MRS. IDA KRUsE MACFARLANE.

Make things which are worth
while as attractive as those which
are not and the result will be a bet
ter standard OF living and a better
educated people.
Thus Mrs. Ida Kruse MacFarlane,
teacher of English at Denver uni
versity, according to her own policy,
plans the wardrobe for her teaching
and lectures with utmost care.
She cOnfesses that she devotes
hours to the study Of her gowning
and denies interest in clothes is a
sign Of superfciality.
School teachers" says Mrs Mac
Farlane, should dress more attrac-
lively than motion picture stars. For
how can we expect young people to
love the cultural if it is presented by
folk who look like the disinherited.

Educators must dress in keeping
with the things they represent if they
hope to compete with other interests
in life. Education must be made so
beautiful that it is irresistible"
Clothes should be planned, accord
ing TO Mrs. MacFarlane, on a five
year basis and some particular color
scheme should be dominant so that
various accessories can be changed
and the frocks can be combined we'll
for remaking.
In the selection of accessories, says
Mrs. MacFarlane. is the greatest
danger. No ornament should be
worn simply because it is pretty. -
it does not blend with the general
scheme Of the gown and has not a
reason for being. it should not be
worn.

American Business Men Are Very
Much Interested.
Germany's acceptance of the allied
reparation demands has promptly sti7
mulated interest Of American business
in German trade possibilities. There
has been a marked increase in the
number of inquiries reaching the state
department concerning trade restric-
tions, to which Secretary Hughes ms
replied in effect that with the eXcep-
ton of a few articles and few re-
strictions. Americans may carry On
trade with. German houses freely.
I; The same. feeling. apparently was
reflected in reportsrfrorn allied CAPT
tails Of improved exchange quotations
In. this connection, Secretary Mellon
said today that he expected the ad-
vances recorded by French and British
exchange rates TO be permanent 70
somc extent While the effect Of Ger
manys acceptance upon exchange
was largely psychological, Mr.. Mellon
said, it seemed unlikely that exchanges
would drop again to its previous low
rates.
Analysis made by administration
officers of the allied plan for the col
lection of reparations caused them tc
declare today that they could see In
it no serious flaw.

The Story of
| Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
XVI.-TENNESSEE
THE history
MS1sMSs45M i of Tennes-
MSA 81 &SSM see stretches
&YsaAYfss9Tfffe back to the
Vs m El year 1541
vs. sEA411k. A wien De Soto
WSSeSo4TS$SsS# with his par
%I79&S ty of Spanish
adventures probably reached
the present site of Memphis on
the Mississippi. The French
under La Sale built fort here
about 1862. The English also
laid claim to this territory, in
Guiding it in the grant to North
Carolina. 1t was not until ITO
that the first permanent settle
ment was made by James Rob
ertson and this was soon fol-
lowed by many other settlers
from North Carolina. They
formed what they called the
Washington district, but this
was short lived as it was
promptly annexed to North
Carolina. In 1884 the inhabi-
tants, indignant over North Car
olina's attitude toward them,
declared their independence and
formed the State of Franklin
. or Franklund. AS this seces-
sion was not countenanced by
North Carolina, for q number
of years state Of confusion
existed with two sets Of officers
trying to govern. Meanwhile
the settlement suffered severely
from hostile Indians and from
the Spanish, who still held Lou
isiana, and controlled the Mis-
sissippi river. In 100 North
Curolina finally ced1d this ter
ritory to the United States. BY
179G the population had in
creased to over 10000, so Ten
nesSce was admitted rs the six.
teenth state Of the Union.
At the outbreak Of the Civil
war, Tennessee joined the Con-
federucy. In 1866, when the
state was readmitted to the I'm
ion, there was much disorder
during the reconstruction period.
This led to the formation Of the
