Lloyd George Gives NUM-
tions Makers Till Monday
to Resume Labor
Summons to Army
For All Who Refuse
Many Coventry Plants Em.
ployes Hasten Back to
Escape Service

LONDON, July 25.-Premier Lloyd
George tonight announced in behalf OF
the government that all men who arc
wilfully absent from work on or after
Monday next will be deemed to have
voluntarily placed themselves outside
the munitions industries.
Protection certificates will cease to
have effect and the men will become
liable to the provisions of the military
service act, the Premier added
The statement pointed out that GER
tain workers had quit their jobs in dis
regard of their leaders and remained
idle against the advice of the union
advisory committee.
"They have ceased work." the state
ment said, mot in pursuance Of trade
dispute, but in an endeavor to force the
government to change a national policy
essential to the prosecution of the war.
Many Back at Work
while millions of their fellow coun-
trymen hourly are facing danger and
death for their country, the men on
strike have been granted exemptions
from these perils only because their
services are considered Of more value
to the state in the workshops than in
the army"
The appeal Of the trades union ad-
visory committee, urging the munitions
strikers to return to work pending an
inquiry. had a good effect, according to
news received from Birmingham and
Coventry this afternoon. At Coventry
one of the largest works was enabled
to resume operations, while in Bir-
mingham the action of several unions,
including the employees of TIE big power
companies which supply the big mu-
ntions factories, in refusing to strike
had good result, and it was reported
this afternoon that there were fewer
men on strike than yesterday.
Influenced by Soldiers
Another influence against the strike
was that welded by discharged SOL
ders and sailors, whose fede ration
pledged their loyalty to Winston
Spencer Churchill. Minister of NUM-
tionS.
A statement issued to-day by the
strikers representing that 100000 men
are out appears to be greatly exagger-
ated. 1t was said to-day by officials
of the companies that not more than
10000 to $4,000 were idle, and that the
women and unskilled workers were
strongly opposed to the strike
The decision Of the conference of
members Of the engineering and allied
trades at Leeds yesterday, when it was
voted to cease work next Tuesday if
the embargo on skilled workers was
not removed, was carried by q very
narrow majority after heated discus
sion.
Government Is Defed
The action of the conference. at
which delegates representing 100000
workers were present. amounts to de-
tiance of the governments announce
ment that it will revoke the certificates
of workers which exempt them from
military duty.
The "embargo7 which the munitions
strikers demand shall be removed "re-
stricts the engagement of additional
labor at firms already having as large
a proportion as their muniton work
warrants, having regard to the present
labor shortage"
The main idea of the authorities in
imposing the embargo is to maintain
the supply of munitions for the troops
and to insure the proper distribution
Of labor.

Our Other Selves.

The old Hebrew sage declared,
Wisdom cometh from the opportunity
of leisure" Ii does not meal that a
wise man must belong to what we call
the leisure classes. II e that II
one has only a little free time at his
disposal, he must use that time for he
refreshment of his hidden selves, says
S. NJ. Crothers in the Atlantic. If he
cannot have a sabbath rest of twenty
four hours, he must learn to sanctify
little sabbaths. II may be of ten min
utes' length. In them he shall do N
manner of work. 1t is not enough that
the self that works and receives wages
shall be recognized and protected the
world must be made safe for our other
selves. Does not the Declaration of
Independence say that every man has
an inalienable right to the pursuit OF
happinesss

APanIe Proof" vlss With Fire Proof.

According to a decision recently
made by Supreme Court Justice Gave
gan of New York the state industrial
commission may direct owners OF
buildings to make them "panic proof"
even If they were previously ~fireproof.
The court said: 'The reasonableness
of the commissions orders depends d.
rectly on the question, is the building
safe from the danger of panicT Panic
may result from causes not confined
to a factory building itself nor af-
fected by it's ireproof character. 1t
may be caused by smoke alone, or by
fire In a building adjoining or in the
immediate neighborhood, or by a con-
~fiagration, or by a hostile attack in
time of war from land, sea or air, or
by earthquake. or even by a false

PERGOLA NOW WIDELY USED
Adds to Beauty of Garden II II ia
Properly Constructed and Efec-
lively Placed.

