The Lady Might Like an Apron. There are many dainty designs at little prices.
 Tea Aprons of dotted Swiss or fine Muslin are wonderfully attractive. Dainty and dressy, every woman likes to have a number of them for special occasions. Beginning at 3se, and from that, by easy stages, to $f.eS we have wonderful variety.
 Larger Aprons, too, have their uses. The kinds that busy housewives like.
 Some have bibs-some have not-some are long and some are snort-and every one of them is a good value, from the 59c kind to those which sell for $1.5o. Bungalow Aprons, too, which may be slipped on over the dress or dainty blouse, and protect It perfectly, make pleasing gifts. We have some as low as $f.5o, and from that to S2.5o.

IN MINERS' STRIKE
Strike Order Generally Obey
ed by Union Men; Nom
Union Mines Operate.

Chicago. Ill-A crucial test Of
strength in the great strike OF soft
coal miners which already has made
idle more than 425 600 men, accord
ing to union leaders claims, are await
ed by both operators and miners to
develop this week
Although the strike went into of
feet at midnight Friday night, both
sides TO the controversy, which many
believe to be Americas greatest in
dustrial upheaval, accompanied as it
is, by the strike of steel workers and
other ramifications including many
lesser strikes throughout the nation,
have agreed that on Monday. the first
full wOrkday for miners throughout
the country since the strike cdict went
into force, would prove power or lack
of it on the part of the United Mine
Workers Of America to stop produc-
ton of bituminous coal in the general
sense.
Miners must make the next move in
the soft coal strike, was the opinion
Saturday of government officials,
The strike was a reality Saturday
even though directing heads of the
United Mine Workers Of America were
restrained fr@sa activity by federal
court injunction.
Should reports that any consider
able number of miners desire to CON
tinue work, the government was pre-
pared to furnish them protection.
Should disorders occur, the govern
ment was ready with all the police
powers at its disposal to put them
down.
Upward of 100000 bituminous coal
miners throughout the nation of to-
tai of $4,000 men employed in that
industry Saturday were on strike in
response to the general strike call,
effective at midnight last night, &C
cording to reports, in some instances
estimated, received by union leaders.
