Fish Nets. the First Lace.

Examine piece of fine and costly
lace. What is it fundamentally?
1t is net. BY origin it>is fish
net. The first lacemaker was fish,
erman, or perhaps his wife.
. All Of the beautiful laces we know
today are developed from that clever
invention, the fish net. They bark
back, therefore, far into the prehis-
tOric.
The first white men who came to
America found no lacemakers on this
continent, but they did find the In
dams weaving fabrics of cotton, yucca
and other fabrics, with elaborate pat
tern" designs, They were particularly
skillful at certain sort of "drawn-
work."
. The Califor Indians of today
make cotton lace, but the art has been
taught to them by white people. The
pottery they make for sale is some
times adorned with this lace.
Which suggests mention of the fact
that the early Indians often decorated
their pottery with textile patterns by
impressing the latter upon the clay
while soft.

declared frequently that he is not con

AS result of the arrests, striking
at the heart Of the Sim Fein govern

Women Demand Grit.

If YOU have the grit you can COM
mand respect. The world doesn't want
any faWning apologies. That may
serve purpose under some "weak
sister" circumstances, but never under
the greatest need. Some folks wonder
why it is that "all the world loves a
lover" The fact is a lover must have
grit. Women want their heroes to be
leaders, daring, irresistible. They
want men who do things. They even
like to be made do few things they
protest but enjoy just the same.
Weaklings 90 lot dare such audacity.
They fear they will lose the maiden's
smiles. AS Il matter Of fact it's the
daring and the assurance that wins
"Faint heart never won fair lady" we
are told. Even in lovemaking you
must have grit. And what's more the
fellow that does not have grit doesn't

an waste herself on: a molfy-coddle1

London-The Liverpool correspon.:
dent of the Evening Telegram in a
message says:
AN orgy of outrage and destruction
believed to have been engineered by
Sim Feiners was carried out on IL cot
ton warehouses and several timber
yards here. Several fires were burn

the assistance of outlying fire brigades.
Many of the fires still are burning.
''The descriptions of two men want
ed in connection with the fires have
been circulated by the police and it is
believed, adds the message, that both
are connected with the Sim Fein
movement.
A dispatch to the press association
from Liverpool says:
Buildings Fired simultaneously.
IAN alarming outbreak of Sim Fein
violence occurred Saturday night
shortly before o'clock. Fires broke
out simultaneously both in the south
and north ends of Liverpool and also
in Bootle.
"There were seven fires in Bootle
and II in various parts of Liverpool.
Subsequent discoveries revealed a
well-planned Sim Fein plot to spread
a holocaust. of fire among the ware
houses in the whole seven miles of the
dock area.
lowing to the inflammable nature of
the contents of the warehouses, the
flames quickly gained a strong hold
and by l o'clock in the morning the
whole sky was lit up. The local fire
brigades were unable to cope with the
situation and were obliged to call brig
AIDES from other suburbs. The police
Communicated all telephone wires and
took all steps to prevent further out
breaks by concentrating policemen
along the line of docks.
"The fires in some instances were
quickly quenched. Others in stocked
cotton warehouses burned fiercely the
night long. One in the south end and
another in Bottle at the north end are
taken as proving that there was care
full organization. 1t was found that all
locks on the warehouses had been cut.
Many empty petrol cans were found
on the scene. Each fire started at
more than one place. At one timber
yard there were three separate out
breaks"

Chicago-Representative- of the Six

During Federal control OF the rail-
roads, other than wage disputes were
settled by three boards of adjust

ployes want them re-established
The railroads contended, when the
matter came up in recent wage hear

had power only to deal with wage
questions and that consequently it
could not rule on other differences.

The board took the plea of the en-

nounced if it decided to go into the
matter an early hearing would be
held.
W. s. Stone of Cleveland, grand chief
Of the Brotherhood OF Locomotive En-

classed ''for seventeen years as an
ultra-conservative, l have arrived at
the point where l am through making
excuses to the men," y
There must be some plan found
whereby we can get results for these

of responsibility for years. We have
tried to embody your boards decision
of last July in agreements with 353
railroads, but only four agreements
have been signed. The roads refused
to sign until the board passes on
