and Sir Edward Grey stood once
in a forest in England when they

world politics. Instead they were
exchanging stories about the songs

White House he always welcomed
such men as John Burroughs and
other naturalists, big game hun

work in Africa and South Amer

memory, which was absolutely en-

months in the White House, and
in the few he spent in Oyster Bay,
in preparation for the African
journey, I sent him the Natural

One Use for Pajamas.

The narrow skirt-which you will
have to accept, whether you take the
short FRENCH or the long American
version of it-pleads for the use OF
the bifurcated under garment. Hence
the present vogue for the elaborate
chiffon or georgette boomers made
to YEA with dance frocks and other
evening attire.
And, by the way, the pajamas of
chiffon and lace, and other fabrics
so dainty and delicate that they
would really be but poorly suited as
a substitute for the robe de unit"
are not infrequently used as a COM
bination under garment to be worn
with the rather elaborate house
gown, or robe "~chezelle," that
has of late been adopted as a sub
stitute for the evening gown when
one dimes or passes the evening at
home with intimates.

BOTH is 'sOLD HICKORY"
Fighting Thirtieth True to First
Love-Not Called Wild Cat.

The Thirtieth division, soon to
come home from France bringing
many South Carolina soldiers, is the
old Hickory division in spite of a
practice recently established of call
ing it the wild Cat" division, said
to have finally reached the war de-
partment, where it is unoficially list
ed as both "Old Hickory and Wild
Cat"
The Eighty-frst division while at
Camp Jackson was officially named
the "Stonewall" disvision and as it's
insignia on uniforms and equip
ment was a wild cat it was known
both as the "Stonewall' and wild
Cat" division. The Thirtieth was
officially designated the "Old Hick-
ory'' division before it left Camp Sc
vier and retained the name to the
last in France.
First hand testimony that the
Thirtleth was and is the Old Hlck-
ory'' division and not the wild Cat"

sue and are averse to delay. On that
account they suggested that an i'm
mediate tax of 81 per horse power
with a special road tax of one or two
mills will get something Immediately
done. In other words, they figure
that one mill will raise $3S0,OOO;
two mills will raise ~s760,O00. With
a dollar per horse power license tax
on automobiles, supplemented by the
federal aid, it is figured that there
would be over s3,000,O00 of funds
available annually without delay,
and if this method be continued
there would be an expenditure OF,
say, three millions, and this would
get what some argue quicker results
than to wait on a bond issue.
Of course, there is going to be a
great deal of contention as to what
work should be done. Some legisla-
tors already openly and avowedly
say that they are not going to do
anything. to help a bond issue unless
their counties get full share of the
new roads. 1t is argued that the
best thing to do is to have a scheme
that will connect up all the counties
and to provide for a north and south
and east and west artery through ev-
cry county as far as practicable, but
to give each county a certain amount
of mileage aid then later on connect
up these fractions.
1t is agreed by all that haphazard
construction and Indifferent engi-
neering should be abandoned, and
that whatever system is to be devel-
oped should be mapped out by a CEN
trail board, preferably the State
Highway Commission, and that then
these links al be connected up. To
popularize the scheme a certain
amount of permanent work will have
to be done in every county, and
where this is along a we'll developed
plan, and a system that can be con-
nected up, it might be practical.
AS to the Constitutional Convention
The indications now are that the
people will in 1920 be given an OPP
portunity Of voting whether or not
they will want a constitutional con-
vention held. The senate, which has
heretofore been a stumbling block,
has voted in favor of submitting the
question to the people. The resolu-
ton in favor of submitting the issue
to the people has been passed by the
| senate and is now under considera-
ton on the house side, where it has
heretofore always prevailed.
Liquor! 1t almost sounds like a
ghost reappearing in the legislative
halls. Generally there are a score or
more of measures undertaking to
solve this problem. This year there
has been no mention of bone dry"
or anything else along that line. One
little bill has been presented under
taking to change the quart-a-month
law to one gallon a month, but with
national prohibition fast approach
ing the legislators evidently think
there are too many other axes to
grind to- even consider liquor as a
| real question. There has been, how
| ever, presented a double-barrel
| measure which undertakes to pre-
vent the sale of tonics and other
| connections on which real DRINKS
| can be had. AUGUST KOHN.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Combined
recommendations of many experts on
relations with foreign born citizens
were given to the Interior Departm ent
to-day at the close of the national
Amerlcanlzation conference programme
on solldifying the various racial ele-
ments of the nation.
Details of the recommendations were
not made public, but it was under
stood that one of the basic suggestions
was that all such work should be kept
absolutel y free of religious and politi-
cal talnt. The public school was in
dorsed as the best means of assimilat
ing alien children.
Protests of foreign born citizens
against any suspicion of force in at
tempting to make citizens of immi-
grants or of requiring them to learn
English were needed in the advice that
Amerlcanlzatio never should be i'm
posed, but should develop from within
outward.
Permanent government organization
to teach all young Americans to con-
serve material resources was advocated
by Z; Z. Keenan,, Deputy Appraiser of
the Port of New York, at the conclud-
ing session of the conference. He de-
clared that for fifteen years America
