Your Room. like any other forthput.
ting, indicates your soul.
There Is something that betrays you
in the photographs on your dresser. In
the motto on the wall, in the hang Of the
curtains. and in the way you turn the
piano.
The amount of money spent upon
adornment makes little difference; a
Room may be interesting though poor,
and abominable though rich, just as with
folks.
Among Rooms we have all met, let
there be noted az the Homebody's
Room, where every article of furniture
bespeaks love in purchase and comfort in
use. The minute you see that old sofa
you know it was not bought at store.
but was either handed down by Aunt
Maria or picked out at an auction or q
secondhand shop. II was not bought
because it was needed, but because some
one fell in love with it. There Is q bird
or cat or q flower in the Homebody's
Room, because the occupant loves ties
and routine duties.
Just the opposite is (2) the Hotellish
Room. Everything in it is for anybody,
hence attractive to nobody. No matter
how deep the cushioning Of the arm
chairs and how elaborate the carving of
the table legs, how pretty the mantel
clock, and how rare the framed prints,
it all smites you as heartlessly as q
painted woman. II is about as per-
sonal as common carrier and as honey
as a mausoleum.
The Room (3) with geranium bloom
ing in the window tells of certain kind
of woman. For there be women for
whom no plant will grow.
The az Cluttered Room Ats the
tousled soul. Wall covered with infinite
pictures, cards, ornaments: bureau
strewn so thick with toilet implements
and bric-a-brac that it looks like
department store counter; chairs, tables,
lamp stands. crowded as in curiosity
shop. What a jungle personality to
enjoy living in so close tangle!
The 90 Bare Room, severe, ostenta-
tiously nude, severe furnishings; some
one with programme lives there.
The (6) Tidy Room, everything sweep
able swept, everything polishable pol
shed, everything scrubable scrubbed,
everything Unstable busted. You know
her, too. who feels dirt as sin, the feline
soul, glove-ftted to conventions, to whom
morality means conformity.
The ca Booky Room, where bookcases
are the pieces of resistance; and books
everywhere, in rows on shelves. scat
tered on stands, piled, heaped. strewn.
II is the nest of the reading gourmand,
the voracious worm Of letters, the liter
airy larva You seem to see the occupant,
standing with book in his hand. one
under each arm, another held between
his knees. dozen swarmed about his
feet.
May be listed also (8) the Room cheap
and gaudy, (9) the Room expensive.
where each piece shrieks its high price,
0O) the Room that invites ease, caress-
ing you to comfort, and (1D the Room
snowy, radiating stiffness and formality;
also the (2) Mans Room, with things
handy and smells pipy. and 13) the
Woman's Room, with things delicate and
frail perfumes.
Add to these Jaily Rooms, Hospitality
Rooms, Officey Rooms, Boarding-H ousey
Rooms, Rooms Palatial, and Rooms Snug;
so does the Human Creature build his
lair.

Way back In the ninth century
that territory that extends along the
North Sea from the Strai; OF Dover
to the River Scheldt was known a.
Flanders II was ruled by France,
but It's government was directed by
the counts OF Flanders. who were
famous for their wealth and political
power. In 1929. when Flanders was
freed from homage 10 France. part
OF the country was claimed by Bel
GUM. and part was acquired by
France: the remainder became part
OF the Austrian Netherlands. When
the new kingdom OF Belgium was
formed this latter portion was di-
vided into what Is now known as
East Flanders and West FLANDERS.
The cities OF Bruges. Ypres and
Ostend are located in West Elan

Flanders. When you read about
Flanders In the war reports it's
doubtless these Belgian provinces
that are referred to. though both
Belgium and Holland. which we're
both part OF the ancient Flemish
principality. are sometimes called
Flanders.

PIckP0CKETS GET BUSY
WHILE GOLFERS ARE OUT
Probably the Caddies Are Suffering
From Hard Times and Made the
Haul on Sunday.

A Number of Brunswick's golfplay-
ers will hereafter take their cash
along with them when they start on
the rounds at the local links, and
their tewelry etc, will more. than
likely be left in some secure place
Local golfers have always been
proud of the fact that they could leave
their clothing with their cash in the
pockets, right in the little clubhouse
while they were enjoying a game, but
Sunday afternoon while a number of
the enthusiasts were interested in the
game some one-supposed to be one
or more of the idle caddies, made a
raid, and very good, one, too. While
they did not take any jewelry or other
valuables, they relieved the pockets
of all the money they contained, secur-
ing in all something between $50
and $40.

MAY
Be Bull 7 BY
LOCAL PEOPLE
MEETING WILL NBE HELD IN
A FEW DAYS TO TAKE up
THE QUESTION - MANY
ARE INTERESTED.

