Prison Editors Steal
The News, is Charge

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 14.-Plag-
iarism exists everywhere, even In
side prison walls. according to the
current issue of Good Words, a
monthly newspaper published by the
inmates of the Atlanta federal pris-
on, which charges three state prls-
on papers with using matter from
Good Words without giving that pub
location credit. Their editors are de.
clared to be unworthy to be in q
United States prison.
I'VE presume there are some will
l;nely dishonest people behind pris-
on walls, but we believe the most OF
the editors are trying to play the
game" the local editor concludes.

PANTALETTES HERE!
DAINTY, FRLLY, LACY
1915 Summer Girl Will Look
Like Illustration From Go
dey's Ladies' Book.

Pantalettes are herei The dainty, frilly,
lacy kind that hang down around the
ankles with a 'Ioslng-'em" effect; the
identical sort that our grandmothers used
to wear when they sat on their verandahs
and 1lrted outrageously with the young
cavaliers of the country side.
Judging from the costumes which the
shops are selling for summer wear, the
1915 Summer Girl will look exactly like
and If they become as popular as the
fashion arblters predict, Chestnut street
is going to be the most picturesque thor
oughfare imaginable in a few months
time
Already these quaint little additions to
the feminine toilet have made their ap-
pearance. At n recent dance at the Penn
Charter School several attractive young
girls wore them and were the envy of
every other skirt on the floor, but 1t is
not expected that they will be generally
accepted until the warm weather calls
forth summer dresses.
And will these "panties" really be ac-
Cepted by the fair sex? Will the women
take to them as they took to the slit skirt
and leg-o-mutton sleeve? Why not? Hear
what the creator of one of these cos
tunes has to say on the subject:
"The only thing that might serve to
keep the hoop skirt and pantalette style
from becoming excessively popular is
the increase in laundry which 1t will en-
tail. When properly worn the little
boomers come down as far as the ankles
where they are tied with cunning lit
tie bow of black velvet Several ruffles
then fall gracefully over the instep.
Naturally II the streets are none too
clean II will be necessary to have large
stock of the pantalettes on hand. How
ever, for the seashore and for evening
wear they will be adopted, am sure.
after the success of the huge Merry
Widow hat, the hobble skirt and other
hideous and extreme styles there is no
reason to believe that this picturesque
one will be given the gO-by. And another
point expected 10 weigh in its favor is
that 1t is not only Made in America
style, but Is really an historical cos
tune and was worn here years ago"

SOCIETY SCION FINDS
JOY IN HELPING POOR
Langdon Jones, Harvard Grad
uate, Pleads for Sympathy
for "Down and Outs"

IT find more recreation in assisting
fellow who needs help than in seeing
football game Young men possessing
wealth should be interested in the well
fare of the poor just as much as In auto
MODELLING, fishing, hunting and visiting
clubs. Lack of sympathy towards the
man who is in Il hard pinch is chiefly re-
sponsible for certain social conditions"
Looking down at a group of emaciated
forms of homeless men who were seated
in the Wayfarers Lodge. at 1'2O Lombard
street, Johr Langdon Jones' % years Old
a Harvard graduate, and the scion OF an
old Philadelphia family, made this state
! ment today.
Mr.. Jones is the son of Mrs, Lila Lang
Myers, of RoXborough, vino is daugh-
ter of the late John Lang, who was a
wealthy paper manufacture1 IN this city
Since last fall Mr. Jones has given up
society for settlement work He is az
sistant social secretary of the Wayfmers
Lodge.
Club life and society do not appeal to
Mr.. Jones. He spends all his spare time
among the down and outs" who daily
wander into the red brick house at Lon1-
bard and 18th streets. He can be found
there at all hours of the day. When net
in his office he mingles with young and
| old men In the recreation room. lie ls
| always reedy to listen to tale of woe
and give advice,
| In Mr.. Jones opinion lack of sympathy
towards the poverty-stricken is directly
responsible for deplorable social coudi-
tions in .his city. He believes that the
sons of wealthy families should become
| interested in settlement work, so that
| they can be of some service to their
! fellow man.
Daily Mr.. Jones leaves his home at
Ridge avenue and Martin street. in )toX-
borough. to make the journey to the lth
Ward. He is usually out of bed long be-
| fore o'clock IN the morning.
| II find a great deal of JOY and happi-
ness" said Mr.. Jones. "in spending my
time here with men who are up against
| 1t, ] believe that the young men of to-
| day ought to become interested in doing
something towards helping humanity just
as much as the middle-aGed and elderly
men.
"There are many causes responsible for
| poverty From what I have seen since
l have been at the Wayfarers' Lodge. II
strikes me that II is the environment
which is responsible for many cases OF
poverty which are brought to our atten-
tion daily
There are many fellows working In this
city at different trades who have no one
TO sympathize with them or take an In
terest I'm their career, II is the same
with the fellow who wanders into tnts
city from different parts OF the country
In search of employment. OFTEN these
men tramp about the streets for days and
nights without any person giving them
a helping hand
II was never football player when In
college, but / was a good rooter. would
much rather spend my time down in the
7th Ward helping a down and out than
in watching a football game or attending

SPIRITUAL VALUE IN FAST
Bishop Rhinelander Discusses 1t in
Lenten Address.


The Rt Rev. Philip NJ. Rhinelander,
bishop of Pennsylvania, explained the me-
cessity of fasting during the Lenten sea-
son at the monday service for business
people at Christ Church, I'd street above
Market, today. Continuing his sermon
of yesterday noon. he said fasting Is of
immense spiritual Importance to the body.
"The motive" said the bishop, ''ls a
display of respect, honor and reverence
through the body for God. The object is
to receive inward spiritual effect to over
come the opposition of the body to the
teachings of the Scriptures. There Is an
element of revolt on the part of the body
and this weakness must be made strong
There are two points, the negative and
the positive. The negative is to cut out
all evil opposition TO fasting In order to
derive the benefit of spiritual self-denial.
Then, too, we cut off our unwholesome
amusement.
"On the other hand, there must be ex-
ercise, such exercise as will make the
body wholesome and pure. We should
pray more, make better preparation for
prayer and give more literally to charity.
In short, to fast properly we should make
the body really free by Harvesting it."

The speaker mentioned no names, but
let It be inferred that materlalistlc phi

been adopted by ministers Of various
churches in this city who opposed Billy

"Churchmen under the sway OF ma

other churchmen, he declared. accept

have learned from Wordsworth ana
Browning that spirit is superior to mat
