EIGHT HOUR Law VIOLATION
United States Attorneys Directed to
Investigate All Complaints.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Attorney-
General Moody to-day issued a circular
letter Of instructions TO United states
attorneys regarding prosecutions OF
violations OF the eight-hour law In

be submitted to a grand jury with
view to securing an indictment.

Hints For the Giftmaker

She who is 50 fortunate as to paint
in water colors or sketch in pen and
Ink finds no limit to her resources. One
girl last year made two dozen dainty
calendars for the approximate cost OF
Il cents each. She purchased oblongs
OF bristol board. with nicely beveled
edges, for a few cents each, and on
these she drew or painted a piquant
face, below she pasted a small calendar
costing from to 5 cents each. Then
she punched two holes at the top OF the
bristol board, ran inch-wdde satin rib
bon through, forming a loop and bow,
and prestoi an effective gift which
would have cost 75 cents to 80 in the
shops. Another girl who could not
draw pasted souvenir post cards at the
top of her calendars instead of sketch
Ding heads herself This saved not
only time. but labor. Another pretty
idea is to send ones photograph in a
homemade frame.
A covered basket Of fancy green and
white straw, ornamented with punches
Of ribbon flowers. is also effective.
Violets are simulated by innumerable
loops of violet satin ribbon, sometimes
with a knot at the top Of each loop.
with leaves made of wider green satin.
A satin or chiffon rose for the hair is
always acceptable to a young girl.
A girl who had some success with
water colors bought a quantity Of plain
colored silk and paper fans last year
and painted graceful sprays Of flowers
ON each one. One extremely pretty
black silk one had a spray of yellow
tiger lilies outlined with gold paint

How to Tell Good Six

In selecting a silk petticoat." said
the saleswoman. Il would never advise
a woman to buy one that costs less
than six dollars, for while cheaper ones
may look quite as good. the quality of
the material cannot be such that the
garment will give satisfaction.
Buy soft silk in preference to a
stiff taffeta, for it wears better.
BE sure there is good quality OF
material in a petticoat before .purchas-
ing. This can be readily told by the
feel, at least persons familiar with
silks know as soon as they touch the
material whether or not, it is good. A
taffeta that rustles between the fingers
is best, while in a soft silk, the softer
and more pliable it is the better the
grade of material .-,.- ..ta

SPARROW SET THE
CHURCH IN A ROAR

NEW YYORK. Nov. 1.-THE organist
Of the Second Reformed Church. Of
Hackensaclx, N. J., ran his fingers light
ly over the keys Of his instrument as
the church slowly filled for the SER
vice.
The sonorous harmonies echoed
through the church until, in following
his notes, the organist struck upper F.
Instead Of the full. rich tone which
should have followed, the pipe emitted
a surprising squeak. The congregation
gasped in astonishment and then set
tied back in their pews determined to
look as II nothing unusual had hap.
pened.
Even the Rev. Arthur johnson, the
pastor, glanced toward the organ. Only
the organist looked unconcerned, but
deep within him was a great apprehen-
sion. He realized that soon again he
would be compelled to strike the same
key.
He permitted little more air to
enter the F pipe, and then resolutely
pressed the key. The same squealing.
screeching sound came from the pipe,
only this time it was louder, and the
congregation restrained its amusement
with more difficulty.
Soon. for a third time, the organist
found himself compelled 10 strike tie
embarrassing note. In desperation he
turned into the pipe the full force OF
air The shrill shrek that followed
surpassed the previous two, for an in
slant, and then suddenly ceased. There
was a futter Of wings. The congrega-
tion laughed aloud as a much-battered
sparrow flew out OF the pipe and
perched on a rafter.
