One man took the wheel and the
other began cranking. He cranked
until he was breathless and red in the
face. Then his companion alighted and
began to crank. For half an hour the
men took turns at the crank, but to
no purpose.

When the car was provided with

Chicago, June 15.-The first day
of the big Chicago street car strike
passed without serious mishap. NO
surface cars were run and only q
few trains on the elevated. There
was nothing resembling regular
service except on the suburban lines
Of the steam railroads. A wooden
block, thrown through a window Of
an elevated train, was the only
violence.
The strike was the big question
before the city council. Various res
olutions looking to q settlement
were proposed. One would pledge
the city, which is a partner In the
profits Of the surface lines, to pay
a proportionate share Of any Ad-
vances granted the men. Another
suggested that q mediation board
OF five aldermen be appointed.
All manner Of vehicles were
pressed into service, even roller
skates, but tens Of thousands walk
ed to their places of employment. A
drizzling rain most of the day add
ed to the discomfort.

KEEP UP ANCIENT INDUSTRY
Tanners OF Hebron, In Palestine, still
Turn Out Water Bottles Made
of Goatskins.

Hebron, one of the Oldest cities In
Palestine, has always been famous for
its oriental water bottles, made OF
goatskins. Here are to be found large
tanneries, where these receptacles are
turned out by thousands. Lying on
the ground in rows may be seen hun
dreds of goatskins awaiting purchas-
ers. Each skin is inflated, either with
water or with air, so that the buyer
may know 1t is water-tight. The major
lty of the skins used come from Ara
bia, while a large number are also re-
ceived from the Lebanons. They are
brought to Hebron by the camel cara
vans, and are bought by the tanneries
and turned into bottles. They pass
through many processes, and q tanner
will spend q week on q single skin be
fore It is rendered water-tight and
seFviceable. From Hebron these odd
bottles" are sent to all parts Of the
East, thousands going down into
Egypt and the Sudan every year. They
are also used as RATS. A number OF
inflated skins are attached to . light
wooden frame, which then not only
readily floats, but is capable OF carry
ing quite . heavy load. Such rafts are
to be seen on the rivers Of Syria and
also on the Euphrates and TigTis.