Comparatively few gardens are now
complete without a pergola of some
kind, though twenty years ago they
were almost unknown In America.
They are, however, so useful In giving
variety to the garden, and have so
much decorative value, that they are
widely used.
Pergolas need careful construction,
and an effort should be made, before
building one, 70 choose a suitable POI
sition for 1t, since, If a pergola is set
down with no apparent raison d'etre,
1t becomes q burden rather than a help
In the garden scheme. 1t should lead
to some defined object-to a summer
house, or a gate, or perhaps to terrace
steps If 1t begins and ends for no ap-
parent reason, it Is certainly misplaced,
In the gardens Of La Mortola neal
B~ordighera, the pergola leads out to
a wide terrace with a stone balustrade,
while beyond lies the wonderful blue of
the Mediterranean and the gray rocks
of the italian coast: and this view
gains a double value from being framed
as 1t were, In a tunnel of greenery.

Capturing Gorillas.

1t is said hat no gorilla has ever
been captured alive after he is full
grown. Gorillas fear nothing. Even
when MORALLY wounded they show an
agility, strength and ferOcity which Is
astonishing. A traveller stated that 1t
would take $50 men to hold down a
gorilla with any degree of safety. On
the other hand, all other apes are easy
to capture. The usual method is for
a trapper to seat himself where he Is
certain to be observed by these crea-
lures and pretend to drink from a bot
Gle of crude spirits. When he is sure
that he has been observed, he leaves
the bottle and goes away. The mo-
ment his back is turned the monkeys
rush to appease their curiosity con-
corning the contents of the bottle.
They like the taste of the spirits and
quarrel among themselves for 1t till
the bottle has been emptied. They are
soon overcome by the intoxicant, and
the trapper returns and gathers them
up.

CONGRESS- TAKES
NOTICE

One great result of the Garfield
"gaffe," as the French would term it,
is a strengthened purpose in congress
to put an end to the practice of dump
ing unreasoned and unreasonable
powers into the hands of the Presi-
dent and then leaving him to carry
them u through incompetent sub
ordinates over whom the representa-
tives of the people can have no over
sight. Not only this, but Congress
cannot even have knowledge of what
these incompetent subordinates are
planning to do-the Garfield case be-
ing very much in point.
1t is now admitted by many that if
there had been a committee in Con-
gress-such as the proposed joint
committee on the conduct of the war
for which the Senate once voted
there would have been opportunity to
know what Garfield had in mind, to
discuss it, to obtain information as to
it's probable effect upon the industries
of the country and upon our war eff
cheney, and to put it into effect. if at
all, under conditions which would not
disrupt the commercial fabric of the
land.
1t has been said that it will require
a great casualty list to awaken the
country to the war. Garfield has said
that the nation needed a shock to
make it realize the a Congress
and the country have now had such
a shock; and the time to begin apply
ing the remedy is right now and
through the taking oyer by Congress
of a proper share of its response
bility.

GAMES OF SlAMESE KlDDlES
Girls Play Keeping House, With Dried
Clay DolIies-Boys Jump Rope
and Roll Marbles.

When the Siamese folks get up In
the morning they do not go to the
washstand to wash their faces, for the
simple reason that Siamese houses can
boast no such article of furniture, says
an exchange.
So our little Siamese friend just
runs down to the foot of the ladder
for the house Is built on posts-to a
large Jar of water with a coconut
shell dipper. There she washes her
face by throwing the water over her
hands and rubbing them over her face.
She needs no towel, for the water Is
left to dry. She does not brush her
teeth, for they are stained black by
chewing the betel nut. Her hair does
not require combing, either, for 1t Is
all shaved except a little tuft on the
top of the head, and that is tied In a
little knot and not very often combed.
After breakfast is over, the children
go off and find some pleasant place In
which to play. The girls play at keep
ing house and make dishes Of clay
dried in the sun. Little images of clay
washed with lime are their only dolls.
The boys of Siam are very fond of
pitching coins, and spend much of their
time in this game. They play leap
frog and very often jump the rope.
Now that so many foreigners are In
Siam, they have learned to play mar
bles, too.

die their little boats almost as soon as
they learn to swim, which they do
when they are only four or five years
old.

