The way out came in the form of a brief note delivered to her one morning two weeks before her wedding day.

(Associated Press CorreapondenL ( 8HANGHAI iJPi. The""nationalist government has sponsored an ambitious plan to recapture China's ancient supremacy in the world silk trade. Silk making was developed In China 3000 years ago." ' Fof centuries no other country knew the secret of feeding mulberry leaves to silkworms. Today Japan's silk exports exceed those of China and competition with several other nations threatens to drive the Chinese from second place. Now that civil warfare appears to have ended with the establishment of the national government, the Chinese silk princes are striving to regain their lost leadership. Urgent are their requests that the government encourage silk producing by founding more rearing and demonstration stations in parts of the country suitable for silk culture. Several such already exist. They are being operated by the international committee - for the Improvement of sericulture In China, a group composed of foreign and Chinese silk merchants who ten years ago organized to cooperate " for improvements in the industry. Through various stations in Kiang-s- u and Cheklang the international committee each year sells or distributes gratis thousands of healthy silkworm layings to the farmers, thus demonstrating the value of selected seed. It also is attempting to educate the people concerning the nature of pebrtne disease, the most maglignant enemy of the delicate silkworm. s Pebrlnc and two or three 'other highly contagious diseases are said at present to infect from 76 per cent to 80 per cent of China's silkworm eggs and are declared to be the chief cause of China's decline as a silk- supplying nation; ' y ' ' Id-Walker South ancTMam Streets Ninth J? 0 am rrriiiupsq ForTVoubWa sua to A idoiomw- HiMWIM Y y - ( i 4.
