UNITED STATES
GOES AHEAD AS
SILK PRODUCER
WASHIXTOX, D. C—The United
States has become the silk manu
facturing center of the world as the
result of the war, which has stimu
lated the manufacture of silk here
and in the Far East at the expense
of Europe.
A study of the silk industry, the
first official inquiry of the kind, has
ju;t been completed by the tar if t
commission.
Japan continues to lead the world
in the production of silk, while ihe
United States, first among the na
tions in its manufacture, does net
produce a single pound of the ma
terial. France continues the thief
European manufacturer of .-,i!k and
the principal source of American
imports, Japan ranking second.
The annual requirements of the
American silk industry are 20.000
tons of silk and silk waste. It.000
tons of cotton and other yarns, and
1,000 tons of metallic tin for weight
ing. Most striking of all the de
velopments due to the war has been
the expansion of the spun-silk in
lustry. The government is requir
ng vast amounts of coarse silk cloth,
made from silk noil, for making
powder bags for the big gun*
Many finer varieties of silk manu
facture are not made in this eount”y
>r else are manufactured in very
imall quantities. Switzerland sup
dies practically all of the -ilk bolt
ng cloth needed by the four r diers
>f the world. Hatter s -lush, irom
vhich is made men’s silk r.ats. copies
rom France. Silk lace sdk lMtip.g,
ilk embroideries, veils and veilings,
ibbons and handkerchief material
aregly are imported. In ■ 11 other
tranches of the industry, even the
ine wearing apparel and velvets,
he imports are relatively small c-m
ared to the total consumption.
Habutae, of which silk handker
hiefs'are made, ^ soft smooth p.vin
voven fabric of pure silk, is the
irges-t single item of silk brought
rom abroad. It has been a Jupan
se specialty for more than 1,000
■ears.
Artificial horse hair is made if
ilk in coarse single filaments. Ar
ificial si’k is made in fine filaments,
■l.ich must be combined before use.
E- SWEEPERS
PLAY IMPORTANT
PARI IN FIGHT
LONDON', April 15.—When the
story of the humble mine-sweeper
is fully told, many stirring pages will
be added to the history of anti
submarine warfare, for this little
craft is sharing the work of the
dashing destroyer and “chaser” in
running down U-boats. A mine
sweeper invariably drops its accust
omed business for the bigger game
and many an enemy submersible has
men accounted for by them.
According to official reports there
are forty times more mir.e-speepers
in commission today in the service
of the Allies than in July, 1014.
Recently a fleet of six, all trawl
ers, sighted a mine adrift. rhe
rough sea prevented the boats from
sinking the mine by gunfire, darkness
was coming on, and there was a
possibility of losing it. So the com
mander approached the mine in a
small boat, and when within some
distance of the drifting menace he
took to the water and swam ih? rest
of the way. Attaching a line to the
mine, he returned to his boat and
towed it ashore, where it was ex
ploded by rifle fire.
Often days elapse before a mine
which has been discovered can be
destroyed. In a terrific gale, with
mountainous seas running, a party
of mine-sweepers found a nest of
eight mines. The boats were unable
to use their guns on them and as
night came on the little vessels lay-to
in imminent danger of being washed
onto the engines of death. Next
day two of the mines were sunk
by gunfire, but one of the sweepers
was lost—how, the report does not
state. It was not until evening of
the fourth day that the last of the
mines was exploded.
The trawler Manx King hauled up
a mine in such a dangerous position
that one horn of the mine came
within a few inches of the boat’s rail
and another was almost touching
the gear. The slightest roll of the
vessel would have caused its destruc
tion. The difficulty was met by
lashing the mine to the sweeper, so
that it could not be bumped against
the side, and experts were sum
moned to remove the detonators
from the dangerous prize.

Unusual Conditions Resulting From
the War May Prompt City
City to Take Action.
PARIS, May 29.—Municipal hog ,
raising in Paris on a large scale may
'result from the war. Lack of effi
I
'cient transportation facilities have,
i not only held up provisions needed
by the housewife and made 'hem
dearer, but have delayed the gar- i
i bage before the front doors until i; j
has compelled universal attention to 1
its immense volume as well as *o ;iie'
inconvenience from its overstay in
the street.
. Hog raising has been proposed as
; a remedy for the lack of food and,
i the superabundance of rotting waste. I
i Vegetable garbage and greasy sub- ^
1 stances in the boxes over 'which j a
; Parisians have been stumbling night-; I
i ly since the war began would, it is j
! asserted, fatten 100,000 hogs each ;
j year, and pork is now worth fifty j
I cents a pound.
■ Thousands of errant dogs nourish,
| themselves on the contents of gar
| bage boxes, and a great many of the
dogs have been spreading hydro
phobia.
The proposal embraces municipal ^
markets for the sale of the fresh,
pork, eliminating middlemen’s profit j ;
and providing competition against |
dealers who, in spite of all efforts | i
to control retail prices, have found j *j
means of steadily pushing up profits. ! J
It is estimated that the gross rev- j *i
enue from the enterprise would be ; ^
100,000,000 francs a year, all of it *j
1
nearly clear gain for the city.
