SPRING STYLES
IN SHOES

AS the empire and classic styles keep
supreme in the cut Of women's gar
ments. the buckled shoe is appropriate
for the first time since its introduction
several years ago.
The bow of last year and the stin
pumps show signs Of giving place to
the slipper with Cuban heel and square
gold buckle, while for evening dress
satin slippers ares hown, trimmed with
a single rhinestone button, which dis
play the foot to the best advantage.
1t is yet too early to say whether
brown shoes will be as popular fol
summer as they have been this winter
but they are always good style ami
very comfortable.

you do the sweeping with an old lop-

In these davs Of dust the most per

It, and a broom that Is never rinsed
out in clean water in which a little am

A NEW SHADE

The newest color shown in the ad-
vanced styles for spring is called null
berry. This seems to be a cross between
crushed strawberry and raspberry, and
it is just near enough to old rose to
be becoming 20 almost any complexion
The most charming linen suits are
made in this color, the white cuffs and
yoke softening the tone where it comes
near the face. Many of these dresses
are trimmed with white cotton OF
soutache braid in all sorts of intricate
designs.
The new mirage silk also comes in
this color and makes a most fascinat-
ing material for house dresses and
dancing frocks for young girls.

FOR LINGERIE BLOUSE

As filters for the large petals in the
design Of some of the new lingerie
waists, Turkish toweling is used. It
sounds like an impossibility, but the
effect is really very good.
The toweling takes the place Of
French knots, and from a slight dis
tance the most particular observer Is
deceived. It is applied to the petal Of
the over and held in place by button-
hole stitches around the edge, so that
n reauires a minimum Of work.

THE RETREATING CHIN

Nothing weakens the face more than
a retreating chin. Unfortunately, COM
paratively little can be done for 1t. II
can be remedied to a certain extent in
childhood by rubbing from the throat
up and out, holding the head we'll up
during the process.
Sometimes. too. thet rouble may be
caused by the way the jaws close on
account of the position Of the teeth,
and a good dentist may often be Of
help.
Bandages worn around the chin at
night. so placed that the lower jaw is
forced forward. viii sometimes remedy
the defect slightly, especially when be-
gun on quite young children.
Learn to carry the head up and
slightly thrown back, and study the
style Of hair dressing best adapted to
conceal the receding chin.

BLUE GRASS BLADE

He makes no allowance for the great mass
thinkers and men and women of humani-
tartan ideas and principles, who oppose any
and all religious instruction of any kind
or character whatsoever. His principal OBJ
ject, as he declares, is to reach some sort
of understanding that shall lead to incul-
eating In the public schools the high ideals
found in biblical literature, biography,
history and ethics"
Assuming that the reverend gentleman
is sincere in his suggestion we are prone
to wonder where he can find any high
idead in any of the departments of the
bible indicated. From the pen of Mrs.
Henry, as appearing in recent numbers of
the Blade, many of the absurdities, incon-
sistiencies and impossibilities of bible
ideals have been exposed and held to both
ridcule and scorn. In all the old testament
there is not single manly or womanly
character. Adam was a coward and a
hypocrite; Cain was murderer; Abel was
mewlng pessimist; Abraham was liar
and plunderer; Jacob was deceitful and
trickster Esau was a robber leader;
Moses was both a murderer and a brag.
CART; Joshua was one of the bloodiest
butchers in all history; David was profit
gate and Solomon was on a constant de-
bauch through life. Noah was a drunkard
and Lot was guilty of unspeakable crimes.
Look where you will and you will find
them all tarred with the same brush and as
matter of right these characters ought
not to be portrayed to young children as
moral exemplars.
We cannot forsee the result of the pres
ent movement but to judge it in the light
of recent history 1t will be about as strong
In comparison with the rationalistic move
ment as was Dame Darlington in her fight
against the sea with a mop.
The only r"nest agreement would be
one to prevent and eliminate all manner
of religious instruction in the schools.

