efficient HOUSEKEEPING
By LAURA A. KIRKNiAN.

quality, or mixed with new wool
or cotton. Such material Is
warm, looks very well for time,
wears very we'll for such gar
ments as caps and dresses which
receive no particular strain at any
one part, and, in short, fills a real
need If 1t Is sold as shoddy and
il low price has been paid for
1t.
But where high price is asked,
the housewife must make sure
that the cloth is pure wool be-
fore she purchases it. If possible
she should take a sample of the
cloth home and try the burning
test upon it. Pure wool burns
slowly, chars, has an odor of
burnt feather, goes out easily and
leaves a crisp ash. A cotton-and-
wool mixture will burn quickly
with flame, has little odor while
burning, and will leave no ash.
If a sample of the wool cannot
be obtained for this test, the
housewife will have to learn pure
wool through careful observation
and constant handling. Keep a
pure wool garment around and
pick it up every once in so often
to get the feel of good wool.
Real wool mats together because
of the scaly structure on the sur
face; it absorbs a great deal of
moisture without seeming wet; 1t
is so elastic that often when badly
wrinkled the wrinkles will come
out IL the garment is hung away
for time; 1t has "a great deal
of luster and is light in weight
as compared with other fabrics in
proportion to it's warmth.

BEING INVESTIGATED
BY CITY OFFICIALS

Decatur, December 10.-(Special)-

ed by thes Alabama Water company

them to buy small farms and equip
them thoroughly, so that they Will

friendship with the United States, her
constant desire to continue this
friendship, is certain to have great
influence in the discussion OF matters
within the new entente.
There is further Importance
world importance-in the fact that
new point of contact in the Pacific
entente. This will be good for the re-
lations of the two countries, now
strained almost to the breaking point.
1t Is appreciated here that the
United States has wanted to stand by
France, despite the fact that France,
through her negative position at the
Washington conference. had alienated
some of her close friends.
After all is said and done. the new
Horsepower pact to be signed at
Washington, may be regarded as
orld-controlling body--if it desires
to exercise that function. 1t 1t brings
about a better feeling between France
and Great Britain--due to the inter-
cession of America in Frances be-
half--it will have helped to solve the
troubles of Europe. The combination
of the United States and Japan in
preserving peace and order In the
Pacific makes for tranquility in that
part of the world where many ex-
perts had known the next great con-
flagration will break out.
France as yet knows little of the
late proceedings at Washington, but
the little knowledge that she has had
led to new hopes as to the future.

Greenville. December 1o.-(Special.)
In discussing the agricultural situa-
tion in Butler county, H. C. Heath.
county agent, is very optimistic over
the prospects for the coming year.

100-Year-Old Greenville Landmark
Torn Down

Greenville, December 1o.--tSpe-
cial)-The Odd Fellows hall, built
nearly 100 years ago, has torn down
yesterday and today by corps OF
hands from the city's forces. The
building was of frame construction.
located in one of the best business
blocks IN Greenville, having been
used to house the Odd Fellows and
various other business enterprises
from time to time. 1t had been neg

fact that the odd Fellows lodge
went out of existence about that
time. 1t had gotten into such con-
dition that it was condemned by the
city as very great fire hazard, and
orders were given to tear il away.
and thus was the passing OF one OF
the oldest buildings in tho city.

ACCLAIM K|LBY
AS GOOD FELLOW
Governor Bouyant Because
He Left tate In Good FL
nanciaI Condition
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS
Washington Bureau, The -IIoral
500 Davidson Build

Washington, December 10.-(Spe-
cial.) Gov. Thomas C. Kilby came
to washington with very light
heart. For In. Charleston, where the
governors OF all states mot in an
nual convention, he was unanimously
acclaimed "a very popular man aad
"a real good Fellow
In washington, he was received by
the President of the United. States
who greeted him cordially. and re
called. with apparent pleasure, tSat
the two had met in Birmingham Just
a few short weeks ago" Other than
the President, the governor met ma ~
! distinguished men. Senator Under
wood made him welcome at the dis
armament conference. and presented
him to the statesmen of foreign ma
tions.
But the governors buoyancy was
probably attributable to the condition
in which he left the state. He ex-
pressed his delight that unlike the
average governor who comes east in
the fall Of the year, he was not en-
deavorlng to borrow money. Alabama
is in good financial condition, he said,
with obvious delight.
Governor Kilby, with modesty,
spoke of his success with the lagisla-
ture. There were practically four
sessions he said. For the regular
session was split, and there followed
two extraordinary sessions, Every
bill the administration made a
straight fight for was written into
law; and no bill the administration
opposed was passed. We lost ihe
Bevo' bill, but of course 1t was fore
doomed. We lost measure which
would have secured the inspsetion of
all bills by the supreme cour: prior
TO their enactment But in COMPARE
son 1t was small and unimporta at
bill"
The governor, in speaking OF the
achievements of the legislature. mem
TONED with obvious satisfaction, two
bills which he believes will rsdoInd
to the great interest OF the stats. The
first of these specified by him was
the -picketing bill, and the Sec
ond, the bill which permits the bring
ing OF suits in Alabama against or
CARNATIONS which might not be in
corporated.
1t Is the opinion of the governor
that these measures will prevent
other serious strikes in the mineral
districts of the state.

Interpretations of Premier BRAND by a

feeling which goes far deeper than

Same Feeling In England
Moreover, the same feeling has
prevailed in England and anti French

spectacular than in the excitable
Mediterranean peninsula, were none
the less significant.
Furthermore, these popular mani

seemed, far from endeavoring to stem
the tide of sentiment hostile to
France, have encouraged II.
The question naturally had risen,
therefore. as to whether the end of
the European entente cordiale. so Of
ten heralded, was at last In sight.
There has been a feeling here that
British interests at Washington were
working against France, were trying
to ALLEVIATE the United States from
France. and that in reaching under
standings as to the future conduct of
the world, France virtually was to be
left out of consideration.
New Light Dswns
But the news which came to France
on Friday has put a new light on
matters. To be frank, this news is
very obscure to Frenchmen as yet.
II appears that France had been kept

sort OF uninterestod looker-on.
French hope in the conference rap
idly was dwindling, although at one
time. ii had been exceedingly high.
The French delegates, ever since the
departure of Premier BRAND, had
been anxious to quit Washington and
come home.
1t was realized that Premier BRAND
had returned home without any prom

and without any definite substitute
for the European entente which adj

Now. however, France is to be in

among Great Britain, Japan and the
United States. 1t is known here that
the Washington agreement, Is to be
the outgrowth of the British plan for
a tri-partite understanding with ia
pan and the United States, to serve
as a sort of substitute for the Anglo
Japanese alliance. 1t was the British
plan to ignore France in this con-
nection.
So far as can be learned here TO-
day, 1t was the initiative of Secre-
tary Hughes which has brought
France into the llmelight once more
and the decision forced by the Amer
lean chairman of the conference may
have a more far-reaching effect than
he imagined.
To Serve Az Balance
1t is perhaps realized here that the
United States would have felt in a

of France that an attempt was being

France and reduce her to second
