MAKE OLD HATS NEW

Rock Hill, June 10.-Miss Mahala
J. Smith, home demonstration agent
of Union county, told at Winthrop
college today in most interesting
way how to lower the cost of living
by taking an inventory of the old
clothing that has been stored away
as useless rummage, rather than
joining the overall club or going to
the stores to cater to styles and
high prices.
The display of remodeled gar
ments was lesson within itself.
These garments were made by diff
ferent members of the demonstra-
ton clubs throughout the state. In
this display there were two baby
blue willow plumes that were faded
and sunburnt. No one could have
told they had ever been dyed. They
were valued at $50. There was also
II exhibition that deserved special
mention, a dining room set made OF
discarded white linen. Satisfying
her desire for an ecru set, one Of
the members obtained this by using
one small package of Rit.
An exhibit of tied dyeing at
tracted great deal of attention, IL
lustrating how attractive draperies
and scarfs can be made Of inexpen-
sive material. After explaining how
each garment had been freshened
up practical demonstrations in dye
ing were given by Miss Ethel
Counts, home demonstration agent
of Oconee county.
. Miss Alma Bell of Anderson coun-
ty showed how problems of high
cost of living could easily and ad-
vantageously be solved to certain
extent. She said: To-day in many of
our closets there are good hats
thrown back after only one seasons
wear, which can be brought forth
and with a good generous cleaning
and pressing into shape and with
use of little new material can be
made into very attractive hats at
only small price as compared
with the prices which range from
S., $40, s75 and up"
In the exhibit there was leghorn
hat which had been in constant use
for eight years. With one-half yard
flowered georgette, one-fourtn
yard voile, one yard narrow gold
ribbon the hat was made into an at
tractive one to be worn on almost
any occasion and with almost any
costume.

county gave several demonstrations
Of frightening hats. The most inter-
esting one was the dying of white
sunburnt INLAND, using exactly the
same method as for dying cotton
goods. Then the hat was placed on
a table, pressed into good shape and
artistically draped with pretty
flowered voile.
Several illustrative models of
dress hats, street hats, sun hats and
children hats were displayed, giving
good ideas for remodeling.

Advice to an Artist

Mabel La Farge in the Yale Review.
 Equal in sympathy of the heart, was his intellectual sympathy in the efforts or undertakings of his friends. What ever the problem presented, whether ar tistic or literary, or scientific, he would throw himself into it as if he had no other preoccupation; and his enthusiasm and encouragement would often carry the friends far beyond the possibilities of their own unaided talents. His in- fluence was an unworldly one, he ap- pealed to them forget the eye of the public in their pursuit of truth, and to let success in a worldly sense become a matter of relative indifference. A quo tation from a letter to young person on painting may serve to illustrate dis gust for paint and drawing. You would feel the same for the limitations of sculpture, or architecture, or poetry, or prose, if you tried as hard to express anything in them. There is nothing new to say--at least not in our formulas. Everything has been said many-many-- many times The pleasure is in saying it over to ourselves in a whisper, lso that nobody will hear and so that neither vanity nor money can get in as much as a lisp. I admit that this units one for ones time and life, but one must make some sort of running arrangement on every railroad and even in every school; and if you are to stop five minutes for refreshments at the Art Station, you must have those five minutes clear, as much as though you were a Botticelli- I should say the same of Religion, or Poetry, or any other imaginative and emotional expression"

False Economy

From the Thrift Magazine.
 In every household there are two things to be saved in addition to money. These are time and labor. Too many people think money seems the only important item and almost no expenditure of time and labor is con sidered as too great if money may be saved.
 Few housewives think of purchas- ing devices invented for labor saving in the kitchen. She Will beat up eggs with a fork and slice potatoes with a knife and think she is saving the ex- pense of the machines invented for these purposes. unmindful of the fact that she is using up quantity of time and nervous force that might be put to better purpose.
 One of the most economical things woman can do is to keep abreast of the times by inspecting the new house. hold devices that reach the market from time to time. Whenever a new invention that will save her time and labor appears ia is false economy for her not to purchase it.
 It is really quite surprising how many households have no soap shaker. soap shaker is most economical. The smallest particle of soap may be put into the little wire cage and used up to the last crumb.
 Considering the saving of labor, 1t is surprising how few women have a sink sieve. although when the dish water is run the labor of cleaning the sink is almost eliminated

