LAWRENCE, Mass, March IL
That the great strike of textile work.
ers here, now in its tenth week, will
be ended on Wednesday, was the be-
lief Of the subcommittee of the gen.
eral strike committee, which went 10
Boston for a final conference with
the mill owners today. There Presi-
dent Wood Of the American Woolen
Company and the other mill owners
had promised to demonstrate exactly
IN dollars and cents what the latesn
offer to the workers meant.
Wood has told the committee that
this meant an increase In the lowest
paid class of labor that which gets
from four TO seven dollars weekly OF
about twelve per cent The higher
paid workers will get much lower
proceeding of increase The members
of the subcommittee were a unit to-
day in stating that, if the operators
con demonstrate TO them that their
offer means what they say it does and
will also agree 10 the suggested modi-
fcation of the speed up system and
not 10 discriminate against any ons
because of activity during the strike.
they will recommend to the full COM
mittec the immediate acceptance Of
the offer. That body. 1t Is believed
will Immediately concur and pass the
offer along to the strikers as whole.
So certain were the strike leaders
that the settlement offer would be ac-
cepted that they prepared today for
a mass meeting on the Common of all
the strikers. IL was believed certain
that they would do whatever their
leaders urged. The unskilled work

enough 10 permit them 70 do much
more than exist, We're the ones for
whom the fight mainly was made and

Because Of the belief that the strik

EXPERT LAUNDERING.

There are people, and those who
should know better, who labor under
the impression that laundry work Is
merely matter of muscle, and that
any one with the. physical strength and
little intelligence will make a good
laundress. There was never a more
mistaken idea, as We have learned by
sad experience.
A successful laundress must be an
educated woman, something of a
chemist, a good fair amount of judg
ment and a conscientious, painstaking
worker.
There Is knowledge to be used in
the choice of soap and starches, In the
removing Of spots and stains.
To do the right kind of laundry
work 1t is necessary to know how to
wash the most delicate colors with
out fading them.
Most colors may be retained by a
salt or vinegar bath, a tablespoonful
to a quart Of water. A general rule
is to immense all light colors in salt
water and dark colors in vinegar.
Blue is delicate color, yet any
shade may be permanently fixed by be-
ing soaked before it is Numbered for
half an hour in eight or ten quarts Of
water in which is dissolved an ounce
Of sugar Of lead.
Green is another frail color; lump
of alum in the rinse water will set
this color
There are three important things to
consider in washing colored clothes,
after the treatment which sets the
color. First, they should never be
washed In boiling hot water; second,
soap should never be rubbed on, but
always dissolved, and third, they
should always be dried as quickly as
possible in the shade and ironed,
when possible, before they are quite
dry, and on the wrong side
If a garment rs only slightly soiled,
the rubbing and sousing in the soapy
water will cleanse 1t, then the rinsing
should be very thorough. The whole
process should be done as quickly as
possible.
The most careful washer may ruin
the result of her work by careless
ironing.
To be good ironer means much
practice and infinite patience.

"WHY SHOULD | USE
CUTICURA SOAP7"

There Is nothing the matter with
my skin, and l thought Cuticura Soap
was only for skin troubles" True, IL
is for skin troubles, but its great mis-
sion is to prevent skin troubles. For
more than a generation its delicate
emollient and prophylactic properties
have rendered it the standard for this
purpose, while its extreme purity and
refreshing fragrance give to it all the
advantages Of the best Of toilet soaps.
1t Is also invaluable In keeping the
hands soft and white, the hair live
and glossy, and the scalp free from
dandruff and irritation.
While its first cost is a few cents
more than that of ordinary toilet
soaps, 1t is prepared with such care
and Of such materials, that it wears
to wafer, often outlasting several
cakes Of other soap, and making It's
use. in practice, most economical.
Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, but the truth of
these claims may be demonstrated
without cost by sending to "Cuti-
cura," Dept L. Boston, for a liberal
sample cake. together with thirty-two-
page book on the skin and hair.

the services of an usher Marie re-
marked that 1t would be some time
before they could be shown to their

Here is an usher!" exclaimed the
elder woman, handing her coupons to

He showed them to two of the most
desirable seats in the house and in
formed them that there seemed to be
some mistake in the tickets, but he
thought these seats were better than
the ones they had reserved.
Mrs. Warburton agreed that they

sight and fetched them some.

After the curtain rose the usher re-
turned and occupied the seat next to
her mother.
They surely have odd customs in
towns" concluded Marie, and then she
became absorbed in the play.
When the curtain fell after the first
act, her mother asked the usher some
question, and his reply led to discus.

Fashion In Canes.

The manager Of cane and umbrella
department in large New York con
Germ was surprised at the question:
rs there such thing as fashion in
canes" or course there is. The
straight canes, with knob handles OF
all shapes and made of all materials,
were, so he said, ALI the rage" few
years ago. Conservative men wore
simple canes, but miniature band
masters baton was easily disposed of
Then came the thin, switch cane, and
few years ago nothing sold better
than canes with straight handles. To-
day everybody wants crook handle
cane, and there is good reason for
the style. In crowded subway and ele-
waited trains and surface cars where a
man must hold to strap and has only
one hand left for cane and paper, the
crook handle comes very handy. 1t
hangs at the pocket or over the arm,
and its shape is graceful and sensible.
1t will not be displaced as the leader
In many years.
