American university an college circles viii buzz
with resentment at the treatment accorded the
Bates College in the International debating con-
test recently held in England. While there is nc
excuse which can modify the appalling lack OF
sportsmanship that led the opposing team to ignore
the question under discussion, and indulge in sheer
ing insults directed at the American people, yet the
choice of such an unfortunate question for debate
could hardly fail to cause, trouble No other out
come could he expected from notion That the
House approves the American policy of non-Inter-

AVOID DUPLICATION

\ HE cooperation Of all organizations distributing
charity in this city is something which should BE-
profoundly boosted These organizations never made
better move than they did the other night when they
got together to formulate plan whereby their actions
should not duplicate.
Every dollar is going to count this winter, and in
spite of the fact that Faimont has hardly felt business
depression. has hardly realized the industrial slump yet
we are bound to be more or less affected by prevailing
conditions and all charitable organizations going to
be called upon accordingly.
With the Red Gross, the Salvation Army, the Asso-
ciated Charities and many church and fratenal relief
organizations, there can not help but be much dupca
ton unless some specific plans be laid to prevent it
Such plans should be worked out without delay, and
will certainly meet with general popular approval when
announced

Many women from now on will
wear well.cut serge dresses with.
out a coat with gloves to match
and hat ofthe same color. Black

and Of course canton crepe is very
popular. With the black street
dress, castor or gray silk hosiery
is worn and black low shoes. The
effect-the gray or castor reliev-

We have never bet on a football
