The worms eat so much that they
split and discard their skin four
times before growing into 3-inch
caterpillars. Each caterpillar at
taches itself to tWig or rack placed
in tray. From glands beneath its
head flows a thick. gluelike sub
stance which hardens into silk fiber.
The caterpillar wraps this fiber
round and round its body until 1t
has spun a cocoon the size of a
big peanut.
the caterpillars eventually would
change into moths and make holes
to escape. That would cut the silk
fiber. Consequently. the cocoons are
baked or steamed to kill the cater
pillars. Then the long thread is
unwound. BY hand, the fastest
workers can reel only pound or
two of silk thread a day, but now
much of that work is done by ma
chinery.
The United States has been the
principal customer for silk thread
from Japan, which has supplanted
China as the worlds leading pro-
ducer. One popularity of Japanese
American trade is that while Japan

gust, were valued at $4,000 900,
an increase Of 449 per cent over
the shipments for thhe year pre-
ceding the outbreak of the war.
Firearms, ammunition and explo-
sives were shipped abroad in the
value of s173.0O0OOO, a gain of
1922 per cent Exports of iron
and steel products registered an
advance of 1853 per cent.
Despite the obstacles to inter-
national trade. exports to China,
valued at S76.O0O,00O, were 86 per
cent crater during the second year
of the war than during the period
ending in August, 1899 Part of
these goods moved over the Burma
road.
Exports to Russia were valued at
S65 100000, a gain of 1877 per cent
over shipments for period ending in
August, 1899. In September, the
latest month for which figures are
available, the United States shipped
goods to Russia valued at approx
mately s11 100000.
Increase Expected.
October shipments, rejecting cur
rent Russian purchases, are expect
ed to be even larger. The biggest
export total to Russia since the
World War was in 1880. when ship
ments for the year were valued at
S110, 100000
Movement of goods to Russia dur
ing the coming months will depend
in large part on the amount of ship
ping available, it was pointed out
yesterday. Approximately 125 Amer
ican flag ships will be assigned to
the Red Sea trade this winter. Some
of these will be available to carry
American war materials to Iran,
for trans shipment by rail to the
Caspian Sea and from there to Rus
Sia.
United States imports were 16 per
cent greater than the total for the
first year of the war. British En-
pire countries contributed As per
cent and the American republics
% per cent of the imports, which
were valued at more than $3,000,-
100000. The past year has brought
a further concentration of imports
into crude materials and strategical
and critical items.
"The substantial rise in imports
during the second year of the war,
despite the tightness Of the ship
ping situation, measures the sue
cess attending efforts to obtain ade-
quate supplies of crude materials
to feed the defense effort In the
United States and to prevent their
shipment to Axis or Axis-controlled
countries" the Commerce Depart

States sends quantities of cotton to
Japan to be made into cloth.
What IS the reason for this ex-
change? The best machinery for
weaving silk has been developed in
New Jersey and Pennsylvania fac
tories. Also, the United States i'm
poses a tariff on silk cloth.
Japan needs cotton to clothe Its
people. Since japanese labor is
cheap, 1t Is more economical for
the country to import raw cotton
than woven goods. Electric power
to operate the japanese textile
looms comes from the swift noun
tain rivers.
Textile and other manufacturing
industries have helped develop in
Japan great crowded cities. where
houses are made of wood and light
materials because of the danger
from earthquakes. From Western
countries Japan has learned how
to make steel, build ships and op-
crate production factories. But
more than half of Japan's workmen
are employed in small shops which
turn out art objects and various
knick-knacks to be sold in the
United States and other countries.

Exports to Principal

At $2,556, 900, 900
BY OLIVER MCKEE.

During the IL months ending in
August, United States exports to
Egypt, springboard of the new Brit
ish offensive aimed to drive Axis
forces out of North Africa, were
valued at $115 100000, an increase
of TAI per cent over shipments for
the year prior to August, 1899,
Commerce Department study re-
vealed yesterday.
Prepared by August Maffry, head
of the division of coordination of
international statistics, and pub
lished in Foreign Commerce Weekly.
the report analyzes foreign trade
trends during the past year as COM
pared with the first year of the war,
and the preceding II months period
Exports to the principal British
countries were valued at 1855, ,000.-
600, an increase of more than I25
per cent over the 12-month period
ending in August, 1899. In addi-
ton to gain of 156 per cent in
exports to the United Kingdom, the
report revealed striking increases in
shipments to many other British
~Empire destinations.
AS compared with the II months
previous to August, 1889, the report
reveals the following gains in ex-
ports to British countries during
the second year of the war: British
India, including Burma, 1863; Brit
ish Malaga, 1909; Union of South
Africa, 1856; British West Africa,
1908, and Canada 1913.
Other notable increases include
the following: Netherlands Indies,
1859; Portugal, 106, and the Bel
gian Congo, 361.5.
To prevent information on ship
ments of war materials from reach
ing the Axis. the Commerce De-
partment early this year stopped
publication of the destinations, by
commodities, of exports to points
outside the Western Hemisphere.
THE proportion of finished
manufactures in United States ex-
port trade exceeded two-thirds dur
ing the second year of the war and
the proportion Of all manufactures,
including semi mi-manufactures, reach
ed 86 per cent" Mr.. Maffry pointed
out" Within this general category
machinery, iron and steel mill prod
ucts and aircraft accounted for IL
per cent and II per cent, respec-
lively, of exports during the period
During the II months ending in
August, approximately two-thirds
Of our exports went to British
