How to Buy Your

In matters of clothes It Is often
good idea to have your supplies run
very low at times and to have to make
many purchases at the same time.
Thus If you find yourself in need Of

at time, and have saved your dress
allowance while you were wearing out
your old things. you may make your
purchases more wisely because you can
buy things that harmonic especially
we'll together
But in making purchases OF house
hold supplies, table linen. towels. sheets
and various sorts Of bedding this is
very bad plan. In these things there
are few, if any. variations in style.
And there Is really no necessity OF
having more money than necessary in
vested In them. Buy them as you need
them, few at time, to keep your
supplies up to the necessary level.
II you keep watch of the sales, you
can often buy advantageously-ha

a set of napkins next month, a pair Of
blankets in six months. and three sheets
for the single guestroom bed next year.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, (By MaiD
The strike of the American Full
Fashioned Hosiery workers is still on
at the Ajax, Federal and Emmett
mills, all IN Philadelphia. This is
going to be a long struggle and there
must be more aggression and more
mass pickcting. If the strikers are
to win the workers at the mills af~
fected, they will have to show the
scabs that they mean business by q
plentiful display Of pickets.
At the Ajax mill picketing is being
carried on so far from the gate tia,
the boss has no trouble in getting
scabs to come and go without realiz-
ing there is a strike on.
The capitalist owners of the mills
are engaging in another conference
so the workers can look for further
wage cuts. They intend to get to-
gether on national scale to take
away the decent standard Of living
that the workers are fighting SO hard
to keep. They will continue their at
tacks on the unions, continuing their
shrewd tactics as they have at the
Federal mill. where a republican gang
Judge has issued an injunction against
picketing.
Attempts have been made at sew
eral other plants here in Philadelphia
to force additional machines on the
workers and the workers must be
made to realize that only by organic
ing all the men and women in the
hosiery industry can they resist the
speed-up ard wage cuts.
The present hosiery strike is of
great importance as the workers have
strong union and have built up a
big membership. 1t behooves all the
workers to stand by the rank and
file in this struggle against the big
bosses of the hosiery mills.

Spoilers and spies are sent out with
almost every delivery order of size
to see that not a minute is lost in

every truck driver to be assigned a
