HER AFTERNOON QUITE BUSY
Violet Grace, However, Had Intervals
Of Leisure, and Took Advantage
Of All of Them.

Violet Grace dressed to go shopping
Last of all she powdered her nose.
She went first to certain store, for
II was having sale, but she didn't
see bargain In the whole store, so
she left. She paused moment at the
ribbon counter and powdered her nose
She stopped at the blouse shop. She
simply had to have blouse soon. But
they had nothing that appealed to her,
so after powdering her nose she went
out.
she visited We baby shOppe to see II
she could find little gift for Candles
baby, but everything was so frightfully
expensive that she decided to make
something to give. She powdered her
nose Mt the doorway. There was such
good mirror there.
Feeling weary, she had cup Of
chocolate and some waters. The choc-
olate was not very hot and the
whipped cream looked mussy. She re-
solved she would go somewhere else
next time. Those tea shops detert-
Grated so after they had established
reputation. She powdered her nose
before leaving the table.
1t was early to go home, so she
thought she might as well see pic
ture. She was disappointed In 1t, how
ever, and she went out before It was
altogether finished. She powdered her
nose again in the rest room.
She boarded street car for home
She wished she did not have to walk
two blocks when she got off, but there
was no help for 1t. She powdered her
nose and allghted.
The afternoon was over.-Katherine

WELL, 1T LOOKED SUSPICIOUS
But What Prohibition Officers Thought
Was a "StiII" Was Really Some
thing Quite Different.

State and federal prohibition officers
were silent concerning a recent expert
ence, when they swooped down on the
shack Of John Finn Of SherbOurne
mountain to raid what was supposed
to be giant still.
Finn, Russian, was nowhere to be
seen, but at the rear Of his clearing
was rough, conical stone structure,
about six feet high. its chinks filled
with clay. Under 1t cracked a log
fire, while from Its top issued smoke
and steam.
One still-hunter pried open the
small iron door, thrust hand into
the steam-filled interior and emitted
a shrek.
"a laig." he cried. "A human lalg |!
And it's alive!"
From the doorway emerged first the
foot. next the "laig," and then body
Of John Finn. clad only in the muddy
mantle Of innocence.
"What v doin'?" was fired at him.
"Takin' BATH" he answered In
broken English.
Finn explained he had built himself
a Russian bath. obtaining the steam
by letting cold water drip on heated
stones.-Rutland (Vt.) Dispatch In

GERMANY SUPPORTS
 BRITAIN ON SILESIA

London, July 30.-Germany would abide by the decision of the allied supreme council relative to the ques- tion of transportation of French division across Germany to reinforce the French troops in upper Silesia, according to information available here.
 The German foreign minister. Dr. Rosen, informed the French ambas- sador in Berlin last night to this effect, Germany's position being stat ed in a note handed to the ambas- sador, the advices state.
 (Note--Great Britain has insisted that the supreme council should de- eide whether troops should be sent to Silesa, while France contends that troops should be dispatched at once, and the supreme council might later meet and pass on vital phases of the Slesian problem,)
 The latest French communication insisting that more troops he sent in- to upper SiIesia immediately, which came as something of surprise to official circles in London, is un- derstood 10 have been the subject of an important conference in the official residence of Prime Minister Lloyd George in Downing street Thursday morning, at which MT Lloyd George, the dominion premiers and several members of the cabinet were present.

COTTON ACREAGE
 HEAVILY REDUCED

Washington, July 29,--An sun- precedent change in the ratios of the acreage devoted to leading crops ill the cotton belt has been shown this year. The Department of Agri- culture said in a statement yesterday that almost 11,0O0,000 acres have been cut from the cotton, rice and tobacco acreages, and slightly less than twothirds of this area has been taken up with wheat, corn, oats, hay, potatoes and other crops Most of the remainder of the land has gone back into pastures or is left idle. The net reduction of land in cultivation in the cotton states still leaves larger acreage in cultivation, however, than be- fore the war.
 In the 10 leading cotton states, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee Mis- sissippi, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas the cotton acreage this year has been reduced 10,194,OOO acres. or 2S per cent; the rice acre. age reduced 450,000 acres or 19 Der cent. and the tobacco acreage 262.- ooo acres or 32 per cent.

Chicago, July 30.--Every effort will be made to thwart attempts to obtain communication of sentence or freedom for Carl Wanderer, saved from hanging yesterday by the re- prieve granted by Gov. Len Small late Thursday, according to Ernest Hodges, assistant states attorney. The rcprieve, running until Sept. 30, for the man convicted of having killed his wife, her unborn babe and the ragged stranger in q fake holdup, was granted on the plea of William R. McCauley, Illinois commander of the American Legion. Commander McCauley argued that he had reason to believe Wandcrer is insane.

N. Y. 'DESTROYED"
 BY BOMBING PLANES

New York, July 30.-New York and Washington yesterday in theory were bombed off the map, following in the wake of Norfolk, Newport News and Richmond Philadelphia is due for theoretical bombing Monday.
 The fate of the various cities was made known yesterday by Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, assistant chief of the army air service, when he stepped from his plane after leading three squadrons of IT bomb- CTS on an aerial attack" against New York. A simultaneous attack on Washington by 70 machines had been ordered.
 All these air raids are part of q war problem which army aviators are working out after having par ticipated in the recent bombing of former German war craft off the Virginia Capes. The planes which made New Workers stare aloft had arrived here after coming up the coast from Langley Field, Va, and leaving waste astern. After week ending at Mineola air fields they will start the week right by swoop- ing down on Philadelphia.
 Seventy men were assigned to the New York attacking party. Weath- CT conditions were ideal for an air attack. The haze that hung over the land made observation of the planes flying at 5000 feet virtually impos- sible, and officers declared the planes could have bombed away without fear of successful counter-attack from anti-aircraft guns on the ground.
 After the forts had been put out of action the squadrons swOOped down to 4,OOO feet and flew over Wall street The sub-treasury was then the chief target
 Although curious New Workers never knew it. thousands of them were slain-always theoretically and scarcely q building was left standing in the financial district. The aviators said they had opened the way for hostile force to steam into the harbor and seize the city.

PEOPLE ARE AROUSED OVER
 EDUCATION
Statewide Interest Being Manifested in Regard to Imperative Needs of Pub lie Schools.

Little Rock, July 29.-The people of Arkansas are aroused as never before over the imperative needs of our public schools. Through various agencies, including the State Department of Education, the Ma tional Foundations of various kinds, Federal agencies, county superin- tendents and Boards of Education and the Forward Education Move ment, the people are being awaken ed to the importance of definite action if the humiliating conditions are to be remedied.
 Facing the future, educationally, it will not be amiss to consider to what extent education is vital in the future progress and develop ment of the state. There are three fundamental factors:
 l. Natural resources. By this is meant minerals, timber, climate, water power, soil facility and other things of that kind.
 2. Native ability pf the people, whether they be rugged, sturdy, broadshouldered. good type of human being or weddings. their constitu- tions sapped by the vices of their before they were born.
 5. Acquired ability, or what is commonly understood to be educa- tion.
 Natural resources will remain rrofitless unless through educa tion the people acquire the skill and ability to develop and utilize them. All material considerations therefore require that the education al program be supported to the end that every girl and boy in the state be given an equal educational op- portunity.
