On Sunday afternoon, March q,
1921, Mrs. Marie Wilson Weir, wife
Of Professor II. L. Weir, Of the Nor
NAL School, died at the College Hos
pital Of heart trouble.
Mrs. Weir was born in Cincinnati,
Ohio, June 10, 1890. When she was
ten years Of age she joined the
Westwood Methodist Episcopal
Church. At the age of eighteen she
graduated from the Hartwell High
School. The following year she be-
gan teaching in the public schools
Of Covington, Ky, at which place she
taught for a period of FIVE years.
In May, 1916, she was united in
marriage to Mr.. II. l.. Weir. Mr..
and Mrs. Weir located at Nettle
Carrier, Tenn, where they were en-
gagged In the mountain mission work
under the Presbyterian Board. Three
years later. they moved to Cowan,
Tenn, and the following year, 1920,
came to Berea.
Altho Mrs. Weir has been practi-
cally an invalid for more than two
years, she was confined to her bed
for only two weeks before her death.
She was so accomplishing, cheerful
and brave that very few people real
lied the seriousness of her condi-
ton. Her sweet disposition, gentle
and kindly manner made friends Of
all with whom she came in contact.
The funeral services were held at
three o'clock on Tuesday, March 20,
at the Union church, of which Mrs.
Weir was a member. The men of
the Normal faculty acted as pail
bearers. A mixed quartet under the
direction of Professor Rigby sang
20 Love That Will Not Let Me Co."
"Jesus, Lover of My Soul" and "My
Jesus As Thou Wilt" DR.. Hutchins
spoke simple and touching words of
sympathy and comfort.
Interment took place at the Berea
cemetery. The students Of the Nor
NAL School, who had marched from
the church in a body, lined up on
both sides Of the drive while the
funeral procession passed thru.
Among the many lovely floral trib-
utes were wreath Of Gala lilies and
narcissi from the Normal students,
a spray Of pink sweet peas and fern
from the Normal faculty, and spray
Of carnations and sweet peas from
the Woman's Club.
Mrs. Weir is survived by her hus-
band, Professor II. l.. Weir, a little
daughter, Carolyn Blanche, her
mother, Mrs. Frances Wilson, two
sisters, Mrs. Weaver and Mrs.
Davidson, and five brothers, Messrs.
Harold, Burnet, Frank and Henry
Wilson Of Cincinnati and Mr.. Ham
mond Wilson Of Chicago.
Berea, the school, and especially
the Normal School extend their
heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved
ones who will find their sweetest
comfort in looking forward to that
happy reunion promised by the
Saviour, in whom she, who has just
passed to the fuller life, firmly
trusted and believed.

CLOTHED OR UNCLoTHED1

The following resolutions are the
result of spirited and vital dis
cussion at a missionary meeting last
Wednesday:
Whereas, we sincerely believe that
women's and girls clothing tend 70
become less and less modest and
more and more indecent every day;
and
Whereas, only the evidence Of
strong public sentiment against such
immodesty can ever stem the on
rushing current Of shamelessness and
indecency;
Therefore, be II resolved, first, that
every member Of the woman's Mis-
sionary Society Of the Berea Bap-
fist Church strive for perfect mod
esty In herself; second, that we 20
on record publicly as being absolute
ly opposed to all clothing which does
not fulfil the two-fold purpose Of
protection and modest covering; and
last, that we try, by loving advice
and example, TO teach our girls the
long-lost, old-fashioned art of mod
esty.
Mrs. John Cunningham, president
W. M. s. Of Berea Baptist Church
The indecent undress. once COM
mon TO only harlots and fallen wom-
en-, Is now pervading the ranks Of
those whom we have been accustomed
70 consider pure and holy. II is
more and more becoming the style
for women Of the loveliest and purest
character 70 wear clothes that our
erandmothers would have blushed to
have worn. IN the privacy Of their
bedrooms. The majority Of our or
PLANTATIONS that strive 10 advance
public welfare are standing aghast
ut the wave OF crime and horror that
is sweeping the country, and yet
some Of the women who make ad-
dresses concerning the crime and
criminals Of today do so in clothes
which are as criminally immoral as
anything against which they could
speak. As our resolutions above
state. we believe that the only way
in which we can recover our modesty
is by stopping short right now, get
ting right ourselves, and then strive
to create public opinion that will
make the undress Of the present day
leave our ranks, and pray that we
may 20 back 70 decency and modestv
as little less pure as is possible. II
the women do not undertake 10
change this themselves, II seems as
tho our making bodies must en-
force modestv by law, a step which
none Of us wants 10 see taken. We
cannot expect our daughters to be
modest, pure women unless they see
modesty and purity in us. Let us
start crusade right now for making
modest home makers Of our girls in
stead Of immodest street walkers.

President

Bill Bailey, a pitcher with many

permitted in the Sally League. Then
he faced such southpaws as Dutch
Leonard and Red Oldham and held
his own. Urban Shocker and Red
Faber were some Of the righthanders
he was called upon to face for his
introduction to the big show. The
lad did well to hit for ESQ In his
fourteen games.
Instead of that experience, the aver.
age lad comes up and finds himself
petted and pampered until he either
explodes with conceit or quits. under
fire. Old ball players know that In
their time there was none Of that PAM
pering seen today among the big
leaguers. Furthermore. the conceited
player is about as valuable to his club
as the gutter, just that and nothing
more.
No. a good batter can hit any sort of
pitching. That's why twentythree
American Leaguers landed in the 800
class this past season. though there
was but a handful of good southpaw
pitchers upon whom they might feed.
