MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT
IN NEW COLLEGE HALL.

Mrs. Emma Boyd Spellings and
Miss Elizabeth Spellings presented
their younger pupils in recital last
Thursday evening in the auditorium
of the High School building, before
an appreciative audience which filled
both the main floor and the balcony.
Without exception the children per-
formed in a creditable manner. If
any further proof of Mrs. Spellings'
ability were needed, it was quite evil
dent in the playing of her pupils, and
the ease and faculty with which even
small children executed difficult pas
sages.
Ruth Threadgill and Flossie Mel
ton Ball deserve especial mention for
their self-possession and well-prepar-
ed pieces. Robert Huntsman and
John Murray Hall scored hits with
clever recitations in the first part of
the program. Other recitations al
most equally as good were given by
Mary Elizabeth Taylor, LaRue and
Elizabeth Morris.
And other musical numbers which
every one enjoyed were contributed
by Louise Austin, Virgil Stewart,
Louise Austin, Ruth Pearson.
In the absence of three pupils who
were unable to appear, Miss Spell
ings herself gave beautiful, reading
in negro dialect which was greatly
appreciated.
The pupils of the 9th, 9th, 7th and
Sth grades appeared in the second
section Of the program. Miss Sue
Moore, Of Chesterfield, was very good
in lullaby with piano accompani-
ment. Miss Ada Edwards was de-
lightful In an Irish piece. Miss Ma
ry Francis Phillips gave "Edith's
Burglar" Miss Irene Wolfe good
recitation with piano accompanis
ment, and Carolyn Davis apiece IN
child dialect, Ivie Holland, sCornelia
ianntsnan SIzfy I6l
Evelyn Noel played wen indeed for
young musicians and the more ad-
vanced work was displayed in very
creditable manner by Miss Louise Es-
sary and Miss Mary Paul Spellings.
The program was closed by trio for
piano by Misses Mary Sue Ballard,
Louise Tier and Jaunita White.
The High School pupils and special
students will give a recital Thursday,

The skirts were never so attractive,

earlier in the game have given way to

broidery, herring bone, and others too
numerous to mention, all are here, and

Most important OF last week s
events In the United States was the
opening Of the national conference on
unemployment. The social economists
and captains Of industry summoned to
Washington by President Harding are
not expected to work miracles or to
lind q way In which immediate and
remuneratIve employment can be given
MI the millions cf involuntary idle in
The country, but there Is reason to
believe they can devise means for re-
iieving the distressing situation In
Il general way. .he solution of the
problem. as the leaders In the confer

among employern and with govern
mental construction agencies to dis

ume Of employment In slack seasons.
Among the broed phases of the prob
lem. as stated by Secretary Of Com
'nerce Hoover. are:
A determination Of the volume and
distribution Of employment.
Emergency measures to provide en-
idoymeDt and mitigate suffering that
may arise during the coming winter.
Measures which may aid in restor-
ing commerce and employment to

Immediately after the opening ses-
sion nine subcommittee got busy. and
sn rapidly did they work that the
conference reassembled Friday "a
week earlier than had been expected

made by the manufacturers, are as
follows:
Unite existing private and public
organizations to put through a con-
structive program for your community.
See that there Is a suitable en-
ployment exchange In your commun-
ity.
Assist private and public employ
crs and labor organizations rather
than have any single civic or family
welfare agency or combination of
agencies assume the full responsibility.
Bring to the attention of public au-
thorities specific recommendations for
increasing volume Of public work.
Urge both private and public en-
pl0yers to distribute labor by rota-
tion In shifts Of three days or more
at a time.
Persuade each industry to absorb
definite quotas Of unemployed.

