that both cities are by no means shoul-

During the next few months the Fed

ably more than the<,combined expendi-
lures in the entire South-yet there is
apparently no effort being made to
raise the allotted amounts to the Lib
erty loan campaign. Urgent appeals
for greater activity have been wired
bankers In both cities.
WEST VIRGINIA EXPECTED
TO SUBSCRIBE MAXIMUM
Governor George J. Seay, OF the Fed
eral Reserve Bank, received a report
yesterday over the ong-distance tele-
phone from a prominent West Virginia
banker, saying that that State was be-
ing stirred as never before. This banker
had just completed an automobile trip,
during which he visited forty-seven
financial institutions. and said there
was the greatest activity in practically
every section of the State. There is
little doubt in tho minds of those d.
rccting the campaign in West Virginia
Governor Seay said, that the State will
subscribe the maximum amount al
lotted to It.
There was no let up In the campaign
in Richmond even over Sunday, and
bankers are determined to reach the
S20.00o.000 goal before the campaign
closes at the end Of the week. Visitors
to Richmond have declared the local
organization to be the best they had
found in any section Of the country.
and this Is largely responsible for this
city passing its maximum apportion-
ment many days before the close of the
movement
Ministers in the various churches in
Richmond yesterday urged the people
to subscribe to the bonds to the end
that the war may be shortened, and
the lives of American fighting men
saved. Not only Is 1t patriotic to sub
scribe to the bonds in the nations hour
Of trial and need, but It is also an
economic measure, and will teach the
principles Of thrift in every homo In
which there is a Liberty boLd.
Six bank clerks will continue this
morning the canvassing of the con-
structioh forces employed at Camp
Lee, whils the banks will complete the
checking up Of subscriptions obtained
by the 100 statesmen last week. A
number Of speakers will visit various
manufacturing plants to-day to urge
all wage-earners to subscribe to the
loan and save out of their earnings the
necessary money for the purchase of
the bonds.

MANY years ago, when Louis XIV was
sent an Ambassador to Paris. the tash-
ionable parisiaus were astounded at the
richness of the costumes worn by the ann
bassadoria party. and in their enthusiastic
appreciation Of the Chinese art in dress
adopted many of the Far Eastern modes
once again the Chinese influence is
strongly felt in the realm Of fashion Rare

So wonderful are the trimmings. tassels'

It would seem that only an Aladdns palace

There are head-dresses of exquisite work

The ancient Chinese of the upper class

have gone insane over religion have al
ways been those who dealt with and lived
largely in the abstract side because they
thought it so spiritual
True spirituality comes as the result
OF the development Of all Of ones facul-
ties evenly and harmoniously. To deal
only with the abstract side OF life is to
become abnormally developed, and the
same is true when one deals only with
the concrete or material side.
Few persons lack the ability to con-
centrate. Nearly every one can concen-
trate his mind on anything which inter-
ests, irritates or annoys him. The trouble
with most OF us is not because OF our in
ability to concentrate, but rather that
most of the time we concentrate on what
we do not want; that is done unconscious
ly and ignorantly. The lack OF regularity
In the use Of the will power is where the

|SEI4F-RELIANCE AND SUCCESS
A MATTER OF CONCENTRATION
Well-Drected Thought Cannot Fail to Shape Our
Lives Self f-Expression Should Be
Encouraged in the Child

NOR many generations children have
4 been taught repression. When a child
manifested an unusual amount OF origi-
nallty steps were Immediately taken to
make 1t more like other children" to
form It after the accepted and approved
pattern. Or II 1t displayed cocksureness
IT was told II had big head" and any
further self-expression was discouraged.
Nowadays psychologists who have the
welfare OF the young at heart are maxi
ing careful study Of the effects OF differ.
ent courses OF training, and as a result
new theories and methods are being
evolved Witness the Montessori school,
for instance.
This same principle applies to older per-
sons. Self-expression brings with it self
reliance, and with this quality comes sue
cess.
In an interesting treatise on the value
OF concentration, +. w. Sears says: The
world is full OF people who are afraid and
who knOU they are failures. They un-
consciously concentrate upon their weak
nesses, frailties and faults instead OF
upon their good qualities, and so they
see and TO concentrate upon the good in
anything it seems to be so much easier
to pick out the bad the destructive side
and concentrate upon it,"
And in answer to ones statement that
II is inn possible TO concentrate because
of crowds OF noise or something else, the
writer tells us: "One can learn TO con-
centrate while walking along Broadway,
riding in crowded subway. eating din
ner in a restaurant, just as we'll as in the
secluson of ones own room.
MANY persons mistake the going into
silence as being the only true method of
concentration. 1t is true that this is
one form, but It is also true that it is a
most destructive form when persisted in
for any length OF time. The people who
