For nearly a century Egypt,

since 1882, when the English oc-

The International Typographical
union is now engaged in raising a
Christmas gift of $4,000 for the
building of an addition to the union
printers home at Colorado Springs,
where the organization takes care
of brothers Of the craft who are
unable to earn a living by reason
of illness and disability. The work
planned is the addition of greater
library and Fltchen facilities and
other Improvements.
The estimate of cost for this
work is $4,000, according to fig
ures submitted by President Lynch,
and $4,000 of this is already avail
able in the Amos j. Cummings
memorial fund.
The balance is asked from mem
bers of the craft in the form of a
Christmas donation. President
Lynch has been authorized to make
such an appeal and the different
subordinate unions have received
his communication on the subject.
The printers home is the great
est institution of the kind in the
world and it leads the benevolent
movement of organized labor. The
library already installed at the
home numbers 5000 volumes, and
there are 5000 more volumes ready
to be placed as soon as the library
is enlarged to hold them.

TERRIBLE TURK" IS the CHAMPION
LO0SER OF TERRITORY

The Terrible Turk" who may
be taken as typifying the empire
of the sultans, holds one record at
least, which he is not likely to be
deprived of. He has won and lost
more territory than any other ma
ton.
There was a time when the Sui
tan was the bugbear of the world.
Even little children in our own
country shook In their shoes when
they heard his name mentioned,
and those people who lived any
where near him dared not call
their lives their own.
But at last the tide turned. The
Turk began to lose, and one great
misfortune followed another.
Spain was the first big bit of the
Turkish empire to break free. The
Moors. who were subject and paid
tribute to the sultan, were driven
from province after province, un-
til at length they were cooped up
in the solitary kingdom of Gran
ada.
The last Moorish king to reign
in Spain was Boabdil-el-Chaco, or
Boabdil the Unlucky. In 1882 Fer
dinand and Isabella, the king and
queen of Arragon and CASTLE, de-
clared war on him, and in 1892 he
had to surrender everything.
Hungary, which now forms half
of the dual monarchy of the EN-
peror Francis Joseph, was pro-
vince of the sultan for a hundred
and fifty years. Then it was torn
from him by the sword.
After this came the turn of the
cars. The Russians, whom he
once despised, have been the
Turks worst enemies. They have
either robbed him themselves or
encouraged others to rob him.
Peter the Great set the example,
but was not, on the whole, very
successful in his wars against the
Moslems. At one time the Turks
could have captured and massa-
cred Peter and his army, but were
frustrated by the slave girl, Cath
crime. whom Peter had married.
Catherine the Great tore the
Crimea from the unhappy Turk, to-
gether with thousands of square
miles of territory along the shores
of the Caspian.
In 1921 the Greeks, who had
been slaves of the sultans for
many centuries, rose in rebellion
and drove the Turks out of the
country. But then the Greek lead
ers began to quarrel among them
selves, and civil war followed. The
Turk took the opportunity to seize
the country once more.
But the massacres and other hor-
rors which followed aroused Eu-

These have been calculated to suit
all tastes, but one of the most desira-
BILE of a long list, the famous haunt
ing waltz strains from Franz Lehar's
successful comic opera, 1.-THE Merry

The "hit" made by this composition
is one of the most remarkable of
musical history. In London, alone,
within one month after the produc-

40, 900 copies of the waltz we're sold
The opera has been running for over
230 nights in New York city in one
theatre, and shorter "runs" are under
way at other houses there. The
melody is being played, sung and

The Summer Fashions.

Grace Margaret Gould, the dress
expert, says in Woman's Home Com
p lnion for May:
There are two distinct types of
dress this summer, both emphasizing
the straight up.and-down effect. One
is the tailored coat suit showing in
many instances cutaway coat, which
gives the hipless effect, and a skirt
comparatively narrow at the bottom
that is, 1t is made without the sud-
den fare that the tailored skirt used
to have.
"The other type of dress is the cut
in-one gown, and great will be its
favor throughout the summer. In the
form of the new princess jumper this
cut-in one dress is a most practical
gown to own. 1t can fasten In the
front quite as easily as the back, and
it is a model equally good for silk or
linen.
"This style dress Is always cut out
at the neck, and is generally sleeve
less, to show the guimpe, or trimme.
just sufficiently over the shoulders to
give a modified large armhole effect.
Or it may be made, as a number of
the imported models are, 30 that 1t
has much the effect of polonaise cut
out at the neck, but having a sleeve
which Is cut In one with the bodice.
snow, of course, there are many
variations of these two basic ideas In
dress, but whatever the fashionable
model this summer, 1t is sure to be
simple In design, lacking entirely any
exaggeration in form.
"Perhaps this idea is better shown
In the sleeve than anywhere else,
which has diminished In a pronounced
way in size within the past six month
and now in most cases follows very
closely the outline of the arm"

TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
Holds Profitable and Interesting
Meeting at.Lynehburg last
Saturday.

The Highland County Teachers AS
sociation met at The M e. Church in
Lynchburg last Saturday,
Prof. F. b Pearson, of Colum bus,
and Prof. Wilson, of Athens, had been
secured as speakers for the occasion,
and better selections could not have
been made. Prof. Pearson delivered
two addresses, his subject at the
morning session was 1.-THE Mission of
Poetry" and all who heard 1t will
hereafter be better able to apprecl-
ate and understand the coed and
beautiful thoughts of our best poets
and to gather in their reading the
true and full intent of the poet.
His afternoon address was "The Read
ing Lesson, Richard ILL.," This sub
ject was handled In manner that
gave his hearers many new ideas In
regard to teaching reading, and 1t is
believed that much benefit was de-
rived by them from It.
Prot. Wilson addressed the associa-
tion at the morning session and took
as his theme the characteristics of
John Greenleaf Whittier" Whit
tiers life as a boy, man, politician,
reformer and poet was covered. He
pointed out how his environment and
the conditions of the times in which
he lived had affected and controlled
his poetry and of the breadth of his
learning and diversity of his labors
He had a complete grasp of his SUD-
ject md is an eloquent and fluent
speaker.
Much good was derived from the
round table discussion with which the
morning session was opened and In
which all we're expected to take part.
This gives the teachers the benefit of
the experience and ideas of their CO.
workers and is very helpful in raising
the standard of work In the schools.
Quite an excellent musical pro ram
had been arranged. The song" "Good
Morning Everybody" by the pupils of
the Lynchburg school reflected credit
upon their teacher.
The afternoon. session was opened
by violin solo by Wilbur Nolder ac-
companied by Miss Hazel McCann.
Harold Hodson furnished beautiful
vocal solo and the session was con-
cluded by solo by Miss Florence
Morrow.
The following officers we're elected
for the ensuing year: Pres. G. A.
Puckett, of Lynchburg, Sec'y. Miss
Murphy of Lynchburg, Executive
Committee, G. B. Cox, Leesburg, G.
l.. Yochum Rainsboro and A J Kirby
Hillsboro. This was the last meeting
of the year and the time for holding
the next meeting will be determined
by the Executive committee.
