F any prophet could arise any say
that one certain thing would be
the rule for the spring, there
would be much anxiety allayed.
The dressmakers might be happier
than the public. It is they who must
blaze the path. 1t is not they who
decide the result.
The public pleases itself in the end
when it comes to the final decision on
fashions. The old English saying
that usage is the judge, the law. the
rule of speech, is not always applica-
BILE to clothes.
The commercialists may be inclined
to doubt this What is worn by the
masses is held as fashionable by
those who Sell and by thousands of
those who buy. But it is not strictly
true.
The group of women in any nation
who lead fashions are apt to discard
whatever the masses adopt. The de-
signers of Importance rellnquish their
grip on that which becomes universal.
Those who create fashions and those
who explore and accentuate them, re-
fuse to buy the thing which has been
offered to all.
1t is this flowing and ebbing of the
tide that creates interest in clothes.
which promotes trade. and keeps the
waters of fashion from becoming
stagnant.
mass. il would be easy for the trade
to lay down law regarding the exact
type of clothes that every woman
must wear Afterward they could
sleep. But the public refuses to be
led in this manner. No matter what
path it's feet are placed In. there
feet stray into other paths. sometimes
of their own choosing.
The French designers know full well
by this time what they will launch
for spring. But there is every evil
dence that they are not in fuli accord.
They want to sell clothes for millions
of francs, and when the desire to
please overreaches the desire to create
merely in the name of art and beauty.
there is, of necessity, tumble Of va
,, rious styles thrown on the market.
We all know the reason for French
uncertainty. 1t is no slight task. no
small financial outlay to prepare a
few thousand frocks for a handful of
foreign buyers. Failure to sell these
gowns results in vast business de-
preston in the industry of clothes.
The French women do not take with
seriousness the clothes designed for
| the American and English women:
| they do not even wear them when
their season begins. So it is often the
case that the dressmakers suffer great
loss. No wonder their gift of design
| ing is split asunder by their desire
| and need to make money on their
venture.
What is to be launched in Paris is
Still in doubt. In America the new
| spring styles are launched. The south
is the field Of exhibition. Palm Beach

NOTED SINGER WILL
COME TO PENSACOLA
Miss Evelyn Scotney of Metropolitan
Opera Company Is in Florida on
Concert Tour

The appearance in Pensacola on
Thursday evening, December 29th, at
the new high school auditorium, of
Miss EVELYN Scotney, of the Metropoli-
tan Opera company, of New York, will
prove one Of the most notable and
pleasant musical D ises. Probably
never in the history of operatic and
concert uplift in Pensacola has there
artistic as Miss Scotney.
Miss Scotney Is completing a short
tour of four concerts ending in South
Florida. whereupon she returns to re-
sumo her roles with the Metropolitan
Opera company Her appearance in
Pensacola comes as a result Of an ar
rangement by Mr.. Sidney p. Levy with
r. E. Johnson, the noted impressario,
OF New York city. Miss Scotney can
better be qualified as an artistic by
quoting the criticism of Mr. B, j. Fink,
the noted musical critic of the New
York Post, who said: "As a whole,
Miss Scotney equals Cali -Curci' The
entire New York press has paid this
young artistic myriads of praise. Two
seasons ago Miss Scotney sang such
roles as Lucia" and "Rigoletto" with
the late Caruso.
What makes the appearance of this
notable artistic the more interesting, is
that the entire proceeds of tho concert
will be devoted to the Old Wcman's
home. the Children's Home society and
the Jewish Benevolent society, three
of the most charitable charitable or

THRILLING NIGHT
SPENT BY MARINES
Lost in the Bay In Twelve Foot Boat and
Spend Wild Night.

Floating aimlessly along on the surface
of the bay in a twelve-foot boat and
being completely lost all during the night
was the thrilling experience OF four ma
rines of the naval station night before
last. Privates Lauderdale, Yonick, Sir,
and Bugler Moore, were the men who
figured in the incident.
They set out from the station about
O'Clock Saturday afternoon in a twelve
foot boat for hunting trip up the sound,
but heavy wind sprung up and the
boat was capsized near a small island
about seven miles from the station.
Finally the boat was righted, but dark
ness had fallen by this time and the
men had only their Instructor guess
work-to lead them to land. After ma
nuevering around until about midnight
the small craft struck upon point near
the quarantine station on the island
Two of the men, Yonick and Sir, footed
it around over the island until they came
upon the life saving station, and from
there they phoned to the air station for
a boat to come after them as it would
be folly to try and brave the then mad
waves of the bay in the little twelve-foot
craft. The boats arrived for the men,
and picked up Yonick and Sir. but the
party was unable to locate the other men
until about O'Clock yesterday afternoon
When the stranded men were found
they were faring very well excepting the
fact that they were terribly lacking in
something TO eat. After the party had
reached the naval station and had took
on some sustenance they were able to
tell of their experience, which was thrill
ing to say the least.

NAVY TO ACCEPT
LANDING FIELDS
Admiral Moffett States That Tracts
Offered BY City Are Very Good.

