PEORIA. H.. June 15.-Because they
were ordered to cut the pockets out of
their dresses, a score of salesgirls in
a department store here quit their
places here yesterday and there is a
strike threatened among the remaining
employees. An order from the employ
ers was issued this morning and at
noon there were twenty vacant places.
The order followed the disappearance
of several valuable articles and the
girls resented the inslnuation. The em-
ployers stated that the order was not
meant to inslnuate that the girls had
stolen the articles, but was merely is
sued as a matter OF precaution.
The local stores have adopted the pol
icy during the rush season of searching
the employees after the days work, but
the management of this particular store
adopted the theory that II there were
no pockets in the girls dresses there
would be no temptation to slip articles
away.

ance Of John Jendrich of "a Chatham

an increase, but was cut short with
the alternative: "Wife and babies and

wife and babies" replied Jendrich
sadly, as he turned to go.
Mrs. Jendrich was instructed to re-
port any attempt to hold out more than

leniency to the extent of an extra

fendant he would get the limit allowed
by law. Jendrich promised to be good

UNCLE SAM MAKING CEMENT
Dealers Ask Fifty Per Cent Above
Normal Rate for Irrigation
Projects
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
WASHINGTON, June 15.-The irri-
CATION policy is driving the United
States government into the cement
making business. Uncle Sam has been
making cement in a quiet way, and
seems likely to extend his operations
in that line.
To construct the dams for the twen-
ty-four irrigation projects under way
in the far west the government either
was compelled to ship cement from Eu-
rope or from the far eastern seaboard
or manufacture its own product. In
the Salt river project in Arizona a test
has been made which is very satisfac-
tory to the government. Hundreds of
barrels of cement are being turned out
daily, at cost far below the market
price.
The unprecedented demand for ce-
ment throughout the west has already
overtaxed the capacity of the mills, and
almost without exception every request
of the government for bids on the
twenty-four irrigation projects has
been turned down. Recently proposals
were requested from eight manufactur-
ers and dealers in cement for the 1000
barrels required for an Idaho project.
only one proposal was received, and
that was at rate so per cent higher
than the firm would have sold II a few
months ago. The government reject
ed II.
Many Of the government works are
remote from railroads and cement beds
are adjacent to them. So thoroughly
aroused are the people Of the thirteen
states and territories to the necessity
for completing these projects that they
will insist that the government pro-
ceed with the manufacture OF enough
cement TO complete the projects.

cials of the village of Chatham to check
the speed of automobiles through the
village had their first test yesterday
and proved a decided success. Several
hundred persons congregated at the
crosswalks where the bumps were
placed and watched with amusement
the automobiles cross them.
The speed reducers are five feet above
the level of the road and made of trap
rock and clay. Signs warning auto
mobilists of these bumps were posted
at each end of the town.
When the first car came to one of
the bumps the operator smiled con-
temptuously, and as the machine
reached the elevation he slowed up the
car and then with a sudden jerk of the
machine took the bump.
There were several persons In the
machine, and when the heavy rubber
tires struck the elevation there was a
palpitation of the machinery and the
car shot up several feet i'm the air.
Goggles. hats, monkey wrench, side
combs, hairpins and other articies new
In all directions. The crowd gave a
cheer and decided that the borough's
plan was eeffctive.
All day men, women and children
stood near the crosswalks and hailed
with delight every automobile as 1t
went over the bumps. One Venturesome
operator ran his machine on the side
walk and around the elevations, but
citizens placed heavy beams at those
points. compelling the other automo-
biles to keep to the road.

FIGHTS DIVORCE FOR HEAVEN

Special to The Herald
OMAHA, June 15.-Hoding that her
chances of entering heaven depend
upon her remaining married, Mrs.
Susan Jones, Mormon, is resisting
the granting of a divorce to her hus-
band, Henry Jones. The plaintiff is
81 years of age, and since he filed his
petition week ago a guardian has
been appointed for him. While he
makes the charge of cruelty as the
basis for his divorce suit the old man
is in a feeble condition mentally, and
it is alleged he was in no condition at
the time of the ceremony to contract
marriage.
When the case was under considera-
tion today Mrs. Jones' attorneys told
the court that it is the belief of the
Mormons that an unmarried woman
cannot enter heaven, and that for the
sake of her future bliss she will resist
the divorce to the utmost of her ability.
1t is intimated that the plea Will be
made before the jury that IT were bet
ter the old man should suffer a few
short years of a woman's cruelty than
that the woman should be consigned
to eternal torment.
