This sect was founded about 1912 by

the tribe. They had been politically
hostile TO the French and Italians. bur
friendly TO the English. However,
when the Allies expedition to the OAR

over-running Egypt was opened to the
Senussi. they started to drive out the
English from the Delta country. After
several skirmishes. they were finally
repulsed at Marsa Matruh, $50 miles

supplies cut of, they were reduced to
restitution, but the English fed theil

be found on the whole wrinkled coast
Of China.
Sugar is also one Of Swallows chief
products and the British and Ameri-
can consulates are situated near the
main refinery on Kskchioh. Hong
kong, however, is wiLning away the
sugar trade from Swasow, which was
once the center of sugar production.
The fields inland FROM Swatow pro-
duce huge crops Of sugar cane, and
the Mandarin oranges of the region
are famed throughout the East.
swatow's Location Invites DIsater.
One Of the important ports that hide
here and there along the very irregu-
lar coast line of China, Swallows mis-
fortune is that of being less protected
from the sea than her neighbors to the
north and south. Shanghai is several
miles up the Woosung. Hangchow, the
city Of the famous tidal wave or bore,
which resembles the o1e in the Bay
of Fundy, is far enough from the sea
to escape the force Of the storm.
One ascends for miIeA between low
lying banks, dotted wita icehouses for
preserving fish before coming to Ming
pc. Foochow Is several hours run
up the Min. Annoy Is situated very
much like Swatow, but lies on much
higher ground. Hongkong is on the
landward side of the island of Vic
toria and the safety CT its harbor is as
famous as its beauty.
Swatow owes it's existence to the
Han Kiang, whose muddy waters built
up the low plain on which small fish,
ing village grew to a Treaty port of
considerable Importance And 1t is
upon the low-lying allugial plain on
both banks of the Han shat the port
depends for its importance.
From August to October. the ty-
phoons sweep up the Ceinese coast,
and opposite Swatow the bills of south
ern Formosa form a funnel whose
force is most felt along the l0w-lying
coast In which Swatow squats. So po-
tent are the winds that many Of tie
missionary buildings are hid among
the low hills of Kakchioh, across the
tempestuous roadstead from Swatow
proper.
To the tourist Swatow Is an unin-
teresting city. 1t has only one good
road, that the newly macadamized
Malo or great road, which more or less
parallels the wharves- from the large
piers Of the ocean-going vessels to the
tiny hayens to which the 1shing boats
and up-rivef junks repair.

ELASTIC AT THE WAIsTLINE
Wearers Of Garments to Have Liberty

all frocks would have elastic run in
so that the individual woman could
determine the all important question
of where her waist line should be,
according to her own fancy and her
figure. Generally speaking, there Is a
trend toward the normal waist line,
but women have long declined to sub

chances are no one style viii pre-

HOW TO DARN THE STOCKINGS
Hair and Rawlings Drawn From Old
Hose Best to Use in Max
ing Repairs.

Darning wool is so different In quail
ity from the silk used in silk stockings
that 1t shows clearly when it is used
to darn stockings. For the same rea-
son silk thread will not do. The best
things to use, writes a correspondent,
are hair and ravelings drawn from an
old silk stocking. The longest ravel-
ing that can be drawn from the woof Of
a stocking is only eight or nine inches
long, so If there is much work to do
you will probably have to rethread
the needle good many times.
If the run Is in the leg of the stock
ing, place 1t over piece Of glazed pa
per or rather thin cardboard. When
you darn hold the section liz place
without stretching or pulling It; or
tack 1t In place without stretching or
pulling it; or tack it In place with
few stitches. If the run is in the foot,
use darning egg.
To darn narrow run turn the stock
ing wrong side out, thread a fine, long
needle with a suitable raveling, mols-
ten your fingers, pass them along the
rayeling to straighten 1t and then
catch up all the several loops before
they can ravel further. Then put in
the number of warp threads that are
missing; If necessary use one or two ex:
ira ones so as to cover the space well.
Make the rows straight and keep the
spaces even. When you have put In
all the warp threads turn the stocking
right side out and thread the needle
again. This time use a hair, with the
end passed through the eye of a
needle. Darn in the woof threads and
run the woof darning half an inch
above and half an inch below the edges
of the run. Since the hair will break
If 1t is drawn too tight and the ravel.
ing will shrink, anyway, leave both of
them loose at the turnings, but draw
them smooth everywhere else.
When one missing warp thread has
formed a run turn the stocking wrong
side out, place the edges of the run
together and join them with a row of
machine stitching. This will take up
the broken part. Then turn the stock.

MAKING LEATHER
ON SMALL SCALE
There Are Times When Farmer
Finds II Profitable TO Do
His Own Tanning.
DETAILED DIRECTIONS GIVEN
Suggestions as to Usual Practices,
Rates and Methods Of Payment Are
Made In Circular Of Department
Of Agriculture.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Tanneries are equipped to make all
the leather the country needs and can
make better leather more economically
than the farmer can, but there are
times when the producer of hides finds
that the margin between the price paid
for the raw material and the price
asked for finished leather is so great
The Semi-weekly leader., 1922-09-13

that he determines to do his own tan
ming. For example in certain large
sections of the country farmer can
hardly give away the hides he has,
yet leather In small pieces costs him
from. 81 to $1.50 a pound. To help
him in such emergencies the United
States Department of Agriculture has
just issued Department Circular 23O,
Home Tanning, which gives detailed
directions for making leather for vari-
GUS purposes.
Best Way Of Handling.
With the issuance of this publica-
tlon the department now has for dis
tribution, information on the handling
Of hides from the skinning of the
animal to the care of the leather in
the finished article, such as harness,
belts, boots and shoes. Farmers
Bulletin 1855, Country Hides, and
Skins: Skinning, Curing and Market
ing, recently revised and reprinted for
the third time, tells how to perform
these operations in the most efficient
manner. In FaEmers' Bulletin 1888,
The Care of Leather, also recently
revised and reprinted, are directions
for making leather last longer. Any,
or all, of these bulletins, including
the new circular, may be obtained
free by writing to the Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. @.
Suggestions as to Rates.
In the circular just issued the farmer
who wishes to do tanning on a small
scale may find explicit directions for
making bark-tanned sole aud harness
leather, chrome-tanned leather, and
alum-tanned lace leather. But in case
he wishes to have the tanning done
for him he will find suggestions as to
the usual practices, rates, and meth
DDS of payment. 1t is the custom
among some tanners who do work for
farmers having only few hides to
tan a hide for half the leather. That
Is, the farmer sends in hide and gets
back one-half of 1t made into leather,
usually paying the shipping charges
both ways.
A list Of tanneries that will tan one
or more hides for farmers may be
obtained from the bureau of chemistry,
United States Department Of Agri-
culture, Washington, D. @.
When high prices are charged for
leather in small quantities 1t is usually
possible to buy at a comparatively
low price by taking more at time. If
a side of leather is bought, instead
of couple Of pounds at time says
the circular, 1t is often possible to
buy it at only 10 to 20 per cent above
wholesale prices.
