Monday of not necessarily ARBOR DAY this week was Arbor Day. a day for relaxation but a This national holi day on which the r dents, get busy planting trees, shrubs and flowers and Others beautifying the residence properties of the citv and country.

The nations capital recently was invaded in a skirmish of the conflict skirmishers women in what might be called the Battle of the Boycott. Advocating a boycott of Japanese silk, Washington debutantes staged a teatime style show entitled Life Without Silk, demonstrating fashions in cotton and rayon. On the same day, an delegation of Philadelphia silk mill workers paraded in the capital, pleading Buy silk and save our jobs. "Whichever view the public holds on the boycott, it has suddenly realized that silk, even in the typically. American manufactures of sheer hose or pink and lacy underwear, has an exotic international background, says the National Geographic society. In a representative year, 1035, to keep American silk mills rolling and American shoppers silken-clathe United States imported raw silk, in skeins reeled from the silkworms cocoon, from five countries: Japan, China, Italy, Switzerland, and Palestine. Other silk producing countries are France, Hungary, Greece, Turkey, Spain, India, and Syria. The United States is the worlds largest silk importer. Undressing the Dead. This vast international com merre is supported by a thread a gossamer filament nf fragility, ro that one pound of it would reach 000 miles. It is obtained by undressing the dead silkworm unraveling the cocoon which he has patiently spun as a dressing gown to lounge in until the worm turns into a moth and his wings are ready for public appearance. For the silkworm isnt really a worm at all, but a baby moth, a scion of the ancient and honorable family of insects. To mistake his identity ij natural, for the silkworm comes from a long line of insect magicians. As a climax to his stunt which is far more astounding than lifting rabbits out of a hat he can perform the famous hidden wing trick which is a specialty of his d family: ns a mere hairless caterpillar he enters a cocoon with nothing up his sleeve, then emerges as an ashy white moth with a pair of antennae, two paira of wings, and three pairs of legs. Secret of success in the silk industry is to stop his stunt midway. If the silkworm moth is allowed to escape from his cocoon, the thread is broken and the silk almost useless. So he is drowned In boiling water as soon as his silk is spun. To most insects, mans reactions are mainly on the angry side, ranging from irritation to murder. Only the bee and the silkworm have been domesticated, and it is hardly his tender bond of friendship with the human race for which the bee is famous. The silkworm, on the other hand, is an honored guest in the home of man, born and bred under the same roof, fed by human hands on his favorite food, and finally he monopolizes his hosts attention for constant feeding during 20 hours a day. Then he rewards this hospitality by giving away the very shirt off his back in other words, Washington. Secretary of Interior Ickes has sung the swansong for the picturesque cowboys who ride the western range for Uncle Sam. Automobiles, he announced, will replace horses as the range riders mounts this spring. His announcement put it this way: When the federal range riders swing into action this spring the patter of horses feet will be supplemented by the putter of motorcars. The chaps, the spurs, the bandanna and the wide sombrero accoutrements of the cowboys famed in song and story will be laid away among the moth balls, relics of a day. The aa he was known when cowmen were building the West, soon may join the Indian scout of Kit Carsons day in history. About the only places left him now in his typical attire are the dude ranches and Hollywood movie lots. In motorizing his cowhands, Ickes will be following the example set by' modem cattle rustlers, who have turned to trucks and automobiles to raid ranchers herds and peed stolen cattle to market. Increased economy in patrolling and surveying wide areas, some with roads and some without, will be attained by providing the range rider with instead of Ickes transportation, said. The horse, however, will not completely pass out of the picture. IckeS conceded there are places a horse can go where an automobile can't. So, he said, when the range rider hits the trail this spring in his automobile his favorite horse will enjoy the scenery from a trailer. When the ranger has driven his automobile to the end of the road he will mount hia horse to push on into the badlands. This, Ickes said, will insure greater efficiency in the riding of 120,000,000 acres of federal range land upon which 9,000,000 cattle, sheep, horses and goats graze. The range riders are the of the great open spaces. They supervise brandings, are present to settle disputes and hunt down hustlers.

