THE CORSET.

American Consul Dunning, At Milan,
Is about to immortalize himself with
the American women In a report 10
the state department he declares that
he does not like the corsets worn by
the Italian women nearly as well as
those worn by the women Of his OWE
country, and he suggests that Ameri-
can manufacturers have an emporium
ity TO develop a market there If they
viii take advantage of it. He thinks
it would be well If some woman were
sent over there TO introduce the
American corset and show the Italian
ladies how they could improve their
figures by using the Yankee made
goods.
Consul Dunning finds that the Ital-
ian corset is made with steel bones
and he declares that there is no such
thing known TO the descendants of the
Caesars as the hygienic waist for
girls and young women.
How he secured all this information
as % the make up Of the Italian fe-
males Consul Dunning fails 70 state
in his report. Whether r~efraining from
doing 50 from Il sense Of modesty Or
because he thinks it is none OF the
departments business we do not know.
Anyway, Consul Dunning is in a fair
way to make himself solid with the
American women by placing it on the
official records Of the government that
they surpass those Of the and of Italy
in beauty of figure and in taste when
it comes to the shape and fit Of 4 cor
set.
We would like to know how many
applications the department has had
from women who desire the position
of government official model for the
display of American made corsets to
the women of Italy. No doubt there
have been a number of applicants for
this new position in the diplomatic
and consular service.

The movement for establishing re-

growing throughout the southern
states. Hardly a. term of court is held
II this state that the great need for
such an institution is not demonstrate
ed. 1t has been announced that Mr..
J.. D. Rockefeller has set aside one
million dollars to be donated TO such
use and that the south would get it's
share of the donation. We suppose
his gifts viii be based upon cooper
alton by the states or benevolent or
charitable institutions. 1t is TO be
hoped proper steps will be taken TO
secure benefit from this fund for our
state.

Obtaining a jury in the Kobre muir
der case in Winston was a matter of
great difficulty. 1t was such a horri-
Bile murder and was made more sem
sational by the fact that a half brother
of the victim is one of the three men
who stand indicted for the crime. The
S had been discussed freely through
out the county and it was hard to
find men fit for jury duty who had not
expressed an opinion on the guilt OF
the defendants. Three venires had to
be summoned before a jury could be
secured.
