DETECTIVES FAIL
TOF|ND. .THEO LACY

Montgomery, May 29-(Specal.) mis-
taken identity of Detective Ray of Bir-
mingham caused the report to be circu-
lated in Alabama Wednesday evening and
Thursday morning that Theo Lacy, alb
sconding chief clerk of the state convict
department, had been arrested in Dallas
county.
After searching for several days in
the district where Lacy lived during his
boyhood and until he was grown, de-
tectives came to Montgomery Thursday
without a captive. One detective stated
that Lacy is still hiding in Dallas county
and that he stayed at his fathers home
near Fremont either Saturday evening
or Saturday night
The report that an arrest had been
made came from Burnsville The auto
mobile in which We're the detectives was
seen by a trainman and he Immediately
notified persons in other towns that Lacy
had been arrested. The man whom he
thought was the missing man is about
Lacy's height and weighs about the same.
Another invasion of the wilds of Dallas
county will be made soon and the de-
tectives will go, with the determine ton
either to arrest Lacy or force him to
leave his favorte hauntS and go to coun-
tries anew where he is not acquainted
with the geography and will not be able
to hide so easily. "If we can run him
out of Dallas county we can arrest him
soon" said a detective. Now he is in
territory where he knows every hiding
place and when detectives get on his
trail he goes to a new place and throws
searchers off the trail"
Detectives seem to be positive that Lacy
has not left Dallas county and they have
for all time discarded the theory that
the clerk fled from America when he
drew $4,000 from the account of the state
convict department and disappeared.

This afternoon the "Ped Piper of Hame-

several hundred school children in honor
of the veterans.
In an official memorial to the United
Confederate veterans tonight General
Young calls attention to the Significance
attached to the furnishing of government
horses to the veterans for today's parade.
The memorial in part follows:
Tents and cots have been rendered by
the United States government. but never
before have the Confederate veterans
been supplied with government horsas
for their annual parade This act of the
government toward the people of Chat
tanooga and toward the veterans is most
highly appreciated Surely this action
indicates that all the bitter feeling of the
war has passed away. In no other coun-
try in the world, save this great repub-
lie, has such thing even been possible.
1t speaks volumes for the spirit that
dominate the greatest republic of the
world. 1t shows that In 80 years the pas
sion and prejudice of the most extended
civil war in history has been replaced
by a comradeship which is superior to
any peace monument.

CHARLES A. Brown, the principal of the
Birmingham High school, introduced him
as the foremost educator in the south,
and one who was doing wonders in the
educational line.
DIR. Kirkland Speaks
DIR. Kirkland chose as his subject,
THE Teachings of the Glass Room Are
the Teachings of Life" In part he said
Commencement means the beginning
of things, and the graduating class of
today is looking forward not backward
School life and teaching emphasizes
two things, work and character Careful
observation will show that the lessons
OF the school room are the lessons of
life. Our civilization gives proof of in
tense intellectual activity and earnest
moral purpose.
The intellectual activity of the age is
revealed in the rapidity of material
changes. The inventions of yesterday
are thrown on the scrap heap of today
There are children In our cities who never
knew the joy of driving a horse. To
them telephones, automobiles electric
lights and all kinds of electric house de-
vices are as familiar as If they belonged
to ages past.
Our material development has grown
out of scientific study. Alchemy was a
search for gold, modern chemistry is a
search for truth. The movements of the
worlds commerce depends on the ac-
curacy of higher mathematics. The great
wealth of Birmingham has been made
possible by the patient toll of scientific
and teachers in class rooms and labora-
tories.
''The lesson of all this is that modern
life demands training. Ignorance has no
tasks and no rewards.
This training is equally needed for
women as for men. generation ago
there were no colleges or high schools for
women. Now more girls than boys grad
uate from high schools and colleges.

open their doors to women Aside from
the question of suffrage, women must
assume increasing responsibilities In all
questions of public morals. health and
education For these ends and also for
home life. scientific and sanitary-they
must be trained.
THE moral purpose of the age is shown
in an increased attention to human needs
and to personal service. Religion eX-
presses itself less in creeds and more in
life. Every city builds a Young Mems
Christian association building. Men of
wealth put their money into hospitals
and colleges for the good of all.

a period of perplexity and worry for
the mothers of halt grown girls.
Whether the girls live at home and
visit local day schools, or whether
they are at some boarding school or at
college in some distant town, they
cludes great deal in the present days.
The girls must have clothes for wear
in school. clothes for use in the gym
nasium, for the tennis court, and a
variety of clothes for social calls, for
the theatre and for walks in the woods.
To plan and design all these clothes
If the mother is the dress-maker of
the family-requires great deal of
thought and planning, not to speak of
the cost of procuring such an outfit.
If the mother depends upon a profess
sional seamstress or a tailor, or pur-
chases her daughters clothes ready
made. the problem is perhaps simpli-
fed in a measure, but the cost, Of
course. becomes much greater
One Of the most necessary things
in girls wardrobe is plentiful sup
ply of blouses to be worn with her
coat suit or suits. The best and most
sensible plan is to have these blouses
made OF wash materials. One colored
blouse of good material. attractively
made, is necessary for the afternoon
hours, when the girls are allowed some
time for amusement. For the rest she
wants blouses of white muslin or wash
silk. The latter are her special de-
light.
1t is wise not to purchase cheap silk
for these blouses, because it quickly
goes to pieces on an active girl and
is just that much money wasted The
better quality of silk pays for itself
1t may come high in the beginning,
but a blouse Of the best quality of

A girls evening frocks should never
be very expensive or too ornate. The
materials may be muslin, net, allover

These girdles may be made at home
