TALK
ON ADVERTISING

At the Wednesday luncheon Of the
Richmond Advertisers' Club Horace
+. Smith made an interesting talk
on the Faults OF Advertising AZ Seen

very frequently that advertisers WI
turn ever to the solicitors their ideas
in crude form and expect tho solicit
tors to evolve satisfactory result
producing advertisements. notwith-
standing the fact that they may have
dozens Of similar tasks awaiting
them. Much better results would be
forthcoming from the advertising APP
preparation IL the advertising matter
were carefully prepared by men es-
pecially equipped for tho purpose and
who make this work their business.

Photographic the Sea Bottom.

In France experiments have been
made that promise considerable sue.
cess in submarine photography. A
specially constructed camera was car
ried down by diver to a depth Of
twenty-five or twenty.three feet, and,
with an exposure OF half an hour,
negatives were obtained which were
fairly satisfactory.
It was found that the best results
were obtained by placing blue glass
IN front Of the lens. II IL intended to
have improved lenses specially con.
structed FOR underwater work In
France.
Flashlight photographs OF the sea
bottom during storm have been OBJ
tanned This light was furnished by
an alcohol lamp fed by reservoir Of
oxygen. Magnesium powder was pro-
jected into the fame through tube
from the shore. 1t is thought that
such nashlight photographs may be
made at any depth to which a diver
may descend. - Harper's Weekly

WHAT IS A HUSBANDETTE7
Emaneipated Woman Coins This New
Word for Spouse Who Hampers
His Wife's Progress.

We are indebted to the undaunted
sisterhood marching on toward eman.
cipation, and whose success We can
now scarcely doubt, for the new word
'husbandette." Compacted into that
rather imposing looking word. we
may Imagine some of the asperity
hat doesn't otherwise get itself ex
pressed in the caustic oratory that
marks the meetings of the more ad
vanced battlsrs for the right as
against masculine oppression.
We are told that husbandettt Is
"a married man who will neither i)l.
low nor accompany his wife In her
political flights, nor is he willing &c
permit her to broaden mentally and
politically He prefers her to keep
her ideas Of freedom shut up in a tiny
space Also" continues This enlighten.
er, the husbandette is to the modern
woman what the kitchenette is to the
modern apartment"
With this further explanation, we
are rather more confused than II the
architecturally domestic smile had
not been subjoined to the description
hat preceded it,
To the grave and for the most part
unimaginatlye male mind, husband
cite" from its very photography
would more readily suggest the defer.
entail person united by the law and
by annexation and subjugation to the
superior being who says: 81 and Mr.
Smith think thus and so"
The sulIiX "otte" in its English
usage indicates something inchoate
not fully ia possession of its powers
and faculties, still nebular, perhaps
with potentialities that may or may
not find development according to the
removal or nonremoval of hindrances
natural or artificial.
In this inanimate world its meaning
is clear enough. A wagonette is lit
| tie wagon, or a lighter one than the
standard; a serviette a small napkin,
pantalette an abbreviated trouser. II
is for this reason of its implication
of diminution that "kitchenette"
means an abridged kitchen. Hus'
bandette would thus by extension, as
the photographers say, be an abridged
husband, which is as near as we can
come to what We are driving at.-St.
Louis Globe Democrat.

