A Chinese princess married an Indian
prince, and in the lining of her head
dress carried seeds of the mulberry tree
and eggs of the silkworm. From that
time the silk industry has spread over
the world.
1t has we'll been called the story of
woman's movement, and man has been
an interloper, and somewhat recent one
at that, having done much in the line
of the commercial development of silk;
but the honor and history of it.
as well as its use to-day, belong to
woman.
The silkworm of commerce belongs to
the group known as the silkworm moth.
and many of this family spin large guam
titles of silk In making their cocoons.
This species do not live long, and in their
perfect state require very little food The
cultivated silkworm requires great care
and quietude and is representative to
changes in temperature, so that in China
the girls who tend them give up their
lives practically to the work, being Sc.
lected for their gentleness and quiet,
cheerful natures.

quire many weeks for them to sight the
Western Continent, where, it is now held,
they planted colonies at least two or three
thousand years before the Christian era.
The Spaniards report tradition cur
rent among the Mayans that their ances-
tors had come from the East many ages
before that time and this would go to
bear out the modern theory of settlement
by the Egyptians.
The old Mayans built not only these
monoliths and sphinxes, but also pyra-
mids, much after the Egyptian style, and
no other people has this combination.
One investigator is so sure of his ground
that he insists that he has discovered the
special personal mark of King Meme, who
lived $500 b. c., upon one monument and
that the figure at the bottom is car
touche, or frame, in which only proper
names we're inscribed by the Egyptians.
The figure at the bottom does look
strangely like scarabaeus, or sacred bee
tie of the Egyptians, the symbol for eter-

representative of his family. They de-
clare the Mayan monument indicates that
the king to whom it was erected was the
autocratic ruler Of his people, and that he
and they were recently arrived Egyptians.
If the scientists are certain.
The Mayan monuments are rich in por-
traits, which has led many scholars to
compare these stone pictures with the
carved portraits found upon Egyptian
monuments. While some trace no direct
resemblance, others find so marked a
similarity of feature that they unhesitat-
ingly identify the Mayans with the
Egyptians. The somewhat curved noses,
receding chins, sloping foreheads are
pointed out as more than accidental re-
semblances.
That the Mayans were great astron-
omers is proved by calendar stones and
other inscriptions, and in this point too
they were Egyptianlike. 1t is asserted
that chief epoch with the Mayans was

Egyptians found their way to this new
Western land.
In religion there are even more strik-
ing resemblances. With the Egyptians
they believed that the dead enjoyed the
food placed with them in the tomb. and
both had Supreme Deity greater than
the minor gods.
A remnant of the Mayans still exists,
though the survivors are not pure Of
blood, and it is claimed that no less than
100000 persons. chiefly Indians, speak
form of the Mayan language to-day.
There are two conflicting traditions
current among these people as to their
origin. One asserts that Itzamna came
from tho Far East, beyond the ocean, and
taught the people. The other, that Kukul-
can, the miraculous priest and leader,
came from the West and founded their
civilization. Under him the people were
divided into four clans, ruled by as many
kingly families. Many myths Of the early
days we're told to the early Spanish in
vaders, and have been preserved by the
Spanish missionaries who came very
early to Central America to teach the
Gospel.
From all of these traditions and
study of the monuments as we'll it has
been possible to reconstruct a fairly ac-
curate account of the life of this most
remarkable people. The king was in
close touch with the High Priest, king
of the sacred city of Izamal, being con-
suited by the king on all important mat
ters. The governors Of the four prov
inces were mobiles of the great families,
supreme in their territory. These were
the royal blood.
There was a council of lords aiding the
king. There were special classes of
priests and there was also female
priesthood, or vestal order, whose head
was of royal blood. The plebeians we're
the laborers, artisans, merchants. Slaves
were held, largely prisoners of war and
their descendants.

What she said, no one knows, but she
left home about 1880 that evening and
was never again seen alive by the
members of her family.
AS to the rector's movements just
before the crime, we are left in doubt,
through reticence of Mrs. Hall and her
family to permit a thorough investiga-
ton. But we know enough to believe
DR.. Hall was agitated.
l have reason to believe a member
of the Hall household will testify the
rector was greatly disturbed.
Now, what came next? We have the
testimony of witness who saw Mrs.
Mills board car, headed out towards
the park, where she and DR.. Hall were
wont to meet and discuss poetry and
nature and the things they loved. Mrs.

