SILK BOOM IS ON
NOW in CALIFO RNIA
Revive Industry Started and
Wrecked by Frenchman.

Sacramento, Cal.-California's silk
industry, which is almost as old as the
state itself and was launched by
Frenchman and wrecked by French
man, today is being blown toward the
port Of prosperity by the tickle winds
of French fashion.
The name Of the "Forty-Niner"
Frenchman who proclaimed California
"The best silk-growing country In the
world" while others were marveling at
Its wealth Of gold, is little known In
California itself. He was Louis Pre-
vost Of San Jose.
The name Of the. Frenchman who
wrecked the golden states sericulture
was Louis Pasteur, the great scientist.
By 1855 silk culture was thriving I'm
several parts Of the state and the fol-
lowing year silk-weaving machinery
was ordered. A single nurseryman In
Los Angeles by 1859 was Offering 1OO.-
600 mulberry trees and cuttings for
sale. Louis Provost himself had a
plantation Of fifty acres along what Is
now Main street In Los Angeles.
Then news came that Louis Pasteur,
miracle-working scientist, had found
remedy for the silk worm blight and
saved European sericulture. Orders, for
California eggs, which had been bring
ing SO and $12 an ounce, diminished,
then stopped entirely, debating the
states booming silk industry.
The wide margin of labor costs in
the Far East and in California still
remained seemingly insurmountable
obstacle, but with the development
of a new and greater silk market there
began to enter another element; speed
to satisfy fashion.
This aided the industry in CaIifor-
mia, for the new shade or design pro-
claimed by Paris could be transmitted
to California by cable and the novelty
placed on the counters of California
stores while it still was a novelty.

Cancer Did Not Kill
NAPOLEON, Says Physician

Leeds, England. = Napoleon the
Great did not die of cancer. declared
Sir Berkeley Moynihan, well-known
surgeon Of Leeds, addressing the
Leeds Luncheon club.
II have had the opportunity Of ex-
aiming the viscera of Napoleon and
found that there was absolutely no
trace of cancer" he said.
Sir Berkeley, speaking of the In
crease in cancer Of the tongue. caused
chiefly by smoking, said:
"At present women are almost ex-
empt, but I think they have future
in that direction, in view of the rapid
spread of the smoking habit among
girls. their mothers and their aunts."
