Keep Your Views
to Yourself
And So Avoid Much Bickering and
Scrapptng.

~ NE way to avoid the little
petty scrap that only irrf-
tates yourself and your COM
panions is to keep your personal
views TO yourself. Yet there are
lots OF people who rake occasion
some dozen times a day TO express
personal views In an argumenta-
tive or offensive manner when no
one has expressed the slightest de-
sire to hear them.
There is the man-and the
woman, too-who airs his views
on the question of women In in
dustry. They dislike to see women
| in knickerbockers serving as con-
ductors on street cars and they
dislike women elevator operators.
If the woman conductor gives
wrong change or doesn't signal to

these people are sure to mutter
to a fellow passenger or for the
benefit of any one who wants TO
hear it something to the effect
that women had better stay
home," or that they had person
ally" rather take in washings than
degrade their sex by taking a
mans job and wearing a mans
cloth.
Usually the majority OF our
and so nothing comes of this
match thrown out. There is no
explosion. although there may be
people enough about who are
strongly in favor of the work of
women in industry at the present
time.
This kind of person delights in
airing his views concerning pub
lie characters. II he dimes in a
restaurant and finds the war bread
not TO be entirely to his taste he
will make some little digging re-
mark about the authorities in
Washington for the benefit of
those about him. He is quite
likely to make this remark to the
waiter or waitress in tone TO
imply that that functionary was
personally responsible for it.
s Such people leave nothing to
the Imagination when you know
them socially. You know just
where they stand on political
issues, you know what they think
of spiritualism, of Christian
science, of transparent blouses and
rouge and powder, you know
whether they approve or not of
their neighbor's pretty laughter
or whether they like the new min
ister's wife.
They even insist on indicting
on YOU their personal taste re.
garding certain foods. There are
some persons with an aversion for
onions or cabbage whom you can
not know day without having
them inform you of this SO en-
phatically that you cant forget Ii,
and they usually do it with the
tone of being willing to take up
the cudgels with any one who does
like those toothsome vegetables.

sixty EIGHT cents.
Now, there are sixty-four cents
left of the five dollars. The first
collar was s1.43, the next two
were $3.50, the next was rs cents
and the next 6s cents. That makes
a total of five collars for s4.36.
Spend the rest of the money for
enough organdy TO make the sixth
collar, and work the hens of the
fat turnover collar and the sur
face of the little vext with the
remainder Of the three collars left
from the net. You can either do
polka dots or else a more elaborate
design. The same colors used on
the two collars won't matter, for
by running the net with thick blue
strands, and just a thread here
and there Of rose and buff, for
instance, and using rose and buff
for the most part on the organdie,
with just a touch here and there
of the blue. you will get variety.

Making the
"False Front y
It's q Part of the Dress, Not q
Part of the Hair, You Know.
20 YOU wear false frontsg

40 YOU wear false fronts7
I'D With your sweaters and
- coat suits?
Most of us do, nowadays, and
we find them a tremendously eco
nomical way of meeting the de-
mand for a fresh collar and
front" always. We cannot, many
of us, compass the difficulties of
a clean blouse ever day. A blouse
does not stay clean for very long
in warm weather. And laundry
bills are prohibitiye.
So we. indulge in false fronts.
Now of course these cost good
deal If you buy them ready made.
That is 10 say, the best of them
cost a good deal. And we all want
the best.
But they are not expensive TO
make. You can make half dozen
at the cost of two expensive ready
made ones.
That sounds like an exaggera-
ton. Let's prove it.
Suppose you pay six dollars for
one ready made. And that is not
a high price for one that is dis
tinctive and of good quality.
Now, start in for the materials.
To begin with, you can buy pat
tern showing four or five varia-
tions, and one pattern will thus
do for all your half dozen. for you
can vary ii a little yourself for
the extra one or two.
One might be made of all-over
embroidery. You will need three
quarters of a yard of it. Suppose
il is a dollar and a half a yard.
Three-quarters will be a dollar
and thirteen cents. For thirty
cents you can get enough very
narrow lace TO edge the little
Dutchcollar- Three-quarters of a
yard will do. That's a dollar and
forty-three cents.
Now, for dollar you can get
enough batiste for two fronts. One
you can make with hemstitched
collar and revers. One you can
make with imitation val edging a
ruffed collar, and with strips of
val lace crossing the vest front.
The val, in good quality, can be
bought for fifty cents. That's two
more collars for one and a half
dollars. Total, so far, three dol
lars and ninety-three cents.
For one, buy half a yard Of the
thin pongee that sells for dollar
a yard. Have the frill edges fin
ished with a picot-twenty FIVE
cents will pay for that. Another
collar for seyenty-fiye cents.
For another, buy half a yard
of coarse net at a dollar yard,
and three six-cent skeins of col
ored floss. Run the edges of the
net ruf1ies with the colored floss,
In several thicknesses. TO make a

AS to a Ring

n HANY engagements take place
M without any betrothal rings
AsA whatever. AS matter OF
fact, while a ring is regarded as
essential to a wedding, an engage
ments ring is matter of choice.
Young women sometimes differ
entiate between "ring engage
ment" and an ordinary engage
ment with the absurd notion that
where there is no ring engagement
obligations are less binding. OF
course, this is silly.
Many an engaged business
woman prefers not 10 wear ring
that will attract attention TO what
she considers her own affairs and
not that of those she meets in the
course of her daily work. For
this reason the business girl often
prefers not TO have any engage
ment ring whatever. The man in
the case has nothing to say in the
matter. Though he may be ex-
cused for insisting that his wife
wear her wedding ring. he has no
such claim regarding his fancee.

NO GENERAL STRIKE
in TEXTILE MILLS
The Three Chains of Mills to
Which Strike Is Confined
Deemed Sufficient.

