Gown Your HomeP' What slogan, and ever
since Hill Ferguson started the movement here
some years back it has been taking like wild
fire all over the land.
It is call to which the best that there is in
a man answers to. A man is long ways on to
being a confirmed old bachelor who does not
react to it. It's the dream of every woman to
have a home of her own in spite of all the
bachelor maids alive.
Some publicsts were afraid that if women
were given the ballot it would destroy their
home loving instincts. There is small danger
of any such thing happening; but there is
strong likelihood that having the ballot in her
hand she will use it wisely and well to throw
safeguards around the home.
1t may be quite a different thing from the
simple old home life of the colonial days to the
complicated twentieth century establishment;
and yet in spite Of the change, and in the face
of the modern apartment house and family no.
tells, there never was time when people
craved home life more than at present.
1t is no easy thing to brush lightly aside the
constant warnings from pulpit, press and pub
licists and students of sociology about the dam
gers threatening family life; but every substi-
tute for it is looked upon mere compromise,
and in no way weakens the longing of the ma
jority of men and women for place where they
can have privacy and live out their lives after
their own desires
This is why the Southern Pine associations

The exhibit is interesting in itself, showing
as it does many things which can be done
with southern pine. l fear that southerners
fail to appreciate just what wonderful ma
terial it is simQg because they are used to see
ing the pine forests all around them, and fur
thermore on account of it's general use and
cheapness in comparison with the hardwoods.
/ think that some of the most beautiful in
terror finish I have ever seen in homes have
been the ones in which pine was used. There
is freshness and wholesomeness, yes, rich
ness about it that is unmistakable. The most
beautiful church interior I have ever seen and
in my opinion more attractive from every
standpoint than the old oak finished ones in
England is one at Valodsta, Ca. in which curled
pine has been used with great decorative effect.
Then the home of Frank Derby is made beau
tiful by pines cut on his own estate. Go and
see the Southern Pine associations exhibit and
you'll think more of the wealth of timber in
southern forests.

WOMEN PLAN TO EXHIBIT
HOMEMADE PRODUCTS

Women prominent in the civic affairs Of
Birmingham are making tentative arrangements
for; holding an exposition of Birmingham made
products. 1t Is proposed to bring the house
wife and the Birmingham manufacturers into
direct contact.
The project is an excellent Birming
ham manufacturers should embrace this oppor-
tunity to show the buyer what they manufac-
ture. The women of Birmingham will pur-
chase Birmingham-made goods if they IA
miar with them. Advertising is the necessary
medium. The exposition will be form of ad-
vertising.
It is pity that Birmingham has not an au-
ditorum large enough to house this exposition
properly, but the ingenuity of the women be-
hind the enterprise will make it Z success
somehow.
The president of the Alabama Manufacturers
association in a recent circular letter to men,
bers called their attention to the Importance
of reaching the housewife, who does the buying.
The coming exposition, if manufacturers coop
crate as they should, will mark a new era in
patronzing home industries.

PERSIMMoN BEER
From The Walton (Ga.) News.

From The Walton (Ga.) News.
Persmmon beer is here That season in
which this moderate type of "home brew" is
being served from large barrels at the country
farm house. Really this drink, when properly
made, is delicious, is suggestive of few other
things that tired, hungry editor longs to see.
1t is suggestive, first of ALL of the ginger cakes,
like our NANNY" used to bake-large, dark
brown home affairs that really had flavor
of ginger in them-ginger that must have been
gathered when the ginger crop was at its best.
1t suggests the season of the "possum and later"
feasts-times when the community life is astir
by the fumes from the baking pan. Did you
know that "possum am good?" 1t is, when
properly prepared, meat that is unequaled,
especially If you barricade the brown ribs and
fleaks of flesh with several big yellow yams--
yams that can be seen partly in and partly out
of the rich, brown gravy. Hold on minute!
Don't do anything rash. This is enough 20
sharpen the appetite of any man, admit,
but never cross the bridge until you get to it.

