The strikers nun nering noar" ly 1900 will be taken bnck Monday, Company officials said there was not much work on hand but thnt efforts would be made to operate all departments.

 Louglas Company officials ex- pressed the belief that the ruling of tho national labor board. A vir. tuni order for them to re.hire the former employes--was Illegal, but at the same tlme they said In telegram to Senator Robert Y. Wag. ner, chairman of the board, that they would abide by the decision. They said they would hold conn pany records available for the To. bor boards representative who will supervise c vote by the loyal and rehircd employees on the question of ratifying or rejecting tho old union agreement and for the olec. ton of workers representatives for collective bargaining. More than dozen other shoe companies orig finally involved In tho Brockton soc strike have recognized tho brotherhood but the DouglnB Com. pany had wished to continue doing business with tho 40-yenr.old boot and shoe workers union.

New York, Nov 4.-(UP)--The stock market underwent another dreary session to-day. Trading dropped of and prices slowly sagged to losses of more than , points.
 Lack. of enthusiasm was the only feature. Overnight guesses had been that the spirited rally in the last hour Friday would carry over into to-day's seslson. But the guesses were wrong. Wall Street had showed tho market up yester. day on strength of rumors about an announcement from Washing. ton. When these rumors died out, trading enthusiasm died with them.
 The dollar continued easier to. day and the gold price advanced 10 cents more, bringing n further reduction in the dollar In gold val. ues. But these had little effect on tho market. Commodities wero steady to easier.

They're always simple, often
colorful, comfortable, and ex-
pensive or not, according to
your budget. They've been hard
to find up to this time, lie to
the shortage of dresses in the
market, but now the situation
is clearing up, so that you can
find plenty Of good ones.
Trimmings Simple
Be sure that you choose simple
dresses of this type, for any
thing fussy gets awfully tire
some after you've worn it a few
days.
Sheer woolens, jerseys, rough
silks, rough woolens, knitted
materials, all these are in the
roster of suitable fabrics.
High necklines, touches Of
white but much smaller touches
than we had last year, buttons
as trimming, color contrast,
smaller shoulders, but still in
teresting, and cuffs that are
different are the many ways OF
making these dresses distln-
guished looking.
Fitted by Scanning
We've photographed an excel
lent knock-about dress for all
daytime purposes. It's Of 81
wool jersey, with high and in
teresting neckline, but buttons
down the front, and intricate
scanning that fits it perfectly,
and acts as trimming, too.
It comes in beige, rust, tawny
gold, and a rather bright green.
The price is $22.75, and 1t is in
misses sizes. The beige is pho
tographed, and the accessories
are brown.
Good Fall COlors
One Of the best things about
this dress is that there's moth
ing bulky about the shoulders
or sleeves, so that it will go
under a coat perfectly when
colder weather comes. You can
wear it for driving, walking,
and general duty at the office
or at home.
Before the weather gets cold,
1t makes a good fall street dress,
worn without a coat. You can
even wear it under your heavy
sports coat for football games.
The rather vivid colors it comes
in will make splendid contrast
with the neutral colors of coats.
For fashion information, or
stores showing this dress, write
Miss Laville, enclosing self
addressed, stamped envelope, or
telephone.

Picked Him Up on a Dare

F1CkeQ f1Am OP UA d D@A0
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a girl of 18 and quite
popular with boys. I have al
ways prided myself on not fall"
ing for any particular boy. Re
Gently met one whom I care
for a great deal. Do you think
he will hold me cheaply in his
estimation because I just picked
him up on a dare? He Is
away now, and I haven't seen
him for three whole weeks, but
I have received a few cards
from him. Do you think he
would be likely to care, under
these circumstances? R. A.
When a girl picks man up,
either on a dare or because
she's made up her mind to dis
pense with the usual forman-
ties she takes just that chance.
It's a come-eaSy, go-eaSy ar
rangement, in which neither Of
the parties feels any sense Of
obligation.
It's up to you now, if you
wish to make a permanent
impression" to prove to the
young man that, in spite Of ap-
parent evidence to the con.
trary, you're not the type Of
girl any man can pick up. In
other words, you've got to
watch your step.

Some Squash Offerings
By The Merry Cook

You may call it by one name
or another and still have it an
equally delicious member of the
squash family. All the family
branches have certain traits in
common, such as the seeds in
the middle, whether they be
small as those in zuccini or
large as those in the time
honored pumpkin.
Even cucumbers and canta-
loupe may be said to belong to
the family.
Many Kinds
Sometimes we find that a
division of the varieties is made
somewhat according to the tex
ture of the flesh, and so we
hear of the winter and sum-
mer squash, the former includ-
ing the Hubbard and pumpkin
types and the latter being COM
posed of the more succulent
and less starchy varieties, such
as the crooked neck.
However, no matter what the
variety that we choose, we have
a vegetable that is delightful

Hints

To peel tomatoes dip them
into boiling water for a few
seconds. Quickly remove and
emerge into cold water. The
skin will be easily peeled with
out tearing the pulp.
A delicious pure canned
cream, for both table use and
for whipping, is now on the
market. This is a good emer-
gency shelf product, ready for
use when wanted. For camp
ing trips. too, it is handy to
carry along.
Soak combs in a teaspoon Of
ammonia to a quart of water.
Allow them to stay for ten min.
utes. The solution will make
the combs shine.
To keep moths away try the
following: Mix borax and pow
dered sugar and place in your
cloths closets and under furni-
ture cushions.