Go to Poland

A group of former fllers for the Ameri- can army in France did not get enough action. They still seek fame and glory
 in the shell shot skies of Poland. The Great War was only heir training pe- riod.
 In The Home Sector, the ex-soldiers' weekly conducted by the former editorial council of the Stars and Stripes Philip Von Blon. in writing of the aces with the wanderlust, says: This group of American flyers in Poland is known as the Kosciuszllo Squadron. Already it gives fair promise of acquiring a fame that may rival that of the Lafayette Es- cadrille, the French squadron composed of Americans who could not wait until their own country entered the war.
 'The Kosciuszko Squadron was organ ized by Major Cedric Fauntleroy of Chi cago and Capt Merriam c. Cooper of Jack lsonville Fla. Major Fauntleroy was chief tester of the air service in the A. E. F. and fought with the Ninety-Fourth Aero Squadron-the famous hat in the ring outfit which brought down sixty four German planes and balloons. Cap tain Cooper served with the Twentieth Squadron in the A. E. F. He was wound ed and forced down behind the German lines during the battle of the Meuse-Ar- gonne and was a prisoner in the hands of "The squadron they organized is com posed entirely of former A. E. F. pilots. It has already seen much action on the southern bolshevik front It's insignia is famed throughout Poland. It is pre- stunned that the flyers in the squadron talk about ''repayng the debt to Kos ciuszko,' the Polish patriot, who, like Lafayette, served on the staff of Gen. George Washington in our Revolutionary War. After fighting in America Kos the enemy until after the armistice.
 euiszko led his own countrymen in Po- land to victory against the Russian tyrants."

 Navy's second crew won by over i've lengths and the "plebes'' handed ten length defeat to the Columbia fresh- men.

@ NCE again Benny Leonard IS IU y threatening retirement from the ring. The king of the light weights has made it known that he has grown bit tired of fighting and, in asmuch as he has amassed sufficient fortune to provide for all future needs, that he would rather go into some conn mercial enterprise than spend much more time in fisticuffing
 Leonard has been fighting for nearly eight years and hasn't a mark to show for it. He is in his athletic prime at the present time and undoubtedly with the excellent care he has taken or n,rnseI. would survive at least six or eight years more of pugilistic campaigning. But Leonard feels that probably in some of the future bouts he will become scared and marked up and that disfigurement is not worth the recompense in sizeabis ring purses.
 For more than year there has been scme question as to whether or not Leonard is still a legitimate lightweight. Persons who are rather. expert in sizing up an athlete and guessing his weight insist that the best Leonard can make TOW is around 140 ringside, which figure, of course puts him in the welterweight class
 Leonard, for a year or so, mas steadily refused to be weighed in public. In vari- ous bouts in which he has participate announcement has been made of his weight, but none of the newspaper men was present to witness the weighing in. It may be that Leonard still notches around the 135-pound mark, but the chances are that he hits the scales at 40 or 142 at his best fighting weight.
 If Leonard decides to voluntarily sur render the lightweight title, there will be a merry scramble among the aspir-

ants for his crown. There are at least half a dozen fighters in the game at the present time who would immediately lay claim to the title and series of elimination matches would be necessary to determine the actual king or thar group.
 Johnny Dundee is the outstanding ap- plicant at this time He has gone against Leonard on eight occasions and Leonard has never defeated him in over whelming fashion. But while Leonard h,a trouble with Dundee, other 133- pounders found him not at all trouble some
 Willie Jackson conquered Dundee and is another who would have something to say in his own behalf if Leonard quit the lightweight division.
 Charley White seems no reason why he should not be reckoned as Leona rH s successor White is a veteran-but still has a mighty wa1lop. He has been fight ing for many years He has not accom- if given chance he can whip ,any man in the 133-pound division. And maybe he can.
 Philadelphia would nominate Lew nendler for the job The former news boy has made a splendid ring record and certainly has been mighty tough customer for all who tackled him: Probably Joe Benjamin, one time Of the Pacific coast and now a protege of Leonard, would be named by Benny himself Joe Yelling and Ritcs>e Mitchell are the other fast performers in the lightweight division. If Leonard does quit there are some worthy men to succeed him, but none is in class with Leonard-none near it. For Leonard ranks as one of the great est-if not the greatest-lightweight of all time.

