Quickly.
MEN ARE STILL OUT
No Effort Will BE Made to
Enforce Munitions
Act.

LONDON, July 16 S;45 p. m)--
Today brought no change in the South
Wales coal strike situation. The wet
weather which kept the men indoors
prevented mass meetings which had
been arrenged, but a few gatherings
took place in small halls where speak
ers devoted themselves to attacks on
the colliery owners and the press,
which is outspoken in condemnation
Of the strike.
The executive committee of the
South Wales miners federation, most
Of the members of which are opposed
to the strike, came to London today
and conferred with Walter Runciman,
president of the board Of trade, who, it
was understood, made new proposals
for a settlement. These will be con-
sidered at a meeting in the morning
There was no indication of any
weakening on the part of the men, but
the impression still prevailed that
few days would see the end of the
walkOut. II was not believed that the
Introduction of the munitions of war
act could force the men to work, for
it is impossible to bring 10000 men
before the courts to impose fines for
cuntravening the act. In fact the re-
sort to this measure was believed
rather TO have made the situation
worse and the mems demands now in
Clude its withdrawal so far as coal
mining is concerned.
Supplies Of coal on hand are suf-
ficient TO prevent any embarrassment
for week or more SO far as the navy
is concerned.
There is a possibility that David
Lloyd George, British minister of
munitions, will go to Wales with a
view to making an attempt to secure
settlement Of the coal strike. He has
been asked from many quarters to use
his personal influence in this matter.

Use for Extra Table Leaves.

II you have an extension table in
the dining room with several extra
leaves, have you found the leaves a
trouble to dispose of when they are
not in use?
The other day a certain housewife
made most practical disposal of these
leaves. She converted them into a
serving table at one end of the dining
room. The boards were not fastened
down and could be easily removed
when they were needed for the table
Anyone who is at all handy with
tools could make the necessary rack
for the boards to rest on, or a car
penter could put it together at very
little expense. This rack only held
two boards. One rested across the
top and one across the bottom, form
ing two shelves. 1t was made OF
strips of wood about an inch and a
half square. The rack stood about
two and a half or three feet high.
Each two uprights were held to-
gether two inches from the top and
two from the bottom by strips of
wood the width of the extra leaves.
The two pairs of legs thus making a
long, four-legged rack, with bars
across the top and bottom for the
extra leaves to rest on, one leaf form
ing the top shelf and the other the
lower shelf. The rack was stained the
color Of the table leaves and slight
polish given to IL, so that at first
p'ance the difference in the wood was
not obvious.
On the lower shelf, which was sell
dom used. various serving dishes and
pieces of silver were placed and the
upper shelf was kept clear to ho,1
the serving dishes in use during the
meal.
1t made very simple and nice
lokng set of shelves, and no one
would have noticed that it was de-
vice for holding the extra taole
leaves.
