Major Pullman welcomed Mrs. Van
Wrinkle into the police service. She
seemed to step into niche that
awaited her coming. In short while
she was placed at the head of the bu-
reau, and now, a little more than a
year after her appointment as d.
rector. she Is besieged with requests
from all sections OF the country to
assist in establishing women's bu-
reaus in the police departments OF
other great cities.
In the course of the interviews
which will follow Mrs Van Wrinkle
was asked whether daily association
with crime, the abnormal and the sub
normal did not become extremely dis
tasteful to one OF her sensitive refine
ment and tend to break down opti-
mism. She replied that 1t did not, for
the reason that she had learned to
drop her work after office hours and
tur nto her recreations. her friends,
the theater and society activities. Be-
sides her work in the woman suffrage
organizations she is associated in the
work of a number of prominent clubs,
including the Woman's City Club, the

notices Is the unusually fne hosiery
that the bathers have chosen

These new silk bathing stockings

the first time discussed with a repre-

general attitude toward that STRAIT

women come most in contact.
A woman OF gentle and cultured
speech and manner, Mrs. van
Wrinkle does not possess what might
be termed a formidable appearance
as an enforcer of The law. But she
has been described by one OF her
associate workers as a rare comoi-
nation of sympathy. tact, temperate
firmness and very delicate intui-
lions; and her remarkable success
in police work In Washington Is
substantial vindication OF the power
OF personality in an institution
where brute force and a six-foot
stature were formerly thought to be
indispe nsable prequisites.
The interest which attaches to

The custom Of hosting flags On
public buildings only half the way
up the flagpoles as a sign of mourn
ing was originally . military one
Ever since flags were used in war
II has been the custom to have the
flag Of the superior or conquering
nation above that of the inferior
or vanquished. When an army found
itself hopelessly beaten 1t hauled
it's flag down for the victor's flag
to be placed above it on the same
pole. This was a token not only
of submission, but Of respect In
like manner, when a famous soldier
died, flags were lowered not emily
to indicate respect to his memory,
but to show that he had succumbed
to the greatest conqueror Of all
death, for whose flag space was
left at the top of the flagstaff.

her spirit.
She had heard the low voices OF
her sister and her caller as the pair
fingered in the hall saying good
night. That this lingering did not
OF necessity have an especial sig

Doris friends often found 1t hard
to leave her delightful presence.
But the silence that had followed
upon the singing Of the song that
Hugh had longed to hear had been
ominous. Had 1t not produced a
strong effect upon Ralph Norton

lowed.
Had Ruth doubted the sincerity
of her sisters declaration that she
no longer loved Hugh Rodney. her

HURT BY FALLING TREE.
White Man Suffers Fractured Skull
i'm Clear Pond Section.

Ed Creech, white man employed
at the saw mill of D. A. Patterson
in the Clear Pond section Of the
county, suffered severe injury last
Friday when he was struck by fall
ing tree. The injured man was
brought to Bamberg for medical at
tention, and it was ascertained THAT
his skull had been fractured by the
impact of the tree.
Mr.. Creech was assisting in haul
ing logs to the saw mill from the
woods. Some men were cutting down
a pine tree near where he was stand
ing, and in falling the pine crashed
against a small cypress tree which
had rotted around the roots. The
force of the big tree against the cy-
press caused the smaller tree to fall,
striking Mr.. Creech squarely on the
TOP Of the head.

Bamberg, Ehrhardt and Olar are
each to have a 25,O00-bushel pota-

Birmingham, Ala, arrived in Bam-

Mr.. Merton, who organized the COM
pany in Bamberg, was here few
days ago and selected the site for
the building. Material is enroute
and the Bamberg plant will be under
construction in the next few days
and will probably be completed by
June 1.
The Ehrhardt and Olar plants will
be ready. in plenty of time to take
care of the seasons crop.
Sweet potatoes are in great de-
mand when properly cured. These
plants enable the grower to avoid
loss by rot and potatoes can be ship
ped to any market.
