Move to Bridge Gap

Discrimination

PITTSBURGH, Pa,
Aug, ia plan for
reorganization of the
western Pennsylvania
strike, amounting to a
new tactics, is before Central
Rank and File Strike Exec
utive boards of the National
Miners Union Pennsylvania
and Ohio-West Virginia districts,
and the sectional and local strike
committee. 1t was proposed to the
Central Rank and File Strike Com
nlittee meeting here Wednesday by
its Executive Committee which met
earlier in the day, and formulated
1t in general terms. The strike
committee heard the plan ex-
planned in an hour-long speech by
Frank Borich, national secretary of
the union, and spent its entire five
hour session, in discussion of the
plan. Out Of some twenty speakers,
only two opposed it.
The strike committee postponed
final decision on the new tactics I'M
til after the consent of the Ohio and
West Virginia strikers shall be Sc
cured at the joint meeting OF the
union for Pennsylvania and Ohio

Following this, the plan will come up
for final action at special meeting
Saturday at IL noon, Pittsburgh, of
the Central Rank and File Strike
Committee, and also on the same day
at the district convention Of the Ma
tional Miners Union in Ohio.
The new tactics are made necessary
by the facts in carefully tabulated
reports from the field which show
that at present the state and oper-

threats of eviction, and starvation.

the 10000 miners who went on strike
during the last week OF May ard
first weeks Of June.
The strike executive observes that
the scheme Of the companies now is
to drive deeper and deeper wedge
between the more militant forces
which remain on strike, and the
masses which have been forced back,
and that this policy, unless the
strategy Of the strike leadership is
now changed, viii resllt in an isola-
ton and blacklisting out OF the in

Such isolation must be prevented.

proposition Of the strike executive IS

Must you really go?" asked the mendacous
Anne.
An hour later Rogers also had left, and the
girl was alone. The visit had been a failure
She admitted that as she gazed with unseeing
eyes through the wide window toward the sea,
that leaped and thundered under the lash of
a northeast gale.
Anne turned away from the snowy curtain
with a little shudder. In like manner, Wayne
Rogers had shut her from his life He had

Not any train!" At first the girl failed
to realize the significance of this fact. And

her riches Wayne felt bewildered His
gifts to his mother had included some little
personal thing and check for as large an

If he had ventured to choose anything for
Anne, he would not have dared go beyond a
box Of candy or a book And the men Of
Anne's world bestowed on her tea caddes and
opera bags
Miss Craig excused herself and vanished up
stairs. The captain, having admired, slipped
away to the library, his going being encouraged
by pleading glance from Anne.
Then Anne, with that radiance still upon her,
sat down on her little stool in front OF the
fire, and eyed Wayne on the other side of the
hearth
You haven't given me anything for Christ

w found them in front of the fire, Anne
sitting on a stool at her uncle's feet.

after Rogers had taken chair by the hearth,
and she had chosen another with high carved
back-"When I was little girl we always
spent Christmas eve in this house by the
instead of in town
I'VE were all here then-mother and dad
and Aunt Anrie-and now there is no one but
Miss Craig and me, and Uncle David who lives
In his big house across the way where he has

She was talking nervously, her cheeks pale
but her eyes were shining. The captain glanced
at Rogers. The young surgeon was drinking
in her beauty But suddenly he frowned and
turned away his eyes,
1T was good Of you to take pity ON q
stranded wayfarer," he said, formally
That steaded Anne. Her nervousness fed
and she was at once the gracious impersonal
hostess.
The captain glowed with pride of her

Then Miss Craig came down and greeted
Wayne, and they all went into the dining
room together
They talked of many things, covering with
commonplaces the tenseness Of the situation.
But presently she began to talk about the little
tree.

his life had held so little.
Then she showed him her presents. There
was Damascus bowl of pierced brass quaint

sent to those who have no need for common

salad ingredients, think almost as much
OF color contrast as you do of flavor
The pale green of lettuce makes a
beautiful background for a dash of
red. bit Of golden yellow or orange
color. the sharp accent of deeper green.
II the body of your salad does not in
clude these colors, provide them through
the use of gsrnisheS Strips of
pimiento. radiSh roses, the red of
tomato rings or maraschino cherries:
the golden yellow and white of hard
cooked eggs or shreds of carrot: for
deeper green, a pickle garniSh or a
crisp branch Of fresh watercress.
BY taking thought 1t is easy to pro-
vide color contrast; with little care 1t
Is easy to arrange the salad attractively
and SO to present it at table in form
that is wholly delightful.