iaD An event of the widest possible
importance to the members of the ma
sonic fraternity in the United States
will occur in this city on October Is,
when the corner stone of the new
Scottish Rite temple is laid under the
auspices Of the Blue Lodge of the
District of Columbia. 1t is expected
that upwards of 5000 will participate
in the parade incident to the laying
wi the corner stone of temple to cost
nearly two million dollars and which
gives promise of being of most
monumental character, a tribute to
the genius the business ability and
the far.sightedness OF the sovereign
grand commander OF Scottish Rite
Masons for the Southern Jurisdiction,
Hon. James d. Richardson, former
member of congress from Tennessee.
The grand master of Masons of the
District of Columbia has extended in
vitations to the grand lodges of Vir-
.gnia, Maryland Delaware, New Jer-
sey, and Pennsylvania to be present
and participate in the laying of the
corner stone of this magnificent
House of the Temple" and Grand
Commander Richardson has joined in
the request extending warm invita-
ton to the brethren of the northern
jurisdiction of Scottish Rite Masons
to participate in what bids fair to be
the most historic ceremony that Ma
sons have witnessed for many years
corner stone of the national capitol.
The Supreme Council of the Ancient
and Accepted Scottish Rite for the
Southern Jurisdiction which is the
mother council of the world will meet
in biennial session on Monday, Octo.
Der IL to remain in session during that
week This council is composed of ac-
tive thirtythird degree Scottish Rite
Masons, twenty-five in number, there
having been five deaths in the active
list of the members of the supreme
council since the last sessions of the
council two years ago.
The southern jurisdiction Of this very
ancient masonic fraternity embraces
all the states of the Union except
fourteen, our insular possessions, the
Territories, Porto Rico, Guam, Hawaii,
China and Japan and the army and
navy and in this vast stretch of ter
ritory are but 739 honorary thirty
third degree Masons, the rule being
to make one thirty.third for every
hundred of thirty-seconds. This num-
Der of course does not include the
honorary thirty-third degree masons
of the northern jurisdiction and
which was created long after the es-
adjustment of the southern 1urisdic.
ton whose see is at Charleston, $. &.
The total list of thirty-second de
gree members in the southern jurisdic-
ton is 45,153 and the total list of
fourteenth degree members is 55,5SS.
For the two years ending June 80,
1871. there were added to the order
, IA 1893 fourteenth degree masons and
| II 1885 thirty-second degree masons,
which is the most phenomenal growth
the order has ever had in its biennial
periods for the supreme council meets
only every two years.

From the point of view of the bust
ness man. the manufacturer, the min
er, the farmer and the tradesmen OF
all classes the coming convention OF
the National Rivers and Harbois Con
gress, which will be held in the city
of Washington during the first week
of December, bids fair to be the most
highly important convention ever
held by that body OF advocates for i'm
proved waterways. The presidents OF
the leading waterways associations OF
the United States will be present to
present their projects to the congress,
not so much possibly for the purpose
of securing the endorsement OF the
convention of the various projects but
to give the delegates first band
knowledge of what these several wa
terway associations represent. The
slogan of the Rivers and Harbors
Congress has been "a policy and not
project" But with the establishment
of the policy OF an annual Dill lot
river aud harbor improvements by
the Congress of the United States
there are those who believe that the
Rivers and Harbors Congress will be
compelled to espouse the cause OF
some of the projects at least, The of
ficials, however, of the congress, do
not look upon the situation seriously,
believing that there Is tremendous
lot of work to be done before the mis-
sion, which brought the congress in
TO being, is achieved.
Ask the first friend you happen to
meet to name say five foreign ma
tons who are Americas best custom
ers and you may find that not one in
ten can tell you off-hand. BY this 1t
is meant the countries which are the
heaviest buyers OF American goods
and products.

Austin Dam Known
To be Unsafe
Edward Weeqman, Famous Civil En-.
eineer, Consulted in Regard TO a
Means Of Strengthening the Reser-
Somebody Responsible.

New York, Oct. 2.-"The terrible
loss of life-estimated in tbs neigh
borhood of 20O--and the widespread
loss of property, calculated to amount
to at least $4,000 ,O0O, which resulted
from the Bayless dam disaster at Aus
tin. Pa, could have been avered at
cost of 5000"
This was the statement made today
by Edwd. Weggman, the distinguished
civil engineer who in the early part
of last year was consulted by I. G.
Halkly Hatton, civil engineer OF Will
mington, Del, who designed the Bay
less dam.
"Mr Hatton wrote me January 80,
1910, asking me to give him sor'e en-
gineering advice in connection wfh
the reinforcement of the dam said
Mr.. Weggman today. Il agreed to do
so and Mr.. Hatton called upon me
shortly thereafter at my office in this
city. MIR. Hatton submitted me the
plans according to which he mad con
structed the dam at Austin. Pa
Mr. Hatton said the base Of the
dam already had slid eighteen inches
and that the top of the dam was thir-
ty.one inches away from its original
position.

Would Not Make Repairs.

