Standardized Garb for PupjIs

The Y. w. G. A. has Endorsed the
suggestions of Miss Mae Traintor, a stu
dent of the Germantown High School,
for standardized school dresses for pupils
of schools and high schools in this city.

mer.
Miss Traintor spoke before a com
mittee meeting Of the East Central Field
Of the Y. w. G. A.. and declared that
many girls of a school age were sacri !
ficing their education because they could
not afford the expensive frocks affected
by other pupils in their school and
were ashamed of the disparity. She said
the movement for simple, inexpensive
uniform dresses was rapidly gaining
favor

David s. Paul, the sixty year old
Camden bank runner. who disappeared
with 500 800 in cash and checks Of
the Broadway Trust Co. Tuesday, was
probably the victim of q sudden morale
collapse. VA.
This is the opinion of his former
Sunday school teacher, Judge John
Rates of the Camden County Criminals
Court, before whom his one time pupil
will be tried, If caught and held ss,
an abscondcr. Judge Hates, is also
an official of the Broadway Trust Co.
Paul had been a member Of my Bibles
class at the Broadway Methodist Epis -
copal Church for ten years." said Judgec
Kates today, "and seemed to be living -
straight, clean life. He was not what
! would call 'religionist, but decent
sort of man. u
"At the bank we cannot understand,
his disappearance, unless he suffered a.
sudden mental collapse and momentarilyi
lost control Of himself. II the act had
been premediated, Il is not probable'
that he would have served the bank
faithfully for six years.
''He had been intrusted with amouutU
And, of course, there is always a chancsi
that he met with an accident or foul
play. Too much emphasis should not
be placed on Paul's having served O.

Paul did not take the money through
any need on the part Of his wife or
himself. in the opinion of Charles Il.
Greedy, a trustee of the church to which
the bank runner belonged. 4
Although it was necessary for Paul
to work for his living, he and his wife.
were in comparatively comfortable cir-'
cumstances," said Mr.. Creely, "and al
far as his friends know, there was no,
pressing need for money that could have.

Word Of Warning.

No greater cnrse could be in
hicted upon any people than that
of being compelled to keep as
their chief laborers persons, who
f5r any reason, it is unwise to ed
ucate.
We must have educated labor
and multiplied industries; we
must have schools of agriculture,
of commerce, of manufactures
of mining, and technology and,
in short, all Of poly technics; we
must have them as sources OF
power and respectability, and in
all OF them our own sons must, be
qualified to take the lead and
point the way. POLYTECHNIC schools
should be an organic part OF the
University.
Education is the one thing for
which no people have ever yet
paid too much. The more they
pay the richer they become.
Nothing is so costly as ignorance
and nothing SO cheap as knowl
edge.
live do these things promtly,
vigorously, and literally, it will
soon be that the sun in his cylcle
will not let fall his rays on a
greater or more prosperous peo.
pie. If we do not do these things,
we shall grow weaker until we
shall be dispised as contempti-
BILE. The stranger will come in
and possess heritage and build
a heritage and build up the land
we neglect, and the rulers of the
chill dren we leave behind u.s.. -

Mrs. Oscar Mast.

Katy, the young wife Of Mr..
Oscar Mast, youngest daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. j. R. Lowe, di
ed at Banner Elk, N. G., on Sat
urday, October %, 1920. She was
about % yeas old-in the full
bloom Of young womanhood. She
leaves a sorrowing husband, a
little son, about eight months
odd, her father and mother. two
brothers and one sister to mourn
her early departure.
Katy was good girl, most de-
votedly attached to her home
folks, idolized by her husband
and greatly beloved by all her
outside relatives and frie n d 8.
Death loves a shining mark and
it seems that sweet little Katy
was marked for an early death.
On that holy Sabbath after.
noon, just as the last rays Of the
setting sun cast their slanting
shadows over the mountain tops,
dressed in all the splendor of for
ests' autumnal beauty, the last
sad rites were pronounced over
her remains at the front of her
beautiful home among her rela-
tives and sorrowing friends.
After the beautiful service for
the dead had been performed by
Rev. Edgar Tufts, the funeral
cortege moved slowly to the GEN.
etery at Banner Elk where her
mortal remains were laid beside
her brother Carl, and at the same
sacred spot lie the remains of all
her forbears for several genera
tions, awaiting the resurrection.
The sympathy of the entire
community goes out to the do
ting parents who were suddenly
bereft, and to her brothers and
sisters who loved her so.
There were many floral offer
ings, the proof of hergreat popu-
larity while living, and grief at
her early death.

In MemorIam.

1t lis always sad and lonely
hour to some one when mother
dies, and so much more when a
young mother in the prime of
life dies and leaves some tender
little orphan children to be cared
for by others, But we are called
upon to write a memorial sketch
of such an one.
Sister Virgie Hodges, who was
the daughter of Bro. !. G. and
Naomi McGhinnis; and wife of
Brother Columbus Hodges. She
was born on the l7th day of
March, 1895, and died on the
25th day of February, 1920, age
"a years; II months and 8 days.
She professed faith in Christ
and joined Mt. Lebanon church
Aug. "a. 1907, at the early and
tender age of a little more than
IL years, and she honored that
profession by the Cody chris
tian life which she afterward liv.
led.
At the age of about Is years
she Was married to Columbus
Hodges, to when were given
three children, two boys and a
girl, who survive the mother. On
Aug. 1, 1908, she was dismissed
from Mt. Lebanon church by let,
ter, and Oh Aug. 8, 1908, she was
received by letter into Brushy
Fork church, whore she remain
ed until her death. For more
than two years before her death
she was a great sufferer, which
she bore with great patience,
seeming to be fully resigned to
the will of God, and expressing
her willingness to die if it was
Gods will, regretting most of all
to leave her husband and little
children. But it is Gods will and
His way, and we should be re-
signed to it.
In the death Of Virgie tn e
church realizes the loss of one Of
her family, but none of us real
ize the loss so much as the hus.
band and little children. But it is
the Lords will, and His will be
done. May his hand of protection
be over them to guide them in
life and to prepare them to meet
wife and mother in the realms of
eternal glory, where parting is
no more.
