Lollypops for Youngsters

If Santa Claus finds himself short of
money anywhere we invite his atten-
ton to those dressed-up lollypops.
They will delight Che children. A lolly-
pop is fiat piece of candy on the end
Of a stick and 1t lasts long time.
All sorts Of little figures Of things
animate and inanimate are made by
dressing up lollypops in crepe paper.
One end of the stick is thrust into u
disk of heavy cardboard and arms and
legs are provided by small wires fast
ened about the stick. The faces are
painted on wax paper. over the lolly-
pop. Fruits and vegetables, fairies,
soldiers. dolls, dancing girls. clowns
there is no limit to the things that
can be made in this way.

The younger school children are
proving themselves immensely helpful
in work for the Red Cross. They are
enthusiastic and surprisingly persist
ent. They soon learn how to make
all the small. simple knitted articles
of wool or cotton, including squares of
wool yarns for quilts or comforters,
and the simplest of baby bonnets and
mufilers. From knitting cotton they
make wipes or sponges for hospital
use, and Of outing flannel or elderdown

ing bootees, and caps for infant wear.
Their efforts have been directed to-
ward doing things that will help keep
during the coming winter. They have
turned out thousands upon thousands
of ration heaters. and cannot get too
many of these.
For the little squares of knitted yarn
that are afterward sewed together
into quilts odds and ends of wool are
used, rs the color makes no difference.
They should be six inches square
when finished, and for yarn of the
coarse yarn requires few less, and
finer a few more. In the city schools
the younger boys and girls knit the
squares, and the older girls join them,
and line the quilt with flannel, or some
such material. The plain garter stitch
Is used for all these articles.
For baby bonnets Of wool yarn, 30
stitches are cast on and strip 10

Along comes Christmas, each year
attended by bevy of adorable break
fast caps always prettier than those of
other years. Here are two which will
solve at once the problem of what to
give to the friend you hope to please.
The little cap at the top Is glori-
fed and frivolous version of the sun
bonnet. 1t Is made of val lace edg-
ing and insertion in a fiat medallion
shaped piece over the top of the head
and little cape that hangs from the
back. A band of pink moire ribbon is
brought across the top of the cap and
ties in the back at the nape of the
neck. 1t is encouraged to be useful
and stay in place by the company Of
clusters of the tiniest chiffon roses.
A band of hemstitched taffeta, edged
with lace and trimmed with Zig-zag
band of little blossoms, makes the
other entlcing cap. 1t fastens ut the
side under bow of narrow satin rib
bon, with snap fasteners.

Wherever we drop in for afternoon
ten we just naturally gravitate toward
table that CLOVIS with candle under
a pretty shade. Small vases or bas-
kets of flowers have almost as strong
a lure and every hostess knows that
nothing else adds SO much to her table
as lights and flowers. So every year
those who make business of manu-
featuring table decorations bring out
new variations in the use Of silk or
paper for shades and something new
in receptacles for flowers.
The pretty flower basket shown
above requires only deft fingers and
paper rope to make 1t. The rope Is
woven over a wire foundation and the
small basket carries an ordinary wa
ter glass. When the basket is woven
Of gray or brown or ivory color or
green rope, according to the prefer
ence of Its maker, 1t Is vanished with
shellac. Either real or artificial flow
ers, with fresh or preserved ferns,
make up the bouquets that adorn liv-
ing rooms and dining tables these days.
Bouauets Of artificial flowers are
fashionable and serve to help brighten
the house, with the approval OF fas-
tidious people. There is great vogue
for them In fact, especially for those
that copy closely old-fashioned garden
flowers like the aster and marigold,
the daisy and chrysanthemum-and of
course, always the rose.
The candle shades and roses shown
in the picture are made Of fine crepe
paper and much like the candle shades
of last year or any other year, except
that the candle light filters through
two thicknesses Of paper in two shades
of the same color. with the lighter
shade on the inside. At the left
candle shade is made of large rose
petals in rose pink and each petal is
lined with paper Id lighter pink.
There are small roses and rose leaves
set about the shade near its top. Soft
shades of purple and lavender together
make lovely shades of this kind. The
shade ut the right Is even simpler. 1t
Is made Of light and dark rose color
and Is as pretty in deep and pale yell
low in orchid or the lighter green's.

