EMPLOYEES OF navy

Claim Right To Strike II
Objectionable System
Is introduced.

Using as a precedent the action of
hundreds of molders and other em-
pIoyes of United States arsenals in
various parts of the country, who, be-
coming dissatisfied with working condi-
tions have gene on strike and have been
uumolested by Federal authorities. en-
ployes of the Washington navy yard de-
clare they have the right to take SINH
lar action II the Taylor system of shop
MANAGEMENT is installed here.
The navy yard employees say there is
no law to compel theu to work under
conditions which are distasteful to
them. Whether they go on a strike. or
gracefully resign, they say, it does not
matter. They assert that the Taylor
system will work, hardships which they
will be unable to bear, and they conse-
quently will refuse to remain in the EN-
plCy of the Government under those
conditions.
Fears No Legal Action.
Before leaving for Rock Island, H.,
where he will confer with representa-
tives from sll the American navy yards
and arsenals, w. II. Johnston, president
of the International Association Of Ma
chinists, said he feared no legal action
on the part of the Government, should
the Washington machinists strike.
at is within our province to take such
a step, should distasteful conditions be
inaugurated at the yard" he continued.
"Other Government worknien have
struck for smaller reasons than ours.
Anyway, we will not work under a
scheme SO entirely Unfair as the Taylor
system"
At the Navy Department this morn
ing II was stated that no fear that the
Washington machinists will strike Is en-
tertained. Acting Secretary Of the Navy
Winthrop still maintains that the Gov
ernment will do nothing to injLre the
efficiency of the workmen, or tu work
kardships on the men.

The Spirit Of Weakness.

You should make a special point Of
asking God every morning to give you,
before all else, that true spirit of
meekness which he would have his
children possess. You must also make
q firm resolution to practice yourself
In this virtue, especially in your inter
course with those persons to whom
you chiefly owe it. You must make 1t
your main object to conquer yourself
in this matter; call it to mind a hun
bred times during the day, commend
Ing your efforts to God. 1t seems to
me that no more than this is needed
In order to subject your soul entirely
to his will, and then you will become
more gentle day by day, trusting who'll
ly in his goodness. You will be very
happy, my dearest child, If you can
do this, for God will dwell in your
heart; and where he reigns all is
peace. But II you should fail and
commit some Of your old faults, do not
be disheartened. but rise up and go on
again, as though you had not fallen

To Walk With God.

Life is full Of minor ~vexations as
well as major sorrows, and for both
the little and the big troubles divine
grace must constantly be sought and
put into exercise, lest this or that dis
ciple be swallowed up of overmuch
sorrow, as Paul feared some In his
time might be. Life is a school, and
in every school discipline must be
maintained. Many Of the hard tests
that come to us are of our own in.
curing, and all are meant for our
spiritual good. If God did not love us
he would permit us always to be at
ease in Zion. There are gains and ad.
vantages, as the world regards them,
which are dear at any price, since
they tend to separate us from God. II
is better, if need be, to walk in the
dark with God than to go alone in the
light.

THREE CURED OF ECZEMA

"When q child, I suffered eight
years with eczema. I could not sleep
at night, and had sores all over my
chest. We had doctors and none
could do any good. until my mother
saw the advertisement Of the Cuti-
cura Remedies in the paper. We used
the Cuticura Soap, Ointment n
Resolyent, and they cured me OF
eczema. / also used them on my v
children. Two Of them had eczema
very badly. When my children a
eczema, I was not worried at all. as
I knew the Cuticura Remedies would
do their work. They had sores all
over their heads. their hair would TALL
out, and they would scratch all night
and day. They had 1t on their heads,
face. and in back Of the ears so that l
thought their ears would drop on. l
washed their heads and bodies with
Cuticura Soap and they are as clean
as the dr.ven snow. Cuticura Soap
and Ointment also cured my children
of ringworm. / would not be without

PULPIT NOT IN THEIR LINE
How Men Now Eminent In Judiciary
Of Country Disappointed Parents
Fond Expectations.

There were three boys In our fam
lily out in Ashland county, Ohio"
sail Colonel Fred Paul Grosscup of
Charleston, w. Va, at the Willard
hotel, and our good old Lutheran
parents decided that one Of the three
should be a preacher.
Peter, the first born, was picked
for the church, while Ben and myself
were allowed to think of some other
vocation. Well, when Peter left col
lege he told father and mother that
he guessed the church could get
along without him, as he preferred
the law. Then l was picked for the
pulpit, and after a term In college my
parents were shocked to learn that
/ had entered a business house far
from home.
THAT meant the selection of Ben,
the youngest, for the church, and
when Ben got through his college
course he told the old folks at home
that he thought 1t wisest to follow
the example of Peter and enter the
legal profession. There were no 9th
err boys, SO what could father and
mother do but exclaim. The Lords
will be DONE and give us each 8
parental blessing.
Years after, when brother Peter
reached the federal bench and Ber
achieved distinction on the Pacific
coast, our parents seemed r%econciled
to the loss sustained by the pulpits
of the country"

THIN SUMME FR0CkS
MOST ATTRACTIVE OF DRESsY
COSTUMES FOR GIRL.
scrupuIous Care Necessary, However,
II Material Is to Last the Season
Embroidered BatIste Excel
lent for Purpose.

