Japanese Earthquake
Affects Silk Market

"The recent Japanese disaster and
its effect on the silk market of Amer
lea shows the close relation between
East and West in this most beauti-
full and storied of industries" said
Horace B. Cheney of the South Man
chester silk mills.
THE necessity of keeping the lines
Of silk commerce open has always
been recognized When Commander
Preble struck his great blow at the
Barbary pirates, he provided the set
ting for one of the worlds epics of
romantic heroism. He also took the
first real step to free for all time
the commerce in silk between the
old and new worlds.
"The Barbary pirates had for cen
turtles terrorized the Mediterranean
and English, French, Dutch, Dan
ish, Swedish and Americans alike
were victims: although alone among
the nations, America refused trib-
ute. Finally this nation ordered an
attack upon the pirates. Two at
tempts failed, and even third ex-
pedition under Commander Preble
developed unpromisingly at the be-
ginning. In the harbor of Tripoli the
Philadelphia struck reef and was
captured by the Tripolitans. 1t was
a catastrophe, for the craft repre-
sented third of the American force.
Preble, however, made immediate
plans for the destruction of the cap
ltured ship. Lieutenant Decatur was
chosen as the leader of this enter
prise. He was only "a years old, but
he possessed prudence combined
with daring and resourcefulness. In
the little Inteprid he made his voy-
age, cooped up with his crew in a
tiny cabin-'the seamen slowed like
herrings upon platform laid across
the water casks Under the pre-
tense of losing anchors in a gale,
he stole into the harbor where the
and ordered the assault. Decatur
fired the ship, made his escape, and
won for this exploit sword of hon
or from Congress. Afterward sub
stantial damage was inflicted upon
Tripoli and satisfactory peace pro-
claimed. The conscience of Europe
became awakened through the Amer
ican effort. From that moment the
power of the Barbarian pirates COM
menced to wane.
THUS we can say that from Amer
ican determination and bravery COM
merce was freed and the American
silk industry perm lit e d natural
growth-bringing to thousands of
American homes variously beautiful

Belt, it is said.

Hungarian vetch makes a good green

able for this on heavy wet lands
where other legumes will not make
very large growth. Because OF it's
greater hardness 1t also can be
used in localities having winters too

him the bull. It would have been

On the Mexican border a picture

million cattle were lately driven
across the Mexican border. They
show the last desperate stand of the
cattle kings to regain open range
from the grasping hand of civiliza-
ton. For months these cattlemen
have been fighting for their very ex
istence, and this drive of the ANAL
gamated three herds has been car
ried on secretly. The spectacle was
filmed by Associated First National
Pictures, as the basis Of an epochal
drama of the passing of the west.
