A very pretty pincushion is shown
in the accompanying sketch, made In
quite novel fashion. 1t is square in
shape, and the surface of the cover
is composed of number OF small
rounds of soft silk, arranged in two
contrasting colors, such, for instance,
as pale pink and green.
To prepare each of these rounds OF
silk, a piece of thin cardboard should
be taken, the size of shilling, and
laid upon a piece of silk which should
be cut about half an inch larger
than the cardboard. The silk is then
drawn up closely in the middle until

stitches in silk or tinsel thread in the

buttons are lightly tackled together I'M

the whole thing may then be mounted
on white silk and, when finished,
edged with lace.
The under part of the cover is plain

Cushions of various shapes can be

of one color or in many shades.

there could be too many of you to

TO BUILD NEW
SCHOOL BUILDING

The council has adopted plans fol
the new high school building. There
were plans submitted by architects
from Chicago, New York, Chattanooga,
Knoxville and by the localarchitects.
A Committee from the city council
and from the school board had joint
meeting and went carefully over the
plans that were submitted. This
committee recommended the plans
drawn by Baumann Bros, of Knox
vile, and they were adopted at the
meeting held Tuesday evening.
These plans provide for the grading
of Science Hill and the erection there
on modern fire proof building l42
feet front and 50 feet deep. The build
ing has basement almost above the
ground under the entire structure and
two stories above this, which makes it
a three story building. 1t is of Gothic
design, the basement being II feet in
height, the first story IA and the third
10 feet. The floors are all to be reen-
forced concrete with maple laid over

them. The material is 10 be first class
in every respect.
The basement will contain three do
nestle science rooms, large manual
training room, two large lunch rooms,
storage room, one class room, play
room, and a boiler and fuel room.
The first floor will have offices for the
superintendent and principal, six
class rooms, and an auditorium that
will seat 700. The corridor is IA feet
wide. The second story has ten class
rooms and large library room. The
building is steam heated by the d.

flues heated with steam coils. The
air is brought from the outside to the
radiator. There are toilets on every
floor. There are four entrances, that
is, the building has an entrance on
each end, in front, and in the rear.
There is a stairway in each end of the
corridor. The rooms are we'll lighted.
If this building is erected in accor-
dance with the plans, Johnson City,
will have one of the most up-to-date
high school buildings in the state.

industrial justice thus secured can

Who believe that government by
the few tends to become and has, in
fact, become government by the sordid
influences that control the few:
Who believe that only through the
movement proposed can we obtain in

legislation demanded by the modern
industrial evolution; legislation which
shall favor honest business and yet
control the great agencies of modern
business SO as to insure their being used
in the interest of the whole people;
legislation which shall promote

To all in accord with these views,

To we have searched the whole field OF
lyceum attractions over and have
selected course that will meet your
demands and satisfy your expectations
Every number is brim full of fun
and yet is work of art.
No attractions in Johnson City the
coming year will approachthis series
of entertainments and yet the season

low price of $3.50 per ticket.
The State Normal is not expecting
to make any money out of this lyceum

opportunity of enjoying some fine
entertainments.
But in order to do so we must sell at
least 100 season tickets to johnson
City people. There ought to be no
trouble in selling $50 season tickets.
