OF the committee in this respect Chair


OF the committee in this respect Chair
man James O'Connell said:
"All efforts to secure the amalga-
nation of these two organizations have
failed. Conferences have been arrang-
ed for which have resulted in nothing.
Now the time has come to take action
that will force a settlement of these
differences and relieve this convention
Of forever having to handle them. We
take the position that there is not
room enough in the labor movement
for two separate organizations COM
posed Of men Of the same craft. Where
there are two or more similar organ
izations they must get together or one
of them must get out"
The report of the committee was
overwhelmingly adopted after consid-
cradle argument.

PATCHWORK AN ANCIENT ART
II Had Its Origin Many Ages Ago
but Now Is Distinctly An Amer.
lean Institution.

The idea that patchwork had Its
origin in America is not founded on
fact. A thousand years before the
Christian era a queen of Egypt went
down the Nile to her last resting
place under a wonderful canopy Of
skins that were dyed and pieeed to-
gethef In a mosaic pattern. Years be-
fore this work had reached perfection
and acquired a definite place among
the arts. Then, too. patchwork quilts
were made in England in the Eight
eenth century. as witness the lines
written by Cowper to a Mrs. King
upon receipt Of "A kind present Of
patchwork quilt of her own making"
Patchwork Is distinctly an Ameri-
can institution. In this big new coun.
try, where woman's work was never
done, where even the few convent
ences Of the day were lacking, women
had no time to spend on any but the
practical things of life. The mothers
Of this nation left behind them no
wonderful historical needlework, like
the Gobelin tapestries Of France and
the beautiful laces of Italy. There
were all too few to attend to the spin;
ming and weaving and household du-
ties in the homes where dwelt not
only the large family. but the hired
help as well.-Charlotte F. Boldt-
mann In Woman's Home Companion.

A Floating Telescope.

At the Harvard university observ
atory a gigantic telescope floats In a
tank of water. 1t is one OF the largest
in the world, the rejecting mirror be-
ing five feet wide. Mounted on
watertight cylindrical steel float the
telescope swings in concrete tank
full of water. only slightly larger
than the cylinder, which is designed
TO fit it closely and serve as pivot
for the telescope instead of having 1t
mounted on a solid base.
Machinery at each side holds and
guides it. The water bears the weight
and the movements of the telescope
are regulated by tiny electric motors
The gigantic mirror can be easily re-
moved and resilvered when it grows
dim. although two tons are indicated
when it is placed on the scales.
Through this telescope stars OF the
sixteenth and the eighteenth magni'
tude are revealed.-Natioral Maya

Boy Knew His Business.

T. Van Laer at the dinner given
to William NJ. Chase at the Arts club
on Wednesday evening, explained the
real significance and the efficacy OF
Mr.. Chases fat brimmed silk hat, Q
hat which is as well-known as the
Hammerstein's-if not in all OF the
same circles. Mr.. Van Laer related
an early incident in which Chase per
ceived the value Of that headpiece.
and Van Laer had the support of Mrs.
Chase for its authenticity.
Years ago, Mr.. Van Laer said, when
Chase had left his house one morning
Il occurred to him that he ought to
send home some claret, and he
stopped at a store and ordered some.
In due course the wine was delivered,
but the servant at the Chase house
declined to receive it. saying that It
must be a mistake as they needed no
claret there. The delivery boy insist.
ed that he was right, but the servant
was positive and unyielding. While
the argument" was on, the boy, a
true son of America, not to say OF
New York, got his eye on a shining
example OF the Chase hat inside the
house.
Does that hat belong here?" the
boy demanded.
The servant said that 1t did.
"Well then, so does this claret!"
said Young America, and he left 1t

CIVIC LEAGUE.

The last meeting of the Progressive
Civic League of the Eighth Grade
of McDonogh No. School, was
held on Friday, March 3, 1911. Presi-
dent Leslie Bostick called the meeting
to order. Then John Cornell read the
minutes of the last meeting, which
were accepted. A collection of dues
followed and most of the boys cleared
up their Indebtedness.
An interesting program followed,
consisting of proverbs, rules on polite
ness, and a dialogue. The proverbs
were especially instructive, if the boys
bear them in memory the rest of their
lives. The following boys took part in
the dialogue: John Connell, Thomas
Kennair and Bruce Barrett, which was
rendered very well. John Cornell rep
resented the father, Bruce Barrett the
son, and Thomas Kennair boy friend.
In this dialogue, Bruce Barrett was
sent by his father to bring letter to
the train. While on his way he met
Thomas Kennair, who asked him to
visit the animal show. Bruce refused,
but, after some time spent in arguing,
Bruce finally consented. When he
came out he found that he had lost the
letter. His friend planned to tell
Bruce's father lie, saying that Bruce
had given the letter to the gentleman.
Just then John Connell, representing
Barrett's father, stepped up. Kennair
gave him the lie, but his son could not
stand it and told the truth. He then
found out that his father had found the
letter and brought it to the train. The
son was forgiven and his friend was
given a severe scolding. The father
warned his son never to associate with
boy who lied.
The moral of this dialogue is that a
lie will always be found out.
Truth crushed to earth will rise
again."

SOME FAMOUS ENGLISH TARTS
Ideas from Across the Water That Are
Worth Copying by Ameri-
can Housewives.

Pastry in English assumes various
forms: but the one pre-eminently ia.
vored is the tart with top crust only.
This is baked in a deep oval pudding
dish, in the center of which is placed
small inverted cup to support the
crust The edge of the dish having
been previously covered with a strip
of pastry and moistened the top is
then firmly pressed down upon it.
Next in favor is the tartlet. Patty
pans. lightly creased, are lined with
paste, and a piece of buttered paper
filled with raw rice, kept for this pur-
pose. is placed in each tartlet to pre-
vent the center putting up. The paper
and rice are replaced by fruit wher
the pastry is partially or quite done
Open tarts, much larger, are made
in the same manner.
Cream Paste-Cream paste is much
in vogue for special occasions. The
ingredients called for are one pound
of flour, one-half teaspoonful salt, one
teaspoonful sugar, one-quarter pound
vi lltSu Nuplhl Vi
cream. Sift the -four, mix in
salt and sugar, rub in the but
ter; add cream, gradually form
ing into smooth paste. The -four
may take up more or less cream.
The yolks of two eggs beaten in lit
tie milk may be substituted for cream.
Roll out paste three times and use
at once.

apple sauce, three tablespoonfuls of
currant or other jelly, four eggs, sug,
