WHITE SOCKS in FASHION SOON.

Local clothing merchants are re-
ceiving advices from manufacturers
that the supply of fast dye stuffs on
the market is being rapidly diminished
and that until Germany gets into
shape to manufacture and export its
dyes they can under no circumstances
guarantee the fastness of the colors.
Germany is the only country able to
manufacture dyes that can with safety
be warranted fast. With the possibili-
ty of using logwood dyes ahead of
them the manufacturers are liable to
make large amount of their product
entirely uncolored and white suits and
stockings may be quite the vogue be-
fore the end of the war.

"MARY PHAGAN SPEAKS"
(From Detroit News.)

(From Detroit News.)
The poet sees thing clearly-too
clearly sometimes for our clOuded
sight. And the sting of their words
drive us from the truth
they see. Who could have said the
truth more Straightforward or with
more insight than Mary White Owing
ton says it in her poem, MARY Phagan
Speaks" which appears in the pages
of "The New Republic
"You care lot about me, you men
of Georgia, now that | am dead.
You have spent thousands of dol
lars trying to learn who mutilat-
ed my body.
You have filled the columns of the
newspapers with the story of my
wrong.
You have broken into prison and
murdered a man that l might be
avenged.
But what did you care for me when
I was alive?
l was a child, but you shut me out
of the daylight.
You held me within four walls
watching a machine that crashed
through the air.
Endlessly watching a knife as 1t
cut piece of wood.
Noise fills the place-nOise, dust
and the smell of oil.
l wish some of the thousands of dol
lars that you spent on the trial
might have kept me in school.
A real school, the kind you build for
the rich.
Why did you despise me living, and
yet love me so now?
I think | know. 1t is like what the
preacher told me about Christ:
People hated Him when He was
alive,
But when He was dead they killed
man after man for His sake"
