GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE HAND
IN BREAD STRIKE

Chicago, April 29-The strike Of
master bakers in Chicago which was
called In fifteen Of the largest bak-
cries yesterday afternoon has as
sumed serious proportions today In
the opinion Of city officials. The walk
out by the strikers who are demand
Ing increased pay, shorter hours and
improved working conditions, has les
sened the daily bread supply by H.
000, 900 loaves, 1t is estimated, and II
Is feared additional smaller bakeries
will be forced to close Immediately
Owners Of the plants and members OF
the bakers union held separate meet
ings and each side declared its inten-
ton Of standing firm and 1t was re-
ported there was littlel likelihood OF
an immediate settlement of the dis
pute. Members Of the State board
of arbitration arrived today to Of
fer their services in the interests of
a sediment.
If the strike Is not settled within
a reasonable time it is possible that
the Federal government may take ac-
ton in relieving the situation either
by communicating number of the
plants and operating them to supply
the needs of the $500 boys at the
Great Lakes naval training station at
Lake Bluff, H., and the thousands of
army recruits now in Chicago, and
the several hundred patients of the
marine hospital, or by selling all the
bakeries and operating them under
governmental control as a war meas
ure.
Representatives. og the Bakers
union declared they would welcome
any action that will result in the OPP
Grafton of the closed plants under
governmental control.
Agents of the Federal government
are misunderstanding the effect of the
strike and have noterd that large
majority of the strikers were either
born in Germany or are of German
parentage.

The tides are about to be tied down

tidewater project at Cape Split. An

DRANK FROM SAUCER
WeII-B Bred Women Imbibed Their Tea
in That Way Not More Than Two
Generations Ago.

Let me add a word to the remarks
about tea, an English correspondent
writes to the Boston Herald.
/ saw in the Victoria and Albert mu-
scum a teapot which was presented by
Lord George Berkeley &c the East In
dia company. II is said to be the earl
lest teapot known, and the date 1870 is
given. This pot is shaped like a coffee
pot.
My grandmother, a singularly we'll
bred old lady, and her women friends
always poured tea from cup TO saucer
and drank from the saucer which was
very thin but of a generous size. In
too many hotels and even in some pri-
waite houses the cups are too thick. A
sensitive person finds the tea served
In them ~tasteless. AS for that, few
women know how to brew tea. AS a
rule IL is too strong. For this and 9th
er reasons | prefer ale In its native
pewter. Perhaps l IA aided in this
Choice by an entry in the journal OF
the Rev. John Wesley. July 6, 1746,
In which he speaks of his leaving off
the drinking of tea as an example to
the poorer M~ethodists, thinking 1t
would prevent great expense of health,
time and money. The first three days
nv head ached more or less, all day
long and / was half asleep from morn
ing to night. The third day, on
Wednesday In the afternoon, my men,
DRY failed almost entirely. In the eve
ming / sought my remedy In prayer.
On Thursday morning my headache
yas gone; my memory was as strong
as ever, and | have found no incon-
v~enience, but a sensible benefit | n sew
eral respects, from that very day to
this"
Yet according to this journal tea
was beneficial in a case cited by Wes-
ley In the preceding May, an "amazing
instance of distress" A sensible young
m who had constantly attended
church, lay sick of a fever. She be
lieved the devil had her soul and body.
s'If she swallowed anything, she cried
out she was swallowing fire and brim-
For over twenty days she took
nothing but water. She had no sleep
day or night, but lay cursing and
disappearing, tearing her clothes, and
whatever she could reach, in pieces.
Wesley prayed with her. in a few
days after, she began to drink a little
tea afterward God turned her
h~eaviness into joy"

SAYS GHOST STORIES INjURE
Tales Often Permanently Harm Chill
dren, Is the Assertion of Phiia-
delphia Educator.

Robert L. Burns, a district superin-
tendent, in a recent address to Phila-
ielphia teachers, told them that "fanci-
full stories" should be eliminated from
the schoolroom, the Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger states. He expressed HIM
self as particularly opposed to stories
IN which ghosts and h~obgoblins are the
principal characters.
"As a result of hearing ghost narra-
lives by the Wholesale" he said, chill
iren develop sever cases of nerves.
which frequently follow them through
life. An unreasonable amount of harm
has been done to children who are sub
lected to imaginative narratives of
things which possibly cannot happen.
They become frightened and are
narassed by useless fears"
He warned the teachers against stir
ring the imagination of their pupils
along morbid lines unnecessarily.

Recipe for Happiness.

The man who made ex-President
william III. Taft simmer, DR.. Charles
e. Barker of Washington, gave the fol-
lowing recipe for happiness in an adj
dress at Chicago: Look on the bright
side of every experience. Accept cheer
fully the place In which you find your
self today. Throw your soul into your
work. Do as many little klndnesses
as possible each day. Maintain a child
like attitude of trust In your God.
The rich. as a class. are the most I'M
happy people on earth because they
think they can buy happiness, like a
commodity on the market. Poor peo-
pie frequently are happy, not because
of their poverty, but because they have
found the laws of happiness. Happi-
ness does not depend upon externals
at all. 1t Is dependent upon laws that
can be learned and obeyed..'
