MILLIONS OF MEN

British Miners, RailHaymen and

London. July 1T E--The execu- tive committee of the miners, rail- waymen, engineers, shipbuilders and transport workers unions met here today to consider a proposal for a great consolidation alliance, embrac- ing millions of workers.
 The promoters of the suggested alliance seek to bring about united action, both defensive and offensive, in industrial disputes.
 If the alliance is established 1t may lead to a national stoppage of work in the event the miners fail to secure the settlement at which they are aiming at present,
 The Daily Mail professes to see connection between the scheme and the efforts of the communists to cap- ture control of the British trade unions.
 The governments court of inquiry into the mining dispute opened this morning, but immediately adjourned until Monday in hope of getting the miners leaders to reconsider their decision not to participate in the proceedings
 Several mine leaders are in the city and w, c. Bridgeman, the me- diator, intends getting in touch, with them, with view to opening nego- tiatlons with the mine owners.

Of all, remove the bone somewhat

beginning at the upper righthand
corner. Cut close to the bone on
the upper portion, and when the
end of the bone is reached, turn
the knife gently and cut close to
the bone on the lower side Of it.
Remove the bone to one side Of
the platter. Then cut the two por-
tions of the steak left after re-
moving the bone, into narrow
slices. In doing this cut the upper
portion of the steak from the
outer circle of faC toward the
space from which the bone was
removed, and the lower portion
from the edge that touched the
bone toward the carver. The

If you have much moro rhubarb
than you can use, gather large
Quantities of it, stew, and strain as
for jelly. add any other fruit juices
preferred, mix with about half as
much sugar as liquid. boil a few
minutes and can. The addition of
orange and lemonjuice or pineapple
and lemon, makes a delicious drink
for hot weather, with water to suit
the taste. About two-thirds water
is a good proportion.
When Washing Sweaters.
When washing wool sweaters that
have bright -colored bands or con-
trasting collars and cuffs, do not
hang them up to dry. Instead, in
sert some layers of white paper
between the front and back of the
sweater and also in the sleeves, so
no part touches another. Lay it out
on a flat surface asd pull and pat
it into shape. The colors win not
run, If you dry it In this way.
New Golf Balls From Old.
Take a number of linen threads
about fifteen inches long, tie a
common pin to one end of them,
and the other end to the clothes
line in the basement. Whenever
you have golf balls which have lost
their wilderness, stick one on each
of these pins and leave the balls
suspended in the air. Then take
your little can Of golf-ball paint,
or ordinary white enamel, ana raise
1t up under the balls until they are
entirely immersed in the paint. Then
lower the can and hold 1t under TIE
ball for a moment or so until the
extra paint drops off. Do the same
with the next ball, until they are all
painted. They-are left hanging until
perfectly dry. and are most salts

Though the formal dinners Of
today do not permit carving at the
table, yet there are many informal
and family home dinners when it
should be the hosts desire and
pleasure to carve.
Steaks, beef roasts, and other
beef cuts are always favorites at
the dinner meal, and before tie
host can play his part In carving,
1t must be the responsibility of
the hostess to see that the cut OF
beef, whatever IL may be, is per-
fectly roasted or broiled. For there
IL nothing so unappetizing as an
overdone or underdone roast OF
beef or steak.
When carving a standing rib
roast of beef, place IL on the plat
on the ends of the rib bones and
the piece Of back bone which is
attached to them, having the thick
end of the roast to the left of the
carver. The roast in this position
shows the crisp fat on top with
the juicy meat below resting on
the ribs themselves. In carving
tneert the fork, which must have
q guard in a place convenient to
the carver for holding the meat
taut. Then insert the knife along
the back bone which runs width
wise Of the meat, and cut straight
down to the rib bones, thus ZOOS
erllg the meat from the back bone.
IL the whole roast is being
carved, turn the knife and cut as
close to the ribs as possible the
entire width of the roast. Cut thin
slices lengthwise of the roast down
through the crisp fat and tender
meat to the rib bone. Serve some

Silk ribbon should be pressed on

draw the velvet back and forth.
For drying the dresses, select q
shady spot If possible. Do not ex.
pose them to the direct rays OF the
sun. again let us say that all
these precautions are applicable
only to those fabrics whose colors
are doubtful.
Now for the ironing. Whether

or an ironing machine, simple

those with many frills and furbe.

adapted than others to ironing Ivy

dictates this. The dress which is

about the easiest to iron by ma.
chine. Usually full gathers, trim
mings, set-in vests, ETC., have to he
finished with q hand iron. Even it
you do have to touch up certain
parts by hand, you can save much
time by ironing most Of the dress
on the ironer. It Is obvious that
skill in using an ironer for the
more elaborate things can he
greatly developed through practice.
We believe, however, that the
secret Of using an ironer for wear
ing apparel il to adapt the various
articles to the ironer. If the house
keeper would only select styles
for her dresses--and especially the
Riddles frocks, because there are
more of those-with this
IN mind, she would get more
service from her ironer.
Certain methods OF procedure
must be followed in ironing differ

For example, in ironing children's
boomers, they must be sent
through on a diagonal until the
center is reached, and then re-
versed and the other leg sent
through in the same way. There
are very few directions which we
can give here. We only suggest
that the housekeeper actually study
the ratterns of her garments to De.
termine the best method OF ironing
them on her ironing board.
