WOMEN WAL K
OUT At SHIRT
FACTORY
Police Told to Protect Union
Workers Who Quit After
Third Cut in Pay

ALEXANDRIA, Va, July 10.
With the support of Mayor E. c.
Davidson and public opinion in
Alexandria, 80 of the 105 women
employees Of the Century Manu-
featuring Company, a shirt COM
pany here, went on strike today,
tying up all operations in the
plant.
There was no violence, the only
disturbance coming when two
non-union employees sought to
enter the plant. The strikers at
tempted to hold the two back, but
when police were called, they
were allowed to enter.
Spokesman for the strikers,
who only last night were enrolled
in the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers Union following an or
ganization meeting attended by
two union organizers from Balti-
more, said they were demanding
a 40-hour week which, they said,
would bring them about $12 a
week. They work on piece work.
Cite Three Pay Cuts
The strikers asserted that their
action was prompted following an
nouncement by company officials
of the third pay cut since the NRA
was ruled unconstitutional. They
contend they cannot make more
than $40 a week under present
conditions, and that they have to
work about 40 hours a week to
make that much ;: ..... ..
James Ballard, manager of the
company, said he is awaiting word
from the owner of the establish
ment, Morris Weinman, of Balti.

company will do.

Mayor Davidson, of Alexandria
has promised to participate in it
and lend it his full support.
Mayor Backs Strike
Mayor Davidson has taken a
definite stand on the side of the
strikers, saying the plant should
be closed if it could not maintain
decent" wage scales, and adding:
"Any institution that is not
willing to pay decent wages has
no place in Alexandria and the
sooner they leave the better"
He instructed the police to pro.

CHINESE SEES.
RUIN IN j. 8.
SILVER BOOM
Boost in Price Of Metal
Has Increased Woes of
His Nation, He Says

A burly, bespectacled Chinese
financier, nattily attired in q
summer ensemble Of white flan'
nels and blue coat, sat in the ele.
gantly fitted drawing room Of the
Chinese Embassy today and la.
mented the economic plight Of
his native land.
His utterances are not tainted
with rabble-rouSing bias. For
Tao-yu Clarence Sun, educated in
Central High School in Washing,
ton, and later at Cornell Univer-
sity. is no politician, but, in his
words, "just a banker"
Mr.. Sun made it clear he was
speaking as an individual and not
as a representative Of the Chinese
government or of the Chinese En-
baSSy.
Blames u. s. Program
In short, he blames the silver
purchase program launched by
the United States Government for
the financial debacle evident to-
day, he says, in every section Of
China.
Amid a score of appointments,
most of which were purely so
cial, Mr.. Sun graciously sub
mitted to an interview. Only the
weather, it seems, annoyed him.
A willing white collar and much
forehead-bruShing gave evidence
of his physical discontinue.
Mr.. Sun lacks the nebulous
mumbo- Jumbo generally associ-
ated with economic explanations.
He is clear and concise. He be-
lieves as a financier that there
is an unacceptable relationship be-
tween commodity prices and cur
rency values. When currency
prices are high commodity values
are low, Mr.. Sun says.
This is exactly the situation
in China today, Mr.. Sun, who is
SO, continued. When. in 1884,
the United States Government
began buying silver on the open
market the price of the white
metal jumped with amazing
rapidity.
It was the thought Of economic
experts that this procedure
would give the Chinese additional
purchasing power. The price of
silver in China, Mr.. Sun said, has
advanced by a little more than
100 per cent.
Theory Fails to Work
Unfortunately, the theory did
not work out in practice, Mr.. Sun
explained. Chinese farmers today
are getting only one half the
price for their commodities they
did three years ago. The farmers
in turn are not able to purchase
products manufactured in the
cities. Thus, Mr.. Sun added, there
has been an economic slump such
as China has seldom witnessed.
What has been the effect on
the United States arkets
through the raising of the price
of silver?
DR.. Sun does not answer that
question. He tells you to look
for yourself.
Just the reverse happened, the
Commerce Department revealed
today. In September, 1888, ex-
ports to China amounted in dol
lars to $4,671,O39 In September,
1934-just one year later-exports
to China dropped to $3,970,943.
These figures. it seems, bolster
Mr.. Suns arguments in favor of
abolishing the raising of silver
prices, at least as far as our rela-
tions with China are concerned.
The United States, Mr.. Sun said,
cannot raise the price of the
white metal without affecting the
worlds silver markets. It is, there
fore, up to this country to deter
mine the future of the economic
status of China and the countries
dependent on her for imports.

