AS the SORROWS Of the South under the
baneful reconstruction acts began to be
unbearable the organization changed
its character and the name became pop
ularized as Ku Klux Klan, the Khan
having been added because so many Of
the original members were descendants
Of Scottish clansmen. The fiery cross of
the Scottish Highlanders was again used
as call to arms.
a similar order was started in Louisiana
known as the Knights of the White Came
la The shibboleth Of both organizes
tions was The Supremacy of the White
Race" and that has survived in the
South to this very day. At first the Ku
KluX Khan devoted their efforts to put
ting down disorder among the bad ne
groes. Generally all that was necessary
was to play upon the credulity and su-
pcrstition of that race. They would ride
up to a negro's cabin in the dead Of the
night and one Of the riders would call
for a bucket Of water. which he would
drain to the bottom by using a conceal
ed leather bag. He would then say that
was the first drink he had had since he
was killed at the Battle OF Shilo. This
is very effectively shown in The Birth of
Nation"
The Washington herald., 1916-05-13

Probably the most thrilling scenes in
David w. Griffths' spectacular produc-
ton, THE Birth Of Nation" are those
in which the ghostly garbed ghouls OF
the Ku Klux Klan ride madly to the res
cue Of the women and children Of the
South.
Secret societies organized for political
ends are no novelty in history. There
were the Jacobins in France. the Car
bonari in Italy, and the NihiIists in Rus
sia. In America there were the Know
Nothings, who made their creed,
America for Americans" Somewhat
like the Ku Klux Klan, the Vigilantes of
California were organized to bring about
law and order when the regular ma
chinery OF the law had broken down.
The Ku RluX Klan was organized as
''an institution of chivalry, humanit, and
patriotism In its original form IT was
merely social club and the name was
taken from the Greek word "kuklos, q"
meaning circle. This society was formed
in Pulaski, Tenn, in May, 1866. The
president Of the circle was known as the
grand cyclops; his assistant was the
grand magi; the marshall was the grand
turk; the treasurer was the grand ex-
chequer, and the guards were termed
lictors.

HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
Setting the Formal Dinner Table.
BY FRANCES MARSHALL

single long table is always used
for ceremonious dinner in a private
house, with the top padded with felt
before the cloth is put on. The cloth
must be of handsome sort and fall
over the table edges to a considerable
depth. with the crease at the center
exactly running down the middle of
the table. This crease. by the way, will
help the table setter to get the vari-
GUS dishes and ornaments on with
mathematical precision, and this ex-
actness of arrangement is very neces-
sary for stylish effect.
At the middle of the table, over the
cloth. is laid the round or square linen
piece with lace edge commonly used
here, and on which is set a crystal or
silver bowl filled with seasenable flow
ers. The flower ornament is never
built up very high. as this obstructs
the view across the table, and it is
thus impossible for guests to speak
with one another without leaning to
one side. If flowers are to be placed
at the covers of the guests as favors
they should correspond with those in
the bowl, for variety of different
posies is not enhancing to the harmony
of the table.
When the central ornament has been
placed, four candlesticks with wax
candles, or four small table lamps, are
grouped about it, and If the lighting
seems insufficient a lamp delicately
shaded in some manner could be placed
elsewhere in the room. The crystal
candlesticks with three or four
branches are very effective, particular
ly IL much handsome glass is to be
used. and two with three branches
each would light up long table quite
brilliantly. In accurate groups about
the table are then placed silver-topped
salt and pepper boxes and little silver
or crystal dishes with sugar plums and
salted almonds.
The plate for each guest is set right
side up and Is placed far enough
apart to give the diners plenty of room.
Across the plate lies the dinner nap
kin, laundered without starch and
ironed square, with the monogramed
corner showing; between the folds OF
| 1t is tucked a precisely cut morsel Of
bread or q fresh, crisp dinner roll
Other bread lies in a silver tray on a
side table and is served as needed to
the guests.
