NEW FABRIC FOR
 l. CHUTES IS SOUGHT
Satisfactory Substitute for Silk Desired

Washington. Jan. c6 F-A sat. isfactory substitute for silk for us.. in the making of rarachutes is be- ing sought by the research workers under the direction of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronau- tics.
 Considerable progress has been made in this direction through modified mercerization and treat ment of cotton yarn to give 1t the required strength elasticity and re- siliency, but the work is being con- 'inued with the hope of producing an even better material At present, silk remains the best material for parachutes because of its elasticity which gives it g. tendency to spring out and unfold itself when released from tight wrappings.
 Until recently. the United States, which needs 5000 rarachutes in peace time and would require 3o.- ooo to 10000 in event of war, has been dependent upon Japan for properly woven fabric. American research workers have. however, developed a method for weaving the silken strands which gives them greater strength and more of the required bounce than is found in the Japanese product. Never theless. it is still necessary to i'm port the raw material. A para chute which may last only two or three years, requires from 50 to 75 square yards of material.
 Experiments have been made with the cellulose substitute for silk. but their tendency to absorb moisture has interfered with their effectiveness, and the best results thus far have been obtained with the long staple Arizona Egyptian cotton.

AEt Of Zanliblr Rated as
 One Of Best

All the time he trails the man who injured him, and formulates terrible plot of revenge.
 Lionel Barrymore plays the fugi- tive enemy and Mary Nolan, hero inc of "Sorrel and Son." is seen as Chaney's daughter, a dominant fig ure in this uncanny structure of ter rorism and revenge. Walter Baxter Jane Daily and others of note appear in the cast.
 Tod Browning, director of The unholy Three" 'The Road to Man. dalay" and other Chaney hits, di- rected the new production.
 Among the sensational highlights are the replicas of weird voodoo rites and the ceremonies of devil worshippers in the Congo jungles, with hundreds of people taking part in orgies of terror.
 There will be twoHomplete shoV- ings on Sunday night at 6:3O and S:30, and during the first half of the week 1t will be offered with great vaudeville program. The feature act will present Chabot and Tortinl. "rhe Boy From Belgium and the Girl from France"
