How Rural English
Women Beat Fl. CT.

LONDON. tBy Mail. } - (By United
Press.) Many extraordinary and
drastic econopics are being devised
by women who find it impossible to
cope with high prices.
For ingenuity. in this direction,
4Irs. Cooper, who u es in Kent, can
dcarcely be beaten. She takes the
WOOL left by the sheep on the hedge
rows in their efforts to squeeze thru,
spins it, dyes it with bark and onion
skins, and then makes It up into fine
feecy jumpers.
In the village of Kineton, Warwick
shire, the women save all the pieces
of waste fat which their unapprecia-
tive families would otherwise leave
on the sides of theiE Sunday dinner
plates and makes soap out of it. This
soap is made in their homes and they
supply the whole village with it, both
for household and toilet purposes. The
cheapest soap available at store costs
eightpence (about 16 cents) a pound
while "Kineton soap" is sold at eight
pence for pounds and is of very
superior quality.

Was Burned Alive

PARIS, July 20.--The Russian EN-
press and her children were burned
alive after the execution of Emperor
Nicholas at Ekaterinburg, it is al
legged in statements attributed to Alex
is Dolrovitz, formerly courier to the
Empress. published here recently,
Dolrovitz said he made vain at-
tempts to save his mistress and her
children.
The Empress and the children, Dol
rovitz declared, were taken to a wood
near Ekaterinburg. Brushwood was
gathered and a hugh fire made, into
which the royal victims were forced.
Every time they sought to get out
of the flames, Dolrovitz said they were

Tatiana, the Empress second
daughter, fed from the pyre three
times and eventually fell, pierced
through by a bullet.
The Empress and Alexis, heir to
the throne, clasped in close embrace,
walsed almost automatically into the
flames and disappeared in a whirl of
smoke, according to Dolrovitz.

Calling" DR.. r. L. Stookesbury
County superintendent or Publlc IN
struction, Knoxville. DR.. Stokesbury
says that teaching is most certainly
a calling, and that there should be
found no defects and imperfections
on the part of teachers. He thinks
the teachers must be sincere; must
have strong friendship existing be-
tween himself and his pupils; must be
in the sacred material
which he handles.-livink souls-and
must have a personality to stir and
awaken the intellect of the child.
DR.. Stookesbury will always be re-

Proceedings of
County Institute
Monday Afternoon.

As an Introductory to the aft6
noon program, Prof J. B. Brooks lee
in the singing of a number of songs
Miss Minis, County Red Cros
Nurse, read an excellent paper on tht
subject of Health, A Needed Awaki
ening.'
Mr.. King, of baseball fame, de-
lighted the Institute with his singing
of ''Roamin' in the Gloamin, and
Dear Old Pal o. Mine"
Prof. r. H. Burkhart was second
speaker for the afternoon program.
He suggested sa remedy for pres
ent day conditions that teachers be
paid sufficient salaries to enable them
to cops with the high cost of living.
Prof. Burkhart does not think that
The teaching profession ought to be
commercialized, but, on the other
hand there must be spirit of service
and self-sacrifice. Teachers salaries
have not increased in proportion to
increases along other lines, and are
less in purchasing power than five
years ago,
Prof. A. C. Duggins, Of our own
Greeneville schools, was at his best
in the subject given him-"Better
Housing Conditions for Teachers and
Social Recognition For their Ser
vices" Prof. Duggins advocated
homes for teachers in the community
in which they teach These homes
should be models for all the other
homes of the communities and ought
to have all the conyeniences that
would be needed in the homes of the
communities.
After stories by Miss Fannie Kiser
and Mr.. U. S. Fry and announcements
by Supt Pierce, the meeting was ad-
journed until Tuesday, morning.

The poppy seems fated to go down

of the American Legion" 1t was the
common scarlet variety of that flow
err that grows so freely in waste
places that won the regard of the men

only beautiful thing the soldiers saw
for days upon days.
The poppy is one Of the oldest
flowers in the worlds literature, and
las been sung in verse and men

Oriental poppies are of ornnge-crim-
son with black centers and large seed
bags which burst and scatter the seed
in all directions. Other famous varie-
ties include the slender Iceland poppy,
the yellow California variety and the
big double flowers. None of them have
any perfume, but depend upon their
beauty of form and color to attract
and hold the senses.

