FIRST CONGRESS

. The first congress of the American colonies was convened in New York just 8 century and a half ago today, Oct ', 1765. The purpose of the convention was to consider the Stamp Act, Greville's obnoxious scheme of taxation. The congress was organ ized by the choice of Timothy Rug g1es of Massachusetts, as chairman. Delegates were present from Massa- chusetts, New York, New, Jersey. Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, DeYa- ware, Conneeticut, Maryland and South Carolina, among them being several men afterward distinguished as statesman and patriots. The con- gress continued it's sessions for two weeks and adopted a Proclamation of Rights written by John Cruger; a Petition to the King, by Robert R. Livingston, and a Memorial to Both Houses of Parliament" from the pen of James Otis In all these documents the principles which governed the leaders in the revolution soon after wards were conspicuous. The prot ceedings received the assent of all the delegates excepting Timothy RuggIes of Massachusetts and Robert Ogden of New Jersey, who were afterwards active IoyaIists.

Hoosiers Will Honor Bard
 By Observing Riley Day"

George Ade, Meredith Nicholson, David Graham Phillips, Booth Tark- ington, Joaquin Miller and a host of other sons of Indiana have helped to make the Hoosier school of liter ature famous throughout the world, but today the people of that state will joinsins honoring the greatest of all Hoosiers, James Whitcomb Riley. In issuing his proclamation designating the seventh of October as Riley Day.. the governor urged a general observance in honor of sIndiana's most beloved citizen.'' The movement for celebrating the beloved poets Birthday began in 191 3, when the pub lie schools of Indianapolis held exer- .cises appropriate to the day. Last year many schools throughout the state followed the example, and to- day old as we'll as young Hoosiers will participate in the Riley Day. giving for all admirers of the Hoosier bard, for it is announced that he is gaining in health, after having suf- fered a para1ytic stroke some four years ago which threatened his life.

His father, Reuben Riley, was a we1I-to- do lawyer and business man, and in tended to make a professional man of Jimmy The latter didn't take kindly to the prospect, and, while he was supposed to be boring over Black stone, he was in reality scribbling rhymes on the, margins of the pages. The boy had an extreme dislike for school, and to this day his education in many branches is inferior to that of a grammar school boy. He often played hockey and finally he ran away from home and became an itinerant sign-painter. Later he joined a wandering theatrical com pany, and attained considerable pro- .ficiency in recasting old dramas and inaprovising comic songs. His his trionic experience later served him in good stead when he went on the platform and recited his own poems Sir Henry Irving declared that Amer ica, lost it's greatest acter when Riley abandoned the stage for literature. It was forty years ago that Riley began contributing verse and prose to the newspapers and magazines, and join ed the staff of an Indianapolis paper. Since then he has produced many volumes of inimitable verse and has gained worldwide fame

The literary critics may not give the highest rank to the poems of James Whitconb Riley. Yet the school chill dren never paraded for some of the men they praise more highly. Nor were their poems read in thousands of schools on one day, as happened on MT. Riley's birth-day Oct '.

feel ure that the cover could be made
up at home at little cost.
The filling is of the softest down, so
in most cases that must be bought, but
In regard to the slip, this being a
c~olored-silk year, the cuttings left over
from the new frocks will furnish suf-
hcient material.
The shape of the pillow is round and
measures 20 inches in circumference.
To make the slip requires two rounds
of silk, each measuring eight inches.
These form the centers back and front
and are connected by three strips of
silk, not necessarily of the same color.
Two strips must be of the same width
and length and must be cut a few
inches longer than the circumference
of the rounds. One edge is gathered to
fit the rounds and is sewed down, one
to the back and the other to the front
round. The next strip must be longer
thar the first two and the same width
Or not. Both edges are shirred and
are sewed down to the free edges of
the strips already secured to the
rounds. This creates a kind of round
ed, slightly puffy looking cover. Of
course, if n has sufficient silk of one
color three strips of a uniform width
OF four inches would cut all the
strips. If scraps on hand must be
used up it might happen that the cen
ter strip must be wider or narrower
than the two they connect. This is
immaterial. All that is necessary is to
get a strip II inches wide after the
three are Joined. In putting strips of
silk of different color together they
should contrast or harmonize.
Next comes the decoration. This
may be anything the maker p~leases. A
square of gold lace trimmed around
with a narrow frill of the same lace is
very effective over a bright cover. A
dolly in cluny lace, ornamented with
chiffon rosebuds, is another textbook
ing combination.
Those making up pillows may like to
know that the round, the egg-shaped
and the oblong r the favored mod
els. The square pillow is considered
out of date. One of the most popular
shapes is fashioned exactly like a min
iature bolster. 1t is a very comfort
able pillow, too. The pillows for the
baby carriage are slightly oblong, just
a little longer than the width, but
those for general use are distinctly
long.-Lillian Young, in the Washing
ton Star.

With such testimony on all sides
can we deny that there is a bright
side to war? 1t does not mean for a
moment that wal is not a cursed thing
in itself, SO was the Cross; it was def
nitely cursed. Still the war may
redeem the world; it may give a taste
for public duty which may die
away; it may weld classes together

Such handkerchiefs are worn with
