AMERICAN BUYERS ! WARN SILK MAKERS
Withholding of 30 Per Cent. of
 Product Harmful to Industry

Yokohama, Japan. Oct, 13-Japan- ese raw silk manufacturers who re- gently decided to withhold thirty per cent of their output from the Yoko- hama market have been warned by American buyers that this artificial stimulation of the trade might lead to It's ruin. A paper prepared by MT. c. F. Douty, general manager of the United States Testing company and read at meeting of sericulturists and reelers explained how this ruin might be brought about by the use of sub stitutes unless the Japanese could bring down prices by the means of labor saving devices.
 Explaining that the imports to and production in the United States of artificial silks had increased nearly skiold in nine years and that more factories were being built he declared that prices must decline. He added
 Artificial Prices.
 "The filature men of Japan cannot more effectively play their industry into the hands of their rivals, than | by devoting their energies, skill and business sagacity to the artificial maintenance of prices either by re- stricti.g the supply of raw silk be- low the normal demand or by es- tablishing a fixed minimum price for export as was done in 1920. The fact that the New York market be- gins to hesitate at above 2,oO0 yen should be evidence that the American manufacturer cannot longer make and sell silk goods to the American public at prices based upon raw silk above that figure. He could in 1919l and 1920 when the prices of finished goods continued to rise.
 Market Condition.
 'The action of the market in re- cent months would seem to indicate that with a uniform stable market between 1.S00 yen and 2,oOO yen the American manufacturer can do a fair business and above that he cannot meet competition with other fabrics. l In cotton, artificial silk, and mercer ized cotton, the cost of raw material l constitutes from 1 6 to 30 per cent of l the entire cost of the finished fabric | In silk, it Is approximately 50 per cent of the cost of the finished fab | rics. This causes the silk manufac- l turer to be more sensitive to fluctua- tions in the raw material than other | classes of textiles"

"BRAWN OF THE NORTH" AT
GRAND THEATRE TONIGHT

Strongheart, the wonderful police
dog who sprang into such prominence
as a motion picture star in "The
Silent Call" has made another mo-
ton picture which is coming to the
Grand theatre for an engagement Of
two days beginning next Saturday,.
It is Lawrence Trimble-Jane Muir
fin production entitled, "Brawn Of
the North," a First National attrac-
ton.
The story is most unusual from the
standpoint ,of, thrilling action and of
tense emotional scenes. 1t is story
of a dogs faithfulness and loyalty
to. his mistress, loyalty that sur
mounts all natural instincts.
Irene Rich and Lady Silver, a lady
wolf compete evenly for the lead
ing feminine honors, although Evan
geline Bryant is just about the cut
est baby who has yet found her way
into pictures and Jean Metcalfe gives
a superb portrayal of the thankless
role of a missionary's wife. Lee
Shummway, Joe Barrel and Roger
Manning handle the male roles satis-
factorily and each one of them per-
forms stunts that would make the
ordinary actor balk.

SAYS WHITE SLAVERY
THRIVES IN GERMANY
lBY Gus NJ. Oehml

(Cnlted Press Staff Correspondent
Berlin, Nov. .25-German white
slavers have sent thousands Of girls
and young women into foreign lands,
especially North and South America,
according to the Centrale for the
Suppression of White Slavery in Ger
many.
Press reports allege that 3,70O
girls in six months were victims of
white slaves, who sold them into for
eign lands.
In Hamburg, where the traffic is
said to center, police deny any know
ledge of this traffic. Berlin authori-
ties also declare to the United Press
that they have no knowledge of any
illegal commercialization Of Ger
many's womanhood. ,
Alarmists point out that Germany
has surplus Of approximately T.
100000 women, most Of whom are
thrown upon their own resources.
These 100000 and others subject
to temptation Of the traffickers
must be protected, they say.
A formal warning has been issued
by the Centrale for Suppression Of
White Slavery which declares:
"The traffic in women thrivcs.
The spread of the organized traffic
is most alarming. In Hamburg, for
instance, report reach US of the dis
appearance Of great numbers of
young girls mostly between the ages
of thirteen and fifteen. They are,
according to the police investigation,
dragged away to North and South
America. Six girls in Barrel Golden
burg) were recently engaged for po-
sitions in Holland. The inquiry OF
the mother of one of these girls
showed that she was to be spirited

It was a quiet portion Of the day IL

Woman Who Saw was rather glad the

gave her time to rest and catch the

pursuing beauty with cold cream jars

wrong with their compilations.