But Danny's heart was light, for on

knew that Redtail was watching with

THE COUNTY
FAIR
BY ANNE CAMPBELL

THE apple that hung on the gnarled
4 brown bough
And dreamed of perfection the sum-
mer through,
Is wearing a blue satin ribbon now;
Our Grandfather's peaches won first
prize, too.
The biggest of pumpkins, the grandest
squash
Have taken their place in the rustic
square;
And Granddad may tease and declare
it's bosh,
But Grandmother's jam won first
prize at the fair.
There are quilts with patterns so In
tricate,
You would scarcely believe wom-
ans hands
Could fashion a comforter delicate
AS the varied tints of rainbow's
bands.
There's embroidery fine as a cobweb
spun
On rainy day in spiders lair;
And many a task that was bravely
done
Last year is now at the county fair.
The pickles and pies and the cakes
and jell,
Examples of home and the kindly
art
or women who, doing a small thing
well,
Learn to tackle life with joyous
heart!
And deeper than you and I see dis
played
Goes the evidence of their loving
The symbols of beauty in homes
they've made
Are plainly in view at the county
fair.

DANNY'S HOMECOMING

VXIHEN the first Jolly Sunbeams
wv came stealing through the Green
Forest, Danny Meadow Mouse began
to be uneasy. He was thoroughly rest
ed and the dangers of the dreadful
night were already forgotten. Per-
haps I should not say that they were
forgotten, for, of course, that isn't
quite true. But Danny had quite put
them out of his mind. That is the
way with the little people of the Green
Forest and the Green Meadows. Dan
gers that are past are not worth think
ing about. They must keep their minds
clear for possible dangers to come.
So Danny's thoughts were not Of what
he had been through, but were wholly
Of getting home.
He thanked his cousin, Whitefoot,
for all the latter had done for him and
1hen climbed out of the hollow stump
and once more started for the Green
Meadows and home. AS long as he
was in the Green Forest he was anx-
ious. He didn't feel at home there.
He didn't know what to expect. He
imagined all sorts of dangers. But the
instant he reached the edge of the
Green Meadows his heart became light.

When making the next quilt watch
the seams, one seam sewed wrong
ruins the whole block. Here are a
few suggestions for making perfect
quilts. Press all material before
cutting. Use blotting paper for pat
terms, thus avoiding pinning. Cut each
piece exactly like pattern. Match
all edges perfectly when sewing to-
gether. Lay the patches and blocks
out for best color combinations be-

Mediums of Exchange
in Periods of History

Cattle were the first and most
popular commodities of exchange,
and still remain so in many parts
Of Africa and less civilized regions.
Grain and sheep, salt and shells were
all money" in early times. Marco
Polo, the great world traveller, noted
that the Chinese monarch had
''papyro or leather imprinted" money
in all his provinces, equally accept
able to all subjects as exchange.
Soon metals became the most con-
venient form of exchange. But cop
per bricks were used by the people
who built the pyramids, while rings
of copper and metal were preferred
by the later Celts. "Ring money"
became quite common in Europe.
Later, paper money was used, but
at first the paper was nothing more
than "receipt" for the metal none
which the bankers lent to one an
other. The receipt" of paper money
would pass from hand to hand for
the metal money which 1t repre-
scented. 1t was soon discovered that
this paper receipt" was easier to
carry around and handle and COM
pute with than any more solid form
of money.
The first issue of paper money in
America was in Massachusetts in
1890. In the next 80 years con-
tinental paper money had come into
general use. But this led to extrav-
agance, and quick depreciation, so

TAPIocA ICE CREAM

NOW that the mechanical refriger-
L Y ator has become such an every
day affair, we are learning new ways
of economy in foods as well as energy.
The use of quick cooking tapioca has
become common in the preparation of
soups, omelets, berry pies and meat
loaves, but now comes the thrilling
discovery of what this versatile ingre-
diet can do for ice cream. With the
use of tapioca, velvety smooth
cream can be made without the bother
of cranking the freezer. Yet no more
cream is required than for the mix
ture which must be stirred.
Simply prepare the mixture, set the
control for freezing desserts and for
get all about 1t until the freezing Is
complete. For those who have no me-
chanical refrigerator, turn the mix
ture into mold, pack in ice and salt
and let stand for four or five hours.
Formerly recipes of the mousse
type, with large proportion of cream
have had to be used in order to get
satisfactory results in the texture,
without stirring. All cream desserts
are too rich as well as costly to serve
for the average housewife, also are
too rich for the children and adults
after a heavy dinner.
Chocolate Ice Cream.
Take two squares of unsweetened
chocolate cut into pieces, add to two
cupfuls of milk in a double boiler and
heat. When the chocolate is melted
beat with a rotary beaten until well
blended. add three tablespoonfuls Of
Quick-cooking tapioca. one-fourth tea
spoonful of salt and cook until clear
and thickened, stirring frequently.
Add one-half cupful of sugar and four
tablespoonfuls Of light corn sirup;
cook until all are well blended, then
cool. Strain the mixture by stirring,
not rubbing through fine sieve. Chill.
Add two tablespoonfuls of sugar to
two beaten egg whites and fold into
the mixture. Add one cupful of cream
whipped and two teaspoonfuls Of
vanilla. Tnrn into the freezing tray
and freeze as rapidly as possible.
Three to four hours are, required.
Lacking the refrigerator, pack in Ice
and salt for several hours.
