TO WIN HER SMILES


Fight to a Finish.
To win the smiles Of young woman in
the employ of the Gem Garment Company
two youthful employees, hardly out of their
teens. had genuine prize fight on the fifth
floor Of the building formerly occupied by
the garment company yesterday. The Gem
Garment Company. of which Mayor Book
walter is president, is moving to the Cen
fury building and 1t was the vacated floor
Of the old location that furnished the arena
for the contest with gloves between Roy
McCutcheon and Edward Willis.
The match was carried on in regular
fashion with Marquis Of Queensberry rules
Harry Thomas acted as referee. 1t was
agreed that the loser was to cease paying
attention to the girl, VINO was the cause
Of the fight. At the end of the fifth round
the dozen or more spectators saw that Nc
Cutcheon was more familiar with the
gloves than his opponent. Willis finally
went to the floor and took the count. The
two principals left the ring together with
the referee apparently friends.

Committee of Textile Workers Call on
 Mayor of Philadelphia.

Philadelphia Pa, June IA com mittee of seven textile workers, headed by Edward Thornton, member of the executive committee of the Central Textile ,{orkers union yesterday wait ed on Mayor Weaver in reference to the existing strike. The mayor was as sured that they were willing to meet a committee of manufacturers at any time to discuss the question at issue and to effect, if possible, an amicable settlement of the strike.
 The mayor expressed his pleasure at the manner in which the host of strik- CTS have conducted themselves. He told them that the observance of law was the surest method of winning sympathy and he hoped to see a satis- factory solution of the difficulty soon.
 John and James Dobson, who oper- ate a cloth and carpet mill in the Manayunk district, >oday advised their men that tho mill would be indefinitely closed The firm employs more than 5000 operatives.
 Five additional mills granted the demands of the strikers today, making a total of seventy-six which have thus far made concessions. About 50 per cent of tho upholstery firms have re- ceded.

PROMINENT DEMOCRAT
 URGES PARTY HARMONY

New York. June 7.-(speciai.) )-"Unity
 New York, June 6,-(Special) )-"Unity upon the vital issues of the day." was the reply of MT. Nathan straus, the great dry goods merchant yesterday to the ques- tion. What Is now in your opinion the first duty of the democratic leaders?'
 MT. Straus continued T cannot recall the period when 1t is more incumbent on the democratic party and upon all who believe in the principles of popular gov ernment not theoretically but practically, to unite in defense of those principles than 1t is at the present time Democracy is very far from being bankrupt in poli- cies with which to appeal to the country. First of all there is tariff reform By that I mean the reduction of duty on those schedules which are manlfestly too high and which can get along without the protection now extended to them A tariff for revenue with incidental protec- tion is the true. traditional democratic policy. Jefferson proclaimed 1t in 1920, when he writes: As to the tarif, I should say admit none but a metallic cir culation that will take it's proper level with the like circulation in other coun- tries, and then our manufacturers may work in fair competition with those of other countries and the import duties which the government may lay for the purposes of revenue will so far place them above equal competitions. Protec- tion of our manufacturers is a Jeffersoni- an principle In his second annual mes sage to congress Jefferson declared that to protect the manufactures adapted to our circumstances is one of the land- marks by which we are to guide our selves in all our proceedings.' That was democratic doctrine in 1903.
 Then there is reciprocity. That is democratic, not a republican principle ex- cept by adoption. Jefferson himself was the first expounder of 1t in his celebrated report on foreign commerce written in 1793. Expansion is another democratic principle. The founder of the party more than dougled the area of the original thirteen colonies before the middle of his first administration. Could he have had his way he would have taken in Canada.

SOME UNSEEN HELPERS
 OF THE DAIRY FARMER

tance with butter churn knows that cream in order to produce the best tast- Ing butter, must be ''ripened'-in other words long before bacteria had been dis covered, the butter maker used to set his cream aside and allow his unsuspected helpers to produce certain chemical changes in the cream before it was churned. These changes if carried too far spoil the cream but if stopped at the right hour vastly improve 1t for butter making.
 Scientific examination of this phenome- non discovered that is was bacterial ac- tion that produced these changes and dis covered also a reason for the perplexing fact that the changes were not uniform. There are bacteria and bacteria and by further examination of them the bacteri- ologlsts have found the best bacteria for the butter maker, have found means to cultivate these particular dairymans as- sistants in what are called pure cul- tures," and these pure cultures" are now used in butter making in much the same fashion as prepared yeast, which Is another result of bacterial assistance, is used in the bakery. Their use has de- veloped during the last six years to such an extent that June butter, formerly ob- tained only in spring and early summer. is now produced by many dairymen straight through the season. The June butter of a decade ago. that is. was due to the presence of particular bacteria, not present earlier in the year, which have been captured and are now widely culti- vated by expert bacteriologists
 What has been accomplished in the way of furnishing the proper bacteria for but ter making points naturally to the hope that the same thing may be accomplished in the processes of cheese manufacture. So far however. although some advance has been made in the direct direction this ideal conditions has not been established. although the fact has been proven that the cheese makers bacterial allies are of even greater importance than those that assist the butter makers. Just as diff ferent kinds of bacteria are the import ant factors in producing butter of various degrees of excellence so are different bacteria undoubtedly responsible for the wide variety of cheeses. If 1t were poss- ble to select and cultivate these different bacteria 1t would follow that the pro- duction of each kind of cheese could be reduced to an almost mathematical science

