Silk Industry Founded
In Germany by Woman

Mulberry leaves will turn TO silk u
patiently fec to the silkworn uk," y
Mrs. L. Techermak's slogan. She b
founder and president of the silk-grows
ing industry in Germany, living In q
charming house, In Dahlen, Berlin.
The garden Is entirely taken UP by q
mulberry tree plantation, while the top
story Of the house shelters the silk
worms.
According to Mrs. Tschermak no
great funds are needed for silkworm
rearing II one has q plot Of ground on
which TO plant mulberry trees and q
room which may be heated rs a silk
worm nursery. One thousand eggs.
Weighing about one-quarter of 60
ounce, cost ID cents and between 10000
and 10000 worms can be looked after
by one person, taking about six weeks to
reach the cocoon stage.
At least 1000 mulberry bushes are
needed for feeding purposes; small
plants can be had for $40 q lot. A bush
six years old can feed 20 worms, 1000
bushes feed 10000 worms, which give a
dry cocoon weight Of about So pounds.
| For two pounds of silk from $3.50 to 81
are paid today, so that it Is easy to
make $50 in about six to eight weeks
But" continued Mrs. Tschermak,
"the thing has also national outlook
Germany annually uses raw silk worth
several million marks, China's silk pro-
! duction is diminishing and German silk
Is excellent. We can breed several times
q year, whereas, China only has one
harvest. We can easily get five or more
harvestS."

H/HEN he was hardly more

the American Magazine, was
secretary to the Governor of
South Carolina.
There was a brilliant young
chap in the State administra-
ton who, at the age of 26, held
the ONCE Of assistant comp
troller. He had not intended to
run for the comptrollership, but
q political faction organized TO
head him OF. This made him
mad, and so he did run and
was elected.
After holding the ONCE for
only six months he asked for
an interview with the Cover
nor.
Whats on your mind?"
asked Jim.
IT am going to resign"
''Why?"
"I'll tell you presently"
They went into the Cover
nor's private room, and the
young official rendered his res

amazed.
Whats the matter?" he ex-

Germans Ride Train
Free Under l843 Right

One must live in q country where
the rule Of kings, princes or dukes still
shows its traces in order to realize what
privileges such people possessed. Usu-
ally they are very venerable and a
source of income for some nobleman.
Practically always they are a burden
to the common people, but there are
a few exceptions to the rule.
One of these is the privilege of
the people Of Lauenhurg, a little
town on the Elbe. In 184S the
King Of Denmark, then Duke OF
Lauenburg, granted the right to use
the railroad from Lauenburg to Buzz
chen q miles) to every inhabitant OF
Lauenburg free of charge. Though the
Lauenburg- Buechen railroad now be-
longs to the German state, the privilege
of the people of Lauenburg still IS valid,
as the supreme court recently decided.
Passenger traffic between Lauenburg
and Buechen is not hit by bad business;
for obvious reasons It Is heavier than
Il, any other part Of the country with
tbs same population density.

Manager" With Long
Record PensiOned on lOc Day

as they came out. It was the time when
he was richest. As to how many times
he was in prison he cannot remember.
But 1t was never very hard, as he was
always treated with respect" and
sometimes let loose on his simple word.
However, for many years he was. never
at home more than three months be-
tween one prison" and another. News
papers in those days, he says, used to
fight and insult each other 80 much
that there was always some trouble.
The Fascists have done away with
the ridiculous law. Now a newspaper
manager must prove he is an honorable
man, that he Is not a tramp, that he Is
capable of doing serious work, that he
does not drink or beat his wife, that he
has his children baptized, that he does
not loaf on Sundays, that he sees that
the staff gets paid, that he does not run
the newspaper into debt and that he
has never been in prison. It Is very
hard for any one to be a newspaper
manager nowadays. compared TO what
it was In the days Of Pietro Rusconi.

