Paris Often Loses Supremacy
In Fashions Through Sieges

IT is difficult to define the exact
moment when Paris commenced to
L govern the world in questions OF
dress and adornment- Probably from
the beginning Of European civilization

only lost occasionally through stress
Of war. during which time, II Is safe 10

Of Venice on Ascension Sunday used to

fashions. was yearly displayed This
may be regarded, perhaps, as the orig
inal fashion plate from Paris.
Luxury and extravaganza in dress
took a great step in advance during
the profligate days Of the French Louis,
but beautiful gowning was still con-
fined to the ladies Of the court and
women at large knew little or nothing
Of changing fashions.
With the French revolution the wave
Of democracy that swept over the world
Included the women as well as the men
and one Of the oUtcomes Of IL was an
equalizing on the subject Of dress. Ev-
srv woman demanded raiment as costly
as her purse could buy, and ON the
honest endeavor to get ahead Of her

derstand them today.
Paris, however, the seat OF a terrible

Coal Furnishes Power to Move the World

Few are aware OF the fact that the
coal trade furnishes more than 50 per
cent Of the railroad traffic Of the
United States: that it moves every

that Il makes it possible for every per

What Is COalf
During the carboniferous era the
conditions existing were such as TO
cause a phenomenal growth OF plants
and trees, from which was formed what
we now know as coal Anthracite coal
contains a large amount Of solid, OF fixed
carbon, a small amount Of volatile car
bon and, If pure, a small quantity OF
ash OF earthly matter, while bituminous
coal contains a lesser amount OF fixed
carbon and a CorrespOndlnEly larger
amount OF volatile carbon, ash or
earthly matter and some moisture
The Antiquity of Coal
THE oldest record we have OF coal
is from English annals Of date a. D.
$50 OF the receipt Of twelve wagon
loads OF fossil coal or Ignite, AT the
abbey Of Peterborough. The deeds Of
the bishopric Of Durham contain rec
ords Of grants Of land for collieries as
far back as the year 1850. In the year
1888 a charter was granted by king
Henry III TO the freemen Of Newcastle
on-Tyne to dig coal in the fields be-
longing to the castle and about this
time some Of this coal was sent TO Lon
don. From this small beginning the
immense coal trade Of Great Britain
was built up"

with japanese lanterns. The tables
which stretched from front to back yard
to accommodate the great crowd, were

her assistants. The Powhatan Band
furnished sweet music. The strawriders
from town made their appearance about
nine o'clock with shout. The Rev.
Cole took occasion in appropriate re-
marks, to thank Mrs Coleman for her
interest in helping to build ne much
needed church. saying that it was Il
impressive illustration of Christian unity
and helpfulness and reminded him OF
the good social time of old Virginia and
that every Baptist appreciated her kind
ness. The proceeds reached the hand
some sum of fifty-five dollars.
