The Waist Line.

An indication of present fashions is
that the waist line will in many cases
be indicated by narrow belt Of the
old-fashioned sort which one has
ceased to associate in ones mind with
smart dressing. In very many Of the
newest gowns the waist is emphasized
and in its normal place.
AS a rule, the belt corresponds with the
other trimmings Of the gown, but this
is not insisted upon, and sometimes 1t
has no connection with 1t at all, but
belongs wholly to the must abused re-
gion of the fancy belt. Thus a striped
gown has its narrow belt of folded
procade tissue, and an afternoon frock
which was carried out in pompadour
silk emphasized its possession of a
waist by circling 1t with a band of
stiff, straight ribbon.

SATIN AND TAFFETA MANTLEs
Decided Vogue Is Apparent for These
Tailor-Made and Attractive
- Garments. 4

To replace the tailor-made for after
noon and visiting wear, there will be
great vogue in long, soft satin and
taffeta mantles. These are quite
straight and for the most part unlined
and, when not expressed in black, are
carried out In strict harmony with the
gowns.
Large square revers, allied to equal
~ large square shaped collars, figure
on an appreciable number Of models.
And by way Of breaking the monotony
OF an all-black scheme the revers are
oftentimes faced with some color, such
as bishops purple, peony or Pekin
silk is pretty. But always are these
contrasts yelled in black chiffon. That
seems for the moment to be a hard
and fast decree.
Fringe also plays its part, and the
nantes in their entirety are being
regarded by large fraternity of WON
en- as a veritable boon for filling the
anxious hour pending the definite ac-
ceptance Of the proposed fresh modes
and styles.

NEW INDUSTRY IN THE SOUTH
Agricultural Department Doing Much
Work to Encourage Farmers In
Culture of Rice.

The agricultural department has

OF work to benefit the farmers, but
perhaps In no branch of farming has
this been more fully shown than In
the culture OF rice. A comparatively
few years ago practically all OF our

Atlantic coast; the methods OF hand

twenty-five years ago lands of Louis

They We're used largely as cattle
ranges and We're selling at from one to

GREATEST BREEDER or CRIME
Alcohol Is Most Evident and Danger
Gus Cause of Lawlessness, Says
Dusseldorf Expert.

What is the greatest source OF
crime? Is 1t poverty and misery? Ii
It unfavorable social conditions? Is 1t
hereditary affection? Is 1t defective
education and training? These ques-
tons were presented and discussed by
Doctor Pollitz. penal hospital super
intendent OF Dusseldorf. In a lecture
on the psychology Of crime, at a meet
ing Of scientists in Tenbangen and az
forwards published In memoir. In
1t he says that the close relation exist

of crime has been much discussed
since the alcohol question has re-
ceived so much attention, and it is no
longer seriously denied He declared
alcohol to be the most evident and
most dangerous cause of crime as well
as OF much misery and evil, and closes
by saying that the hopeful movement
against alcohol offers the best pros
pect for the prevention of crime.-Hy
