Electricians Before the Bonrd.

The striking electrical workers de-
sire to lay their case before the war
labor board and are willing to abide
by their decision If the contractors
are willing to do likewise, 1t was said
yesterday.
The union men claim that the cleo
tricai contractors were going to cut
their pay and they tried to advert
this cut by asking for an increase.
The United States department OF
labor interested themselves to the
extent of sending a concilator here
TO bring about a settlement
The union men say that they do
not wish to cause the public any in
convenience. but that they are en-
titled to living wage and to stand a
cut is something that they would not
tolerate under any circumstances.
The men say the company organ
lied by the strikers are doing The
work on the same old basis and have
a good number of their members en-
ployed by this firm and some have
left the city for suitable employment
at higher rate than is being paid in
this city.

West Prussians Use Hand Grenades in
Attack on Profiteers.

Coblenz, Aug. 25.-Hand grenades
left over from the war were used eff
fectively recently by enraged civilians
in Zoppot in West Prussia who at
tackled food stores on the ground that
the shopkeepers were profiteering. Ac-
cording to information reaching Amer
lean army headquarters a mob. armed
with grenades, revolvers and other
weapons. attacked in numbers the
stores which were known to have
charged high prices.
In the interior Of Germany marga-
rine has been quoted recently at
marks per pound whereas it formerly
cost $50 marks per pound. This is at
tributed to the fact that large guam
titles have lately been bought abroad
at higher prices than formerly owing
to the low rate of German exchange
The official rate of exchange for Aug
ust at army headquarters is 2 marks
% pfennigs for 1 franc, giving the
mark value in American money of a
fraction more than cents.

sive, as in these the pattern and bor-
der designs are continuous, instead
of being broken by cutting-as in the
case of linen bought by the yard. In
general, cloths with small designs
and in the ordinary finish wear bet
ter than those with large designs or
with the fancy satin figures and stripes
preferred by some housewives.
For ordinary use. table cloths OF
plain linen, with only n simple CEN
ter design, or those with a good all
over pattern, are very serviceable
as well as tasteful.
Many housekoepers whose dining
tables are round, use round table
cloths. But it is better to use a
cloth with a circular design in the
center than to use round cloth for
the reason that after a few launderings
a round cloth Is apt ito stretch out Of
shape and lose its original spherical
perfection.
Napkins should match the table,
cloth. These come from II to 81
inches in size, the size chosen de-
pending upon the use for which they
are intended.
The clever woman seldom buys DOLL
les. for she contrives to make them
out of worn-out luncheon cloths bu-
reau scarfs. and other pieces of fine
linen which have become too old for
their oroginal use and yet which have
parts that are still good. These she
either hemstitches or finishes with an
embroidered scalloped edge.
Lucky indeed is the wife of an archi-
tect's draughtsman, who can procure
the discarded blue linen architectural
plans which when boiled. lose their
color and lines and make beautiful
white linen table doilies. Old window
shades of good texture can often be
used. also,-in fact the clever house
keeper makes her doilies from ma
terials which, to the administrative,
look most unpromislng.
