BY BEN PHLEGAR

MIAMI, Fla. - Ancient ramie,
the fiber that clothed Egyptians
way back in the time of the Pha-
raohs, is now making a comeback
after all these thousands of years.
Old as it is, the silk-like SUBJ
stance is the newest thing in
cloth for the wel-dressed man
and woman. Now, for the first
time, it is being produced, proc
essed and manufactured into
clothing in the United States.
The fiber found its way to this
country from China and the Near
East in mats, table cloths, and
ornamental cloth pieces. The JAP
anese, who imported it from the
Philippines, wove ramie with silk
to give it more weight and body.
Numerous botanical expert
ments were made in this country
to find a section where the plant
would flourish, but when World
War II started, the supply of
ramle still was wholly in the Far
East.
A concentrated effort to grow
the plant in the United States re-
suited in the discovery that the
Florida Everglades provided the
pest all-around conditions.
Several large companies set up
plantations to grow ramie. Ground
was cleared Of worthless vegeta-
ton, alligators, rattlers and water
BIRDS, and was ditched and drain
ed.

4 We The Women
Every Child Makes His Parents Nervous

ALI the dope parents get is on
how to keep from making Junior
a bundle of nerves. It is never adj
naitted that, come Juniors bed
time, it is Mama who is likely to
be tied up in knots.
GRANDMA HAD NO TROUBLE
Maybe Grandma's kids didn't
make her nervous. Or, if they did,
she was free to chase them out
II the yard to play, without worry
ing about any resulting completes.
But today's parents are all too
often shut up with their small
children in cramped living quar-
tiers, and bounded by the modern
ideas that they must answer every
child's question, however silly
and that the kids development
will be retarded if they can't turn
the living room chairs upside down.
So, of course, the grown-ups get
nervous.
But, fortunately, most parents
never dream up as simple solu-
ton to their problems as that of
just giving the kids away.
The Wilmington morning star. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1909-1990, 1946-04-10
By RUTH MILLETT

"A mldwestern couple recently
gave away their three children
TWO, three, and four year. old
because, they said, the children
made them nervous"
Perhaps the young couple didn't
realize that most parents expert
ence times when their small-fry
make them nervous. Perhaps they
thought their own case was unique.
1t wouldn't be surprising if that
were true. For parents don't, as a
rule, go around admitting that
their own kids get on their nerves.
They may tell how Johnny beat
his little sister over the head with
a baseball bat-but in the telling
the story becomes funny instead
Of exasperating, and the parents
outraged reaction to the assault
is never mentioned.
And there seems to he a con-
spiracy among those who write ad-
