Fine Public Response and Occasion
Was Delightful Affair.

The dance given under the au-
spices of the local branch OF the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks at
the Gilmer Hotel Wednesday night
was a most delightful affair and was
attended by a large crowd.
The public response to the occa'
sion was most encouraging and cor
dial and the local extends thankS
and appreciation for the cooperation
of everyone.
Dancing was enjoyed until a late
hour and music was furnished by an
orchestra. Delicious refreshments
were served durin gthe evening.
The big dining room of the hotel
was attractively decorated in the
national colors for the occasion and
every arrangement and detail was
complete and splendidly managed.
An official of the brotherhood, Mr..
L. NJ. Muir, of Meridian, special or
ganizer, was among the out-of-town
guests. The local here is a compar-
atively new organization and its eff

ANTIQUATED CUSTOMS,

The Farm Journal comes on
strongly in favor of discardin(
ancient formulas whose only me
rit is in the reverence we pay tC
age, and Of adopting practical
sensible and tried methods il
their place. When the Manchus
conquered China they required
the natives to wear pigtalls as a
mark of servtitude The real sig
nificance of the pigtail was lost
sight of in subsequent centuries
and what was intended to distin-
guish the conquered from the con
querors became an universal Gus
tom with the Chinese people until
the influx of western ideas Jared
the more progressive away from
their traditions and off came
these useless and unbeautiful at
tachments,
Did it ever occur to you, says
the journal, that we are wearing
pigtails forced upon our English
ancestors by the Germans several
centuries ago? Our pigtails are
the senseless jumble of units we
use in weighing and measuring
Who knows the proper size Of a
quart eup2 How many sizes Of
quart cups are in common use ?
How many bushels of wheat
could be put in bin six feet nine
inches wide, eight feet three
inches long and seven feet five
inches highY How many acres in
a field 1,065 feet seven inches by |
326 feet three inches Gould you
figure these out without consult
ing bookY
Germany discarded this sense
less system in 1871. She counted
much ON the confusion she knew
would arise when England and
France tried to cooperate in the
recent war, She knew one of them
had a real system of weights and
measures and that the other had
not.
A Detroit factory discarded its
pigtails and adopted the decimal
sytem of weights and measures
and increased its output 80 per
cent with the same working force.
A common laborer took the pla Sc,
of high priced expert in the
department, and made
fewer mistakes than the expert,
The adoption of the decimal sys-
tenn in factory saves 20 per cent
Of the cost Of bookkeeping alone.
And that is no small item of ex-
Dense.
Our children lose two years in
heir arithmetic work with our
present system. These two years
ought to be applied to learning
useful. England and
United States are the only civil
zed nations that still wear weight
md measure pigtails. Why not
ldopt the decimal system similar
o what we have for our money?

were before us it was impossible,
and it would have been wrong,
to have fixed our minds upon the
, better side Of German nature.
But to deny that there is a bet
ter side and that it can be ap-
pealed to, while it may take a
considerable stretch of magma
tion to believe it, is a counsel Of
despair. The editor Of the Review
magazine is of the opinion that
no reasonable person can deliber-
ately assert such a proposition.
Unspeakable evil as has been the
conduct of Germany, it has been
the result not merely of ineradi-
cable qualities of character, but
III an immeasurable degree the
outcome of false teachings.
The gradual spread of teach
ings of wholly different kind
will be the natural sequel, after
the first resentment has had time
to cool, Of the humiliation and
disaster which today for the first
time she fully realizes. Whether
the better side of mind will uIti-
mately prevail only the future
can tell. But surely the rest of |
The world can do no les than to |
give to those Germans who repre- |
sent the betetr mind, if such can
oe found, every possible chance
% eradicate among their country
men the poison of the past, and
. make possible in the not too
Instant future the return of good
will between them and the rest Of
he world, and the restoration of
reasonable degree Of honesty as
principle for guide to con
luct. Shall we not hope that
ome day Germany may be a
worthy sister in the family Of ma
ions.-Tulsa World

SHALL WE HOPE?

The sinking of the German bat
tleships is only another illustra-
tion of the peculiar psychology of
the German mind which regards
the questions of right and wrong
as dependent or upon the inter
est of Germany or the Germans.
1t is what might have been ex-
pected when the allies trusted one
single thing to German honor.
Their sense Of honor does not go
farther than that conception of
self-interest What is sinful if
done against Germany's interest
Is not only excusable but laugh
able if done in its favor. 1t is fol
ly to trust the Hun and the allies
have suffered loss which they
had no reason to expect to avoid
when they left the care of the
ships in German hands. SO far
from condemning the dishonor of
the German admiral, the people
of Germany show disposition to
be rather proud of it.
Yet is this an ineorrigible con
dition? For five long years the
world has been filled with amaze
ment and horror at the spectacle
which German ruthlessness and
megalomania have presented.
While those appalling facts

Crystals Of Unlimited Size.

