demonstrated dramatically in 1882 when a marine

It's a lively household when
those children dash in from
school. Heels clatter. There is
pushing and showing and high
pitched laughter.
The young Darrigos-second
editions, most of them, Of Stef-
fano-have dark hair, swapping
black eyes, and wide smiles, re-
vealing white teeth.
They're all feeling good these
days, because they're no longer on
relief rolls.
That going on relief was a blow
to Steffano Darrigo. Because 1t
was hard for him, it was hard
for his wife, too.
For IS years Darrigo had had
his own fruit store. Once he even
owned three of them. All the
family helped in the store.
1--WE didn't work "a hours-We
worked &c." he says.
DUT that didn't help matters
Id when times became Dad. Two
months ago Darrigo lost his store.
He kept his truck and went into
the country, selling fruit. 1t didn't
pay. He lost the truck and there
was no way to feed the family
except to go on relief.
All that is changed now. The
father is working and so are the
older boys.
We're off the relief" the OAR
rigo youngsters eXclaim cheerily.
They think it's great.
Asked about the 100000 prize,
Mrs. Darrigo merely smiles and
shakes her head. She will talk,
. though, about her family. Raising
II isn't so hard, she says, if you
can buy the food.
1t takes lot for the Darrigos.
When they had the store there
was always plenty of fruit and
vegetables. Two dozen eggs it
would take sometimes for a single
meal-one apiece, and the older
ones wanted two. And 10 loaves
of bread in day.
A gallon Of olive oil each week.
Spaghetti-yeS, they all like spa

It's only a year or so
since the Darrigos heard of
the Millar will. Even now,
Mrs. Darrigo doesn't quite
understand it. Steffano, her
man, does, though, and has
explained it. Five hundred
thousand dollars for the
most babies. But that is a
lot of money.
To Mrs. Darrigo, Italian-b born, to
whom rearing children, keeping
them fed and clean and healthy
and off the streets is as natural
routine as night following day, it
must seem strange indeed to have
strangers coming to her home, ask

Nine of them born within the

Millars death. Another coming

Celeste, 6, was twin, though
the other baby died. There were
twins last year, too, but Mrs. OAR

prematurely, did not live.

Il More than 10000 bootleg
miners climbed back today to
back-breaking work in their coal
holes, hundreds of trucks loaded
with stolen fuel again rumbled
through the towns of this region
on their way to markets in East
ern cities. 1t was business as
usual" with the participants
APPARENTLY unconcerned that the
great anthracite companies have
just attempted to focus a strong
searchlight of publicity on the
unlawful industry.
Departing from traditional
policy in which press relations
have had little part, the great
companies, through the Anthra-
cite Institute of New York,
brought into the region 25 repre-
sentatives of metropolitan news
papers to view a problem which
the visitors found as hard to
crack" and almost as black as the
coal itself.
The reporters found sharp
conflict going on between the
property rights of the coal COM
panies and what the bootleggers
conceive to be their human rights
to make a living-and with the
latter set of rights undoubtedly
in control of the situation.
The problem today is essentially
the same as it has been for more
than three years, but it has
grown to such size that the COM
panleS now recognize it as a
threat to their existence. Some
observers see in it the seeds of
possible breakdown of law en-
forcement and perhaps of civil
war and bloodShed.
Law enforcement already has
broken down, but only with re-
spect to the refusal of the Of
ficlalS in three counties-Schuyl-
Kill, Northumberland and Column
bia-to defy local sentiment and
protect the properties OF the coal
companies. State authorities
have refused to intervene. at
least until the county officers
call for help.
COMPANY spokesman charge
~ the bootleggerS are stealing
company property other than coal,
and they point out the obvious
IacU that many bootleg trucks do
not carry license plates.
The visitors saw several in

directly beneath an old cemetery.
They saw boys under the legal age
working in illegitimate mines. and
they saw few women helping

erationS.
They were informed of the dan
gerouS development Of "barons" in
the bootleg lnduStry-men who
hire other men to mine the coal,
following the capitaliStic exam
pie by paying as low a wage as
possible. The company officers
declared that one of the "barons"
employs 80 miners and truckers
and is using the same general
business methods that he followed
as a. beer racketeer in prohibi-
ton days.

Cooking is a major interest with
Mrs. Darrigo and she has taught
all her girls to cook. She hopes
they will marry-when they find
the right men.
CTEFFANO agrees. "It doesn't
~ make no difference whether
they marry young or later" he
says, "but they won't take any but
the best. We won't have no buns
and loafers in this family"
He wants his boys to go in bust

washed before being put away but
should be placed where moths can
not reach them.
Good blankets are often ruined by
improper washing. Blankets should
never be rubbed and soap should
never be applied directly to them.
Water softened with large amounts
of Water-softener can be equally in
furious. If a Water-Softener is neceS-
Sary, boraX o. ammonia are usually
considered the safest. A mild soap
and warm but not hot water, usual
ly makes the best combination for
washing.
Hand washing, while more tedious
than machine washing, is less likely
to cause WoolenS to shrink and lose
their softness. After the blanket has
been washed in the first suds, the
water should be squeezed out and
the blanket washed in second tub
of Suds, the same temperature as
the first. Squeezing and swishing
the blankets through the water will
prove less injurious than rubbing or
twisting. They may then be put
through loosely set wringer with
as little stretching or twisting as
possible.
Rinse in several changes of luke
warm water should follow the wash
ing in the suds. After thorough rims
ing, the water should be squeezed
out without twisting and the

day is warm and sunny. They are

incidentally, is the fundamental
aim of this cooperative financing
system.
AS part of the explanation for
last weeks gain, Treasurer Q. II.
Junod points out that on May l the
bank granted all old borrowers the
privilege of meeting the interest
portion Of their installments and
deferring payments on the principal
from May /, 1885, until July IL,
1888 Formerly this privilege was
granted, under terms of the emer-
gency mortgage act of 1888, only to
those borrowers whose mortgages
were not otherwise in default.
Extend Payment
broadening this privilege to in
clude all borrowers whose loans
have been closed before May IL of
this year apparently has encouraged
many delinquent members to pay up
their accrued interest charges" Mr..
Junod concludes. "ThiS Land bank,
being cooperative institution which
has marketed bonds to private in
vestors collateraled by farm mort
cages, must rely, of course, upon
payments from it's stockholding
members to pay interest on these
bonds and retire them at maturity.
To preserve the integrity and SER
viceability of this system, it is Wit
ally necessary for borrowers to meet
their payments promptly when due.
BY meeting their installment faith
fully, borrowers not only protect the
equity in their farms, but shorten
the time when they will become
debt-free.
las an indication of the faith
which private investors hold in this
system, and the resulting benefits to
agriculture, new issue of 81 per

on the market was heavily over
subscribed, enabling the bank to
close new loans at the lowest rate
