These are values that cannot be duplicated,
as blouses of this kind are steadily increas-
ing in price. Some Of the lot are slightly
soiled from handling, but all are perfect in
broidered, beaded and lace trimmed georg-
cites, tailored crepe de chimes and other
styles, in round and square necks, showing
sailor and roll collars.
Very special values at 1896.

ORDERS OF COURT
HALTS RAILWAYS
Rates Can Not Be Raised in New
York-State Claims War Pow
ers Have Expired Under
Which Increases Are

New York, Nov. 27.-All railroads
operating in New York state have
been restrained from raising their in
trastate rates next Monday, Deputy
Attorney General Edward G. Griffin
announced here today in making
public temporary injunctions issued
by Supreme Court Justice Cropsey
late last night.
In two orders the roads are in
structed to show cause why the in
functions should mot be continued
pending trial of an action for a per-
nanent restraint of the lines from
charging yates in excess of those IN
effect prior to May %, 191S-the
state claiming that the war powers
have expired by which rates were in
creased above that limit.
The first order names the Long
Island and the Staten Island Rapid
Transit railroads and is returnable
next Monday in Brooklyn. The Sec
ond names the New York Central, the
the Pennsylvania and the other COM
panies, and is returnable Saturday

GIFTS OF JOHN D.
CONSUME MONTHS
IN PREPARATION

New York, Nov. 27.-When John
D. Rockefeller wishes to give the
public some of his wealth, the pro-
cess of preparing and announcing
the gifts is neither so brief OF simple
as the world may suppose.
Each of the four enormous bene-
factions set aside by the richest of
men, with their present grand total
of nearly half billion dollars, rep
resents months of activity among
clerks, investigators, attorneys and
finally publicity men.
These last, with fine sense of dra-
matte values, make formal an
nouncement of the gifts.
This is the story of how that gift

BROTHER AND SISTER
MAGAZINE AND BOOKS
From Detroit News.

From Detroit News.
Translations into the Japanese OF
American and European children's
books are made with two versions
one for boys and one for girls. From
the time babies are cuddled in the
grandparents arms songs of brave
warriors are crooned to little master,
and proverbs of patient wives recited
in baby talk to girls. In games and
celebrations there is no similarity.
Six years in the elementary school
represent the only time in japanese
life when the sexes associate freely
together. Before and after. that
short period their lives are separate
in work, in pleasure, in ambitions.
Even the most progressive juvenile
magazines are published in couples
the brothers number and the sisters
number. The boys number contains
stories encouraging manly virtues.
The girls number has stories Of gen.
tleness and sacrifice. The interesting
thing is that both have the same
translated serial running at the same
time. The magazines are equal in
literary merit, but even the HAIKU
bunkan, the big house that leads all
Japan, is careful to select it's material
in accordance with the old-establish-
ed rule. Were this not done, it is
unquestionably true that neither the
brother. nor sister magazines could be
popular or self supporting.

WHITE PLAGUE CLAIMS
SCORES OF VICTIMS

Tuberculosis Takes Heavy Toll A.
mong Industrial Workers-Plan
To Combat Disease.
Referring to the fact that the sale
of Christmas seals had been indorsed
by the South Carolina State Fedora
ton of Labor and by Samuel Comp
ers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, J. Nelson Frierson,
president of the South Carolina Tu-
berculosis association, said yester-
day that figures compiled by the Ma
tional tuberculosis association show
that most of the victims of tubercu-
losis are industrial workers. Many
are from the farm, he said. Nearly
all are producers of the things on
which modern life depends.
."Tuberculosis takes it greatest toll
among workers between the ages of
18 and 49," said Mr.. Frierson. Fright
now more than one million persons
in this country are. suffering from
active tuberculosis. Of course, they
have had to give up their work.
Think of what an enormous eco
nomic loss this entails. Probably
one million more have tuberculosis
in it's inactive form, Any weakness
due to illness or unusual strain may
at any time transform these inactive
cases into active cases.
"Tuberculosis menaces every com
munity, every home, every individ'
ual. The economic loss to the nation
amounts to more than half billion
dollars each year.
"Yet tuberculosis is durable ano
preventable. All of the suffering il
occasions can be averted. All Of the
lives it takes are wasted. Tubercu
losis is spread largely by ignorance
carelessness and neglect, the doctor:
tell US. 1t can be controlled by sys
tematic, ceaseless effort.
"The South Carolina Tuberculosis
association is waging continucu:
war on this dread affliction. Our or
ganization is financed chiefly by tho
sale of tuberculosis Christmas seals
We have adopted a budget calling fol
$4,000 next year which will enable
US to wage winning fight. To dc
this we must sell $4,000 worth o1
Christmas seals and health bond:
between today and Christmas"
Abbeville County has been appor'
toned four hundred dollars of this
amount. These Christmas seals viii
be found at each of the drug stores
also committee of ladies from the
town and county will give the public
an opportunity to assist in this good
work.

was launched: Thereafter remains
are dollars donated to sit back and
gasp, held in his hand.
These are some of the interesting
things 1 found out when was as
signed to "cover" the story of Mr..
Rockefeller's latest public benefac-
ton, the Laura Spellman Rockefel-
Ter memorial of s63,000,000.
A telephone call informed New
York's city editors that heads of
news syndicates that an announce
ment would be sprung in the office
of the publicity firm which handles
Rockefeller interests.
The announcement it was made
clear, would happen at 5 o'clock that
afternoon.
The Rush Hour
The rush hour was raging like a
tidal wave over lower Manhatter
when I picked out "sixty-one Broad
way" and the elevator shot to the
31st floor. =" :.
Nine newspaper men waited in
side; I was the only woman. They
stood about tensely, saying little, ap
parently speculating. No one had az
inkling of the nature of the an
nouncement; it might have beer
anything.
The door closed softly and th'
gateman jumped for my name. /
seemed to tally with an entry on thu
list he held in his hand.
Presently door opened. An at
tractive Office with leather chair
and mahogany furnishings ma,
of serious mein standing at hug
desk. He motioned to seats. We wer,
in the presence Of Mr.. Ivy Lee, di
rector of publicity for the house O.
Rockefeller. It was all very i'm
pressive.
When the silence had sunk in al
the way round, Mr.. Lee began to ex
plain what it was, about. The riches
man and his wife had been interest
ed in certain charitable and religious
work before her death; he had con
tinued her donations and finally hat
set aside the huge sum as monu
ment to her memory, for work
among women and children.
Handed Out Sheets
When ne had told his story a grea
deal too lingering to suit an audi
ence a little disappointed, he hande'
round typewriter sheets upol
which the story was repeated witt
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1920-11-29

always asked when Mr.. Rockefeller
gives away money. Another bit Of
preparation lay upon the desk in the
form of incorporation papers Of the
new memorial. The date was Octo-
ber, 1919. 1t had taken two years to
bring activities of the fund to per-
fection necessary before giving the
story of it to the, public.
More questions: other bits OF
clever stage management. Three re-
porters remained behind in hope of
an "exclusive ANGLE" and in the
morning the world talked Of the new
gift over its breakfast table.
