CHICAGO, May 1S.-Wealthy Chica-

the alley back of the houses on Thirty
first street where the shades are
drawn and the silvery tinkle Of the
plano and touching glasses are heard
at all hours of the night, had better
watch out. If they don't, they are
likely to receive a picture OF them

machines they leave in the alley.
This is the warning hurled broad
cast today by 100 women, comprising
the eclat of Chicago's society, who
announced that armed with pocket
electric flashlights and cameras, they
are going to find out whose machines
are left in the alleys. The women have
formed themselves into committee of
100. and they are out to get the goods

TORN BY RIOTS
New Prime Minister Was Shot ard
Fresh Revolution Breaks Out
In Lisbon.

MADRID, May 18.--A fresh reyolu-
ton has broken rout in Lisbon and
other Portuguese cities according To
advices reaching here tiday, Joao
Chagas, the prime minister, who was
snot by Senator Freitas while en-
route to Lisbon. has died of his wounds
the reports said. A dispatch to the
Spanish minister of the interior des-
cribed the situation as very critical.
The Spanish government is en-
deavoripg, to communicate with the
comm anderl of the Spanish battleshtp
Espana, supposed to have arrived OF
Lisbon harbor. If reports of new dis
turbances are true, he will be instruct
ed to land marines to protect Span
iards and other foreigners.
All dispatches from the Portuguese
capital were greatly delayed There
was no official confirmation of the
report that Premier Chagas had died
of his wounds, but a message sent
from Lisbon late last night said he
was expected to live buo few hours.
He was shot four times and his skull
fractured while enroute to Lisbon
from Oporto to become the head OF
the new government. Senator Fret
tas. his asssilant, was killed by gem
darmes.
Grave fears for the safety OF civil
lians in the Portuguese capital were
expressed by Spanish official today

LONDON, May 1S.-A Paris news
agency dispatch received here this
afternoon says that fresh rioting that
followed the attempted assassination
of the new Portuguese premier has
been put down by the Lisbon police.
Conditions in Lisbon early today were
reported nearly normal.
Another dispatch from Lisbon to-
day said that Premier Chagas is still
alive and may recover. He probably
will lose the sight OF his right eye, 1t

Government Bulletin Explains How

Kinds Of Grapes.
GET VARIETY OF TASTES
Different Kinds Of Fruit Result In
Different Tastes and Aromas,
According to This
Pamphlet.

f Anybody who is able to- can vege-
tables can make grape Juice, says a
now publication of the United States
department of agriculture, Farmers
Bulletin ga. The principle Is the
same in both cases-the sterilization
OF the product before it is stored
away. In case of grape juice this
sterilization prevents the fermenta-
ton which in making wine turns the
grape juice sugar into alcohol.
Fermentation Is caused by various
fungi yeasts, and bacteria, which ad-
here to the skins and stems of the
grapes. If these are killed, no fer
mentation is possible. They can be
killed in two ways, but one, the add
ton of antiseptics, is not possible IN
the case of any article intended for
human consumption, because the anti
septics themselves are Injurious. The
other methods, killing them by heat.
is the one used in the pastuerization
OF milk, and is equally simple and
practicable with grape juice. Practi-
cal tests indicate that grape juice Is
satisfactorily pastuerized without ap-
probable change of flavor when 1t Is
heated to mperature.varylng from
165 degrees to 176 degree Fahrenheit.
If the temperature Is allowed to reacn
200 degrees Fahrenheit, the flavor OF
the Juice is changed for the worse.
For Homo Use.
For home use there are a large
number of varieties Of grapes which
will make a pleasant and healthful
drink. No matter what the
kind. the choicest of ; fruit
should be used and it should be
we'll ripened, but not over-ripe. The
grapes should first be crushed and
pressed in an ordinary cider-mill II
the farm possesses one, or by hand II
no mill is available. The subsequent
procedure depends upon whether a
white or red Juice is desired. For a
light colored Juice. the crushed grapes
are put in a cloth sack and twisted
until the greater part of the juice is
extracted, one person holding each
end of the sack. The juice is then
put in some convenient form of double
boiler in which it does not come into
direct contact with the fire but is SUP
rounded by hot water, and gradually
heated to a temperature close to 200
degrees Fahrenheit. AS has already
been said, however, it should not be
allowed to go over this point. If no
thermometer is available, it IS best to
heat the Juice until 1t steams and then
to take it from the fire before it Is al
lowed to boil. 1t should then be pour
ed into a glass or enamelled vessel
and allowed to settle for twenty-four
hours, after which it can be drained
from the sediment and run through
some form of cloth filter. The strain
ed Juice Is then put into clean bottles
and sterilized once more in a water
bath. An ordinary wash boiler with
a thin board on the bottom for the
filed bottles to rest on is a conven-
lent home device for this purpose.
After sterilization the bottles should
be corked for about thirty minutes In
hot water.

How II Is Stored.

