n ENT usually finds the children's
IL spring sewing well under way, if
their clothes are made at home, or
shopping industriously carried out if
their belongings are bought ready
made. The shops furnish as taste
full things rs any one can ask for and
as reasonably priced when the cost of
labor is figured In. But there is some
economy in making children's clothes
at home and eliminating the price Of
labor. Besides there are little indi-
vidual touches that may be put on by
the home dressmaker
Whatever the means of getting
these outfits together, suggestions as
to styles are thankfully received at
about this time. The more important
matter of selecting spring apparel for
grownups calls for attention, with
Easter close at hand and proves dis
tracing. Two frocks for little girls
are shown here with the recon-
mendation to buy them If they can be

draulic rams, pumps, air lifts or air.
displacement pumps. Hydraulic rams
are the most economical water-llfting
devices. Since rams of various sizes
and makes perform differently, 1t usu-
ally Is necessary to accept the me-
chanical details determined by the
manufacturer. The minimum, never
more than the average, flow of the
spring should determine the size OF
the ram. Otherwise. the one selected
may be too large for the dry-weather
flow. Small flows may be determined
by noting the time required to fill a
vessel of known capacity. Larger flows
may be determined by weir measure
ments. :
When the water supply IS far from
the ram site, 1t is usual to pipe the
flow to an open tank or reservoir To-
Gated so as to secure the desired
length and fall of drive pipe. Some
times the flow of spring is too small
to actuate a ram that is sufficient for
domestic requirements. In such in
stances and where a nearby brook
can be damned to obtain the necessary
power head, the recoil of the ram may
be employed to admit the spring wa
ter, which is pumped by the fall of the
brook water in the drive pipe.
Horsepower Needed.
Water may be- raised by hand. wind
mill, hydraulic rams, steam, hot air,
gas, internal-combustion engines, or
electric motors. Hand power is I'M
suited to large supplies Of high lifts.
Windmills are probably the most famil-
lar type of mechanical power and often
are arranged to start and stop
automatically. Gasoline and oil en-
gines are we'll adapted to farm pump
ing and may be equipped to stop at
any desired pressure in a supply tank.
The use of electricity for pumping Is
increasing. The method is clean,
quiet and convenient, and starting or
stopping a distant pump by throwing
switch may be practical wherever
transmission lines are sufficiently near.
The whole question of water in the
farm home is discussed in Farmers
Bulletin No. 941, which will be sent
free on request to the United States
department of agriculture.

drag that bears his name, and one of

cost of a pocket knife" and com
bined the acme of simplicity with a
valuable effectiveness. Split logs,
about nine feet long, held with the
split side to the fore by strong wood
en- pins, constituted the drag, which
could be drawn at various angles ac-
cording to the point Of attachment
for the double-trees.

ton and therefore received no iinan.
cial remuneration, but he enjoyed
the privilege of travelling at The re-

Presbyterians Plan
To Raise Professors

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. Feb. 16.
The salaries of professors in
American colleges have increased
only 81 per cent, despite the fact
that the increase in the cost of living
has been 80 per cent, and 95 per
cent increase has been brought about
in the wages of eight of the greatest
industries of the country.
This was the statement made here
today by the Rev. Henry H. Sweets,
executive secretary of the Southern
Presbyterian church's committee on
Christian education and ministerial
relief. Dr. Sweets duties bring him
into personal contact with colleges
and universities all over the country
AS part of the Presbyterian Pro-
gressive Program through which the
denomination is raising $4,00O,000
in sixteen Southern states, the sal
les of professors in Presbyterian
institutions will be greatly increased
and an effort made to raise their
standard of living to equal, if not ex-
ceed, what it was before the war. The
church maintains at least one college
0" .inversity in almost every South
e. l state.

QUICKLY REJECT
HIS OBJECTIONS
TO FIUME PLAN
Views Not Altered By
Presidents Note, Ju-
go-Slavs Told

LONDON, Feb. 16.-Up to noon
today the reply of the Allied Su-
preme Council to President Wilson's
note relative to the proposed Adriatic
compromise had not been dispatched
to Washington, it was learned after
the meeting of the council today.
Meanwhile the presidents action was
being treated as a sensational devel-
opment by the London press.
PARIS, Feb. 16.-Prompt rejection
of President Wilson's objections to
the compromise agreement by which
England, France and Italy hoped to
settle with Jugo-Slavia the questions
relative to the future status of the
eastern coast of the Adriatic is re-
ported in the Echo de Paris. Premiers
Lloyd George and Millerand drafted a
reply to the American chief executive
and insisted that Jugo-Slavia must
agree to the compromise, with the al
tentative of seeing the Treaty of Lon
don become operative, it is said.
At the same time the premiers' re-
ply was sent to Washington, the for
elgn minister or Jugo-Slavia was noti-
fled that the viewpoint Of the British
and French governments action had
not been altered by President Wilson's
action.
Hugh C. Wallace, the American
ambassador, Saturday delivered to
the foreign Office memorandum from
President Wilson, according to the
Temps, in which the President said
he could not approve of Premier
Lloyd Georges proposed settlement of
the Adriatic question, which has been
submitted to the Jugo-Slavs.
The Temps said President Wilson
allowed to be understood that the
United States would find it impossible
to continue in conference if the
Allies settle the Adrlatic question
without consulting the United States.

WHAT CAN A CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE REALLY DO?

eve are asked many questions
regarding the plans for the ex-
pansion of the Americus and
Sum-er County Chamber of
Commerce and what it will be
like said General Foster, the
campaign manager, this morn
ing. Some of those most gener-
ally asked are, for instance,
Why should Americus have
Chamber of Commerce. What
can the Chamber of Commerce
o. Can it become a permanent
institution?' How will it be fl
nanced?'
Let me take up the first ques-
ton, answering the others at an
other time. A growing commu-
nifty needs an organization of
the character of a Chamber Of
Commerce. 1t needs it because
it will bring the citizens togeth-
er to do the things the city and
surrounding country desire to
have done.
This coming together arouses
discussion of the multifarious
problems fthe community; it
suggests things to be done that
no one has ever thought of be-
fore; it creates a united force
which can always be relied upon
stand behind the individual seek
ing to have things done but who
cannot get them done alone.
Discussion naturally leads to the
discovery of the ways and means.
This is what we mean by
the creation of the spirit of en-
terprise. Once acquired no COM
munity will permit this spirit to
die.
Again, a well-manned,
well-planned Chamber of Com
merce furnishes the mechanism
for the utilization of the ideas
