The Division of Time.

The division of time into hours was
practiced among the BabylOnians from
remote antiquity, but it was Hippar-
chus, the philosopher, who introduced
the Babylonian hour into Europe. The
seXagesimal system Of notation was
chosen by that ancient people because
there is liz number having so many di.
visions as sixty. The Babylonians di-
vided the daily journey of the sun, the
ruler Of the day, into twenty-four para
sangs. Each parasang. or hour, was
subdivided into sixty minutes, and that
again into sixty seconds. They com.
pared the progress made by the sun
during one hour at the time of the
equinox to the progress made by a
good walker in the same period Of
time, both covering one parasang, and
the course Of the sun during the full
equinoctial day was fixed at twenty
four parasangs.

It was not alone good luck but the desire of a maker to win even more business from the store than he had been getting, that led to this um- brella saving that is now ready. % ! He had a lot of umbrellas such as are always retailed at $2. They were of silk and-linen taffeta with strong frames and attractive han .dles of mission wood in the new Directoire shape with silver trimmings. They were excellent umbrellas at the usual retail price of $2.
 But he sold them at less than his regular price-a good deal less-and here they are at $1.65

HIGH PRAISE FOR
 TAFT'S POLICIES
War Secretary Dickinson Says President Is In Sym
 pathy With South
SPEECH AT TENNESSEE FAIR
Special from United Press.

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 23.-Enthusi- astic praise of President Taft's poli- cies. looking to the upliit of the south, was contained in speech made at the Tennessee State Fair to-day by Secretary of War Dickinson, himself southerner and a Democrat.
 Tt is fortunate" he said, that the leader of the party now in control of our national affairs is earnestly and warmly sympathetic with us and un- derstands our convictions and the req sons for them. He appreciates the ex' tent of the irritation that has come from appointing negroes to otnces n m n the south. He understands that this is a broad, deep-seated race question that cannot be ignored or argued out of existence and for the peace of both races it is the part of wisdom that such appointments should not be made.
 President Taft has gone further than any Republican President to meet the needs of the south in establishing a policy looking. to the promotion or peace within her borders. It would be a. calamity if his efforts should be nullified and his good will alienated. No question of the south giving him political support is involved.
 'I am confident that no thought or winning it's votes has influenced his course toward the south and that even if he expected to become a candidate to succeed pimself, he would, though confident that the south would vote against him, do exactly what he has done, deeming 1t sufficient reward if he brings peace where discord prevail ed, and establishes a sounder basis for dealing politically with the conditions that effect the relations between the races in the south"
 Secretary Dickinson declared that 1t was iGle to speak of settlement of the negro question in the sense that all agitation will cease.
 'fTo control with any degree of per- manency the race question: he said, .tit must be on such g. basis as will appeal to the enlightened judgment, sympathy and cooperation of the best people of the white race all over this country. This should be done with the highest degree Of protection and jus tice to the negro compatible with white power and contrci."
