According TO a statement before a
meeting Of the Women's Foreign Mis-

regarding the money spent for chew

made. The speaker was Miss Nary
w. Kerr Of Harrisburg. Pa. In connec.
ton with the topic OF "Frenzied Fl.
nance in Missions" In urging the so
ciety to be more liberal in its contri.
buttons to charitable work. she said:
For every $1,000 contributed to
charity. $4,000 is spent for chewing
gum"
The statement passed almost un'
noticed except by few. who saw the

How to Buy An Electric Flatiron.
The secret of success and economy in
using an electric hatiron, says A. II.
Miller. in October Good Housekeeping
Magazine, lies in purchasing the prop.
er size Of iron for the size Of your fam
lily. For a family of two small chill
dren and two grown persons, a five
pound iron is best suited, while for a
family Of four to six "grown-ups," a
six pound iron may be counted on to
give the best results. For a very large
family, consisting of both children and
grown persons, and employing laund-
ress, it is far more satisfactory TO use
two irons of different weights One Of
these may be an eight or nine pound
iron for ironing table linen, linen skirts,
etc, and the other three or four pound
iron for waists and thin goods Since
the electric iron retains heat for some
length Of time this is advisable. not only
from the standpoint of economy but
because better results are secured by
off the current when the iron
is on the stand.

Ottawa, Oct 1.-THE anti-American
flag craze reached its height here on
Thursday as a result Of agitation by the
Overseas club. which five days after the
election held a meeting and demanded
that the numerous motion picture shows
stop exhibiting pictures containing the
American flag. The pictures complained
.of were supposed TO represent battle
scenes from the Civil and Spanish-Amer-
lean wars.
|. The newspapers took 1t up and finally
the show managers got sofae English
films. but they cost more and were not
as good as the others, anyway The
motion picture men yesterday told the
Over Seas club that they had placed
orders with the American motion picture
people to substitute the Union Jack for
the Stars and Stripes in all pictures in
the future, but they were not sure that
the Yankee concerns would do it, espe-
cially in Civil and Spanish American war
scenes
The Overseas club people said last
night that they will ask the Borden gov.
eminent to remove the duty on English

EXAMINING
TALESMEN
Great Care Used in Choosing
Mcnamara Jurors
DRIFT OF TRIAL FORECAST
In Questions Asked. I. Nelson OF
Pasadena, Cal, Subjected to
Very Thorough Questioning
by Counsel.

Los Angeles, Oct. l4.-After three
days of court session in the trial OF
James b. Mcnamara, no juror had been
selected, even tentatively, lest night
and no decision had been reached as to
the eligibility of the first talesman ex.
amncd
The proceedings moved forward with
out any interruption, but because of the
magnitude of the issues involved in the
examination OF u. T., Nelson. the first
talesman, every move OF opposing counsel
was marked with elaboration.
When court adjourned last night, ar.
guments on Nelson's status remained
unfinished Sections of the penal coGe
regarding the qualifications Of jurors and
a contest over the meaning Of Nelson's
examination combined to furnish points
of contact which will affect every pro-
speetive juror, and for this reason were
stubbornly contested.
Questioning OF talesmen, frequently re-
.garded as dismal proceeding furnished
in this case interest to spectators and
partisans, because it was expected TO
define in advance of the opening argu-
ment some of the essential issues OF the
trial, which is designed TO show whether
the defendant is responsible for the death
of Charles j, Haggerty, who. with 20
others, was killed in the Los Angeles
Times explosion over a year ago.
James b. Mcnamara Is held on indict-
ments for 10 deaths, but the state has
elected to go 70 trial on Haggerty's
case
Nelson's attitude toward labor organi-
cations and their members, touched upon
at the preceding session OF court, was
made the subject OF further inquiry for
the defense by Clarence S, barrow.
Before Nelson's examination was taken
up, one more talesman was called into
the box to replace one dismissed at the
last moment OF court on Wednesday be-
cause OF physical inability to stand the
fatigue of long trial.
Nelson, a ruddy-faced man Of 60 years,
from the start answered questions put
by counsel with deliberation, weighing
his answers.
81 can't answer that question, because
I'm not sufficiently familiar with the
subject" was his reply from time to
time to questions concerning his attitude
toward labor organizations, as he under
stood them to exist in California and
elsewhere.
Because Of the determination Of ques-
tions involved in the examination Of
Nelson, the first talesman. il was said
that questioning Of other talesmen would
20 forward much more rapidly.
