MITCHELL GOT PAY
FOR his LETTERS
By United Press Leased Special Wire.

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
WASHINGTON. Aug. People
who live in glass houses shouldn't
throw stones. When President Mitchell
OF the United Mine Workers. went
abroad several years ago and sold to
newspapers his observations written
there. nobody raised any fuss and
feathers. Now the official organ Of
that organization tries TO raise a tenn
pest I'm a teapot because President
Gompers Of the American Federation
is doing exactly what President Mitch
ell did"
This was the answer given by an
official Of the federation to the attack
on President Gompers contained in the
current Journal Of the United Mine
Workers. The publication scores the
labor leader because his letters from
abroad were being sold to newspapers
and offered for sale TO labor publica-
tions at 81 per letter The Journal
bitterly denounced this plan.
president Gompers" said the Off
ciai Of the federation today. was in
duced to permit syndicating OF his OBJ
servations because he was convinced
that the letters would receive the mora
publicity than il they were published
merely i'm the American Federationist.
He writes a weekly letter. forwards it
10 man in Pennsylvania who does an
the work OF syndicating and who was
the one to offer the matter to labor
publications"

COLLECTORS MUST
STUDY new LAW
May be Months Before Some
Officials Make Collections
Under New Tariff

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Aug. s.
There will be no upheaval in the rou-
tine Of the custom house on account
OF the enactment Of the Payne Aldrich
law. Although the law was officially
in effect yesterday It may be weeks
or even months before some Of the
collectors in the outlying ports begin
making collections under the revised
schedules.
Before they begin appraising duties
under the new law, the collectors must
familiarize themselves with the changes
They have been proceeding for twelve
years under their present schedule and
cannot be expected to jump over to an
entirely new list of duties until they
have had an opportunity to study the
law
There is no disposition on the part OF
the Treasury officials to hurry the col
lectors in their lessons. for ample safe
guards are thrown around the custom
house to protect it from any probable
loss.
As soon as the tariff bill became a
law by the signature of President Taft.
the Government Printing Office began
turning out a large number OF copies
for the use Of the Treasury Depart
ment These will be distributed liber-
ally among the forces OF the collectors
Of the ports, so that all the Govern
ment employees in these offices may
familiarize themselves with the changes
The importers will also secure copies.
and it is believed that within a few
weeks the first class in Payne Aldrich
law will have learned its lesson.

To Clean Chiffon.

It is rather a hazardous task TO
launder chiffon and make it look i'm
maculate without reducing 1t %
shreds.
It should be carefully rolled and
pressed between the hands and rinsed
I'm clean water.
Then it should be stiffened in gum
water, which is made by adding one
tablespoonful Of gum to a quarter OF
q pint of water.
The moisture is absorbed by rolling
the chiffon in a cloth, for it must not
be too dry when it is ironed.
Chiffon is ironed by being placed
on the table wrong side up and press
cd along the selvagc so as not to dis
place the fiibrcs.
When chiffon is ironed it should be
held tightly up in front of the iron
10 remove the crinkles that are pro-
duced by washing.
Chiffon ties with a natural crepon
wrinkle should not be ironed, but in-
stead should have the ends pinned 70

CHlLDREN'S LIGHT COATS

There arc many days in summer when
the small child needs an extra wrap. some
thing neither as heavy nor as everyday as
a sweater. REFER or knit sacque. For ordi-
nary occasions the piaue coat fills every
need, but when baby is to be dressed up
and made to look it's lufhest. nothing
takes the place Of the lingerie coats over
a lining.
These lingerie coats may be elaborate
affairs Of handkerchief linen or null, be-
decked with hand embroidery and in
sets OF real lace, worn over white or col
ored silk slips. Quite as effective. much
cheaper and more easily laundered are the
little coats of embroidered batistc or dot
ted muslin.
They are made simply from any good
coat pattern that reaches to the end OF
the frock. The bottom is cut long enough
to turn up in a three or four-inch hem,
that can be let out as tile child grows
Sometimes the fullness at the back is ar
ranged in side plsits fastened to yoke
more simply ii is gathered to yoke. tho
fullness being confined 10 few inches al
the back
The coat is untrimmed but a small cape
deep enough 10 cover the yoke is edged
with row OF Irish lace. or any othei
washable cotton lace that looks we'll will
the muslin The cape may be made rounC
or it can be cut in points, tabs or othe
fancy shape. A pretty touch is aided b.
briarstitching the edge where the lace d
joined to the cape. The turn-down cola
of the coat is also lace edged, a narrowe
width being used
Such coat can be worn over an,
straight slip-coat They are most fancie
in color. though for tiny babies white :
preferred by many mothers. China sill
makes a good lining, as # can be washed
For very warm weather the undercos
could be OF mercerized gingham or eve

Why Women Arc Afraid Of Mice.


In all ages women were supposed
to be more prone TO superstition than
men, and who knows but that the
dread of a woman on the appearance
Of rat or a mouse may not be due,
in part at least, TO an ancient super
stition which has Travelled down the
ages from the time when our remote
forefathers believed that rats and mice
were the souls of the departed? Mum
erous are the stories which made the
ancients believe that souls were rats
and mice. and some of these stories
are very curious.
"In Thuringia. at Saalfeld." SAYS
Barring Gould, "a servant girl fell
asleep while her companions we're
shelling nuts They observed a little
red mouse creep from her mouth and
run out Of the window. One Of the
fellows present shook the sleeper but
could not wake her. so he moved her
to another place. Presently the mouse
ran back to the former place and dash
ed about, seeking the girl. Not find
ing her. it vanished At the same
moment the girl died"
