Of the injunction granted by a Judge,
the restaurant keeper lost and the
restaurant was organized.
The next strike was at 1852 w.
Madison street in February, 1913, and
the last big one, the result Of which
is still in doubt, is the Henrici strike,
and Elizabeth Maloney does not be-
lieve that that strike is lost.
Strikes, however, though they are
the battles that come to the attention
of the public, are not the hardest
. battles that Elizabeth MalOney has
waged in behalf of working women.
Over a hundred restaurants signed
up with the union, which means that
they agreed to pay girls So a week
and give them one day of rest in
seven, and Elizabeth MaIoney played
leading part in winning these bat
ties.
And l haven't the least doubt that
before either of these girls are
through with the waitress situation
in Chicago the Restaurant Keepers
Association of wealthy employers will
go down to defeat, for these girls are

Heart of the HaIIstone.

If it were not for the countless tril-
lions of dust particles that ffeat sepa-
rately invisible in the atStphsre
there could be no ra1ndrops, snow cryss
tails or hailstones. From a perfectly
dustless atmosphere the moisture
would descend in ceaseless rain with
out drops. The dust particles serve as
nuclei about which the vapor gathers.
The snow crystal is the most beautiful
creation of the aerial moisture, and
the hailstone is the most extraordi-
nary. The heart of every hailstone is
a tiny atom of dust Such an atom,
with little moisture condensed about
it, is the germ from which may grow
hailstone capable of telling a man
or smashing a window. But first it
must be caught up by current of air
and carried to the level of the lofty
cirrus clouds, five or six or even 10
miles high. Then, continually grow
ing by fresh accession of moisture. it
