People in ancient Egypt made rope from strips of animal skin, from cotton fibers, and from bark.
 You might have a hard time con- meeting rope with bananas; but in the Philippine islands grow banana plants which supply excellent rope fibers. The fibers are taken from the stalks, and are sometimes 10 feet long. They are often called Manila hemp" and produce tough rope.
 Manila fibcrs are not truly hemp. Genuine hemp comes from a plant which belongs to the nettle family, and which is a native of Asia. In former years this plant was the chief source of fibers for ropes, and the name hemp" is used now and then for rope.
 A dangerous crug-"hashish"- Is taken from the hemp plant. This drug is chewed and smoked in the Orient. Those who use it are harsh ly punished by Nature.
 Sisa1 fiber--taken from a cactus like plant which grows in Mexico, Yucatan, Florida and the West In- dies-is also widely used for rope- making. More than 150,000 tons of this fiber have been produced for market in a single year.
 Rope factories have machines which divide fiber strands. one from another, and which turn the strands into rope.
 The strongest rope. thus far in- vented is made from steel wires twisted together. Wire ropes, or cables, are used in holding up sus- pension bridges. A wire rope an inch thick will sustain q load of 50 tens.

scarum rascal personified by Kiki.

scarum rascal personified by Kiki.
 Millions remember and love her for the superb performances she gave in "Tess of the Storm Country" My Best Girl'' and the exquisite little girl portrayals in an unbroken chain of successes that established her as "America's Sweetheart"
 But with talking pictures, Mary Pickford has undergone metamor- phosis. She has grown up. She's a young woman who looks at things from the adult point of view. Her characters live for admiration, coquetry, romance. "Coquette" was the first of this new series. Here was the little innocent with the golden curls in an entirely different characterization. There was a pert ness that was charming, roguish- ness that was quite irresistible, and a fiirtatious allure that at once made Miss Pickford one of the outstand- ing romantic figures of the screen.
 ''Kiki" is a combination of the new Mary Pickford and the one of the silent days. She is an adorable little spitfire, creature of moods, caprices, emotions. There still re- mains the childhood dependence and trust, the elfin joy that charac- terizes the tiniest pleasure.
 "Kiki" presents a Mary Pickford the public has never seen the critics aver.
 The picture was directed by pro- ducer Sam Taylor and is played by well-known supporting cast in- cluding Reginald Denny, Joseph Cawthorn, Margaret Livingston. Phil Tead, Fred Walton and Edwin Maxwell.
 The companion feature presents Buck Jones in "The Texas Ranger" another of those snappy, breezy &C.,
 on-packed western tales which nave been greatly enhanced in en-
 ertainment value since being made ntO talkies

Out of long roots of spruce trees. twisted together, the half-savage tribesmen made ropes two inches thick. If you have ever struggled to pull tree root apart, you real ize that roots should make strong rope.

Coaches Satisfied
 With Rival Crews

New London, Conn, June IT. (UP)-Light training was scheduled today for all the Harvard and Yale crews which are to participate in the annual regatta on the pictures que Thames river course Friday.
 Both Harvard's young coach, Charlie Whiteside, and the veteran Eli mentor, Ed Leader. appeared satisfied with the performance of their varsity eights and put them through long paddles at slow heats yesterday. The Yale freshmen. jun for varsity and combination eights. however. were given time trials.
 The amazing shakeup of the Yale crew just before departure for the Gales Ferry crew quarters, above here, appears not to have upset the bulldog morale. Confidence reigns here in the Yale camp. despite the fact that a dozen oarsmen eligible for the varsity and jayvee shells were dropped for infraction of train ing rules.

TORONTO-M'LARN DECORATE RING
 CARD THIS WEEK

Lukewarm boxing fans, who can- leather exchange unless they can be assured of a slam-bang glove battle will be out in large numbers Satur- day night with Lakewood park as their destination. The bout that ap- pears to that particular type of fight fan, in the opinion of Prom oter George Mulligan is the Mike Toron- to and Jerry McLarn mixup which is booked for six rounds on an at tractive program of 32 rounds, five bouts.
 Both terrific hitters. the battle shapes up as choice between Me Larn's left against Torontos right and you can be sure of seeing some great shots before either one of them hit the canvas. The Bridge port boy is the more experienced of the two, having been in the give and take profession for about seven years, but McLarn is improving by leaps and bounds. The Watertown walloper surprised even his hand lers in his last appearance by box ing his opponent into position for shot with his trltsty left fin which has put more than one opponent on the floor since Jeremiah began his ring career last winter.
 Worth While
 Aside from such prospect. the customers will be treated to a re- turn go with Marty Sampson of New York and Battling Archie as opponents. The boys stole the show at Lakewood last week and are hard at work preparing for their contin- ued muss this week, which has been rightfully moved up to an eight round semi-final spot. Either one is liable to win, they are so well matched, though Sampson intends to make his close win last Friday more convincing this time.
