Indications Given That Walk
out Will Not Take Place
as Scheduled.
PRESIDENT WILSON ACTS

That general response to the nation
wide strike call of the Commercial Teleg-
raphers' Union predicted by labor lead
ers will not materialize was indicated
last night.
Several thousand commercial operators
employed by the Western Union Tele-
graph Company in Chicago, Seattle and
Spokane wired President Wilson late
yesterday that they would not be parties
to any movement looking to a disrup-
ton of the country's commercial tele-
graph service during the war. They
deplored agitation looking to a strike OF
the operators and pledged their loyalty
to the government, Commercial oper-
ators in other large cities. It was said,
are expected to take the same action.
Not Represented by Strike Leaders.
Some 5000 telegraphers in Chicago
told the President that they were not
represented by any labor leaders who
had threatened to call a strike, and
that they resented the inference that
they were SO represented and might be
80 base and disloyal' as to support
strike.
The war labor board announced last
night that final decisions in the cases
of the Bethlehem Steel Company
workers and Postal Telegraph Com
pany employees will be given by the
board at Chicago Wednesday. The
steel workers explained that they had
been denied the right to organize and
bargain collectively with their en-
ployers. while the Postal Company
employees complained that the COM
pany discharged them because Of their
membership in the Commercial Teleg-
raphers' Union.

DISTRICT TO START
WATER ECONOMIES
Commissioners Will decide
This Week on Most Effec-
tive Method.
BIG SCALE CONSERVATION

The District Commissioners this
week will try to find a way to effect
r-rcachirg water economies in Wash
ingtcn.
The situation as to water consnmp-
ton admittedly has reached the point
where unless something is done to
check wastes the Capital may find
itself in an uncomfortable position
before the end Of summer.
Saving Without Hardship.
In an appeal to citizens. the Com
missioners call on each individual to
save as much water daily as possible
"a gallon or more when possible. A
saving of half million gallons a day
by individual users could be effected
easily and without working hardships
of any kind, it is believed.
The Commissioners, however. are
more concerned about the waste of
water by the government depart
ments, hotels. manufacturing con-
Germs and other big users. Effort will
T be made to devise restrictions which
will conserve water on a big scale.
= Conservation is said to offer the
OILY immediate relief in sight. Water
is being used in Washington at the
rate Of about 65,000,000 gallons day.
which, according to Army engineers,
is the safe dependable capacity OF the

day from the West Indies with fifty.
nine passengers, more than half OF
whom were women and children.
With the first inkling that U-boats
were at work, the captain took dras-
tic steps to protect his ship and the
lives of his passengers. Taking a zig
gag course, he ordered the engineers
to get up every pound of steam pos.
sible, and then ran far off the route
usually followed by steamers engag-
ed in the West Indian trade. Life
boats were prepared for instant low
ering. and passengers warned that II
they appeared on deck they would be
thrown into irons.

for the last seventy-two hours, keep

QUEBEC CATHERAL.

One of the most famous Catholic edidces in North America is the Cathedral at Quebec, where mass was first celebrated 268 years ago todayn on Christmas Eve, 1850. Since then the church has been practically re- built. although the foundations and part of the walls are still in exist ence. Since that Christmas eve of 1850 the doors of the cathedral have never been closed, with the exception of brief period in 1759, when the building was partly wrecked by bombs and flames. The work of rearing the celebrated religious edi- ice vas commenced in 1645, the VI, hy people of Quebec having coatr.1uted for that purpose 1,250 beaver skins, which were sold to start the building fund. The corner stone was laid by Governor Mont many dnd Father Laleport, the Su- perior If the Jesuits, and a brother of the famous missionary who was killed by the Indians. A part of the building was completed in time for the Christmas Eve mass of 1850, but it was not until nearly seven years later that the edifce was formally opened. The cathedral Is one of the
 finest architeotually, in North America, and can accommodate 1000 people.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Sheets of brown paper pasted together at the edges and laid over blanket on the bed will give the warmth of two or more blankets, and the article with care will last a con siderable time.
 Many persons may not know that the scent and flavor of lemon peel reside in minute cells, close to the surface of the fruit and that by slic ing it thin they will cut through these innumerable cells and thus ob tain double the quantity of the ~es- sential oil that could be procured by anyone careless of this fact. The cells being cut through, it follows that a great part Of the oil remains on the white Of the lemon. This is easily abstracted by rubbing a lump of sugar over it.
 When sheets become worn in the centre, rip the centre seam and sew the former outer edges together Iii this way he worn parts are on the outside and can be tucked under the mattress.
 A cheap and easy way 10 make a bedspread. Buy a pair of rufIcd CT hemstitched muslin curtains and sew a strip of wide insertion on the se:- wage of one curtain, and then join this to the selvage of the socCld cur tain, bringing the insertion in the centre of the spread. Cut out the lower corners about 12 inches each way and hem around. Make a lining of. cambric of the desired color and fasten to the muslin.

International Marriages.

The first international marriage of an American heiress to an European to attract general attention was that of Elizabeth Patterson and Jerome Bonaparte, performed in Baltimore 115 years ago today, Dec. 24, 13oS- The bride was the daughter of Will liam Patterson, a wealthy mercha mt of the Maryland metropolis. She was about IS years old when Jerome Bonaparte, brother of Napoleon, came to America in command of a French frigate. When he visited Baltimore he met Miss Patterson and immediately fell in love with her, and soon proposed. After the we'd ding the couple travelled for a year all over America, and in 1893 em- parked for Europe. Napoleon was dissatisfied with the marriage, and refused to permit Mime. Bonaparte to land in France. She found a refuge in England, where she gave birth to a son, the founder of the famous American Bonaparte family. Jerome was induced by Bonaparte to aban- don his wife, and marry a princess, and they never met again, except in a casual way many years after their separation.
