MAKES A NOVEL NECK PIECE
New Ruch Designed to Be Worn with
Soft Summer Silk Is Easily
Made.

A rather new little ruch to be worn
with soft summer silk or other one
piece frocks is made of liberty satin,
or chiffon, with long ends that look
almost like a sash.
The material is fastened around a
boned collar lining, fastened at the
back, and is laid either in fiat plaits
or is tucked in clusters of thread
tucks.
TO conceal the opening which comes
a little to the left rather than in the
middle of the back. is a small rosette
OF the material, from which hang two
long ends that come we'll below the
waist.
Sometimes these ends are finished
in long pendant ornament of Jet or
silk the color of the stock. Again they
have silk fringe, and occasionally they
are hemstitched across the end in sew
eral rows.
With a gray silk frock a charming
stock OF this order could be made of
tucked net tone darker than the
dress. Each tuck could be run with o
line OF silver thread. The fluffy ros-
ette could have fiat button in the
center darned with the silver thread,
and the ends can be accordion plated
with deep silver tinsel fringe. II
preferred, tiny silver bugles can be
sewed to the bottom of the streamers.
Any clever-fingered girl can make
herself one of these fashionable new
stocks-and use her wits to give old
touches and charming color effects.

MANY USES OF TISSUE PAPER
Especially Is II Valuable When Pack
Ing a Trunk-Now II May
Be Applied.

We cannot overestimate the value
OF tissue paper If we are Of the trav-
cling public. While 1t is delight
fully careful and neat to own vast
array of shoe bags, one to the pair
and bags and slipcovers galore for
parasols, hair brushes and each thing
we want to separate from every 9th
er, the fact remains that they take
up far too generous proportion of
our trunk space. Tissue paper, which
is very good substitute, takes up
none of the valuable room and is in
no way open to criticism. 1t is clean,
white and dainty; quantities of 1t are
available at any time, and there is
no better material for filling sleeves
and tucked or puffed gowns to keep
them from crushing. Tissue paper
should be crumpled and poked into
ribbon or lace hat bows and among
hat flowers, and should surround the
hat itself to keep IL from fiattening
against the sides of the box or trunk
lid.
Each pair of dainty gloves and all
neckwear should be separately
wrapped. Layers of it to separate
the varied contents of the trunk will
make the terrible business of unpack-
ing less difficult.
Travellers who have packed with
tissue paper have been quite won
ever to its use.

Here's a Good One.

friend of mine told me of curl
Gus experience. He was carefully
stalking a big bull elephant in large
herd, when they got his wind, and a
big COW elephant charged him. He
jumped behind large tree as the
elephant reached him, and, being un.
able to stop herself in time, the ele-
phant drove her tusks with such force
into the tree that they snapped off
close to her head. The elephant was
stunned for moment, but luckily
turned and galloped after the fast re-
treating herd, lea, ing him the posses

Why Actors Wear Long Hair.

Why do actors so often wear long
hair? Perhaps this is the reason:
There once was staute in England
under which actors found wandering
were liable to be branded through the

the decoration and thus the custom
was started.

BLOCTON SCHOOL
 COMES TO CLOSE
Plans Are on Foot For Establishment of High School For Bloc
 ton Section.

west Blocton, June 11.-(Special-)-Th West Bocton High school closed suc- cessful years work on Tuesday. Certifi- cates of promotion were given to all pupils passing final examinations above the third grade.
 The pupils listened to talks from Squire Logan and the Rev. Harry B. Wheeler. Both these talks were of a high order and the speakers commended the pupils for the excellent work done during the past year.
 With a few farewell words, Prof. H. D. Cullen then dismissed the pupils.
 Immediately following the closing of the school a joint meeting of the board of aldermen and board of education was held for the purpose of discussing the local high school proposition. It was de- cided to ask the state for help in this direction as the town is already expend- ing all and more than it is able for school purposes
 If the plan as outlined is carried out the work of the West Blocton High school will parallel that of the new county high schools and will equip fully for university work.
 It is hoped to establish school here within the reach of all the people of northern Bibb county that will give them all the advantages possessed by any town of whatever size in the state.

COTTON OUTLOOK
 STILL UNCERTAIN Crop News In June Will Be of
 Doubtful Nature TOO MUCH RAIN IN EAST Bull Leaders Claim That Reported Improvement In Texas Is Not
 Real and Some Parts of
 State Need Rain.
TOO MUCH RAIN IN EAST

New York. June 11.-Cotton has been rather marking time than otherwise dur ing the past week, except that July has slumped under heavy liquidation, partly on account of a large New Orleans op- orator, who is supposed to have taken some 50,0O0 bales of October in exchange for July. What will be the size of the July notices is problematical The lm- pression among not a few is that not many notices will be issued.
 June Is apt to be month of contrary news about the crop, and this year Is no exception to the rule. There are enough favorable reports to give a check to bull speculation. On the other hand some reports are bad enough to make bears wary. Receipts at the southern markets show a noteworthy falling off. In parts of the eastern belt recent rains are considered by many as excessive and temperatures have been too low
 Thre are some reports of grassy fields in the Carolinas, Georgia and Alabama. Texas drouth has recently been relieved to some extent, but parts of the state, it is said. still need rain.
 After the winter drouth, too, 1t is con tended that such moisture as the state has had does not penetrate deep enough to fortify the soil against possible dry weather in July and August. In other words, bull speculators insist that the recent improvement in the plant in Texas is more apparent than real. Latterly the spot business in this country has been rather better and Liverpool sales have somewhat increased. A prominent Fall River manufacturer has been buying large amounts of print cloths, and the dry goods situation generally shows gradual improvement.
 Many believe that there may be some decrease in the acreage owing to the high price of grain if for no other reason. Lat terly prominent spot houses here have been good buyers of the new crop months. and Liverpool, Chicago. New Orleans, Memphis and Augusta have also bought. Wall street has traded in and out Bears have been very cautious. On the other hand, some of the original bulls are also pursuing a conservative course Specula- tion has dwindled and the weather of late has, as a rule, been favorable.
 While some reports about Europe's trade are rather more cheerful; others are unfavorable Prices have already had a sharp advance this year. Considerations like these have latterly kept the trading within more sober bounds.
