signs which are stamped for this EN-.
broidery are divided into sections by
lines running at regular intervals
across the scrolls and other figures.
The method of working is both
simple and rapid. The sections are
filled in with a filling cotton and then
worked in satin stitch following the
growth of scroll. Three sides of sec.
ton are then outlined so that the
design when finished looks as il one
scale sprung out of the other.
This is particularly effective for
borders or table covers or sofa pill
olws or the centerpieces made oi
homespun linen used on tables be

AS the embroidery is done in Turk

suitable for large designs. it work,

Gloves especially adapted for tennis

boiling but become softer and more

THEY FIND No TIGER" BILLS.

The Charleston grand jury T.:
fused 10 bring in true bills
against the blind tigers in that
city, but the police and the con
stables continue raiding just the
same. Now, why do the grand
iuries fail to return true bills?
Surely il is not because there
are no violations Of the Cary
Cothran Act in that city, but De
cause the evidence the grand
Jury has TO deal with is not the
same, nor does It correspond
with which is read IL the news
papers y grand juror told the
writer that witnesses go before
the grand jury and absolutely
know nothing about the case,
and seem surprised that they
should have been Summoned.
When asked II they ever saw
the accused selling liquor. They
say no. but tina: they have heard
IL said he did" If this is true,
and we would not tell this juror
that it is not, then there IS a rea-
son why the Charleston grand
lurieS DO not bring in true bills.
Our information, if true, would
be revelation to the general
paolic if they only knew just
what does take place in the
grand jury room, even the tessl-
mon: of the constaoles when
protected by secrecy, is surprls-
ing, and is of a character that
that the most ardent wlsher Of
law enforcement could not con-
scientiously consent to q true
bill being rendered. So before
we condemn the Charleston jury
too strong. let us first find out
what they had to act upon that
came before them in their room
and not what they ''heard in the
newspapers.
