that before entering the house Of
some young lady. / know a certain
young lass who made the former re-
mark before / entered her home.
l entered a comfortable furnished
home, true, the modern fixing had not
been adopted but the very atmos-
phere radiated hons and 1t had been
called home by members of that
family for generations. The person
to whom the girl referred TO as mo

motherly looking m who was
lawfully glad" that l did drop In and
wanted to make me feel right at

saying Miss Blank and 1 have some

cast the mother retired, A little lat
err this daughter called to her mother
this time to say Cant we have some
thing TO eat2" and mother, foolish,
loving mother made up a dainty little
lunch for the daughter who was
ashamed of her,
Yes, Isn't hat a harsh word but
it's true the daughter was ashamed
of her just because her mother wasn't
dressed perehance as stylishly as that
of other girls. Mothers are the most
precious, precious people in the world
1t doesn't matter IL they are stylish
or just rolly-polly mothers. They have
loved us and cherished US and sacri-
fioed for us and she least we can do
is when we bring anyone down to our
house to say II want you to meet my
mother I think that she Is the most
wonderful person In the world" You'll
feel that way, you'n make your
mother feel that way and your guest
will think, We'll, of course she isn't
as nice as my mother but she's real
nice though" I feel that way don't
you?

Chicago, Oct. MARTIAL law was
declared In Indiana Harbor and East
Chicago, Ind, by Adjutant General
Smith of Indiana. acting on authority
of Governor Goodrich. Maj. Gen.
Leonard Wood then assumed personal
charge Of the strike situation.
One thousand federal troops-part
of the famous fighting Fourth division
that saw service with Pershing in
France-were rushed to the steel city
from Fort Sheridan in autotrucks at
the request of Gov. James p. Goodrich
of Indiana.
They were called out after thou
sands Of striking steel workers had
assumed alarming tactics which threat
ened to end in third serious out
break in as many days
AS taunt to the presence of four
companies of Indiana reserve militia,
scarcely 300 strong, about 1000 eX-
soldiers among the strikers donned
their uniforms and began parading
the streets, displaying pickets' badges.
The khaki-clad strikers were distin-
guishable from the soldiers only by
the rifles which the latter carried. The
pickets in some portions of the city
attempted TO organize in a semblance
of military formation. 1t was evident
from their tactics that some had OBJ
tanned liquor. In several instances
attempts were made to pick fights with
the soldiers on duty. When the crowds
openly began to jeer and boot at the
militiamen Mayor William #. Hodges
hurriedly outlined the situation to
Governor Goodrich by telephone, and
for the first time since the steel strike
started federal troops were called
upon to take a hand.

Explanation of Humidity.

Humidity, technically speaking, says
the Philadelphia Press, is the amount
of water or vapor moisture in the air.
A given space at given temperature
can contain only a definite amount OF
water. If It contains less II will en-
deavor to fill up by evaporation. IL
II contains more the surplus water
will condense When a mass of air
contains ali the moisture II is capable
of holding It is said to he saturated.
The higher the temperature the more
moisture II takes to saturate the air.
II IL contains less moisture than
would saturate 1t at a given tempera-
ture, then the lower temperature ut
which this would sufficient for satura-
ton is called the dew point. The per-
centage of moisture in the air TO what
It would hold II saturated Is called the
relative humidity. Thus, If the air
contains one-half the moisture neces-
sary to saturate It, the relative hui
nudity Is so; If only third. II is 33.
II is of course, at its maximum when
at 100 and fog forms and mist falls.

Among the customers was a lawyer

Despite the confident assertions of
Fitzpatrick Foster and other union
leaders, the developments of the week
In the steel strike went to strengthen
the belief that the battle will be won
by the employers. The mills at Gary
kept increasing their production until
II was said to have reached 80 per cent
of the normal, and many other plants
in that district, including South Chi
caeo, reported that their workers were
lany at Gary, for instance, was oper-
aling on Thursday with about 5000
men, or half the usual force. and the
Mark Manufacturing company, employ
ing between 5000 and 5000 men, was
preparing to reopen its plant with
large force. The strikers still out in
that area were growing restless as they
saw their fellow workers returning by
the thousands, and feared they would
lose their places permanently.
In the Pittsburgh region there was
rot much change in the situation. At
the opening of the week the strike
against the Bethlehem company the
largest independent steel concern in
the country, began, but it was far from
successful. A few of the company's
departments in its various plants were
closed, but most of them were oper-
ating as usual, though with somewhat
reduced forces. The Pennsylvania
state police had the situation well in
hand and violence was quickly sup
