WOMEN CARRY PIGS
AS AID TO CHARITY
Animals Are Of Bronze, However
and Used as Penny Banks.

Fifty prominent Washington church
women sat in the basement of st,
PauTs Lutheran English Church,
Eleventh and II streets northwest, for
two hours yesterday afternoon hold
ing pigs in their laps.
But they were not live pigs. They
were tiny bronze animals that chill
, dren in fifteen Washington Sunday
schools had used as receptacles for
their pennies during the last six
months, to help pay the $1,000 debt on
heSBertha G.. johnson memorial cot
taEe for leper women being main
tanned in China by the Woman's Inter
denominational Missionary Union.
At a word from Mrs. John Newton
Culbertson. the presiding officer, the
women deposited their burdens at
the rostrum, where the pigs were
opened and their contents dumped on
the table.
The total amount raised to date for
the leper cottage in China is more than
five hundred dollars. II was announced.
The whole amount taken from the pig
banks since April l has been upwards Of
500. Some of the banks had to be
opened because they were too full TO
hold more. The contents were then do
mated as coming wholly from the Sum-
day school or individuals responsible for
the collection.
The American committee on mis-
sion to lepers is composed of William
J. Scheffelin, of New York, chairman;
W. NJ. Danner. Cambridge, secretary,
and Fleming II. Revell, New York,
treasurer. Local officers of the mis-
sion fund are members Of the wo-
all the churches"
Free-will offerings for the relief q
lepers who are being cared for in the
Johnson memorial home may be sent
to Mrs. Washington Topham, 43 u
street northwest.
Ths~pigs will be brought to church
again next November.

EIGHTEEN-CENT MILK
PREDICTED FOR CITY
Present Retail Prices Expected to
Prevail During Summer.

Milk probably will remain at the
present retail prices for the summer
months, several local dealers said to-
day. A prediction of milk at Is or
IS cents a quart next fall and winter
was maue by several dealers.
One dealer, A. w. Simpson. after
raising his prices for milk to IL cents
quart. announced that he would re-
turn 10 the former price of 10 cents.
This was necessitated, he said, be-
cause other dealers refused to ad-
vance their prices. Mr.. Simpson re-
turned to the old price.

WOODEN SHIP
 YARDS CLOSING
By Associated Press.


 SEATTLE, Aug 2-Althoush the ear strike has been amicably settled, the labor strike situation is stll very serious and steadily growing worse owing to various labor troubles the wooden shipbulding yards at Vari- ous points are closing down and there are prospects of q complete ticup m jority of cases the shutting down of the yards is due to the refusal of the employees to work with non union laborers. many of whom are employed in various branches of the industry.
 A new development in the unsettled labor situation is the threatened strike of carpenters engaged in the consttuc- tion of the great military cantonmcnts near Tacoma.
 Reports reaching here say that the carpenters have announced their Op- position to the employment Of non union labOrers in the construction of the army training camp and will strike unless the government em- ploys union men. In the case of the cantonments government inter vcntion is possible if the carpenters put their threat into effect.
