they would not go back.
Plans were made for the men on

today. where they would be placed on

BRIDGEPORT, July 20-An Official
OF the Remington Company denied en-
phatically today that any OF the men
in that plant had walked out. Rumor
had it that Major Penfield had offered
the machinists an S-hour day and 9th
er concessions and that they had de.
cided to remain. Sub-contractors on
the other hand admitted that all ma
chinists had walked out. Among the
sub-contracting firms admitting this
were the Gaynor Manufacturing Co..
making bullets for armies OF the AL
lies and the Columbia NUt and Bolt
Company. The concerns employ be-
tween them less than 200 men. In
statement today J. ]. Keppler. vice
president OF the machinists union,
said II was not intended to call out

FOOLS THE THIEVES

Los Angeles, -CaL.--Martin v. HUFF,

other things on the edge of Burbank,
Is the author of a device for hoisting
motor melon thieves on their own

He owns a herd Of healthy and hun

raises each year a large patch of what
are called pie melons," which look
exactly like long, green watermelons,
but are absolutely inedible by human
beings.
Suffering in the past from water
melon thieves, Mr.. Huff this year
planted his pie melons just inside the
fence along the road. Every night
scores of these deceptive melons are
stolen by motorists making a detour
from the San Fernando boulevard for
the purpose-evidently directed to the
fine melon patch" by others previous

wagon and collects from the roadside
for a quarter of a mile on either side
of his home several hundred pounds
of choice hog food nicely broken up

The chief claim to attention is based
upon the fact that this kind of apron
requires almost no ironing.
Although the subject of kitchen
aprons is not one to arouse a great
amount of enthusiasm, 1t is not by
any means without interest. Many
aprons manage to be attractive, while
they cleverly fill all that is required
of them in the way of usefulness.
This means that they must cover the
figure, be plain and easily adjusted,
good looking and sh3pely. They must
be neatly finished and provided with
at least one pocket and made of ma
terial that will stand any amount Of
tubing.
All of the new aprons are made
with elbow sleeves except those that
are sleeveless. Very shapely and at
tractive models have a large bib at
the front of the body fastened by fiat
bands of the material to the belt at
the back. A favorite finish for all
edges is a fiat band of material in
contrasting color. All the fast col
ors are used with white, and striped
effects prevail.

for advancing n of her own balls. II
she fails to flip the ball from out of
bounds, the other player receives two
fips in her next turn. If a ball is
Tipped on to or touches a ball of the
opposing player, the play constitutes
a foul, and the opposing player may
take any one Of her balls, place it in
the three-quarter circle Co beneath
her basket, and have a free flip for
the basket, in addition to using her
regular turn. The player getting her
five balls into her basket first wins.

for the apron of cotton crepe, and it
