A statistical expert in New York fig
ures that the twenty-sevep leading
French makers produced a total of less
than $4,000 cars in 1911. There are
at least half a dozen concerns in this
country which individually produce
more cars than all of France, and a
few of them that produce more than
twice as many.

WOMAN GARb
CRIME INCENTIVE
Says Rev. Carton Harris In
Editorial Of Southern
Methodist Church
Paper

Diaphanous gowns, the clinging
skirt, the hobble, the peek boo shirt
waist aud most of the other numerous
appurtenances of miladys attire are
bitterly eXcoriated by Rev. Carlton d.
Harris, former pastor of Trinity NJ f.
Church, South. this city, and now edi
tor of the Southern Methodist, in the
leading article of that publication.
Rev. Mr. Harris is a son of the late
Rev. David Harris, of Middletown
Frederick county, and has many
friends in Martinsburg who are always
interested in what he says and writes
After commencing the statements
against the prevailing styles that have
been made by Catholic cardinals and
the medical journals, DR.. Harris con
dennis the French for setting the pace
for immodest apparel, and says that
the morals of France can be traced by
its fashion plates from the day of
Louis XIV. He says:
"The ultra-decollete dress, the cling
ing skirt of delicate and skirt that
has won for itself the diaphanous ma
ture, the contracted name of hobble
and other Partisan importations may
EXHIBIT grace and symmetry, bat surely
not dignity and modesty
"A youth before taking lis own
life, in northern state few weeks
ago, declared in note that he had
gotten his inspiration for committing
a horrible crime upon an innocent lit
tie girl and accomplishing her death
by the snggestiveness of feminine APP
parel that greeted his eyes every day.
"Why do our girls and young wo-
men follow such depraYed methods
and styles in dress which arc in vogue
today and which so often give wrong
impressions of good pure girls and
subject innocent women to insult and
attack? Is il because they are losing
their moral sense or lowering the
standards of the proprietes Of life
No, a thousand times no; but they
adopt the style of dress that is so d.
serving Of criticism, simply TO be in
fashion, and thoughtlessly go to eX
trcmes without considering the spec
taclcs they make Of themselves.
"Oldfashioned modesty like mat OF
Longfellow's 'Blushing Eyangeuc or
Shakcspeare's 'Cordclia' with y3ica
ever soft, gentle and low, an excellent
thing in a woman,still has value above
rubics There is nothing more charm
ing among womanly virtues il the
eyes Of men. But like the deWdrop
upon the rose, or the delicate bloom
upon the grape, touch Of the hand
or even breath may cause it to dis
appear forever. Let us guard the
modesty of our women as among our
most priceless possessions, t6dt our
men may be helped to be true and l"ot
and that our life as a nation may be
pure and strong"

Luxurious Church Pews.

the Rev. P. FL. Ditchfield IN 1.-The Old

to have his letters and newspapers de-

them during the sermon.

Old Time Hanqinus.

1.-THE Anglo-Saxons." said a scientist
of the British association, have q
great love of hanging. and the science

times many of the places where they
hanged people We're provided with a
kitchen with big pots of pitch. The
bodies were pitched all over and made

as a warning to other offenders.
Hanging was also used as an an
aesthetic in connection with the old
practice of killing man for high trea-
son by hanging. drawing and quarter
ing him. This kind of hanging did not
necessarily hurt man, for five men
hanged in 1447-gentlemen belonging
to the Duke of Gloucester-had been
marked out to be quartered and drawn
when their pardons arrived. They
were cut down and soon were none the
