COLLEGE FOR WOMEN.
The Corner Stone of the Vinthorpe Normal
and IndnstriaI Soho oil Laid.

Rock Hill, S. c., May 12-(Special)-Mor
than ten thousand people braved a sultry
morning with hot sun streaming through
broken clouds to witness the corner stone
ceremonies of the Winthrop Normal and IN
dustrial School South Cardinals inst1tu-
ton for the education of her dAuei1x cra.
A magnificent grove of oaks, three quar-
ters of mile from the business center of
the city, in the midst of which the great
brick building, already half finished and
rising many feet upon q massive granite
arch formed an ideal spot for the mighty
gathering of Carolinians. The speakers
stand and seats for the audience We're erect
ed against the walls of the building. Eight
battalions of soldiery, young fellows in
confederate gray, headed by their own brass
band, constituted the corps of cadets of
Clemson Agricultural college of Fort Hill,
and enl1Vened the scene. Rank and file
there were $50 of them. The students of
the South Carolina college, wearing their
college colors aid Justify crying their col
(ege yell, were another interesting body.
1t was, however pre-eminently a woman S
day and occasion. The southern girls, all
smiles and graced with radiant beauty, were
present in thousands. The students of
the Winthrop Training school at Column
bia, which is to be transferred to and
made a part of the new school, were spe-
cial guests and a number of other female
schools sent large delegations of dainty
misses.
Reading the Dedicntory Ode.
The governors address was followed by
the reading of the dedicate ode by Major
St. James Cumming, of the faculty of the
South Carolina military academy. Major
S. p. DENLY, grand master of Masons with
the grand lodge, laid the corner stone with
the troWel prepared by the Marquis de La
fayette, Camden, S. c., lodge of Masons,
and with which that nobleman laid the cor
stone of the monument to Baron De-
Kalb, at Camden in 1925.
The dedicatory address was delivered by
Speaker Ira b. Jones. of the South Carolina
house of representatives,. 1t of his
torical character, recounting the history of
higher education in the state and particu
larly the circumstances eliminating in the
establishment of this school for women.
President James Woodlaw, of the South
Carolina college, pronounced the benedc-
ton, after which the governor speaking for
the people of Rock Hill, invited the assem-
blage to the dining tables near by, where
a bountiful picnic dinner was served. At 5
o'clock the Clemson cadets appeared on
dress parade, making one of the features
of the day. An hour later trains departed
in all directions and carried the four thou
sand visitors away.

Household Hints.

Oranges and lemons will keep we'll if hung
to a wire net in cool and airy place.
A drop of oil and feather will do away
with the creaking in door or creaking of
a chair.
When milk is used in tumblers wash
them first in cold water, afterwards rinse
in hot water.
little flour dredged over a cake before
icing it will keep the icing from spreading
and running off.
Bread and cake bowls, any dishes in
which flour and eggs have been used. are
more easily cleaned if placed in cold water
after using.
1t is much better to keep tea and coffee
in glass fruit jars, with tightly screwed
tops, than in tin boxes. The flavor is east
ly spoiled by the vicinity of any articles
Of pronounced odor, such as cheese or
bacon.
Turnips boiled with their Jackets on are of
better flavor and less Watery. A small lump
of sugar added while the vegetable is cook
ing correctS the bitterness often found in
them. If to be served, mash through a
colander
A handsome cover for piano may be
made by using square of plain satin, with
a border twelve or fifteen inches wide of
gold or siver-wTought satin. A center of
pale gray, or a plain yellow center with
gOld-Wrought border, is very effective.
For a head rest, make soft cushion four
inches deep, twelve long, and nine wide,
cover it at the sides with q. border OF let
tuce-green silk, and cover the top with
chamoiS skin embroidered with golden rod
or madenhair fern; slope the cushion in at
the ends and sides, edge with green and
gold tinsel cord loops of which are sewn
on at the end to form the handles; make
three green and gold tassels at each cor
ner.
To renovate a Grape veil, cover n board
with a piece of colored flannel; pin the
Grape smoothly on this Use a large fiat
iron very hot Take a piece of cloth large
enough to cover the veil and wet it in cold
water; then wiring it nearly dry and lay
it over the Grape. Pass the iron lightly
over the wet cloth, keeping the weight of
the iron over the wet cloth, keeping the
weight of the iron in the hand Continue
this until the whole piece of Grape is
pressed
Two new ideas come from England, one
to send ones picture. got up on a Christ
mas card, and the idea is movable to the
Easter greetings, around to ones friends:
the other is a recipe for becoming cold
weather veil, which is to line your favorite
spotted yelling lace with the thinest of tulle
OF flesh tint, taking care that it is done
imperceptibly, and presumably with some
sort of tissue or glue. This combination is
said to do away with the frozen, pinched
look that in cold weather even the some
what amelioratng spotted veil does not
wholly eliminate.

to the memory of this remarkable woman,
and, although she has been dead l0f years
there has never been found TO exist re-
liable portrait of her, though many spu-

character. such as one would have expected
from the mother of Washington.
History gives us some very interesting
items Of the life Of this Wonderful woman.
When she was left widow she had the ed
ucation ana care of five children left upon
her Pine Grove, Virginia, was a large farm,
where she lived and managed everything
She was said to be very firm. She super
intended the entire plantation, as well as
her own household. Nearly everything was
made on the farm that went TO the sup
port Of the family She saw al the cot
ton wool and wax that was made
woven. She was never idle herself, and
allowed no idleness about her She was
always kind and considerate to her slaves.
She kept q strict watch on her Keys, ana
weighed and gave out with her own hand
all the provisions. She was 50 methodical
in her management that it is said her
neighbors used to set their clocks by the
ringing of her breakfast, dinner and sup
per bell
After her children were grown and the
revolutionary war broke out she removed
To Fredericksburg. where her house now

THE TOURISTS RESCUED.
A Diver Locates the Imprisoned -FOUR
ists-Tcrril,le Suffering.

Gratz, Austria, May IA diver at 1920
o'clock this morning succeeded in reaching
the party of tourists who have been I'M
prisoned in the staactite cavern at Souriach
for nine days past, owing to a sudden rise
in the water and the fact that the passage
into the cave became blocked with timber
and powders.
The diver found all seven of the tourists
alive It was at first believed that eight
people were imprisoned.
The unfortunate cave explorers presented
a CHASTITY spectacle as they were brought
into daylight, so weak from exhaustion that
they were barely alive. The church bells
of the village of Lugloch rang out joyous
peals, and the diver, to whose efforts the
rescue is due, was carried on the shoulders
of the villagers. The rescued tourists are
in q condition so near to death that report
arose that six We're dead. This, however,
proved untrue. Mrs. Fashings, one OF the
party, gave premature birth to a child While
in the cave, and Mrs. ZWaier was driven
mad from despair and fright.

Cumberland Md, May 12-)perators here
state that their companies will 20 90 work

morning assembled in a large toQy at the
mouth of the mines and tod the strikers
that if they did not allow their nusbards
to so to work they would cncer the mines
