LANSING SUCCEEDS BRYAN
Appointment as Secretary of State
Meets Unanimous Approval

Robert Lansing, who, as councillor
of the state department has advised
President Wilson in law and prece-
dent in the policy pursued by the.
United States toward belligerent gov
ernments since the outbreak of the
European war, was named as secre-
tary of state to succeed William j.
Bryan.
Few appointments in recent years
have given such widespread satisfac-
ton in the national capital. Lansing
is Democrat, but he has devoted his
time to international law and diplo-
macy and is as popular with former
Republican officials as with his col
leagues.

SILK STRIPES FADDISH.

The silk sweater in stripped effects
is perhaps most favored this season.
though solid colors with contrasts in
belts, collars, cuffs or vests, come in
the greatest possible variety of at
tractive styles. The mercerized
kinds which look exactly like real
silk and cost half as much, are ex-
tremely popular and copy every

BATHING SUITS.


Following the general trend of
fashion bathing suits are more ele-
borate in cut and coloring than ever
before. Apparently no material is
too elegant, no trimming too fine to
tempt the dancing waves, and make
picture of its pretty wearer. Silks
and satins; in plain tones, vivid con-
trasting stripes, or printed floral
effects, are all used for these cos
tunes, and every conceit employed
for milady's dry land get-ups, is
repeated from scalloped edges. pip
ings, braids and fancy buttons to
contrasting lacings and Puritan col
lars in scrim that stands the salt
spray reasonably well. Small ruff
files in overlapping rows, three on
the skirt and two at the edge of the
fichu collar trim a taffeta suit in
black, purple or navy blue that has
wide plaid ribbon girdle while the
silk cap worn with this has a be-
witching garniture of rubber cher
ries, that defy sun and wave to do
their worst, but always come out
fresh and new as do the rubber
flowers that mimic almost every
known blossom.
BATHING ACCESSORIES.
sBathing suits are matched in
variety and attractiveness by the
many accessories made to go with

their effectiveness. An Unsolicited

WEED CUTTING
NOW GOING ON
SCORE OF BLACK PRISONERS
HAVE BEEN ENGAGED FOR
PAST FEW DAYS EXTERMI-
MATING RANK VEGETATION.

Weed cutting in various parts of
the city has been going on with will
during the past three or four days,
and a score or more black prisoners,
who are working along this line, have
been kept going for the past several
days. One day at the police station a
total of 134 meals were served to
prisoners, about two-thirds of whom
were weed-cutters.
To better remove these weeds after
being cut, the city has had two to
four wagons on hand to haul the cut
down vegetation to the incinerating
plant, and has let the garbage con-
tract to private contractor, this
having been done on Aug. Is.
It was explained there are no paid
laborers in the weed cutting business,
except those who look after the pris-
oners at work. There are three or
four foremen on salary.

CARGO OF PYRITES
is ON THE METLAOUI

Local interest in the plight of the
Metlaoui is above the ordinary, for the
cargo of pyrites aboard the steamer
is consigned to local importers, and
the vessel was due here week ago
Her cargo, it was stated yesterday,
has all about been contracted for, and
would have been handled here as rap
idly as possible to inland points. 1t
is understood that Birmingham and
points in Tennessee were those to
have been supplied from this vessel,
and, as stated above, preparations
had been made to discharge the prod
uct into railroad cars just as rapidly
as possible following the expected ar
rival of the vessel.
According to the above, which was
made known to shipping men last
night, the Metlaoui is stranded hard
and fast, and there is little hope for
ever getting off safely, at least for
the next few days. The cutter ITALIA
poosa goes from Mobile on her first
trip of the nature since construction,
just now having been placed in COM

MAY ORGANIZE
TOURNEY CLUBS
IN COMMUNITIES
INTEREST is GROWING IN SPORT
WHICH WAS INTRODUCED FOR
FIRST TIME IN PENSACOLA
DURING WEEK.

Tourney clubs may be organized in
all county communities very soon, ac-
cording to information which has been
conveyed to members of the commit
tee on arrangement of the last one,
which was introduced to the public
here last Friday. The plan was sug-
gested by member of the arrange
ment committee, and appears to have
been well-received by all commune
ties where the suggestion has been
made known.
indications are that there will be
some sharp riding at the next tourna-
ment if present outlook may be taken
for anything. Dozens of towns
throughout Escambia county will
probably be ready to enter team or
two in the next year tourney, and it
seems that the effort of Friday, al
though on a comparatively small
scale, was just enough to incite suffi-
Gent interest for the perpetuation of
the long abandoned sport, and before
the date of another of the kind ar
rives, it will probably be when every
community in the county will have
one or more crack-riding teams to en-
ter, and some of them have already
talked the matter up in their respec-
tive settlements

Catarrh a Blood Disease SIS.
Drives It From Your System

Because Catarrh affects the nose
and throat, causing sores in the nos
trils, stoppage of air-passages and
gathering in the throat, it has been
common practice to treat Catarrh by
lotions, washes and sprays applied to
these parts. This mode Of treatment
is entirely wrong. It cannot give per-
manent relief, and it is liable to irri-
tate and aggravate the trouble. Ca

WHITE FLY AND

PRIvET HEDGE ALSO HARBORS
DIsAGREEABLE PEST, AND

It has been definitely decided the

Uses.
The chinaberry and the California
privet are natural hosts of the white
fly just as the citrus trees are. They
afford better protection to the larvae
than the citrus trees because in groves
efforts are made to destroy the pest
while on the priYet and chinaberry it
is unmolested. Every one of these
plants affords excellent conditions for
development of the whitehy and every
one which is allowed to stand for or
which is set out is helping to prolong
the pest and make the citrus growers
fight harder.
The chinaberry is used is shade
tree, pecans, orange, magnolia or
many other good shade trees could be
substituted. The privet is planted for
hedges. The cherry laurel makes a
better hedge, according to W. L.
Floyd, professor of horticulture in the
University of Florida Of Agriculture.
1t is native shrub and lends itself
readily to pruning. It is not entirely
free from attacks by the whitefly, but
it is not liked nearly so well as is the

CITY VS. COUNTY
IN A SPELLING
MATCH At FAIR
PUPILS FROM PENSACOLA AND

LARGE WILL. COMPETE FOR
HANDSOME PRIZES.

Pupils from the city and from the
county at large will compete in a
spelling bee at the Escambia county
fair, and arrangements for this feat
ure, which gives promise of being
one of the big attractions of fair week,
were closed yesterday.
On Monday of the fair, at 4:30
o'clock in the afternoon, a spelling
match will be given in which pupils
to be selected from city schools viii
take part in. The champions of this
contest will be the ones to be pitted
against the champions of those who
take part from the county in the
spelling bee, to be held on Farmers
Day, Saturday at the fair.
1t is believed that this will be one
of the most attractive of features.
and from present outlook there viii
have to be some good spelling on the
part of the children from the city to
"down" those from the rural schools
for it was boast of the late Prof. l.
E. Allen that the country schools had
no trouble in producing the most able
spoilers, and he claimed that past rec

Teachers and school officials gen.

two days when the matches are to BIZ
pulled off, win mean probably the
