The case of the jenkins company

Brown in the district court. The suit
Is brought to enforce the collection of a
check for $3.50 given the plaintiff in
May 1907, but whose payment was
stopped before it was presented to the
Winnemucca bank upon which it was
drawn. The defendants answer to the
PLAINTIFFS complaint alleges that the
check was obtained from the defendant
by fraud, force and duress and was
given without any consideration. IF
the defendant sustains his answer, a

Women Work For the Navy.

Mrs. c. R. Miller, in Lesle's Weekly: When
Admiral Evans fleet sailed for the Pacific few people
knew that the work of woman formed such an i'm
portant part of the equipment of that magnificent
display of naval strength. Women made the greater
part of the clothing worn by the Sailors women did
the sewing in the manufacture of the powder bags
to be used in firing the guns and all of the thou
sands of flags carried by the ships their hand
work. The major portion of this work is done in or
sent out from the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The manu-
factre of the clothing by the blueackets is
somewhat the plan as private factory.
Women too, make the largest number of the
cartridge bags used in firing the guns, and the prin
ciple place for the manufacture of these is in the
ordnance building at the navy yard at Portsmouth,
Va The cartridge sacks are made of raw silk from
Germany A regular pattern is used, the cutting is
done with knife by electricity, and eighty sacks
are cut at one time. The bags must be of exact
sze as a fractional variation would render them
useless in fitting inside the gun The circular sacks
for the ignition powder which fit on the end of the
main powder bag must also be of exact size Both
kinds sent to the naval powder magazine at Iona
Island where they are filled and packed in the tanks
ready for shipment. Hundreds of these powder re-
ceptacleS were turned out by at the Ports
mouth yard for the Pacific fleet
The manufacture of flags is the most picturesque
work done for the navy by women In the big room
the third floor of the equipment building in the
Brooklyn yard one finds perfect riot of color in
the great piles of bunting of every conceivable shade
Thlrty-hve women are employed there, and their
wages range from $152 to 1924 per day. Thomas
Ma1oy is the master lag-maker but the general work
is in charge of Miss Mary Woods This lady came
to the flag room in 1882, when only three or four
women were at work. She does the best part of
the marking and cutting and is unusually clever in
making patterns for the foreign flags, many of which
contain the queerest and most fantastic figures An
