81 don't believe police stories given
out by the police unless happen to
personally know the veracity of the
policeman telling the story. 1 don't
believe the strikers are such fools as
to think they will help their cause by
beating up an old woman of ga. It's
idiotic to suppose strikers would take
such a course. The ripping of car
pets and general destruction wrought
in the Sampson home, as told by the
police, sounds like another one of
the jobs pulled off by paid wreck
ing crew after the manner described
by Bat Masterson in his affidavit on
what his orders were as chief of
sluggers at Lamm's clothing shop"

BE-HILLMAN LINES THINGS UP
"If anybody is discouraged with
the garment strike let them go to one
of the mass meetings, in Hold Carriers
hall or at the Jewish Educational Ali
ance. They will see the spirit of the
strikers. They will see there is more
fight and more endurance to the
strikers now than at any time since
the walkout seven weeks ago."
With this as starter Sidney Hill
man, president Amelgamated Gar
ment Workers, today lined out the
strike situation. He pointed to the
fact that in the strike five years ago
the garment workers union was out
twenty weeks.
"And where the union had no
strike fund coming in then except
from outsiders" he said, to-day
there are $4,000 workers of our union
who have jobs and are drawing
wages weekly with which to pay
dollar apiece to the strike fund.
''How long can the strikers last?
/ don't know. No man can tell. 1t
depends entirely on the fighting stuff,
the endurance there is in the strikers
personally.
Sitting in the front row at one
hall yesterday were twelve men and
girls with their heads wrapped in
bandages. They are a fraction of
those who have been bounced on by
the hired sluggers who continue to
operate without interference from
the police Though their heads were
bloody they were not beaten. Their
hope and courage is higher and more
desperate now than at any previous
time. They believe they will win if |
they stick. have seen persons who |
were disheartened go to one of these |
mass meetings and catch the spirit |
of the strikers. They show the spirit |

PEACH BUTTER

Use ripe peaches, put them into
cold water, rub off the "fuzz" and
then peel and put into preserving ket-
tie to cook. When soft, measure and
add l cup Of sugar for each cup and a
half of cooked peaches used. Put
back over very slow fire and boil very
slowly until the butter is clear and
does not run when a little is turned
into a dish.
The greatest care must be exer-
cised, for it will stick to the kettle
and burns very easily. Seal while hot.

TODAY'S BEAUTY
SUGGESTIONS

Face powder simply covers up an
unattractive complexion and leaves no
lasting benefits. Those who have tried
a simple spurmax face lotion find it
much better. as it removes skin dis
colorations, such as freckles and tan,
and makes the skin smooth, white
and velvety. This lotion is made by
dissolving four ounces of spurmaX in
one-half pint hot water, then adding
two teaspoonfuls glycerin. This COM
p,exion beautifier does not rub off or
show like powder. and gives a more
refined appearance. 1t removes both
shininess and sallowness, rapidly CIV
ing the skin. a permanent healthy,
youthful appearance.
An especially fine shampoo for this
weather can be had at trifling expense
by dissolvng a teaspoonful of can
throx in a cup of hot water. Pour
slowly on scalp and massage briskly.
This creates a soothing, cooling lather
that dissolves and removes all dan
druff. excess oil and dirt. Rinsing
leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft
and plant, while the hair takes on a
glossy richness of natural color, also a
1uffiness which makes ii seem very
much heavier than 1t is. After a can
throx shampoo arranging the hair is a
pleasure.-Advertise

THINKS SUFFRAGE
WILL GO THROUGH
Husband of State Leader Who
Drove Truck Believes in
Amendment

One of the most interesting analyses
of the probable effect of the tour of
the Woman's Liberty Bell on the vot-
day by Frank NJ. Roessing of Pitts
burgh.
For the past ten days Mr.. Roes-
sing has acted as a volunteer chauf-
feur and mechanician for the bell par
ty and driven the huge truck bearing
the bell through half a dozen coun-
ties. AS result of his observations
along the route and his study of the
crowds that came out to see the bell
and participate in the receptions ac-
corded it. Mr.. Roessing believes that
there is enough real suffrage sentiment
in the State to assure the passage of
the suffrage amendment on Election
Day.
Victory in Sight
Il have always believed that the
game fight which the women have
been putting up for the past three
years wovid bring them victory" he
said, but 1 have always refused to
be quoted to that effect because have
felt that there might be people who
would misunderstood and say. oh,
he's got to predict victory. Look who
his wife is
For the benefit of the uninitiated it
should be casually mentioned that Mr..
Roessing is the husband of the Presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania Woman
Suffrage Association.
But that fact really has nothing to
do with my present predictions" he
continued, with a smile. for I'm talk
ing about my own personal observa-
tions on the situation and not those
of Mrs. Roessing. Naturally, l want to
see her win. just the same as the
thousands of other husbands whose
wives have worked so hard in this
campaign. We know the ideals they
are fighting for and we're with them
to a man, and if good wishes and en-
couragement amount to anything
