SETTLEMENT STEPS
 IN TEXTILE STRIKE

Manchester. N. H., Aug. 4-The settleme ent of the strike at the New market Mills, the first break in the six months state wide strike against a wage cut of 20 per cent. and an in crease from 48 to 54 hours-was dis cussed with interest yesterday at meet fngs of the 25,00O operatives affect ed. The victory for the Newmarket strikers. of whom there were 1000 in retaining the old rate of wage on a fifty hour working basis, was hail. ed by many es establishing the basis of settlement of strikes elsewhere To others, however, the fact that it was announced that the settlement ap- piled to the silk departments, which constitute the principal part of the Newmarket plant-discounted its eff feet on the cotton mills situation.
 Vice President James Starr of the United Textile Workers of America at the strike headquarters here said he was without a,avices that would indicate the general significance of the Newmarket agreement. He was inclined to think that it applied to silk and cotton workers alike, he said unless the company had decided to Iabondon its cotton operations.

 By Manufacture

According to a new ruling of the Internal Revenue Department receiv- ed at this office from Washington, au- tomobile lenses of special design, side lights, stop lights and other anti-glare equipment possessing beam refracting features are subject to tax when sold by the manufacturer. Plain glass lenses are not taxable. The former ruling allowing the lens equipment to be tax free has been revoked. This ruling held that parts of auto lamps were raw materials and such were not subject to tax.
 Field and office deputies have been notified of the change and from now on will collect the tatx due on -the equipment.

NEW YORK, Oct. Clearing to
swim at sea without entering the ocean
is the unusual experience of many
American girls who are journeying to
South America this season. The swim
ming at sea takes place aboard the
speedy Munson Liners operating under
the Stars and Stripes Ali of these
vessels of this line plying between
New York and South American ports
are equipped with open air swimming
tanks, which provide endless hours
of pleasure for the traveller.
Competent swimming instructors
are on board the vessels, to guide the
efforts of those who know nothing of
equatic sports. A humorist who re-
Gently made the trip to Rio de Janeiro
on the S. S. Southern Cross after watch
ing the efforts of the bevy of shape1y
and pretty girls who were performing
in the tank, remarked: "'This is indeed
a sight-watching mermaids learning
to SWIM"
The swimming tanks aboard the
Munson liners are used in the Neptune
ceremony which is enacted when the
vessels cross the equator. On the trip
to South America, traveller spends
practically every minute of his day
light hours in deck sports. The swim
ming tank always has its full quota.
Besides the swimming, golf is played
on the decks. This is accomplished thru
the use of device which indicates the
distance accomplished by drive on
the ball, which is attached by a string,
to a recording instrument.
Tennis courts are also to be found
On the upper deck of the vessels and
keep the younger personnel occupied
with healthfu1 exercise. 1t is the swim
ming tank, however, which seems to
have an appeal for the older travellers
who do not venture for a plunge, but
enjoy the sports almost as much as
those participating in them. There is
a big open room on one of the upper
decks which is practically a balcony
overlooking the swimming tank and
here, in comfortable wicker chairs the
spectators sit by the hour watching
the mermaids disport themselves in
the tank below.
The indications are that more Amer
leans will visit Rio this year than ever
before in the history of travel. The
Brazilian Centennial Exposition is the
big magnet which is drawing them to
the land under the blazing Southern
Cross. Secretary of State, Chas. E.
Hughes, recently returned after parti-
cipating in the opening ceremonies.

Thrown Ashore Almost Naked.

Two men Of the Chandelier, Brit
lsh vessel, found themselves the sole
survivors Of the crew of the boat their
Skipper had sent ashore on tSe Pata-
gonian coast. A gale had suddenly
1prung up, and when returning to the
vessel the small craft had stove in her
bottom on q rock. The pajr were
thrown ashore in an almost naked CON
dtion, and to increase their disaster
snow began to fall heavily. The she'll
hsh found on the shore was their only
food. A heap Of branches butt like
a lean-to against the face of the cliff,
and covered with earth thrown up by
their hands, formed their only shelter.
Death stared them In the face and at
last each made the. other promise that
in the event of one dying the survivor
would not become a cannlbsl. Two
days after. the gale abated a lookout
on board ii. NJ S. Shearwater, then
proceeding to Esquimalt and the North
Pacific station, caught { glimpse OF
them, and they were saved.

STRAWS IN THE WIND

Straws show which way the wind
blows, even for grocer, if he has
developed keen sense of observation.
! A very small girl entered a grocery
store the other day with puzzled
frown wrinkling her forehead. She was
thinking, and thinking hard There
being no other customers in the store
at the time, the clerk was able to give
her all of his attention
And what can do for you today?'
he inquired as he leaned over the coun-
ter so as to get a good view of his
tiny patron. ~-
81 want-T want" she began hest
tatngly, and then stopped for mo-
ment as her eyes roved over the shell
YES. I want package OF that" her
finger pointed toward package. That
is | mean if it's oatmeap' she added.
The clerk turned around, his eyes
following the pointing finger, reached
up and took down package of Heck
er's Cream Rolled Oats. GLOW do YOU
know that this is what your Mama sent
for? he inquired casually, as he wrapped
up the purchase.
81 can tell it by the big red ball on
the box" the tot replied confidently
"You can see pictures of it in the news
papers besides it's the only kind Of
! oats we ever use at our house"
This little incident which is ocur.
ring daily in hundreds of retail stores
shows the value of striking trade
mark, the identity of which has beer
established by years of excessive ad
vertising backed by products of super
ior quality.
Newspaper advertising has been one
Of the chief means which has been usec
to make the Hecker Red Ball so fam
liar in every household as to be rec.
ognized by even the smallest child as
the mark of supreme quality in GER
calls.
This season particularly strong ad-
vertising campaign on Hecker's &C.
reals is being run in the local papers,
keeping the message of the Hecker
Red Ball fresh in the mind of every
housewife. -,,..
Such advertising coupled with the
liberal use of other mediums, means
quick turnover and frequent supplies
of new stock fresh from the mill.
Sales can be further accelerated by
the use of window trims, recipe book
lets, counter displays; which can be
had on request to the Hecker Cereal

Aboriginal Languages.

While the American aborigines, par
hcularly in the Southwest, have shown
aptitude for some of the handicrafts,
notably that of the potter and Of the
weaver, they are not often considered
expert in the art of speech, and or
dinarily we think of their dialects as
rude, impoverished jargons in which
tale is told indifferently, unmindful
that the best literature Of all nations
@as produced at the period In their
development where barbarian, as we
visualize 1t, left off and culture began.
In fact, we have come to think Of
their silence as prOverbial. They do
