Senator Laney is the author Of a
bill that guarantees to every school
district that levies a local tax of
eight mills or more for school pur-
poses that their school will run for
seven months in the year, the State
of South Carolina furnishing the
money to make good any deficit in
running expenses. Already %
schools in Chesterfield county have
a levy Of eight mills and, therefore,
each of these are now guaranteed
seven-months school. 1t is to hoped
that all the other school districts will
raise their levy to eight mills and
thereby obtain State aid to run the
schools for the full term of seven

Mr.. w. w. SPENCER PASSED
AWAY LAST MONDAY

Mr.. w. w. Spencer, one of Ches-

to be romeved to his home. Death
was due to old age.
Mr.. Spencer had served his county

years and had taught school both at
Chesterfield and Cheraw. He was
universally loved and respected for
his excellent character and good dis
position. He is survived by his

DOMESTIC SERVICE
COURSES PLANNED
Trained me-Maker Is to Have
an Eight Hour Day and Stand
ard Minimum Wage. Al

Courses for training home assist
ants, who will 20 into the home by the
day. hour or week and work on q
schedule of hours and fixed wages,
have been inaugurated by the Young
Women's Christian Association as q
means for meeting the problem of do,
mestic service.
The object OF this course, now being
tried out in New York City. is to place
domestic service on the same dignified
basis as clerical work, trained nursing
or other professions open to women.
The home assistant will work eight
hours 4 day for salary Of SIS q week.
She will not live in the home Of her
employer or take her meals there. She
will have an hour for luncheon, when
she can 20 to restaurant or eat a
lunch which she has brought with her
Just az she would were she employed
In a factory. The employer will not
address the home worker by her first
name. She will be Miss Smith or Mrs.
Brown, as the case may be.
Applicants for the course are care
fully selected, and registrants are ap-
pearing in large numbers. With the
same independence as to recreation
hours, places Of eating and living a.
the factory girl, house-work has a
greater appeal. as being less monoto-
nous and more interesting work. to the
average woman.
The course Is a thorough one In plain
cooking, waiting on table and door,
chamber work, plain sewing, care Of
children, making Of menus and the
washing and ironing OF light things.
Heavy work 10 to he done by outside
workers. On graduation the student
receives a certificate which proves her
qualification as a dependable home
worker capable Of attending to all ordi-
nary duties In a home.
The Young Women's Christian Asso-
ciation has been interested in the prob
lem Of domestic service both from the
standpoint Of the employee and from
that Of the employer for some years.
The first commission on Household
Employment made its report at the
NTH national convention of the Young
Women's Christian Association held In
Los Angeles, Cal, In May, 1915.
The difficulties of attracting capable
women to this neld Of work were laid
to the long hours, lack Of Independence
In arranging recreation hours, lack Of
opportunities for growth and progress
and lack Of social standing.
Girls have acquired a distaste for
the conditions which govern household
work since the freedom they have ex-
perienced in working in munition fac
tories. BY standardizing domestic serv-
ice 1t is believed by the Young Wo-
mems Christian Association that q
higher type Of worker may be at
iracted to the necessary work In homes.

Governor Cooper appeared before
the General Assembly Tuesday night
and appealed to them not to adjourn
Saturday without passing a good
roads law. He suggested that the
license tax on automobiles be in
creased and a property tax and an
extra tax on abutting property own
ers adjacent to the roads to be built
lie levied. The governor said the
people did not mind paying out their
money if they got the benefits from
it, that the present system was wrong
and it was up to the legislature to
enact proper law that would bring
good roads to South Carolina.
There are hopes that the present
high cost of living will soon come
down to normal. Already eggs are
cheaper; pork in the Chicago market
has decreased considerably; dressed
hogs can now be bought on the
worlds greatest meat market for 18
and 10 cents a pound. Butter has
fallen forty per cent. Dry goods are
off five to seven cents a yard and
worsted goods thirty to sixty cents
yard. Coal is getting cheaper.
Prices all along the line are falling.
The Federal Reserve Board in their
annual report covering last year and
in their forecasts for 1919 say that
prices will gradually be restored to
normal. The war is over and the day
of advancing prices is gone.
The State Highway Commission
announces that it has received
$3O0,00O,000 from last years auto
licenses. Four dollars out every five
of this was returned to the respec-
| tive county treasurers to be spent in
those counties for road work under
the direction of the county supervis-
ors. The other dollar was spent by
the Highway Commissioner in paying
for license tags, engineers salaries,
surveys, etc. To date projects in FL
counties have been surveyed and ap-
proved and 100000 federal govern
ment money has been secured for
these projects, five of which are al
reA&y under construction. Chester
field county's share of the automo-
bile license tax last year was around
four thousand dollars. This money
was sent to the county treaurer and
disbursed under the orders of the
supervisor and the county commits
sioners. This years share of auto
taxes has not yet been received. -

Flour Sold to Hoover
For Relief Of Armenians

Herbert Hoover sold the Ameri-
can Committee for Relief in the
Near East seven thousand tons of
flour, the flour at the time of the
sale being on a ship in the Mediter-
ranean. The price of the cargo was
81 100000, and Immediately on the
closing of the bargain, the Relief
Committee ordered the ship by wire
less to head at once for Constanti-
nople, from which point the flour
will be distributed to the starving
districts in Armenia, Syria, and
other Near Eastern countries. This
however, say relief workers is only a
drop in the bucket as compared with
the widespread need of these peo-
Piles, and several more thousand
tons of provisions must be sent to
drive starvation out of Western
Asia.

TALL HAT STILL IN VOGUE
Headaear That Has Been Object Of
Ridlcuie for Many Years Manages
70 Retain Popularity.

For some 80 years the tall hat has
been an object Of ridicule with humor-
lists. The war, it was thought, would
cause Its disappearance, but 1t has re-
sisted all attacks. A recent photo
graph showing q group Of allied states
men In conversation-loyd George,
NJ. Clemenceau, and Baron Sonnino-
depicted them all wearing this sem
blem Of western civilization"
There is considerable difference Of
opinion ON the origin Of the tall hat.
The Encyclopaedia Britannica un-
has;tatingly declares that the tall hat
is .coextensive with civilization" and
asserts chat 1t was invented 10 Flor"
ence about 170O. On the other hand.
the London Times Of January 16. 1877,
reports that John Hethertngton. haber-
dasher, Of the Strand, was charged
with causing a riot through wearing
hat shaped like q stove-pipe." When
brought before the magistrates he de-
clared that all British citizens had the
right Of choosing the type OF hat which
they believed most suitable Earlier
than this, however, in 1890, Benjamin
Franklin visited Paris In q tail hat.
and Immediately the Partisan hatmak-
ers flooded the shops with similar hats,
which. history tells us. were adopted
by the revolutionaries because they
came from the land Of liberty.