This years Christmas candles will
be dressed out with shades in red,
white and blue. rs well as In the ac-
customed red and green. Here are
two. among many others, in which the
national colors are skillfully used to
make graceful shades. The shade at
the left is mainly red with white and
blue In ruffies and braided strands
about the top and bottom.
White over red in the other candle
makes n pretty background for small
flags pasted to the crepe paper. This
shade is tied about the top with mar
row blue ribbon.
A tiny basket and box FOR salted
nuts, or confections, are shown with
the candles. The basket is made of
braided strands of paper In red, white
and blue. to match the candle at the
left, while the box is u repetition of
white over red, tied with blue ribbon

Those of cretonne have everything
to recommend them. They are cheer

The handsome bag in the picture is
made of tan cretonne with black stripe
and japanese designs in brilliant flow
ers and foliage. 1t is lined with bright
green sateen and finished with clusters
of satin-covered apples in tan, red and
green at each side.
The handles are of thin wood and

Suits to Suit All Figures,

The suit styles shown this season
are 30 widely varied that no woman,
whatever her figure, should have tho
slightest difficulty in making selec-
ton. Little boxlike coats, sometimes,
loosely belted, with wide sleeves and
high severe collars. are worn with mar
row skirts, the silhouette arrived at

trousers of the Chinese. Russian
blouse suits are also popular. and one
Of the styles featured for young

The wipes, or sponges. are nine
inches square and knitted loosely.
When binding off every alternate
stitch is dropped; this makes the
square soft and spongy. There are
different ways of knitting them to get
this same effect, but they are less SIM

No more acceptable present can be
found for any woman young or old
than the collar and cuff sets of organdie
which add so much to the tailored suit
or the One-piece frock. For the young

colors. In all-white they are suitable
to any age.
The set pictured Is favorite for
street wear or with tailored suits. It
is Of white organdie having little ruff

are also made Of white and cream or

STATE NORNALS
 FILL GREAT NEED
Everyone Gratified at Ad- vance Made by These
 Institutions

The four Class A normal schools of Alabama, located at Florence, Jackson Vile. Livingston and. Troy, are making master strides to professlonalize educa- ton in Alabama. They are open prac- tically the entire year. giving four full terms of real professional work for teach CTS. They have just closed the years work, in which there were 12oO students enrolled and over 200 graduates.
 Since the necessity for training and preparedness Is so emphasized by present war conditions, it is source of gratih- cation to those who have the interest of the state at heart to know that these institutions constitute four great training camps for the educational forces of the state. and the people are calling for the leaders trained here in greater volume than ever before in tn history of the state.

SOUTH HIGHLANDS
 SCHOOL FOR GIRLS

The following letter to Mrs. Spencer Of the South Highlands School for Girls gives an indication of the high esteem in which she is held as an educator:
 (Copy)
 Lexington, Ky, April 22. 1913. Mrs. J. M. Spencer Sayre College, Lex ington, Ky:
 Dear Mrs. Spencer: It may interest you to know how the students from Sayre college have been doing at our state university.
 For years it has been my privilege to supervise some of the undergraduate and graduate studies of the young men and women who come to us from the leading preparatory institutions of our common wealth. So thoroughly trained have been the Sayre College graduates that all of them have received advanced standing from our entrance committee.
 Some womens colleges are good deal more pretentious in regard to the details of their curriculum, and some may boast of greater numbers, but in refinement and true culture Sayre college is unsur- passed by any southern institution of its kind within my knowledge.
 In my judgment Sayre is doing work that has no precise duplicate anywhere. Since you and pr. Spencer have taken charge of the institution. there has been nothing short of revolution in methods and ideals.
 With kindest personal regards, believe me, sincerely and most respectfully yours,

