Concert fy coIored Jubilee Singers al
IA. E. Church.

There Is a peculiar charm about the
quaint and plalntive Southern melo
dies which make them indescribab e
and imperishable. As sung by select
cd voices from among the American
negroes, i.lese rare old plantation
songs reveal facinating charms.
Even while in bondage the Joys and
hopes of-the negro race permeated
their music, making it unique and dis
tinctive, and the passing of time has
not appreciab y affected its charact y.
Negro iubilees. camp-meetins shouts,
folk songs, etc, still maintain an ir-
resstable appeal and the demand Tor
good negro musicians cont nues.
BY no organization doing platform
work is this demand more fully met
than by The Virg n ans" who will
present snappy. good, oid.fashioned
Jubilee program at the Methodist
church Saturday evening Of this
week. OF course most people viii
want season tickets as this Is the first
az a series Of eight entertainments
through the fall and winter.

FIND MAKES SCIENTISTS GLAD
Discoveries Recently Made on Scottish
Island Are Declared to Settle
an Old Dispute.

Discoveries of great interest to
archaeolOgists have been made on the
Island of RiSga In Loeb Sunart Ar
gyleshirc, Scotland, where band of
scientists has been searching in huge
shell mounds.
The director of the party is of the
opinion that the discoveries made in
this rocky and uninhabited island have
gone far to settle the dispute among
archaeOlOgists as to whether break

Of the British isles between Palace
lithic and Neolithic periods. He says:
"Vestiges Of human activity ex-
tremely like the 'Azilian,' as the inter
mediate period is called in France,
have now been recognized in Scotland
in the island Of Oransay, adjoining
Colonsay, and the name Of Oransay
has been given to this period in Scot
land"
The Risga excavations disclosed re-
mains of the OranSay mans dwelling
places, with his food, refuse and rude
tools, made of flint. jasper, quartz and
quartzite, horn and bone, and many
large implements made from the ant
lers of the red deer.

Every call and challenge Of life has
its appropriate window. Some are Of

dow itself is the thing beautiful and
the beholder is not expected to see be-

but nothing without can enter. Other
windows are Of the prism variety.
They give rainbow effects but reveal
nothing as it really is. Such windows
bewitch and enslave, but never reveal

HAS SEIZED GERMAN TRADE
Japan Said to Be Furnishing Practl-
caIIy All Of the Buttons Now
Used in China.

The style has changed in Manchuria
that, just after the establishment Of
the republic, set many Chinese wear
ing the garments Of the West, and
needing naturally western buttons
Such buttons, says Consul General AL
bert w. Pontius, writing home from
Mukden to his government, were i'm
ported about equally from Japanese
and European manufacturers, but now
the Chinese have pretty well gone back
to their own style Of dress, and the
one European garment that still re-
mains popular is the heavy ulster. One
no longer needs buttons, except for
ones ulster, and these are now chiefly
imported from Japan, for the Chinese
costume does very well with frogs"
But buttons, no longer seen, are evil
IDENTIFY needed somewhere, for in 1919
China imported about 100000 worth
Of them, bone buttons, composition but
tons, and mother-of- pearl buttons, and
about IS per cent Of these buttons
were "made In Japan" The war has
given Japan almost monopoly; one
might say that Japan buttons China.
And so 1t Is, says Consul General Pom
thus, with needles to sew the buttons
on. Before the war China was import
ing approximately 100000 worth of
needles a year, chiefly from Germany
and Austria; but now the Japanese
needle manufacturers control the Chi
neSe market and that is sad for the
Chinese needlewoman or needleman,
because the Japanese needles do not
keep their sharp points anything like as
long as the European needles.-Chris-
tan Science Monthly.