In Japan, where of the world's raw silk is produced, the silkworm is the most valuable live stock. Silkworm culture was kidnaped from China many centuries ago, ac' cording to tradition. Each cocoon is about the size and shape of a big peanut shell. It consists of a single continuous thread of silk from 500 to 1,300 yards long. The silk mill whose output surpasses mans cleverest imitations starts life in a pink egg which turns gray before it hatches and is so small that it needs the added weight of about 39.099 brother eggs to tip the scales at one' ounce. The worm is hatched in an incubator, appearing as a tiny larva no fatter than hairs. Immediately a banquet of mulberry leaves is spread over the wicker tray in which the tiny forms wiggle, and the ravenous munching of invisible jaws is audible. After five days of continuous nibbling, the silkworm finds his interior a little too large for his exterior, and seeks the anaesthesia of sleep for his growing pains. During the nap his skin cracks neatly- down the back, and he backs out of his discarded jacket and orders a double portion' of mulberry leaves. On the sixth, twelfth, eighteenth, and twenty-sixth days of his existence he brings out a new edition of himself. For a final snack before he begins spinning, he devours 20 times his own weight in mulberry leaves. three-fourt- hs - Youth Depends on Cecs to Pay College Tuition Jackson, Mich.

STEVENSON Various attempts have been made to solve tiie problem of New Yorks Curmany late theater comers. tains advertised to go up at 8:40 are held until 8:50 or even 9 oclock and still the tardy ones, usually with seats in the center of a row, come straggling in to the vast annoyance of1 those already in their places. Now, according to Variety, managers of legitimate houses are contemplating going into a huddle with the Broadway association to tee if there isnt some remedy for the nuisance. The idea in mind is the 9:30 or 10 oclock curtain. To make up for the lost time and to bring the final cur- tain near the usual hour, the plays would be streamlined by shorten-- . ing or doing away with intermissions. Two main causes for theater tardiness are given. One is the increasing habit of late dining,- More and more New Yorkers are taking to the habit of eating in the continental fashion. That is, leisurely. The result is they do not think about the theater until the first act is well under way, or' tfot an end. Frequently the movies are a compromise, the late shows in various midtown houses, especially Radio City Music hall, attracting white-ti- e and ermine audiences. The other main cause for lateness is traffic conThe theaters are mostly gestion. west of Broadway or very close to The smart dining Broadway. places are on the East Side. At theater hour, cross-tow- n traffic is a series nf jerks with long waits in between. In a number of establishments, theater dinners are served. The head waiter is notified as to what play is to be visited. From his time-tablhe ascertains the curtain e, time and then connives with the chef to get the diners out in due season. n In a number of establishs are disments, curtain played. But all that entails hurry and New Yorkers, when dining, dont like to hurry no matter what their habits may be on other occasions. So the move for the late curtains. And if they do go into effect, the usual number of show-off- s will continue to stumble over feet and seats in the middle of the act. At least, thats my guess. mid-tow- ' ' There must be malcular image on each 1st FIXATION eye. 2nd gadgets despite their small size. There are electrical appliances of various kinds, from orange juicers to clocks, of course. The latest Ive noted is a vegetable bin. When I was a youngster, the vegetable bin was in the cellar and it was my spring job to go down there and sprout and sort the potatoes. But New Yorkers dont have cellar storage space except for trunks, etc. Also, New Yorkers move frequently and like to take their belongings with them. That applies to vegetable bins as well as suction ventilators for kitchen windows. two-do- or One thing Ive never been able to understand is why New York landlords do not furnish window screens. Weve lived in apartments in several different locations and in each weve had to supply our own fly barriers. A few tenants, with long leases or careless of expense, install screens on their own. The rest of us buy the extension kind which can be moved to another location. But which are not very efficient in keeping flies out. These figures were given by Mohanicd Afzal Hussain in his presidential address to the entomology section of the Science congress here. The number of existing species u( insects in India could not be less than 2.500,000, he said-- - Of these only 40,000 species, it was estimated, had been studied in India. COMFORT attention Dr. W. H.

The girls in the sorority house were shocked when Ingrid came down to a formal dinner dressed in the holoko and without shoes. I don't care what any one says, Miss Larsen explained.