See that decent sanitary accommo
dations for homeless men are made

In opening the conference President
Harding warned 1t that the admins

that involved a further drain on the

with the policy followed in England

not the same. The British government

Straight Garment Popular, colIarIess
and With Either Very Short or
Long Sleeves

New blouse styles have been few
and far between during the past few
seasons; at least blouses have fol-
lowed rather the beaten track as far
as their major features are concerned.
Novel trimming touches, new ways of
combining fabrics, unusual color
blendings, have constituted the only
really new notes in blOuses for some
time and so far many of the styles
so much featured as to become staple
dominate next seasons blouses.
The straight smock-like blouse is
popular, collarless and with either
very short or long sleeves. A smock
hat flares quite nOticeably all around,
really in a sort of Gil cular fashion,
Is a favohite. These blouses are made
of the usual run of suitable silks and
crepes, generally elaborately and gay

Belts and Sashes.

A new slogan might bN 'Tt is the
belt that makes the gown" for in
many instances all else Is plain. and
the winding around the waist becomes
the center of the design of the whole
frock. All sorts of fancy ribbons anC
brocades are brought into play fol
this form of decoration. Then there
are cords galore. and strings of beads
and metals to be used for girdles. ANY
one Of them is thing of beauty al
by itself, and It's association with th'
gown brings both into relief with {
fascination one cannot fail to appreci
ate.

Our own strike threat comes In the
railway work. For days the votes Of
the rail union members have been
coming " TO headquarters. the ques-
tion being whether there shall be a
walknat because Of the reduced wages
established by the federal railway
labor board and the working agree
ments and conditions decreed. The
vote of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen already has been counted
and is announced as being 90 per cent
in favor of q strike. The votes Of the
other brotherho0ds are being counted.
and 1t is taken for granted that they
will solidly support the stand taken
by the trainmen. OF course this does
not mean that strike is certainty,
for the final decision rests with the
brotherhood officials and grievance
committees. Many Of the officials are
very reluctant to Issue the order that
will tie up the country's transporta-
tion facilities.

Unexpected opposition sprang up to
with Germany, Austria and Hungary,
even with the senate committees
reservation providing that Americas
representation on the international
commissions must be decreed by con-
gress. The Democrats decided to fight
ported that they were receiving the
active support Of former President
Wilson. They prepared a series of
reservations Of their own. With the
approval of the President, the Repub-
lican leaders undertook to hurry up
the ratification by means of night ses-
sions Of the senate. and Mr.. Lodge,
II was said, told Mr.. Harding that
enough votes were in sight whenever
Il came to final action. 1t was stated
that twenty Democrats. and three Re-
pubIicans favored fat rejection Of the
treaties. This would not be enough
to block ratification. and besides,
some Of them probably would accept
the pacts with reservations designed
to carry out the idea of closer par
ticipotion in European affairs.
In the reichstag. also, there was
much opposition to the treaties as
they stand, especially to the acknowl-
edgment by Germany of its guilt in
starting the war. They hold that the
former kaiser's government, and not

flict. What worried Germany more
than treaties last week, however. was
the fact that II was on the brink of
tremendous financial panic. Chan
cellor Wirth announced the country
would go bankrupt If 1t was forced
to pay the next indemnity installment
Of a million marks in gold. and the
German money market promptly col
lapsed. The value Of the mark has
fallen to ridicuIously low point, and
for this the financial spectators are
blamed, the press denouncing them
as Unreasonable hyenas."
Premier BRAND has announced that
he and the rest of the French dele
gates to the conference on limitation
Of armaments and Far East questions
will sail for the United States on the
steamer Lafayette probably Novem-
Der 1. Though in other matters the
Frenchmen may come with open
minds, on one point they will bring
a fixo1 determination. They will re-
fuse to discuss the reduction of land
armament unless they are fully as
sured of the support Of the allies in
case Germany attacks France. The
French now have an army of about
10000, the largest and best in the
world, and they have no intention of
reducing its size or efficiency as long
as Germany remains the menace to
France, which they consider her to
be. 1t is said that Marshal Foch is
likely to present to the confer
ence the French reasons for opposing
reduction Of land armament unless
some new security is offered France
