From Center Of Ball.
There is best way of winding wool
for knitting and that is the way that
causes the wool to unwind from the
center. To do this roll a piece Of
stiff paper two and half inches long
by two inches wide into tube. Meas.
ure off about eight inches of wool at
the end and begin winding the rest
about the tube. When enough has
been wound to hold the tube securely
tuck the eight.inch loose end complete
ly into one end of the tube. Do not
cover this end in further winding, but
the other end may be covered. 1t Is
best to wind six or eight times i'm one
direction before turning to wind in
another direction. When the skcin Is
completely wound tuck the last end
well into the ball. Pull out the tube,
bringing with 1t the long loose end for
knitting. If many balls are wound ut
once or If ball Is not to be used i'm
medately 1t Is II good idea to allow
the tube to remain in the ball till
ready for use.

STRIKES.

Laborers' in all lines of work are
making more money than they ever
dreamed of making, but many Of them
seem to think that because the Gov
eminent has to have certain work done
and needs men to do it, there is NO
limit to what they can get if they
only demand it strong enough and
tie up the work until they get it A
Norfolk dispatch states that fully five
thousand men, principally union car
penters, quit Government work at
the various Government bases and
the navy yard Monday. The strike
resulted from demand of carpenters
and joiners for 81 1-2 cents an hour
Tor an 8-hour day, instead of the
present rate of SO cents an hour for a
9-hour day.
The Government has shown a dis
position to meet every reasonable de-
mand for pay and hours, and the men
are bound to know that by striking
and hlndering Government work thew
are aiding the enemy, yet every few
days one reads of strikes. 1t has been
announced that draft boards in Nor
folk and Portsmouth would Immediate
~ review all classifications and place
IN class l all strikers who have been
gwen deferred classification. The
Government drafts men for the army
and fixes their pay. If a man re-
fuses to respond to the call he is dealt
with as deserter. 1t would seem
that deserters from Government work
that is as important as the fighting
the drafted men are called to dc
should be treated also as deserters.
II strikers continue to aid the ener1y
6y tlelng up shipbuilding and other
government work it will have to ccme
to that.
Since the above was written the
Norfolk strikers have agreed to re-
turn to work but have given notice
that their demands must be c,nsid-
cred In two weeks or they will ,1uit
again. WV

When Busy Little knitter Ap-

Two girls travelling on a train
through Hoosierdom could have learn
ed lesson from plain little Indiana
school teacher, had they been wise
enough to do so. They were going on
a pleasure trip and determined to have
pleasure all the way. On the train
they munched candy, read magazines,
played rhum and tried in every way
they could to attract the attention OF
two uniformed young men near them
but all in vain.
The little school teacher, who was
on her way to attend county inst-
tute, got on the train at little country
town. Shyly she entered the car, quiet
ly she took seat across from the two
girls, who were rather noisy in their
efforts to gain notice, and Immediately
after she was settled she began to I'm

Industriously she worked-so intent
on her work that she noticed no one.
But the people noticed her and ap-
preciated her zeal and the quality Of
her patriotism. They smiled whenever
they passed her seat and profered her
the loan of their papers and books.
And before many miles had been trav-
eled one Of the khaki-clad youths was
beside her and the other one opposite.
The sweater had been examined, the

RISK LIVES TO CATCH FISH
Indian Boys Get Rich Harvest From
Breaking Waves OF the Coast
Of Washington.

Even the lads Of nine and twelve
years at the old Indian settlement OF
La Push, nesting behind the pinnacle
rocks that rise out Of the Pacific ocean
off the mouth Of the Quillayute river
in Washington. are doing their share
toward winning the war. The lads,
half dressed, dash across the beach
to meet the incoming tide, wade into
the water and wait for the waves to
break with fish. As the combers break
the lads dash into the boiling surf
and rake the ocean for fish. Ere
quently the waves dash over the boys
heads, but they never lose their foot
ing and the danger Of the work does
not excite more than passing attention
from the old women weaving baskets.
During the day the Indians at La
Push village average fully ton OF
fish caught with dip nets. The older
men help with the curing when their
days work is done, but 1t Is the boys
task to capture the fish.
With each tide thousands Of smell
are driven inshore. Each lift Of the
dip nets from the surf generally
brings a basketful Of fish.
Three Of Quillayutes are now In
the military service. There are now
$50 men, women and children In the
little settlement, but each Is doing
his or her share with fishing, wal
gardens and other activities to helT
win the war.

that our merchant marine will soon

York, just 100 years ago, Of the first

vannah, vessel Of $50 tons. The
crank who thought 1t was possible for
a ship to cross the Atlantic by steam
power was William Scarborough Of Sa-
vannah. The Savannah left New
York for the home city Of her builder
on April 10, 1919, and little more
than a month later cleared for Liver
pool, where she was given rousing
welcome, as the first steam vessel to
cross the ocean. The trip was made
in four days less than month. From
Liverpool the Savannah proceeded to
ST. Petersburg, and in December. 1919,
she was again in her home port.-New

napIess CrarIbers Encounter,

The sun was slowly sinking in the
usual place. Claribel Skippenhop, over
whose youthful head scarce thirty-sev-
en- summers had lightly flown, sat in
regulation-size hammock, idly swinging
her foot to the tune Of keep the
Home Liars Squirming," played on a
Hottentot bagpipe AZ miles away.
Suddenly a thought seized her. She
tried to scream and break its hold. She
succeeded in both. Probably one and
fifteen eight-millionths of a cubic
second was allowed to elapse between
her scream and the time the thought
was covering at her feet.
"Avaunt," she cried. "Don't you
know this Is my thoughtless dayf Now,
doggone 1t, I'll have a headache"
Then she went back to swing her
foot and the hammock.

Americas when Columbus made his
discoveries, there are thousands Of In
dams, who are the fear Of other men
and who constantly refuse to make
friends with any other peoples.
In the land bordering on the upper
Orinoco river live many Of these tribes,
the fearless foe Of all strangers and the
most dangerous savages in all South
America. They resist with their lives
all attempts Of the Venezuelans to
take the lands that have been the home