Moscow, Nov. 25-The finance de-
partment is preparing a nice Christ
mas present for Russia's population
the new tax-bouquet.
Today Russia has no so-called in
come tax. This is being prepared
now, besides fortune tax. Both will
be progressive and run up to max
imum taxation of fifty per cent.
The total amount Of taxes collect
ed by the State and Communities
from January l, 1922, until October
Is, 1922, was twenty billion rubles
of the 1922 issue, or two hundred
trillions of the old issues.
Of all the taxes the so-called local
taxes are the most interesting. If a
man wants to open a new shop, he
first has to pay lump sum for the
license which varies according to the
district where the shop is being To-
Gated. In addition to this he has tc
pay an annual fee which also differs
according to the district and number
of square meters his shop covers
Twenty per cent OF the rent goes tc
the State or the city.
No shopkeeper or other business
man is compelled to keep books
Once every quarter. an inspector
suddenly enters the shop. The in
spector stays the. whole day and sees
that the whole money taken in that
day is being counted. The days re.
turns will be taken as the average
for the whole quarter. If he has hae

because no argument that the Other

BURNING. SANDS, AT THE
ELkO THEATRE SUNDAY

A tremendous set, representing
a street in Cairo, is shown in George
Melford's splendid production Of
Burning Sands" Though nearly a
half mile long, it would not be re-
markable except for the fact that its
full extent is used in night scenes
which involves the intensive use Of
most. of the sun-arc lamps Of the
Paramount studio, as well as extra
motor-generator sets above the three
owned by the studio.
The "night-lighting" Of such an
area entails a great expenditure of
power, but it's full effect is strikingly
seen in this Paramount picture,
which comes to the Elko theatre next
Sunday and which features Wanda
Hawley and Milton Sills.

:|URE, KEEPS HER SECRET
Chemists Have Never Been Able 70
satisfactorily Determine tho Com
,~,, 4, position Of Woad. ~ -.

Woad, with which the ancient Brit
ons used to stain themselves, is grown
In that part of Lincolnshire, England:
which abounds with dykes and wind
mills, and along the borders Of Cam
bridgeshire. If allowed to 60 to seed
the woad weed often grows to three
and four feet in height and has pret.
ty yellow flower.
The first crop Of tender green shoots
Is picked in July or August, and during
the harvest men and women are to be
seen creeping along the fields on their
hands and knees all day long.
The shoots are put into large wick
er baskets and sent to a factory, 4
which there are three or four in that
part of the country. When they arrive
they are squashed into pulp and al
lowed to ferment. Later they are made
into balls and dried.
These balls remain drying for sew
eral weeks and are then broken into
pieces and stirred for lengthy period.
Eventually they produce coarse, pow
derlike substance, deep blue in color.
Lastly the powder is damped, stored
in watts and sold to dyers and manu-
facturers Of woolens and other articles
Of apparel.
The enduring blue of the police
mans uniform is obtained from woad.
and, though it is an expensive dye at
the outset, it is the cheapest In the
long run.
Chemists have tried hard to fathom
this secret Of nature, but without suc-
cess and it is doubtful if the industry
would continue to exist but for the Of
fetal desire to procure uniforms that
are durable and Of fast color.

UNDERWOOD SPEAKS IN
 DEFENSE FORMER ALIEN PROPERTY CUSTODIANS

WASHINGTON, July 24. - Senator Oscar Underwood, Democrat, of Ala bama, in a speech in the Senate this morning, defended the Chemical Foun- dation, Inc, and it's president, Francis P. Garvan, former Alien Property Gus todian under President Wilson, against the charges made against the com pany and it's officers in connection with the purchase of certain German patents while Garvan was an officer of the government. Charges of conspir- acy have been made against Garvan and other attorneys in the Alien Prop erty Custodians office based on the purchase of German copyrights and patents alleged to be worth five mil lion for only quarter of million. Underwood characterized Garvan as a fine type of public servant, and as a man for whom it would be impossible to be guilty of the crime alleged. He also eulogized A. Palmer Mitchell. the first Alien Property Custodian, and former attorney general. Underwood declared that the present charges were inspired by German interests de- sirous of regaining their former com manding position in certain lines of American industry.

SHIPPERS HOLD MEETING

DELTA, Colo, July 24.-A meeting of shippers was held here yesterday as a result of which every member of Colorado's congressional delegation was wired to use his utmost influ- ence to have the government use every effort to bring the rail strike to an end. The message stated that financial ruin was staring the fruit growers of the Western Slope Dis trict of this state in the face unless freight cars and transportation equip ment was immediately secured to move their crop of perishables. The wire went on to suggest that if all other means to end the strike failed that the present emergency justified the government taking over the roads and adjusting all details both as to labor conditions and management.
