CHAPTER XXI.
The Stncerest Flattery.

Lolette lounged in bed, lounged on
silk, black silk, with a vivid. Oriental
kimono about her shoulders. At the
bedside was little ebony table-for
ebony was Lolettes favorite wood, a
wood made by the gods, it seemed, to
set off her flaming beauty-and on the
table We're the articles of petit de-
jeuner, the exquisite silver coffee
utensils, the fragile cup, the rolls.
From the corner of her twisted mouth
depended a slender black cigarette
holder and Tire smoke of a Russian
cigarette -Svreathed up about her
brushed-out, Hair.
She tossed aside the seventh news
paper she had scanned that morning.
They lay on the floor at the foot of
the bed. all around her, crumpled,
some of them torn viciously, all de-
faced by her slim white hands and
her rage.
For each and every one of them
blazed forth the triumph of La Pha-
lene. II was Stupendous and 1t was
incredible. In a night this simpering
Puritan had leaped to the stars. More
than one of the journals described
her as the greatest dancer in the
world. All of them voiced her praises
in no uncertain way
L0lette sat very still when the last
of. the papers was tossed in a ball to
the floor, sat with her hands clasped
about her knees under the sickness
of the bed clothes, and stared through
the wreath of smoke at the silver and
gray tapestry of the wall.
Like all her kind, she was vain to
the degree of folly 1t had been out
side the pale of her calculations that
ever there could exist her equal as
dancer-to say nothing of her super
ior. She was Lolette-the premiere
danseuse. 1t filed the world for her
and blinded her sight to every other
possibility. There had been but one
LoIette. There could never be an
other.
And yet-there was La Phalene,
come like the sun over the edge of
the unknown, dimming the luster of
the moon, yet high in the heavens,
but like to die as the new light
spread across the world.
Toilette watched the overlong ash
from her cigarette drop on to the
silken coverlet with eyes which did
not consciously see the happening.
All this was such a shock that she
felt stunned and helpless. For she
herself had created this creature
which was likely to destroye her; she
herself had set La Phalene's feet on
the steep pathway to fame.
Truly Partisan, she could appreciate

By the Associated Press.
SAN SALVADOR. Republic Of SAL

President Chamorro Of Nicaragua is
planning revolution, has been OBJ
tanned by the Nlcaraguan govern
ment authorities, according to dis
patch from Managua. The Chamorro
forces are said to be concentrating
at Chontales to begin the insurrection
at an opportune moment.
In agreement with John Il. Ramer,
the American minister, the dispatch
adds, President Martinez has sum-
moned Gen. Chamorro to ManaguR.
The government announcement con-
cerning the revolt says that Chamorro
has stored at Chontales 1000 rifles,

cannon and several million rounds
of ammunition. He Is reported to
have another cache of arms between
Granada and Nandaime. most of the
war material having been smuggled

5 Special Points
on Blanket Washing

Extremes of heat and cold
shrink wool so that it is i'm
portant to maintain a moderate
and even temperature in driving
blankets as in washing them.
In warm weather dry blankets
out of doors in a shady place
where they will not blow in the
wind. In cold or windy weather
dry them indoors. Do not
brush.
Rubbing: Blankets are given
a nap to make them soft and
fluffy and to give them warmth.
They should, therefore, never
be rubbed as this will remove
some of the nap and will also
felt and shrink them.
Ribbon bindings will not
pucker if stretched taut several
times while the blanket is dry
ing, and pressed lightly with a
warm iron after the blanket IS
dry.
Baby's knitted blankets and
afehans: For washing follow
directions for blankets. Never
hang knitted things but spread
them on a bath towel to dry,
and pull into shape-according
to measurements made before
the article was washed.
Blankets only partly wool
should be washed as if they
were all wool.

HoUv TO Wash
Your Blankets

A rich, live suds throughout
the entire process is essential
in the washing of blankets. To
obtain this, use 2 tablespoonfuls
of Lux to every gallon of water
used in the washing.
Dissolve LUX thoroughly in
very hot water, whiskine it into
a thick lather. Add cold water
until luke.warm. Put the
blanket into the rich suds, souse
it up and down and squeeze the
suds through the entire blanket.
If the suds die down, too
much water has been used in
cooling the solution, and more
dissolved LUX should be added
to restore the suds.
Take care to press the suds
through the very soiled spots,
but be sure never to rub the
blankets. Rinse in three or
m6re, if necessary, lukewarm
waters, of the same temperature
as the suds.

centering his attack mainly on the
very effective speech Of Clarence
barrow in the defense of Loeb and
Leopold, States Attorney Grove
made vigorous plea for hanging Of
the,two murderers of young Robert
Franks.
He sneered at Darrow's statement
that the two young men were bur-
dened with riches and that if they
had been poor they would never
even be considered for the moose.
He slammed Darrow's humanitarian
and denied that capital punishment
had been a failure in preventing
crimes.

tive of the merits of the case, clear
as to his method Of approach, while

UNITED
STATES into The
WILSON LEAGUE
Hughes Method Is Slow
But Pleases Bankers

WASHINGTON, Aug. ~ Calvin
Coolidge and Charles Evans Hughes
are easing the United States into the
League of Nations by slow stages.
Added proof of this tendency was
given here today by the announce
ment at the state department that
the United States will accept the in
vitation of the League of Nations to
send a representative to sit with the
disarmament commission to be ap-
pointed by the league assembly.
Got Woodrow's Scalp.
Woodrow Wilson signed an arms
control agreement at st. German af-
ter the world war, but il failed of
ratification by the senate. Because
of his espousal of the League of Ma
tions, Wilson was driven from pub
lie life and the next election saw the
republican party romping home with
the bacon.
Unknown to the people Of the Unit
ed States, ambassadors and consular
officials have been cooperating with
the League OF Nations and Mr..
Hughes believes the time is now ripe,
to walk openly into the league.
Hugh Gibson, minister to Switzer-
land, will be directed by secretary
Hughes to go to Geneva to represent
the United States on the disarmament
commission.

