Rinse with the shower and do not wring. Dry on a | hanger, over a towel. Keep the dirt loosened and culti- vated around houseplants. Put them into tub for a shower bath about once a week and feed them a little fertilizer occasionally. To remove creases from clothing, hang them in the bathroonr and fill the tub with steaming water. Brush thoroughly before and after stean;- ing. There are all sorts of inexpensive pasteboard cupboards on the market now for shoes, stockings, hats and lingerie, that come in pretty colors and a variety of sizes. Any closet can be made far more convenient by the use of one or two. If you pack your clothes with tis- sue paper filling out the shoulders you will find that they are ready for wear without pressing upon ar- rival, [ A deliciously cool salad can be made by using chopped eucumbers and grated pineapple in a tomato gelatine salad. Serve chilled, on lettuce, with mayonnaise. You can make any wall paper washable by going over it first with sizing and then using a clear shel- lac. This is advisable for the bath- room, kitchen and children's room.

Driving his father's truck at the time, July 28th, and without pos- sessing a driver's license, young Nathanson ran down Mrs. F. Lang, 192 Willow avenue, and one of two children accompanying her, when they stepped off a street car at Queen and Dufferin streets. The victim, still unable to walk, ap- peared in court to testify against the accused, who was held on a charge of criminal negligence. Brakes on the truck were found to be practically useless, while his father declared he did not know the son had the truck out. ONE GOOD MEA, PRICE 5 CENTS . Montreal. Sept. 12. -- A good meal for five cents; not even in pre-war days could this have been imagined. Nevertheless, though it may seem unbelievable, a cafeteria has opened here where a fuli meal was served at this price. It was Ir the Plateau Academy, and Chair- man Victor Dore, of the Catholic School Corporation, gave the first order. He was followed by a few officials and by the bulk or the students of the 7th and Sth grades. Soup, sandwiches, maa! nie and coffee figured on the bill of fare.

TORONTO NO ONE BLAMED IN CANAL TRAGEDY Careful Inspection Urged in Future--No Reason for Mishap St. Catharines, Sept. 12--Coroner John Herod's jury, which at Thorold this afternoon heard evidence with reference to the Welland Ship Canal disaster of August 1, in which ten workmen employed erecti a steel gate at Lock 6, ober Shy their lives, failed to find any reason for blaming any person for the disaster, but recommended that, in all opera- tions of a similar nature, the field of operations be cleared of all men not essential to the work in hand and that a more thorough inspection of cranes and machinery handling weights be used. Nothing Sensational Thorold Municipal Hall, where the inquest was held, was crowded with interested spectators, who were ex- pecting sensational developments, but which failed to materialize. George Ericksson did not repeat the criti- cisms which he made at the first hearing over a month ago of the op- eration of the falling crane by Wil- liam Merkley. Crown Attorney T. D. Cowper, of Welland, acted for the Crown; H. H. Collier, K.C,, St. Cath- arines, for the Steel Gates Company, Limited; A. L. Brooks, of Welland for the Canadian Government, and J. L. Cohen, Toronto, for a number of the families affected. George Ericksson, who is in charge of the erection of the 450-ton steel gates on the Welland Ship Canal, was called at the first witness. He iden- tified a plane of the Lock 6 gate, and said he was standing between Nos. 5 and 7 cranes, at the top of the wall. No. § was made stationary, The 19- ton steel pole or post was between the two cranes and was attached to the two cranes to be lowered into the lock. No. 7 crane, in charge of Wil- liam Merkley, was letting the end of the pole down. Ericksson himself was giving the signals by hand. The crane operator, Ericksson said, had to watch for signals and also operate his crane. Crane No. 7 would carry twenty tons on a high boom, The swinger on the crane moved, which might have indicated the brakes did not hold, said Ericksson, Brake Went Wrong? "The probability is, something went wrong with the brake, though Merk- ley, the operator, can tell you that, but this may have caused the whole thing," said Ericksson. William Merkley, operator of Crane No. 7, was called next. He hobbled in with the aid of a cane, as his frac- tured heel, sustained in jumping, has not yet healed. Merkley said he started in 1913 to to run cranes. He was under Ericks- son. Crane No. 7 was in good condi- tion, including the brake on the swinger, he said. Crane No. 5 was swinging out over the lock, and No, 7 would lower the post to the gate as it advanced to crane, he explained, The first warning of a possible ac- cident, Merkley said, was the swing- er tipping. He was standing with his foot on the brake, with his whole weight on it. There was nothing he could do to stop the crane going over he said. The crane did . ot appear to be strong enough to hold the boom. J. L, Cohen, Toronto, who appear- ed for some of the families, asked Merkley if it was not the custom to lower such posts after 5 o'clock in the evening, quitting time, or between 12 and 1 o'clock, when the men were not at work at the bottom, This was being lowered just before noon. Af- ter