PUBLIC SALE OF
 DUROC-JERSEY HOGS
Demand for High Class Hogs Un-
 precedented, States Breeder

On next Wednesday. August 22, the West Dallas Farms, located at Orrville, will hold it's second large public sale of the year of registered Duroc-Jersey hogs.
 Manager R. w. Wood writes The Age Herald that they were forced to hold this second sale on account of the tremendous demand for high class breeders all over Alabama and the south Much interest is being taken by farmers of small means who desire to get into the hog game on account of big prices now being offered at all markets, for hogs on foot. The past week at both Chicago and St. Louis a record price of 1Ss4c on foot was paid for hogs. Packers expess the opinion that the consuming public may see the price go to 25c Those informed say breeders are scarce and the demand for meat is great, owing to war conditions. During the next five years all farmers with hogs will reap harvest from their sales. 1t Is predicted.
 The West Dallas Farms are offering 50 bred sows and gilts and 10 fall boars, all cholera immuned, with the double treatment. The blood lines show more chan pions than any herd in the south, and q large attendance is expected.
 Orrville Is located on the Myrtlewood branch of the Louisville and Nashville. It miles west of Selma. The farms have their own sales pavilion with a capacity of 1000.

 students who enter this fall may be graduated under the old system and then continue longer for the degree if they so desire. This advance in the cur riculum places Montevallo on a level with Auburn as technical institute and with the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa in literary subjects. The girls of the state now have an equal showing with the boys in college work.
 The development at Montevallo has been an interesting feature in Ala bama educational circles It was the pioneer in introducing courses of in- struction in home economies and was ridiculed for this for several years, but today every school from the grammar grades to the university Is offering some course in home economics. It Is perhaps not generally known that home economies is more highly developed at Montevallo than at any other institu- tion in the south.
 Music is another department that re- ceives special attention. A new music hall is now being erected and will be ready for use next winter and will be supplied with new pianos.
 The normal course is an attractive feature to those desiring to teach in the grades or in high school. Graduates are teaching in every county in the state and everywhere are making good rec- ords.
 < The Institution Is maintained for the general training of young women in the most thorough cultural and practical pedagogical methods It believes in the all round complete development of the young women-physically, mentally and spiritually. Much attention has always been given to physical education Playground supervision is a prominent feature in the curriculum, preparing the students for teaching this subject in the public schools.

DISCIPLINE TAUGHT
 AT STARKE SCHOOL

 Now that the war is on every one is talking discipline and the tendency is back to the military system, but when the policy of letting boys do as they please was the vogue, when parent sent his son to Professor Starke it meant that he had to learn to obey, a mighty good thing for any youngster in these days, when so many fathers shirk responsibility by shifting it on to their wives. The boys are not merely taught to mind, but are carefully instructed along educational lines. Professor Starke believes in thor oughness.

LOCAL BOYS AT
 BINGHAM SCHOOL

It has been said that Asheville is far nous for it's scenery. it's climate and for the Bingham school.
 This is high compliment to Colonel Bingham, who has wide reputation as an educator in the south. He is more than mere schoolmaster; he Is man, and has views of his own, and so his boys learn independence and manliness.
 Here in Birmingham are a number of young men who were trained not only in books, but in manhood under his guid- ance, and despite the fact that he is a discipiinarian, they all love him. What more can school offer than healthful climate, beautiful surroundings. ample equipment, and first-class faculty?

 Readers of The Age-Herald have had an opportunity to see a picture of the proposed building. Miss Morton is not merely an educator of high rank, for her womanly bearing is an inspiration to every girl who comes within the range of her influence. For years she has edu- cated the daughters of some of Birming hams leading families and every one in the city rejoices in the fact that her dreams of a greater school will soon be realized.
