BIG SILK INDUSTRY
 ON NECROS ISLAND

MANILA, Dec. 26.- Success for the silk industry on the Island of Negros is predicted by planter there who for 15 years has been profitably pro- ducing the fibre.
 The planter has grove of 40 acres of mulberry trees four to five years old, now, and is raising silk worms at the rate of eight generations 3 year. The silk Is taken from the CO., coon and spun and woven on home made spinning wheels. He expects, however, to organize a corporation shortly to finance the purchase of modern machinery.
 Charles s. Banks, well-known ento- mologist, declares that the Negros silk is superior to that of any other locality.
 It is estimated that the silk output of the district will amount to half a million dollars annually within the next five years.

SELLS M0CCASINS TO
 PAY COLLEGE COST

SYRACUSE, Dec. 26.-He's going through Syracuse University on friv- olous little boudoir moccasins, Is Roll ing Thunder, Mohawk Indian Chief, whose work -a-day name is the less pretent1ous William Newell, Esq.
 Not that the copper-hued student wears the moccasins himself.
 He's not that sort of chap; there's nothing of the finale hopper or the lounge Hazard in Chief Rolling Thur der. Neither, be 1t hastily added. Is he as bloodthirsty and stormy as his Mohawk name would indicate.
 Three years ago the redskin drifted to Syracuse from the St. Regis reser- vation, determined to become phil oaopher. He had at that time just seven "iron men" in his blanket, speaking figuratively again. Five of the seven went for matriculation charges.
 Then the chief hit the long, long trail from Piety Hill, where stands Syracuse, to the town to seek job. He was, he found, just one drop in an ocean of humanity bound for the same objective.
 Coming out of shoe store where he applied for work, the erstwhile knight of the tomahawk saw in the display window rather poorly made pair of moccasins. They gave him a hunch, with the result that the chief has been going through Syracuse on the aborigine's original footgear
 The chief sent back to the reserva- ation for some moocasins of native handiwork and then started to peddle them among the sorority girls. The business has grown by leaps and bounds and will finance the redskins full education.
 Upon his graduation, in 1924, Chief Rolling Thunder plans to discard philosophy for the ministry.

 Dr. Amadeo incidentally expressed high confidence in the results to he achieved by an international con- gress of Social Museums and similar institution which he proposes should be held at Buenos Aires under the auspices of the Museo Social Argen- tino. He voiced the opinion that these institutions should be more ac- tive in international cooperation for the improvement of the conditions of peoples.

IMPRESSED WITH
 GERMAN INDUSTRY
Argentine Investigator Praises
 Work Which Now Exists

Berlin. Nov. 2l,--The rigors of tho coming winter threaten 10 crack tho morale of Germanys working classe, unless the outside world alters it's DO. litical attitude and the mark i'm proves, declared pr. Thomas Amadeo prominent Argentine economist. on the eve of departure from Berlin after q nation- wide study.
 Dr. Amadeo is Argentina's general director of public instruction in agri- culture, professor of rural economy La Plata. and director of the Museo Social Argentine, under the auspices Of which the late Theodore Roosevelt visited Argentina. He resumes his duties as Argentine delegate to the International Agricultural Institute at Rome next month. after spending n short time in France.
 Praises Industry.
 Tn spite of his fears for the eco homie position of Germany in the near future, pr. Amadeo voiced the utmost praise for the industry now prevailing.
 T have the impression" he said, "of having seen an enormous swarm of diligent people led by individuals of unsurpassable competence in all classes and activities. The German people has the spirit of work in its blood and marrow and bone, and for that reason sthe German people will not go under as did the Austrian"
 He called attention. however, to the increasing costs of living and to the serious domestic results of deprecia- tion in the mark, warning that these factors might prove strain too se- were for the workers to stand.
 An economic collapse of Germany. pr. Amadeo was convinced, would mean heavy losses for all countries of North and South America. On the other hand he believed all would profit greatly if the position of Ger many's industry were improved and her trade were a1estored to its normal channels.
 Gern1an-Argentina Relations.
 Regarding German Argentina rela- tions, Dr. Amadeo said he found many Germans wished to go to South America, especially to Argentina, but were unable to pay the costs of the voyage because of the marks low exchange value. They are the sons
