Ringling Brothers Circus and new

Of Are" will exhibit in Greenville on
Wednesday, October E3rd. The spec
tacle in itself is an attraction that
should bring thousands OF visitors
from the surrounding country. 1t is
beyond question the greatest produc-
ton of its kind ever seen in America
The worlds most skillful scenic ar
lists, dostumers, property makers,
chorus directors and stage managers
were engaged to mount the produc-
tion. A stage bigger than a hundred
ordinary theatres was built and made
portable so that it can be conveyed
from town to town and erected each
morning in the main tent. Thus the
circus proprietors have made it pos
sible for those who live in contribu-
tory towns as we'll as in the large cit
les to see this magnificent wordless
play with its cast Of 1900 characters,
ballet of 300 dancing girls, a grand
opera chorus OF 400 voices. coo horses
and train load OF special scenery,
costumes. properties and mechanical
devices for producing such stage eff
fects as thunder, lightning. storms,
fires and the, sound Of battle.
In the old market place OF Roen
France there now stands monument
by which the French OF today have
sought to redeem their part in the
execution of Joan OF Arc, who on
May 30, 1431 was burned to death on
the false charge OF neresy after hav-
ing delivered her country from the
English and having restored the crown
to Charles VII History records but
the meager facts of this strange hero
inc of eighteen years. who led the
Nmies of France victorious through
English invasion, and then, deserted
by all, even the indolent monarch
whom she preserved died by the cruel
est torture known with the name OF
the master upon her lips. Unsung in
poetry the name of this simple peas
ant girl has come down through the
ages to be revered as that of a saint,
and whose wonderful powers and
whose bravery are verify believed to
have been of divine inspiration.
On the triumphant incidents tho
vctorius engagements, the final de-
feat of the English armies, and the
coronation Of Charles VII, all achiev-
ed by the frail Maid OF Orleans. has
been founded the inspiring spectacle
which gives Ringing Brothers circus
new significance and makes an
attraction such as the world in search
ing for amusement has never before
found.
The regular circus program is more
than ever attractive. It's company of
375 foreign artists, its double menag-
erie and its new street parade will
prove a great surprise to those who
attend from this city. The event is
one that should not be missed. 11-2t

| have not heard one single adverse
criticism either of his preaching or his
manner.
The pastor counted himself specially

BeIenets la Portuguese: Wash well
six ounces of Caroline rice, place it in
a clean stew pan, adding four ounces
Of powdered sugar, two ounces of but
ter, half a stick of cinnamon and a
strip of lemon peel or very little
grated rind of lemon. Allow the but

Then draw the pan to the side of the

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

THAT looks like me-
By that criterion one of the best
dressed women I know chooses all
her gowns.
What does that mean?
1t means that when she sees a
gown or hat in a shop window, or on
a form, or worn by passerby on the
street, which she realizes belongs to
her own peculiar style, she is imme-
diately interested in it, and if possible
and desirable, buys it or copies it.
1t means that the first and most
tenacious requirement which this
woman makes of a garment is that it
shall harmonic with her own ap-
pearance and personality; and the re-
suit is that, whether they are capable
of analyzing the reason or not, al
most everyone who sees her regards
her as a charmingly gOwned woman.
Just how large a percentage of
beauty harmony makes up, a great
many people do not seem to realize.
We all know that the lovehest gown
is equally unlovely if worn by the
wrong person.
There are gowns for each of us
that bring out every bit of us-every
bit OF the most attractive of us
gowns out of which we shine forth
suitably dressed, and hence serene,
confident and at our best; and there
are other perfectly good gowns that
either wholly eclipse Us or bring out
our worst points, or in some way or
other punish us for choosing what
was not in harmony with us.
Very few women confine themselves
to two or three colors and yet the
woman who has more than two colors
that really belong to her is rare, and
only raving beauty ought to attempt
the half-dozen colors which the ordi-
nary woman does actually include in
her wardrobe.
Every woman ought to know her
best color and her next best, and if
she cares more for beauty than va
riety, ought to stick to them
I say color" 1 mean something
more restricted than that. mean
her exact shade. 1 know a girl who
found out that brown was her color,
but did not realize for some time that
there are browns as far apart as the
poles. Leaf brown was her perfect
color, and bright yellow brown was
as deadly to her as cerise or purple.
An expensive mistake taught her this
and now she realizes that it is not
enough to know ones harmonious
color; one must also know ones exact
tone in the color scale.
Woman herself is one of the great
est works of art woman can produce.
Her home and her children, to be
sure, are even greater, but the lesser
ought not to be entirely neglected
even for these.
And if we had more women who
dressed by the criterion of that
looks like me-" instead of that looks
stylish" or that looks expensive" we
should certainly have more women
who fulfill their highest possibilities
in this direction.

STRIKING AT THE PATENT LAW.