The darkness of the night that hung
over Buccleuch park swallowed them
up, and from then on it is as vet con-
lecture as to what went on until the
bodies, side by side, were found be-
meath the crabapple tree. But my in
vestigations lead me to believe the
following scene took place:
Mrs. Mills was seized and pushed
into an automobile. She was taken
to vacant building, not the Phillips
farm, but in a little group of houses
northwestward of the crabapple tree
and some distance removed There
she was thrown into a dark room.
Next, DR.. Hall was captured and
taken there. The couple were con-
fronted with indisputable evidence OF
an affair"
The rector sprang to Mrs. Mills de,

Check Up Statements.
Detectives today busted themselves
checking up on all statements made
by Mrs Edward w Hall and her two
brothers as to their whereabouts and
their movements on the night of Sept.
IA, when the Rev. E. w. Hall and Mrs.
Eleanor Mills were slain.
Prosecutor Beekman is making pub
lie in installments, the love letters of
Mrs. Mills to the rector, which were
found scattered on the ground beside
their bodies. They seem to indicate
beyond doubt that the pastor and the
choir singer were involved in a very
passionate amour and that they were
killed at a love-tryst.
The widow with her two brothers,
William and Henry-the former an

the courthouse yesterday accounted
for their whereabouts on the murder
night.
Go Over Details.
Every detail of their statements is
being thoroughly gone over by the in
testigators.
Mrs. Hall. through her attorney,
Samuel Pfeffer, insists that she was
not aware that her husband was hav-
ing an affair with Mrs. Mills. 1t
was stated that she even doubts the
genuineness of the love letters which
have been given out.

to the ministerial crisis here and that

Remarking upon this contingency,
the diplomatic expert of the Daily

of postponement might. however, be
compensated in some measure if
postponement which will carry the

HEART and HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: A boy
friend of mine invited me to a party
and when the night came I got all
ready and he did not come. The next
day I heard about tho party and was
told that he was there with another
girl. I was so angry called him up
and asked him what he meant by do
ing such a thing. ard he said I must
have been mistaken because he did
not invite me.
What do you think of such a boy?
He did ask me. Do you think he has
forgotten? If he has, should 4 go
with him again II he asks me?
BERNICE.
If the boy invited you to the party
he surely did not forget about the in
vitation afterward. Probably he de-
cided he preferred the other girl.
Speak TO him when you meet, but
never let him come to see you again.
A boy who would do such thing is
too crude to consider.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am going
to have a very informal party. Would
it be all right to invite my friends
personally, or will it be necessary to
send out invitations? EDITH.
1t will be all right to invite your
friends personally to a party of an in
formal nature.

SPENDING OTHERS, MONEY.

One Of the reforms in the interest
Of economy and efficiency in the ad-
ministration of public affairs which
the present administration proposes
is an increase of the length OF the
working day for government employees
in Washington. At present the max
imum working day for the govern
ment empIoye in Washington is seven
and one-half hours. In practice,
however. the majority of the depart
ments and bureaus in Washington
work only seven hours a day.
The seven and one-half hour day
for federal employees in Washington
is fixed by law and civil service regu-
iations. When applicants for posi-
tions under civil service file their ap-
plication it is in the agreement made
on the part OF the government that
they are to work not over seven and
One-half hours a day. Government
employees in Washington get Saturday
afternoons off for thirteen weeks dur
ing the summer months. This gives
them a working schedule of forty
five hours a week during the winter
months and a forty-one-hour week
schedule during the summer months.
In addition to this. the. employees
are given thirty days vacation on full
pay. They are also given a minimum
OF fifteen days and a maximum of
thirty days sick leave on full pay.
The differential is optional with the
heads OF bureaus. 1t IS the custom
for all government employees who have
not used up their sick leave by actual
sickness to add it to their vacation pc
riod SO that at a minimum govern
ment employees in Washington have
forty-five days away from the office
on full pay in addition to their Satur-
day half holidays during the summer.
The system affords one more illus
tration OF the readiness with which
the money of other persons is spent.
Not one member OF congress would
think of emf loying workers in his
business on su h terms and probably
few OF them are in sympathy with
the printers demand for a 44-hour
week or the miners' demand for
six-hour day
