BEST METHODS or IRONING
Seem Small Thlngs in Themselves
But Success In the Laundry De-
pends Upon Them.

Handkerchiefs should be ironed all
over on both sides till they are quite
dry, exactly folded so as to bring the
name or initials on the top fold, and
well pressed. Iron very straight by
the hem or selvage. not across from
the corners, then press out the cor
ners carefully and square.
Small things, such as table napkins
or tray cloths, must be ironed all
over on both sides. beginning with the
right. The pressure of the iron on the
damp linen will polish it and raise
bright gloss. which must be on the
upper surface. If the wrong side IS
ironed first it will be glossy and the
right side dull.
To remove. blisters from stiffened
linen press the part with clean, wet
rag; place the iron on the spot, re-
move it, and the blister will have dis
appeared. Elisters arise generally
from imperfect starching, so care
should be taken that every portion Of
the fabric gets we'll starched.
Be careful not to iron cotton or
muslin materials when they are too
dry OF they will have rough APP
pearance and no gloss. Prints and
colored goods must not be ironed with
too hot an iron or the colors will be
spoiled. Iron embroidery on the wrong

CRISIS IN CABINET.
FUTURE OF HOME RULE BILL
WRAPPED IN CLOUDS
PREMIER WEAKENS.
CRISIS IN THE KINGS ARMY
Many Officers Resign to Avoid Mill
tary Service In North of Ireland
All. Face. Courts-Martial - Troops
Are Being Moved to Scene.

London, March 25.-The future of
clouds. Three senior officers from the
Curragh camp, who had resigned, re-
turned to Ireland to resume their
posts Monday after conference at
the war Office, which they said entire
ly satisfied them.
The Times confirms the announce
ment that General Cough has resumed
his post, and comments on the written
assurance that his troops are not to be
used to coerce the people of Ulster
into acceptance of the home rule bill
This is considered a direct surrender
by the government.
The army has checkmated the gov
eminent, according to the Unionists
view, and the Covenanters of Ulster
have won their fight.
No declarations of Full steam
ahead" or Meeting force with force"
were heard from Premier Asquith and
other Liberals in the debate in the
house of commons.
London, March 24.-Gen. Sir Arthur
Paget visited Currah on Saturday and
gave General Cough of the Third cav
airy brigade the option of taking COM
mand at Ulster or retiring, according
to the Sunday Observer here. Gen
eral Cough, who was allowed two
hours for consideration, resigned i'm
mediately. The Observer says also
that the government has decided to
issue 200 warrants for the arrest of
the leaders in Ulster.
The governments military precau-
tons to preserve order in Ulster pre-
cipitated a crisis without parallel in
the history of the British army. Rather
than be placed in a position where
they might be called on to act against
the Ulster covenanters, numerous Off
GERS resigned their commissions.
While the war Office refused to say
how many had resigned, popular be-
lief, based on reports from the differ
ent regiments, was that the number
of Withdrawals had crippled the whole
military organization in Ireland and
prevented carrying OuI IHS vi uSIS lOA
moving several large bodies of troops.
The Marquis of Londonderry, one of
the Ulster leaders, said that nothing
of the sort had occurred in the British
army since the days of the American
revolution.
The entrance of King George on the
scene as peacemaker was the dramatic
event of the day. He had long confer
ences with the prime minister, Mr.. AS
quith; the secretary of stare for war,
Colonel Seely, and several high Off
GERS, and afteIward summoned Field
Marshal Lord Roberts, who had been
criticized by the liberals for utter
ances which they construed as en-
enlargement to the officers to refuse
to obey orders.
Meantime the movement of troops
continued in Ireland. The center of
interest shifted to Curragh, rs miles
from Dublin, where the Third cavalry
brigade under General Gollgh and the
Fourteenth infantry brigade under
Colonel Rolf were stationed.

quired for passage.

sippi, which provided that only white

frage, was lost, "A to 81.
Immediately after the vote was
taken Senator Shafroth of Colorado

amendment providing that whenever
five per cent of the voters OF any state
petitioned for the question Of woman
suffrage to be submitted to the vot'
ers the question should be SO submit
ted, in liea of an amendment to the
state constitution.
The proposed Shafroth amendment
embodied the plan which has been ad'
vocated by the National Association
for Woman Suffrage through its con
pressfOnal committee here.
Senator Ollie James of Kentucky
asserted that his state had had one
limited experience of woman suffrage
in a local school election. He said on

LABOR BODY DEFENDED
MITCHELL WARMLY UPHOLDS
WESTERN FEDERATION.
Denounces Industrial FeudaIism,"
Which He Says Existed in Michi-

Washington, March 25-John Mitch
ell, former president of the United
Mine Workers and for ten years chair
man of the trades committee on agree
ment of the National Civic federation,
warmly defended the Western Fedora
ton of Miners, and denounced indus
trial feudalism," which he alleged ex
listed in the Michigan copper district,
and in the Colorado and West Vir-
ginia coal fields, when he appeared
before the house subcommittee on the
Michigan strike Monday.
''The charge made by mine owners
in Michigan that the Western Fedora
ton of Miners is a Socialist organiza-
ton and that on that account agree
ments with 1t cannot be made, is ut
terly fallacious," said Mitchell. "The
Western Federation has for some
years made trade agreements its fun
damental policy. For IL years it has
been in control of the Butte copper
districts, where perfect harmony has
existed with the Amalgamated Copper
company
Red Socialism does not enter into
the situation as factor. The West
ern Federation is affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor, which
has no more connection with the So
cialist party than with any other
party
The mining companies had no quar-
rel apparently with the Socialists. 1t
was only after the union asked for
more wages that they began to talk
CT red Socialism"
Both representatives Macdonald
and Mitchell urged legislation to pre-
vent the importation of armed guards
into strike districts from other states
and to prevent strikebreakers from
being deceived as to conditions in
strike field to which they might be
taken.
