 ARK BRINGS JUNGLE FREAKS
the New York World.

From the New York World.
 The Dromore Castle, from Cape Town, Noah's Ark up-to-date, tied up at Pier 38 Atlantic basin, with the strangest cargo ever brought to this country at one time. From the jungle lands, where birds and beasts fit about as freely as fapper on Broadway, came a- most every representative that amounts to any thing.
 There were about 300 wild animals, more than 5000 birds, including a bullfinch which whistled as the boat was being made fast, "How Dry I Am," "When You Were Sweet Sixteen and other ballads.
 There also were registered among the Who's Who of Jungleland: A bush baby smallest of animals, tiny kangaroo-like creature, with teeth so sharp it could cut glass half ans inch thick.
 The wierdest looking animal was the thorn tailed lizard survivor of prehistoric ages, about 7,652,912 years ago. when it was the GUS tom for lizards to go about armored from nose to tail.
 Other notables were toucans, finches, hum ming birds, thrushes and whosis by the thou sands. Back aft, near where the bo'sum spent his watch below, was the mirabou stork, sour old chap, with bill about two and half feet long.
 On the afterdeck were the Chackme ba- boons Bill and Bertha. Bill chased a sailor all over the ship one day, and was put in irons later for committing more trouble.
 Porcupines, secretary birds, that dine on snakes and squak nharmoniousy, were beside sleeping pigs On the port side was lane Of zebras and to starboard flock of antelopes. A Numidian lion with his mate, and Thomas, their 1S-year-old son, born in the Belgian Con- go, were also in the shipment

SEGREGATION ON THE SLIPPERS
rom the Syracuse Post-Standard.

From the Syracuse Post-Standard.
 Two railroads running out of Chicago have put in operation the system of attaching sepa- rate sleepers for men and for women to try out the popularity and feasibility of segrega- tion. There has been much discussion of the plan and it will be interesting to learn how it turns out. The roads are apt to run into diff culties in the case of married couples, but other wise the scheme seems practical. Life in a sleeping car is not joyous thing at best, but when one man or woman, has the added burden of lodging members of the opposite sex while clothed in unconventional attire, it is exasper- ating The segregation system may tighten in a measure the difficulties of sleeper habitation

PARADE GREAT SUCCESS

"The Sunday school parade held in Ensley yesterday by the men classes of the Ensley dis trict was a great success in every way" said Sam c. King, chairman of the parade commit tee.
 We had more than 800 automobiles in the line of parade. If nothing but the cars, without the decorations, had been in the parade, it would have been success from the fact It demonstrated that such great number of men go to Sunday school in the Ensley district"

 DANGERS OF THEBEs

By Minna Irving. I saw a white bush dancing in
 The May winds-sender sprays Of spotless bloom that tossed above
 The gardens vernal maze Like graceful garlands fairy folk
 Had woven overnight And left behind them when surprised By days returning light. But as gazed upon it, To!
 The flowery branches grew To naked arms upflung to greet
 The mornings gold and blue, Wreathed tresses geaming limbs entwined With blossoms pure as snow The Theban prestesses who danced Three thousand years ago.

