Housewife S Apron and Cap

Housework is made worthwhile by
this neat apron of striped percale.
1t is accompanied by cap Of the
same material. Plain gingham is used
to trim the design. The turn down
collar finishes neck cut in round out
line, while the short sleeves are cut
in one with the body. A straight belt
holds in the fulness of the waist line.
In medium size the design requires
So yards of 36inch material, with
q yard of gingham in plain color. Be-
fore cutting the apron, take two
widths of the gingham and place
them on the sewing table, right sides
facing, in open width. Place the apron
into position first, as shown in the cut
ting guide, then above it lay the
brim of the hat, toward the left, and
the belt, each on a lengthwise thread
of the material. The pocket piecing
for the back is to the right Of it.
The remaining gingham is now fold
ed in half and the back of the apron
placed on the lengthwise fold, thus
avoiding seam: The material
should be folded in quarters to cut
the crown of the hat and the collar,
following the arrangement on the cut
ting guide.
If made without cap and collar and
cuffs, the apron requires only 4B
yard of 36-inch gingham.

GERMANS BACK OF PLOT
TO BLOCK LAKE SHIPPING
Secret Investigation by Government
Agents Discloses Existence
Of Conspiracy.
CAUSE OF RECENT ACCIDENTS
Object Is to Delay Organization Of
American War Armies and Check
Flow OF Food and Munitions Ma.
terial From West to East.

WASHINGTON. July o-Secret In
vestigation by government agents has
disclosed the existence OF conspiracy
to destroy or hinder shipping on the
Great Lakes, and thereby delay the
organization of American war armies
and check the flow of food and muni-
tion material from the West to the
East.
No conspirators have been captured,
and the identity of none has been made
public, but State, Navy and Justice De-
partments are cooperating to bring
the offenders, to punishment. The Ca
madam government probably will be
called upon to help.
This plot, engineered by German ns.
assisted by sympathizing American cit
izens. is believed to have been respon-
sible for the succession of accidents to
Lake shipping. especially in the neigh
borhoo dof the Sault Ste. Marie Canal,
which began about a month ago. The
steamers SaXonia and Pentacost Mitchell
were sunk at the mouth Of the 500
River. with the evident intention of
blocking the channel. The steamer
Venetian Maid was sunk in the Detroit
River. with the loss of one life. and
later an attempt to dynamite the
steamer Mackinac was made. The
Kasaga ii. was blown up and burned.
and the Jay Dee III. and the Niagara
had their machinery wrecked.
All of these vessels had been or were
about to be taken over by the Navy
Department. and Investigations have
tended to the conclusion that what
were believed to have been accidents
were the acts of conspirators

Within half-hour many more than

limit each Senator's time upon the bill

friends had been delaying action SEN
ator Jones. of Washington vehemently
denied the charge. and assorted that
the delay has been caused by prohibi-
ton opponents.
The dispute over prohibition was
opened anew by the action of the Agri-

an amendment by Senator Gore, pro-
posing that manufacture of distilled
spirits shall be Prohibited and the
President given power to suspend the
