Silk Worms in America Must Work Year Around LOS ANGELES. (AP) Southwestern United States some day will become one or the great est sources of supply for raw ma terials for the silk industry but American methods will extend the operations to a year "round basis. This is the opinion of Mary G. In Kersol. University of Southern fcal ifornia i nslruftor. Until recently the United States had doue little in sericulture, but a silk enterprise has been launch ed at Eseondidn while mill are operating at Hermoa Itpa.h Glendale and Los Angeles. "The Vottaue' system of the Orient will find little favor here". Miss Inpersoll says, "since it op erates only a few weeks of the year. The most primitive meth ods are used in the Far Best." Under proposed American meth ods the silk farms will be operat ed on an intensive scale, while the mills will be kept in operation the entire year. number is considerably increased. Only one . man who has escaped during the past year is now at large. "W. E.

The accompanying design for a five-room house has won favor with- a number of dis criminating home builders. The exterior is attractive and the house is particularly adapted to a corner lot, though it will fit nicely on any well located 50x 100 foot site. Size may be al tered to suit the needs of the builder without affecting the beauty of the design. Stucco may be used to advantage in place of shingles it the builder prefers this material. iii - ilgoil- run The layout of the rooms is well suited to the average sized family . The living room is of ample size and connects nicely with the hallway leading to other parts of the house. The two chambers are well placed and each ia equipped with good closet space and with cross ventilation. The dining room is light and airy and may bj made supplementary to the living room for entertainment purposes. The kitchen has the u ual service appointments well arranged and its connection with the hallway will prove a convenience to the housekeeper.
