members of the organization TO
give their support to the second
annual industrial exposition spons-
ored by the chamber.
The exposition will be held at the

Washington is busy city,"
said Mr.. Leese, land l believe this
condition is hiding from the ajor,
Iity of it's residents the fact that

expanding commercial side. In
short, Washington needs education
concerning its business achieve

that there is no better way of

ried 2000-pound bombs that sunk

originally for a 4.000-pound bomb. the
Air Service contemplates using a
bomb half this weight and carrying
the remaining 1000 pounds in fuel to
increase the cruising radius.

Spain Tries to Revive
Its Old Silk Industry

Young Alfonso, prince of Asturias.
has placed himself at the head of
movement to revive the old silk
weaving industry. which once was
one of the artistic glories of Spain,
but is now in parlous condition Not
only are noblemen who own large es-
tates on which mulberry trees grow
helping the prince by erecting fac
tories, but the industry is being re-
organized as a home occupation for
peasants on a cooperative system.
Worm seed is distributed with in
stIuctions how to obtain the cocoons,
and laboratories for scientific work
in connection with insect pests and
for testing are being organized in
the silkworm growing districts. There
is q ready market in Europe for the
raw spun silk, but the prince aims
far higher; at nothing else,, indeed,
than the production of such rich tex
lures as once made Valencia and
Talavera famous.