CHARLOTTE, N c., July 15.-"A
general strike in the textile mills of
the south is not included in present
plans, in the light of new conditions
and new developments" said Thomas
F. McMahon, president of the United
Textile Workers of America, in a state
ment issued here late today.
The statement followed conferences
with committees and delegations of
textile workers, about 5000 of whom
have been on strike since June 1, when
score of mills at Charlotte, Concord
and Kannapolis, n. c., were closed. Mr..
McAIahon arrived from New York
early today
1.-THE three chains of mills to which
the strike is now confined are suf-
ficient for us to show the owners that
we mean business said the union
chief "At present, we are not plan
ming to extend the strike, but will con-
centrate our efforts now among the
workers already out"
''McMahon brought the money" was
his laconic reply to a question as to
whether or not he brought funds to
aid the local strikers.
Another development of the day in
textile circles was the announcement
that the Atherton cotton mill and the
Charlotte spinning mill would close by
the mana gements next Monday for an
indefinite period. on account of lack of
orders. These mills were not affected
by the June strike.

clared Senator Fletcher. $50 far as
am advised, this gill meets the unani-
NOUS approval of every American
Legion post in my state. The legisla-
tHre of Florida memoralized congress
to enact legislation providing for ad-
ditional compensation to those who
served during the world war. I have
received numerous letters and tele-
gains favoring the passage of this
soldier bonus bill, but only three in
opposition. 1t is my purpose in these
circumstances to oppose the motion TO

should be disposed of Immediately. and

president, congress would then be in
position to determine what changes,

NAVAL employees
ARE IDLE TODAY
Temporary Policy Requires Five
Days to Constitute a
Weeks Work.

Described as a temporary policy and
not to be considered as a permanent
change, the navy department last night
notified Capt. H. H. Christy. COM
mandant of the naval air station, to
suspend activities of civilian employees
on Saturdays until further notice. For
that reason all civilians except those
employed in the hydrogen and power
plants and the pumping station at the
navy yard will be idle today and are
not to report for duty. Classified en-
ployes will be paid If they apply be-
tween IL o'clock and noon at the dis
bursting office.
The navy department and the com
mandant wish it to be made plain that
the present order is a temporary one
and that the old schedule will be re-
sumed at the earliest possible date.
The department order says that the
change in the number of working days
is made for the best interests of all
concerned, because otherwise a reduc-
tion in force might become necessary.
Enlisted personnel will carry on as
usual.
The reduction in the number of days
of employment each week is a part
of the general plan of contraction of
navy expenditures made necessary by
the reduced appropriation for certain
classes of work and will not affect the
expansion which is expected to follow
the awarding Of contracts for perma-
nent improvements and repairs.
Employees at the yard were not noti-
fed of the new order. yesterday be-
cause it arrived after office hours, but
in order that men may not make an
unnecessary trip to the station Capt.
Christy has directed that messengers
be stationed at the Bayshore car sta
tions to call the attention of employees
to the new regulation.

Testimony of Former Mine Fore
man Before Senate Invest
igating Committee.
COMMITTEE MAY VISIT
THE SCENE OF TROUBLE
Matter Is Brought Up for Dis
cussion But No Decision
Is Reached.
t5y The Associates Presa.,

LONDON, July 15.-Two more i'm
portant conferences were held today
in the effort by the prime. minister,
Mr.. Lloyd George, and the leaders of
southern and northern Ireland to lay
the foundation of a meeting of the
leaders of the two countries to en-
deavor to reach a solution of the Irish
problem.
The first conference was between
Mr.. Lloyd George, and Eamonn de-
Valera, the Irish republican leader, and
the second between Mr.. Lloyd George
and Sir James Craig, premier of Ulster.
No official information as to the re-
suits attained by the conferences was
issued, but it may be said that the
preliminary negotiations are shaping
better than any one could have dared
to hope week ago. No hitch thus
far has occurred.
Mr.. de Valera will meet Mr. Lloyd
George again on Monday, while Sir
James has summoned some members
of his cabinet to London, which would
appear to indicate that some sugges-
tion worthy of consideration by the
Ulster. government has come to light.
Finally, it is said by those in close
touch with the negotiations, that there
is every prospect that the proposed
conference of Mr.. Lloyd George, Mr..
de Valera, and Sir James will material
ize early next week.
When the Ulster premier left Down
ing street at $50 o'clock this after
noon, Mr.. Lloyd George had, had four
hours of man to man discussion with
Mr. de Valera and two hours and a
half with Sir James. There is reason
to believe that at the termination of
these intimate talks there was little of
the viewpoints of the three leaders, the
handicaps with which they are fettered,
and the lines over which they would
not dare to step, which had not been
made perfectly clear to the others.
Each also was cognizant of what fail
ure ultimately to compose these di-
vergent views would mean. and was
fully alive to the responsibilities with
which they were burdened.
From the sequence of develop
ments. those who have closely followed
the meetings inferred that the storm
center had shifted to the Ulster mems
camp.
1t is intimated in well informed
quarter that Sir James now is face to
face with the definite alternatives ar
rived at in the Lloyd George-De Valera
interchanges of yesterday and today.
The same informant, expressed the be-
lief that these are not regarded as
utterly impossible by Sir James, but
that they involve concessions which

The answer brought another recital OF

ten men died, but Keeney retorted that
sit wasn't proven that a United Mine
Worker had killed Felts.
w. e. Hutchison, another miner and
organizer, and Keeney, attributed the
continuation of the strike to the refusal
of the mine operators to deal in any
fashion with the United Mine workers,
and to their alleged policy Of continuing
to work the mines with non-union forces.
Keeney's cross examination will be con-
tinued tomorrow.

committee today discussed without COM
ing to a conclusion, proposals that they
