VIE first important labor

TTHE first important labor
saver for women was the
sewing machine, which re-
placed the tedious and lengthy
process of sewing seams by hand.
To-day, in its improved forms.
especially irf the machines operated
by power, the modern housewife
finds strong ally to cheaper,
more durable clothing and greater
economy in her dress budget.
The usual type is treadle
operated, and may be either what
is called flock" stitch or chain"
stitch, In the former case either
one spool and a bobbin or two
spools are used to make the double
or clock stitch, while only one
spool and no bobbin is used for
the ''chain" stitch whose advantage
is the ease with which the sewing
may be unravelled, thus making it
an excellent machine in family
of growing children, where hens
must be let down frequently.
Every season sees on the market
improvements, and the develop
ment of machines using a small
motor, which thus removes the
need for fatiguing foot treading.
It is possible to purchase a very
inexpensive small motor, which may
be instantly attached to the hand
wheel of any ordinary sewing ma
chine and thus make it into a
speedy electric machine.
There is another excellent model
of portable electric sewing machine

of not being able to locate the
number of a broken part Of an
appliance will appreciate the saw
ing in time and nervous tension
by being able to put her finger on
such a booklet the moment she
needs it.
In all appliances parts are
more frequently numbered than
they are named-i. e., If you are
so unfortunate as to break the
cooper" of your sewing machine
you will be able to get it replaced
more quickly if you ask for part
No. 81, or whatever it may be,
than by its name. / am sure ]
said not long ago that every me-
chanical appliance has a factory
number and is a definite model.
In the case of a machine it may
be No. portable sewing machine,
and it's number may be 1884 B;
now if you have this information
(and it is so easy to write down
in a little book or on a card in
your file) you will have no trouble
in getting new parts.
Time and again l have been
asked whats the number of your
machine?" no matter whether it
was the sewing machine, the IRON
ing machine or what. In the
factory the models may be changed
frequently, and if you do not
know your exact model and serial
number you will have great
difficulty in securing the new
mart.

Why he wanted
to knOqv her

THERE was no special reason for his coming to
4 this dance, and then, in the brightly cleaning
lights he saw her Slender dainty, radiant she stood
out from among all others like softly flushing rose
She was turned slightly from him when his eyes
first found her, and he watched eagerly for chance
to see more clearly.
Suddenly, as if his gaze had drawn her, she raised
her graceful head and looked at him. Was it possible
that anything could be SO sweet?
The family glowing color of her round cheek,
melting into the cream of throat and shoulder. The
pure whiteness of the low broad brow, the coral Of
curving lips-she was like delicate miniature on
ivory.
For a breathless second he watched her, then
fastened to his hostess. "Who is she? he whispered
drawing his friend quickly toward her.

POLITICIANS READY
FOR SMALL'S ANSWER
ON DENOMINATION
Generally Believed Gouer-
nor Will Seek An
other Term.

Kanliaisee, ILL.,, Aug. 15.-This
cit ytoday was the mecca of political
leaders from throughout the state.
who came to the home town Of
Governor Len Small to hear the ex-
pected formal announcement of his
candidacy for denomination on the
Republican ticket.
The governor at political rally
scheduled to start shortly after noon
in the armory. was to announce his
position. and it was generally believed
he would cast his hat in the ring.
Among the leaders here was former
Mayor William Hale Thompson of
Chicago. and Fred Lundin. former
congressman. both close friends of
Governor Small. Adherents of the gov
ernor in the legislature and many
state officials also were present.
The presence of Mr.. Thompson led
political observers to believe that n
boom would develop during the day
to put him in the senatorial race
against Senator Medill Mccormick.
The former mayor is said to be adj
verse TO making a campaign, but per-
sons close to him expressed the opin-
ion that he would yield in the event
of general demand for his candi-
dacy.
Linked with the probable candida
cies of Small and Thompson was the
sentiment among their associates for
the alleged presidential aspirations Of
Senator Hiram johnson of California.
There, has been talk of "big three"
movement in Illinois to gain success
for these men.

directed in first aid to the victims
overcome by gas and smoke.
The rescuers passed through the
workings us hurriedly as possible
searching only for the living. The dead
were found scattered throughout the
main slope. but their bodies were not
touched until . o'clock last night.
when the task of bringing them to the
surface began. after hopes were aban
doned of finding any more men alive.
Indications were that those who haG
survived had taken shelter in rooms
off the passageways, through whicr
the smoke and gas from the explosion
swept, and had either lain on the
floor or bratticed off areas which were
kept free from gas.
Scores apparently had thrown dowo
their tools and rushed from the rooms
only to be met by almost instant
death as the wave of gas enveloped
them.
The bodies of nearly all the victims
were blackened if by dense smoke
AS rapidlysas they We're brought to the
surface they were taken to the morgue,
where they were identified and prep
arations made for burial.

