Removing Shine From Serge
Suits.-Some of the shine can be
taken off blue serge suits and
coats by sponging lightly with vim
egar before pressing.
Wash Light Bulbs.-For better
light-don't forget to wash the
dust off electric light bulbs and
fixtures occasionally.
To Avoid Burns.-It is annoying
as well as painful to burn your
fingers when removing the lid
from hot pan. To avoid this
keep a spring clothes peg on the
stove and use this as a clip for
picking up the lids.
A Tasty Salad.-Open a jar of
beet pickles and add them to plain
lemon gelatin. Topped with may
onnaise or salad dressing, this
makes a tasty salad Chopped
celery or cabbage may also be
added.
Spread for Hot Breads.-Some
honey mixed with bit of CHINA
mon is a good topping for hot

ing.

Eagle Favored Salt Beef

While washing her clothes at the
side of a river in Amassia, South
Antolia, a woman was Mortified to
see her month-old baby snatched
from the river bank by an eagle,
which carried the child to a neigh
boring hill. Hearing the mothers
screams villagers climbed the hill
and found the tot unharmed. Ap-
parently the huge bird had spared
the child's life because it preferred
a favorite Turkish delicacy, salt
beef with a generous dash of garlic,
which the mother had wrapped in
the little ones clothing.

Unions Back Child
Labor Amendment

Although the question is OBJ
viously national in nature, local
laborites are trudging hand-in-
hand with labor throughout the
country in the continent-wide ef
fort to secure ratification of the
child labor amendment.
Given a setback by the action
of the Senate branch of the Texas
legislature in refusing approval of
the proposed legislation, union
men of every type are either ac-
lively assisting or watching the
fight over the measure now being
waged in the New York house of
representatives.
With nine more States to go"
as their battle-cry, proponents of
the amendment have the prac-
tically solid support of all union
labor, which was active in the
scheme long before it was placed
before the States by a Republican
Congress under Coolidge in 1924.

} FACE ARREST
IN Staying

HACKENSACK, N. j., Feb. 25
G.N.SO.-A new trial stretched
out today in the search for the
last owner of the revolver which
was used to kill Norman Redwood,
New York labor leader.
Police announced that two mum.
bers previously deciphered from
the weapon and traced to Demar-
est, N. j., and Wewoka, Okla, had
been incorrect, and that a third
and correct number - 40O-559-
had been supplied by the United
States Bureau of Investigation at
Washington. The fact that the
number had been filed off made it
difficult to determine what it had
been, and a number of possible
ties were therefore explored.
Convinced they are now on the
right trail, police have asked the
manufacturer of the weapon to
check their records so that a new
search can be started.
Even before this is completed.
police said today, at least three
arrests are expected-probably
within the next "a hours.
The men who were sought we're
described as of the "hired killer
type" and their identity was said
to have been discovered by three
New Jersey detectives who posed
as "sandhogs" to go among other
workmen in a subway excavation
in New York city.

Strikers and Guards
Battle at Plane Plant

SANTA MONICA, Cal, Feb. 25.
Fighting broke out here today be-
tween company guards and sit
down strikers in the huge Douglas
Aircraft Company's plant.
The guards emerged victorious
after forcing the strikers out Of
the engineering department of the
plant after what they termed
some scuffling."
The trouble started when
handful of the 300 sit-downers
broke through the door into the
engineering department. where
men had worked yesterday in de-
fiance of the strike.
Twelve guards rushed in from
the outside and struggled with the
strikers, forcing them back into
the quarters they have occupied
for two days and two nights. No
arrests were made.
It was the first row between
officers and the strikers since the
big plant closed down, tieing up
$25,000,000 worth of orders and
throwing $500 men out of work.
Meanwhile the company was ex-
pected to go to court today after
the strikers decided to ignore
company order that they evacuate.
At the same time company off
cials were invited to a peace con-
ference" set by strike leaders for
late today.
Whether Donald D. Douglas,
young inventive genius who heads
the corporation, would accept the
invitation extended by DR.. Towne
Nylander, regional head of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board,
was uncertain.
Meanwhile the American Fed
Grafton of Labor unions at the
plant appeared to have broken
definitely with the United Auto
mobile Workers Union, whose
aircraft division local is sponsor
ing the strike, claiming discrimi-
nation against its members.

Eighty striking workers we're

Metallurgical plant at North Chi
cago where they have been for
more than week.
The situation in Detroit was
worse. Like a virulent disease the
sit-down strike fever kept spread
ing through the city.
Strikes Still Flare
The Chrysler settlement appar-
emily had no effect and in fact, 1t
was felt that the company an
nouncement would lead merely to
similar demands being laid before
Henry Ford by the swiftly growing
Committee for Industrial Organi-
zation headed by John L. Lewis.
And strikes in other quarters
continued to flare, AS soon as one
was settled another or two would
start. Twenty were in progress
today.
At Groton, Conn, State troopers
maintained peace in the picket
lines around the plant of the Elec-
trio Boat Works. While Philip Van
Gelder, C. 1. o. organizer, claimed
key men in every department had
joined the walk-out, and that less
than 300 were at work, the COM
pany held that virtually the en-
tire force of 1900 were unsympa-
thetic with the strike and had re-
turned to their benches.