For red juice, the crushed grapes
are first heated to the same tempera-
ture as before and then, strained
through a clean cloth or drip bag
without pressure. Thereafter, the pro-
cess is the same as for light colored
Juice.
Grape Juice should be stored away
in bottles or jars that are not too
large. for after these have been
opened the juice is likely to spoil. II
properly made, however, the juice
should keep Indefinitely as long as 1t
is kept in sealed bottles. In this re-
spect it is, Of course like other can
ned goods, which should always be
used as soon as possible after they
have been opened.
OF the various varieties of grapes
common in this country, the Delaware
gives a Juice of delicate aroma and
excellent flavor. The Concord Is dark
ar with sprightly taste and well
known aroma The Catawba. Isabella
and Salem grapes also yield an excel
lent product. The California varieties
nroduce a very sweet juice, but in
many cases there Is little character

the kind of grape that Is most abun-
dant in the vicinity will, of course.

EXTEND EIGHT-HOUR RULE

Washington.-Acting Secretary of the
Navy Franklin ID. Roosevelt has sustain
ed the position Of the A. f. of l.. metal
trades department that the federal eight
hour law should apply to torpedo boat
engines manufactured by subcontractors.
The law gives heads of government de
partments power to buy supplies in the
open market regardless of the hours en-
ployed in the manufacture of these sup-
plies. The unionists have held that tor
pedo boat engines are built under special
specifications and are not commodity
as generally understood.
Acting Secretary Roosevelt has sus-
tanned this position and has written the
following letter to Secretary Berres of
the metal trades department
Referring to your inquiry of the 10Th
instant concerning the departments de-
cision on the question as to whether the
construction by the New London Ship
and Engine Company, as subcontractors
of the Electric Boat Company of the
engines for submarine boats for the
navy is to be regarded as eight-hour
work, have to advise you that on the
10Th instant the department addressed
to the Electric Boat Company letter,
saying:
Heretofore the department, following
opinions of a preceding attorney gen.
eral, has held that the engines for sub
marines under construction by your sub
contractor, the New London Shin and
Engine Company. were excepted from
the eight-hour rule by the second sec
tion OF the act, as being materials or
articles that may usually be purchased
in the open market and not of a kind
customarily manufactured by the gov
ernment, but the view of the attorney
general set forth in said opinion makes
it plain, as you will see upon perusal
thereof, that the engines of submarines
fall within the eight-hour restriction, and
not within the exceptions therefrom of
the second section of the act
1T is requested that you inform your
subcontractor, the New London Ship
and Engine Company. of the foregoing
and instruct that company to observe
the requirement of the eight-hour law
in the construction of the engines they
are now building for submarine boats
under contract with you for the navy"

Birth of the Thcater.

The theater is the creation Of the an
cient Greeks The drama, in the true
sense of the word, was born in Athens
Immediately after the great victory over
the Persians, B. c. 500-4s0. The famous
Dionysiac theatre at Athens was COM
pleted about B. c. $40. Rome was never
much on the theater. In Rome there
was far too much real tragedy every
day, so that the people had no occasion
to mimic it on the stage. 1t was as late
as B. c. 154 when the first permanent
playhouse was erected in Rome by Cass
ius. Even as late as B. c. So Pompey
had all he could do to make the theater
popular in the Eternal City,-New York

Women employees of the Crown Cor

Company has secured concessions.
Women core makers employed by the
Crane Company have secured the eight
hour day. 10 per cent wage increase
and recognition of their shop committee.
Men workers are continuing their
eight-hour progress and many interna-
tional unions have assigned organizers
to assist in this work.
Three strikes in as many boiler shops
were settled by the management grant
ing the 5O-hour week in place of the
55-hour schedule, effective about a month
hence when contracts can be adjusted

The absence of armies of strikebreak-
ers has made it possible for the numer
Gus strikes to be conducted in peaceful

From south OF Wichita.

And worked awhile ior Pa.
His eyes were blue as the Pawnee sky;
His hair was brown and curly.

Queer Creatures.

There are microscopic creatures which
live in roof cutters and on the bark of
trees and are known as water bears
and wheel animalculae If allowed to
dry up under the microscope they can
be seen to shrivel into shapeless masses,
which may be kept for years uninjured
in the dried state On being placed, af-
ter this long interval, in water they
gradually plump up, resume their proper
shape and move about in search of food
just as if nothing had happened. Much
of the same is true for the minute
worms which, from the substances in
which they live, are known as paste and
vinegar eels.-Westminster Gazette.

Know YOURSELF.

If you're not succeeding have heart
to heart talk with yourself. Maybe you
haven't so many brains as you imagine,
or maybe you don't know how to use
them to get results. Have ten minute
talk with yourself every night, and do
it in the coolest blooded way you posi-
bly, can. Every little failure of the day
should be analyzed; every opportunity
you have let pass you uncaught should
be used as a club on your brain. Then
avoid those errors tomorrow.

Japan's National Symbol.

The origin of the emblem of the sun
as the Japanese national symbol dates
back to time immemorial. The first
record of its use on land is that of a
famous war lord of the eleventh CEN
tury Again in the fifteenth century
the emblem was adopted by the feudal
lords and warriors. The connection OF
the emblem with the navy is also deep
rooted, having had local usage as early
as II A. ID. and more extended field
in 40 A. ID. The official adoption OF
the sun flag to represent the nation took
place in 1S10-Argonaut.
