SETTLE nc. BAKERS STRIKE
Operators of dig Plants Grant 10 Per
Cent. Increase In Wages to
Their Wcrkmen.

A bread famine which seriously
threatened Kansas City was -averted
recently when nearly 200 union bakers,
who had walked out the night before,
reached an agreement with their en-
ployers and returned to work. The
main point at issue was 81 week
wage increase asked by the bakers.
After conferences lasting most of the
day, the employers granted the raise,
effecting compromises on several
other demands.
When the agreement was signed,
about o'clock, word was Immediately
sent to- all the bakers to resume work
and the city's bread production, which
had been virtually at standstill since
midnight was again put in motion.
Every large bakery in the city, with
the exception of the Campbell Baking
Company, was forced to shut down
because of the strike. 1t is estimated
that the city's bread supply was cut
to about one-fourth Of the normal
amount during the day, but the short
duration of the strike prevented any
hardships being forced upon hotels,
restaurants and other consumers. The
bakers finished their nights output
before walking out, so the deliveries
went out as usual.
However the bakeries may find
some difficulty in furnishing enough
bread to meet the demand. If the
strike had lasted another day or two,
it is believed that almost the entire
city would have found it necessary
to fall back upon cornbread. Restau-
rant keepers were prepared to sub
stitute cornbread when word of the
settlement reached them
Whether the wage increase will
mean an advance in the price of bread
the employers said they did not know,
although they admitted such step
may be necessary. b. Howard Smith,
spokesman for the Master Bakers AS
sociation, the employers, said that
loaves may be raised to Is cents each,
but that they will not hike the price
unless it is absolutely essential.

Striped Cottons Adopted by
Women Who Set Fashions
in America.
BOON TO HOME DREssMAKER
With inexpensive Materials. Made
Available Any Woman Can Have
Varied Wardrobe for Sum-
rner Months.

New York.-It has been decades
since bingham was worn. There were
times when every woman abused the
material by trimming 1t with satin and
lace, and turning 1t into a frock of
ceremony. 1t was considered appropri-
ate for the afternoon hours. Iteranked
with satin, voile, handkerchief linen.
Today Bingham has been revived by
the smart women who launch the
spring styles at Palm Beach. Young
women found in 1t an agreeable
change from the ubiquitous jersey
cloth and serge. Someone in Paris
had brought striped musllns into high
fashion. and those in this country
who remembered the gayety of ging-
hams In the old days, and realized
that here, In this country, were to be
found all sorts of alluring cottons,
took 1t into their clever heads to re-
instate them.
Palm Beach really set the seal of
approval on the so-called humble
fabric and 1t is probable that we shall
see much of 1t as the season advances.
Why not? In every way Bingham
carries out the modern demand In
clothes. Its coloring is happily chosen,
its stripes and checks, its plaid de-
signs are accepted in all other fabrics.
The lessening of the output Of novelty
fabrics the ability of the mills to turn
out admirable cotton weaves, the mark
that fashion has put upon simple mate
rails as evidences of good taste in
time of national stress, the comfort of
cotton in hot weather, are fashion
facts that build strong foundation
for gingham.
The Incoming Of cottons.
On this foundation also rests the
claim that other fabrics of the common
garden variety are making for service
this summer. The Southern mills have
always produced quantities of mex
pensive materials in alluring colors,
materials that are woven to stand the
heat and sun and which have served
the Southern women for generations.
These have their showing in the towns
of other districts, hut they are not rs
commonly accepted or as well-known
as they should be.
These fabrics are not always treated
in an inexpensive way by those who
buy their clothes at expensive places.

Need Grain for Food.

Greene county farmers in conven.

Also, the summer Is the season of

woman can do with few clothes In
cold weather. We all have a touch Of

warm weather brings riotous desire
to have clothes heaped upon the closet
shelves, separate garments, blouses,
frocks, skirts, at any price, so they
be fresh, clean and plentiful.
In n season of satin, chiffon and
Jersey 1t was not possible for any but
the rich to be freshly and variously ar

with the incoming of cottons, striped,
