TO PARALYZE ALL SHIPPING
International Marine Strike nj
Atlantic Ports Threatened.

The international marine strike Of TIC
National Sailors and Firemen's Union
against the International Shipping Fed
Grafton will take place in May. during
coronation week. IL was announced yes
terday by Matthew TcareL. secretary of
the union. This threatened strike had
its inception in the demands OF the In
ternaional Longshoremen's Association,
which has its headquarters I'm Detroit,
for an increase OF five cents an hour,
with extra money for overtime and hol-
days.
The details Of the contemplated strike
were announced on December II. 1910
and since that time the men have been
holding conferences with representatives
Of the steamship companies in an effort
TO reach some kind of all agreement.
The Longshoremens Protective Assoc
citation, a local union, when approached
by the delegates of the Detroit union,
refused TO indoTse the demands en-
bodied in the agreement signed by the
Detroit organization, but presented mod
flied demands.
After more than six weeks delibera-
ton the unions have decided to call a
strike during coronation week in Lon
don, the busiest season of the shipping
Industry. Secretary Tearel announced
last night that he had received an off,
cial communication from j. Havelock
wilson. Member Of Parliament, the
president OF the National Sailors and
Firemen's Union Of Great Britain, in
which il was stated that arrangements
had been made TO involve all the sea-
men Of the Atlantic ports in this coun-
try. The seamen Of Great Britain and
her dependencies would also be affected
by the strike order, 1t was said. and in
general strike OF the long
shoreren and miners Of the world would
be ordered. This would have the effect
of tying up every liner at her pier, and
practically paralyze shipping through
out the world. said Secretary Tearel.

the Appalachians.
"A large part of the region has fallen
into the hands OF lumber companies" SAID
Mr.. Pinchot. This is one Of those peculiar
things that must be done at once, and YET
can't be done at once. It's been curious
warfare from the beginning. We have met
in this whole conservation movement the

Present-Day Skirt
Makes Curtsy Difficult

The curtsy was invented toward the
end of the seventeenth century, and 1t
folded up the legs-we would not put IL
disrespectfully-of the female eight
eenth century from start to finish and
beyond. That is, it synchronized with
the hoop: it must have met some tenn
Iorary difficulties under the First En-
pire, but it revived under the Second, In
the time of the crinoline, for It Is tho
only salutation Csneeling, OF course, be-
ingless a aalutation than a degree Of
Worship which is done with the legs.
All other kinds of bowling are done with
the spine and the head.
Now, the homage of courts has coma
to be Interchangeable, and the curtsy
must remain. For some years its ac-
ton, fostered, because it was concealed
by the hoop and the crinoline, has had
to be performed with care and no httla
rehearsal. But with the skirt Of today
1t would be not only difficult, but isno-
minious. For the only thing that mado
the curtsy graceful was that processes
were a profound secret. The woman
dipped and collapsed within her hoop
and slowly heightened again. and 1t
was charming. But it is absolutely
necessary that the secret should De

petticoatless skirt will not keep it
Hence the order that none such shall
appear at the courts Of the season.

A Home Recipe For
Removing Wrinkles
(From woman's National JournaL)

(From woman's National Journal)
Who will blame the modern woman
for trying to look as young and at
tractive as she reasonably can? Why
should she be placed at q disadvan-
tage in numerous ways by wearing
wrinkles, If she can avoid these hate
full marks of advancing age?
Few women, however, know what to.
do to effectually rid themselves OF
wrinkles or sagginess. None of the
advertised preparations is satisfactory
and most of them are very expensive.
But a very simple and harmless home
remedy, which any woman can make,
will work wonders where all the pat
ent preparations fall.
Buy an ounce of powdered savolite
at any drug store. Dissolve the whole
ounce in a half pint of witch hazel
and use II as a wash lotion. The
results are practically instantaneous.
Marked improvement is noticed i'm