MANILA: KANSAS CITY OF
THE PHILIPPINES

In connection with the continued dis
cussion Of independence for the Phil
ippines the capital city of the islands,
Manila becomes of special interest.
AS a transport wends inward from
the China sea, 1t passes the island Of
Corregldor, beyond which stretches
Manila bay, whose 12O-mile circumfer-
ence could surround the navies of the
world. Its rival will not be found in
the far East. On the right of its en-
trance stands Cavite. where Dewey
sank the Spanish feet.
From the bay the city Of Manila
seems to lie almost at water level
with hazy mountains for back
ground. Before the United States
came to the islands Manila was a
sleepy town, sprawled lazily beyond
the bay and the wharves Of the river
Pasig, which bisects it. Its streets
were quiet and almost deserted at
times, its suburbs shady and pretty,
and general air of "manana" per-
vaded Its atmosphere.
Today its estimated population
equals that Of Jersey City, Indianap-
oils or Kansas City; the river is alive
with launches and vessels Of every
description, including the Households
of literally floating population Of
fifteen thousand; and through Its port
1t sends yearly to other countries near
ly q hundred million dollars worth Of
%ol>
cOmOdities.
A unique sight in Manila is the Pace
cemetery, which ut present has fallen
into dsuse. 1t is composed of two con-
centric walls about six feet thick,
honeycombed with holes just large
enough for a coffin. In the olden days
these We're leased for periods of five
years. At the end of that time IL no
one was sufficiently interested in the
remains Of an inmate to pay his rent
for another five years his bones were
thrown on heap at the back of the
cemetery. Imagine the 'shimmy" the
flesh on an ancestor-worshiping China
mans backbone would perform should
he behold the queue Of one of his pro-
genitors Erotruding from this Golgotha.
Out from the walled city near the
bay shore is Luneta, small amuse-
ment park, and Wallace field, used
for sports and the annual carnival.
In the days of Spanish rule Wallace
field was an execution ground for po-
litical prisoners, and here DR.. Jose
Rial. the Filipino surgeon, novelist
and patriot, was executed.
Manila's chief shopping district is
north of the river, and enterpRsing
FYlipinos, Americans and Chinese have
set up stores. hanks. factories and
restaurants. giving this portion Of the
city an up-and-doing air.

til sky and horizon meet In a barely
perceptible line. Parts of It remind
one very much Of our own western
prairies. In spring and summer 1t is
an ocean Of verlure, with the varied
shades of green Of the growing vege-
tation interspersed with flowers Of
many hues; later, in the autumn after
the crops are harvested, 1t becomes q
brown waste of stubble and burned-up
pastures;, In winter 1t is white, giis-
tening expanse Of snow.
"rhere are not many old towns in
the Ukraine. Except in Kiev and
kharkov, one will hardly find build
ing more than hundred years old.
No old medieval churches built up by
the toll of generations of devout
hands, no old chateaux of the n0bil-
ity, no palaces rich in pictures will
be encountered. The great majority
Of the towns are still big, overgrown
villages. W.
"The towns are separated from each
other by enormous distances, with i'm
perfect communication. The peasants
plant their villages in the lee Of some
swell in the surface or by the edge Of
q stream In which they can water their
-fiocks during the drought which may
come"

WHAT'S IN THE NAME
"AMERICA"

Millions sing "America"; compara-
lively few know the origin of the
name. Its history and Its symbolism
are described in a communication to
the National Geographic society by
John H. Finley as follows:
America name that was first
heard on the planet, or ut any rate
first put on a printed page, according
to the best authorities. in the village
of st. Die, among the vosges noun

that the name America be given to

and who prepared the now famous
map on which the emerging continent
was Identified. There, too, l found
the site of the old printing shop, and
the house itself in which the printer.
Jean Basin, had lived.
