WANT AMERICAN
MINERS TO AID
BRITISH STRIKE

Montreal, Que, April S-The
executive committee of the federated
trades and labor council today Is
considering a resolution asking the
American Federation of Labor TO
urge the united mine workers of
America to refuse to mine coal for
export to Great Britain or for the
use Of English ships during the Brit
ish coal strike.
The resolution was referred to the
committee at a meeting last night
after stormy discussion. Some Of
the delegates cOntended that the
British miners are able to take care
of themselves while others declared
that American miners should not act
as strike breakers. The executive
committee was instructed TO take
whatever action it deemed advisable,
without further report to the coun-

COLORED ROAD SIGNS
FOR THE MOTORIST

Trenton, n. J. April 8-Installa-
tion Of national system Of color
signals for the control Of motor
traffic on national and state high
ways. simyar to the standardized
use Of red Of red. yellow and green
in railroad system is suggested by
highway officials of New Jersey,
who have approved bill for adop-
ton Of the plan in that state.
The bill which contains measures
approved by the Committee on
Standards Of the American Associa
ton Of State Highway Officials,
would have red signs to indicate
first degree danger, such as rail
road crossings, dead ends Of roads,
or lift bridges; yellow indicating
second degree danger at curves or
grades. and green showing moving
or traffic danger only to be used at
road intersections.
Many national organizations inter
ested in the move to reduce the an
nual automobile toll have expressed
their endorsement of the bills pro
posals.
Recent investigation, il is point
cd out, shows that many leading
American cities have failed to unite
on a uniform use of color in highway
signalling. Ded, for instance, mean
ing first degree danger or an absol
ute stop signal in one town is used in
the next town at place where
green should be employed.
Two hundred American cities and
towns are reported already to have
adopted this color signal project
while many more. highway officials
believe, will fall in line the coming
year.

ILLINOIS HENS IN
EGG-LAYING CONTEST
(Ry The AssociateH Pressl

Murphysboro. ILL.,, April 3-Four
hundred hens have been entered to
date in three year national egg lay
ing contest starting here Nov. l. The
race is regarded in Illinois as the
first of its sort ever held.
The contest was planned and will
be conducted by Paul Arndt, high
school instructor of vocational edu-
cation here, and his class Of forty
boys.
Wide interest has been aroused
among poultrymen and eighty breed
ers from widely scattered sections
have registered pen Of five hens
each.
Training the boys have had. ac-
cording to Carl Colvin, State Sup
erintendent Of Vocational Agricul-
ture, will assure breeders that their
poultry will receive the best atten-
ton. Businessmen Of Murphysboro
and poultry raisers Of the vicinity
have underwritten the race.
The boys will market the eggs.
providing chiken feed in return
witout cost A market has already
been arranged for in st. Louis The
privilege of selling the eggs, it is
believed, will offset the entire cost
Of the contest.
Trap nests will be used to avoid
any possibility that the hen that
does the cackling gets undue credit
for laying the egg. Poultry houses
of the latest type are being erected
by the high school boys on the
school grounds.
Breeders who send their hens to
Murphysboro for the first year of
the contest will be privileged to enter
a relay Of fresh birds the second
year.

TURK ARMY ADVANCING
AGAINST BEATEN GREEK
FORCES IN ASIA MINOR
European Military Authorities Are
Fearful of Big Disaster to
Smyrna Expedition

PARIS, April S.-Turkish national
lists have resumed their advance
against the Greeks in the Brussa sec
tor, Asia Minor, according to advices
received at the French foreign office.
Fears are entertained here for the
entire Greek expeditionary force.
The magnitude of the reverse suf-
fered by the Greeks appears to have
been greater than was at first suppos-
ed. Six thousand wounded Greeks are
reported to be in hospitals in Brussa.
ATHENS, April 8. Wounded
Greek soldiers are arriving in such
numbers from Smyrna on the Brussa
front that sanitary authorities in this
country are unable to care for them
properly.
Two thousand injured men arrived
at the Piraeus Thursday, where they
found inadequate hospital facilities.
Queen Sophia has appealed to the
American Red Cross at Paris for nur-
ses. Four classes of doctors have beer
called by the government.

