ovERALLs FOR SCHOOLGIRLS.

DR.. Henry s. Curtis of Clark untver-
Bity, who is one of the most active
workers in the Fairgrounds Associa-
ton of America, has offered sugges-
ton that should appeal to mothers of
young girls and one which, II adopted,
will probably cause the girls to rise up
In future years and call him blessed.
DR.. Curtis, approaching the handicap
that girls have in play and outdoor
athletics, suggests that girls up to the
age of thirteen or fourteen years be
allowed to wear trousers or overalls
and thus meet their boy playmates on
an equality. The suggestion appears
wholly commendable SO long as
thought is had only of the larger op
portunities that would be offered to
the girls thus relieved of the impedt
ment in athletic work and outdoor ex'
ercise. From a purely economy stand
point, too, it would make possible
big saving in the clothing and laundry
accounts of the girls, but there is an
other phase of the question, says the
st. Paul Pioneer Press Mans monop-
only of trousers has been source OF
envy among women for many years,
but the women have been trained to
skirts and petticoats from the cradle
and 1t is apparently impossible for
them to make an open breakaway and
;oh+ Of
ming pantaloons II the girls start
with overalls and have dozen years

to be formed which will make them

dress.

TOBACCO PLAN HIT
INDEPENDENTS SAY 1T WILL NOT
RESTORE COMPETITION.
Attorney General Suggests Restr!c
tions BY Court to Prevent Pos
sibie Reformation of Trust.

New York.-The plan for reorgani-
zation of the tobacco trust submitted
by the American Tobacco company
and co-defendants to the government
antitrust suit was both praised and
condemned before the circuit court
judges of the United States for the
southern district of New York
After Attorney General Wickersham
had filed the governments answer TO
the plan, Lewis Cass Ledyard, arguing
for the defendants, insisted that it was
an honest plan to comply with the
Supreme courts mandate for a reor-
ganization that will restore competi
ton in compliance with the terms of
the Sherman antitrust law
Representatives of the preferred
stockholders and bondholders IF the
American Tobacco and constituent
companies urged approval OF the di-
vision of the trust into four segre-
gated companies, to be operated indie
pendent of each other.
Independent manufacturers, dealers,
and producers of tobacco unanimously
disapproved the plan on the ground
that it is a sham proposal to divide
the properties, control of which still
would be retained ny the group c. in
dividuals now dominating the indus
try. Louis D. Brandeis of BostoG made
the principal argument against the
proposal.
The answer of the attorney general
did not express general opposition to
the dissolution plan, but contained for
the guidance of the court many re-
strictions deemed necessary to as
sure restoration of competition ir the
tobacco industry.
Maintaining that it was impossible
for the court to determine in advance
whether a plan actually will accom-
plish effective competition, the attor-
ney general requested that right be
reserveu to the government to apply
to the court at any time within five
years for other relief upon a showing
that the plan did not result in new
condition in harmony with the law.

New York has had several cases OF
fatal toadstooi poisoning of late, and
an effort has been made by the news
papers of that city to instruct the
public in the important and easily
recognized differences between the
edible and the non-edible fungus. Ger
tain broad rules are so simple that
they can be written down to be re-
ferred to whenever the temptation is
felt to pick and eat. One of these is
that the edible mushroom is white
above and pink beneath, the pink
changing to a browning hue, growing
darker with age The surest way is to
bring home the first hatful of sup
posed mushrooms and submit them to
some neighborhood authority, such as
may always be found close at hand.
But there is one general rule of safe
ty: When in any doubt whatever,
throw the tempting morsel away.

clinched the battle and the world prize
by the lopsided score of 10 to 2.

 The wedding was a very quiet one, only members of the family being present.
 The bride, an accomplished and attrac- tive girl of the brunette type. is the youngest daughter of Mrs. M. E. Irvine. and representative of one of the old Virginia families. Her grace and charm have made her a great favorite.

 Miss Meadows was recently graduated from Judson college, where she was a. distinguished student and social favorite, and where she will go the coming col- lege year for a special course in ex- lpression. Miss Meadows gracious man. ner has won for her host of friends, anG her guests found her to be most charming hostess.
 On "Wednesday morning Mrs. Josiah Russell entertained Miss Meadows guests al lawn party, at which forest con-
 test of unique kind was enjoyed, and fruit and salad courses were served. Miss Leta Hargrove of Birmingham won the prize, lovely bunch of American Beauty roses, and the booby prize went to Dr. James Wood of Selma. The evening was pleasantly spent at watermelon cut ting given by Mrs. Mildred Meadows.
 Thursday found the happy party en- toying the hospitality of MT. and Mrs. Alphonso Meadows at a barbecue on their plantation three miles from Lowndesboro. The party drove out to the barbecue in a large wagon drawn by four. mules, and when the day was spet the party had reason to know that MT. and Mrs. Mead ows were delightful hosts. And on Fri day the party was treated to another barbecue by prince or nosts, NIT. J. T.. Stoudermre, on his large plantation a sr ort distance from Lowndesboro. Friday evening Miss Meadows gave a
