ground of the most exclusive South
ern society.
Atlantans who go to the famous
Virginia resorts are Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas B. Paine, Mr.. and Mrs VIII
liam Lawson Peel and Mr.. and Mrs.
John Grant. The Grants will spend
the month of August at the Green
briar White, and there Miss Margaret
Grant, the debutante of next season,
will have a foretaste of the social
pleasures to come
Mr. Paine leads all the big dances
at the Greenbriar White. and both he
and his wife are constant and grace
full dancers. They tell me that even
so early in the season the new steps
have been introduced at this historic
old resort. At the first dance of the
season in the Colonial ballroom of
the White Sulphur Springs Hotel last
week the white Sulphur Riley" long
famous al the favorite dance there,
was superseded by the tango and the
turkey trot.
A few still chung to the waltz and
the two step, but found themselves
more conspicuous, it's said, than were
the trotters.
Mr. and Mrs. Leigh c. Palmer. of
Washington, are to spend a part of
the summer at the Greenbriar White,
have heard. Mrs. Palmer is a for
mer Albanian. her husband being aide
to the Secretary of the Navy
The Prisons of Washington, known
in Atlanta. are at the Greenbriar
White, and the Elkins, including Miss
Katherine. usually go there every
summer for a stay. Mrs Billups
Phinizy, of Athens, and Miss Nellie
Phinizy. after a visit here. have gone
on to Virginia, and ! predict that
pretty Miss Nellie viii be a great
belle at the Greenbriar White this
year.

N TLANTA women who drive their
n own cars and like to hit 'er
up" would do well to initiate
the clever idea of Mrs. Reginald Van
derbilt. Mrs. Vanderbilt drives her
own car, and drives it mighty we'll.
Mrs. Vanderbilt doesn't like to drive
slowly. The laws governing the Long
Island roads near her Newport estate
are very strict. However they ex-
empt a sheriff or deputy sheriff from
their provisions When Mrs. Wander
bilt first applied for a deputy sheriff :
position, her friends wondered what
it was all about, but her idea was so
good that she could not keep it to her
self.
And now the entire Newport colony
knows that Mrs VandeTbilt's sole idea
was to render herself immune from all
speed laws.
She failed of her purpose, but we
must all admit that her idea was GER
tainly clever.

A Correction of Report.

Editor Kcnnebec Journal:
VIII YOU please allow me to correct
an error il your issue of March II.
wherein it stated that | objected to
the bill for standard provisions for ac-
cident and health policies. Not being
Interested | did not speak upon that
measure. All that | said was in op-
position to the bill providing for the
personal liability of officers of mutual
fire Insurance companies.
The corrected statement should be
that Ansei Briggs of Auburn. Presi-
dent Of the Patrons Androscoggin Mu-
tual, the largest in the State. Ernest
l.. McGlauitin of Pressure Isle, secre-
tary Of both the Northern Maine Pa
irons Mutual and Aroostook County
Patrons Mutual, and f. j. Hatch of
Augusta, a director of the Maine Far
mers Mutual, spoke in opposition to
the measure.
Yours very truly.

The Prison Farm Colony.

The hearing, Tuesday. before the
legal affairs committee of the Maine
Legislature, on the handling of pris-
oners, makes the record of what other
states are doing along these lines
doubly interesting \ bill introduced
in the Ohio House of Representatives
provides for the purchase of not less
than l,009 acres or more than $500
acres in Central Ohio as a site for =
new state pcntentiary. the buildings
to be constructed SO far as practicable
by the inmates, the purpose being TO
provide an institution where the
States offenders can be given a chance
to undergo their punishment without
running the risk of physical and mem
tai disease as a consequence of close,
unsantary and idle confinement. Twice
before this proposition has been
preached in Ohio. but each time to
fail before the opposition of hostile
governors. Now Governor Cox is UNI
derstood to be heartily in favor of it,
and its enactment this time is regard
cd as assured, especially since Penn
sylvana has set an example in this
direction.
When pathological reform was first
urged in Pennsylvania it was urged
that it would place the state in the
forefront as leader in humanitarian
effort. 1t was adopted there and has
been in several other states. The farm
colony system seems To meet with
support as the most practical and
praisewortby solution of the needs of
modern corrective methods.
1t is no longer a great credit to
state to get ahead of others In human
itarian movements. but ii is a discredit
TO the state that fails to keep up with
the procession.

A Colorado Doctors, Bill.

