It was learned last night that owing to A
guerilla warfare Of strikes by the Journeymen
Stonecutters' Union which has not signed the
arbitration agreement Of the Employers AS
ISOLATION many Of the employers are In favor
Of again declaring a shutdown OF all building.
A special meeting Of the board or governors Of
the Employers Association has been called for
Monday at the Building Trades Club. No. LIB

This Intention was precipitated by complaints
Of the Mason Builders Association that strikes
were beng ordered constantly by the Journey
men Stone Cutters Union on buildings where
members OF the new unions Of housesmiths and
engineers were working. The mason builders
are general contractors. and subet this work
to the mason stonecutters. The journeymen

by the Employers Association that they could

represented in the Employers Association, and
have signed an agreement with their employees.
one provision of which. it is alleged. allows
them to 90 on sympathetic strikes.
The meeting Of mason builders last evening
vas exciting. and some radical propositions
were made Some Of the mason builders wanted
to urge the board Of governors TO call another
shutdown. 1t was finally decided to leave the
matter In the hands Of the board of governors
after some recommendations were made. An
officer OF the Mason Builders Association made
the following statement after the meeting was
over:
The journeyrnen stonecutters have begun a
series of guerilla strikes. which would be end
less II we did not take decisive action of some
kind. The present state Of affairs must be
changed at any cost The bgicklayers who are
willing 10 work, cannot work a number OF
buildings because the stone cutters won't work.
We could not order shutdown and don't like
the IGea Of throwing people who are willing 10
work idle We leave the matter, however, to the
board Of governors"

Women Who Ride AStrislc.

Should women in the hunting field
ride astride? Those chiefly concerned
have more or less settled the point by
deciding that they may if they wish,
for there is an apprcciablc number Of
women in England today who habitual-
ly ride astride after hounds They do
so not with the desire to look manly.
hu1 simply because it is easier to do Il
hard days hunting seated firmly
aStridc than seated Sideways The fem
mime appearance is strictly preserved
by an ingenious arrangement of the
skirt. which falls on either side Of the
horse After all ladies Go not ride bi-
cycles sideways. Accidents to women
who ride astridc are few and far be-
tween. The point of the hunting habit
nowadays is that it must have a safety
skirt which shall prevent its wearer be-
ing chung up in case of accident. The
safety skirt is. as Il matter of fact. not
skirt at all. but a covering more or
less of the apron type that Stimulates
the old flowing drapery habit of years
ago. which WAS the cause of so many
agoniZing accidents to women in the
hunting Philadelphia Inquirer.

Children'a Reading.

Many mothers fail to realize the i'm
portance of carefully supervising their
childrens reading. They seem to forget
that properly selected food for tic
brain is as necessary as suitable nour-
ishment fo, the body If from the be
ginning only the best books are put into
the child's hands a taste for the bes,
will be cultivated which will stand him
in good stead through life. Later, when
he is left free to browse for himself in
libraries stocked with all sorts and con
ditions of books. he will naturally Sc
lcct the good from the bad.
Books serve many purposes i'll 4
child's development aside from the cul-
tivation of good taste in literature and
the accumulation of knowledge The
wise mother knows that they are her
greatest allies in cultivating patriotism.
in quickenng the imagination and in

that she can make her child strong

The eye of newborn infant turns at
once toward the light, significant in
more ways than one of the future
needs of its being. The eyes of a baby
at birth are but imperfectly developed; :;
the eyebrows and cyelaslcs are short
and thin: the eyclids are almost trans
parent and allow much light to pass
through them: the iris is Very imper
feet and lacks the pigment which
comes with the growth of the baby.
1t is the lack of this pigment that
makes the eyes of all newborn infants
of the same color-nanely. Il dark blue.
The light. which is the natural stim
ulus to the eye. if too strong becomes
an enemy to the young. Infants should
learn to use their eyes little by little.
the same as they learn to use their
limbs The resting place of the baby
should be turned away from the light
of the window and so directed that no
strong rays of light will fall directly
on the eye. Especially should the eyes
be protected from artificial light.

Never put anything on the teeth UNI

an oily skin.
Don't be afraid Of soap. II is not the
enemy to the complexion that many
people consider it. 1t is infinitely better
for the skin than the dirt which will
collect In the pores.
Don't use sponge. 1t no longer fills
long felt want on the toilet table be-
cause it is apt to become filled with
germs poisonous to the skin. Use bit
Of antiseptic cloth or the hands.
An excellent dentifrice is made from

Of hot water. two ounces Of tincture Of
