Since educational work represented by Mrs. Martha Gielow gives us the highest ideals of patriotism and citizenship and has turned our minds to the most urgent need of the south both today and for the future, be it resolved that Alabama di- vision heartily endorses this great and noble work and recommends that the chapters of division become auxiliary to the Southern Educational association thereby assisting in the important work of obliterating the stain of illiteracy among the white people of Alabama"
 This was heartily seconded by the So- phia Bibb chapter and carried. At the Gulfport U. D. c. convention in the fol- lowing November Mrs. Lizzie George Henderson. president. recommended edu- cational work for chapters and divisions for descendants of Confederate men and women The next year at our Tri-cities meeting, Alabama division. Mrs. J. N Thompson, president recommended edu- eational work and establishment of schol- arships in divisions. Mrs. Newcome of Huntsville suggested the work of schol- arships be taken up as next work. Mrs. w A. Gayle, Mrs. T. w. Palmer and Mrs. B. E. Ross spoke in favor of this and suggested establishing a scholarship for boys in one of the state colleges and after this discussion motion of Mrs. A L. DowdeH prevailed, that a scholar ship of s109 for boys be established at Auburn or the university.
 This is the origin of educational scholar ship work in Alabama division, work which has grown SO rapidly in interest and favor with each succeeding year. Mrs. J. N Thompson of Tuscumbia was our first chairman, but other duties com pelled her to resign. Our present chair man, Mrs. Bashinsky will give you a full account of this years activities in the Greenville minutes. almost ready for distribution.

Do Not Swat Flies
From the Medical Record.


 Something like 1000 0Oo,000 flies were killed in the campaign of 1911, 100000 in Washington, D. C., alone. This certainly is prodigeous slaughter. and the figures are impressive-until we consider the num- Der that escaped the executioners. Dr. Howard of the bureau of entomology has taken his pencil in hand: In the luxuriant climate of the national capital F genera tions of flies are matched in a single sum- mer A single over wintering mother will start, say about April 15 with an averagesbrood of 12o If all these eggs should hatch and in their turn reproduce in the like ratio the end of the fly season would see the progeny of that one mother fly making up tidy genealogical tree of some 1096 1s1 .311 720 coo, coo o00.0o0 branches, twigs and budlets.

Felt has been relegated to second utility and knockabout hats but seldom for modes intended for formal wear; such hats are built of velvet, of plush, of taffeta and moire silk, of gold lace and other rich fabrics, more or less draped and arranged over graceful | frames.
 The shapes of the picture hats are astonishing. Few of them are alike on both sides, the roll of the brim being usually much more pronounced on one side than on the other The decided mushroom shape is the exception and some of the roll brim effects are fear l ful and wonderful. These hats do not
 really appear as large as they are, for the head size Is so large that they set

 Now the grounds are inclosed by substantial fence and thorough system prevails. This old cemetery brings up a sad reflection when It's bitter history and purpose are recalled.
 Along it's narrow driveways yesterday Il bodies were carried The average is 90 0 week Many of these are bodies of unfortunate perso who in their last days of penury and misery had concealed their names and idertities. Others, dead by their own hands, had destroyed every clew that might lead to their identifica- ton.
 Buried there are thousands whose kin, through adverse circumstances or for other reasons. permitted their bodies to go to Potters Field. So many have been buried in this old cemetery that the space has now been utilized three times over. Just how many sleep within it's confines it would be almost impossible to state Only in the last score of years have sys- tematc records of the dead there been kept.

 Rich coloring in velours souple, bro che velours and satins. velours cotele and veloutine in russet golden browns and amber yellows compose a wonder ful display of elegance in the arena of n,odistic elegance seen In the shops be- tween the Brown-Marx building and the Gunn-Gambill drug store. Ruby red and mulberry and cherry are among the rich shades in the velvets and the softer fabrics introduced in the new "demi-saison' gowns. It is the combination of these brilliant and son. bre colorings which makes the gowns like nothing ever imagined for beauty and individuality

 The black charmeuse dress is an evil dence of the simplicity of line predomi- nant in many of the handsomest mod els.

At Feeder and Berks arc found the two types pictured today the black satin collar encircling the neck and completed with the full rippe of white tnlle at the back; the other with collar pointing toward the shoulders, the V-shaped opening out lined with a wide rufne of lace which would be very fresh and dainty worn with a tailored coat suit and smart hat at the matinee or at the monday restaurant luncheon.

 Motor bonnets in every design under the sun still spring forth like flowers after a summer shower. In one shop they are as varied as the puffs of the chorus in a Broadway production. A very clever one resembles an old time calash and is in a combination of coors much approved by our grandmothers-- a dull raisin shade of satin trimmed with bright rose-pink silk.
