SEWING ROOM HINTS.
Making Towels and Table Linen.

TT is hardly possible to have too liberal
a supply of towels for general use.
Sometimes 1t taxes the housekeeper to
keep a full supply on hand. as they have
such q way of wearing out and becoming
lost. but there are economies in towels
as well as in other things.
Do not buy fringed towels. Fringe does
not add anything except to the cost. The
best thing to buy for general house use
for bathroom and for kitchen is crash
by the piece. Cut them long and hem
by hand. For kitchen towels have a
roller and sew two yards and half into
one seam, which may slip over roller
Crash comes a cent or two cheaper
ward when bought by the piece. and
huckaback may also be purchased in that
way.

When hemming fine towels by hand'
a small, even hem can be obtained py
first running the edge of the towel to be
hemmed through the smallest hemmer
of the machine without being threaded.
Press the hem back and overcast, placing
stitches close. This is more rapid than
the old way and saves pricking the fin
gers. Ends with tiny scallops neatly but
tonholed are pretty decoration. Initial
ing is both ornamental and useful.
When using marking ink to put initials
on linen towels, do your work first with
an ordinary lead pencil. and then use the
marking ink over this work. The pencil
marks will prevent the ink from spread
ing and giving the linen a blotted APP
pearance A little practice will enable
one to do initiating evenly, and it. to-
gether with hemstitching, will give every
day towels a dainty touch.
The best wash cloths are made by
plainly knitting a strip nine inches wide
by fifteen inches long and finishing with
a simple shell border in crochet.
To darn table linen. stretch the article
smooth and tight in embroidery hoops.
Remove the presser foot from the sewing
machine, loosen the tension. slip the
hoops under the needle and without turn
ing the hoops sew back and forth until
the hole is neatly filled. Then turn the
hoops and proceed in the same manner
across the stitching already put in. The
result is gratifying. and only few mo-
ments are required for the work.
To patch table cloth, take piece of
linen the size of the hole and coat 1t
with white soap to make it stiff. Trim
the hole evenly Place the patch under
the hole after the edges have been soaped
and trimmed Place under the presser
foot of the machine. and sew the patch
backward and forward. If very fine
thread, 100 or $50 is used. it will scarcely
show. Sew on both sides, and when the
table cloth is laundered and pressed you
will find that you have Very neat
patch.

 MT. Pauline explained that the committee was to take absolute con- troI of his body and direct him where to go, through mental telepathy. No word was to be spoken until the key was found, the Post Office box un- locked and the letter therein taken to the owner of the box. He then took the hand of F. E. Nolan and started on a brisk run down Main street, stopped at Meigs Corner, returned to the Security building and entered the floor, raised the window and found the key, hid away as before Indicated.

MANUFACTURERS
 AGAINST LICENSE
 FOR BRONX HOTEL

The usual clash between the East End manufa cturers and an applicant for liquor license transfer took place before the county commission CTS this morning when the remon- strance against Patrick Flahaven's s application was heard.
 President Hamilton of the Whiting Manufacturing Co.,, and Supt Hig- gins of the same concern said @ num- Der of the employees operated heavy hammers and if they were under the influence of liquor to even the slight est extent they might be seriously in- Jured. Other remonstrants against F1ahaven were the Bridgeport Foun- dry & Machine Co.,, the Connecticut Electric Co.,, the Weidlich Manufac- turing Co., and the HenkeIs Lace Co.
 Flahaven wants the license for the Bronx hotel which he conducts at Stratford and Bishop avenue. He says this is a bona fide hotel with IT rooms and he has number of permanent guests. He claims he has an orderly place and thinks he is en- titled to a license. He brought a number of witnesses to testify in his behalf, including Assistant Town Clerk William T. Mullins

 To reporter for the Farmer Jerry
 Buckley, who was one of the first
 to arrive upon the scene afte the ex-
 plosion told with graphic description
 the condition of Lewis, who in the
 cloud of smoke. he heard calling for
 help. For Gods sake help me- he cried, "I am all blown to pieces D When asked what had happened Lewis had said that he saw a bomb in the doorway and as he was about to pick it up it exploded.
 To Thomas Bevans, a waiter in the Holcomb restaurant, James Carnody had told the same tale with the excep- tion that he believed someone had thrown the bomb.
 In statement to Patrolman Barton who believing him to be in a dying condition had secured his name and was in the act of taking an ante-mor- tenn statement, Lewis said, and later corrobOrated to the surgeon on the aIrl- bulance that he and Gallagher were passing down the street when their attention had been attracted to what appeared to be a pile of burning rags in the doorway. His companion had suggested lighting a match to see what it contained. There seemed to be a slight sputter as if the package was on fire. He struck a match and had just time to see what he believed to be 8. long red object when the ter rifle explosion stunned him. The next he remembered was lying upon the sidewalk with persons applying cold water which had been brought from a neighboring store
 This morning g. force of glaziers were at work upon the hundreds of win dOws which had been bereft of their glass. The total amount of the dam age will run into the thousands of dollars. Those who suffered most are McMahon & Wrenn, Paget & Rowe, H. Rider, Bridgeport Paper Company, Mendelson Brothers, Sargent Cigar & Plantation Company, Commercial House and Annex, Hayes Fish Com pany, Frank c. Gernert Butter Com pany and the White House Clothing Company. In some of these places the windows were not only forced out but in many instances the stock was badly damaged by either being thrown | about or ruined from the vacuum pres sure.
 A report that the explosion was not l caused by a bomb, was early discred- | tied by Chief Mooney and state police | men, who entered the cellar. They | examined the piping and con- nections from the gas mains. While | one break was found it was decided | that such a, break was due from the explosion being almost directly under heath the spot upon which the ex- olosive was located.

 The strike entered it's 7th week, to- day, and the silk industry remains almost paralyzed.
