SCHOOL-MADE HATS
CUT LIVING COSTS
Students at "Tech" Enthusias-
tic for Course in Rudiments
of Millinery.

The three RS" have been aug
mented in the curriculum OF McKin-
ley Manual Training School.
In addition to learning about isos.
celes triangles, and such things, the
freshman class is plying the scissors
and needles, and course in spring
millinery is in full swing.
A millinery class is no new thing at
Mckinley, but this year, on account
of the II. c. of Hats, emphasis has
been placed on the rudiments of hat
making. This is the most important
phase of the millinery course, because
1t teaches the girls how to make over
last years hats.
Hats that cost s15 at one of the
shops are made by the thirty students
~ the "Tech" millinery class for only
SO.
The girls say IL is done simply
First get an idea, even II you have to
borrow 1t from hat in the shop win
dow. Then buy a wire frame. Fish
up a last seasons hat and remove AL
the trimmings for the new hat II
may turn out TO be "tam," n sailor
velvet hat, a straw. or n boudoir
cap, but II costs only SO.

STRIKE
ACTION DEFERRED
Building Trades Council Hopes
Hod Carriers Grievances
Will Be Adjusted.

The building trades council at a
special meeting last night deferred
action toward a possible strike in
sympathy with the striking hod-
carriers and common laborers until
the arrival here Of international labor
leaders, through whose efforts an
amicable adjustment OF the differ
ences between the men and contrac-
tors Is expected.
A resolution was passed strongly
urging the council to try to procure
settlement by negotiations be-
tween the stabilizing committee OF
the council and the builders.
The position was taken that a
sympathetic strike at this time would
be to the advantage Of contractors.
Already, one of the delegates de-
clared. because of the threatened
sympathetic walk-out, hundreds OF
non-union workers have flocked In.
bringing about the condition desired
by the contractors.
Also since there Is practically no
construction work under way at the
present time, and no structural steel
buildings are in the course OF con-
struction, it was shown that the con-
struction workers strike would be
more or less pointless.

He has discovered a new portion OF

ture before the National Academy
OF Sciences yesterday.
DIR. Merriam had thrown on the

long, with upper front teeth curv-
ing downward for a distance OF
twelve inches and armed with a
serrated inner edge like a saw.

mouth full for fresh warm flesh.
This cat is the saber-toothed

listeners felt that they did not
care to stroke Its fur the wrong
way.
The skeleton was one Of num-
ber found In an asphalt lake In
California, which has proved
treasure house of prehistoric re-
mains.
Scientists figure that . fly
would get caught in the sticky
surface OF the lake; bird would
go after the fly and get en-
meshed; then a small animal
would meet it's doom chasing the
bird: and finally the big saber-
tooth would go after the animal
and never come back.
Previous investigators have
held the theory that the saber-
tooth Just got a case of exag-

glad to go to a prehistoric dentist
and get rid of them. DIR. Merriam
showed by a study of the places

that the primeval tom-cat was an
adept at stabbing his prey with
the big tusks and then drinking
its blood.
When he got a toothache, how
ever, there must have been some
racket on the primeval back