fight and the battle is assuming much
larger proportions. Each sect jealousy
guards its own shibboleth and it is now
the representatives of the opposing COM
bines of god-worshippers who are taking
up the cudgel against each other.
One of the most potent results of this
sectarian controversy has, happily for the
children and for humanity, been to reduce
all religious instruction in the schools to
the lowest possible minimum and still re-
tain semblance of it. Very little empha
sis was given to those cardinal points of
all religions and the dispute arose over
the non-essentials. Believers in baptism
by immersion would not tolerate any form
of religion taught to their children which
held that sprinkling was all that was re.
quired to be washed in a spiritual way,
and, vice-versa. Meanwhile the Freethink-
er held aloof, still demanding that no re-
ligious instruction be given the children
at all, until the Jewish element took
hand in the fight and the results have been
anything but satisfactory to the pious ia
natics of the Christian faith.
But little reflection is required to con-
vince any thinking man or woman of the
fact that the innumerable names and
creeds of the many different sects and de.
nominations passing under the name of
Christian represent many deep-rooted con-
troversies, springing up in a past age, but
none the less continued until today. The
first great schism took place between
Peter and Paul, and these never more be-
came reconciled. Thus we have In effect
today the Pauline and the Petrine forms
of Christianity. The one was the apostle
of circumcision and the Jews, the other
of uncrcumcision and the Genties. From
that day innumerable protests against
stated forms of Christian worship have been
made, some crystallzng into organized
effort, and the present conglomeration Of
beliefs, doctrines, interpretations and con-
structions, with no two alike, constituting
the Christian world, casts cloud of doubt
upon the entire structure and for this rea.
son none Of the sects should be permitted
to enter the public school to teach their
nostrums, as opposed to the others, in
view of the fact that the schools are sup
ported and maintained altogether by pub
lie money.
Rev. Leighton Williams, from We know
not where or when, writing in the Chris
tian Work and Evangelist, published in
New York, now comes forward with a sug-
gestion that the sects should combine and
enter into an agreement between them
selves as to the amount of religion that
should be pumped into the heads Of the
school children with a view Of producing
the maximum amount of such instruction

The Blade hopes to make the School a
success
Following the scholarship will come the
Certihcates Of Award and Merit These
VIII be issued after each examination at
the end of the years course. The Awards
Will show that the student has taken the
prescribed course and will show the rating
attained. At the end of the full three
years course, when all the subjects have
been covered and general average of
seventy-ive per cent or more has been
attained special Award will be made au-
thorizing the person to whom it is issued
TO represent the School, and the cause of
Freethought, for lectures, instruction of
classes and to take part in debates with
the representatives of orthodoxy.
The purpose in view by publishing this
scholarship is simply to show the form In
which it will be issued. At the same time
we hope to attract wider attention to the
plan and scope of the studies offered.
At this writing we have more pupils en-
rolled than some of the most sanguine of
its friends and advocates had anticipated
we would be able to secure. And yet, the
complement is not sufficient to enable the
School to be managed without financial
loss We have asked for 100 pupils. This
number would just cover the bare expenses
attached. Any above that number would
be counted as profit to be applied in the
from of compensation to those who must,
perforce, give considerable time and labor
in its management. We cannot expect the
School to be a financial success at its very
inception, but we do anticipate a gradual
building up and a sure enough success with
the second year. ALI such enterprises
must depend upon results achieved and
conquests made for its ultimate success.
AS the School is to open for active work
by the first of September next, we now
urge that our friends will do all that lays
within their power to aid 1t by getting
students to enroll their names upon its
membership roster. The other plan offered
is to buy scholarship and find some as
piring scholar to whom 1t can be donated
Contributions towards the expense Of the
School will be gladly received so that all
the extra expenses will not necessarily
fall upon the Blades limited exchequer.

action. and the School is an important

PRECAUTIONS
Gu EvEL AN o. CATASTROPHE
MAKES NEW YORK TAKE NO.
TIcE OF ITS SCHOOLS.

NEW YORK, March 9.-school cir
cles in New York are deeply stirred by
the tragedy in the Cleveland suburb,
where 100 school children lost their
lives Wednesday. After the first shock
superintendents and teachers had the
impulse to ask: Gould the same thing
happen here?" Undoubtedly the dis
aster will inspire the officials to a
thorough survey of the situation, and
1t may, lead to the establishment OF
more precautions.
Though New York has still some
antIquated school buildings. the new
est and largest are models OF freproof
construction. with steel frames and
hollow tile walls and partitions. II
there is danger of such tragedy as
the one at CoIlinwood 1t exists in the
older, non-areproof buildings which the
city has had to keep, owing to the
great and constant pressure upon its
facilities.
The collapse OF the floors, as de-
scribed In the dispatches from Cleve-
land. has attracted considerable atten-
ton and is the cause of renewed crit
icIsm against poor wooden construc-
ton. In an editorial the New York
Herald says:
Again we read that soon after the
fire got under way the lower floor fell
in. In a properly constructed school
house the beams should be OF steel
and the floors OF tiles and concrete or
other fireproof material. and the floors
should remain as long as the walls
stand
In the De Witt Clinton High school.
New York City has what 1t claims is
the finest public school in the. United
States. All the steel work is protect
ed by hollow terra Gotta blocks, and
the stairways are encased in fire proof
shafts with automatic doors. Altogeth-
er, the building is absolutely fireproof.
as that term is understood by the
foremost architects and builders.