Roosevelt and the Kaiser

TeSpOHuence Wltn King EdWard,
 Kaiser William II. the Czar Nich-
 olas, Emperor of Japan, King Albert
 Of Belgium and Queen Elizabeth of
 Rumania," by Theodore Roosevelt, in
 Scribner's.
 Roosevelts method of procedure with the kaiser was always the same and was uniformly successful. His own description of i, appeals in a let ter that he wrote on August IA, 1906, to Henry White, who was at that time American ambassador at Rome:
 My course with him during the last five years has been uniform I ad- mire him. respect him and like him. think him a big man. and on the whcle a good man; but I think his international and indeed hSs personal attitude one of intense egois1n. I have always been most polite with him, have done my best to avoid our talk ing any attitude which could possibly give him legitimate cffense. and have endeavored to show him that I was sincerely friendly to him and to Ger many. Moreover where I have forced him to give way I have been sedu- lously anxious to build a bridge of gold for him. and to give him the sat- isfaction of feeling that his dignity and reputation in the face of the world were safe. In other words. where I have had to take part of the kernel from him. I have been anxious that ke should have all the shell possible, and have that shell painted any way he wished. At the same time haze had to speak with express emphasis to him one more than one occasion and on one occasion Chat of Vene- zuela) have had to make a display of force and to convince him definitely that I would use the force if neces- sary."
 Ii is doubtful If the kaiser ever ex- perienced a more humiliating check than Roosevelt administered to him in the Venezuela incident of December, | 1902, yet he seems 10 have cherished no resentment because of it. for about year later he wro,e letter to Roosevelt which reveals a fine rapture lof delight because the President mad written to him in terms of approval. No copy of the letter from the Presi- dent which called forth this outburst is extant, for it was a private note | tut happily that of the kaiser has been preserved.

COffindaffer to
 Pitch Game In
 Memphis Today

Barons and Chicks left Birmingham last night for Memphis, where the two will stage a single game series today The Barons left conquerors, having won all three games played at home this stay.
 Manager Molesworth announced last night that Joe Coffindaffer will twirl today's game against Memphis. Joe has won his two games this season, and is making a nice showing these days.
 Coffindaffer will be opposed by 'Dazzy' Vance, regarded by many as Memphis best bet in twirling way. Today's battle is sure to be hot one.
 If Birmingham beats Memphis today the Barons will be sole possessors of first place in the Southern League If Memphis wins, vice versa.
 The Barons have pounded out enough hits against every pitcher en- countered lately to win the particular game Goodbred, CanaVan, Albris and Thweatt. all ranked as good hurlers, have fallen before the rush of the Barons the past week.
 Mo1esworth stated that Tom Galla- gher will be sure to pitch against Nashville here Monday Gallagher has won two games for the Barons. He has never worked on the home dia- mond.
 Southpaw Meeker was released to the Spartanburg. s. C., South Atlantic League club yesterday.
 The Barons seem to be invincible. The last seven games have been Vic- tories. The Barons have won ten out of their last eleven games. The oid bandana is almost within our grasp provided the pace is not slackened.

Old British Admiralty

Admiral Sims, in the Worlds Work.
 The room in which the allied naval council met in London was the same
 old admiralty board room that mas been used for centuries. In accordance with inc spirit of British conservatism, this room is almost exactly the same now. even in it's furnishing, as 1t was
 in Nelson's time. The same old wood carvings hang over the same old fire place; the table which Is used IS the identical one at which Nelson must have sat many times, and the very sil- yer inkstand which Nelson used was used by his successors Tn tnis war. ne portrait of this great naval chieftain looked down upon us during our de- Alterations. Above the fireplace is painted a huge compass, and about the center of this swings an arrow. This was part of the admiral }ty equipment of hundred years ago, though IL mas
