Seattle, Wash., Jan. 6.—Breaking all
records for silk importations to the
United States, and establishing a rec-
ord that places Seattle as the great-
j est silk port of this country, the Ad-
I miral Oriental Line carried on its
• trans-Pacific service silk valued at
i /
approximately $100,000,000 , during
1922, ,
While the total importation thru
Seattle will reach nearly $180,000,000
this establishes a new mark.. During
1921 only $110,000,000 worth; was im-
* -
ported through this port In 1920 the
■ -i • . ,v ,
total number of bales imported was
sixty per cent of 1921; yet Jthe high
price of silk brought its value up to
$113,000,000. During the three months
including July, August ahd September
i approximately $93,000,000 -#orth of
L silk was shipped from Japan and
[ $63,000,000 was cleared through Seat-
( tie, the remaining shipments going
, through other ports. Tb* establish-
. ment of Seattle, aa the silk port of the
l United States, is principklly due to
the Admiral Oriental Line, and its
newly installed service to the Orient
Its speedy new passenger and freight
ships have done more to bring the
Orient nearer than any other medium
and it is responsible for building up
this, mammoth trade.
! The transportation of silk is the
most important business on the Pa-
i cific today. The high value of the
; commodity^ plus the insurance, neces-
; sitates speed and care in its delivery
.
from the Orient to the factory. So
- great is the value of time in its move-
ment, that minutes mount into dollars
i when any delay is experienced. As
the huge trans-Pacific liners move
t slowly to their docks, hatches; are un-
I covered and sling loads of Silk are
waiting to be discharged^ and before
the steamer is moored to the wharf
the work of unloading begins. Special
police guards watch over the bales
E as they are taken from the holds of
the ship, loaded on trucks and hur-
j ried to the waiting cars. Every care
; is exercised in the handling of the
shipment to prevent damage from
water, fire, theft or other causes, and
men work at rapid pace to store it
safely in the cars,

AMERICA’S CREED

I believe in the UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA as
government of -the people, by
the people, for the people;
whose just powers are derived
... • v
from the consent of the gov- *
erned; a democracy in a re-
public; a sovereign * nation
of many sovereign states;
a perfect union, one and in- i
separable; established upon j
those principles of freedom, j
equality, justice and human-
ity for which American patri-
ots sacrificed their lives and
fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my
duty to my country to love
it, to support its constitution,
to obey its laws, to respect its,
flag, and to defend it against
all enemies.—William Tylar

Mad Almost Too Much Learning.

extremely rare. The extraordinary

all the mathematicians guessing. He
could read at three; at four he coul4
*peak Latin, French and German; at
seven he knew Greek and Hebrew; at
eleven be had written a dictionary of
the laat two tongues; at thirteen he
was sending contributions to the vari-
ous learned societies, etc. Finally, at
nineteen, on Sept. 5, 1740, having
learned apparently all there was to
know, he died. That’s irhat much
learning leads to. >
