The National Press Association
was royalty entertained in Denver
this week by the local Press Club. A
feature was the concert at the Audi
torium Tuesday night. when the visi-
tors were shown how. in few min
utes, the interior could be transformed
from theater with a seating capacity
of 1000 to a convention hall capable
of comfortably seating $4,000.

Company, which has since refused to
inaugurate union conditions. Most of
the independent mines in the North
ern field employ members of the Unit
ed Mine Workers. This strike has al.
ready been of longer duration than
any previous one in the history of the
national organization. and the boys
are remaining as firm in their deter
mination to win as when they walked
out of the mines three and a half
years ago.

A General Awakening.

The trend of the times is towards
organization. the workers are uniting
in ever increasing numbers, and that
great body, the American Federation
of Labor, now numbers over two mil
lion members. which bears evidence
of the general awakening of the toll
ing masses of our country. They are
certainly growing to realize that only
through affiliation with the mighty Ia
Dor movement it is possible to obtain
those conditions for which they are
striving.-Retail Clerks Advocate.

Lewis Fills the Bill.

In naming David ]. Lewis of Mary
land as chairman of the House COM
mittee on labor the Democratic party
has done a great service for the
American workingman. The action is
being acclaimed on all sides in Wash
ington, d. c., where it is generally
recognized that Mr.. Lewis is the fit
test man in Congress to head this i'm
portant committee. He will prove a
tower of strength for American labor
in Washington.-Iron City Trades

life
IL some OF the better fruit Is TO be
packed in boxes more careful atten-
ton must be given to grading and siz-
ing. as the contents of the box pack
ages must be strictly uniform.
Our standard apple box may be
packed with dozen or more diner
ent sizes OF apples. Different arrange
ment permits this. and anyone having
carefully sized apples can become
skillful first by knowing the tech
nlque, and second. by practice to at
| tain speed.
| While it is likely that Purdue Will
soon issue an illustrated bulletin on
packing apples, yet it may be well to
mention some of the problems to be
overcome when packing the box.
Alignment and compactness.-When
the grading has been well done the
alignment is easily secured. BY keep
ing the lateral rows even as you pro-
coed in each layer, the companion
rows reach the end of the box at the
same time. Where trouble Is encoun-
tered in a layer coming out slack at
the end. it may generally be remedied
either by substituting slightly larger
size. or more room for needed fruits
may be obtained by drawing that layer
endwise with the palms of the hands.
BuIae.-By using the more elongat.
ed apples across the center OF each
layer, and the flatter apples at the
ends of that layer. the center OF the
packed box may be from one to one
and one-fourth inches higher than the
box. This Is called the swell or bulge
and allows for certain amount OF
. shrinkage With elastic soft wood
, used for box tops and bottoms foul
cleats are needed) box will conform
, to this shrinkage and still keep the
contents compactly uniform
I Height Of Ends.-To be we'll pack
\ ed. the ends of the top layer are tt

I This is secured by having used thu
, more fiat apples for the ends and the
y longer ones at the center. In extrem'
\ cases Of fiat apples. they may b.
q packed with the cheek up for laye
p or two that the desired height nigh
J. be gained.
e The well-packed box must contain
|. fruits of one size, compactly and UNI
Z formly placed, so that full value

Swinuinu Jardinieres.

Our Oriental friends seem TO have
solved the problem Of the summer
storm and the porch plants by using
swinging jardinieres made of split
bamboo and plated grasses. We all
know the havoc wrought among our
beloved ferns BY the sudden violent
bursts of wind which come on hot
summer days and come, seemingly,
out Of a clear sky, with scarcely
moment in which to shelter the cher
ished potted plants. These jardtnieres
of split bamboo hanging from the
porch roof by strands Of plated grass
just sway gently back and forth and
by so doing allow the plants to accom-
modate themselves more readily to
the gusts of wind, and so little dam
age results Besides their usefulness
the beauty of these swinging jardi
nieres will appeal to any woman who
has an eye for the artistic. They are
almost the last word for prettiness
for the porch fitted up with hanging
screens and furniture of bamboo.

