No skirt could be easier to make than
this one and none prettier to wear with
one of the long basques or one of the deep
girdles that make such features of
autumn and winter styles. The skirt is
perfectly straight below the yoke and
gathered at the upper edge; therefore, it
can be used for bordered materials and for
houncings as well as forplain or striped
goods. Handsome materials are always
at their best when made on simple lines.
The season shows a wonderful variety of
fabrics and anything that is soft enough
to be gathered can be treated in this way.
The possibilities of the skirt in combina-
sion with basque or fancy bodice finished
with deep girdle are numberless. For a
dancing gown, a deep lace founce over
skirt Of charmeuse would be beautiful or
charmeuse satin would be pretty with a
basque or girdle of velvet and there are
various other suggestions that might be
made.
For the medium size, the skirt viii
require 319 yds. of material ~, az yds. SO
or "A in. wide. The width Of the skirt at
the lower edge is yd. and 81 in.
The pattern 84o7 is cut in sizes from "a
to 81 inches waist measure. 1t will be

partment of this paper, on receipt OF ten

Victrola Course to
Aid Music Study
at Central High

Professor Edward G. Rose, instruc-
tor of music at Central High, has in
augurated a Victrola course in school.
The instrument presented to the
school by the class of 1914 is being
used. The course is intended not only
to develop the voice but to arouse an
interest among the students in music
and to teach them to appreciate good
music. 1t instructs them in a knowl-
edge of the different instruments of
the orchestra and band, and enables
them to determine different voices.
Professor Roses method Is to explain
a certain idea of music, illustrate it
by the Victrola, give notes to the
pupils, and then quiz" them.
Special music by the choir and a
Victrola concert were features of
chapel exercises yesterday.
The Girls Athletic Association met
in the auditorium with the president,
Miss Lillian Kamsky, in the chair. A
short talk was given by Miss Edna
Bowers. Miss Mary Orth, of the fac
ulty, spent Monday afternoon and
evening at the bungalow of Mr.. and
Mrs. Harvey e. Knupp, on the noun
tain side at Dauphin. Tuesday even

bers of all classes have been invited.

Mary Louden, Silver Spring,
Has Disappeared From Home
Special to The Telegraph

Mechanicsburg. Pa, Oct. 16.-An
effort is being made by Mr.. and Mrs.
A. ]. Loudon. of Silver Spring town
ship, to locate their 16-year-old daugh-
ter Mary. who quietly packed some
of her clothes and left her home on
September 16. Despite all efforts OF
the family no trace of her where
abouts has been discovered. AS she
was not dissatisfied with her home
life, her parents cannot understand
the reason for her departure. 1t was
thought at first that she had slipped
away to visit relatives. but letters from
them dispelled that hope. Mr.. Loudon
will be glad for any information that
will assist in locating his daughter.

ly nKed her. Said the first speaker:
"Oh, Grace is we'll enough If only
she weren't so affected"
rs she affected? l didn't know
that, but, of course, she is awfully
selfish about sharing her good times
with her younger sisters" exclaimed
the second girl.
Really? Well no wonder she has
good times" added girl number three
righteously. "She runs after all the
influential rich people who will enter
tain her"
Then up spoke the fourth. ''I didn't
know she bothered to cater to any one
but the men. and goodness knows she
is forward enough with them"
And each of us had learned some
new, unpleasant thing about Grace to
add to any personal criticism we
might have made of her in the silence
of our own hearts. But in addition
too all this the girl who had never
met her was prejudiced against her,
and those of us who liked her best
could scarcely help wondering if all
this smoke could be without any fire.
So easily is the bubble reputation
pricled. And as lightly as a good
reputation is destroyed, so easily is
a bad one created out of mere bub-

zles blown by idle and thoughtless
people.
The malicious soul who deliberately
slanders another is fairly a murderer.
He takes a good name. and whether it
be mere theft or killing that he in
dulges in to pass the time and sat
isfy his own spiteful nature, the re-
suit of his work is equally cruel and
harmful.
But people who do this are so de-
spicable that they destroy their own
influence. Everyone fears them. No
one trusts them. Consequently the
person of whom they tell their evil
tales is in some wise protected, be-
cause every one knows how little
scandalmonger.
But words are such dangerous
weapons. They lodge somewhere and
work harm when their presence is
almost forgotten. Some day you may
remember what you have heard
breathed against some one, even
though you have forgotten whether
or not the person who said 1t is
reputable authority and to be trusted.
Don't get the habit of insinuating
things against people. Don't tell of
the weaknesses and follies of the peo-
pie you know. Each time you call a
new persons attention to a fault in a
mutual acquaintance, you definitely
hurt their standing in the community.
Lightly and easily people destroy
good names that they can never re-
store. For lack of something better
to talk about, we destroy one an
others credit and standing in the
community. And what does it profit
us to take away a reputation? Peo-
pie began to doubt and question us
as gossips and ill-natured individuals
of whom it Will be we'll to beware,
And we have nothing gained except
a sour and warper viewpoint that
enjoys hearing the worst of human
nature and thinking more evil than
it has heard

Don't Take CaiOmel
Here's A Better Remedy

Taking calomel is mighty risky and
often times dangerous.
You ought to get along without TAX
ing calomel yourself or giving it to
YOUR family, when you can get a rem
edy that takes its place. Dodson's
Liver Tone is an agreeable vegetable
LIQUID that starts the liver to action
just as surely as calomeI does. But
unlike calomel. Dodson's Liver Tone
does not stimulate the liver too much.
1t gives relief gently. Calomel acts Sc
strongly that it may leave you worse
than you were at first, and ca!omel also
sometimes causes salvation. Dodsoa' S
Liver Tone works well and never
harms.
\ large bottle of Dodson's Liver
Tone is sold for fifty cents by Dickson
Drug Store. 1t always has given such
perfect satisfaction that your money
will be given back to you with a smile

THE WORLDS WATER POWER
Forces That May Be Utilized When
Our Coal Is All Gone.


