WHAT SCHWAB DREAMED.

The following anecdote was told by Charles M. Schwab at the convention of the Reconstruction Congress of the United States Chamber of Commerce. Do you know" said MT. Schwab. the other night when l was down at Bethlehem I had dream. I dreamt that l ought to go to con- fession to tell some of the things I did twenty-odd years ago when a lot or big corporations were formed. You hhO", l had a little to do with the formation Of one of them, at least. But in my dream I seemed to feel that I ought not to Ko to confession. unless l took MT. Morgan with me, But chen l remembered MT. Morgan was a Protestant, while I was Cath olic and, in the dream, I couldn't figure out for a long time how I was E3ing to bring Morgan to the confes- sional.
 But then happy thought struck me remembered that my parish priest, good Father Zahm, who is sit ting here on the platform, had a sympathy as broad as charity. and SC l asked him if 1 could bring Morgan to confession. He thought it owe, | for a while and concluded that he 1 would strain point and receive MT Morgan's confession with my own. A few days later. as l dreamed the | dream, We went to confession anc told Father Zahm-Mr. Morgan anG Ia lot of things thmt we had never told anybody else before and we nev. CT told anybody else afterward ! Finally, when We seemed to be al through with our stories, the goot father said:
 You fellows wait here for a little and I'll be back
 Tt seemed to me that he was gone an unconscionabIe while, and l wa: | getting nervous. 1 waited a whil. longer, and then I said to MT. Nor i gan:
 '" Where do you suppose he'i 1 gone? and Mir. Morgan replied:
 "'Oh, he's just gone out in som, | other part of the church and will b. 1 back shortly
 T thought for a moment, and ther 1 l said Don't you believe it. As sur,
 as shooting. he's gone for a cop '''- | Forbes Magazine.

SUMMER PREDICTIONS.

Two impressions are created at first glance at the new summer apparel that Is being shown for southern wear; the first is, 1t is to be a white summer: the second. that the khaki kool eilk and the various satins are likely to have things all their own way.
 The white idea arrives from the endless array of white suits, skirts, coats, sweaters, hats dresses, blouses, seen at every turn. Even the sport things are all white, one charming suit of white crepe poplin showing the merest vestee of rose red broad cloth to relieve It's entirely plain sur face.
 The new coats are perfectly straight and cut on the go-called box lines They hang straight from the shoulder and without fulness. The sleeves are long and tight and the skirts, by the same token, are too. In fact this also $ one Of the es- abolished surprises. Skirts are in deed longer, quite ankle length.
 A new rough surfaced silk fabric which resembles the khaki kool of some seasons ago appears in plaids, blacks and stripes and well deserves it's pretty name, "'Comme-ce, Comme- ca" which can betranslated into Afro American language to mean '1ika dis, lika-d dat" for that is the way the satin is combined through the silken surface. These new fabrics are en- chantingly lovely and make the pret- tiest skirts for summer wear that can be found in days journey.
 One of the clever ways of handling them is that of making the skirt of one of the gaily colored plaid mix lures with a straight box coat of plain colored shaggy, rough silk like the khaki kool or shantung One such has 8 skirt of strawberry pink pIaided through with pink satin. The little coat is stunning, made of the rough plain silk, To go with this is cun- ming little poke bonnet of the plaid silk on top and satin pink straw fac ing the underneath brim. The only trimming is a circlet of brown vel vet leaves which surrounds the crown and is set up jauntily at the back. The newest notion is that of mak- ing the summer hat of the same ma terial as the dress, and also the para sol. A perfectly darling (school
 words, but these things call for such as they are of school girl loveliness) little voile hat is made of rose pink thickly dotted with white.
 It is in mushroom shape and with it is an exquisite parasol of the same white dotted rose pink voile and with a long white wood handle The dress has only d wide girdle the exact shade of the voile to break the long lines and relieve it of monotony

THE BRITISH MUSEUM.

