VELVET GOWNS IN GRAND ARRAY.

New York. Nov. 6. -Velvets have
changed so radically from what they
were a generation ago. that they
scarcely seem like the same fabIfc.
When the matrons of the present day
made their debut into society a couple
of decades since their mothers wore
costumes in the height of fashion if
they wore velvet that stood alone or
were so warm that they afforded the
comfort of most of the coats of our
time.
Velvets are just popular now a 5

Removing Surplus Tar

THE ladies of Birmingham will GER
tainly appreciate the removal of the sur
plus tar that has been SO literally spread
over the recently laid wood pavement y
said a business woman while it may
have been necessary to use the tar pro-
fusely. yet when the temperature is rang
Ing close to the 100 mark, which causes
the tar to assume an almost liquid form
1t makes the street crossings very un-
desirable, as white shoes and coal tar
do not go very well together.
II do not know whether the street
paving company or the city authorities
are having the extra tar scraped from
the wood paving, but whoever is behind
the movement they have the approval
and appreciation of all classes of women
of the city, whether business women or
those of the leisure class. l know of a
number of instances where white shoes
have been almost ruined and dresses
badly soiled by the tar which is almost
an inch deep on some of the crossings. y

"HoME-GRowNY CLOTHES

From the Augusta Chronicle.
Some time ago in Spartanburg, ]. w.
Alexander inaugurated movement for
home grown clothes-the wearing in the
south during the summer of clothing made
of cotton. At the fair last fall he sue
.ceeded in pledging $50 spartanburg mon
TO buy suits made of cloth woven at Spar
tanburg from home grown cotton, pro-
vided the suits could be made satisfactory.
Mr.. Alexander has now sent bolt of
Bedford cord cloth manufactured by a
Spartanburg mill to a shrinking plant in
the north. As soon as this is shrunk II
will be returned to Spartanburg and a
tailor will make $3.50 suit for Mr.. Alex
under The suit will be worn and SUBJ
mitted to shrinking test. If it stands
the test all right, cloth will be ordered Tor
the other 349 suits. and Spartanburg will
be wearing not only home made but home
grown suits.
The Charlotte Chronicle regards Mr. AL
exanders idea as a most excellent one. It
says:
why should not the men OF the south
wear clothes manufactured from cotton in
summer why should not farmers OF the
entire south, for. instance, wear cool, COM
Portable cotton clothes during this season ?
Why should not the laborers of this Sec
ton in the city and in the country wear
cotton overalls and khaki suits instead of
cheap woolen stuff? The prosperity of the
south depends largely upon the cotton
growing and cotton manufacturing indus
t..x-
people employed. in that industry, but be-
cause of the interdependence of alfindus-
tries in this day of complex business and
social relationships. If all the men of the
south would wear cotton goods in sum-
mer there would be a considerable in
crease in the consumtion of cotton goods
at home and industry would be stimu-
lated and helped just that much"

Mediator Chambers

William Lee Chambers, named by
President Wilson as commissioner of
mediation and conciliation under the
Newlands act, is an Alabamian who
has held many positions of honor and
trust in the past. He is versed in the
law, in business and in arbitration.
and should make an ideal presiding Of
ficer of the newly created court.
Judge Chambers at one time was
president of the First National bank
of Montgomery, and later was at the
head of the company which founded
Sheffield. His wife is the daughter
of Justice David Clopton, who for a
long time was a member of the su-
preme court of Alabama.
That Judge Chambers is fully
equipped for the delicate duties he
will be called upon to perform is well
lnoicated by the position he has oc-
cupied. He was the American member
of the commission established by Eng
land, Germany and the United States
under the treaty of 1890; chief justice
of the international court to settle the
Samoan claims, 1897-1901; member of
the Spanish treaty claims commits
sion, 1901, and in 1910 served as
third arbitrator of the controversy be-
tween 40 railroads operating west of
Chicago and the Brotherhood of Fire
men and Enginemen.
The naming of Judge Chambers and
his associates is guarantee that
their decisions in the pending dispute
between the railroads of the east and
their employees will carry weight with
the country.

