liant and engaging, but in action she
usually looks serious.
Mile. Lenglen thoroughly disproves
that old fashioned notion that because
a young woman is athletic she is neces-
sarily muscular and masculine look
ing. She is neither. Her body is
beautifully modelled, 1t is 1.-THE, supple.
graceful and has exquisite curves, with
not even muscular bumps on her smooth
sun tanned arms. which she seems to
feel she must keep r . rom even the
lightest covering. :. Ualst ~ slender
and her hips are becomin~ ! narrow
She has unusual breadth OF shoulder,
perhaps, but II Is not out OF proportion,
and the slimness and fiatness OF her
torso over the diaphragm is the envy
OF many Of her sex. 1t Is a line oftener
possessed by French women than by
English or American women. and 1t
accentuates a chest that is by no means
fiat.
On the tennis court Mile. I.englen
wears a much shorter skirt than at
other times and the pleats give her
ample freedom for her most athletic
jump or her most spectacular pirouette.
You feel that she has studied all this
carefully and thu he designer has
been guided entire by the demands
Of this young woman for ease. comfort
and grace.
The spectators liked her playing and
were delighted with her appearance.
On every side you heard her praises
sung by both sexes. She has made q
decided hit even before playing a match.
IL she wins 1t won't be 30 hard to pre-
sent her with the laurels. and IL she
loses It will not be such triumph as
IL the public hadn't already begun to
feel that she and they are friends.

SIX SINN FEINERS
 EXECUTED IN DUBLIN
Met Death Coolly, While Thousands Outside Gates Prayed for Repose
 of Their Souls.

Dublin, March 14.-Six Sim Fein- CTS fere executed this morning in Mount Joy prison by the British au- thorities, while 10000 persons knelt in prayer outside the prison walls.
 The condemned men were led in pairs to death at hourly intervals. All met their fate coolly, almost cheerfully and all protested their innocence to the last.
 Elaborate precautions were taken by the authorities to prevent dis turbances in the city, but the peo- pie conducted themselves quietly. All public work was stopped and the telegraph and post offices closed at noon. Many private industries were forced to close down when the em- ployes Hooked to the prison gates.
 At the first sound of the bell an- nouneing that the first pair of the condemned men was being led to death, the assembled thousands threw themselves on their knees and offered prayers for the souls of the men. The scenes around the prison were indescribable as the hour ap- preached for the execution, but the emotions of the crowd were repressed to a great extent.

ECHOES FROM SUNDAY

property in their possession is, that
 The attitude of most men toward they are owners of it. They say my land, my houses, my cattle, my money without one thought of God. But Gods word teaches that all man has belongs to God. He is the sole owner. His Word says, the earth is the Lords and the fullness thereof; the world and they that dwell therein; the cattle upon thousand hills. This teaching of the Old Testament harmonizes with the teaching of Jesus in the parable of the unjust steward, that man is only steward or trustee of that placed in his hands, and that he will be held accountable for the way he uses 1t; also if he is not faithful in the use of material things, he cannot expect the true riches to be entrusted to him. Yes, we are only stewards of that placed in our hands.
 Men might ask, why this teaching? That men may recognize God in their business. It makes great deal of difference in any mans life whether he acknowledges Gods ownership and himself as Gods Trustee or Steward
 Everything will have a more sacred relation to him and to everything else on this principle. Another req son for this teaching is, that God may truly own men and use them for their good and His glory.
 The aim of the true minister in stressing right views and right uses of porperty is that he may get men (for God), not their possessions.
 As Paul says, I seek not yours but you.
 Now let us note the effect of the common attitude of men as to prop erty; that is, that they are the owners and not God First, it keeps them separated form God in their secular affairs. Second, it keeps them in doubt as to whether they have done their duty to Gods cause. Third, it blocks the way to spiritual growth. Fourth, as a result of these effects, 1t flinders the advancement of the Kingdom of Christ.
 May God help us to see that all we have rightly belongs to God and that we are trustees held responsible for the right use of it.

 Pastor of Methodist Church.

London, March 15.-England and America have agreed to an amicable division of the seas, according to the general belief here.
 As a result of negotiations, it is believed that Britain will patrol the Atlantic ocean, while America will look after matters in the Pacific. This statement is strengthened by the statement from Washington that the Uni-ed States will concentrate the major portion of her fleet in the Pacific, and the London statement that Britain will reduce her naval budget by $7O,0O0,O00, abandoning any thought of competing with America.
 An alliance of this kind would make America and Great Britain the absolute masters of the seas. Their combined fleets would exceed the rest of the world. It would, no doubt, prove of great advantage in maintaining peace.

DIALION PLANTERS ADOPT
 MEMPHIS PLAN

The Cotton Association of Bowman township met on Saturday, March 18th, 1921.
 The pledge Committee reported that everybody in the community had been interviewed and turned in pledges showing that practically ev- cry farmer in the community had pledged himself to cut his cotton acreage to one-third of the cultiva- ble lands.
 The association recommended that liberal supply of fertilizer be used on food and feed crops, but while the price of fertilizers is not really high, it is badly out of line with the pres ent price of cotton and can not eco- nomically be used to produce cotton.
 Honorable R. E. Bridges, Esquire w. J. Harper and J. E. England de- livered addresses and each speaker put much stress on union in the mat ter of reducing cotton acreage, but it was shown that if only one man in the South adopted the plan, he would be benefited. For instance: Jones and Smith are neighbors with 50 acres of land each. Jones puts 20 acres in cotton and makes 10 bales. On his other 40 acres he raises food and feed, has meat in his smokehouse, corn in his crib, and hay in his barn, living at home. Smith puts his whole 50 acres in cotton, makes 30 bales. The price of cotton falls below price of production. Smith had better have done nothing for he has worked hard and lost, while Jones has comforta- ble living at home, and only ten bales of cotton produced at a loss and that not on account of poor management but on account of his co-workers, he :, has done his duty and has an easy conscience.
 From the enthusiasm manifested it would seem unnecessary but in the interest of safety and efficiency, Da- vid Rogers, Wm. Milns and Walter i Taylor were appointed a Field Com mittee to report on the faithfulness of pledge signers.
 The association will meet again at o'clock p. m. the Second Saturday in April, 1881.

CLAIMS JAPAN IS PERSECUTED

Tokio: (By Mail to United Press.) -@The White Peril and Japan's Flu ture" is the title of a book recently published in Tokio by one Hidka, who tries to show how Japan is being persecuted by America and Europe. He claims that Japan has been placed in a difficult international position by the ambitious white nations which will not be content until they have driven her into corner, and cites as evidence the allegation that they re- gard the alienation of China and Japan as one of the most important means of accomplishing this aim.
