Mr.. Norman Black is engaged in
digging the foundation for boathouse

it will be of the cobblestone style in
part. and will prove a fine addition
to his property.

ana nave been in almost every
vaudeville circuit on the Atlantic
coast. Prince, the Oldest of the two
dogs, has been on the stage ever
| since he was five months old and he
now is twelve years. In many towr>.
he has been billed as "The Dog of
Human Intelligence" "Queenie" his
mate has not been on the stage as
| long as Pr1nce, she being only two
years old. She can, however. do all
the tricks that Prince can, although
| with not as much ease Mr.. and
Mrs. Colomb expect to start their
season on the Pacific coast either
the fifth or sixth of September. Mrs
Colomb said that Prince often after
his act was called out to bow four
or five times. "The only trouble with
prince Is" she said, that he wants
to attack anything from an elephap,
down"
A sight of interest to the people
who happen to be on the steamer
Marquoit when she leaves Little
johns landing is that of seeing four
boys dive from the top deck OF the
Marauoit just after she leaves the
landing. These boys are Arthur
i Sampson, Edward Cobb. Clifford
Cross and Louise Colomb. The boys
seem as much at home in the water
as on land

Going IL Blind.

Enver Bey got an idee of the looks
of his future bride by means of pho
tograph. This illustrates difficulty
from which the young Englishman Is
free, but which is sometimes very
amazing to the young Turk. He ought
not to see his brides face until he has
actually married her, or at the very
least until he is betrothed. The young
lady, as Duckett Ferriman points out,
can take drive and get q glimpse of
her suitors face out of doors. But her
face should remain yelled from him,
and, although he generally contrives
to get an idea of her appearance, 1t
cannot always be done. Mr.. Ferriman
mentions high officials son who was
mortified at his wedding to find his
bride brunette, when he wanted q
blonde.

Pretty Beads Made of Salt.

To make salt beads, heat two hand
fuls of common salt as hot as the
hands will stand. Warm one cupful
of cornstarch, and mix with the salt.
Take one cupful Of hot water and col
or 1t any desired shade with water
colors, and use to form paste with
the salt and corn starch.
Mold with the hands into the sized
bead required, and have large cush-
lon ready, so that when large pin is
stuck through each bead the pin can
be at once stuck into the cushion.
One can make beads all of the same
size or graduate the sizes, threading
the large ones in the middle of the
string, and smaller ones at the ends.
or groups Of large beads can be sep
arated by smaller ones.

MAY RAISE LIMIT OF
NOTE CIRCULATION
House Committee Tod Why
Reserve Board Favors Cur
renCy Amendment.

Three members of the Federal reserve
board-SeCretary McAdoo. Comptroller
Williams. and Governor Hamlin-ap-
peared before the House Committee !on
Banking and Currency today in support
of the so-called Hoke smith amendment
to the currency laws. which would per-
nit an addtiona issue of circulating
notes by national banks on their COM
mercial paper. The bill proposes that
the limit of issue on such paper shall be
20 per cent of the unimpaired capital
and surplus rather than 30 per cent.
Secretary McAdoo said the Treasury
officials were opposed to the second
section of the bill, which would author
ize State banks to share in the emer
gency issues of currency recently au-
thoriZed bv Congress. The contention
of the Federal reserve board members
is that this issue cannot be granted
banks which are not members of the
reserve system. Both sections of the
hill are in the interests of Southern cot
ton growers.
We heartily favor the first section
and oppose the second section of the
BILL" said Secretary McAdoo. whose
statement before the committee was
brief. Comptroller Williams and others
here will present the views of the de-
partment'
Comptroller Williams said the banks
of the South, where the cotton crop
is in jeopardy, do business largely on
a commercial paper basis and have
very few bonds which are available
for circulation purposes. Under the
existing law. allowing a note issue
or commercial paper of only 80 per
cent. of the unimpaired capital and
surplus. the bank has little latitude.
Mr.. Williams said the reserve board
iS tr,rn in
Southern banks because they have
only commercial paper to offer.
The Southern banks have CONNER
cial paper as a rule" said Comptroller
Williams, land you have got to give
them something on what they have.
else there will be distress"
Answering questions by committee
members. Mr.. Williams estimated that
note issue of from $50. 100000 to
5000, 900 may be made among the
banks of the cotton belt providing
the limit is increased from 20 to 20
per cent

PAPER OYSTERS STIR
INDIANA MANS IRE
Cafe Patron Rushes Through
Streets Bearing Dish to
Board of Health.

INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. 17.-When
Byrdine Howell, 40 South Gray street.
was served a plate of fried paper oya-
ters in a restaurant. he became so en-
ranged that his eyes filed with tears
and straightaway he ran from the eat
ing house with the plate of oysters
in his hand to the office of the city
board of health.
Although hundreds of visitors to the
Indiana State fair looked longingly upon
the appetizing dish as Howell ran
through the streets. he looked neither
to the right nor the left
You can't tell me thnr oysters and
paper grow together" he shouted.
Something must be done
When Howard arrived at the office of
the board he was so angry to think that
the restaurant keeper did not think he
knew the difference from a real oyster
and a paper one, he could only port
to the dish of oysters and demand an
investigation. 1t took a great amount
of arguing to convince Howell that It
was necessary for him to give his name
and tell where the sea food had been
purchased before sanitary officers could
make an investigation.
DR.. Herman G. Morgan examined the
alleged oysters and found that one of
them was nothing more than piece of
wrapping paper covered with meal and
fried Officers of the board was con-
Quoting an investigation.
Reports have reached the office of the
board to the effect that the owners of
cheap eating house have been cheating
State fair visitors. serving them with
unwholesome and sometimes food that
could not be eaten. DIR. Morgan said all
the reports he has received will be in
investigated.