The month of roses is heralded by
more than thin dress materials than
one has seen this many a year, and,
with laces appropriately delicate,
these make the most attractive OF
dressy frocks for a young girl. The
wash material, SO called, among these
flmy textiles is not necessarily a
thing for the tub. for thin silks may
be used upon them in some way or
other and all the style Of a costume
suggests the careful touch Of the dry
cleaner rather than the rude one OF
the l%aundress. But the prettiest OF the
fragile weaves can be had cheaply,
and suitable trimmings are CORE
spondingly inexpensive; SO If the
gown is made at home there seems no
great extravaganza in discarding 1t
after 1t is too soiled for use. In fact,
with an occasional pressing, and
scrupulous care, one of these airy
gowns can be made to do for a whole
season without washing, and persons
who understand the art of dress pre-
fer to manage in this way, for there
is no doubt that even dry cleaning is
hard on the prettiness of a dainty ma
terial.
Embroidered batiste is a texture,
with most re%warding possibilities for
summary elegance, such textures
showing a filminess equal to mar
quisette, and a delicate stripping in
the weave and worked dots on the
white portion between. Lengths OF
six yards are sold for misses gowns.
the pattern costing six dollars. but as
only the least bit of ribbon is needed
for the belt and other little touches,
and the guimpe and undersleeve edges
can be made of a cheap brussels net,
the frock is still cheap.
When buying silk to trim a summer
gown in a ,f1lmy cotton mention should
be made of the fact, as the silks used
are very delicate, and in point of price
they are very cheap. Some silks priced
Twenty-Five cents a yard were in the
colors desired-Alice and Natter
blue, Helen pink, apple green, mauve,
kings blue, etc. A bit Of scarlet In
either lawn or silk is also much used
with the black and white batistes.

SLEEVES ARE TO BE SHORTER
Three-Quarter Length Promises to Be
Most Popular for the summer's
Costumes.

Dressy models in all fabrics in their
latest developments show the short
ened sleeves the three-quarters length
at present leading. Shorter sleeves
are looked for in models that are to
be worn in the coming summer.
Tailored models, those with cuffs,
all have long sleeves es a matter OF
course. Correct tailored waists do not
have either short or fanciful sleeves.
Long sleeves, necessary to meet the
tastes of many consumers who's years
prescribe the use Of youthful attire or
whose arms are too thin to be re-
vealed, or who are hopelessly old-fash-
toned in their sartorial views. have al
ways to be included In the output OF
each seasons waists and this season
is no exception. Long sleeves are
among those present, but the woman
of fashion is going to wear the waist
which has the dressy short sleeve. And
naturally, smart long gloves OF either
kid or silk will be worn.

BUSINESS M
A Lunch Fit for a King.

An active and successful youne
lady tells her food experience:
Some years ago l suffered from
prostration, induced by con
tinuous brain strain and improper
food, added to a great grief.
Il was ordered to give up my Work,
as there was great danger of my mind
failing me altogether. NY stomach
was in bad condition nervous dyspep-
STA, l think now and when Grape
Nuts food was recommended to me, ]
had no faith in 1t. However, l tried
1t, and soon there was a marked I'm
provement in my condition.
"T had been troubled with faint
spells, and had used a stimulant to
revive me. I found that by eating
Grape-Nuts at such times I was re-
lieved and suffered no bad effects.
which was a great gain. As to my
other troubles-nervous prostration,
dyspepsia, etc.-on the Grape-Nuts diet
they soon disappeared.
II wish especially to call the atten-
ten Of office girls to the great benefit
/ derived from the use of Grape-Nuts
as a moor luncheon. / was thoroughly
tired of cheap restaurants and ordin-
airy lunches, and so made the expert
ment Of taking q package Of Grape
Nuts food with me, and then slipping
out at noon and getting a nickel's
worth of sweet cream to add to it.
IT found that this simple dish, fin
ished or with an apple, peach, orange,
OF a bunch of grapes made a lunch fit
for a king. and one that agreed with
me perfectly.
Il throve SO on my Grape-Nuts diet
that l did not have to give UP my work
at all, and In the two years have had
only four lost days charged up against
me.
