next year without the usual double

NASHVILLE Tenneseean.)

Not very long ago the houses in the
segregated district were closed, and
the women sent out to make their liv
ing in unaccustomed ways.
Many of them, of course, continued
on the old way in new surroundings,
but some of them began the stiff
| climb back to responsibility, a task
| that, at best, is well-nigh impossible
The public, of course, will never
| know just how these women fare
along the rocky road Some of them
will make good and slip gradually out
of sight of those who have known
them. And some will climb half the
way and slip tragically back to the
bottom.
Of some, however, it may be posi-
bic to know :. little as they go along.
Word came Saturday from a relia-
BILE source that one of those women
has job-a job that pays her $3.50
a week. That is little less than SO
cents a day. She could buy three
meals-suppOsing that she eats three
times day-paying 10 cents for each
OF them, and she would have a nickel
left to buy clothing and fuel and shell
ter. She might shave the meals a
little and have more than a nickel a
day left for the other three. And
those four are the essential things
food, clothing, shelter, warmth. And
think of it.-this girl has 80 cents
every day for just those four things.
OF course, those figures are based on
the supposition that she will not be
sick any time, and require medicine
and the attention of doctor, and that
she ne ,er will be so indiscreet as to
buy nickePs worth of something she
doesn't have to have
But that is supposing too much. OF
course, she is going to be sick. OF
course she is going to buy something
she doesn't need OF course she can't
buy the four essential things for So
cents day. And of course-well, you
may decide for yourself whether that |
girl will climb the hill or lie, a broken |
thing, at its base. Whatever the cause |
of her first fall, the cause { this Sec

large enough to support her. But the /
world will probably not place the !
blame where it belongs, any more than
the world placed the Blame where it |
belonged the first time she fell.
That is just one of the struggling
girls. =, There are probably others
equally hard toward results
as futile.
A big stir has been made over those
girls, a great bustling about to help
them. That is matter over which
1 good many people can be perfectly
lappy-and the girls viii be no more
than they were as honest

If all of these plans fail, there is
still a way out. Colorado offers al,
the wealth that is stored in her hills
to the culinary genius who will in

Cream of tartar, derived from grapes,
IS used in Royal Baking Powder because
it is the best and most healthful ingredient
known for the purpose.
Phosphate and alum. which are de-
rived from mineral sources, are used in
some baking powders, instead of cream of
tartar, because they are cheaper.
If you have been induced to use baking
powders made from alum or phosphate,
use Royal Baking Powder instead. You

TIGERS WINNER
in CLOSE RACE

Princeton, n. j., April Elm the
closest and most spectacular finish ever
seen on Lake Carnegie, the Princeton
first Varsity crew upset all calcula-
tions and defeated Harvard here yes
terday by margin of less than a foot.
The Tigers jumped into the lead at the
start and, rowing true to form all the
way, maintained their positions until
the finish line was passed. The times
were given out as follows: Princeton,
9 minutes 1913 seconds; Harvard, 8
minutes 13 seconds. AS was expected,
the Crimson Junior shell crossed the
finish line an easy winner, winning by
a margin of two and quarter lengths.
Their marks were: Harvard, minutes
46 seconds; Princeton, 8 minutes 55
seconds.
Coach J. Duncan Spaeth of the vic
torious Tiger crew, fairly beamed with
joy at the end of the struggle. When
the shell crossed the finish line none
of the spectators could tell who won.
When Professor Noyes shouted out
something, however, and DR.. Spaeth
raised his hat and swung it three times
around his head, the Princeton contin-
gent knew for the first time their crew
was victorious. The oarsmen in both
boats seemed exhausted and Topped
down over their oars.

Of Mrs. Eloise helms Dennis, the elder
Iof the two sister, were submitted yes
terday afternoon to Innes in his cell in
tie Fulton county tower, and Innes de.
clined to answer them, explaining that
his attorneys rad given him strict in
structions to make no statement with
out consulting them. Among the ques
items submitted to Innes were the fol
lowing:
Why did you use so many fictitious
names on your travels over the coun-
try?
Why did you send your wife, under
the guise of your aunt, to get money
from Mrs. Dennis in Atlanta, instead OF
seeing Mrs. Dennis and getting the
money yourself?
Did you tell Mrs. Dennis you were
going to marry her, and if so did you
irtend to marry her?
If you did not intend to marry her,
was it necessary to tell her you wanted
TO marry her in order to make her love
you?
Did Mrs. Dennis and her sister, Beat
rice helms, come to your bungalow at
100 Wilkins avenue, San Antonio, Tex,
during the month of June, 1914?
If so, what transpired?
How long did they stay there?
Did they leave there?
If so, where did they say they were
going?

be tried for several months on the
charge of larceny after trust for which
she was jointly indicted with her hus
band, was asked if she could throw any