RAISE IN
PENSION RATES

1t is safe to say hat there will be
at this session of Congress a general
raise of pension rates for veterans of
the civil war, if the Republicans of
the House are able to influence legis-
lation according to their wishes. On
several occasions the question of a
general increase in pensions has been
discussed by the members and sew
eral bills of Republican authorship
have been introduced. Many have
gone so far as to say they would vote
for a fat rate of $50 per month for
every civil war soldier, regardless of
practically all veterans of that war
are now over 20 years of age, and are
unable to perform a sufficient amount
of manual labor to support them
selves. They are all helpless and
they are all worthy.
Another Consideration that will
bring a general increase in the near
future is the fact that widows pen
sions have been raised to $25 per
month. 1t does not admit of argu-
ment. a the Republicans, that a
man who has himself and wife to sup
port should receive more pension than
his widow will get after his death.
Nevertheless there are today on the
pension rolls of the government more
than 100000 veterans of the civil wal
drawing pensions of less than S25.
Republicans generally are very out
spoken in their determination to cor
rect the anomaly and will not allow
the matter to rest until justice has
been done the old soldiers.

PUDDLES, A CAT FISHERMAN
EmuIated Skill Of His Master, and En-
Joyed Diving in and Fetching
Out the Dogfish.

The English naturalist, Francis
auckland, once told a story of a fish
erman of Portsmouth, England, whose
cat, Puddles. emulated in his peculiar
way the fishing skill Of his master.
Quoting the fisherman, Mr.. auckland
said:
He was the wonderfullest water
cat as ever come out of Portsmouth
harbor, was Puddles. He used to go
out a-ishin' with me every night. Cold
nights he would sit in my lap while 1
was a-fshin' and poke his head out
every now and then, or else l would
wrap him up In the sail and make him
lie quiet. He'd lay down on me when
| was asleep, and if anyone come he'd
swear a good one, and have the face
off 'em If they went to touch me. And
he'd never touch a fish, not even a lit
tie teeny pout. IL l didn't give 1t to
nim. I was obligated to take him out
a-fishin', or else he'd stand and yowl
and MARI till l went back and catched
him by the poll and SHE'D him into the
boat, and then he was quite happy.
When 1t was fine he used to stick
ID at the bow of the boat and sit a
watchin' the dogfish. They used to
come alongside by the thousands at a
time, and when they was thick all
about he'd dive in and fetch 'em out,
jammed in his mouth, just as If they
was a parcel Of rats. He looked tiers
rible wild about the head when he
come up out of the water with the fish
in his teeth.
/ larnt him the water myself. One
day, when he was a kitten, / took him
down to the sea to wash him and
brush the f1eas out of him, and in a
week he could swim after a feather
or a cork.-Youth's Companion.

NEED or Definite PROGRAM
To Strike at the Essential Rather
Than the Incidental Is Object of
Best Commercial Bodies.

To strike at the essential rather
than the incidental, to get an organic
and follow 1t unwaveringly
that is the object of the directors
and executives of well-organized COM
mercial associations today.
There was a time when citizens of
many communities had a mixture of
right and wrong impressions about the
function of such organizations. They
were right in their recognition of the
need for a central directing force, but
wrong in their assumption that such a
force could be made 100 per cent eff
cient without intelligent, broad-mind-
ed management and a definite, con-
crete program, declares the Indian
apolis Star.
So commercial organizations have
gone through an evolution. The ten
dency today is to make them indis-
pensable business institutions-just as
necessary to well-rounded city life as
a public utility or any food or cloth
ing distributor. The tendency is to
make such organizations refiexes of all
other business activity guardian of
commercial, social and civic interests.
Citizens in their collective capacity
speak and act effectively through such
an organization.
Large chambers of commerce in
many American cities have achieved
notable results for their localities by
adopting a definite program and stick
ing to ii.
Every community has its own prob
lens, but there are certain lines OF
work that have been found productive
very generally in all American cities"
said Ernest n. Smith, general secre-
tary of the indianapolis chamber of
commerce.
1.-THE purpose of the well-conducted
modern chamber of m is to
establish departments of activity and
undertake programs of civic change
that will operate definitely at every
point TO make the city larger or bet