EITHER STRIKE OR
THE CHECK-OFF is
UNION ULTIMATUM
Hope Held Present Nego-
tiations Will Avert Walk
out of Miners.

New York. Aug. 1T-Resumption OF
wage negotiations was undertaken
here. today by officials of the United
Mine Workers of America and the an
thracite operators committee at the
invitation of the United States Coal
Commission. with the view of averting
a hard coal strike on September l.
Before entering into the conference,
presided over by John Hays Ham
mond. chairman of the federal coal
commission. the mine workers leaders
apparently had set their minds to a
clear cut issue--a strife, or the
check-off. by which the operators hre
asked to deduct union dues from the
wages of union miners.
The operators contend that accept
ance of the demand for the check-off
would mean binding them to "collec-
ton of war fund" for the unions
which might be used in later strikes
and aid in bringing about the "closed
shop" conditions.

Educational Qualifications
of Teachers Will
F.; Govern Pay.
BUSINESS IS HANDLED
Finance Committee Con-
fronted With Problem
Of Revenue.

With the prospect that educational
qualifications of teachers will deter
mine the size of their salaries, as pro
vided for under the new salary SEIZED
ule yet to be adopted, the San An
tonic public school board office force
is now working overtime in compiling
data that will enable the finance com.
mittee to. fix budget that will be
within the revenue derived during the
ensuing year, it was revealed at q
called meeting of the school, board,
Tuesday afternoon.
Since the school board office records
as to the education qualifications of
teachers are up-to-date only so far as
new teachers are concerned, statistics
will be incomplete until the teachers
assemble in San Antonio during in.
stitute week when questionnaires as
to their work in normal schools and
colleges will be filled out by the teach
ers. Since the teachers are now scat
tered over the country, the desired in
formation cannot be obtained at this
time, DIR. Jeremiah Rhodes, superin-
tendent of schools, explained to the
board.
Will Mean Increases.
Since the new salary schedule, IL
adopted, will mean a substantial in
crease in the amount paid out for SAL
aries, the finance committee is con-
fronted with the problem of determin-
ing to what extent the new salary
schedule may be adopted so that the
revenue might not be exceeded. This
will be difficult to determine since
the new salary schedule will be put
into effect gradually and the salaries
of the teachers will be fixed according
to the amount of academic work they
have accomplished and according to
other qualifications.
DIR. Rhodes reported to the school
board that teachers in the San An.
tonic public schools were already af-
fected by the report that their salaries
would be increased if they obtained
baccalaureate degrees. There is lar
ger number of teachers taking summer
work than ever before. DR.. Rhodes in
formed the school board. Between 20
and 30 are at the University of Cali
fornia; probably an equal number is
at the University of Chicago; and per-
haps a larger number at Columbia, DIR.
Rhodes estimates. There are many
teachers taking summer work at the
normal at San Marcos. and other in
situations throughout the country.
In order that the work of comp. ing
fhe data as to. educational dualifica-
tions of teachers might be expedited,

Bids Are Opened.
Bids on upright and baby grand

Junior high schools were opened AT
the board meeting. The bids were re-
ferred to the school board business
manager for tabulation. Action upon
the purchase of musical instruments
will be deferred until the finance nom.

Bids for printing school supplies
were also opened and referred to the
business office for tabulation.
Superintendent of Buildings and
Grounds Joe Beck, was authorized to
rent space in warehouse for the
storage of two carloads of furniture

other cafeteria equipment were held
up until Mrs. Brown and the cafeteria
committee could hold conference.
Upon the recommendation OF the

the school board made an appropria.
ton. not to exceed $500, to repair anG
nut into condition a small building on
