thews got up to go a few minutes
after Ruth came back from across the
hall.
Scott began to urge him to stay, but
he refused. "I'd like to, old man, but
have some work to finish"
Ruth was radiant again. How splen-
did, things were working out all right
after all, now the Whitmores could
come in and everything was splendid.
They stood in the doorway chatting
together for few minutes, when sud
denly the door opposite opened and Rita
and Dan came out. Rita made an effort
to draw back when she saw Ruth, but
it was too late, and Rita, realizing this,
was too perfect an actress to seem con
fused. She was beautifully dressed in
evening clothes. A long blue velvet
cloak with gray fox fur trimmings,
tswathed her roundabout, and her cloudy
black hair was piled high with a blazing
comb of blue jewels thrust carelessly
into its waves. Dan was in evening
dress.
Il It was Dan who spoke, trying to make
his voice seem natural:
Hello, folks, how are you?"
''Fine; going out somewhere? Gee,
Rita, you look great"
Rita laughed that high tinkly laugh
that was 80 melodious and fascinating.
She brushed by Ruth with friendly
little smile and the two passed DOWN
stairs. Ruth's feelings were mixture
Of anger. and hurt pride. She was iuri-
ous at Rita, but she was more furious
at Scott for acting as If nothing had
happened, when he had had a chance
! to show that he understood that they
hadn't wanted to come over, that they
had already planned to break the date
before Ruth had gone across the hall.
She turned to the men slowly and met

on. a. ..
Ruth could hardly wait until she was
inside to impart her fury to Scott.
''She lied to me when I was over
there she burst out. "She said Dan
hadn't come home yet, and he mus:

He might have come In afterward,'
put In Scott.

Adventures With a Purse

ONCE upon u time visited sweet
~ little bride and a cunning little
house. How loved each room, how
] fussed around it, pretending that it
was my very own. And then one day
4 helped her with the dishes and saw
her kitchen knives. ''If ever have a
home of my own,' thought to my
|self, "my knives shall never be spotty
and stained" Heigh- -ho! That was
several years ago, and the bride, now
q comely young matren, has a larger
home and most adorable. chuckling
baby, and the knives, doubt not, still
are spotty. $50 I shall tell her of my
discovery today. In fine off-handed
manner shall say, ooh, by the way,
l discovered the most convenient thing
for cleaning knives. 1t is a specially
prepared cork, on a sort of knob. The
shape is most convenient to handle and
the cork whisks the spots away in a
jiffy'' I shall tell her that one of
these costs but fifteen cents, and maybe
4 she will buy one and maybe she won't.
But I am sure that if you are a care
full and wise housekeeper you will buy
one.

TO a Worried Girl Of Sixteen

Little boy and Girl friendships
do not always grow into girl and
beau footing-in fact most often they
don't. After all you were the merest
children when you played SO much to-
gether. But do think it is very silly
for you not to speak to each other on
account of any quarrel OF such long
standing. Since you called this day
on the telephone and he did not seem
to take advantage of the chance to be
friends again, would simply start
speaking without any formal agree
ment about it. Just. smile and say good
evening in friendly way as you might
to any boy you knew when child, but
are not intimate friends with now.
Don't try to stop and talk or give this
boy the idea that you care for him.
This is the very easiest way not to re-
gain his friendship. Although 1t may
tickle their vanity, boys inwardly scorn
the girl who runs after them.
You were silly to give the picture or,
In fact, to let any girl know you liked
the boy. But it can't be helped now,
SO Just let matters stand as they are
and turn over. a new leaf. Even If he
won't speak keep on speaking until you
make him ashamed of himself. In the
meantime remember you are very young
to be talking about love. Go around
with the boys and make good pals of
them and forget all about love for a
few years. This will win the respect
Of this particular boy.

