept lazil yin the sun, a

pare with the good silks of today in
the beauty of coloring, weave or dur
ability. 1t excelled it only in price.
BY the year 1851 siIken garments
were common in English court circles
although it was not until the close of
the following century that England
took up the silk industry during the
reign Of Edward Ill While France
engaged in the industry in the early
part of the thirteenth century it was
not until almost three hundred years
later that the trade became well es-
tablished there through the efforts of
Henry of Navarro who spent more
than s250,000 of his own funds in ex-
periments
Wherever silk was introduced it de-
pended upon the favor of women who
were it's chief users then as they are
today when it virtually is impossible
for a woman to dress herself without
donning many things into which silk
enters largely in manufacture. Even
! man wears silk from head to foot.
His clothing is sewed with silk.
The economy of silk in many ways
was soon recognized when the supply
became great enough to lower the
price sufficiently to enable others than
royalty and the very wealthy CITIZEN
ry TO buy it.
The United States today leads the
world as the greatest manufacturer
OF silk with the center of the industry
located in Paterson, n. j., although
the first silk mill was built in 1910
in Mansfield. Conn. Raw silk was
produced in America as early as 1881

Gnd Coach Begs
Students to Quit
Hero Worshipping

New York. Oct. 22.-Hugh Full
lcrton says that Coach Heisman OF
the University OF Pennsylvania foot
ball team, has raised a point which
is OF vital importance not only in
foot ball but in every other game
The point upon which he touches is
more important in professional than
in college sport, and more vital in
boxing and in base ball than in other
sports.
Coach Heisman called upon the
student body Of the university to
rally to the team and to refrain from
running it. and making good players
useless by refusing to subject them
to hero worship.
He declares that the worst handi-
cap a loot ball team can have is to
have admirers, and he declared that
the students ought to tar and feather
the fellows who form the habit Of
making gifts to the team. offering
them cigars, wanting to entertain
them and otherwise. leading them
astray from the paths of duty.

Lack of Rivals
Turns Dempsey
To Vaudeville
Champion Starts Long Tour
At Minneapolis Tonight
Only Two Potential
Foes for Him.
By RAY PEARSON.

II isn't very likely that World
Heavyweight Champion Jack pemp.
sey will be seen in ring action until
the hot days OF next saminer. Fret
ting under the failure of promoters
to lind a real opponent ior him.
Dempsey has signed up ior a long
tour in yaudeville.t II will take him
to all parts OF the country and keep
him busy until the next heated sea-
sou,
The champion starts his tour at
Minneapolis tonight, and despite the
fact that he will fatten the bank role
TO a material extent. lie does not
look on the stage work as happy
existence. Even before Dempsey
became champion OF the world he
told the writer that theatrical work
wasn't his line. and that he doesn't
like performing on the stage.
Few Disposed to Enter Ring.
But Dempsey has learned since
becoming the titlcholder that the
fighting game isn't a lie OF continu-
Gus joy. ii he could fight when
ever he wanted TO don the padded
mitts he would be perfectly satisfied,
but Jack happens TO find il hard
proposition getting men to quarrel
with him in the ring with the result
he is spending the coin he gathered
in other battles instead Of adding to
his bank roll. That accounts for
the fact that when the agent for a
vaudeville circuit approached him
and offered inducements for Jack to
make tour he accepted. With no
fights in sight that was the next best
thing for him to do.
Dempsey finds himself up against
it, because there are just two men
in the world who seem to be logical
contenders for the title. One Of these
is Tom Gibbons OF st. Paul, brother
OF Phantom Mike, and the other is
the big Jess Willard, who seems de-
termined to come back" in al effort
10 square accounts with Dempsey
and regain the title.
Gibbons Better Than Jess.
Those who follow boxing seem in
clined to the belief that Tom Glib
bons has the best chance to give the.
champion real battle. But giving
a man real battle doesn't mean
licking him or taking the title away
from him. Gibbons and his man .
ager, Eddie Kane, seem to be about
the only persons who think that Tom
has chance of beating Dempsey
for the title. Gibbons might make
Jack gallop at his best for a few
rounds, but sooner or later the power
in Dempsey's punches and his adj
vantage in weight would tell the
story, just as it told in the recent
Dempsey-Carpentier bout. 80
There are few people who are
trying to egg Dempsey into scrap
with Harry Wills, the, negro cham- j,
pion. That bout never will take
place, according TO our notion, for
Dempsey has stated he won't meet
Wills, and there isn't a promoter in
the country who would offer purse
for the mixed contest.

which has been talked over more
than once lately. The matter has
not been approached so far, but
there are many who believe that it
will not be long before this will be
necessary, The increasing interest
in the game and the large crowds
which have been attracted by the
t:tular matches have brought about
this situation.
From a game which for years was
INDUCED in only by the wealthy,
golf has come to be one of the ma
jor popular sports. In cities where
there are public courts the number
playing rivals to a certain extent
those active in base ball.
But it does not stop there. After
summer or two devoted to play

a flock of ducks is circling around

little chummy duck chatter into it.
That is all that is necessary.

Superior Team Has
Streak Of Bad Luck

Superior, Neb., Oct. 22.-The SUI
perior high team seems to have. had
bad luck from the beginning OF the
season, in regard to the playing Of
same men in each game. Every
game, although they have not been
beaten, has seen an entirely new line
up for Superior.
Last week, against Hebron, Quar-
terback Oliver was on the side lines
so that he might be in condition for
the Geneva game, but he was forced
into the lineup because of the punch
that Superior lacked with him out.
During his few minutes in the line
up, he was severely injured, being
carried eff the field. 1t is doubtful
whether he will be seen in the line.

Coach Copenhaver shifted guard,

forth a winning aggregation against

Wetzel, star center for the team,

on defense and offense. Wetzcl has
cutplayed and outclassed any OF the
opposing centers that the Superior
team has met. He is making q
strong bid for all state center this

The tabulation OF interlcague
games for this period includes all
post-season series. but does not in-
elude any spring series or cNhibi'

the fall the rival clubs use their full
strength. while in the spring or on
training trips the rookie proposition
is considerable factor. !
In the l8 worlds series that have
been played since peace VA. de-
clared in 1908. the American league

the National league has won seven,
including the triumph OF the Giants

All except three Of the National

1914. 1919 and 1921, and in all three
there was a conspicuous upset in the
dope. The four straight victories OF
the Braves over the Athletics in 1914
was attained without !. breath of sus-
picion. but everybody is familiar
with the scandal OF 1919.
No hint OF suspicion attaches to
the series just finished between the

The ease with which the White

were in the same position in their
league races, would indicate a supe-
rior strength in the American league,
according to all authorities. The
Yankees, according to the same au-
thorities, would have won the worlds
championship had they been blessed
with a leader OF the caliber of Kid
Gleason or Iris Speaker. 1t was an
open secret all season that the Rup-