AMERICAN NAMES

+. P. A.. in The New York Tribune.
Speaking of Mr.. H. G. Wells as some news
papers are and some aren't, the names he
and other British novelists-pns on his Amer
lean characters often seem to us a trifle over
drawn, like the constant 81 guess and 81
reckon that English writers think Americans
use instead of commas. So we hope Mr.. Wells
won't see, by the Tulluah La, Madison Jour
nal, that "Mr Epnetus P. Boggs left Splinter
vile Friday for Tallulah,' nor that miss Elyz-
abethe Maudelia Feeney of Splinterville has
accepted very responsible position at the pop
ular boarding house of Mrs. Mary Chubb.'

ARBUCKLE CASE RESULTS
IN A MISTRIAI,

The result Of the Arbuckle trial in San Fran
cisco was not the moral vindication the come
dian claims it to be, nor would he have been
indicated if prompt verdict of acquittal had
been returned by the jury. To unprecedented
observer who has closely followed this case it
Rappe's death, Intentionally or otherwise. He
was proved, however, to be morally corrupt,
like many other members of the notorious Hol-
lywood colony, and that conviction stands.
No worth while evidence was brought out
to show that Arbuckle was guilty of manslaugh-
ter. Had it not been for the stubbornness of
woman juror, who exercised the feminine priv
ilege of discarding the evidence presented and
sticking to her determination to convict him
because she wanted him to be convicted, there
would not have been mistrial. In that re-
spect, the trial was farce, and reflection
the jury system as constituted in America.
Neither side has anything to brag about in
the way the case was conducted. In the char
acter of the witnesses and in the methods used
for and against Arbucke there was little to be
commended. The woman who swore to the
charge of manslaughter had such dubious past
that the prosecution didn't dare to put her on
the witness stand.
1t is claimed that San Franchises jealousy
of Los Angeles as a motion picture capital, ri
valries among the producers themselves, the
activities Of female reformers and other dis
creditable factors entered into the case. In
strict justice Arbuckle should have been &C
quilted, but the movie world will have some
difficutly>in living down the disclosures made
in san Francisco.

Outside are insignia, shown in state
But here are sweet incense-clouds, quietly

Have cooled this pavilion over the lake

And just be friends enjoying nature,
Are fish and meat prohibitive?

We lend our ears to beautiful poems. !.

SUCCESS RESTS WITH THE NEGRO

From The Kansas City Times.
A news dispatch tells of John w. Harris,
negro member-elect of the New York board Of
aldermen, Harvard graduate and publisher of
a New York newspaper, who is a native of Kan
sas and who has contributed another chapter
to the familiar story of Americans who have
started 'at the bottom" and climbed to places
of prominence. Being alderman in New
York is not the greatest distinction that may
come to man; but considering the other at
tainments of Harris and the conviction fire.
quently expressed that members of the negro
race are unduly kept down, there is little
1esson in the story of this mans experience.
The fact is that harris has REINFORCED q
truth that might have been plainly evident
long time ago--that member of any race in
America is going to be kept down when he
shows capacity to rise to any position where
his power for the right kind of influence may
be enlarged. Prejudice may block the way,
here and there; unwse legislation may operate,
and narrow mindedness may hinder, but all
these are hurdles easily topped by the person,
of any race or creed, who really has purpose
and good stout will behind it.
Booker T. Washington, who seems to have
given Harris some good advice once, constantly
taught this kind of thing to members of his
race. And nothing gave Washington more
satisfaction than his ability to point out
ample after example of the way in which his
teaching this subject had been indicated.
He could have begun with himself, although
his modestry forbade this; but there were sue
cessful negro bankers farmers merchants, bus
mess and professional men of all kinds, to il
lustrate his point. There is something to be
done in putting aside unnecessary hindrances
to negro Advancement but the biggest service
in this field may be performed by the negroes
themselves in showing, even to the most skep-
teal, their capacity for real attainment.

WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH CHINA?

