The ancients recognized the cat as
a destroyer of birds. If we may judge
from pictorial representations on the
buildings, tombs and monuments Of
the ancient Egyptians, the principal
early use made of the animal was as
killer and retriever of birds. To the
ancient Egyptians, birds Except the
sacred ibis and the hawk meant just
so much meat. Apparently these peo-
pie were able to utilize the bird catch

The Struggle in Jackets.
There is no serious fight between
the long and the short jacket, and
there are not many original ideas in
coats. There are Americans who have
gladly turned to the tailors of this
country for ideas, because they did not
find what they wanted in the French
output.
Everyone was warned that Paris
could not produce a stable assortment
Of coat suits for this spring, on &C
count Of the scarcity Of men workers.
Some of the houses, notably Doeuillet,
produced their usual quota of coats
| and shirts for the American trade, but
the entire burden of cleverness, orig
inality and good workmanship was car
ried by the one-piece frocks which, in
nearly all cases, had long coat to
match.

ct. The French designers themselves
said to the American buyers when
they were there in February, that no
one produced the mannish coat and
skirt to such perfection us the Ameri-
can tailor, and that it seemed to
France quite unnecessary to invent
much in that direction for people who
were past masters of the art.
A few lines were laid down for gen.
eral work, because America must have
it's silhouette from Paris, regardless Of
the way in which it twists and turns
it in this country. Therefore, the tight
ly plated, straight skirt or the slightly
circular skirt with three seams was
offered with short jacket, usually
trusting to it's collar and cuffs for orig
inallty.
American Makers Pleased.
This situation has vastly pleased
the manufacturers in this country.
They are already flooding the conti-
nent with coat suits of their own de-
signing, and the American women are
giving large orders to tailors who do
not go to France or copy French mod,
els. So everyone Is pleased, includ'
, ing France.
|, The fly in the ointment, as far al
the tailors are concerned, Is that the
American woman is looking very kind
ly upon the French Idea of a one-piece
. frock and three-quarter coat, but

Priced Dressmakers Want
Something Different From
That Sold in Shops.
WARY IN. ADOPTING DESIGN
Those Who Cater to Exclusive Sets
Refuse to Accumulate Barrel e.
fect-Short Jacket Has Settled
Place in Fashions.

New York.-There Is real struggle
between the barrel or pegtop skirt and
the one that hangs plumb from waist
to ankles. 1t is not necessary to indi-
cate that the lines are drawn between
the exclusive, high-priced dressmakers
and the shops, in the battle to produce
the most fashionable skirt.
There is, ostensibly, a feeling among
the women and men who cater to fas-
tidious and conservative clientele, that
whatever the manufacturers have put
out in large numbers should be avoided
by them. This feeling is not based on
any bitterness or rivalry between the
two concerns; it is really reflection
on the patrons of these exclusive
places. 1t is not possible for dress
makers who hold their heads high In
prices to sell in bulk they must make
their money from the individual, not
from the mass, and there Is strong
and growing feeling among the patrons
Of speciality plates that they will not
wear the gowns which are seen in shop
windows, and especially those which
are manufactured by the hundreds and
sold throughout the trade. These wom-
en- want French models or gowns that
cannot be initiated and sold by the
dozen for less than $50.
When the barrel skirt was first ex-
plotted on this side of the ocean, the
semi-annual openings in Paris had not
taken place, and the majority of dress
makers insisted that they would not
answer for the success of the peg-top
or oval silhouette, as one chooses to
call 1t, because it was not probable that
Paris would show it later in the sea-
son, and equally improbable that fas-
tidious patrons would want to pay a
large price for style that had been
run to the ground through wholesale
distribution.
Theory Fell Flat.
This argument was plausible and
it influenced those who handled the
so-called barrel skirt; but this built
up theory proved to be house OF
cards that fell fiat under the weight
of the semi-annual Paris openings
where the peg-top skirt, or oval sill.
houette, was featured in every prom
inent house.
The flare went out of hens as sud
denly as flash of lightning leaves
the sky. Circular skirts remained il
fashion, but they were attenuated ant
simplified. The hens dropped dow
from one to four inches, and thu
straight line of machine pleating came
into fashion. The French gowns al
displayed tendency to be held in a

NEGROES DIRECTING ID JIM CROW" LAW
 PREC|P|TATE A RIOT

Chattanooga, November 4.--Attempt of the crew of street car to enforce the state "Jim Crow' law precipitated riot on the East Chattanooga line at 6:45 o'clock this afternoon, resulting in considerable damage to the car and endangering the lives of the white passengers.
 The car was unusually crowded with negroes and when the conductor ap- preached some of those seated in the part of the car set aside for white people and asked them to move to the Jim Crow" seats, the negroes re-l sented the action and refused to com ply.
 At this juncture white man, Joe Allen, came to the rescue of the con- ductor and taking hold of one of the negroes shook him and explained that it was against the law for him to oc- cupy the seat. This infuriated other negroes, who attacked Allen and the conductor.
 Witnesses of the riot telephoned police headquarters and reserves were rushed to the scene, but the negroes had scattered after attacking the car with all manner of missiles. Allen was arrested and the police spread a net for the capture of the negro rioters

Christian Science, ever loving, ever gentle, and ever kind, will never take away one single thing that you hold dear without returning more than it took away, and that which you love bet ter. While it repudiates and destroys altogether that heavenly place which is not a place but only a mortal belief, yet it gives you heaven, a heaven that is near at hand. It is the reigning and ruling divine Science, the government of the laws of God, good, where wrong is never known. That heaven is here and now; in it no sickness or sorrow, pain or death, matter or mortality. can be found. To enter it you must see through the veil of the false mortal or ual unfoldment of divine being, in the understanding of God and the Christ, His truly and only begotten Son, our Redeemer. It is waiting for ev- cry one, and sooner or later every one must enter it's sacred precincts, and none can stay away. Christian Science shows that the error of the ages Is in having two powers, one of good and the other of evil; and this belief beclouds the eye of reason, shuts out the true understanding of life, and seemingly robs man of his God-given
 inheritance. As time goes on and the great facts Of eternal Life as taught in Christian Science, the Science of Life ,are better understood and demon strated, the name of Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Chris tian Science, and the author of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" will stand out in the worlds great hls- tory like star of the first magnitude; and she herself will be honored and loved for what she has done for man kind and for the world

 Cordial Reception Here
 Yesterday

Dr. Francis J. Fluno, member of the board of lectureship of the mother church, the First Church of Christ, Scien- tist, in Boston, addressed a large and ap- preciative audience at the Jefferson thea ire yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock.
 The lecture was under the auspices of the Christian Scientists of Birmingham and was g clear and forceful exposition of the claims of Christian Science. Dr. Flimo spoke in part as follows:
 The claims of Christian Science on the modern world anr the claims of Chris tian Science on the prehistoric age, the ancient age, the medieval age. the pres ent age and the ages to come. It makes no new claims on the modern world; its claims are only new to the limited sense, the finite vision. and the materially be- clouded perception.
 The average man, until awakened by Science, is mainly in his Initial swad- ding clothes and his horizon is marked by the age in which he lives; or, more limited in his life and living, he sees only to the boundaries of his own few years; or. still more limited, sees the way to live and the ways of life only in his own immediate business, church