is a principle Of democracy never to be abandoned. Economy in administration is another common ground on which all democrats can stand"
 But the candidate for 1s04?"
 At the present time the question be-. fore the democratic party Is not ques- ton of candidates. That will come later. The main question to be settled is that of harmony The vituperation club should be adjourned permanently. The newspaper vendetta should come to an end. If a leader has nothing to offer in the way of advice to the party, he should hold his peace. The rank and file are weary of the wrangling that has so long filled the newspapers. Let the gentlemen with personal grievances keep them to themselves. The country is not interest ed as to who was right or who was wrong in the past. The people have no sympa- thy with faetionists. They care nothing for past controversies that have long been closed and cannot be reopened The is- sues of past campaigns were fairly and ably presented and argued The verdict was given and judgment pronounced. The decision must stand. The whole thing is now ancient history. Parties cannot live in the past. They are of today and tomorrow.
 "The democracy at the present time has a splendid array of men of full pres idential stature. They are to be found in the north and he south, in the west and the east. I shall not name any one of them They readily suggest themselves. Every one of them stands in the very front rank of the men of the day while not a few have won enduring fame. As compared with the democratic party in this respect the republican party has lit tie or no advantage. That fact any man can ascertin for himself by cling the roll on both sides. The swing of the po- Eticl pendulum is toward democracy. It rests with the leaders to say whether 1t shall be stopped or driven onward to assured victory next year.
 "But principles and policies, however strong, pure and patriotic, will not count for anything unless the party turns it's face to the future instead of the past. Quarreling over old dead and gone plat forms is in this rushing age little short of lunacy. They should be allowed to rest in peace in the political lumber room"

ALLleAToRs IN CAPTIVITY.
Many Refuse to Eat and So StarVe to
 Death-One Wage of Feeding.
2OO7 First Avenue.

"The alligator" said Aa snowman. lis commonly supposed to have good appe- tite In fact from the stories we read about it's roaming about in the streams and bayous of it's native regions, picking up and eating colored pickaninnies and stray dogs. and biting off the legs of men it finds asleep on the banks and even talk ing in a man whole, and swallowing calves and that sort of thing, one would think that the alligator had a very vora- cious appetite, which was always in good working order
 And this is all true enough of the al- ligator down there under natural condi- tions. and free. But the alligator in cap tivity is very different proposition. It is often very difficult to get the alll- gator in captivity to eat at all especially at first.
 50 thousands of little allgators that tourists send up or bring from Florida starve to death after they get here. They live few weeks or a month or two, without eating anything, and then just die.
 Maybe this is just as well in the case of these allgators, for these alligators would hardly do for a household pet. 0Qt these small alligators are likely to be pretty well tired of them anyway before they die,
 But now, with alligetors kept for show purposes, especially the larger ones it's different. You can't afford to have them dying off on you and you've got to get em to feed somehow; if they won't eat you've got to devise some way of making em.
 One way of doing this, with the lar ger gators is to throw food into 'em. To be able to do this you have got, of course, to get them to open their mouth, and In doing this you must, of course, exercise due care. for you don't want an alligator to bite your hand off, or any thing like that.
 "One way of feeding these larger all- gators is to stand off at a safe distance with stick of suitable length in one hand and a chunk of meat in the other. With the stick you scratch the alligator's head until you get 1t angry and 1t raises its upper jaw, opening it's mouth, to snap at you if it can Then, when it's mouth Is wide open like that, you hurl the meat down it's throat and so give the animal nourishment even though 1t had refused to take of it itself
 Many a sizabe alligator of, say three or four feet and upward in length, that would otherwise have been lost has been saved in this manner by experienced ami mai feeders. After the gator once gets to feeding why, then it will eat all right"
