Ninht Ely Fishing.

The question as to whether or not
trout will rise to flies by moonlight is
one that has long been discussed in
the Adirondacks. A number of Adj
rondack guides have insisted that they
have taken good catches of trout by
moonlight fly fishing. Others of the
woods brethren, however, have merely
smiled when one speaks of sharing the
speekled ones under the light of the
June moon.
Some fishermen claim to have taken
them that way, while others say it is
merely a fish story. Apparently about
the only way one can prove it TO his
own satisfaction is to go some moon
light night to waters where they know
trout are and try it for themselves.
There is, however. no doubt regard
ing brown trout taking flies at night,
at least not in some waters. Arthur
Munsil Malone recently secured seven
fine brown trout from Salmon river.

Chinese Salvation Army.

new element has been added to
the night life of Picking and Tien-tsin,
strange and yet familiar TO occasional
sightseers from western countries.
The "Chiou Shih Chun," or Save
World Army" is conducting its open
air meetings ON the street corners Of
the Chinese cities, and the spectacle
reproduces in China a scene that was
equally strange in the great cities of
England and America when the Saliva
ton army first came into existence.
For "Chiou Shin Chun" is Chinese for
salvation army" in a land where the
language has no exact verbal equiva-
lent for salvation" and must do its
best by the combination "save-world."
Less than three years ago the Saliva
ton army made its start in China.
and q party of forty officers from the
West tackled the job of mastering
enough of the language to begin oper-
atoms. At present there are five corps
of the "Chiou Shih Chun" in Picking,
two corps in Tien-tsin, and fourteen
scattered throughout the country as
far north as the border of Mongolia.
In organization the "Chiou Shin Chun"
is identical with the Salvation army
elsewhere and the Chinese salvation
soldier lives under the same rules of
discipline-Christian Science Monitor.

WoMAN's RIGHT TO PROPOSE
Brit;sh Girl Claims That Conditions
Following War Have Mas Old
Ideas Look Foolish.

Among the last rights of women to |
be fought is the right to propose.
1t is the inevitable consequence of
the vote and of the war. The position
OF woman with regard to marriage has
entirely changed, and the sooner it is
recognized the better. Up till now
nice women have properly not pro-
posed, because it meant virtually:
VIII you keep met"
Now that woman can be as indie
pendent as man she need have no.
scruples on that score. "A Girl From
the War" writes in the continental
edition of the London Mail.
Inseyery other direction the position
of men and women, with regard to
marriage, is equal. 1t is quite ridicu-
lous that it should be an honorable
thing in man to love woman who
does not return his affection, and yet
be disgrace to woman to love I'M
asked. A proposal from the man clears
the air, and it would be the same with
one from the woman.
In the present condition Of things a
woman often wastes the best years of
her life on hope. 1t would be much
better if she could say in the begin
ming: II like you, and If you like me
as much as like you, let us spend our
lives together 1t would be quite SIM
pie for the man to reply, if he were
of a different mind: 81 am sorry. OF
course, like you, but do not feel like
| going into partnership"
The woman would then put him out
of her mind and go about her business.
Broken hearts heal in time, and it is
possible that hearts would never get
beyond the wounded stage if this plan
were adopted.
There is a serious reason why it
should be adopted. Some badly wound
ed men are feeling much as if they had
changed places with the women. They
do not have to say, "Win you keep
meg" when they propose, but what to
them is almost as bad, "Will you keep
yourself?"
1t would be a great relief to many
crippled man in love If proposals
were taken out of mems hands.
In the present circumstances no nice
: girl could bring herself to propose
however willing she is to keep herself
however much she loves the man.
There is no need to fear that the
3 new right would give added license t.
the other kind of girl. She proposes
now, although not in so many words.

Journal:
Whatever the result of the

ment one of the prisoners is said to

ed"-should impress the mothers of
the State with the necessity of warn
ing their daughters against undue
familiarities with young men whose
character they are not fully advised.
In these intense times when so
many of the old-fashioned moral
bars have been let down, when social
conditions are so unsettled and the
younger generations are so forward,
when society is fed to safety on sex
problems, too great care cannot be
taken to guard against the least ap-
pearance of evil; for once the flower
is kissed the bloom is shed.

prosperity at the Eltinge and Harris

Avery Hopwood, author of this
farce classic, is also the author OF
"Seven Days" and 'Nobody's Widow
and started the long-run-farce on the
career It has never since abandoned.
So Mr.. Hopwood is fairly entitled to
his rank as Americas first master OF

reputation as picks of winners by

followed this success with "Fair and

In "Fair and Warmer" Avery
Hopwood uses just the idea he knows
how to put through its paces-satiric
and richly humorous complication
arising from the fact that two re-
respectable young persons try to be
wicked without knowing how, and
end by covering themselves with ig-
nominy, while the pair at whom they
aimed their wickedness, as retalia-
ton, so joyously scot free.
"Fair and Warmer begins in the
early evening, stays up all night and
comes to a festive, conclusion at
noon of the following day, after hav-
ing disrupted two households de-
,yastated one tame robin, reassorted

A SHE-DAM

Col. j. Davis Kerr, the setback
artist of Greeville Street, who was
formerly in the furniture business,
ibut who has now retired from that
business, desiring to get rid of some
of the riches which he accumulated
in the days when ne worked, has
bought an automobile. 1t is Ford
She-Dam. The said malefactor of
great wealth collared the gas buggy
when a drummer drove it into town
the other day, and didn't have enough
money left to buy gasoline to run it
out of town.
The Colonel believes that man
should not hide his light under a
bushel. Therefore, he has decided to
drive the She-dam over to Greenwood
early Sunday morning, procure the
company of Serg. Kerr, and return to
Abbeville in time for divine services.
He plans in this way to be able to
show his recent acquisition to his rich
brother-in-law, DR.. J. T. Crymes, of
as well as his lawyer
nephew, and getting back to Able
vile little late for services he will
stop her in front of the Presbyterian

BLUE JEANS AND CALICO

Birmingham has started something
which is apparently sweeping the
country in more or less spasmodic
fashion. The covenant entered into
by $500 men of Pittsburg of the
South that they will wear denim
overalls on all occasions seems to
have the ear marks of solemn
league and no doubt can be had of
movement to reduce the high cost of
living has even reached Greenwood,
of course, in a small way.
The effectiveness of the boycott
would be certain if all would join in
it. Not to be at all pessimistic about
the final outcome Of the Overall
League we doubt, but there will be
a steady falling off of recruits in a
few weeks and nobody will be bene-
fitted except the overall manufac-
turer. We have no statistics of the
overall market in Birmingham at
hand but we believe that the figures
would show a considerable increase
in the selling price Of pair of Demo-
cratic pants in that city since the
movement was begun.
We all kick at the prices Of COM
modities today, but so strong is the
pull of vanity and habit that we are
not willing to live simply for even a
month. The apparel still doth pro-
claim the man, at least the degree Of
his material success, and we want
things often for no better reason
than that our next door neighbor
cant get them. Take peep in one OF
our millinery shops, if you are not a
bashfui fellow, and see how crowded
it is in this year of great
grumbling. -,
Unless you can't figure out that
communism is stronger than life and
get the women to stick to calico too
the Overall League will play out
sooner than did the Buy-a-Bale
movement q few years ago.
Nothing here said however
should be construed to deny that
most of the people in Spartanbure
and Greenwood should be perpetual
ly dressed in overalls, if only it is
spelled "over-halls."