considerable discussion as to Co- hen's right to ask questions, Merkley answered that the beams were some- times lowered just after 12 or after 5 o'clock, No Plans Found Samuel Shaughnessey, foreman of No. 7 crane, told the jurors that he was on top of the steel gate which went down. He received hand sig- nals from Ericksson, and he passed them on to a man named Wheeler, Jeho in turn passed them to Merk- ey. Crane No. 7 was examined, also the cables, before the steel post was moy- ed, and everything was all right, claimed Shaughnessy. The end of the post swung out, clearing the gate: It meant the boom would swing out over the canal, Ericksson gave the signal to swing back, but in a second or two the thing happened, The crane went oy- er the wall. The cranes are supposed to handle such weights, the witness said, and no weight or guy-wire could be used on a travelling crane. The cranes were tested as to weight-carrying nearly every day, Shaughnesscy said. He did not know how old No. 7 crane was. It had been procured in Toronto. "That crane, apparently, was not heavy enough to carry that weight," asserted one juryman, Shaughnessey said it had carried the same weight on two or three previous occasions, and had worked all right. Weight Was Divided Joseph Childers, Superintendent of the Steel Gates Company, said all the gates were erected under his super- vision. This was the fifteenth post that was put on. Wherever possible, cranes were used for placing the steel posts. No, 7 crane bad been used on three posts, No. 5 crane on all the others. No. 7 was a 20-ton crane and No. 5 was a 30-ton crane. This meant the booms would carry the weights. In this case, the 19-ton post would be divided between Nos. 5 and 7 cranes. Asked about Merkley's statement | that he stood with all his weight on the brake, Childers said there is usu- ally a "dog" to hold the brake. He was not sure if there was one on this crane. Childers said he had never had such an accident before, and he had no theory to offer as to how it happen- "Was the load too heavy for the crane?" asked a juror. "No, eight tons was light to it, as it had handled twelve tons before." "It seems a shame all those men should have been down there when they were swinging this great load," remarked another juryman, "We had no particular time to lower these beams, or posts," said Childers. "Were you ever yourself down there when they were being lower- ed?" asked the juror. "Yes, irequ- ently, as I never asked a man to go where I would not go myself. We never dreamed there was any danger. We had to lower the beams when we were ready." Position Not Hazardous * "At the time this beam was being lowered, would you consider the men working on the gate were in a haz- ardous position?" asked a juryman. "No, I wouldn't think so," said Child- ers. "It is necessary to have the men there or we couldn't do this work." James Cavanagh, master mechanic looking after all the equipment for Contractor Peter Lyall, said the cranes were examined frequently. Merkley, he stated, is an experienced operator, and is looked upon to know his crane is in shape. But Cavanagh said he himself had examined the crane about four days before the ac- cident and found it i first-class con- dition. He had examined the truck brakes, but not the swing brakes of the crane. "Then the only way to operate that swing brake was to stand on it, as Merkley did?" asked Crown Attor- ney Cowper. "Yes; the fact that no- thing broke on the crane indicates that there was nothing wrong with it. The load carried the crane over. 1f something had broken on the crane, it would have fallen over the other way and not fallen into the lock at all," said the witness. Crane No. § Stood Test Samuel Jones, operator of crane No. 5, said he raised the beam end as high as he could, while crane No. 7 held the other end. His crane held the beam after the accident, the cable having held. To a juror he admitted that the extra weight was shifted to his. crane when the other crane let go, but crane No. 5 stood the test. Clayton Tripp said there was no stated time for lowering the posts. When they were ready, they lowered them. Morris Possett, of the raising gang, which connects all the steel together, was waiting at the bottom of the lock for the post to come down, he testi- fied. He saw the steel gate leaf fall and he had to make a quick run to avoid it, Fellow-workers were smashed under the following leaf, which weighed about 300 tons. Pos- sett said the lowering was done at any time, as far as he knew. Harry Baskilee, who was in charge of crane No. §, said he heard a shout, and No. 7 tipped. He had no idea what caused the crane to tip. Crane No. 5 held the post safely, as well as withstanding the jar, Christopher Wilson, foreman rivet- er, who was on the bottom of the lock, simply saw the gate leaf com- ing over--he escaped with a small cut over the eye. Thomas Spencer volunteered to tell how five or six of the men were killed. He was sitting over the edge df the top wall, he said. He saw crane No. 7 rise from the track and come down. Then it came up again and went over the side. He was em- ployed as a helper on the cranes, He heard nothing said about putting the brakes on, He saw four men between the gate and the wall below him, 'Teas of finer quality are unchanged In avalanche of the cheaper grades has a slight reduction in that class of tea.