BRITISH EMPLOYERS
ACCEPTING UN|ON|SM

WASHINGTON, April 12.--If the
movement generally described in a
loose way as "Bolshevism" is to be
offset in the United States, business
men must quickly revise their ideas
regarding the labor question.
This, indirectly, is the meaning
OF report submitted by a commits
sion composed entirely of employ
ers who went to Great Britain to
study industrial conditions under
authorization by the Department of
Labor. Several of the employers
are well-known opponents of or
ganized labor, and trade unionists
will watch with interest their flu
ture attitude toward the Labor
movement in the United States. The
business men on the commission
were: f. T. Gundlach, of the print
ing industry, Chicago; R. j. Cald-
we'll, textile industry, New York;
Dorr f. Felt. machinery industry,
Chicago; w. II. Ingersoll, watch in
dustry, New York; r. r. Otis,
building industry, Atlanta, and Ell
don B. Keith. shoe industry, Brock
ton, Mass. The latter died in Lon
don IF pnaur,o,io
The report states that employers
in Great Britain generally recog
nize the desirability of collective
bargaining, and that there are
many intimations of direct action"
and a complete overturning of the
present social structure. But we
believe" says the report, "the more
extreme demands are limited to a
class that has been thinking and
talking along these lines for years.
THE issue, however, is squarely
drawn on the demand of the work
ing people to have better indus
trial day. They seek not merely
small on-essentials, nor common
place essentials. but a real step for
ward in their condition of life and
labor"
The commission declares that
"the spirit of a genuinely better
new land not novel; era is being
fostered by widely varied elements
of Great Britain's industrial sys-
tenn"

THE TIMBERWORKERS
UNION CLUB HOUSES

Establishment of clubrooms or
clubhouses, real homes for the
lumberjacks and loggers, in the
larger lumber centers of the Pacific
Northwest, is new plan adopted
by the International Union of Tim
berworkers to boost organization
work, according to an announce
ment made by International Secre-
tary John NJ. Norland, of Seattle.
The plan was conceived by r. r.
Canterbury, of Bend, Oregon, In
ternational Vice President of the
Sawmill Workers branch of the
Union, who put it into execution
while Secretary of the Bend local.
Canterbury is a natural born
booster and as a result of his ener-
getic efforts the Bend local recently
purchased the Hippodrome, a big
public amusement hall, paying
about $40, 900 for the building, and
has converted it into lumber
jacks clubhouse.
Now the International Union has
commissioned Canterbury as a spe-
cial organizer for the Northwest
and instructed him to carry out his
ideas in other lumber camps. Can
terbury has gone to Aberdeen to
begin his work and will visit other
lumber centers during the coming
summer to promote the clubhouse
scheme.
Reports received by Secretary
Norland indicate that the organiza-
ton of the lumber mill workers and
loggers in the Grays Harbor Dis
trict is proceeding with notable act
ivity. The local unions of that Dis
trict have put special organizers in
the field and are rapidly enrolling
the workers with 1907 organiza-
ZION before SHOW lileS DIS lllell SOdl'
International President Clair Co.
vert has been in the field there,
also, and is aiding in the move to
establish headquarters with Canter-
bury.
Loggers in Skagit and Whatcom
Counties are coming into the Inter
national fold with commendable
speed, reports to Seattle headquar
ters indicate, and the local unions
are fast getting their work down to
business basis. General Organ
izer Harry Call is working for the
international in Southwestern
Washington and is reported to be
making good Roadway in organic
ing workers who are Disguised with
the Loyal Legion of Loggers and
Lumbermen, into the American
Federation of Labor Unions.
The Disque military" union,

the i. l.. L. L., is also reported to
be losing ground rapidly in the In
land Empire logging camps and
mill towns. The same story comes
to the International headquarters
from Everett.
G. o. Young, OF Tacoma, better
known to thousands of good union
men and women in the Pacific
Northwest AS Dad" Young, one OF
the cleanest cut 1907 American
unionists in this part of the coun-
try, has been commissioned by the
American Federation of Labor, for
which he has been a general or
ganizer for years. to go to the
Eastern pine country of Minnesota
Wisconsin and Michigan, to work
for the eight-hour day for the Tim
berworkers, carrying out request
made by the International Union
when it held it's annual Convention
in Seattle this spring.
The Seattle Convention declared
that nationwide eight-hour day
must be established in the timber
industry to preserve the eight
hours won by the Timberworkers OF
the Pacific Northwest while the
war was on. The sending of Or
ganizer Young into the Eastern
pine field indicates the interest OF
the American Federation of Labor
in the movement and bids fair tc
bring results. The claim is already
being made by the Pacific North
west lumbermen that they cannot
compete" with the ten-hour day
lumber of the districts where the
eight-hour day has not been estab.
lished.