America Leads World
 in Producing Textiles

M. D. c. Crawford, in Arts and Decoration
 It may come as a surprise to learn not onls that we are the largest textile nation in the world, but next to England are shs oldest in our use of automatic machinery. If I am correct in dating the birth of modern serial production from the actual building of Ark wright's first water power mill in TITS, then America was less than 20 years later in her beginning, for Samuel Slater established his mill at Pawtucket, R. l., in 1793, and applied in it's organization the modern principles of the division of labor in relationship to auto matic machinery. Even before this, in 178T- 1788 in Beverly, Mass and in Philadelphia, Pa, cotton mills with machinery had been organ ized.
 The production of woolen fabrics as a craft industry began at an early stage of colonial development. Washington was inaugurated in a suit of domesticay spun, woven and dyed woolens of which this fastidious gentleman spoke in the highest terms. The first power mill for woolens was built in Newburyport l, Mass, in 1794.
 Silk was grown, spun and woven in colonial times both in Virginia and Connecticut In the Smithsonian institution in Washington, is a dress of heavy silk fabric, painted with native wild flowers, which Martha Washington at the first inauguration. America never achieved any lasting success as grower of silk, although for many years experiments tried and bounties offered both by the crown and colonial government. In the early nine teenth century there was a very considerable speculation in silk worm eggs and mulberry trees But the first successful power mill for making silk was organized in South Manches- ter, Conn.,, by the Cheney family in 1886. This mill is still in the possession of the same family and has grown from an extremely mod est beginning, to be the largest, most complete silk mill in the world
 Comparative figures will show the relation the American textile industry bears especially in silk and cotton, to it's nearest foreign com petitors. In 1919 (the last available figures) we imported from the Orient in round numbers 10000 900 pounds of silk as against all Flu ropes importation of 13,500,000 pounds. In Paterson, N. J., we produce more silk in yarda and money value than any other city in the world, Lyons included We manufacture prac- ticay every grade of silk with the exception of few hand woven webs, as before noted. Our georgettes, roller and block printing, warp dye ing and printing; in short, every variety of cos tune and decorative silk with which the world has become familiar in the thousands of years since silk first became important economic commodity. In structure, appearance and wearing qualities our silks are equal of those of any other nation in the world, and in the grades most commonly demanded by our pub lie, our products are the worlds standard of excellence.

ever seriously aimed to attain prominence in its large circle of spirit population. But with the boss devil out of it it loses what seemed to some of us one of it's chief attractions. Even the invitation to go there, which has been often extended by acquaintances who did not agree with us in matters of mundane interest or social views loses lot of it's meaning.
 As a destroyer of cherished preconceived notions of who's who in hell Voliva has done us a cruel injury.

California Water and Power Act

The proposed California water ana

ballot as an Initiative measure at
the election IN November, Is meeting
with the strongest kind Of opposition
from the Greater California League
organized for the sole purpose OF de-
feating this act. 1t viii bear STUDYING
and women's clubs in many sections
are already devoting programs to ITS
consideration. If it is carried, 1t VIII
be as an amendment to the state con-
stitution; for this and other reasons
the Greater League is urging careIui
consideration by voters, and mas issued
a panlphlet dealing exhaustively with
the subject. The other side VIII doupV-
less be presented to voters by pro
moments of the act SO that they NAV
have something upon which TO pase
their conclusion.
The question with womens cluos
these DAYS is not so much haI l.
shall we endorse?" as What shall
We not endorse?' They are learning
that some of these initiative measures
are fraught with danger when they
are really. understood, and are eau
tious about lending their influence 10

The PRACTICAL
In EDUCATION

To have knowledge of ancient lore
does not mean that a man or woman is
educated in the opinion of Thomas W.
Churchill, president of the New York
board of education. Modern life re-
quires full knowledge of present day
affairs as well as certain fundamental
book learning, he said.
This thought is in line with that
expressed by DR.. Rugh at the Teach
ar's Institute held a short time ago
in Ell Centre. DR.. Rugh who is in the
Department of Education at the State
University, stated that he is telling
the young men and young women who
are coming into his department for
pedagogical training that they must
study life more and books less. "Know
the Child" is the new ideal of educa-
ton; to know life in its real sense is
to be educated. In this connection it
may be said that educators are urg-
ing larger use of the newspaper in
the education Of the alien, as well as
in the class rooms of the public
schools.

The Pythian Sisters Thimble Club
tmet at Pytfian hall on Thursday for
an all day meeting. Sister Harrison
gave The Thimble Club a patchwork
top for comforter and enough more

met with the club probably for the
last time, as she is leaving soon TO
make her home in San Diego. She is
going to be very greatly missed, both
in the club and the Pythian Sisters
Temple, in which she aided greatly
by her counsul and advice.
The club voted that the next meet
ing coming near Lincoln's and Wash
ington's birthdays, would be of a pa
triotic nature, like the school enter
tainments at such times when we
were "kiddies" and for all menners to
come in children's garb and speal,
pieces, sing songs or read essays. All
meetings herafter win be all day