The following figures may prove Of
interest to those fearing the eIhaus-
ton Of the worlds coal supply, says
the American Machinist. In a sum-
mary Of the water power of the world
the possible horsepower Of France is
estimated at 4,5O0,O00, Of which only
100000 is utilized. About an equal
amount Of power is available in Italy,
but only 10000 horsepower is utilized.
Falls Of 10000 horsepower are abun-
dant in the Alps.
The estimate in Switzerland is in
complete. but about 100000 horsepower
Is in use. Germany has 100000 horse
power available, with 100000 applied.
Norway has 100000 horsepower avail
able, with a large part already deyei-
oped. In Sweden there is 763,0O0 horse
power available.
The resources Of Russia are estimat-
ed at 100000 horsepower, Of which
only $1,000 has been developed. The
United States Is credited with 100000
horsepower, while Japan has 100000,
Of which 10000 has been exploited. In
India $4,000 horsepower has already
been developed, mostly at a consider
able distance from any industrial cen
ter. In Great Britain there is 10000
horsepower already utilized. and an
equal amount IL Spain.

ALGERIANS ARE LIARS.
They May Tell the Truth at Times, but
You Are Never Sure.

They May Tell the ruth at INES, ous
YOU Are Never Sure.
The chief fault Of the native Alge-
rians seems to be certain prediction
for lying. It appears to be an instine-
tive desire to deceive, not SO pT5ch for
the sake Of profit as for tho sake Of de-
ception. Albert Edwards, in "The Bar
barry Coast" tells US that be asked his
French host why one Of his workmen
wore green braid on his tNrbans, since
in Persia only those who have made
the pilgrimage to Mecca are thus at
tired
"Mahammedw my host called. The
tall, dignified native left his plow and
came over to Us.
"Have you been to Mecca" NJ. Gar
det asked in Arabic.
"No. Sidi," the Arab said and went
back to his work.
"He says No." N. Gardet translated
to me. But like as not he has been
there six times. If they would always
lie you could understand them. But
sometimes they tell the truth. Perhaps
he hasn't been there. If I should ask
six Of my workmen about it three
would say that Mohammed had been
to Mecca, three would say he hadn't" !"
So I stopped asking my host ques-
tlons about the Arabs. But IN all the
time l have been in Algeria I have
never found Frenchman who felt diff
ferently about It Guy de Maupassant,
whose eyes pierced so deeply through
the lies Of French life, could not fathom

Riggs states that he is expecting be-
tween 1000 and 1900. An attractive
program has been arranged and no de-
tail looking to the comfort and pleas
ure OF the visitors will be overlooked.
The expected number Of old students
will tax to the utmost the capacity o;
the dormitories, dining hall and Me

son. as well as the fact that the Home
Coming" is family affair." none but
ex-students are invited or be permitted

the Home Coming" This rule will
be strictly observed.
Other visitors are welcome to the
College campus at any other time.
This announcement is made in ad-
vance so that none bat ey-students will
make their plans 10 visit the College
during the "Home Coming" Posi-
lively no accommodations can be offer.
ed to others at that time.
The Home Coming" is a strictly
college affair, commemorating the
18th anniversary of the Act of Accept

a Product Not Of Brain or Heart, but
of the Nervous System.
To Galen IS ascribed the belief that
the brain was the seat Of the rational
soul, the heart the location Of courage
and fear, and the liver that Of love.
This distribution Of the element Of per
sora!ity over the physical body finds
its expression in the common speech OF
.oday. particularly in relation to the
heart. which is widely accepted by the
popular mind us the source Of the more
tender emotions.
It was chiefly through the anatomists
and plIysiologists> of the early renais-
sance that. the modern movement,
which has tended to limit personality
to the nervous system. was seriously
begun, movement which. with the In
crease of knowledge, has gained sup
port to such an extent that 1t can now
be maintained beyond any reasonable
doubt.
Human personality is in no true sense
the outcome Of the non-nerVous organs,
such as the digestive or the circulatory
organs, but is the direct product Of the
nervous system. This system, to DO
sure. is embedded among the other or
gans of the body. and the environment
thus provided influences profoundly IT'S

dullness Of sense, quiclness or slowness
Of action. temperamental traits, such
as Il gloomy or bright disposition, In
capacity. shiftlessness. honesty. thrift
ness or sweetness, are all, strictly
speaking, functions Of the nervous Or
gans.
Although only the higher animals
can be said to possess personality In
this sense, traces Of it occur IN the
lower forms, and its evolution is In
dissolubly connected with that OF the
nervous system.-Professor G. q. Par
