There appeared recently in the
Raleigh News and Observer from
Salisbury a report which says:
According to the court records
drunkenness in Rowan county has
decreased sixty-fve yer cent. since
the Statewide prohibition law went
into effect more than year ago. In
1908, when liquor was sold there
were $50 arrests in the county for
drunkenness, while in 1909, under
the new law, the number reached
only 273. 1t is also stated that there
has been a corresponding decrease
in all criminal lines since the State
went dry"
And state prohibition is failure

GOOD ROADS MEETING.

f1JUU hOHDC MI L ItHO'
The Good Roads Association OF
North Carolina met in annual session
at Wrightsville Beach, Thursday and
Friday of last week. We believe
the meeting was profitable one
and that much good will be the re-
suit. There were delegates present
from 38 of the SO counties in the
State.
The papers read and discussed
were of a very practical nature.
The report of Secretary J.,H. Pratt
showed that great progress had
been made in good roads building
during the past year, which is an in
dication that the report of next year
will show still more gratifying gains
in the way of improved highways.
A joint session was held with the
editors Wednesday evening at which
time some able talks were made.
Officers elected for the ensuing
year are as follows:
President E. Foy, Newbern.
Vice Presidential. B. Warner

than during the previous biennial per-

compiled by Labor Commissioner Van

manufacturers are living up to the
requirements of the law and are
protecting employees against poor
machinery. During the past two
years there were but three prosecu-
lions for violation Of the child labor
law, however, there was an increase
of non-fatal accidents. The reports
show during the past two
years there were 2,4S5 minor
accidents. Five hundred and

SUMMER B0NNETS
FOR THE BABIES

FROM 'he Boston Herald.
The summer bouueJs for little folk
are particularly babyish and charming
this year. and whether you want TO
spend much or little money there is
really no excuse for buying an ugly or
unbecomnE baby bonnet The huge or
nate creations are things OF the past.
and a demure quaintness characterizes
the bonnets and hats for babies and wee
women.
For the very small girls the tiny
close-htting caps are of course the thing.
and such delightful little caps there are.
in surprising variety, too, when you con-
slider the small scope allowed 70 the de-
SiGner. Some Of the prettiest are made
entirely OF narrow real vaIeucienues in
sertion set together by hand. bordered
around the face by little friUs of valeu-
ciennes. lined with soft silk Of very deli
cate pink and trimmed with little bows
OF narrow pink liberty matching the ties.
Others are made OF null or other fine
sheer lingerie material i'm minute shirred
tucks alternating with frlls of the mar
rOwest real valeHCiennCs. while a two
inch border all around the face Is en-
trely OF closely set lace frils Then
there are tho exquisite hand embroidered
lingerie caps with lace merely around
the edge. Some of The prettiest of these
have an embroidered piece or flap turned
back flat over the cap its scalloped and
embroidered edge meeting the slightly
fuiled crown.
Even after first baby stage is past the
round close caps may be worn, but for
the babies Of two or three years and from
that age 20 six years there is much va
riety in the line of headwear.
The close bonnets take on Normandy
crowns or other piquant crown shapes
instead % fitting the head closely and
though some OF the brims are snug and
relieved only by narrow soCtening of
frlls of lace. many models have broad
fun frills or poke brims. Bewitchingly
quaint and old-fashioned some OF these
models are, seeming like Liliputian re-
pleas Of bonnets worn by our grand
mothers.
Diminutive coal scuttle shapes OF white
linon or null, fine corded are made be-

and frightened by knots and ties of rib
bon or much the same shape are other
models, with wide frills of lace covering
the brim and crown Of shirring and lace.
a lingerie bonnet with full crown deli
cately embroidered has a very deep frfn
brim, also embroidered. falling over an
equally deep frill Of lace.
Adorable little sunbonnets are made OF
dainUly spriggcd dimity. the prettiest
having a design of minute prim single
| blossoms in pink on a white barred
ground. The bonnet may have full
Normandy crown or may be of ordinary
| suubonnct shape. but with a wide far
folding back fiat over the brim and Dor
dered by little scallops buttonholed in
pink The cape Of the bonnet is also
scalIoped and buuonholed and little pink
ribbons tie across the back and form

Probably If their brains were weighed