Speaking of radical legislation and
by the manifest narrow vision of their
promoters, let us call to the attention
of our readers the latest from the
Colorado Legislature. IL WAS. un-
doubtedly written under the belief that
surgical operations are performed
largely for the sake OF the experience
and the fee. The bill provides heavy
fines and Imprisonment for doctors
errors 1t was introduced by Dr. l..
E. Kennedy.
Surgeons operating for appendicitis
must show the appendix after the OPP
GRAFTON, and If the organ is sound the
surgeon win be liable to a tine of not
less than $500 nor more than $1,000
and Imprisonment for not less than
one year nor more than 10 years,
or both. Friends Of the measure
Say that fully 80 per cent. Of
the operations for appendicitis are IN
necessary. In addition 10 appendicitis
the measure includes other diseases
of the body and subjects the surgeon
10 fine or Imprisonment if other or
gans or parts Of organs are removed
when a clean bin Of health is after
wards given by a committee of three
physicians.
DIR. Kennedy's bill is SO sweeping III
its provision that ii would prohibit
other than registered physicians froia
prescribing or treating ailments. II
would force osteopaths. opticians
Christian Scientists and others out OF
business, and under it's stipulations il
is even claimed that a druggist would
not be allowed to advise the use OF
sell court plaster for an abrasion 0.
the skin or a slight cut.

CeIIuloid and Safety.

Some one has said that when Hyatt
invented celluloid, he gave the world
the material for a new art, and even
for fine art. Examples of this fine
art are not yet to be found in many
galleries, but every druggist i'll the
land carries in stock some articles
made from this valuable plastic and
similar materials. While certain facts
concerning pyroxylin compounds are
widely known, much that is of gener-
al interest is readily accessible 10
every one; and The Pharmaceutical
ERA brings out some of this informa-
ton, CLEANED from a number of au .
thoritative sources.
Although many patents have been
granted for making pyruXylin plastics
the principles OF the successful manu-
facturers are. broadly speaking, identi-
cal. Again, the choice of ingredients
employed are often very complicated
requiring machinery OF special design.
and above all demanding the closest
attention to details. The result OF the
modern painstaking methods is a sub
stance which is nearly as stable as
stone, capable of taking any form, col
on. grain. or texture, as strong as
wood. and-what is not usually credit
ed as safe as wood.
! with the exception of glass, and
possibly of rubber, more articles il
the lines of druggists sundries are
made from celluloid than from any
other material Manicure sets. powder
boxes. mirrors. brushes and combs.
toothbrushes. syringes. soap boxes,
labels. ornamental articles, and novel
ties-the list might go Oh indefinitely.
And the druggists sales might grow
perceptibly if the idea were not only
too widely prevalent that these Ply
roxylin products are explosive and
dangerous. 1t is easy to see how this
idea has arisen from confusing explosi-
bility with inilammability. which is
quite another question. In spite OF
many fantastic statements to the con
trary celluloid does not explode. Pro-
lessor Henry Morton, of the Stevens

suffrasettes Ruin Cause.

1t is painfully apparent that the
militant suffragists in London have
ruined their cause in Great Britain.
Their acts of violence interfering with
popular convenience and interests,
such as destroying mails, has brought
down the wrath of the multitude upon
all recognized miitants. They recent
ly have been caught in crowds and
roughly handled. in some instances
having their clothing torn off.
England, official and public, has been
patient and long suffering but present
indications are that the limit has been
reached.

White Ribbon at White House.

Late and reliable Information from
is the White House to be dry during
the Wilson administration but many
Washington homes are likely to be af-
fected by the booze taboo. At the
White House no wines or liquors will
be served at any entertainment. This
will be true of the home of Vice Presi-
dent and Mrs. Marshall, also of Sccre-
tary of State and Mrs. Bryan; and
the same will he true of the homes OF
nearly the entire cabinet. Speaker
Champ Clark and his wife, neither
serve nor partake of wines.
1t is plain that the Executive and
his official family and their domestic
families are not to wage temperance
crusade but it is also apparent that
they do not care who knows they OPP
pose the use of liquors. The effect
win be to save thousands of dollars
annually to those who entertain fire.
quently. for what hostess, who could
grace her table with the presence Of
any of these, would care to serve
wines or liquors knowing that it was
offensive to her guests of honor
1t is to be hoped that the inane pre-
sumption that all social functions
must be carried by the variety and
vintage of booze, will receive a whole
some setback by the common sense
and character of the Wilson admins
tration. of course it is a blow to the
manufacturers of intoxicants To have
any such example set UP i'll high SO

of the social habit that gives them the

"Tiilman is prevented from violent
action by his age and physical infirmi-
ties and besides it would be too undig-
nified for man of his station to en-
gage in a personal encounter. 1t Is
true that he and former colleague,

part of the week they were not allow

proceedings. Finally Joe Bailey got the
floor and demonstrated that the sus-
pension was altogether out of order

Away back of this when the racket

sequence of the campaign, that Till

their canvass and Butler, with his hand

what il was to fear any one, but he
knew he was at a disadvantage and
swallowed the insult. but he evened ur
things by taking away Buffers toga.

collisions were rare. Once / saw Blount

Of Arkansas pummei each other on the
floor of the House during an exciting
election of officers. but neither was
badly hurt. The only fatality that oc-
Cured in the Capitol in my recollection
was the killing of Congressman Taul-

was tried for murder and the jury
brought in a verdict of acquittal."
