Most of the berry season Is a thing

The uninteresting 'in between sea-
son has passed, and fall styles are be-
ginning to be seen in the shops, har-
bingers OF winter fashions. Each year,
in all lines of dress, there is a tendency
to bark back to styles long since for
gotten, or remembered only by grand
parents. That which was old-fashioned
becomes the latest craze. and neglected
garments, long laid away, assume new
values and present new possibilities.
There was time when adults and
childrenS clothing was almost inVarl-
ably trimmed with picot ribbon. a kind
OF grosgrain with small loops or knots
on both edges. All OF the smartest late
hats of MORE or black velvet have a
touch of this ribbon.
A woman's store on Eleventh street,
between F and c. which has just re-

| showing sample hats in black and white

May Sing Before Court
For Award of Banner

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. S.-Discord has
invaded the ranks of a local Sunday
school singing association over the pos
session of silk banner, and as a re-
suit eight contesting singing classes
may gather in the court room of JUS
tice Of the Peace Ridley that an ex-
pert opinion may be passed upon the
vocal qualities of the contestants to
decide the ownership of the silken
trophy.
Eight classes contested several weeks
ago in Temple Baptist Church, warbling
against each other all day over the
scores of popular "hallelujah" chorus.
Three judges awarded the prize to the
Capitol View singers, but the seven
losing classes contended that one of
the Judges was incompetent.
The banner was left in the church.
but it disappeared. The Capitol View
singers got a search warrant; and
the office of Dr. J. M. Pierce. Every
one interested rushed away to hire
lawyers. and when they can agree on
to make decision.

FIGHT OVER SCHOOLS
ON IN CHEVY CHASE
Appropriation of $500 Starts
War Between Two
Factions.

School and anti-school parties have
arisen in Chevy Chase. and the county
commissioners of Montgomery county,
who last week appropriated $500 for
school purposes in the fashionable little
village, are now between the fires OF
the Chevy Chase Citizens Association,
which says that school facilities are
needed, and a party headed by ICY"
Cummings, which Is against the erection
Of school buildings.
The boosters say that there are about
100 school children. Cummings Is said
to have appeared before the commits
sioners last Tuesday and told them that
there were only ten or twelve children.
He asked that the appropriation be held
up.
Now the irate members OF the citizens
association are taking a school census
and assert that their original figure OF
100 will be shown to have been too low
The citizens association is aided by and
is in part identical with the so-called
progressive Democrats OF the suburb
Cummings represents the conservatives

Carnegie Advocates
All Millionaire Tax

LONDON, Aug. s.-Andrew Carnegie
advocated the taxation of milIionaires
all over the world in his speech at the
unveiling of the Robert Burns statue
at Montrose. He said:

is ahead of the republic and the colo
MES, She established a law that every
subject should contribute to the sup
port of the government In proportion
to the revenue he enjoys under the pro-
lection of the state.
This just taxation the millionaires
of the republic and the colonies have so
far escaped. but their time is coming
and properly so. Millionaires of our
day should be so treated, not as pun
ishment, but for their own good, be-
cause II Is just, and justice alone in
