bell comes from a company which has
never made a profit. II has made a
great effort To develop new industry
which II believes has great potential
economic value. and il has developed a
commercial product which still has in
finite possibilities for further develop

I'VE met the emergency caused by
the loss Of our rhea business, by turn
ing to another new business-the spin
ming Of artificial silk or rayon. We
have developed a high grade yarn
which is now finding ready market.
The fabrics made from these yarns
are sound and there Is a real place in
the textile world for spun rayon and
its development in the next few years
should be very large, bat that, too, has
entirely inadequate and unequal pro
lection.

for a new trend in the textile world.
That is. spinning of long irregular
length fibres. whether natural or arti-
fetal. We have spent a large amount
Of money on developing the spinning
Of such fibres. Without higher pro
lection on one or both Of these mater
ials we will have 20 go out of business
very SOON.
The present import duty on ramie
yarns ranges from % 20 80 per cent

that his company would send repre-
tentative 70 WASHINGTON next week to
support a plea for higher duties on ray

considered.

SPRINGFIELD, H., April ia
committee of seven members of the
Illinois house of representatives will
conduct a separate investigation of
the killing of Mrs. Lillian De King
in a dry" raid on her home in
Aurora, III.
The investigation was provided tor
in resolution passed by an 81 to so
vote in the lower assembly branch
Wednesday. Representative Frank
A. Mccarthy, Elgin, ILL.,, joint author
of the resolution, asserted that a
peculiar set of circumstances" in
Kane county, scene Of the killing,
require investigation.
Supporters of the resolution
criticised Eugene Boyd Fairchild,
investigator, who signed the affidavit
which led to the killing of Mrs. De
King by Deputy Sheriff Roy Smith,
leader of the raid on the De King
home.
Fairchild is charged with perjury
under a verdict of a coroner's jury
which held that the De King raid
warrant apparently had been is
sued on false information. Fair
child admitted another man made
the liquor purchase.
Deputy Sheriff Smith, wounded by
12-year-old Gerald De King after
the boys mother had been shot to
death, faces a. manslaughter charge.

necessities Of life along the Main
Stem
Some chorus girls take several
months to pay for their dogs
but they always pay" said Charles
$. King, whose pet shop and beau
tv salon for CANNES is in the heart
cf the theatrical section. I've
never lost a nickel trusting a
chorus girl TO pay for her pet on
the installment plan-though I've
ucen gypped often enough by men.
Not only do the girls pay
promptly, but they buy well and
Jncxtrayagantly. They rarely pay
more than $50 for a dog-unless,
of course, it is being bought for
them as a gift by some man, when
heir tastes become more expen-
siyc.
Usually they select a Boston
Bull or a Wire-Haired, durable
breeds that prevail on Broadway.
over on Park Avenue, where the
society girls parade, the Schnauzer
IS the smart dog-but he begins
around $3.50.
Chorus girls are the best
dressed women in the world, and
their dogs are the best groomed.
They bring them in regularly to
have them clipped, have their
nails trimmed and their teeth
cleaned"
Besides selling and beautifying
pups, King maintains a boarding
house for pets. Consequently,
when the girls who have bought
dogs from him go on the road for
a while, they bring in their pets
to board while they arc out Of
town.
