Scaling Fish - Dipping fish in
boiling water will aid in scaling
them.
Brighter Pudding - Two tea
spoonfuls of marmalade stirred
into ground rice pudding just
before it is cooked will give it
the delightful favour of fresh
orange, without the bother of
grating peel. The Riddles will love
it.
Cleaning Silverware - When
your silverware becomes tar
nished, place it in an aluminium
saucepan and cover with hot wa
ter in which potatoes have been
boiled. Leave for an hour, then
rinse and it will look like new,
without the usual cleaning.
Washing Flannels - Next time
you are washing fiannels or wool
ems put about a taspoonful of
olive oil in the water. 1t will keep
them beautifully soft.
For Scratched Furniture --
Furniture scratches may be hid
den by painting with iodine and
t h en- rubbing with furniture
polish.
To Keep Icing on Cake Sift
a little flour over the top of the
cake before icing it and the icing
will not run off.
A Curtain Tip - Easement cur
tains will hang in even folds il.
small bags of silver sand are
sewn to the corners of the lower
edge hens. The sand adds just
enough weight to the curtains to
prevent them rolling at the edges
and these weights" can be
washed with the curtains.
Double Duty for Soap - When
I buy toilet soap I put it away
among the sheets and pillow
cases, to which it gives an at
tractive fresh fragrance and, of
course, the soap is all the better
for keeping.
A Warm Meal-Instead of put
ting food into the oven to keep
hot for late-comers, cover it close
ly with a tin or basin, and set it
over a saucepan of hot water. It
will keep hot without drying.

to the floor, crumpled over on his
side and remained there, knocked
out for the first time.
That was because-four rounds of
the job that took longer than was
expected-there was fighting
chance that the inevitable would
never arrive. Braddock, shrewd,
cool, determined, gambling on
happy ending before tired legs and
a strong young opponent could do
their work, won three of those first
four rounds. They were the first,
second and fourth. He was fight
ing too straight up, leading too
much against the best counter
puncher of the day, but there he
was-standing up, leading and win
ming.
When a man does that you must
grant him some claim to good for
tune even though you also note tell
tale quivers in muscle-tensed legs.
That is what the crowd was doing.
The new champion was money ia
vorite in his home town but the
early cheers were for the underdog.
Braddock dropped Louis with a
short right to the chin towards the
end of the first round. Louis was
up without a count but there were
cheers even in the press row at this
not too easily foreseen development.
The fact that Braddock's eye had
been cut by a furry of blows when
they tangled on the ropes passed
unnoticed.
So also for the next four rounds
when Louis backed up, fought eau

by combing the lists for ineligibles.

The Mail Must Go Through

z EDERAL warrants were issued
l. at Cleveland for six c. I. O.
leaders in the strike at Youngs-
town and Warren, charging them
with preventing delivery of the
United States mails to loyal en-
ployees of the steel company plants
there. Their names were not re-
vealed.
The order for the obtaining of the
warrant was given by Attorney-Gen-
eral Homer s. Cummings after he
had looked over testimony at the
senate post Office committees hear
ing. Charges have been made that
c. /. o. leaders were censoring the
mail in Ohio cities and refusing to
permit delivery of parcel post pack
ages containing food, clothing and
other irregular" articles for work
ers in the plants.
"All mail that the post office de-
partment sees fit to attempt to
deliver must be delivered" said
Cummings. This did not conflict
with the post office departments
refusal to deliver packages to the
plants, but sought to prosecute per-
sons who would prevent the delivery
of mail the department had okayed.

Steel Furnaces Glow AGAIN

ID LANTS of the independent steel
corporations in Pennsylvania and
Ohio were once more operating as
state troopers kept the peace. VIC
lence among strikers, workers and
police dwindled to handful Of hand
to hand fights in which injuries were
comparatively few.
With Gov. George H. Earle hav-
ing lifted martial law in john
town, Pa, it was estimated that
nearly half the $4,000 workers OF
the Bethlehem Steel corporation's
great Cambria plant were back on
the job.
1t was apparent that the real
grip of the strike had been broken.
Mayor Daniel Shields declared it
was all over, but there were still
about $50 pickets on hand. The day
before the plant re-opened the c. l.
O., in a last-rninute attempt to save
it's cause, promised a mass meet
ing near Johnstown of $4,000 min
ers who would then aid the steel
strikers in keeping the plants closed.
Only about $500 showed up, and
after listening to speeches by union
leaders they dispersed peaceably.
Plants of the Republic Steel cor
poration and Youngstown Sheet &
Tube company in Ohio's Mahoning
valley, where half of the total num-
bers of state militiamen were pro-
tecting the public peace, again were
operating. Steel plants in Chicago
were preparing to reopen. Still none
of the independent steel corpora
tons had signed contracts with c.
I. O. unions. Their refusal to sign
had been the sole issue of the
strikes.

