| SAW SOLDIERS or FIVE WARS
John Pemterton Oak Has History
Probably Unequaed by That of
Any Other Tree.

Soldiers of five wars have been.
drilled beneath the John Pemberton
oak tree, Bristol, Virginia-Te
nominated for place in the hall
of fame of the American forestry
association at Washington by Mrs. Fl.
F. Lewis, secretary Of Virginia for
the Daughters of the American Rev
olution. Under this tree Col. John
Pemberton mustered his troops for
the battle of Kings Mountain. A
marker has been placed on the tree
by the Sycamore Shoals chapter, says
the American Forestry Magazine, ia
making the announcement. The SOL
diers Of the War of 1912 met here.
Then came the Mexican war and the
old tree saw men again leave their
homes to fight. Next came the
struggle between the states, and the
oak witnessed the drilling of men to
fight one another in their own coun-
fry. Then came the world war and
again the veteran oak saw our boys
answer their united cOuntry's call.

are determined upon for school wear.
They have made an unassailable place
for themselves in the minds of those
who shape the destinies Of the best
schools and many of these schools re-
quire a MILDLY suit for the everyday
wear of their pupils and admit no ex-
ception to this rule. Uniform dress
for school wear is so good an idea
that it ought to spread and it is pos
sihle that some day it will be FEAST
BILE for certain public schools. Moth
ers can further it If they will.
The successful MILDLY is not quite
so simple a proposition to deal with
as it looks to be. It's straight lines

roomy and neat, it's finish above re-

TT HERE is SO much to be said of
Il separate skirts because there are
so many of them. The separate skirt
more or less dressy-to be worn
with blouses and smocks that CORE
spond with it in character, has won
the steadfast allegiance of American
women and is taken as a matter of
course in every wardrobe, just as tail
ored suits and blouses are. Together
with tailored, one-piece dresses, it
gives opportunity for varying our ev-
eryday clothes for morning or street
wear, and it is the cornerstone of
sports apparel. In the richer fabrics
for afternoon and dinner dress, it is
the complement of many beautiful
hlouses and smocks. It is a great con-
Yenience to take one skirt with sew
,eral blouses and ring many changes
in the toilette.

Plain skirts appear to have passed
into the realm of forgotten things, in

their stead. Double-box plaits make
saraight up-and-down lines in the skirt
of the MILDLY suit. We have to concede
that they are just the thing for it. Fol-

fall styles, and all sorts of plaitings
A new fall model in striped wooleH
goods has recently made its debut and
is shown in the picture above. Many
ready-made skirts employ accordion
plaits, that are liked because they take
less material than other plaits and
prove as effective, as may be gathered
from the model in the picture. The
plated skirt is easy to make at home
One has only to buy material twice
the length of the skirt plus the width
of the hem, with sometimes a little
additional allowance for matching
the stripes or plaidS. The goods is
cut in two lengths, sewed up and the
hem put in. Then it is taken to the
professional to plat in a plating ma
chine, or one can do this work at home
The plaits must be very thoroughly
pressed down.
When stripes running on the dag
onal are wanted, the making is less
simple, but even then presents no very
great difficulties.

their grain and liquidate part of
their debts in report made public
here.
The committee was appointed at

lies in the sale by the farmer of part
of his crop at least to begin the pro-

"The finance committee, appointed
at a recent meeting of farmers and

to accomplish their purpose, due to

"Application was made to five

RED TAPE MUST

Says That War Risk Insurance
Bureau, Others Must Get
Down to Business

Washington, Nov 29-Represent-
atives Of the American Legion in
formed officials of the war risk insur-
ance bureau, the federal board for vo-
cational education and the United
States public health service that the
legion proposed to urge measures de-
signed to cut red tape in the bureaus
and "tO compel the government to
function" in it's dealings with dis
charged and disabled service men.
The legion representatives who met
here with the sheads. of ,the three bu-
reaus to discdssFa .pan to combine
the work Of the bureaus made the po-
sition of the legion, clear, declaring
that it proposed to press for legisla
ton consolidating functions Of the
three government agencies and doing
away with long "winded talk about
cooperation and coordination" John
Sherburne of Boston, member Of hte
legion committee, admOnished the
government conferees that if the op
posed consolidation destroyed their
present organization, "it would SIM
ply have to go ahead and Destroy
Pleas for Other Work
Dr. c. w. Lavender, representing
the public health service, made a plea
for the continuation Of "Other work
in the health service outside of that
done for the veterans of the World
war;" saying that his bureau had
many other functions in addition to
the work with disabled veterans.

preparation bills" Mr.. Sherburne re-
piled, "and | find that the money you
have spent for the soldiers. sailors
and marines is much greater than for
all other purposes combined. Now.
we don't want to be rough and we
do not want to impair or handicap

sarily, but I will go to the line on
this: We are faced with the prob
lem of government agencies not func-
tioning and we do not propose to
permit any single agency to stand in
the way
One Man Given Charge
Robert Marx of Cincinnati, member
of the legion committee, declared it
appeared each Of the three agencies
affected by the proposed changes was
seeking to retain its separate entity,
and was opposing the program solely
because the concentration of the
three bureaus under the direction of
one responsible head This was de-
clared by the bureau representatives
to be an incorrect representation, OF
their, position All declared their
willingness to work out plan which
would yield better results.
The consolidation plan, as outlined
by the legion representatives, pro-
poses the creation of an assistant sec
retary in one of the executive depart
ments, probably in the treasury, to
have direct charge of the work Of
three bureaus having to do with ex-
service men.