AT the Children's Table

month this amount should be increased
to one teaspoonful. Then gradually in
crease the amount until he is receiving
two teaSpoontuis twice day by the end
Of the fourth month. Your child should
receive this amount at least during the
first two years of his life, unless your
doctor advises to the contrary.
Some mothers also have asked me for
the best method Of giving cod liver oil.
I have found that a large medicine
dropper-kept steriliZed. of course-is
excellent for giving the required amount
to the small baby. A little later you
can begin to use small spoon. In
either case, put the oil as far back on
babys tongue as possible and gently
hold his mouth open until the oil dis
appears.
The best time to give this part of the
baby's daily food is in the morning
when he is undressed for the bath, and
at night when he is undressed for bed
This plan eliminates soiled clothing.
Follow the oil with orange or tomato
juice in each instance. This is better
than combining the two.
Another point to keep in mind when
giving cod liver oil to the tiny baby is
TO control your own facial expression.
Keep it always pleasant and he will
soon take his cue from you.

Even beginning with little children

behavior, but the why of behavior, and
that pleasant things naturally follow
pleasant people. The parent Of long
ago may have said. You must do this

parent who is wise lives up to the
modern child's exactions by treating
every problem frankly, patiently, good

the children are asked TO do, be made
clear.

FOOD AND THRIFT IN THE HOME
Ready Made Food
Makes Task Easy
BY SALLY MONROE.

THE stores are full of all sorts Of
things to make the housekeeper's
task Of feeding her family wisely and
well an easier one.
1t really pays just to go looking about
at new ideas, and, of course, it is to the
advantage of the grocer to show you
and tell you about all his new tricks,
because selling them means money in
his pockets. So don't hesitate to look
and ask questions.
For one thing, attractive at this time
of year are the big cake layers that
can be bought wrapped in wax paper
ready to be used for shortcakes. All
they need is the addition of cut up
peaches with sugar and with or without
whipped cream to be ready to eat.
The other end of the meal is tomato
Juice cocktail that can be chilled in its
bottle or can-in fact, can be kept
chilled on fee to be used whenever you
want it-and then opened ready to
serve.
The fact that things are out OF sea-
son now is no reason we can't have
them if we will. There is delicious
canned applesauce to use in Summer
and canned cranberry sauce to serve
with turkey or meat whether fresh
cranberries are In season or not. And
then there Is canned pumpkin to make
delicious pies ct any season.
Canned meats, too. are good enough
now for anybody. There has been a
great improvement in their flavor and
appearance and they can be quite ade-
quately served in place of fresh meat
If necessary.
AS for salad dressing, who makes 1t
any more? Does anybody? It's so uni
formly good when you buy it, so much
better than most people can make
well, that most people don't make It.
Mayonnaise, Russian, Thousand Island.
French and other kinds can be bought
ready to use.
Allied to salad dressings are the de-
licious sandwich spreads that come in
both tin and glass, ready to spread over
buttered bread for sandwiches. There
are so many kinds that you can make
delicious assortment without using
anything else, though the use Of fresh
lettuce improves such an assortment
tremendously. One Of the meat spreads
on one slice of bread, for instance, a
leaf Of crisp lettuce, a spoonful of may
onnaise and the top of the sandwich
and you've something pretty good.

these ingredients into a large salad
bowl and toss them lightly together (do
not stir. but toss with a fork. Pour
over the mixture a large cupful of
French dressing and let the whole
mixture marinate absorb the dress

tossing 1t up from the bottom. When
the salad Is ready to be served, tuck
frills Of large crisp lettuce leaves around
the edge Of the salad and garnish the
mixture attractively. Mrs. Held's hand
some garnishing Is ring of mayor

middle, some sliced hardboiled egg,
reddish rosettes and a dash Of papriEa.
This salad, with sliced cold meat,
buttered rolls and cheese balls, makes

plate, appropriate for the informal
feast. AS dessert, apple glace is de-

The ideal Summer breakfast might
include fresh berries, fresh sliced
peaches or bananas served with
shredded wheat, or one of the dry
breakfast foods, little sugar and me-
dunn thick cream. This to be followed

There is great deal of nouriShment
in bacon, yet it is light and almost I'M

suggested, although toasted, are less hot
and heavy than toasted bread, and
honey is lighter than either jam or
marmalade.
Any and all of the fruits are good as
a beginning for the Summer breakfast.
A bowl Of half milk and half cream,