ROME.-Ths most famous "newspa-
per manager" In Italy, Pietro Rusconi,
has retired on q pension of 10 cents
q day. He was manager" in his long
career of more than so years Of % diff
ferent papers. His stan of office was
generally q broom, and his pay was
never even so much as Q dollar q day.
He belonged, Of course, 10 that Pc
cuiiar institution In italy, aS In France
and other Latin countries, of the ire
sponsible manager" before the law Of
any newspaper. It was his duty to
sweep the Offices, as q rule, and to keep
stray dogs from the door and go to
prison or pay fines as might happen
If the paper got into trouble.
Liability Of Manager"
The law as made somewhere in the
middle Of the last century was copied
from the laws of Napoleon III on the
press. Every newspaper was to have .
manager" whose name was TO be
printed In each issue and who was liable
for any Of the legal penalties. As the
law did not stipulate what were 70 be
the qualities of the manager" all
newspapers resorted to the practice Of
the poorest man on the stan, and he
was generally the man who swept the
floors and locked the doors. He was

Mussolini had various managers" Of
this description himself. His manager
of the Lolita d Classe at Forn was a
street sweeper named Guido Casalini,
who still glories in the fact as he con-
tinues sweeping the streets Of Forii. In
Milan Mussolini had q certain Galassi,
who deserted his ofiice--that Is, his
broom-when he was TO 60 the third
time to prison, and he has never been
heard OF since.
The venerable Rusconi. who has in
this way been the manager Of os pa
peys, has many memories also of prison
and fnes, but each time he came out
he had the satisfaction of going on q
picnic with his wife and children.
Highest Salary Paid.
The highest salary that Pietrc Rus

Robert Updegraff, the writer
Of business articles, uttered q
profound business truth when
he counseled: Never COM
plain about your troubles. They
are responsible for the greater
part Of your income"
Almost any one can hold a
job which presents no difficult
ties; hence such jobs pay small
salaries, Men at the top are
paid for their willingness to
accept responsibility; for the
problems that they tackle and
the difficulties they lick.

Cure for TattoOing
Revealed by Doctor

DR.. Locard. the most famous scientific
detective in France, has made hobby
for years Of tattooing. Contact with
criminals from all over the world who
have come to his laboratory in Lyons
has taught DR.. Locard virtually every
thing there is to know about various
systems and markings Of tattooers, If
not little more. FOR he has been able
to announce recently cure for tattoo
ing, something hitherto unknown.
Thousands of people have been
swindled by fake tattoo removers; thou
sands more go through life miserable
because they cannot get rid Of some
Objectionable design, bitten deeply into
the skin.
Well, here Is what DR.. Locard says to
do: First, apply 70 the tattooed area a
concentrated solution of tannin. Then
open each hole made by the tattooer.
and rub each tiny wound with pencil
Of silver nitrate. The skin will turn
black Then powder it again with tan
min. Within 10 or 10 hours, according
to Or. Locard, the tattoo marks viii
disappear. Caution must be used in
this method. and doctors advice Is
necessary. Not more than two square
inches OF flesh should be treated ct one
time.

Tunis Contest to Seek
Device to Pick Olives

Under the auspices of the Tlnisian
government, a competition will be con-
Quoted among agricultural implement
manufacturers and others for the
wholesale manufacture of q mechanical
device for gathering the fruit from olive
trees Not more than two or three
workmen should be necessary to work
the apparatus.
The competition viii take place at
Sfax, TIlntsia, next January. Such an
appliance should prove invaluable in
Tunisia, which is one of the largest ex-
porters of olive oil in the world, It
may be recalled that 30 or 40 years ago
q French journalist resolved to aid In
the restoration Of the region OF Sfax,
which under the Romans had yielded
such rich returns. but had now fallen
into sterility. He gave up his jour
nalism and took up farming, and by his
example, aided by his pen, he peTsuad-
ed the government and owners of big
estates to plant olives He succeeded
so well that today the whole district of
Sfax Is one big orchard Of Evergreen
olive trees.
The average oil production from one
Of these olive trees at the adult age
varies from 40 litres to 100 litFes q year,
but this output may increase to as much
as 400 lltres ID good years.
