France Should Restore Her Mulberry Trees . Bome years before the war, if you wandered through the vineyards and fields of Indian corn in the lower Rhone valley, you could see that between the vines and between the corn there were mulberry trees. These trees were never allowed to bear fruit and they were grown exclusively for their young leaves, which served to nourish millions of silkworms for the looms of Lyvons. L

Today almost all these mulberry trees have disappeared. They had begun to go before 1914, for it was found that cocoons could be imported cheaper from abroad than the worm could make them in France, and the trade gradually disappeared. The cost of transport and the fall of the franc ‘have now combined to make it a very profitable business to breed silkworms once more, but the mulberry trees have been cut down and it will be a year or two before they will bear enough leaves to enable the country to r¥duce its importations of silk. They certainly' added a charming note of green to the rather arid provencal = landscape, and on esthetic grounds the decision of the government to encourage thelr replanting by a subsidy would be welcomed. Mistral, it will be remembered, has some charming pages in “Mirelle” where he described the silkworm culture— L.ondon Observer. .

Tests Show How Much Good Horses Can Pull That a horse may develop as much as 21-horse power in an emergency has been demonstrated in a series of experiments conducted by the Horse Association of America. The object was to find out just how much a horse or mule could pull. o The tests showed that a team of good horses can exert a tractive pull of 2,000 pounds, or enough to iift a tonm vertically. Such pulls as theése. are not needed on ordinary roads. It was shown that on a concrete road .surface the amount of pull required to start a farm wagon, welghing with its load more than 7,700 pounds, was only 125 pounds, says London Tit-Bits.

The Influence of the road surface was demonstrated by additional experiments, which showed that to start the same load on a good brick road required a pull of 200 pounds, while 300 pounds were required’on an asphalt surface and 520 pounds on a good dirt and cinder surface. In other words, the same team can pull four times as much on a concrete road as it can on the best-surfaced dirt road. The new tests emphasized the value of breeding and of training in horses. While the value of weight in draft animals was demonstrated, a result of the tests was that gameness counted almost as much. In Wrong Both Times Before the dinner began a young man with an eyeglass and a drawl said to somebody standing near him: “Beastly nuisance, isn't it? Spoke to that fellow over there—took him for a gentleman, and found he had a ribbon on his coat. The confounded head waiter, I suppose?” ' “Oh, no,” replied the other, “that is the guest of the evening.” L - “Hang it all, is It?’ said the other. “Look here, old chap, would you mind sitting next to me at dinner and telling me who's who?" :

“Sorry I can’t, sir,” was the reply. “You see, I'm the confounded head waiter.” . Light Bread “Good morning!” ‘said an old lady, entering a baker’s shop. *“Permit me to compliment you on the lightness of your bread!” ' The baker rubbed his hands and smiled benignly. “Thank you, madam!” he said. *“lt is my aim to bake the lightest bread in this town.” _ “And you do it,” said the old lady. “If Wit gets much lighter it will take two of your pound loaves to weigh sixteen ounces!” o Whistler Slighted American artists are incensed at what appears to be discrimination on the part of the French who have relegated to a small Paris museum Whistler's famous painting, “Arrangement in Gray and Black,” a portrait of his mother. According to established custom, a decade after the death of the artist his best paintings are removed to the Louvre. Whistler has been dead two decades. ;

Not a Competency A beggar asked for a few coppers with which to get some breakfast. “But aren’t you the man to whom I gave a penny yesterday?”’ , “I wouldn’t be surprised, sir,” replied the beggar, “but I hope you didn’'t think that penny would make me independent for life.” : R a——- Mo———— ” Phetograph of the Children never grow up | Phone 103 Hieber Studio for an appointment.