Admiral NJ onett SKATES NAT tracts
Offered BY City Are Very Good.
It is reported from Washington that
the government viii accept the landing
fields offered the United States navy
by a joint committee of the chamber
of Commerce, the Kiwanis and Rotary
clubs, on the occasion of the visit of
Admiral Moffett to Pensacola several
month ago.
At the time of the visit Of Captain
Muslin to Pensacola some months pre-
vious to the visit of Admiral Moffett,
the offer of these landing fields was
tentatively made, but no official action
was taken until the time of the visit of
Admiral Moffett to Pensacola, at which
time committee of business men
representing the three civic organiza-
lions, took Admiral Moffett for a visit
to several landing fields, one near
Goulding and the other to the west Of
the city, the use OF these fields being
rendered the navy.
In an interview with The Journal
Admiral Moffett stated that both of
these fields were very good, the only
criticism being that one of the fields
was possibly a little sandy.
1t was understood, after the return
of Admiral NIoffett, to Washington,
that Pensacola's offer of these landing
fields had been refused, but 1t is I'M
derstood that the offer has now been
accepted and that several officers who
are experts in the use of the land
planes are already in Pensacola.
Officers at the Pensacola naval air
station said last night that they were
not ready to give out any official
statement, but it is understood from
washington that the landing fields
have been accepted. Which means, OF
course, that Pensacola win be the point
Of concentration for both types of
plane.
On his visit to Pensacola Admiral
Moffett said that the department of
aeronautics of the navy had recon-
mended the use of both sea and land
planes. and the announcement of the
probable use of the landing fields
offered the navy some months ago viii
be received with interest.

BIRDS NESTS IN ODD PLACES
Remarkable soldness Shown by Many
Species When They Are Engaged
in Rearing Family.

Every year some fresh discovery Is
made by naturalists respecting the
curious habits of birds. The boldness
shown by even shy birds when domes-
tic duties are concerned is surprising.
Robins are especially noted for their
boidness, and q pair have been known
to build their nest and rear their
family on beam in school, entering
by the window which was left open.
Swallows seldom build in odd places,
but pair have been known to build
their nest against pane of window
glass. A swallows nest in funnel
is an exceptionally queer place for
bird Of this species to choose.
Wrens are very ingenious, and their
dome-shaped nests, which are so
beautifully woven, are often found in
old kettles and tins, and even in the
pockets Of old coats which have been
left hanging about. A hedge sparrow's
nest in kettle was found in bunch
of nettles close to a public footpath.
where school children passed every
day, but the faithful bird, with no
thought Of danger. reared a family
quite unmolested.

PARKSTON Is MECCA
OF CHURCH MEETINGS

81
AS a convention city Parkston is
certainly gaining recognition. Espe-
cially is this true among the ecclecias-
teal bodies of this state During The
past months this city has been host
to four different church conventions
and another is in session at present.
On Sunday, May 20, the German Con-
gregationalists of southern South Da-
kota held their annual Sunday school
convention. On Sunday, June 5, the
K. C.'s held their initiation and on
the following Sunday, June IL, the
Catholic Daughters of America held
their annual initiation. Both of these
orders draw their membership from
a territory which includes several
counties. Then came the German
Baptist convention of the Dakota
Baptists, which was held from June
to 10. At present the German Luth-
Grams of this state and portions of
Iowa and Minnesota are holding their
annual meeting here.

GIRL FROM RUSSIA
ARRIVES IN PARkSIQk'
Miss Roth, Unable to Speak
English, Makes Trip
Alone

After long Journey lasting five
weeks, Miss Anna Rath arrived in
this city from Russia on Sunday aft
ernoon and will make her home in
this country. She is a half-sister Of
Mrs. Samuel Doering who lives about
miles west Of this city.
Although less than 20 years old and
unable to speak the English Language,
Miss Rath made the long trip all
alone and arrived here safely.
\ Some months ago Mrs. Doering sent
some money to Russia for her sisters
passage. Miss Rath started on her
trip early In May and sent a telegram
from Bucharest to her sister. The
telegram was received here but as it
was sent in the Roumanian language
no one in Parkston was able to trans
late it so the translation of the
message was secured through the
telegraph company. It requested that
~ +
Mrs. Doering should meet her sister
in New York.
Unwilling to make the long and ex-
pensive trip, Mrs. Doering appealed
to the services of local bank. The
Hanover National banking concern
was asked to meet the lady as she
arrived and arrange for the continu-
ance of her journey.
The representative of the Hanover
National bank met Miss Rath at the
ship and through their efforts she did
not have to go through a lot Of red
tape. and was quickly admitted into
this country.

INDEPENDENCE DAY
TO BE CELEBRATED

On next Monday Will be celebrated
the 144th anniversary Of the Indepen-
dence of the United States Of America.
This date has for many years been a
day of celebrating and a day of
merrymaking. True to tradition there
will be celebrations here again this
year none. however in the city of
Parkston, but one will be held in
Joe Frederich's grove west of town.,
and the other at Island Park. The
latter will he by far the most im-
portant. Two ball games will be-
played, the first between Dimock and
Midtown at ! o'clock, and the other
between Freeman and and Ethan Eth at ;
o'clock.
A big pavilion dance with music
furnished by The Alexandra orches-
ira will compose the entertainment

Crop Prospects Good

At present. prospects for bumper
small grain crop are good. The
corn is also doing well but it is the
general verdict of the farmers that it
is at standstill and not growing at
present, and is badly in need of
rain. Farmers stated that the small.
grain might do we'll without rain but
that shower would not injure it at
all
Paul B. Naylor, an agricultural ex-
pert, who has been touring the state
says that crop prospects are good
nearly everywhere he has been, and
are particularly good in Yankton and
Turner counties.
News reached here the fore part of
the week that a severe hail storm
had rayaged a large strip of country
extending from Howard to Humbolt
The losses from it were very heavy,
mounting up into large sums OF
money.
On the average, however, ali looks
lwell at present and with little rain
the farmers will be safe.
