A becoming gown Of Burgundy duve-
tyn has been sketched here and offers
many pleasing suggestions for a pretty
afternoon toilet. The simple blouse is
cut to show wide expanse of waistcoat,
the latter heavily embroidered in Bur-
edged collar Of the material is supple
mented by an inner one Of lace. Folds
of Burgundy velvet are laid just under
the edge of the blouse opening and vel
vet cuffs show below a band Of fur on
the sleeve. The soft girdle Is of self
tone satin. The skirt slightly draped has
a seam directly down the front. The hat
worn with this was covered with Bur-
gundy velvet and trimmed with a lace
chenille butterfly.

crossed the desert from Haran 1000
years ago this city was standing. (See
Gen. 14:16 and 1922 She dates back
to the time Of the Pharaohs in Egypt;
in fact, she was old when Greece and
Rome were striplings in years. Rome
may be termed the Eternal City,"
but Damascus is twice as old. and
though her streets have run red with
blood Of battle and rapine many
times, she has not been overthrown.
Babylon is an heap in the desert
and Tyre q ruin on the Shore" but
Damascus remains.
Was there ever such a place to see

JACOBS CELEBRATES
GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY
Aged Couple Pleasantly
Surprised By Masonic
Friends.

Sunday was an e~ventful day
in the lives of Mr.. and Mrs.
Solomon Jacobs, long residents
Of this city, who celebrated their
golden jubilee, being married
fifty years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacobs did moi
send out any invitations, as ii
was expected to have only the
family gather around the festive
board, but friends of the family
and members of the Masonic or
der went to the home, surprising
the aged couple to extend hearty
congratulations.
The celebrants received from
their children gold pieces in de-
nominations ranging from $3.50
to $40, and a loving cup from
Mr.. and Mrs. Edey Cenekamp of
New Orleans; in many letters
best wishes were sent to Mr..
and Mrs. Jacobs while numer-
GUS kilograms of congratulations
were received.
The pretty home of the ia
cobs family was beautifully
decorated in gold colors and
everything was in it's proper
place when the Masons marched
from the lodge and the good
wishes of the order, of which
Mr.. Jacobs is the oldest local
member, were uttered by Hon.
Leon S. Haas; after Mr.. Haas
speech all members present
added their wishes of a long and
happy life.
A special SIS gold coin, made
fifty years ago was presented to
Mr.. Jacobs by his brother Ma
sons as a token of not only be-
ing married fifty years but for
being a Mason for over fifty
years.
The feature of the evening
was the exhibition by Mrs. ia
cobs of the dress she wore on
her wedding day and afew heir
looms that were given Mr.. and
Mrs. Jacobs on their first step
on their matrimonial journey.
Among the children present
were Misses Yetta and Hannah

Reflections

Bringing the University to the
people, is a phrase much on the
lips of men these days. When
many of us older fellows were
young the University seemed a
long distance off and its benefits
were considered to be reserved
mainly for the exclusive few.
The dead languages, belle let
tiers, and mental philosophy
ranked high and agriculture was
vulgar.
You'll never be President of
the United States" screamed a
red-faced teacher expostulating
with a dullard in her class; the
pillow for you" But to-day it is
different. The University is
near to US. Practical work and
agricultural science. vie with
Latin and Greek in the curricula
of the schools, and the man who
is a real farmer lets his heart go
out in sympathy for the poor man
who is condemned by his people
to the drudgery and slavery of
the Presidential Office.
Just think how many good
farmers have been spoiled to
make Presidents!
And the University is coming
nearer to the people. Professor

people want them two, three
