GENERAL COLEMAN DU POINT.
Coleman du Pont was born In Ken.
lucky and started his working life In
the mines of the Blue Grass State. He
stands today as one of the few sue
cessful men who have acquired their
positions by methods that will stand
scrutiny. He has been a producer
not stock jobber. He has never an.
tagonized any class Of people. Capital
and Labor alike admire him.
Without self.advertisement he does
more charity than do most men. He Is
an ardent advocate Of good roads and
believes that really perfect system
Of highways will enhance the farmers
income and reduce the cost Of living
given them to his state, always with
sound business scheme to perpetuate
them and save them from being
burden to the taxpayers.
He comes from a family more Amer
lean than most-a family identified
with the building of the nation since
the Revolution. His grandfather was
Thomas Jefferson's most valued per-
sonal friend and advisor in the time
Of great need during the dark days
OF the Republic.
The great Powder Company with
which he was formerly identified has
supplied our government with all its
powder at price always named by
our government officials themselves
and never by the company.
Because of his great executive abil-
ity and high standing in the business
world, some Of the shrewdest po-
litical minds in the country consider
him as being one of the most likely
dark horses" for the Republican
nomination. They point to the fact
that his success in life would elimin-
ate any need for a friendly Colonel
House, or any other financial influence
standing ever behind the presidential
chair. Nor would he be compelled to
take orders from any man or group of
men.
Another factor that the supporters of
General du Pont are pointing to is his
knowledge of military affairs. For
sixteen years he has been identified
with the soldiery of his state and is
thoroughly alive to the necessity for
preparedness. He has also had
practical training in politics, hav.
ing been a delegate to a number of
State and National conventions, and
serving as a member of the Republican
National committee for many years.
II is the splendid business training
Of General du Pont that is pointing
the way for him to the NOM
nation. For 1t is conceded on all
sides that the biggest problems of this
country at the close of the European
war will be business problems, and
there are few men among those men,
toned, who have had his experience
in coping with such huge problems.
AS a manager of constructive bust
ness and as a reorganizer, Coleman
du Pont stands in a class by himself.

KISSES GLOVES AS
He JUMPS IN RIVER
ChuTchgoers See Unidentified
Man Dive to Death.

Grand Rapids, Mar. 21.-With a
pair of woman's gloves pressed to his
lips, an unidentified man jumped to
his death in Grand river. His body
was quickly recovered.
Churchgoers noticed the man. who
was about thirty years old, standing
on the Fulton street bridge. He
climbed from the bridge to the top
of the food wall and stood there look
ing down into the water. Then he
took the gloves from his pocket, kiss
ed them and jumped to his death.
There was nothing in the clothing
to serve as a clew to his identity A
rosary was all that was found in the
pockets. When the body was recov-
cred the gloves were still clasped
tightly in the mans hands.
AS a stranger came up after the
first plunge he seemed to dive under
some ice, only to reappear aboG< 50
feet down the river, where he dove
again and did not re-appear

H. M. STANLEY ADVOCATES
INDUSTRIAL TRAINING

Strongly FavorS COmpuI-
SOy Education

II. VI. Stanley, commissioner of COM
merce and labor for Georgia, was pleased
to learn Saturday that the Georgia Man
ufacturers' association, at its meeting in
Atlanta this week will indorse his rec
ommendation for the establishing of a
state vocational school and will take
steps to aid in bringing the matter to
the attention of the legislature next
summer. Mr.. Stanley is also heartily
in favor of a compulsory education law
and he hopes that the general assembly
will pass such a statute at a very early
day.
Il have long seen the need of such
school," said Commissioner Stanley.
while member of the board of educa-
ton of my home city 1 worked hard
for the establishment of an Industrial
training department and while this was
attempted in small way 1t was not a
success for the reason that such train
ing can never be successful until there
is a state school correlated with high
schools and grammar schools that at
tempt industrial training. In the second
annual report of the department of COM
merce and labor. which was published in
the spring Of 1914, 1 urged the estab-
lishment of a state vocational school
1T is my judgment" continued Mr..
Stanley, that there should be a central
vocational school established by the
state under the jurisdiction of the state
university. but entirely separate and dis
tinct from any other branch of the uni
versity. 1t should be Independent of any
other kind of training"

Her Arm Raw, Her Back Raw,
Her Skull Burned Barer Yet
Skin Grating viii Save Her
Life

She sits in a white corridor at the
Georgia Baptist hospital. looking out at
the gray rain. Her thin little body
is clad only in a white sheet. White
bandages are wrapped and wrapped
around her head until she looks like a
gnome. And her head itself is bent al
ways to one side in a listening attitude.
She cannot move it because of the pain.
From the tip of her right arm to her
right shoulder is raw flesh. Raw flesh
lies bare across half her back. Her
neck is raw flesh. There is no hair on
her skull. 1t is as bald as a man of
eighty; yet she is only six years old, a
little girl from the mountains who is
being made over like a patch work
quilt.
Patches of skin have been sewed on
her arm, her shoulders, her back. More
patches will be sewed on her neck. After
while they will drill little holes in her
skull and make her a new scalp so they
can sew more patches to cover her bald
head.
She will never be beautiful to look
at, she will never grow into the bloom
of young maidenhood as other little
girls, for she must wear a wig some
day and she will always have the
patches But she is going to get we'll

Early in December Lorraine Shelley
was taking care of her little brother in

No one else was at home, for Loraine's

mother was out milking. 1t was cold.
She crouched close to the fire. Suddenly
her dress was ablaze,
Lorraine did not scream nor run out
into the open, but as any other hurt
thing would do she crawled away to
lide-under the bed where she huddled
and tried to stop the fire that was eat

minutes later when her mother came in
she found her little daughter there, still
alive but horribly SCARED.
They could not cure Lorraine in Car

Doctors and nurses volunteered. One
gave nearly fifty inches cut from his
thigh with a sharp razor while he al

almost fifty more and smiled as she
gave it.
The strips of skin, curling up like

SENATE PASSES PHILIPPINE
BILL; GOES TO THE HOUSE
Measure Would Provide indie
pendence for Islands
Within Four Years
nv Associated Press. !

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The Philip
pine bill went to the house from the
senate today, where it was passed by a
vote of SO to "a last night.
AS finally approved by the senate,
the measure would grant independence
to the Philippine Islands within four
years and provide for greater degree
of self-government.
In the house prompt action on the
bill, which is said to meet with Presi-

Administration leaders apparently are
confident it will have the approval of the

The bill was \passed by the solid vote