The decision of the United States
srnreme court in the now famous
Dick patent case, was announced on
March II, 1912. and on April 8, the
grant of a rehearing was refused.
This decision was unquestionably one
of the most important in years, among
patent cases, says the Iron Trade Re-
view And while the reports of the
case made public at the time frequent
" led one to believe that justice had
miscarried; it now appears from the
true version of the affair, that the result
was to have been expected and that
the decision was in line with the prin-
ciples upon and the purposes for which
our patent system was founded.
The important and serious matter
is. that the decision has been the sig
nal for the framing of numerous bills
in congress, many of which prohibit,
in one form or another, every kind
of so-called license restriction The
license restriction" as constructed by
the. supreme court these many years.
is an inseparable portion of the ex-
elusive rights conferred by the con-
stitution, through the means of the
patent law, upon authors and inven-
tors for a limited time. 1t is gener-
ally admitted, both at home and
abroad that American superiority, In
respect to machinery and tools at
least, is directly due to the patent
system.
A tendency of present times is a
general desire on the part Of many
for a change in existing methods, Gus
toms and laws. No doubt some of the
many changes, in force and proposed,
will WORK for the correction of past
and present abuses. and if so, well
anc good. The mere desire for
change however. simply because it is
a change. is not commendable and is
certainly dangerous when it involves
basic principles that have been tried
for many years with acknowledged
beneficial results. Changes in our
patent law should be contemplated
only with the fullest knowledge of the
fs cts and with due consideration for
the far-reaching effects of that law.

THE RAILROAD SITUATION.

Another element which causes a
decided undercurrent of hesitation in
financial circles is the railroad situa-
ton" writes Henry C1ews. the New
York banker, in his weekly financial
review, and he continues at is i'm
perative that our railroads in all parts
of the country spend large. sums dur
ing the next few years for enlarged
terminal facilities; this 10 meet an
evergrowing pressure in public re-
ouirements. In addition to these de-
-mands for new financing which of
course mean increased fixed charges,
the railroads are also embarrassed by
growing demands of labor. If the re-
quests of the engineers are granted,
all railroad labor is likely to follow
with corresponding claims, and the re-
suits will be a further increase of be-
tween s5O,OO0,OOO to $6O,OO0.00O In the
annual expenses of the American rail-
roads. Net earnings are only just now
beginning to recover from the ad-
vances made by labor two years ago.
Further concessions such as are now
insisted upon would seriously cripple
many of our great transportation sys-
TENS. particularly the weaker lines
The railroads might recoup themselves
by passing on increased charges to the
consumer. as in other lines of busI-
ness. But in this course they are pre-
vented by the interstate commerce
commission, which keeps in view the
resentment of public opinion that
would follow the granting of an ad-
vance in rates. Thus it is the railroads
are in an exceedingly embarrassing al
Iemma. At the moment this is beng
somewhat eased by liberal gains in
gross earnings and a very satisfactory
Improvement in net on few OF the
most favorably situated lines. Sep
TENDER and October earnings should
show still further gains. if the fears
of railroad managers as TO car fam
inc are we'll founded.
There is one other difficulty which
the roads have to face, that of financ-
ing early requirements. New security
issues thus far this year have been
exceedingly heavy and until these have
been assimilated 1t would be imprac-
teal to issue further large amounts at
this time. The bond market is already
congested, both at home and abroad
and with the present high rates of in
terest it is difficult to place new issues
upon terms satisfactory to the issuers.
In all probability these perplexities
will be gradually worked out"

Kind to everything you see
Do not kick the tables legs
Don't beat unoffending eggs.
Do not mischievously try
To poke things in a needles eve:
Nor guilty be of such a fault
AS to pinch the table salt
DO not pull teapot's nose
Don't ask bread what time If rose
Little pitchers ears don't tWeak
Nor smack the apples rosy cheek
But remember it is right
To all things to be polite;
Let the hay-scaIes have their weigh.
Wish the calendar good day.
Kiss the clock upon it's race
Return the arm-chair's fond embrace.
Greet the sieve in merry strain,
Ask the window hows its pane.

FIRST ELECTRIC STEAMER"

Electric power is being used in a
new way There was launched at the
Mare Island navy yard, in California,
the other day. the first electrically
driven sea-going vessel ever built.
This steamer is the United States
fuel ship Jupiter. It is 572 feet long
by 65 feet -beam-the larges vessel
ever laid down on the Pacific coast.
The energy to propel it is to be sup
piled primarily by six steam turbines,
which will operate a $4,000 horse
power electric generator, the largest
ever built of it's kind and the current
will be utilized to drive twin screw
shafts.
The operation of this electric
steamer will be watched with inter
est far greater than that excited by
the experiments substituting electric
ity for steam as a motive power for
railroads, because there was not much
novelty in the substitution of an cleo
trio locomotive, getting its power from
without, for the steam locomotive. On
this ship. however, the electric cur
rent must be made on board and can
not be carried in storage or taken
from rails or a feed wire.
The dispatches do not say what
economy, if any, is to result from the
plan of using steam to generate cleo
tricity, and then using the electricity
