They are the last of London's weavers, survivors of a once flourishing colony of some 30,000 people Inhabiting Bethnal Green and Spltal-fieldTheir usual work Is the weavof silk cloth for expensive necking exties and Jewish praying-shawlported In large numbers to Europe and America. But there are Important occasions, such as the weddings, when the weaver folk of Bethnal Green are roused to unusual activity, and then all other work Is set aside. Only these old weavers can make the exquisite silk velvets required, and they still keep as souvenirs remnants of the material made for the coronations and weddings of Queen Victoria, King Edward VII, and King George V. - icent JEAN NEWTON silk-pil- e d ROUGE AND LIPSTICK HAND IN HAND WITH ARMIES AND NAVIES Tit-Bi- "Gloomy Dean of St. Paul's, Very Her. William Ralph Inge, has paid us a great compliment The Dean gave a radio address on the subject "What I Would Do With the World." He has plans, you see for making the world over, the Idea being of course an improvement on the present product And what do you suppose would be the chief object of his very exalted attention, if he were allowed to rule the world? Why, rouge, lipsticks, armies and navies Those are the prime disturbing factors In the present state of things, if the available report of his address Is accurate, which the dean would abolish In the effort to Improve the world for rouge and lipstick are TIIE 1 ts s. s, ! aesthetically offensive. we are no shrinking violet Our best friends would not make that accusation against us.

Now p, Ths Rise of Sap la Trees The exact cause of the rise of sap in the stem of trees Is one of the problems of vegetable physiology that botanists have not yet been able to solve, says the Washington Star. The upward movement of crude sap toward the leaves Is mainly through the ducts in the woody portion of the stem, while the downward flow of the elaborated sap from the leaves takes place chiefly through certain vessels in the layer Just under the bark. It must not be supposed that the flow of sap Id plants Is analagous to the circulation of blood In animals. There Is no central organ, like the heart, to regulate Its flow, and the water taken up by the roots does not make one continual circuit of the plant body, but is distributed by general diffusion, partly through Into the air through the leaves and partly through the plant body as food, wherever It Is needed, I The Pokeberry The pokeberry, Phytolacca amerl-can- a, also known as Inkberry or garget, Is a perennial that dies to the earth each year and attains a height of three to eight feet The root Is thick and somewhat poisonous but the young succulent shoots are sometimes used as a substitute for asparagus. The white flowers are In king racemes and are followed by dark purple juicy berries a quarter of ao inch In diameter. These are not poisonous.
