Gets Home-Grown Silk Intended for Film Beauties
Lovelies Sacrifice Those Sheer Stockings They Dreamed Of and Drape Underpinnings With Cotton. ,

sad case of the desperate movie
though the patriotic movie beauties are not complaining, they're still faced with the imm prospect of blurring their pretty underpin. ning with cotton stockings. The story, as revealed by ‘Willy de Mond, the Hollywood silk hosiery magnate, is an interesting one. Having achieved fame by manufacturing a $2500 pair of diamond studded hosiery for Alice Faye, instituting a 24-hour delivery service for picture lovelies with runners, and making hosiery to order Yor Claudette Colbert, Gail Patrick and dozens of other beauties, it was inevitable that de Mond should be approached to make a two-reel movie about his business.

That was in 1938. Paramount did the producing. The picture was called “From Cocoons to the StockMost of it was
farm of Dale and Glenn Hurst, near Escondido, Cal. The Hursts had 100,000 super mulberry trees growing on a 254-acre ranch and several million worms weaving silk, plus thousands of dollars worth of labor saving equipment. They were making silk, all right, but having their troubles selling it, largely because of the opposition of Japanese silk interests. The farm closed when the Hursts ran out of money. De Mond did not give up. He contacted the manufacturers with whom he had done business and the beauties whom he had sold stockings of a surpassing sheerness. “And I collected a total of $240,000 to put that silk farm back in business,” he said. Bad News for Japan De Mond said the farm now included a plant with 50,000 square feet of floor space, incubators to produce 5,000,000 silk worms per

year, machines to do the work of thousands of Japanese operating by hand, and an annual capacity of 506,000 pounds of raw silk. “It is a wonderful place,” de Mond said. “Those Hurst boys know their silk business and they're turning out such silk as Japan never was able to produce. And much cheaper. “The government stepped in and ordered every ounce of silk we could produce. The army and navy are using it for powder bags. “Even so we are proud. The last available quotation on Japanesepierced cocoons was 85 cents a pound. We produced bigger, better cocoons for 15 cents a pound. That'll help fix those Japs from now on.

WE'LL DO IT AGAIN, DOOLITTLE PLEDGES
SOMEWHERE ON THE PACIFIC COAST, May 25 (U, P.).—Brig. Gen. James H. Doolittle, who led the America nbombing raids on Tokyo, promised yesterday that “other Japanese and other German objectives” will be subjected to similar attaeks. Speaking on the NBC army hour, Gen. Doolittle said he could not tell how the attack was carried out. “The most important fact is that it was done—and will be done again to other Japanese and German objectives,” he said. “Now let me talk to the men and women who built the planes. Those are the best planes in the world. The Japanese pursuit ships that came up after us never had a chance.” Gen. Doolittle said the North American B-25 bombers used in the raid on Japan “can take it in battle and they can dish it out.” “We depend upon the ships you make as much as we depend on ourselves,” he said. “We can devote all our thinking to flying and carrying out our military missions. We don’t have to worry about our planes, because we know they're the
