AMERICAN WOMEN WANT TO
g SCRATCH HER HORRLD EYES OUT

special Corrsspondsncs to The Press
T LONDON. June 12.-American
women here are stirred. To be
accurate, one might say they're in
fa terrible rage.
Here's why:
+ Mrs. Hwfa Williams, apostle OF
grace and beauty, London's most
noted wit and society leader, has
applied unkind epithets to the man
ner in which American women
dress.
Americans spend more money
on their clothes than any women
in the world" said Mrs. Williams
recently.
And If she had stopped there ev.
erything would have been all right
But she didn't. She added, with
the most contsmptuous shrug OF
her shoulders imaginable: 80
F.. And they know less about how
fto wear them than any women
within the pale of good society,""
Within "a hours after the sensa.
tional statement was uttered every
member of the American colony
had heard of 1t. The anger Of the
American women knew no bounds.
What made the situation worse
was that Mrs. Williams was recent
ly the guest of Mrs. Perry Belmont
in America, and was feted along
the Atlantic seaboard from New
York to st. Augustine. She was
more than once a fellow guest with
Mrs. Roosevelt and the wives of
cabinet members.
Therefore the American women
construe Mrs. Williams remarks as
bordering on an insult to Ameri-
cas- first lady"
ITO be well gowned woman,
Mrs. Williams declares, "is to
know how to select your raiment
and when to wear 1t, and the ma.
jority of the Americans lack both
these accomplishments. They are

This is but one hint, out OF many
which might be suggested to mark
the essential distinctions which exist
between these competing faiths. AS
he scrutinlzes these differences one
by one, the student will perceive at
length that even those who call
themselves Christian Socialists are in
many instances Socialists first, and
Christians afterwards, If they find
that Christianity can be used 70 but

disciples OF Jesus are Christians first
and Socialists afterward, II they find
that logically and in loyalty to their
Master, they must become such.

current interest in social problems
Is traCeable to nineteen centuries OF
Christian teaching more than to any
other cause whatsoever, and that in
countries where Christianity has new

lives OF the people there is no seri-
Gus agitation on these questions. He
should at the same time frankly ad-
nit, in the interests OF truth, that

Going on to discover II possible

acceptance and rejection Of the doc
trine, this writer declares that the
minister should apply the social
teachings Of Jesus fearlessly but
equitably never being deceived into
supposlng that all Socialists are al

"On tho one hand, extreme Social
lists lie open to the charge of caring
little for the Golden Rule, when 1t

There are, as Kingsley and Maurice

the social teachings of Jesus, he
should strive to mediate between the
radical Socialists, who are hostile
to the church, and the conservative
churchmen, who are impatient of So

motives. One way to deal with So

gated menace to modern civilization,
to anathemStize 1t as anarchlsm

The Amarillo Country club, Or

ago, is now to be given attention in
the matter OF identifying and i'm
proving the $50 acre reserve in tho
Palo Duro canyon. Judge Carter
has interested himself in this enter
prise with Mr.. Wells, and is author
ily for the statement that those who
wish to perfect their membership In
the organization must do 50 without
undue delay. Something like 100
names are on the list and as the
total membership OF the club cannot
exceed one hundred in number, Inn
mediate action upon the part OF
those who would secure holdings in
this popular organization is neces-
sary.
judge Carter calls attention 10 ths
fact that this IS the time for the
building of roadways, dams and other
earth-work improvements upon the
reserves Of the club. This is to bo
done, ana when tho waters Of the
reservation have been properly re-
tanned the United States government
fisheries will be called upon for
stock The fact is that application
has been made to the hatcheries for
the fish wherowith to stock the takes

grounds
That this club property Will be

present wild picturesqueness, none
can dispute It's pleasing location,
its present formation all point to pos
sibilities that will rival the most OK
acting hopes. An active membership
in this club carries with it many
privileges that will enhance in value
