kean the ArmhoIes Down.

1t is strange that not one person in
thousand knows how to help man
on with his coat or lady with her
jacket. They all make the mistake of
holding the garment too high. especial
ly the last sleeve. They lift it so that
a man nearly dislocates his arm reach
ing for it. The more futilely he grabs
and claws and lurches for IT the higher
they hold it until the wretched victim
would have to get on II pair of stills to
find the armhole. The proper way?
Why, hold the coat so that the arm
holes are as low down as the mans
waist, taking care to keep the skirt Of
the garment Off the floor, Of course. If
there is any struggle to find the last
armhole, drop 1t still lower. Never
raise 1t. Drop it until his hand slips
into it naturally.

AeITAToRs USE REvoLvERs AND
TROOPS FIRE THEIR RIFLES.
Strikers Worsted in All Battles
Street Cars Upset; Many Shops
Are Looted.

Buda Pest, Hung. - Fierce fighting
between the strikers and the police
and troops took place again in Buda
Pest, although the strikers had been
ordered by the labor leaders to a
their agitation and return to work.
Ir the fighting the strikers used re-
volvers and stones and other missiles,
while the troops replied with volleys
from their rifles. Many persons on
both sides we're wounded. In all the
battles the strikers were worsted.
AS on Thursday, the mob continued

were overturned, shops we're looted

LONDON FACES STRIKE.
Transport Workers Go Out and May
Tie Up Food Supply.

London, England.-The efforts Of the
government to stave OF the dock
strike By appointing a court of inquiry
have failed and the general opinion is
that the strike of $4,000 to $50, 900
men will prove a more serious matter
for London than ever the recent coal
strike.
Little hope is held out for a speedy
settlement and unless the mems de-
mands are granted they threaten to
call out the transport workers of the
whole country and possibly also the
railway men, thus involving the king
dom in the gravest labor crisis it has
ever experienced.
The strike began at 6 o'clock Fri
day morning and $50 laden ships of a
total tonnage of over 1000. 900, many
with perishable food cargoes, will be
held up in the Thames. There is very
little reserve meat in cold storage and
London will soon be in the position of
a besieged city.