Mediation Board Gives Up

IT HE mediation board of three,
named by Secretary of Labor
Perkins to sit in Cleveland and at
tempt to negotiate a settlement in
the steel strike, gave up in despair.
It's chairman, Charles P. Taft of
Cincinnati, and the other two men,
bers, Lloyd Garrison, former pres
ident of the national labor relations
board, and Edward F. McGrady,
Notwithstanding assistant of Nine.
Perkins, were unable even to per-
suade Tom Girdler, Eugene Grace
and other steel officials to sit around
a conference table at which union
leaders were present. The board
explained its failure, ''The only hope
of settlement lies in such a meet
ing" r
In criticizing the companies for
their stand the board said, Nothing
can be made clearer today than
that management and organized Ia
Dor, when it really represents the
wishes of the men, have got to
learn how to live together, to reach
agreements and to abide by them
when made"
Steel officials handed Taft a writ
ten resume of their stand, that they
would not make any agreement with
Lewis irresponsible" C. I. o. They
admitted that the Wagner act might
force them to negotiate with the
union, but declared another law pro-
vides that no one need make a con-
tract he doesn't want to make.
Governor Davey of Ohio revealed
that after the board had given up,
Secretary Perkins telephoned to ask
him to subpoena steel chiefs to
the state capital, Columbus, and
keep them there until they sign
an agreement" Meanwhile s a e
troops would keep the mills closed,
Nine. Perkins suggested. Governor
Davey refused, saying: ss''
Secretary Perkins suggestion
would be. the exercise Of the most
autocratic and dictatorial power ev-
er attempted. In private life it would
be, kidnapping. sa &

BUDGET Trouble. French

=
ID UDGET trouble Is bothering
ID France in a serious way; in
fact it led to the resignation Of
Premier Leon Blum and his Peo-
pies Front government, to be sue
ceeded by Camille Chautemps. One
of Chautemps' first acts was to APP
point Georges Bonnet, ambassador
to the United States, as minister of
finance, with orders to begin
attempts to balance the budget.
Bonnet's first moves were to close
the stock exchange and suspend for
eign exchange and commercial pay
ments pending decision on whether
or not he would be made an eco
nomic dictator temporarily.
France, like the United States,
operates on two budgets-ordinary
and extraordinary. Frances deficit
in her ordinary budget, as estimat-
ed by retiring Finance Minister VIM
cent Auriol, is about 5000, 900, 900,
and the deficit in her extraordinary
budget approximately $1,000, 000,-
600. Rene Brunei, Bonnet's under
secretary, said they could be bal
anced in three years.
Most of the expenditures from the
extraordinary budget are for de-
tense.

BUDGET trouble, Y. S.

IT REASURY figures indicated that
L the end of the fiscal year would
find the Presidents economy pro-
gram missing its mark by about
5000, OOO, 900. Last April he warned
all departments that expenditures
would have to be drastically cut,
and revised his budget to 1926, 000,-
900 less than the forecast in JAN
uary. His revised budget estimated
that expenditures from July /, 1886,
to June "a, 1887, would be $7,781,-
OO0, 1000; actually they turned out to
be 1888, 100000, or 100000, 900
above the estimate. It was believed
that, at that rate, there would be
a difference of about 5000, 900, 600
in the budget and actual spending
for the entire fiscal year.

Hartford. Conn.,. Feb. IT. CUP)-A liquor permit should not be granted any person subject to undesirable influence, or who intends to operate place in name only for the benefit of a person found legally unsuitable, the supreme court ruled today. The decision was written by Associate Justice Allyn l.. Brown in denying the appeal of Mrs. Catherine Wilks, Bridgeport, from the refusal of the liquor control commission to grant her a restaurant permit.
 A state referees report showed Mrs. Wilks had conducted n res taurant for five years and during 1883, 1884, and 1885, under a permit granted by the commission late in 1885, her husband applied for per init in his name and it was denied after 1t was disclosed he had been convicted of liquor law violations six times between Nov. 25, 1920, and April 2, 1880. Mrs. Wlks then made application for a permit in her own name and on January 8. 1936. 1t was refused because of her being an un- suitable person in view of the repu- tation of her husband employc."

 "The board has, therefore. focused its efforts upon the introduction or reintroduction of the employer and his employees so that through the creation of better relationships be- twec, them, subsequent differences and problems might be settled by cooperative and organized action. This interpretation of the boards task has le1 to more frequent use Of mediation and conciliation rather than arbitration as a method of procedure" During 1886. the board said, 1t interyened in g industrial disputes involving 9,474 employees. Twcnty-six of these cases have been satisfactorily adjusted" And, the report went on, Tt was neces- cry In only four instances to arbi- trate the issue under dispute. &
 Failure to settle the six disputes remaining. the board said, appears to be fundamentally the same in ( ch instance. Briefly, 1t was the unwillingness of one side or the othc. to enter negotiations with the other side in a spirit of conciliation and compromise for the purpose of s sking a fair and equitable settle ment through amicable discussion.