Mr.. Weggman exhibited two letters
from Mr.. Hatton, the first under date
OF February IS, 1910. In this letter
Mr.. Hatton said mat he intended ad-
visng his clients to adopt both pre-.
cautions recommended by Mr.. Wegg-
man.
February 10, 1910, Mr.. Hatton
wrote The dam cost originally
$40 900, not including engineering ex-
pense. | am glad you concede with my
ideas, but ! fear my clients will fear
TO spend the $4,000 or $4,000 neces.
sary.
The company evidently did fear to
spend the comparatively trifling sum"
said Mr.. Weggman, Significantly "iJr
nothing was done on the dam. After
draining off large quantities OF water
(this was following the scare in the
early part OF last year when the weak
ness in the dam began TO be notlced)
the company gradually raised the am.
cunt of water held In the reservoir.
They would raise the water foot or
two, 1t stood; another foot or two, IL
stood; another few inches ana then
the break.
There should be a commission to
prevent such unsafe dams as these"
concluded Mr.. Weggman.
I'VE hove had several instances OF
this. | would stake my entire reputa.
tion upon the statement that this
catastrophe would not have occurred
had my recommendation been follow,

Dam in Dangerous Condition.

"'rhe calculations which | made with
reference to the stability of the dam
showed that the profile adopted for
the construction of the dam would
have been sufficiently strong, provid-
ed the dam had been built on an i'm
pervious rock foundation. AS mat
ter of fact, the dam was built on a
very peryious foundation of sandstone
which was more or less fissured. |
found that taking into account The up
ward pressure of the water under the
base of the dam. the structure was
in a very dangerous condition, and |
advised Mr.. Hatton to build m adii.
tional amount of masonary on the
downstream side of the dam and to
construct cutoff wall of masonary
or puddle at the up stream face--this
cutoff to reach down to an impcrvipus
stratum. | also suggested that the dam
be strengthened by building a cutoff
wall and adopting "a rock filling on the
downstream race as reinforcement.
Il submitted my report to Mir. Hat
ton and received a reply in which Hat
ton stated that he folly agreed with
my recommendations and intended to
submit them to his clients with some
additional precautionary measures as
regarded water passing between the
cutoff wall and the upstream face Of
the dam ,"

WHAT JUDGE LINDSEY THINKS
OF WOMEN

We have in Colorado the most adj
vanced laws of any state in the I'm
ion for the care and protection of the
home and children. We believe we
have the best juvenile court law, the
best child labor law, the best compul-
sorry education law, the best laws for
the prevention of cruelty to children;
and we have the best administration
of these laws. These, in my opinion,
would not exist if it were not for the
powerful influence of women. The
politicians of both parties reckon Sc
riously with the women vote, which,
when aroused, as it generally is in
proper cases, can always be counted
upon the side of righteousness.-Ben
B. Lindsey, in Boston Woman's Jour
nal

THE ISLE OF LOVE

The following charming little poem
was written by Mrs. Albert Davis,
formerly Miss Alice Van Julian of
this city, and we print it in the Ban
ner this morning with great deal of
pleasure:
Have you ever been to the Isle of
Love,
Where the fair bride-roses grow?
Have you heard the sweet story of
Cupid,
And his little golden bow?
Cupid is king of this beautiful isle,
And rules with a gentle hand.
Instead of a sceptre, he uses wand
That was brought from Fairy-land.
Oh, this good little king is truly wise,
(He has a wonderful mind,
To touch his subjects with his Fairy
wand,
And strike them totally blind.
With wisdom he touches the humble
cot,
An there looms so proudly high,
And old air-castle of majestic grace
In this land tween earth and sky.
One of these castles holds a target
range
The targets are maidens' hearts
And this gay little huntsman shouts
with JOY
AS he sends the glancing darts.
King Cupid's great hunting season be-
gins
The first of the bright New Year,
And on December thirty-first it ends,
When the leaves are brown and
scar.
Loves emblem is a bright circle of
gold;
Our rainbow flag protects this spot,
And sthe national flower, modest and
sweet,
Is the blue forget-me-net.
On this enchanted isle, as old as
Time,
No invading bands have trod;
For DER it waves so Loyalty true
The beautiful flag of God.
Why is this country so honored and
great?
Why does the Father above
Protect it with his colors, tried and
true?
There's but one answer: God Isl
Lovei"