GERMANY HAS
new PROPOSAL
ON INDEMNITY
Paris Hears Plan Will Be
Presented Through Amecr-
ican Agency
fRy The Associated Pressl

Paris, April Sit was semi-of-
ficially announced here today that
fresh propositions for reparations
are expected from Germany.
Unconfirmed reports state that the
Germans are making another effort
to interest the United States in the
question by negotiations between
Carl Bergman, German under sec
retary of the treasury, and Rowland
M. Boyden, formerly an American
unofficial representative on the al
lied reparations commission.
Boyden is now in Vienna, enroute
to Constantinople, it is understood.
In answering the recent German
communication to Washington on the
subject of reparations, Secretary
Hughes said that the United States
government believed it recognized in
the German document "a sincere de-
sire on the part of the German gov
ernment to reopen negotiations with
the allies on a new basis"
He expressed the hope that such
negotiations, once resumed, may
lead TO a prompt settlement and
satisfy the just claims Of the allies,
permitting Germany fully to renew
its productive activities. There was a
suggestion in the correspondence
that any meeting to this end should
be held in Washington.
The present expectation is that
the allies will issue an ultimatum to
Germany on expiration Of the time
limit set for the payment Of 20 bill
lions of marks on May 1.

Made From Mems Shirts.

Many articles may be made from the
bottoms and sleeves of mems worn
shirts. The material is better than
the cotton material in women's I'M
derwear. If the cuffs and collar Of
the shirt are only worn, you can take
a piece from the bottom to bind tho
cuffs and collar and the shirt will
wear for some time longer. or If the
turnover cuff on q soft neglige shirt
is worn on the edge. simply remove
the cuff from the wrist and reverse
the cuff; then when the cuff is turned
over the good side will be outside.
! A shirt that can no longer be worn
by a man will make a child's petit
coat. drawers, underwaists. boomers.
baby dresses. little girls and wom-
ems aprons. pillowcases for baby. and
baby nightdresses.
To cut over into infants slips, open
down the center front and cut the
little front sections Of the slip from
the front of the shirt and the back
sections of the slip from the back of
the shirt. Use the pieces left over
from the back for facings and bind
easily cut from tho sleeves Of the
shirt. Another way to.treat the edges
Of the worn cuffs of mems shirts is to
take a piece of the material from the
side seam and put a neat binding of
about a quarter of an inch round the
cuff. and the shirt may then be worn
for another long period of time.
Don't throw away mems linen COL
lars because they are frayed at tho
edge. The linen in these collars is
Usually an excellent quality. Soak
the starch out and use for collars and
cuffs oh children's dresses. add a lit
tie embroidery: they will outwear
any dress.

The Bathroom.

Eaeh member of the family should
be provided with his own towelrack,
towels and washcloths. While this
may seem to be an obvious Sugges-
ton. if strictly observed it will pre-
vent Infection and disease from be-
ing carried from one member of a
family to another. Each member of
the family should also have his and
her own toothbrush glass and nail
brush receptacle. Confusion can be
prevented by pasting the owners mi
tialS or name over each towel rack,
which should be placed along the
sides of the room. These initials may
be as ornamental as you please. This
plan is far more satisfactory than an
attempt to make different designs en-
broidered in the towels.

A Child's Pocket Money.

AS child grows older his pocket
money and his responsibilities should
increase. He should be taught that
money stands as an equivalent for
work. that there is a definite limit to
it's appearance and part of the pocket
money at least should be given in re-
turn for service rendered. Quite
young boys and girls can be made
responsible for the purchase of such
things as their own pens. pencils.

lights to buy her own hair ribbons
and hanke-chiefs. 1t is much more
economical in the end for the youth
