DEMOCRATS WERE JOLLY.

ST. Lou!s.-The Dredominating fea-
ture Of the St Louis convention is the
jo!!ity of the Democrats. This jollity
might have been forced and artificial
when they arrived here, but it became
real after G.ynns famous keynote
speech and in earnest after the ad-
dress OF Ollie James. They are going
homo with d2eg-seated convictions
that victory is certain in November
for Peace. Prosperity and Prepared
ness.
The convention scenes nave been Of
a spontaneously enthusiastic charac-
ter. On TWO occasions. when hurrah-

New Concrete Pier Accepted.

Charleston.-The new concrete pier
and berthing slip constructed at the
Charleston navy yard at a cost OF
100000 to the United States govern
ment has been finished and finally &C.
cepted by the federal authorities af-
ter an inspection by a board OF off,
GERS at the head of whom was Civil
Engineer Reid, public works officer
at the yard. Along with the pier has
been built a concrete retaining wall
against the shore which thus provides
a protected basin which will be dredg-
ed so as to provide berthing and dock
ing facilities for vessels Of the tor
pedo boat destroyer type.
This pier projects out for a dis
tance of 300 feet. 1t then turns at
right angles down stream for dis
ance of $50 feet. 1t is built almost
entirely of concrete, the piles being
of that material, reinforced with
steel rods. The flooring is also Of
concrete. Some of the piles are close
to 90 feet in length. The inclosed
basin between the arm Of the L and
the retaining wall will be dredged. It
now varies from to 20 feet in depth.
The pier is not as long as originally
planned. The cause of this is that
the piles had to be sunk to depth
of so and 80 feet in most places in
stead Of the original 80 and 30 as est1-
mated

On motion of Senator Hughes the

whatever were taken. The delegates
simply roared AYE" when the names
OF Wilson and Marshall were called

Washington.-There were no indica-
tiens here that the Administrators
determination to continue the cam
paign against bandits in Mexico would
IN any way be altered by General Ire
cino's reported threat to begin hostili-
ties if the American troops move from
their present positions in any direc.
ton except toward the border.
General Pershing's orders author
ize him to move in any directions he
finds necessary. Secretary Baker was
in St. Louis but the general impress.
sion prevailed that these orders would
not be changed.
There is ne fear Of an immediate
clash, however, for officials believe
General Pershing would avoid taking
any steps that might lead. to serious
consequences until he had communi'
Gated with Washington. The war de-
partment had no word from his or
from any other source to confirm the
report Of General Trevinos action.
Recent troop movements in Chihua-
hua state have led officials here to
fear that the de facto commanders
were preparing for some hostile move.
The Mexican forces now are distrib'
uted in detachments Of considerable
strength on two lines, converging from
points near the border east and west
Of General Pershing's line and meet
ing at point south of his field base
at Naminquipa. The effect has been
to enclose the American troops in q
gigantic Y.
This disposition Of Carranzas
forces has been one Of the bases OF
suspicion here as to his friendly in
tentions. While the Mexicans are SO
posted, officials declare they cannot
be in good faith conducting any cam
paign against bandits. The breakup
Of these forces into small parties to
scour the country for outlaws is one
Of the conditions which would be de-
marded by the United States before
the American expedition could be re-
called.

sonally bore the New Jersey flag.

the enthusiasm by waving the Texas
Lone Star" flag, handed over the
heads OF the crowd from the chair

cheers for the President.
No Effort at Control.
The band exhausted the list OF
popular national airs, then turned to
"Tipperary," and the crowd Joined in
the chorus. Then the musicians went
back to American airs. Some Of the
delegates stopped long enough to
drain pop bottles and then went back
to it again. The hand was so vigorous

went short of breath, ley laid back
and let the bass drum er perform
alone for while He belabored his
drum industriously until the bandsmen
got their second wind and then went
back to "Tipperary."
There was no attempt to control the
crowd Men and women over-ran the
| platform and the press sections at
will. The passages to the telegraph
rooms were so packed with persons
who had no business in the vicinity
that only those who had their tele-
graph instruments on the platform
could send the news OF the conven.
ton to the outside world. The police
made no effort to control the situa-
tion
The crowd roared when several wo-
men suffrage workers with golden
umbrellas and yellow sweaters mount

Gracious Manners.

The charm Of gracious manner and
consideration for other human beings
is a quality that develops rapidly il
given half chance The woman who
is always kind creates an atmosphere
of loveliness that is like a halo about
her head. If YOU are naturally shy and
reticent it is all the more necessary
that you should endeavor to shine a
bit. It IS not lack Of pleasant thoughts
that worries the self-conscious, but the
fear Of giving expression to them. You
must Try to make yourself companion