WHAT rs THE MATTER WITH CHINA?
Chang Hsin-Hai, in The North American Re-
view.
The fundamental difficulty that is response
BILE for the unrest and disorder which now reigns
supreme in Chinese political and social affairs
can be traced accordingly to the appearance
of foreign ideas and, what is more important,
to their rampant dissemination. Foreign ideas,
merely because they are foreign, are not ia
boo: on the contrary, they should be warmly
received But differences in time and place
require the exclusion of those which have no
special bearing upon the Chinese people and
upon their problems. The tendency in China
at present unfortunately is towards taking over
everything foregn-good, bad and Indifferent
with perhaps greater attraction for the bad
and the Indifferent, of which there is full
supply in the treaty ports where the common
people receive strictly first-hand knowledge of
the west. This is as it inevitably must be
when the ideas lack control and concentration;
and the ultimate result is that not only do they
become dangerous catchwords which, because
they are strange to the mental habits of the
people are. deprived Of all their original mean
ing and content, but they also render useless
those native ideas which for centuries have
formed their mental support The Chinese
mind today is, to all intents and purposes, loos-
ened from all moorngs. It has been drifting,
especially within the last ten years, whittier no
one knows; neither is there any group of COM
petent men of power and influence to whom 1t
may look for guidance, nor it it itself capable
of finding definite aim to direct its endeavors.
It has thus come to pass that instead of max
ing for progress and enlightenment, these new
ideas have been making for danger and turmoil.

NOT IN THE RITUAL, BUT EFFECTIVE

From The Boys Own Paper.
General Pershing tells the story of volun-
teer battalion of rough backwoodsmen that
once Joined General Grant. He admired their
fine physique, but distrusted the capacity of
their uncouth commander to handle troops
promptly and efficiently in the field, so he
said:
Colonel, want to see your men at work;
call them to attention and order them to march
with shouldered in close column to the
left flank"
Without a moments hesitation the colonel
gelled to his fellow ruffians: "Boys, look wild
thar Make ready to thicken and go left end
ways! Tote yer guns! Gitw
The maneuver proved a brilliant success
and the self-elected colonel was forthwith Off
cially commissioned.

Romance of Tailoring
From The Manchester Guardian.


w. D. F. Vincent, editor of the Tailor and
Cutter, who traced the history of tailoring be-
fore the London Tailors' society, claimed that
it was older than the world-'it is of Divine
origin, poets proclaim it and philosophers as
sent it"
Proceeding from the Garden of Eden to
Egypt Mr.. Vincent gave, with some show of
being doubtful of the wisdom of doing so, on
account of the 70,0o0-pound income queen
of Egypt drew for pin money. mot small
allowance" he commented, land if our wives
wanted anything approaching it we should have
to consider seriously before we left the ranks
of the bachelors" Mr.. Vincent expressed re-
greet that living in a world "where moth and
rust doth corrupt" we cannot gaze upon some
of the garments made in those days, but for
tunately, he said, some of the Oldest records
remain in carved stone.
Mr.. Vincents next subject was the "Sump-
tuary Laws" "There isl he said, abundant
evidence that in all ages beautiful clothing has
been very much sought after, and in many
ages the rank of the wearer has been indicated
by the style of his dress; so that it is new
thing for man or woman to endeavor TO
appear to belong to better class Of society
than is actually the case, which leads them to
spend vast sums on their apparel beyond what
they are really able to pay. This led to the
passing of laws to prevent extravaganza in dress
and other ways.
1--WE are told that they abounded in ancient
legislation. So long ago as 450 B. c. they are
to be traced, while Solons Guide to Grecian
Laws and the history of the Roman censors
show that they exercised the most careful
supervision of expenditure, not only in the
matter of clothing but in the question of enter
tainments and private expenditure. Sumptuary
laws were in great favor in England in the thir-
teenth century, when law was passed that all
who did not enjoy free estate of 100 pounds
per annum were prohibited from wearing furs,
skins or silk Sumptuary laws of England
reached their climax in the reign of Queen
Elizabeth, when two watchers or inspectors
were appointed for every parish, armed with
schedules of all persons assessed to the later
200 pounds in goods and upward, in order to
see that prohibition against all silk trimmings
obeyed.
Before l dismiss the subject l must not
forget little story" Mr.. Vincent added, "of
how nobleman revenged himself on COM
moner who copied him. He learned from his
tailor that this man had placed an order for
one ordered by himself whereupon he placed
an order for made of the worst materials,
all cut up into shreds. The order was duly
executed and the poor commoner had to pay
for the suit without being able to wear it."
