LOCAL EDUCATIONAL REPRESES
TATION

1t should prove a source of satisfac
ton to the people of Americas, Sum-
ter county and the entire Third dis
trict that such able and conscientious
educators as Superintendent Mathis,
of the local public school system and
Superintendent Collum, of the Third
District Agricultural and Mechanical
school. are to represent the education
al systems of this county and section
at the forthcoming session of the Ma
tional Education Association at Phil
adelphia.
Both of these men have long been
connected with agricultural interests
in this city and section and have prov
ed themselves worthy of the trust that
the public has reposed in them. They
are both men who have the education
of the boys and girls of this city and
section deeply at heart. They are
men who have shown by the length
and zeal of their service for education
that they are imbued with the genuine
shirt of the educator.
With these men at the Philadelphia
meeting the people of this section
should feel that they are capably rep
resented. The spirit of education to.
day is undergoing radical change.
1t is sloughing off the needless, nay,
worse than needless, elements that
have SO long hindered its evolution
into a system that would more salts
factorily direct the mental, spiritual
and physical energies of the youth.
The public school system is one of
ancient origin. Industrial education,
on the other hand, though compare
lively modern, is rapidly coming to
fill a very necessary place in the
training of the youth of to-day. For
this reason it is well that both of
these educators are to take the trip to
Philadelphia and to feel the pulse of
modern education as it throbs at this
meeting of men who control the du.
cational destiny of the nation.

THE UPRISING IN MEXICO

Francisco Madero found himself en-
trapped in the national palace Of
Mexico Sunday, with Felix Diaz n
control of the arsenal and most of the
artillery. and with the army rapidly
coming over to the latter's side Ma
dero was reported to be relying upon
Gen. Banquet, 40 miles distant, who
was supposed to have 1000 loyal
troops in his command. The most
critical moment in the stormy history
of the Madero regim had arrived, and
the deposition of Madero had practi-
cally been accomplished.
Felix Diax has been in Jail since the
collapse of his revolt at Vera Cruz,
At that time Diaz was in communica-
ton with leading army officers, and
was assured that the army would de-
sert Madero and follow him. For that
reason he made no show of resistance
against the force dispatched against
him, led by Gen. Banquet But the
Madero government got wind of the
plan to turn the troops over to Diaz,
and purchased the loyalty of the lead
ers long enough to cause them to cap
ture Diaz instead of joining him. So
erded for the time, the Diaz move
meat.
There has never been any question
that the Mexican army would desert
Macero whenever real leader APP
peared. The opportunity arrived Sun
day, when a body of students from
Tlalpam marched to the Jail where
Diaz was confined and released him.
Gen. Bernardo Reyes was released al
so only to fall little later in the
scrimmage before the national palace
Gen. Felix Diaz is perhaps the best
man in Mexico to take Madero's meas
ure. He is popular in the army, is
thoroughly acquainted with the situa-
ton, and possesses good military abil-
ity. If he should succeed in capturing
Madero the revolution throughout
Mexico probably would soon some to
an end, and a semblance of order be
restored Diaz is far more capable
than Madero, and his attitude toward
Americans has always been fair and
friendly. The United States would be
the gamer in every way if Diaz should
succeed Madero. The northern revo-
lutionists are likely to accept Diaz. If
they should not, he could soon bring
them to terms, provided the army re-
manned loyal to him.

Unhappily her mirror does not always
speak the truth, for we are likely to see
what we like to see, not what reallyis
there; therefore, at this opening sea-
son, a note Of warning may well be
sounded.
NASHIONS at their best have been
+ developed to really attractive
stage. The unwomanly and even
pitiful exhibitions that have been seen
for the past months do not represent
correct style. If only the wearers
themselves instead Of their dress
makers would study their personal
needs and the harmonious ensemble
that NJ. Poiret so emphasizes. very
fascinating. very good things would
result. Again, designers and model
makers consider only the young. The
middle-aged and the elderly must
think for themselves. While it is
never desirable to emphasize. age
never a good thing to let go the spirit
and the spring of youth, the wearing
Of overnight coIors and extremes Of
any sort only brings about the result
it is aimed to avoid. The woman with
throat that gives the unmistakable
evidence Of youth that is spent does
not accomplish reiuvenation by the
wearing of a blouse with an open
neck. She is better gowned. more
youthful in effect. more attractive
in every way with little chemisette
that conceals the marks of time. A
great many brilliant colors will be
worn this autumn. The woman Of
fifty will do well to pass them by or to
use them oAly in the bits that give
life and briIliancy to the costume
without creating contrast that youth
alone can withstand.

MAY MANToN's FASHION
NOTES.

TUST now We are fairly overwhelmed
with the displays Of beautiful
y fabrics, with new models that
are temptingly offered and with daily
kilograms that tell what Paris has to
show. No less an authority than NJ.
Poiret in a printed interview urges
upon womankind the necessity for
care and discrimination. He asserts
that to be well dressed, one must be
fttingly dressed and that every other
consideration must be made sub
servient to the personel. Never has
there been greater need that such truth
should be burned into the mind than
at the present moment, for, while
there is much that is ravishingly beau
tiful, there are many dangers for the
unwary. Fashion always considers
the svelte figure in making her models.
Since by no means all of US are built
on such lines, it behooves each to
study herself and to demand such
adaptation as her own needs require.
The prevailing silhouette gives breadth
between the hips and the knees.
Draperies are largely massed at the
front of the skirt while the width
about the feet is narrow. When thesa
effects are well handled, exceedingly
beautiful as well as smart costumes
result but the woman who already has
large hips and a slightly protuding
abdomen is hopeless ssESE
The Washington herald., 1913-09-28

In brocaded effect that is a genuins
delight. Every possible variation Of
the velvet finish Is to be used but
perhaps nothing is more fascinating
than the duvetyn that is woven Of
silk and wool, for the velvet finish and
the depth Of the nap give a richnes,
and color that never before have been
seen.
n MONG the advanced models ex-
~ plotted by a leading house are
two costumes. one combining
blue moire with black satin. one
plain eponge with plaid. The blus
and black costume consists Of a draped
skirt of black satin and long belted
coat Of blue MORE over which is
adjusted wide girdle Of the black.
The suit Of eponge consists Of a plain
three-piece skirt with curved, over
tapping edges at the front and a
charming loose coat. The skirt is all

are seeking novelties for the early
season will find this suggestion Of value.
The black or blue suit of the spring
can be practically remodeIed by the
addition of brightly colored crepe or

to match the skirt. While it Is hardly
