TwO-piece or three-piece matched
cts in millinery are among the smart
Est things shown in the new displays
for fall. The two-piece set is just
right and designers have made it pos
slble to select hat and bag hat
and cOllar-Or a hat and cape or scarf
made to match; or, If they do not
match in materials, some touch in
trimming makes them kin. A silk hat
trimmed with chinchilla, for instance,
is bound for life to q high chinchilla
collar by veil that falls from the hat
and is sewed to the upper edge Of the
collar.
Leading the vanguard Of matched
sets came the hat and bag to match
and this fancy is altogether so pleas
ing that hat and bag sets are quite
likely to be found also in the rear of
the fashion parade along about Christ
mas time. If you contemplate some
thing unusual in Christmas gifts that
hat and bag set pictured here ought to
prove interesting.
One of the smartest of smart sets
is Of brilliant green satin trocaded
with gold and finished with green che
mile tassels in the bag. The hat, to
be worn with 1t, has crown Of black
velvet and a narrow rolling brim of
the green and gold brocade. At the

VIOLATION OF LAW SERIOUS
U. s. District Attorney J. o. Carr
Says Supreme Court Must Decide
Child Labor Law.

MISUNDERSTANDING of the Keat-
ing-Owens child labor law and the
recent decision of Federal Judge Boyd
in declaring it unconstitutional, Unit
ed States District Attorney J. o. Carr
declared that the person or persons
who violated this statute are gambling
with the supreme court, for if this
tribunal reverses Judge Boyd's decis-
ion, those who have violated the sta
tute will be indictable, despite any
thing that Judge Boyd may have said
relative to the constitutionality of the
law. Mr.. Carr stated that he would
sit tight and await the ruling of the
highest court in the land on this all
important matter.

Head Nurse Has Resiuned.

Morganton.-Miss Mamie I. Kersey,
who has been head nurse at the North
Carolina State hospital here several
years, has resigned, on account OF
failing health, to take a much needed
rest. The great responsibility of this
position and the duties connected
with it are very trying and few peo-
pie have been able to hold it more
than a few years. Miss Kersey'S
resignation is a distinct loss to the
hospital, as she was a woman Of
splendid executive ability, as well N
nm efficient nurse.

Separate WaIstcoats Now.

London and Paris have taken an
other step toward the masculine in
fashions and makers are producing
separate waistcoats, to be removed at
will. They are made of the sOftest
materials, with striking pattern and
and often they are knitted, and are
cut roomy. Pockets at the sides with
a watch fob hanging out of one Of
them are customary.
Under these waistcoats, of which
plain shirtwaists are being worn, the
jabot or f1chu and the transparent
sleeves are visible. It is customary
with women wearing such waistcOats
to remove the suit coat.

AdJt.-Gen. Can't Grant DISCHARGE.

Men who are serving in military
units that formerly composed the
North Carolina National Guard can
not receive discharges through the
office of the state AdJutant general,
regardless of how meritorious may
be the grounds upon which they make
application. All such applications
must be taken up through the regular
channels OF the War apartment of
the United States. The North Caro-
lima National Guard ceased to exist as
such on August last when it was
drafted into the federal service, and
became portion of the armed forces
Of the national government.
This was the statement made ny
Adjutant General Laurence w
Young, who explained that a great
number of applications are daily
reaching his office. In most cases
these applications for discharges
from the service are being made on
behalf of the enlisted men by mem
bers Of their families, and not by the
men themselves. In many cases the
papers filed or voluminous. But Cen
eral Young says that his office has
no longer authority to act.

Preserve Sweet Potatoes.

DIR. B. w. Kilgore, Of the Agricul.

attention to the fact that it is of the
utmost Importance that the large
sweet potato crop in North Carolina
be preserved during the coming win
ter months. AS an aid in further1ng
this work, the Extension Circular No.
80 has been issued, which treats in
detail of the methods to be pursued
in successful storage, and gives a type
Of storage house which has been used
by the Pender branch station at VIII
lard with satisfactory success.
All growers of sweet potatoes are
urged to write for a copy of this cir
cular in order that they may be pre-
pared for handling the crop this fall
Each year North Carolina produces
an abundant supply of this crop, but,
on account of improper methods OF
storage, practically none are kept
throughout the entire winter.

fifty persons at the Congregational

Good Work

Last spring there may have been
some question as to what II would all
amount to, - but now we know An
official report has been prepared show
ing that as the result of turning the
minds Of rs, 600 public school children
of the State toward gardening to help
win the war, food products to the value
of $3.50, 600 have been raised by these
children. This represents an almost
clear gain, and whether another year
sees peace or continued war the work
should go on.
II must have been beneficial to the
health of the school children as well as
have taught lesson in thrift and agri-
culture which will doubtless lead many
children to renew their efforts another
year whether officially urged to do so or
not
The Educational Department Of the
State has received detailed reports Of
the work that 1892 pupils accomplish
ed the past season.
The pupils engaged in gardening
raised 57546 bushels of potatoes and
1926 bushels of beans, At present
prices, this has a value Of over 500, 900.
Garden vegetables were extensively
raised, the nearest estimate based on
reports being considerably over 10000
bushels, Reports as to canning done by
the pupils, show that in "a districts, the
boys and girls, principally girls, put up
"a, 1923 quart cans of vegetables and
fruit. This was actually exceeded be-
cause the remaining 80 districts had
kept no record, but reported extensive
canning done.
The credit for the fine achievement
Of the boys and girls of Vermont lies,
next TO themselves, to the School super
intendents of the State. Every one Of
these superintendent returned from
the meeting at Montpelier called by
Commissioner Hillegas and devoted
himself ungrudgingly to this special
task of helping to win the war. These
superindents have toiled day and night,
gone without vacations, paid their own
expenses, and produced results.
The value of this work cannot be
wholly estimated in dollars and cents or
even in bushels of food when food is
scarce. 1t has brought the boys and
girls close to the vital side of life. As
an example of this, one boy nine
years old sold from a garden of 4SO q,
fit. vegetables to the amount of $lOS2,
Another boy raised from single pota-
to q pounds of potatoes. In one dis.
trict 46 boys from the High school earn
ed as farm aborers. the sum of SO, 3GS. q
and q High school girls earned in farm
homes $53O25
We say this is good work..
