OROTANA KGN IO PRONINEE Winning Back Place as Premier Silk Port‘ Washington, D, C., Sept. 5.—Yoko- nama {s winning back her position a8 premier silk port of Japan. On Beptember 1, 1923 the earthquake practically obliterated Yokohama as & thriving city of 423,000 souls. In than a year she has practically re- covered her chief business, silk ex- port. “Japan, the land of the rice paddy, /became Japan, the land of mulberry orchards, to satisty the wishes of American women,” says a bulletin from Washington, D. C, head- quarters of the National Geographic Soclety. “For thousapnds of years silk was the cloth of quéens. Today what s once a princess’ dowry of silks |8 the property of nearly every steno- grapher of any metropolis in the United States.

Jap- anese, however, love the soft, rain- like sound produced by thousands of worms, earnestly eating. Store Millions in Homes, “Bgrring gluttony, the ‘heaven worm' is as domesticated as a good dog. Silk worms are raised in shal- low rice straw baskets with narrow rims, yet the Japanese store millions |of them on shelves in their homes with perfect asurance that the spark of adventure will never prompt them to roam abread and underfoot. Scl- entifically, their fast-traveling fuzzy American cousin is wild by com- parison, i “Silk culture is a pin-money in- dustry in Japan because it mainly employs mothers, mothers-in-law, grandmothers, great-grandmothers, and children, during a short period {of the year, seldom more than a month and a half.
