 Became Interested In Silk
 purirv the iil-fated sericulture ..sge fn inc thirties and early fortiesr s,-hirh fllu,inated in the so-eailed eafulberrV Panic" General Hemlnway e~st became interested in silk He sIse got interested in manufacturing around that time. making ms start as producer of buckles. A length ne decided to make sewing silk. and spent gr,,sfdernbIe time studying various f..s.srea of the new problems. Among a.ber .bin0s he visited Charles and Wavd Cbenev at South Manchester, Conn. where they already haa salilsu considerable experience ID ths hlah1- fs,..,,re of sewing silk-thouRh not on spools. He then returned 10 water town and embarked on the venture which lives after him.
 At that time, all silk thread was sold in skeins. General Heminway- he was a General, by the way, in the State Militia-decided to try spooling siIk as cotton and linen thread were already spooled. and took 1t to various merchants. Though he was then ffty years old. the ultra-conservatsve mer- chants of the time considered him victim of boyish enthusiasm and told him 1t was impractieable to spool silk thread because Of it's elastic qualities. 90 different from cot ton and linen. Only at his urging, they agreed to try the little spools, on each of which was wound twelve yards of sewing silk, and see If the pubic wanted to buy silk put up m that way
 The American public, even in ls4s, appears to have been able to detect a good thing on sight, for the silk thread on spools was a success from the start. And. the merchants having proved wrong in their prediction. other man ufaeturers adopted the idea, which in a few years spread all over the world
 Spooled Silk a Success
 The original spools were very much smaller and different in shape from those used at the present time and their twelve yards of silk each eonstl- tated less than an eighth Of the amount on the i00-yard spools Of to- day. General Heminway made his own spoois in Natertown al first. turning them out on a hand lathe. Nowadays more than a hundred cords of wood from the Main woods are used every month in the machine manufacture of
 pools for demlnWay silks.
 Al the start the enterprise was known as M. Heminway ( Sons slls Company. 90 1t remained when in l9Oa 1t was the first of the silk thread companies to branch ont 5Hta the held of artifcia. sa. bringing oaf tHa rexto Brand h 1aia the name was changed to the II K H.

Increasingly pressing needs of the m.

make the Forthcoming Flower Day u
record day Ia The annals OF national
fund collections
Two factors tend to sOl,d,fy Jewish
achievements in Palestine: First the
lumber Of Jews with secured eco.
homie existence In the country; and
second, the area Of land in Jewish pos
session. Every bit OF progress along
these two lines adds strength TO the
Jcwish hopes
While the need of a larger Jewish
population In Palestine Is recognized
on all sides, the need Of increasing jew.
ish land holdings Is not yet sufficiently
appreciated. A considerable Increase
In Jewish land possessions Ia Palestine
Is needed for three reasons; a. The
economic condition Of the Jews in Pal.
cStine will not be a healthy one unless
considerable part Of them will live
on agriculture. This necessitates, OF
course, the acquisition of large tracts
of land; (2) Large Jewish land pas
sessions In all parts Of the country is
The only means by which the Jews of
Palestine could escape the fate of the
Jews of the diaspora who became
concentrated in few cities away from
the open country. Otherwise the jew
iSh settlements In Palestine will re-
main mere oasis in n non-Jewish coGn-
try. t3) The question Of how much
land we own in Palestine Is very essen
ial 20 all our political demands.
AT this time there is no Jewish work
so important and noble as the up.
building Of Palestine as the Jewish
homeland The Jewish National fund.
