WOMEN OF PARIS
KNIT FOR TROOPS
Abandon Fashion Parade To Aid
Soldiers at Front
PARIS. Oct. 1S.

FAttIS, oct. IS.
In all Partisan metamorphoses brought
about by the war no greater change Is
noticeable than that which has occurred
in the last few days in the city's most
beautiful thorouShfare the Avenue des
Champs Elysees. While khaki has taken
the place of silks and satins at Maxim's,
that restaurant now being patronized oy
officers OF the Headquarters stan instead
OF by chorus girls, and while the Mont
martre resorts have long since closed,
such changes were to be expected when
the entire nation shOuldered arms.
But the change in the Champs Elysees
was slower, more indefinite, subtle and
surprising.
This street where the fashionable set
were rivals in glorious display, contiu-
ues to be the parade ground of the city
But instead Of a procession OF motors
containing dainty Parisiennes wrapped
in costly turs and moving slowly. so
that the world atoot might envy and
admire, there is now another but swift
procession of motor vshicles. They fly
two kinds on hags-one the pennant Of
the service militaire, the other the Red
Cross AS the ajortty of the cars
Tequisittoned once formed a part OF that
Rn+e-bellum procession, the change is not
- noticeable.
At first the fashionable folk still oc-
eupied chairs under the trees lining the
walks. always in beautiful toIlets-last
years styles not nearly worn out. But
with the first breath OF real autumn
during the last week they found new
occupation. One can now see them in
scores sitting under the trees busily bend
ing over their hands. for they are knit

that the exemption was a violation of

United States, he said, was the eX-
emption regarded as debatable or
open to question. He said that he
had not come to congress to deliver
his personal views but that consid-
crationS of justice and wisdom led
him to believe that the proviso
should be repealed without delay. The
president added: The United States
ought no. to .uibblc in the matter of

that the Panama canal tolls question
was involved in all other foreign qucs-

NO COLLEGE DEMOCRACY.
Editor Says There Is no Such Thing
as Democracy I'm College Life-SOngs
not Laws Make College.

New Haven. March 5.--Democracy
In American universities is @ delu-
sion, Edwin +. Slosson. literary editor
OF the. Independent and author Of
Great American Universities" told
an audience OF prominent educators
from all parts Of the country here to-
day. The occasion was the eleventh
annual convention of the Religious
Education Association which began
four day session here today.
"The two things that every collie
gian, speaking Of his alma mater. is
apt to boast about are the superla-
tive beauty Of it's campus and its
unique democratic spirit" said Mr..
Slosson. by democracy, however is
sometimes meant merely the compare
tive OF the distinctions upon which
aristocracy is based in the outside
world, such as wealth and family.
The substitution of collegiate aristo-
cracy where the line is drawn be-
tween sophomores and freshmen,
Greeks and Barbarians or classical
and scientific students is commonly
overlooked.
IF the college did prepare the stu
dent for life i'm n democratic society
where on earth would he find the
society Tor which he had prepared t?
WHO indeed would suspect that the
universities had any intention to in
culcate a spirit of democracy when
he sees the academic procession file
through the Gothic hall robed in the
costume of the medieval student
guild and arranged in hierarchial or
der in strict accordance with ira
ditional system.
1T is common for boys who are
fully prepared for college at an early
age to be held back by their parents
for year or two for fear of subject
ing them too young to the influence
of college life On the other hand
complaint is made that the age of
graduation is too high. This much
lauded college life is thus the cause
of double loss o. time. 1t acts both
as detriment and retarder. 1t
prevents the student from entering as
young as he might and it absorbs a
large proportion OF his time in col
lege.
THE students conduct is governed
more by the standards of his class
mates than by the rule of the faculty.

Were | to organize a temperance

they are making drunkards of men.

you young men who abuse the
confidence of parents and take a girl

drink, ! warn YOU. Do not, if YOU
value your happiness, do not marry
such q girl.
Married people set the example by
frequehting cabarets and serving in
toxicants in their homes. According
to eminent medical authority, the So
cial punch-bowl is the cause of 80
per cent OF the drink habit among So
ciety women.
The remedy lies i'm total abstinence,

own sake and for the sake of others
who may be weaker than you are."--

One of the parties sent out by the
department of Agriculture and Glenn
son College, for the purpose of show
ing how practical agriculture may be
taught, in the schools that have the
three acre demonstration plots con-
nected with them, will be in Sumter
County next Monday, Tuesday, and
wednesday, ninth, tenth and eleventh
OF March, The speakers will be with
the Oswego school Monday, with
Dalzell Tuesday, and wind up at
Bethel Wednesday.
The meeting will be opened at Os-
wegO at 1890; at Dalzell as soon as
the train arrives, and at Bethel at II
O'Clock. We have been assured of
some good speakers.
The team will be Mr.. w. II. Bar
ton, Assistant State Agent in the
Farm Demonstration work; Mr.. L. l..
Baker, District Agent and either Hon.
o. b. Martin, from Washington, Prof
w. w. Long, the state Agent, and
Supt. Of Extension Work, or Prof. A.
f. Conradi. Those of you who at
tended our institutes at Mr.. S. j.
Whites. and Privateer, probably re-
member Mr.. Barton.
Everybody living within reach of
these schools is cordially invited to
attend one of these meetings. In
fact they are regular institutes i'm
miniature form.
l understand that the wide-awake
School Improvement Association of
Dalzell is to have a meeting on the
same day that the Clemson party is
to be there. Dalzell has already built
herself one of the most handsome
school buildings in the rural districts
of Sumter county and under the en-
thusiastic leadership of the Misses
Napier we expect all the movements
for lettering their condition to sue
ceed.
The Bethel school has the reputa-
ton Of always winning the things
that they go after. The pupils Of this
school were very much in evidence
when ii came to going after the Glenn
son and Winthrop scholarships last
year. In fact l think that they were
a little greedy, for ] have been in
formed that they took everything in
sight. Then everybody knows what a
reputation this school established in
the County School Day Contest cor
the past two years.
The Oswego community is great
community, perfectly devoted TO its
school. | have been told that they
pay the highest tax for the mainten-
ance of their school OF any rural dis
trict in the country.
Naturally we expect great things
from these three schools and hope
10 see the teaching of practical agri-
culture Developed in these schools,
so that the boys and girls growing
up in these communities will appre-
ciate the dignity of intelligent labor
and be devoted to farm life.