CAPITOL HEARS
COMMUNIST TALK.
BY Ben GITLOW

trayed Workers
Especial to the Daily worker.)

WASHINGTON, Aug. ~
Benjamin Gitlow, Communist
candidate for president of the
United States, made a smash
ing attack on the capitalist can
didates in a speech delivered
here Sunday night before a
good sized audience.
The meeting was scheduled
to be held in a hall controlled
by local branch of the Elks,
but thru the action of a United
States marshall, the owners of
the hall were intimidated so the
meeting had to be held else
where.
Hard Hears Gitlow Talk.
Several prominent Washington re-
porters were present, among them
William Hard, special writers for sew
eral capitalist dailies.
Gitlow exposed the anti-labor rec
ords of the leading capitalist candi-
dates, Coolidge, Dawes and Davis. He
then turned his heavy artillery on
Robert M. LaFollette.
Meeting Creates Stir.
'LaFollette is betraying the wage
earners of the United States into the
hands of the capitalists. He has
smashed the healthy movement for a
Farmer-Labor Party" said Gitlow.
He compared LaFollette to Macdonald
of England and Herriot of France,
who are all out to betray the work
ers.
The meeting created quite stir in
Washington.
William 2. Foster, candidate for
president, begins his next series of
meetings in Sioux City, Iowa, next
Friday. Full list of meetings of both

PATERSON SILK
STRIKE IN ITS
FIRST VICTORY
Twenty Bosses Sign Up
with Union
tsy The Federated Press,

PATERSON, N. j., Aug. ~
The Associated Silk Workers.
Union, which is conducting the
strike of 10000 silk workers
here, scored a preliminary VIC
tory when 20 bosses, employ
ing 500 weavers, signed agree
ments conceding substantially
all the unions demands.
The workers gain a 1871
wage increase, a 44-hour week,
with five eight-hour days and
four hours on Saturday; the
abolition of the three and four
loom system which overtaxes
the strength of the weaver and
creates unemployment; COM
jplete recognition of the union
and the right to organize.
Negotiations Progress.
Tho approximately $500 workers
were not affected by these settle
ments, indications point to further
victories. Negotiations in so plants
between employers and strike com
mittees have been progressing favor
ably. All settlements must be passed
on by the settlement board, which
sees that they measure up to the
unions standards.
Union officials declare that this
early victory justifies the decision
made last week to allow separate set
Elements. This policy, which splits
the more conciliatory bosses away
from the die-hard employers, was not
followed in the big 1913 strike.
Financial Aid Assured.
Strikers returned to work under
agreements will contribute part of their
wages to the strike fund. Additional
financial help is also assured from the
ribbon and hatband departments of
the Associated Silk Workers, which
have Endorsed the strike of the broad
silk weavers. Money is also raised at
motion picture showings and by con-
tributions from sympathizers. The
union declares 1t can carry on until
the Paterson Broadsilk Manufactur.
ers' Association, which is the strong
hold of the employers opposition,
comes to more reasonable frame of
mind.
/ Fred Hoelscher, secretary of the
union, has issued an authorized call
for mass picketing with the intention
Of bringing the picket force up to
1000 on Mondays and other critical
days. Further discipline is being
brought into the picketing by a new
set of union picket rules calling for
two leaders for each picket group.
The strike is now largely confined
to the weavers, but the union is ap-
pealing to all Wrappers, loom fixers,
twisters and other CRAFTSMEN to join
the fight.

nab INSPECTOR
ON 100000
MAIL ROBBERY
Fahy Called Brains of
Numerous HOldups

William F. Fahy, postoffice
Inspector in Chicago. has con-
fessed to completely in the ST.
100000 Rondout mail robbery,
said Chief Postal Inspector c.
n. Clarahan of New York to-
day.
Fahy was held yesterday in
one of the most sensational
stories of inside robbery yet
known. He is alleged to be the
brains" of a well chosen gang
of mail robbers whose tech
nique has been recognized in
many cases.
Examining Robberies.
For this reason every mail robbery
of the last three years in the midwest
is being closely studied by the corps
of inspectors who are at work on the
case for resemblances to the Rondout
raid, and the other major stunts
pulled up, it is believed, as links in
the long chain of carefully planned
and cleverly directed bandit exploits.
According to Clarahan, the evidence
against Fahy is complete and "abso-
Lutte" you may be sure that the
postoffice authorities would not have
arrested and charged Fahy unless
they knew they had the goods on
him." he said.
The Same Brain.
1--WE are convinced from evidence
we have obtained that the same brain
that planned the Rondout robbery
schemed the others in this part of the
country.
1--WE are convinced also that Fahy
framed Big Tim Murphy in the Union
Station robbery, and government in
spectors who are now en- route to
Leayenworth will try to get Murphy
to tell all he knows about the man
higher up"
Fahy came to the Chicago branch
of the postoffice with an excellent rec
ord from Philadelphia. He was de-
tailed here to go after mail robberies.
He did.
