It has a flat crown, and no orna- ment except a bit of black ribbon, inch wide drawn loosely about the crowd and tied at the side in long flat bow which lies on the brim. The edge of the hat is encircled by a friil of black tulle. This type chapeau is much affected In the east and worn by the smartest of women, though MT. Krug finds that 1t has not been so popular here as some of the oth- CT good shapes.
 Feather trimmings are used In every conceivable way and even on the street hat Verify, it is sad winter for the ostrichs for with the lavish use being made of his piumage he can have but little left. A becoming and lovely model is the black velvet, medium size chapeau. whose rolling brim comes well down over the head. A golden yellow feather curves over from the front and poised in the back is a straight. stiff, fancy feather made of the same shade of plumage This is producing the needed long line from front to back.
 Perfumes Are Permissible
 Despite the fact that the war in the Belkans has stopped the export of altar of roses, or maybe because of this fact (so tyrannical and so capricious Is fash- ion) the mode of the moment agatn countenances a use of scents. They are certainly in vogue, although in the recent craze "to be English they were avoided for time.

1t Is Always Thus

That the saloon is legalized incubator OF
crime has been demonstrated beyond peradventure
Experiment after experiment has shown that with the
opening of the saloon DOORS arrests for msdemeanors
increase, and with the closing of saloon doors such
decrease. Furthermore, these arrests bear
definite relation the number of saloons in proper
ton to population and the number of hours per day
they permitted to operate.
striking illustration of this latter fact comes
from Australia. A big strike at Brisbane, and
many workngmen were idle. Experience has long
since shown that idle populace and open saloon
about dangerous combination powder
magazine and fire brand. The Saloons therefore,
were closed for week Convictions in the police
courts promptly dropped from eighty-six to twenty
six and arrests for drunkenness from fifty to five
After week of prohibition the saloons per-
mitted do business from three to six in the after
Convictions promptly jumped to thirty-hve
and arrests for drunkenness to fourteen Next, the
saloons allowed to twelve hours each day.
Convictions jumped to lightweight and arrests for
drunkenness to forty. The following week all
strictions withdrawn, and the convictions num-
bered 100, the arrests for drunkenness sxtyseven.
The amazing part of it all is not the fact that
crime and disordery conduct and the open saloon
bear a relation which almost be reduced to
mathematical formula but that, knowing of this fact
the most civilized and the most Christianized govern
ments of the world will continue to throw the arm of
legal protection about this business and collect tribute
from it, thus becoming the first beneficiary of this
greatest breeder of crime known to all history.

For the Good of the Farmer Boy

We have quoted before from Otwes Farmer
Boy paper published by Will B. Orwell, of Carn-
vile, in the interest of the boy the farm. 1t is
splendid boys paper and we wish that every farmer
boy in the country could be regular reader of his
monthly letter which appears under the caption, Face
to Face With My Boys"
Mr.. Orwell is sworn enemy to the saloon. He
does not hesitate to raise his voice WELD his pen
against this great enemy of the American boy. In his
last months letter he says:
There lot of near-sghted men in nowadays
who don't make it easier to boys It's downright
erand without running the gauntlet of lot of saloons
home sceeching and driving like Sioux
They very drunk silly They belong good
families doubt their folks know anything about it,
It's keep the boys of all together upon
word parents absolutely justified in boycotting
that keeps these low down resorts where the boys fall
into them.
That's right, Mr. Orwell, the saloon towns of our
state don't deserve the patronage of the sober farmers
When the farmers given the ballot there will be
lot of these saloon-infested towns go dry And they
are going to have that ballot day. Then their
boys will not be at the mercy of these near-sghted
men" who vote for revenue. The farmer is not in
terested in county option merely from financial
standpoint although he realizes that he is paying the
of the public expense caused by the saloon; he
most of all interested in the welfare of his boy and
the protection of his home

President Smith Addressed Student
= Assembly on Athletics


DR.. Henry Louis Smith, presiden
Oh washington and Lee University
yesterday at noon addressed the
Student Assembly on College Ath
tetics. y which he endorsed in un
qualified terms.
DIR. Smith said. in opening. tina,
MS subject was one from which
most speakers would shrink. but
that IL was a theme of compelling in.
terest. He declare that when the
future historian recorded the events

fury. the greatest importance in the
educational world to be considered
will be the fact OF University build
ing, when millions of money and
thousands of students contribute to
the upbuilding of College life and
college activities. In contrast with
the curriculum of our grandfathers.
when Latin, Greek and Mathematics
we're the principal subjects, a cur
riculum that made men narrow but
made them strong, the speaker re-
lerred to the increased studies of
the present, together with the great
subject of College athletics. which
be declared possessed superior adj
vantages in fitting men for the
struggles OF competitive life.
DR.. Smith advocated all kinds of
sthletics-tennis, aouatics. track
contests, baseball and football. the
last OF which he denominated as the
hnest example yet evolved OF the
educational process. 1t teaches will
ling obedience to self-chosen leader
snip, "A passionate desire to learn
and an eager endurance Of unremit
ting drudgery to attain knowledge
and Skill,a rigid self-denial and self
sacrifice for the sake of future suc-
cess and mutual helpfulness and
cooperation. 1t weeds out the un-
ut and unframed and is democratic
Tor efficiency in service and team
work.
In conclusion DR.. Smith express
ed the hope that the time was not
Tar distant when Washington and
Lee would be provided with aswim-
ming pool accessible to every stu-
dent at all times, day or night. win
ter or summer; and W hen a moder,
well equipped gymnasium should be
erected for use OF the students
These, in connection with other de-
partments of College athletics. he
declared would afford the best OF

applauded by the
