Time to Eat.

IF Secretary Tumulty had not broken
UP the White House conference he
tween the President and Senate for
eign relations committee last week
with the suggestion that 1t was time
to eat, the conferees probably still
would be talking.
After the conference had lasted for
three and half hours and lunchtime
was past thirty-five minutes. Tumulty
decided 1t was time for every one, in
cluding himself, to eat. Therefore, he
slipped into the conference room to
see how things were proceeding. He
found peculiar situation. The COM
mittee had invited the President to
be its witness. and so. Of course, he
scarcely could suggest that It was
time to eat. nor could the committee
men, being In the Presidents house,
suggest that they would appreciate
a little less talk and a snack Of some-
thing to eat. Hence. the talk went
on and on and on.
> But Tumulty. being full of Irish in
itiative, slipped over to Senator Lodge,
chairman Of the committee. and whis-
pered that he thought 1t would be a
good plan for the conference to break
up and everybody have a bite to eat.
Lodge Immediately took the tip. and
the official records show this Is what
was said:
:, Senator Lodge: Mr.. President, I do
not wish to Interfere In any way. but
the conference now has lasted three
hours and half. and 1t is half an
hour after lunchtime.
The President: Will you gentlemen
not come in to lunch with me? 1t
will be very delightful.
The party then went to lunch with
the President. and Secretary Tumulty
lunched with Mrs. Wilson and Ray
Baker, director of the mint.

Too Close to Schedule.

president FAIRFAX HARRISON
Of the Alabama Great Southern
railway said at luncheon in Rich
mond:
1.-THE old jokes about poor service
on some Of our southern and western
railroads are antiquated. No trains
in the world are more punctual today
than our trains. and accidents are
practically unknown.

the late traveller" President Fairfax
continued good humoredly, "is an old
one.

The Scarf's the Thing.

Smart as are the summer furs,
there is something more in keeping
with the spirit Of outing dress in tho
scarf. Moreover. summer furs are
extremely expensive: they require
rather more Of ones dress allowance
than one likes to devote to anything
with such q limited field Of use az
the summer fur. For at best you
cannot wear 1t into midsummer, and
the summer fur Is not suitably made
for winter fur.
IN spite OF the fact that the belted
scarf came into vogue more than
twelve months ago, 1t 10 still q good
style. Sometimes the scarfs have
pockets at the ends. just where one
would want them when the scarf is
adjusted about the shoulders. These
scarfs are warm, but light in weight.
Usually they are Of brushed angora,
and there Is no limit as to tho color
possibilities. Sometimes they are
worn as one would wear q sweater.
over one-piece or shirt waist frock
OF washable fabric. and other times
they are worn over sport suit.
The black satin scarf for rather
oressier wear is enjoying q wide
favor. With the silk frock the black
scarf takes the place of a coat. that
Is. you feel not at all uncomfortable
wearing the frock without a coat or
cape, providing you have q scarf, and
the scarf can be 80 managed that It
gives very little actual warmth II
you do not want 1t to. Those black
satin scarfs have brilliant Innings,
which makes 1t possible to achieve
some distinction in them. Yellow
Innings are especially attractive. and
mikado red Is also in good style.
sometimes they are straight, but the
most attractive are fairly narrow at
the center and are widened at the
ends. Some of the scarfs are ofs
bright-colored silk or satin. which
is subdusd by covering of shirred
chiffon. Brown over bright yellow ia
a good combination.
Now, although the scarf seems like
an accessory that yoY could make at
home, 1t Is one of those extremely
simple things that actually requires
considerable skill in the making.
The very fact that 1t is made in a
straight, fiat piece means that 1t
must be made without a single puck
er. and this is something that any
amateur cannot achieve. The more
elaborate frilled neck accessory
might seem more difficult. but in real
ity would be something that you
could make with less difficulty.

often there flows sympathizing

they be not acquainted with either

1t has always been the case in our

cities that people weep alone. In
towns like Morgan City there is al
ways plenty of human sympathy and
unselfishness. 1t is in the city where
mems emotions are deadened, and
where friendships are confined to

CHASTITY Totals

We feel that we cannot too often
impress upon the citizens of yester-
day where 10000 lives and $250,0OO,-
600 in property was destroyed in the
year 1918 by fires in all sections of
this country.
At the annual meeting Of the Ma
tional Association of Fire Marshals
held the other day in New York, the
president of the organization de-
clared that our fire waste from care
lessness is national disgrace, and
that fully forty per cent of the fires
which break out in this country could
have been prevented by using care.
He says, however that the educa-
ton Of the public through the press
is having its influence in reducing
the number and seriousness of fires.
More has been accomplished in the
last two years along this line than
in the ten years preceding. That is
encouraging, and it should serve to
keep us more careful in the future.
The prevention of fires is direct
ly in the hands of the individuals.
The man who permits rubbish heap
to remain where it is apt to catch
fire invites not only waste of prop
erty but of life. If every owner or
tenant, should be heavily fined for
the preventable fire which occurs on
his property, the newspapers of this
country would not have to devote
space to doing just what we are do
ing now-Urging you to be careful
of fire.

For Better Schools

There is one thing the people of
St. Mary's county should look after
this year little closer than in years
gone by. and that is deeper interest
in our public schools, and a heartier
cooperation with those who are in
structing our young people.
The best asset this or any other
community possesses is in its boys
and girls. Into their hands and upon
their shoulders wifi soon fall the task
of running affairs which we are now
looking after. In our advanced
years we are going to Nave to depend
on them to very great extent to
maintain the peace and happiness and
prosperity of this section. For that
reason we should get in closer touch
with them and their instructors, and
show more interest in their work
than we have in the past.
Don's take it for granted your boy
or your girl is getting along all right
IN school. Visit them sometime and
spend an hour listening to them re-
cite their lessons The teachers will
welcome. you, for it helps them to
know you are interested and anxious
to cooperate. Let the little gossip
brought to you from the schoolroom
go for what it is worth-only clrild-
ish prattle. Go over and learn first
hand just what the teacser is doing
to make of your boy or girl the kind
of boy or girl you want them to be.
There is yet lots of room for i'm
rrovement in our schools. But the
children and the teachers cannot ac-
complish it alone. Go yourself for
visit to them, and show that you are
sufficiently interested to do anything
you can to bring them to higher
standard

Modern Improvements n
Snail Towns

There are ! great many people iiv-
ing in New York and Chicago who
do not enjoy our boaster modern inn
provements" anything like the people
living in small towns.
It's remarkable, but true.
There are more telephone subscrib-
ers per capita in the small towns than
in the large citieA
There are more individual users of
electric lights. Hundreds of thous-
ands in our metropolitan centers"
still burn gas as their only illumina-
tion.
As a rule, homes in the smaller
towns are Of more recent build and
are crammed full of modern improve
ments. There are thousands of homes
in the large cities that were built at
about the time of the Civil War and
are still in use-huge, brick, "imper-
ishable" structures, with ali the mod
cIu dppuI tcHdHSIeS VI TIC SiSH wal
period still intact
There are more users of automo-
biles per capita in the small cities and
agricultural states than in the large
cities, tho there naturally are more
machines concentrated on the streets
in the large centers.
And as for sewers, sidewalks,
streets, ETC., the average small Amer
lean town has nothing to be ashamed
of when compared with the big cities.
1t may not possess boulevards and
great parks, but it has other things
just as modern and more generally
and generously distributed.
