No Cars Running.

San Francisco, Sept. 3.-No street
cars were run on the United Railroads
lines here today, because officials of
the company feared violence by strik-
ers or their sympathizers.

strikebreakers to be armed. The com

Would Restore Monarchy

London, Sept. 3.-The reason for the
German drive against Riga and toward
Petrograd was seen today in the royal
ist plot uncovered in Moscow. The Ger
man plan apparently was to lend all
aid to those who sought restoration Of
the monarchy, while simultaneously
smashing through Russian defenses in
in the hope of reaching Petrograd.
Petrograd dispatches today emphasiz
ed the complete cleanup of all internal
plotters in this scheme to overthrow
the provisional government. Scores,
perhaps hundreds of arrests have been
made, mostly in the provinces and in
Moscow. All details as to the identity

Portland, Or, Sept. 3.--Four thous-
and men engaged in the construction of
steel ships in five Portland yards will
strike at ten clock Friday morning un-
less their demands are granted, the
executive board Of the Metal Trades
Council announced today.
Joseph Reed, chairman of the board.
saids that the shipbuilders would picket
the yards despite an anti-picketing or
dinance recently enacted. "We do not
recognize that such law exists, he
explained.
The stand of the shipbuilders in re-
gard to pickcting said to forecast
trouble.
Immediate action by the government
is said to be the only way open to
avert strike. The shipbuilding COM
Panies say it is not within their power
to grant the wage increase, shorter
hours and better conditions the men de-
mand.
The strike of four thousand builders
of steel ships would probably have soma

Seattle WIN wait.

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 3.-There will
be no official strike of $4,000 Seattle
shipyard workers Wednesday as plan
ned, pending conference in Washing
ton, ID. G. between the United States
shipping board and committee repre-
senting the Metal Trades Council.
This is the announcement of A. +.
Miller, secretary of the council today.
Miller said union officials were doing
all in their power to avert a disorgan-
lied strike and that despite much muir
muring among the unskilled workers in
many of the plants he believes that
the danger of such strike was past.
The committee from the Metal Trades
composed of President Dan McKillop,
James A. Taylor, of the machinists and
G. Sanferson of the Shipwrights and
Joiners, left Sunday morning for the
national capital on the invitation of
the shipping board to meet with that
body at the expense of the government
The telegram of invitation was con-
sidered at two meetings of the strike
committee Saturday and finally, late
Saturday evening, the committee decid-
ed to delay the strike and send the dele
gates to Washington.

Common alfalfa" Is general term
used to include all the alfalfas that
are not clearly Of hybrid origin or do
not have distinct and uniform charac-
teristics. The term, however, includes
q number of different strains which are
often designated by some geographic
or descriptive name. such as Kansas
grown alfalfa, dry-land alfalfa. irri-
gated alfalfa, etc. In this connection
1t may be said that the "dry-land" al
falfa seed offered ON the market has
80 far failed to show any noticeable
superiority in resisting drought over
that grown with an abundance Of
moisture. On the other hand, strains
developed In the South have been
found less hard than those In the
northern states, although they usually
produce larger yields. Turkestan al
fslfa, when subjected to thorough tests.
has been found inferior to American
grown strains.
The Grimm, Baltic, Canadian varie-
gated, and sand lucern are well-kn0wn
commercial strains of variegated al
falfa. With the exception of sand lu-
cern. they have been found more re-
sistant to cold than other commercial
strains, and may be recommended for

sections where winterkilling occurs
frequently.
Peruvian alfalfa. under favorable
conditions. outyields any other COM
mercial strain. For the United States,
however. 1t Is not very generally useful
because 1t is not resistant to severe
cold and can only be grown success
fully where the winter temperature IL
mild, as In the Southern and South
western states.
Arabian alfalfa has q tendency to
be shortlived and cannot, therefore. be
regarded as satisfactory variety.
No matter what variety the farmer
chooses, he should learn to distinguish
good from poor seed. Plump seed Of
an olive green color almost invariably
terminates well, while shriveled or
brown seed generally turns out poorly.
The presence Of any appreciable guam
tity Of weed seeds or other impurities
indicate poor quality.

for the future. but the importers have

JERSEY HAS MADE GREAT PROGRESS

most unlimited range Of gray and
beige predOminates.
Not one Of these colors II especial
ly attractive on the American wom-
an. 1t takes q peculiarly toned bFu-
nette to wear string. mastic. cafe au
lnit. beige and the biscuit tones. and
it takes a peculiarly toned blonde to
wear gray in its several light shades
that have neither blue nor mauve In
them.
However. the French designers have
got around mis- by using collars.
belts. cuffs and facings Of black. dark
blue and white on these gray and
beige jersey costumes.
1t may be due to some inability to
dye this new type Of Jersey that the
sad colors are chosen. or 1t may be
that the manufacturers OF materials
in France prefer to use the gray and
beige In these everyday suits and keep
the gorgeous colors for evening and
afternoon frOcks.
Have Long TunIe Coats.
The majority Of the jersey suits. and
they may be called frocks as well.
have long. tunic coats that reach to
the knees and must be slipped on
over the head through the opening at
the neck. These coats are as shape
less as the costumery of the tenth
century. and they depend entirely upon
the girdle for a silhouette OF any grace
or. distinction.
One of the best of the jersey frocks,
which was instantly snapped up by
the American woman. is q combination
of black and cafe au lait. The top OF
the skirt Is Of the latter color and is

note Of the really smart frock. The
slim bodice clings to the figure like the
first Jerseys which Lily Langtry made
famous. but never do they show such
a silhouette as she presented to the
world. for the days Of tiny waists,
curved hips and slender shoulders have
been eliminated.

Attractive to the Ameri.

The history OF jersey cloth could
not be written in one chapter. Its In
PRODUCTION was not taken seriously. but
it's persistence has caused 1t to be re-
garded with Importance.
1t Is quite useless to attempt to de-
scribe the spring fashions without
starting from jersey, Incorporating 1t
In the middle and ending up with 1t.
1t has ceased tb be Il novelty. 1t has
become standard fabric. 1t Is SO

There Is French quality that cannot

lander to conquerOr. Women have
used the word as well as the weave
lndifferently. and they speak Of 1t
slightly as thing OF the beach. the
country lane and the hard benches
about the field of sport.
Even the high price of the slender
fabric. which Chanel took 1t into her
head to embrolder with gold and sill
yer, did not make women stop to con-
slider that such riotous extravaganza
had purpose behind It.
Jersey coats and skirts were
trimmed with fur, worn during the
summer months and hung In the closet
ut other times. They were bit more
women thought, but the manufactur.
ers' thought ran in another vein. They
saw in jersey cloth sturdy. reliable
fabric that could be standardized and
kept continually on the market like
serge.
Amazing Success Of Jersey Cloth.
At the moment, 1t looks as though
the manufacturers have thought bet
ter than the public. Jersey not only
rivals serge in the spring clothes. but
runs ahead Of 1t. Even the importers
in this country were surprised when
the packers opened the enormous
boxes which came over on the French
steamers from Bordeaux and lifted
gown after gown, suit after suit and
coat after coat of jersey. There was
no silk jersey there; all the apparel
was made of this new and prevailing
weave which has an unfinished, inele-
CANT appearance.
One has a feeling that the exigen.
cies of war have made women gel
hold of all the mems undershirts they
could find, dip them In the dye pot, put
a belt. around them and use them with
