It is believed that the strike vote will
be unanimously in favor of suspension

the vote is finally recorded an opportu-

the workers. If the invitation is ig-

WOMAN RUNS A MOUSE FARM

Why is the average woman more
afraid Of a mouse than of her hus-
bands wrath over her milliner's bill?
Why at the sight of wee, inoffensive
rodent, will she fly screaming to a
table or chair to the accompaniment
of a reckless display of hosiery? And
can anybody under the sun explain
why the nervy young woman who will
grapple with and capture a burglar
and turn him over to the police, will
pull off lovely fainting fit if anybody
shouts, Look at the mouse!"

Miss Lathrop, Il believe dates back to
possible doubt about it, for as far back
as | have been able to go in the his

skipped and jumped at the sight of a

In her rodent family, Miss Lathrop
has mice of ten different colors and
20 combinations of color. White is
ordinary and black is not startling,
but when it comes to cream-colored
mice or orange mice, one is surprised.
She also has silver, blue and agouti
mice.
The red mice are much the color Of
the bay of a horse and the blue mouse
is about the color of a maltese cat
The agouti mice have dark brown hair
with yellow tips which gives a golden
brown effect, Her silver mice with
ruby eyes are the rarest combinations.
One of the most remarkable things
about Miss Lathrop's farm is her an
