GONE FAMOUS KEIL, | PRIDE OF GERMANS _— Great Seaport a Wretched and| Desolate Spot i Kiel, Aug. §.— German-Americans | who frequent the lobbies of hotels in Berlin, can often be heard remarking that Germany has won the war.

In normal times, Kiel had 50,000 naval officers, saifors and emploves n the harbor at all time. Now the ases 5.

The last time, the little vessel car- ried 14 men, seven women and three children bound for a paradise on earth,where neither tax gatherersnor strikes disturb. “We had to come back because the women could not stand the rough weather,” one of the pioneers de- clared and with this the wemen agreed.

The same provision is made regarding all other international commissions created under the Ver- -ailles treaty. cace Resolution Duplicate. The treaty text of about 1,500 words is largely devoted to a repetition of the peace resolution all of whose mani- fold provisions:for preservation of American privileges are recognized at Versailles and for retention of seized German property, are confirmed by Germany.

In announcing the successful resuit of eriments, Arthur D. Little, Inc., chemists and engineers, of thi said the silk was not very strong and that there was no present industrial value in the process involved. It was more or less the product of chemistry at play, but a contribution also to philosophy in providing the fallacy of tha oid proverb. In reciting the factors that entered into the transition of sows’ ears from silk purse such as a woman might carry, the chemists explained that the first step was to analyze the silkworm’s method of making silk. This done, its cater- pillar chemistry was copied in the lab- orator. It was found that man had to pro- vide a substitute for a process by which the silkworm exudes from two fine ducts in its head, minute threads of a voscous liquid, coated with an- other secretion, which are cemented into a double strand. This becomes a firm filament of silk when it coagu- lates on reaching the ai Analysis of thi§ viscous liquid show- ed it to be like glue and with some- what similar chemical properties. The sows’ ear being chiefly gristle and skin, also has the natural elements of glue. This was obtained from the ears and it was put throusgh several processes of preparation, filtered under pressure and placed in spinning apparatus of a special design. The solution of glue and chemicals came out as 16 very fine colorless streams, jointed into one composite fibre, treated to give it strength and color, and processed yet again to ob- tain the desired soft, silky feet.

Many of thess buildings are neglected be- vong dsscription. “Their school term averages 137 days a vyear as against 187 days a year for city children. The average daily attendance for city school chil- dren is 80 per cent., while for coun- try children it is 65 ver cent. “All this is greatly complicated by the question-of child labor on the farm. It is estimated that one mil- lion and a half of country children are engaged in farm labor to their detriment and kept out of school. For this reason, illiteracy is twice as great in rurai as in urban territory. “The country boy or girl is getting only about one-half the teaching ability. less than half the supervision and not quite half the efficient admin- istration of school affairs that is everywhere accorded the more fortu- nata city child. “That country children prosper as well as they do is due more largely to the wholesome influence of the average country home than to any advantage in the one-teacher school.

The 19th amendment to the Constitution was officially pro- claimed August 26, 1920. All agreed that during the year women voters everywhere had begun slowly but surely to find their place in the political councils and organi- zations of the parties. An awakened political consciousncss among both men and women and a new dignity in political affairs generally were among the things accomplished by women in that short time, they said. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt of the National League of Women Voters and the National American Women Suffrage association, said that women have begun to find their place in the management of the affairs of the two dominant political parties of the coun- try. “While our progress in that direc- tion has not been compiete,” she said, “we believe that we have complish- ed much in that direction Many women have been somewhat discour- aged Ly the treatment they have re- ceived from the professional men politicians in their lecalities.
