OStend Now TrembleS.

London, Oct. II, 2:15 a. ma dis
patch to the Daily Telegraph from
OStend says:
"The last two days have been hard
for Ostend, which is crowded with
refugees. They are being sent as rap
idly as possible to England.
Saturday, soon after the fall OF
Antwerp became known, Ostend was
thrown into panic by a visit from a
Zeppelin, which, however, was driven
away by the fire Of a British gun be-
hind the fort.
1.-The fear uppermost in all minds
here is of the Germans setting foot IN
Ostend. But it is difficult to see,
owing to the atnes of the country,
how the Germans can be kept away
from the remaining coast line unless
the allies make a successful turning
| movement on the main battle line.
I'VE intend to occupy the whole OF
Releium," declared General Won Lutt
WITT. German military governor OF

All the newest and most interesting

there are long, close-6tting sleeves and
there Is a high collar open at the front

over the hips. In the picture, it COM

Of wool over silk or plain silk combined
with fancy or silk combined with velvex,
for the model is one of the available
sort that can be varied again and again
yet each part,-the tunic, the skirt and
the blouse,-is simple. The skirt means
only two seams and the tunic two and the
plain blouse is arranged over the chemi-
settle and closed at the left Of the front.
The tunic and blouse are joined by means
of a narrow belt beneath the girdle and
the skirt is joined to q separate belt.

WAKE COUNTY
BETTER SCHOOLS
C0mmitteemen'S Associations
Meet in Two Places in the
County

Two meetings Of the Wake County
School COmmitteemen's Association
were held last week in the county bv
superintendent Zebulon Judd. One of
these was held on the same day, Fri
day.
There were present at the meeting
at Apex Committeeman L. S. Olive, r.
S. Barker, L. p. Upchurch, D. w.
Maynard, w. 7. Edwards, C. c. Tin
stall, A. j. Mckee and L. O. Sears.
chairman of the Board of Education.
At Fuquay there were present Com
mitteemen L. l.. H. Dupree, A. w.
Thompson, ]. r. Carter. L. C. Mann,
c. A. Ballentine, w. O. Temple, S. b.
Sauls. Mrs. j. II. Seasons, T. A. Holt,
r. v. Murray, NJ. j.. Stevens, Prof.
w. L. Wright, Principal Of the Flu
quay school,.
Among the topics of the meetings
were better school houses and equip
ment, length of school terms, teach
ers salaries, teacher efficiency, local
tax, betterment work, compulsory law
n county commandments.
Both meetings were a unit in the
thought that the school term should be
long enough for the pupils to make
one grade each ear MIR. Judd stat
ed hat the average time necessary
for making one grade was eight
months. A great many of the schools
represented ran last year from even
and a a to eight months.
Mr.. Carter, OF Holly Springs, ad-
vanced the idea that the parents who
think that they can spare their chill
dren from the home for only five or
six months in the year are controlled
by a mere habit of the mind and with
forethOught, planning n a bit Of sac
rifice, maybe they will be able to spare
them for a much longer period OF
time.
1t was the consensus Of opinion,
expressed at both meetings that a
eighteen per cent of the children O.
the ages from eight to twelve on tn,
census were not enrolled in the school
last year and as the average attend
ance was very low, the compulsory
attendance law must be rendered moe
effective.

Emerson's Idea Of Dreams.

Emerson's claim that even in the
dreams Of the night we are carried
forward, accords with all that science
or philosophy can unfold touching the
onward march of being. It Is true that
1t is for the active mind that he be-
speaks this gain and 1t is in the re-
freshing ministry Of sleep to mans
mind and body that its purpose in hui
man life is commonly found. To nurse
and refresh him for further use Of his
powers is the meaning Of sleeps mis-
sion in general acceptation and car
ried to fulfillment little more could be
asked Of It. Nothing surely II IL
could enfold that sleep Of death in its
redeeming logic. For truly II after
life's fitful fever man sleeps we'll Il
must be. as Browning SO clearly dis.
Germs, that he sleeps to wake" to the
grander use Of his powers In the life
more large. Nor should he fear to hnd
himself of Just such stun az his dreams
were made Of.

How He Could Find Out.

Henry Irving, in his early days.
once played a part which In the first
act called for q dark stage. In this
darkness he fought with an old earl,
threw him heavily and, when he did
not rise after the loud thud Of his
fail, Irving would cry out:
Great heavens! What have I
done?"
One night he played the part in a
small English town. A stage hand
was very much impressed with the
play and to him scenes quickly be-
came real. So that when Irving
reached the climax, felled the old earl
to the ground and spoke the line.
Great heavens! What have ! done?"
he was startled to hear the stage hand
say in a loud voice:
Strike a match and well have a
look"

ashamed of showing to his friends. Do
the best you can for me. That's all"
The last words were addressed to
Miss Smith exclusively, but she con.
scientiously embodied them in the
body OF the letter, which unfortunately
escaped subsequent perusal, because
there was a pile OF correspondence
that day and Mr.. Rogers picked up
two letters together and only signed
the top one.
The letter duly reached Miss Mary
Burton In London. Miss Burton had
selected particularly fine assortment
of goods that spring, but when she re-
ceived Mr.. Rogers communication she
did not go to Huddersfeld. On the
contrary she sat down and stared at
the letter for about five minutes; and
then the strong-minded, capable busi'
ness woman burst into tears.
Her employer was evidently going
insane. She had come to regard her
work as something more than employ
msnt; she had an interest in the sue
cess of the business second only to ner
interest in Mr.. Rogers. 1t wae not
like him to write In that way; In fact,
~ he were in his right mind he could
not possibly have done SO.

she decided to take the next boat pack

Of her impending downfall Miss Bur.

Mr.. Rogers and Miss Burton were
accustomed to greeting each other
more as old friends. but when Miss
Burton clasped both her employers
hands in hers and asked him, In

Mr.. Rogers was little startled. More
than that, he was q little pleased at

"But you wrote me" began Miss