While many libraries in Europe, and not few on this side of the At lantic, have made imposing collec- ttons of war literature, it is probable that the greatest oi these Is to be found within the walls of the British Museum and its newspaper depart ment.
 The British Museum celebrates to- day its 160th birthday. as it was es- abolished on Jan. 15, 1759, when the doors of the institution were opened 10 the public. It was Sir Hans Sloane, an Irish-born physician Of Scotch extraction, who laid the foun- dations for the great museum. Sloane was created baronet-a title to which no English physician had before attained-a little over two centuries ago, in recognition Of his labors in writing a Natural History of Jamaica" His library of 50,OO0 volumes and 3,556 manuscripts, and his remarkable collection of natural history and art objects, he bequeath- cd to the government, on condition that his daughters be paid $100,0 900, which sum scarcely exceeded the value of the gold and silver medals, ores and the precious stones in his collection. Sir Hans was 93 when he died. although he had been a slckly youth, and had been attacked by tuberculosis
 Several other collections were ad- ded to that of Sloane before the museum was formally opened in Montague House in 1759. Its growth was so rapid that new buildings had 10 be erected in 1922, and subsequent yeara have brought many additions.
 II has been said that the British Museums library contains all the books ever printed, but this is of course a great exaggeration. Of the books published in England since the invention of printing about 75 per cent. are now to be found on the shelves of the British Museum, and the percentage Is being gradually in creased by purchases and gifts of old books and the receipt of new book: required by the British copyright law.
 The Literary Lady of Blooms bury" as the British Museum is known, requires a tidy sum for her upkeep. Although the gifts to the museum represent tremendous value, the institution costs the British public in the nelghborhood of a mi. lion dollars a year.

The last message received this morning states that Mrs Cable has Q chance for re- covery.
 The body Of Peggy Cable arrived on the 1:22 train and interment was in Mt. Grove cemetery.

MARRYING SOLDIERS

The government is taking notice of the fact that many women are trying to entrap the returning soldiers into hastJ7 and i'll considered marriages. The motive in many eases is declared to be merely a desire to profit by the soldiers insurance money. In others it is mere infatuation with anything in uniform. That may not be blameworthy but it indicates a silly and i'll trained girl. She should have some one looking after her. Licensing authorities in many cen ters where soldiers gather have been given a questionaire covering these points. They will endeavor to dis suade soldiers from too great matri- monial haste.
 The soldiers will find themselves the center of unlimited admiration when they get home. The fellow who didn't go will be a dead one in society. It will be a sight to see the girls cluster around the khaki. These boys will come pretty near having their pick if they wish to marry It will be hard for some of them to keep their heads from being turn ed
 It will be sucn relief for the boys to get back and resume ordinary so- cial life, that any wholesome Ameri- can girl will look awfully good to them. But they have seen more of life than when they left the good old town Of Bonneville. Not many will care to hitch up with vampires and insurance seekers. They realize also that they have their way to make in the world. They have probably acquired some worldly pru- dence
 They will find right in old l.ome- vile just the right kind of home making girls that they ought to have. Chance acquaintances they may make on the way may be very charming, but not so likely to be a sure depend | ence. Some one from the old home town, from the setting and environ ment they were always used to, will | usually be more dependable.

 dent Leonard if his duties were too pressing to prevent him from tele-
 phoning to Chief Johnson informing ] him of the circumstances. Fully had ! no excuse to offer

BE PRETTY! TURN
 GRAY HAIR DARK
Try GranGmOtheTs old Favor ite Recipe Of Sage Tea
 and Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur properly compound ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded streak or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and trouble some. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for ''Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound" you will get large bottle of this famous old recipe, inn proved by the addition of other in gradients, at a small cost
 Don't stay gray! 14y it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another ap- plication or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. ---AdY.

SPORTING NOTES

The policy of the new owners of the New York Giants will be a pre- gressive one. They favor broad meas ures which will tend to put the game back on the plane upon wheh it rested previous to the havoc ere ated by the war, and will not sup port movements smacking of petty economy. They believe that if club owners show a lack of confidence in the future. of baseball this sentiment is bound to be reflected in the atti- tude of the public, which is a bit of very sound reasoning. One Of the things they will advocate when they sit in at the league councils for the first time is a large player limit They will oppose restricting the length of the training season, believing thai this matter is one for the individual club owners to decide, and they vii, put themselves on record as being unfavorably disposed toward plans to train the clubs in their respec 1 tive home cities.
