Mr. Rockefeller has lived under

grave one by one. Five Of the heads

That William Rockefeller has been
able to withstand the terrific strain Of
his position is all the more surpris-
ing when it is remembered that more

word from Europe that his death was
regarded as imminent. At that time

William Rockefeller's personality,
his millions and the interests with
which he is identified, have always
been overshadowed. in a measure, by
the great wealth of his brother. New
ertheless. the wise ones in the finan-
cial world have been heard to declare
more than once that William was the
bralniest member of the Rockefeller
family. He has been the speculative
member of the Standard oil group Of
capitalists and has engineered all of
the vast deals of that combination in
the stock market. Since he became vice
president of the Standard Oil corpora
ton many years ago he has been in
timately associated with all the radif-
cations Of the gigantic monopoly. and,
while his name Is not as conspicuous
as that OF his brother, he is said TO
possess a wider knowledge in detail OF

spread to all the countries Of the

Hise in an address to the legislature
opposed the bill. which provides that

having completed four year course.
including two years of English, His
tory and Science. shall. enter the uni
versity without any special examina-
ton. Superintendent C. P Cary in his
remarks said that the university was
part of an educational system of the
state-not the whole system. He be-
lieved the connection between the high
school and the university should be as
close as it is between the graded
schools and the high school. Arguing
against the bill President Van Hise
said in part:
1.-The state university has in no way
interfered with the state superinten-
dent in performance of his duties I'm
plication that the university has no
right legally to inspect high schools
is not true.
1.-The official inspection of the state
superintendent and inspection by the
university is for wholly different pur-
poses. The university inspection is
at the request of the high schools in
order that the graduates from same
may have the advantage of admission
to the university without trouble of an
examination,
I'm no case has the function Of the
admission to a university been placed
in the hands of state superintendent;
in other words. the state superinten-
dent would be placed as superior to
the university faculty and regarded as
having greater wisdom than that body;
for this in effect is what the Weir
vein bill proposes
1.-The advantage of inspection by the
university is stimulating to the high
schools, because the inspection in var
ious lines is done by experts ] deny
absolutely that the university domi-
mates the high schools of the state. 1t
| is not true at all that the high schools
must shape their course so as to meet

give IT'LL pOWC1 pOSSCSSCU Uy uO SldIS

mission requirements to the univer-
sity, and thus not only to dominate
the high schools but to dominate the
university. 1t also would result in
dominating the nature of work done
in the university, and so far as stu

compel the university TO do high
school work and thus increase the ex-

In connection with the fire patrol a
bill will be introduced relating to CO.
operation with the state by the rail-
way companies, which are held re-
sponsible for many of the fires. This
measure will compel the companies to
keep clear their right of way and to
equip locomotives with spark arrest
ers. This latter feature. says State
Forester Griffith, already has been
tried out and found to be a big sue
cess. The railroads suffer great loss
es in the timber district during the
dry seasons owing to fires, and they
welcome any measure which aims to
protect the state and their property.

Women on Warships.

In the British navy of Nelson's day
it was not uncommon for wives to live
aboard men-o'-war with their sailor
husbands. Scarce one of Englands
walls of oak in Nelson's time but
had some woman aboard who braved
the perils and hardships of the sea in
order to be with her husband. In
nearly every one of the twenty-seven
line of battleships under Nelson's
command in the great battle of Traf-
algar was one or more women, wives
of sailors. Surprise may be expressed
that English men-of-war's men were
permitted to have their wives aboard.
1t was only by special permission OF
the admiralty that this could be done
and then permission was granted
somewhat in the light of a penance for
sanctioning the press gang system.
which was largely in vogue at that
time. Men were seized in the streets
and other public places and compelled
to serve in British warships because
1.-The king needed men," Some of the
men thus seized had political influence
and, being unjustly compelled to serve
in the navy. were permitted to have
their wives share their involuntary

why Christ instituted the great Sac

tians today in the development of their
spiritual life, and what great loss
it is not to receive it.
Many questions were answered and
some difficult things explained and
brought more clearly to light. The
services are a great inspiration, and
they are doing great good to all who
are taking advantage of them.

MANTLE NEWNESS
QUITE PARTISAN
Northumberland KimORaS in
MOuSSeIine

Paris, France, Oct. ALI evening
nantes are very luxurious and show a
charming variety and originality IN
form, although the Oriental still reigns
supreme. l have seen ample kimonos
in moUsseline, all covered with gold
embroidery, with pamphlets, with gold
cordelettes which would not disgrace a
high-grade mandarin.
Others are so admirably embroider-
ed, tinted and worked over with mar
velous designs that they bring back
again the prettiest fabrics of the fiji
teenth century.
A very elegant one in this style was
of blue brocade, with enormous gold
flowers in relief. The revere collar of
fox was crossed under a buckle of
painted gold. Many Louis XVI cap
uchons are worn. The taste for cap
uchons is somewhat independent Of
fashion. Some are of pure 1911 style
and are not the least charming. For
the velvet hoods which have been seen
with white linon wraps, bright colors
are preferred-oeil de roy, eyeque, etc,
also striped velyets and silks.
A pre- tty idea was carried out in two
deep founces of black Chantilly open
ing over two large points of Venise
lace, the drapery of the crossed fiounc-
es hanging very gracefully to below the
waist. For travelling the long mantle
of white cloth is very elegant, cut
quite straight. AS il is anything but
practical, it should only be adopted by
those who have no need to consider eX-
pense in the matter of dress.
One of the crazes of the hour with
the girls is the belt with plated pep
ulum, the belt being a short-waisted
affair and often of folded satin like tire
pepeum below it, says the New YORK
Evening Sun. Some of the medium
priced waists are accompanied by them
And so much does the buyer OF rucn-
ings think of it that he has provided
