FOREIGNERS MADE
DESPERATE CHARGE

Angry Italians, Poles and Swedes
almost demoralized the police de.
partment yesterday. Summarily
discharged from contract work by
the decision to uphold the labor
laws, they claimed their money
was due and made a raid on the
police, angrily gesticulating and
iabbering all at once and all of the
time. Learning that the president
of the Sibley Contracting company
was in the city hall, they made
a rush and caught sight of the
company's timekeeper. The poor
fellow made a break and lit out
for the police station in terror,
bringing the mob back with him.
A charge with drawn clubs finally
dispersed them and the cops wiped
their honest brows with relief
when they were gone.

TRAFFIC IN CHINESE
SLAVE GIRLS FOUND

under surveillance by federal
officials.
The traffic primarily is in
smuggling coolies into the United
States. For this there is a fee
ranging from $500 to $1,000, accord
ing to the availability of an alibi.
The secondary and more profitable
activity of the band is centered,
however, in supplying the "ghai"
or "gay-yuen" houses of Chinatown
in the different cities of the United
States with slave girls. The prices
of the girls range from $4,000 to
$4,000 each AS high as $4,000 has
been paid for a slave girl that
caught the fancy of some wealthy
mandarin or tong leader.

simplicity of construction is much TO
be desired, but no mother would want
her daughter to wear an unbecoming
frock simply because such a frock was
easily made. So the fact that the
Peasant style is becoming to the lit
tie ones is further cause for satisfac-
tion. And last. but by no means least,
there is the laundress to consider.
Certainly there is no garment easier
TO launder than that which has the
body and sleeve cut in one. It is the
fashion now for children to wear wash
dresses throughout the year, and any
feature which renders the laundering
an easy task should be received with
"open arms"

her designs The first illustration

and up the center of the sleeves. The
skirt Of this little frock was particu-

short rounded cores and this gored
upper part was heightened by a tuck
ed tiounce. There was a row of the
lace insertion at the joining line and
another row at the top OF the flounce

slip was made to be worn under the
dress and there was a sash of blue

that more than the usual attention
be paid to their wardrobes. At the
holiday family gatherings fond aunts

for criticism of the appearance Of
their young nieces and nephews. OF
course the matter of clothing for the
little man is a comparatively easy
task The styles in boys clothing
