CoLoRED SILKS.

Before washing colored silks soak
them for short time in cold water
with little salt in it. If the color
is inclined to run this will prevent it
to certain extent. Silks of different
colors should be soaked separately.
Wash the silk in lather of soap
and water, squeeze the silk well in
I this, and work it up and down in the
water. Take two or three different
soapy waters, if necessary, until the
silk is quite clean. Never use the
water too hot and never rub soap on.
After washing, rinse the silk thor
oughly, first in tepid then in cold
water; adding in the last alter lit
tie ammonia or salt, in order to fix
the color. Last put through the me-
thylated spirit water to give it "a
gloss.
In ironing colored silks do not use
the iron too hot, or it will destroy the
colors. If the color is coming out to
any extent spread piece of clean
cloth over the ironing sheet to pre-
vent the silk staining it.-New York
Press.

New York City. - Declaring that
there are more than 100000 unem-
ployed in New York City, and that
the letting of subway contracts would
offer the most immediate relief, the

now scheduled for the afternoon of
Saturday two weeks hence, and the
discussion last week in Congress of a
labor leaders statement that there
are 100000 idle in this city alone,
brought the question of subway dig
ging home to every labor delegate,
and the report of the special commit
tee was put through with rush The
reopening of public works was de-
clared to be the first duty of the city
in view of the number of unemployed.
Representative Willett, of New
York, stirred up Congress with let
ter of Samuel A. Stodel, secretary of
the New York Council of Independ-
ent World Workers, giving the num-
Der of unemployed in New York as
503,500. OF this number Stodel esti-
mated that 147, 500 are union men,
bers and 1000 non-unionists. Lead
ers of the Central Federated Union
were asked for their estimates of the
unemployed, and with few exceptions
they placed the number above $780,
900.
A conservative estimate, based on
a canvass of the delegates of the re-
spective unions affiliated with this
body, places the number of idle union
workers in New York at 100000, :"
said Albert Abrahams, vice-president
of the C. F. IT,, "and if you count those
working two or three or four days a
week." declared Abrahams, "the num-
Der will reach nearer 100000. We
estimate the number of unemployed,
union and non-union, in New York
and the suburban cities and towns at
100000. We are told here that of
he members of the PAYERS Union, for
Instance, ninety per cent. are idle;
the cigarmakers have one-third of
their men out of work, the building
trades one-half, and the printers,
compositors and pressmen, one
fourth"
The Unemployed Conference Com
mittee, which meets in the Labor
Temple in East Eighty-fourth street,
has determined to go to court, if nee
essary, to obtain permission to as
semble in the Union Square plaza.
The parade was to have been held two
weeks ago but was postponed, await
ing the result of the conferences with
the Mayor and Comptroller over pos
sible public improvements.

1t is advisable while glace silk is
drying to shake it repeatedly and get
it smooth by this process, so that it
may not require ironing. as the APP

entirely spoils its appearance.
All soft silks, however, look better
if ironed, but this should not be at

passed off, as the heat of the iron
might ignite the spirit and the silk
be destroyed. New York Press.
