Death and Destruction in South
Central States from lorna
does.
Louisville, KY, Dispatch, 5th.
Death for probably a score of
persons, losses Of hundreds of
thousands of dollars in property
and the Gripping of many tele-
graph wires resulted between
noon and dusk to-day from a
series Of small tornadoes which
swept the south central States
from the Tennessee line to the
Texas Panhandle. The storms
were accompanied in most cases
by hail, darkness, terrific light
ming flashes and sheets of rain.
Arkansas and upper Louisiana
rice fields were injured to the
extent of many thousands of
dollars, while the larger cities
experienced rains and darkness
and lightning bolts that made
large buildings culver.
At Chattanooga there was a
terrific storm of hail.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Some Matters That Have Claim
ed the Attention of The Legis-
lators at Raleigh.

Among important measures
which passed final reading in the
Legislature Friday were: Provid.
ing for the protection from fire
of forests lying 1900 feet or
more above the sea level; abolish
ing the crop pest commission and
delegating it's duties to the board
of agriculture; directing the State
Treasurer to return to the State
prison an amount from its earl.
ings for the past year to pay its
running expenses for the current
year. The State now has on
hand about 500, 600 left from the
total earnings of the prison turn
ed over to the State Treasurer to
cover the prison bond issue.
The Senate Friday passed the
bill to create the State Associa-
ton of County Commissioners.
The object of the measure is to
provide for an association at the
meetings Of which subjects of
value in common to all the coun-
ties may be discussed in the hope
that there will be better and
more uniform laws, especially
those relating to taxation.
The General Assembly ad-
journed Saturday in memory of
Thomas N. HAYES, the Young
member from Wilkes county,
news of whose death reached the
Capitol Saturday morning. Mr..
Hayes had never been able to
attend the sessions of the House,
to which he had been elected
just after his return home from
Wake Forest College, rapid con-
sumption claiming him as a vic
tim. The Speaker appoined a
special committee to represent
the House at the funeral at -Pur-
lear, IN Wilkes county, the home
Of the deceased, and a joint res
olution was adopted unanimously
that the State pay the funeral
expenses.
The substitute for the Barham
and Starbuck bills as to peremp-
tory challenges in the trial of
capital cases was passed. It gives
the defendant Is and the State
II and provides that none be
stood at the foot of the panel.
The joint judiciary committee of
the House has prepared a substi-
tute for the Graham bill, which
allows the defendant 20 and the
State 8 and none at the foot of
the panel. Speaker Graham's
bill was for twelve each and
none at the foot of the panel.
A bill for a million and a half
dollar bond issue by the State
for the enlargement and better
equipment of the State educa-
tional and charitable institutions
will be introduced in the Senate
early this week. A big joint
session of the committees on
education and appropriations and
a general rally was held Friday
night in which ex-Gov. Jarvis
was the principal speaker. It
was the Both anniversary of the
Inauguration Of Mr.. Jarvis as
Governor, and he made a special
appeal for a million dollar bond
issue at this time.
Senator Shaw introduced a bill
Saturday to authorize the towr
of Rowland to issue bonds fol
it's indebtedness.

Disputes Phthisis Theory.

According to DR.. M. P. Ravenel,
professor Of bacteriology in the
University of Wisconsin, the theory
Of Rosenberger, an eminent Phila-
delphia physician, that tuberculo-
sis can be detected by bacilli
in the blood before any symptoms
manifest themselves and the disease
promptly treated and cured, is fail
ure.
The Wisconsin authority bases his
conclusion on exhaustive experimental
tions conducted for some time in his
laboratory. The idea of Rosenberger
had been previously accepted at a
meeting of the American Medical as
ISOLATION. Physicians will await ac-
ton of the association on the matter
at the next meeting with more than
usual interest.
A number of other advanced scien-
tific theories were promulgated in dis
sertations at the last meeting of the
state medical society. Among these
was an interesting though purely tech
nical paper by Ralph Elmergreen of
Milwaukee.
The doctors completed the annual
meeting of 1909 by a boat ride on
Lake Mendoza and trip to Mendoza
hospital in the afternoon.

Law Regulating Bakeries Upheld.

Judge E. Ray Stevens of the circuit
court upheld the state law relating to
cleanliness of bakeries, and sustained
the demurrer of J. D. Beck, commits
sioner of labor and industrial Stats
tics, and G. J. Kremer, state bakery
inspector, to the complaint of William
Bemtz and Frank H. Nakielski, Mil
waukee bakers, who attacked the con-
stitutionality of the law.
"The provisions of the bakery law
are in no sense prohibitive," declares
Judge Stevens. There is nothing un-
reasonable or prohibitive about re-
curing basement to be well drained,
with walls that will exclude vermin
and floors that shall be smooth and
impervious to moisture. 1t is not un-
reasonable to require the walls to be
whitewashed once every six months
or to require the bakery and it's uten-
sils as well as the clothing of the bak-
ers to be kept clean, nor to provide
that water closets and sleeping rooms
shall be entirely separate from the
bake rooms.
"a careful study of the law leads
to the conclusion that the statute IN
question is a reasonable and valid ex-
ercise of the police power"
In conclusion the court says the
plaintiffs were chargeable with the
knowledge of the provisions of the
law and having failed to comply with
it they are in no position to urge that
it is unconstitutional.

Color Advancement.

Too much cannot be said about the
Importance of the color schemes, SO
necessary is it to have harmonious
effect in anything colorful, be that a
picture, dress or interior house color.
The following suggestions will be of
assistance:
Avoid rose color next to scarlet,
orange or violet.
Do not place orange next to yellow,
pink or violet.
White relieves any color, but do not
place it too near yellow.
Orange goes with blue; yellow with
violet.
Rose and purple combine in soft
shades.
Gold combines with any color but
white, yet it can be used with white
If toned with something else. The
frame on a gold mat picture should be
one-half inch wide, fat or half
rounded.

If you are to be at the SeashOre for

/ saw a good looking dress of this
type in a Fifth avenue shop window
the other day. It was made in a
heavy cream-colored poplin, quite
severely plain, but beautifully cut and
tailored. The skirt had couple of
cores at the sides and rather wide
front and back panels that ran up in
to the waist and were cut QUE square
ly Just below the bust and shoulder
and ran out to cover the seam of the
sleeve.
The oblong neck opening was decid-
edly deep at the front, where it ended
in a wide-angled V, while at the back
it was cut in a shallow square. Filling
in the lower part of the neck opening
in front was a patch of the cloth heav-

once more. The belt was soft,
crushed thing of Paisley ribbon, and
the big button molds that trimmed
the front and back panels were COW

guimpe of white masquisette laid in
fine tucks in the neck and sleeve, the
latter only showing beneath a deep
cap sleeve of the poplin that reached

up into the crown, otherwise the
structure would drop over the eyes

would be covered. But these wires
allowed to remain at the front ard on
the sides, held the millinery in place.
The supports were cut away in the
back and an outstanding broad hoop Of
wire was substituted. The mass of
puffs, curls, ETC., passed through this
hoop and concealed themselves in the
big crown.