Fancy Towel.

An unusually handsome towel can
be made OF heavy linen buck and cor
onation crochet insertion. Procure a
buck towel OF the size desired 1.-THE In
sertion is rather too heavy for the
small guest towel, with hemstitched
ends. Cut one end of about an inch
and half above the hem. On the
raw edge OF the towel and on the
raw edge of the piece cut of, make the
narrowest possible hens by hand.
The coronation crochet to be used
is that beautiful lace made by crochet
ing coronation braid into a design with
heavy crochet cotton. II is quite as
effective as cluny. Join the two
places of the towel, after they are
each hemmed, by whipping on to both
small hens the strip OF insertion.
Only one end of the towel should be
ornamented in this fashion, the hem
stitching being sufficient for the other
end.

Bed Linen Economy.

1t pays to turn sheets at the first
sign of wear in the middle. 1t also
pays to make sheets at home and to
get a rather lightweight muslin,
choosing exactly the same weight, for
pillow cases. The unworn parts OF
sheets may then be made into pillow
cases The making of sheets and pill
low cases is trifiing matter, and the
saving on single sheet is at least
20 cents, to say nothing of the fact
that the quality Of the muslin you
buy is better than the average mate
rial used for readymade bed linen. II
you have linen sheets and pillow cases
the saving Is more marked Aside
from the comfort Of sheets three yards
long they we're better as they are
not torn or strained in the constant
effort to pull them up.

WITH SLASHED SKIRT
IDEA THAT MAKES FOR GREATER
COMFORT IN WALKING.
Slight Opening and Draped FuIlness
From the Front Give Also the Ef-
feet of More Volume-IIIus-
tration Shows Result

Two rival modes are being shown
In which the prevailing movement
toward greater comfort in narrow
skirts is emphasized, says the Kan
sas City Star. One is in slashing the
skirt at the feet and the other is
in the pannier-like draperies and
tunics which, although they do not
add to the actual width at the foot,
produce an appearance OF amplitude
by the extra width below the waist.
A very good example of these two
treatments is demonstrated in the
accompanying sketch. which repre-
sents a new model developed in
crepe de chine.
All of the soft. pliable silks OF
medium weight and color are being
used for afternoon street and tea
dresses, and there is nothing nicer
than crepe de chine, which retains Its
hold on popular fancy despite the
the list.
Oyster white is the color of this
costume, and though the skirt is real
" quite narrow at the feet the slash
allows ample room for walking, ant

With the wide variance OF late
years in the size and quality OF ap-
pies. the necessity arises for definite
standards Of value. The many spe-
cialized uses for apples make 1t de-
sirable to have uniformity in each
recognized package. Apples as pack
ed for market should be uniform In
variety. shape, size, color. degree OF
maturity. quality and appearance
Uniformity indicates care, reflects
quality and promises full value.
The average grower imagines that
the largest fruits In mixed lot de-
termine It's value to the purchaser.
We find crates and barrels faced with
this idea In mind. The critical buyer
il greatly influenced by what he can
see. yet experience has taught him to
examine within. His valuation fs based
on the poorest specimens with moth
ing extra paid for those OF better quail
ity. Both buying and selling may be
more satisfactorily carried on IL the
contents OF a package are OF def
mite grade. Standardized In this way,
the producer can set definite price
with the expectation OF receiving 1t.
The purchaser. knowing that it is
standard. gets definite value for a
definite price. In fact, some of the
most easily made money in the apple
business Is made by this very plan OF
sorting a lot OF mixed sizes so that
each grade Is uniform and attracts
buyers who desire that grade. Al
grades can be sold. but the grower
should realize that he is wasting
money by mixing grades or by trying
TO mislead experienced buyers.

place TO say that much expense in siz