THE DECAY OF .sAMPLING,

From the New orK Herald.
The custom of giving things away in
the hope of promoting trade has bred a
race of professional samplers" who
have solved the problem of living for
next to nothing. The sampler eats
voraciously at the demonstration coun-
ters in department stores. He gets
somples of tea, sugar and soap from
the grocer. and could easily make a
coat of many colors from the samples
of textile fabrics that the dry goods
merchant showers upon him. He writes
for every periodical that advertises free
sample copies, and he has never been
known to subscribe. Time was when he
enjoyed sample trips into the country
on pleasant Sundays by taking part in
the free excursions advertised by sub
urban land companies. The enjoyment
of these trips was frequently enhanced
by free lunch and a brass band.
Quite recently the real estate vendors
have discovered that the sampler
never takes part in the bidding whom
the building lots are put up at auction,
and in the future their money will be
spent on newspaper advertising in
stead of chowder and music. At the
same time the readers of high class
papers have learned the real value of
things offered for nothing.

Boosting Boss Murphy

"He would be worth his weight In

saac Lawrence Of New York to Presi-
lent Wilson in urging upon the execu-
i've the bestowal of cabinet portfolio
\cn Charles F. Murphy, chief of the
se of Tammany.
VThis may be literally true, but Mr..
Lawrence seems to misconstrue the
Yairns and objects of the democratic
1t is undeniable that
Mr.. Bryan has sought to make lit
lie money in addition to that he draws
from the treasury, but his methods

Who fail to realize that the democrats

compelling arguments is that he has
Found Mr.. Murphy such a profound
and patriotic statesman that he has
not hesitated to invite that gentleman
and his family to call upon him and
Mrs. Lawrence at their home.
While not pretending to hold the
pfidence of Mr.. Wilson as to his
bable appointments in the event of
ure cabinet vacancies, The Age
raid feels safe in assuring a pal
ant populace that Mr.. Murphy S
ances are slim, to say the least.
MIR. Lawrence himself is not un-
own to politics. He was a candidate
governor of Rhode Island in 1878
Id for Congress in 1880, being de-
eated in both elections. He was 85
ears old this month, but his sense of

Eous mellowness with the fast fleet

From the Literary Digest.
The beginning is the normal beginning
Of all things aphic-namely. an ex-
posure. This IS done by electric highland
three negatives are taken of the subject
one through a violet screen, a second
through a green and the third through
an orange, These three negatives are
exactly superposabie, and all are in black
and white; but the lights and shades are
differently placed, the plates having beer
made by different colored lights. These
negatives furnish three positives in colo1
on gelatin paper. Mr.. Vancamps has in
vented colored gelatin paper-yellow. RED
and blue, the complementary colors tc
those of the screens. Without this paper
the process would not be possible.
The three oositlves are blue, red and
yellow. The yellow paper is used with the
negative taken through the violet screen
the red with that taken through the greer
screen, and, finally, the blue with the
product of the orarge screen. These posi-.
tives are made by placing the paper ir
contact with the negative and exposing II
to electric light. This fixes the colored
iidttti III tilC SCidtni WHtle lHt ncSdliN's
allows it to pass. Washing removes ths
color that has not been fixed by the light
Thus there are th' ee positives-blue, vel
low and red, in which each color has its
own distribution, the relations of light
and shade being different.
To obtain the totalized positive print, II
is necessary, as might be anticipated, to
combine the three colored prints. This is
done by detacning the gelatin films from
the paper and superposing them exactly
on another sheet. This is all. The gelatin
being very thin, and the colors very trans
parent, the eye sees each of the prints
through the others and the effects melt
together.
From a single set of negatives any de-
sired number of positives may be printed.
But 1t will be realized that the number
and delicacy of the manipulations do not
allow of the production of the colorcd
photographs at the prices of ordinary
Photographic prints.

The Park Concerts

Although We have had several hard
rains since the open air music began
about two weeks ago not a single concert
has had to be omitted on account of
inclement weather. said n club man.
Last year many of the concerts at the
beginning of the season had to be called
off on account of rain and 1t may be
that in the coming August the rain will
interfere.
But what everybody is talking about

hear the music-is the fine quality of