Artificial crystals Of great regular
ity and clearneSs. and Of almost un-
limited size, are claimed as products
Of the perfected process Of II. w.
Moore, an American physicist. The
usual growing Of crystals consists in
cvap0rating the solution in which n
little crystal is suspended as nu-
clcus. In the new method, the SOlu-
tion Is kept slightly SupcrSaturatcd,
and tho growth continues as long rs
this condition is maintained. CryS-
tails Of Rochelle salt ($Odium-potas-
stun tartratc) more than three inches
long and two inches thick have been
produced, with all surfaces ana angles
perfect. This salt is most soluble
ia hot water, and approximation IS
obtained by diSSolvinG in hot water,
and slightly cooling. With the aid Of :,
thcrlnoStat the temperature is so rcgu-
lated as TO keep up the SupcrSaturatcd
condition. The seed crystal is SuS.
pended in tho solution OF the material
and growth Is said to continue indrf
intcly with efficient control.

REMEDIES or THE DAYS PAST
Plants, Berries, Weeds and Roots
Among Ancient Remedies Used
for Cure Of Ailments.

Quaint malady remedies OF the past,
many of which led to wealth on the
part Of the inventors, were nearly all
made Of berry plants and many Of
common weeds. Pokeberries, years
ago, were used to make plaster for
cancer, and grapevine sap was pre-
pared for hair tonics. To produce
sweat, tea was made from magnolia
leaves and the berry Of this plant was
often mentioned as cure for con-
sumption.
For toothache, the veteran prnc-
titloner used the bnyberry root Ber-
ries Of the cedar tpee were supposed
to stlffen the spine, and purge was
made Of alder buds or OF elderberries.
The goldenrod, the MULLEN plant, the
burdock, and common weeds were also
held forth as cures for various all
ments.
'Tuscarora rice" invented by Phil
adelphia woman, and held forth as a
cure for tuberculosis, enabled the prac-
titioner to secure a fortune for her
self. 1t was nothing more than hom-
my made from Indian corn.

Mrs. Bridget McFIugh, the oldest
"pit-brow" woman in the Pemberton,
Eng coal field, is dead at the age Of
so years. For more than half cen
tury she had worked at the mines.
"Old Bridget" as Mrs McHugh was
familiarly called, was hale and
hearty, strongly built woman who
could use a shovel in filling mine cars
as well as any man, and was always
looked upon as an expert pit-brow
worker, few being her equal. The
shorter working day was unknown
to her, and summer and winter, rain
or shine, she was accustomed to leave
home Mt five o'clock every morning,
and was in her place at the coal bank
before the whistle sounded at six. Her
day continued until five or six 4t
night. Mrs. McHugh was grand

"PAL" GOOD WORD, BUT SLANG
Torn In Good Society Accepted as
Meaning "Chum;" In Vocabulary OF
Crime Stands for AccompIice.

The dictionary recognizes the right
Of "pal" to inclusion In our language,
though designating it as slang. Like
many words thus classed, it is terse
way Of expressing a relationship
readily understood but not so easily
defined. In good society it is accepted
as meaning Il chum, q cOngeninl COM
panion; in the vocabulary Of crime
1t stands for confederate or accom-
plice.
The most natural and instructive
thing in life Is a desire for congenial
companionship only the abnormally
developed mentality can live on
sufficiently exalted--or shall we say
lf-centered-plane as to other per-
sonaities.
A pal is an intimate friend Of either
sex. to whom one may talk as the
heart BEATS" may confide hopes, fears,
happiness and disappointments, GER
tain the trust will not be betrayed.
| Between opposite sexes Is excludes
| lovemaking or "spooning," but means
q broad, intelligent, faithful, yet subtle
| friendship, since all friends are not
| pals; not necessarily unnnimity Of
opinion, but disposition to "agrcc
to disagree" IN case Of differences
There is tacit respect for each
others individuality.
Perhaps one OF the best tests of q
pal is that the two enjoy silence to-
gcther; there Is sense OF companion
ship in being together without tho
constant trickle Of words which most
of us feel necessary unless one would
be thought unsocial.-Dctroit Free