Quite a number of Brunswick bNsl-
ness men, especially those conrecRad
in any way with the shipping OF Pie
port, have at last taken up maGser
which may, within a few years, mean
that this port will have its own fleet
of sailing vessels; ii is a move that
should have been started long ago,
but which, though in its infancy at
present. promises to grow to such an
extent that it would not be surprising
to see work begin on a five-masted
schooner right here in Brunswick
within a few weeks.
The question of building and own
ing freight schooners right here IN
Brunswick has been discussed for
some time, but not until recently did
the matter take any kind of shape,
and now it has reached such point
that meeting will shortly be helt.
the matter will be discussed, and it
is expected that the result will be the
organization of a company with ample
capital to build a fivemasted schooner
and mark the prediction that if this
is done, the undertaking will prove
such IA success that it will not be
long before the port will have an en-
tire fleet of vessels.
The argument that America needs
merchant marine in order to keep at
home her money paid for freight car
rying is equally sound when applied
to the city of Brunswick.
A Brunswick-owned fleet will keep
Brunswick money at home. Brunswick
has the raw material with which to
build schooners. Brunswick has every
necessity for such vessels. The
money put into them if they are built
aL Brunswick will enrich our own
people.
Competent men state that schoon-
er can be built cheaper in Brunswick
than in the North. We have the raw
material, that is, the tonnage to keep
the schooners supplied with business.
There can be but one reasonable de-
duction from the foregoing facts. and
that is that Brunswick and Brunswick
people should join together their cap
ital and build a schooner as the first
unit OF such fleet. She can be built
at maximum cost of 100000.
AS stated, the question is just about
TO reach definite shape and many of
Brunswick's best-known business men
are Interested in it, in fact quite a
number of them have signified their
Willingness to subscribe to stock
when such a company is formed. and
it is more than probable that meet
ing will be called in the near future.

MOONLIGHT EXCURSIONS
TO START ON THURSDAY

The st. Simon Transit company
yesterday announced that the regular
weekly night excursions to st. Simon
would be inaugurated on Thursday
night of this week and that for the
remainder of the season the steamer
Sea Gate would make this special trip
to the island every Thursday night,
leaving the city at 8:15, 80. ~
These weekly night excursions have
always proved popular to the people
of Brunswick, giving many who find
it impossible to get away during the
day an opportunity to visit the island,
enjoy the delightful sea breezes, etc.
A special car from the new hotel
will always meet the boat upon her
arrival and will return in time to
catch the boat. The excursions prom.
ise to be equally as popular this sea
son as they have been in the past.

Chief Justice Makes Plea.

MOH1E, Ala, May 31.-Chief JUS
tice John C. Anderson, of the Ala
bama supreme court, has sent to Gov
ernor Slaton of Georgia letter ask
ing commutation of the death SEN
tefice pronounced on Leo M. Frank.
In part the communication says
Il am inclined to believe that owing
to the state of public feeling at the
time of the trial, together with the
low character of most of the material
witnesses against Frank, the governor
should, out of an abundance of eau
ton, commute the sentence to life i'm
prisonment in order to allow some
reparation to be made should the fu-
ture disclose that this man has been
improperly convicted"

Roan's Letter Given out.

ATLANTA, May 31--A letter writ
ten by the late Judge S. l.. Roam, who
presided at the trial of Leo M. Frank.
urging executive clemency for Frank,
was presented here today at the Geor-
gia prison commissions hearing of
Franks application that the sentence
OF death pronounced on him for the
murder of Mary Phagan be commuted
to life Imprisonment.
Judge Roan's communication was
addressed to Luther H. Rosser and
Reuben r. Arnold, Franks principal
counsel at the trial. Judge Roam died
in New York, May %, 1915 In the let
ter he says that he has considered
their letter asking that he recommend
executive clemency and that at the
proper time he would ask the state Of
ficials to commute the sentence to life
Imprisonment The letter added:
After many months continued de.
liberation am still uncertain of
Franks guilt. This 5iate of uncer-
tainty is largely due to the character
OF the negro Conley's testimony, by
which the verdict was evidently
reached"
statement from Mrs. Frank, wife
OF the condemned man, was presented
TO the commission, denying the ru.
mors that her married life had been
unhappy. She also denied that Frank

restoring it, United States executives
are confident that the warning will be
sufficient for the Mexican faction
leaders.
There is pessimism and high tension
regarding relations with Germany re-
sulting from Germany's reply to the
United States note sent as a conse-
quence of the .Lusitania disaster.
The official text of the German re-
ply was before the president this
morning Government officials are
profoundly disappointed. They say it
endeavors to obscure and evade the
main issue and seeks to interpose
technical argument on legal matters
hitherto undisputed under the laws of
nations
The reply ignores the request of the
United States for assurance that
American lives will not be endangered
in future.
The president is expected to shape
the course of the United States to-
night and discuss his decision at to-
morrow's cabinet meeting. He has
known the disappointing nature of the
German reply for several days. No
body knows but the president himself
what his decision will be.
Because the presidents feeling over
the Lusitania disaster is known, it is
believed he will order the dispatch
within less than two days of a second
note to Berlin, answering Germany s
request for facts of the Lusitania s
s-cargo and equipment, with re-state-
ment of the circumstances made clear,
in the first United States note, and
with an intimation that a prompt re-
ply is expected.
Reference to the torpedoing without
kwarning of the steamer Nebraskan al,
10 is expected.
An urgent inquiry will be made as
to what Germany is doing to prevent
further destruction of American lives
and property.
United States legal officials say the
American point of view on the legal
questions involved has never been dis.
puted by Germany before, or by any
other nation of the world
State department officials today
; compared the official text of the Ger.
man note with the text made public in
press dispatches. 1t was said that il
differed somewhat in phraseology but
! not in. sense The differences were
attributed to the fact that the official
ana unofficial transactions were made
by different persons.
President Wilson went for long
automobile ride early this morning
after reading newspaper comment on
the German reply.
As. his day was broken by an ex
gagement at the memorial day exer
cises at Arlington national cemetery
heswill not begin thorough study OF
the note before night.
