SCIENCE MAKES SILK
PURSE OUT OF SOW’S EAR
NEW YORK, June 25—Modern sci
ence has disapproved the old aphorism
that you can’t make a silk purse out
of a sow’s ear”, Prof. Alexander Sil
verman, head of the department of
chemistry in the University of Pitts
burg, says in a statement describing
America’s advance to world leadership
in the natural and artificial silk man
ufacture.
A Boston chemist, resenting the
pessimism of the proverb, has literal
ly made a beautiful colored silk purse
in this way. He obtained the ears of
a western abbatoir, extracting the
geletine, purified it ,hardened it with
formaldehyde, rendered it flexible
with glycerine, and dyed and spun the
resulting filaments.
“While artificial silk is not manu
factured commercially from sow’s
ears,” Prof. Silverman points out,
“this example of the fallacy of a time I
worn saying should bring us a further
realization of what science can do to
furnish the proof.”

CRACK BELOW ITS EAR
CAIRO June 25—The world-famous
6,000 year old Sphinx of Gizeh, is suf
fering from senile decay of the neck.
A crack has appeared just below the
| ears according to experts of the Egyp
tian Antiquities Service, which if left
! alone, will probably soon extend to a
great depth.
It is understood that the minister of
j public works has giyen instructions
I for the necessary measures to be im

I age.
j Archeologists believe that the fa
mous semblage is a great rock which
probably always bore some resemb
lance to a human head and was carved
to accentuate and define this some
four thousand years before Christ.
