the Ford Motor Company at famed Greenfield Village. The silk Industry in the United States is making its Igst stand at Greenfield Village. At one time, in ’ the early 1800 s, silk worm culture and silk spinning were important facets of New England economy. There had been an attempts to

• transfer the predominantly Japanese Industry to America. The difficulties of raising, mulberry trees and worms, however, forced most. New England mills out of business by the middle pf the nineteenth centtfry. One of those mills, the last in the country and the fli-st to be powered, was moved bodily to Village in 1935. Under the close) supervision bf the late itenry Ford, who was developing the American history museum, the building and its machinery were restored. ’ ;The mill, built more than 140 years ago by the Hanks family in Mansfield, Conn., is pot an imposing structure from ' the stand- ■ point of size. | Looking much like an oversized garage, the white frame building ■ dozes under the trees in Greenfield ' Village. closer look reveals the ■ hand-blown glass windows, the ' aire-hewn beams and lathing. I Most fascinating feature of the , mill, aside from the worms themselves, is the hand-wrought machinery. Gears, cams, shuttles and ' most other moving parts are ' carved df hardwood. The few metal ' parts, such as axles, were forged I ; almost two centuries ago. The Hanks mill is now driven • by an electric motor, tucked away ! inconspicuously in a corner of the j building.-When it operated in New England, however, the motive pow--1 er was a water wheel. - It w'as the first power-driven j silk mill in this country. Both the mulberry trees and the worms were iin ported from Greece,-! where silk culture is still being at- j tepipted. The trees were planted i ih a grove behind the mill, and I now stand at their full height of ■ about 15 feet. \ The worins, in all stages, of growth from freshly-hatched eggs to sleepy three and one-half inch gourmets, are kept in the mill’s Bdsement, under close temperature and humidity control. The’growth period of an average silk worm lasts about joio month. During that time, the worm sheds its skin four Uimes. Finally, the worm grows sleepy, cfaw-ls to a 'tree branch and begins spinning a cocoon, \As it spins, the worm becomes a pupa, and if allowed to live inside the cocopn, emerges in ;\twb weeks moth. This year;\ the Hanks mill will turn out silk thread to make several pairs of mens*’ hose. Although cocoon gives between 800 and 1,(700 yards of silk, the strands are so fine that this ! year’s production will amount to only about 28 pounds. - ■ J ■ , - f | • While army medical therapy hasbeen successful In suppressing many primary attacks, some veterans retorning from Korea may develop mal4ria as .-much as 300 days after infection by mosquitoes in the battle zone. \

Long-Dry Stale To Vole On Repeal Law Mississippi Votes Aug. 26 On Repeal JACKSON, Miss, UP — A struggle between wet and dry reminiscent of the days of Carry Nation is in progress here as Mississippi prepares to decide by vote Aug. 26 whether to repeal ltd 60-year-old prohibition statute. Mississippi is one of the last two dry states in the nation, the other being Oklahoma. The 1952 state legislature put it Jp to the public whether it wants a county option liquor law or better means of combating widespread bootlegging. The United Drys Association, a union of. all temperance groups in the state, immediately began what they call a “grass roots’ campaign to “keep Mississippi dry.”

Circulars, some of them depicting the old “whiskey snake” that helped bring on national prohibition after World War I, are being distributed from door to door. Ministers are preaching the dry cause from the pulpit. Fosters are appearing in church vestibules. Bumper signs are common on cars announcing in red and black letters: “For the sake of my family I will vote against whiskey.” In one city 300 teen-agerg marched through town, carrying banners saying: “For our sake vote dry.” One circular tel png voters to "Beware 6f the repeal trap” shows pictures of two “candidates" Which it says are the, real issues in the vote. One, “Repeal’s Whiskey Politician,” a pulled-down hat brim and ostentatious with diamonds and jewelry, is slyly slipping a bottle of booze Into his coat pocket with one hand and holding a wad of bills in the other. In contrast “Prohibition’s Citizen” is a clean-cut young man with a straightforward smile.

"Which do you want?” the circular * - Proponents for repeal, on the other hand, say, “How can you keep Mississippi dry when it is already running wet?” A state senator who urged passage of the referendum law charged that “nothing could be worse than the situation we now have.” “It has come tp a point,” he said, “where the bootleggers are corrupting all levels of government in the state. You can’t get rid of whiskey, so let's put some kind of control on it” Cracked another lawmaker: “Mississippi will always remain dry as long as they can stagger to the polls and vote dry.” The largest enclosed public park Id the world, Phoenix Park, Dublin, has an area of 1760 acres and the highest monument, the Welling obelisk, 209 feet in height. Sixty million pounds of meat ares consumed in America eachday, enough to fill 15,000 two-ton trucks.
