MANY GERMANS QUIT BATHING
Find Hot Water a Luxury Because
of the Shortage In Supply
of Coal.

Berlin.-The hot bath has become
such a luxury in Germany, owing to
the shortage of coal and the manner
in which the government regulates
the distribution of fuel, that many
persons have\ ceased bathing. Others
have gathered courage for an icy
sponge daily, but this is not popular,
for the houses are generally cold, and
exposure in cold rooms after a chilly
tub paves the way for colds and
pneumonia.
Ordinarily a family can afford hot
water once every two weeks. Public
baths, where once a plunge OF a tut
was available for a few pfennigs
have been forced to close or raise
prices beyond the reach of workmer
and salaried workers.

BRIDE IN DANCE OF DEATH
Young Lady Entertains Friends as
Poison She Had Taken
Ends Her Life.

Kalamazoo, Mich.-While the poison
she had swallowed slowly drove life
from her body, Mrs. Neva Fraser,
eighteen, a bride of a few weeks, per-
formed a veritable dance of death in
the midst of a party of guests.
She walked over to the photograph
and started playing IT'LL We Meet
Again." explaining it was the piece
played at the dance at which she met
her husband.
Her friends were ignorant of the
tragedy taking place when she began
dancing, but before the last strains
died away they saw her fall in a
crumpled heap.
Death sealed her lips before she
could explain her motive.

13 BALES OFF OF IL ACRES

Newberry, Oct. 90 There have
been many stories going the rounds
as to bad luck with cotton this year.
Some farmers claim to have made no
cotton at all while others say what
they did make was destroyed by the
boil weevil. One man, however, has
a happy story in connection with his
cotton this year. DR.. W. G. Houseal
of this city reports that he has pick
ed thirteen bales from twelve acres
on his land near Helena, suburb
of Mulberry. DR.. Houseal has small
piece of land at Helena, which he
has improved greatly during the past
few years. When he bought it the
land was almost worthless. It was on
this land that he made the thirteen
bales on twelve acres. DR.. Houseal
states that he had hoped to get two
bales to the acre and that but for
the boil weevil he would have gotten
that much or mere.

FURMAN ORGANIZES
INTO COUNTY CLUBS

Greenvil,e, Oct. 20.-Work of or
ganizing Furman University grad
yates and former students in South
Carolina. into county clubs is pro-
crossing rapidly under the leadership
of the alumni secretary, L. M.
Glenn, former newspaperman, who
relinquishel his duties as managing
editor of The Anderson Daily Mail
August 1st, last, to render this SER
vice to his alma mater.
EIn to the end of the first week in
october seven new county clubs had
been organized, all in the populous
Piedmont section of the state. These,
with the clubs previously in exist
ence IN Greenville, Spartanburg and
Florence, gives Furman ten such or
yanizations. The work of organizing
clubs in other counties of the state
will proceed rapidly and by the end
of November an organization of Fur
man men will exist in every county
of South Carolina.
The seven new clubs organized TO
date are in the following counties
Anderson, Pickens, Oconee, Union,
Laurens, Greenwood and Mccormick.
In each instance the clubs are Of
icered by the most prominent alumni
men who are a credit to the insti-
tuition and whose position lends pres
tige to the clubs. RI
All counties of the state will be
represented in the alumni organiza-
ton when the work of forming coun-
ty clubs is completed. At each eonn-
ty seat where clubs have been organ
lied Furman men have turned ous IN
large proportion and greatest en-
thusiasm has been manifested in the
forward movement on behalf of the
Baptist college for boys at Green
vile. In almost every instance the
county chapters have taken up some
definite program of work for alma
mater.
Plans are now being shaped up for
a great roundup and home coming
of Furman men during next COM
mencement.

$50, 900 LEFT BY WOMAN TO
RESCUE CATS OF WORLD

New York, Oct. 20.-Cats all over
the world will benefit from the $780,
900 obtained by the sale of the
Even Homestead here.
Miss Caroline Even, who occupies
the property for years with her two
sisters, had a passion for caring for
cats. It was her dream that every
cat should have plenty of catnip milk
and a comfortable backyard fence
to play on during every one of its
nine lives. She devoted her life to es-
tablishing sanitoriums and relief
organizations for stray cats, and
when she died, willed all her estate
save $500 for carrying on the work.
She cut off her two sisters in her
will because they were not sufficient
ly enthusiastic about cats.
The money for rescuing the cat
population of the world became
available when her nephew recently
settled his contest of her will out of
court.

morning. 1t was addressed personal
ly to the American ambassador, Ny

sador's secretary, Lawrence Norton,
carried it to the AMBASSADORS resi-
dence. Early in the evening, the am
bassador's valet, Blanchard, saw the
package on desk and following Gus
tom started to pen it. The removal
of the paper revealed small paste
board box such as might be used for
holding soap. Almost Immediately a
spring was released and as Blanchard
lifted the lid he heard familiar
noise which brought back the days
when he was a bomber in the British
army. He hurled the box through the
open bathroom door and ran from
the room. The bomb exploded in the
doorway two fragments hitting the
valet in the back. He was not seri-
ous!y injured.
The ambassador, his daughter-in-
law, Mrs. Parmely Herrick, and her
seven year old son were just at this
time ascending the stairway prepara-
tory to entering Mr.. Herrick's suite.
Blanchard came running out as the
ambassador reached the top.
"a bomb has exploded and l am
hit," the valet shouted. "Thank God
you weren't in the room."

Predicted That Business Men Will
"'E Wear Them Next Year.
Chicago, Oct. 20.-The more gen.
eral wearing of knickerbockers by
men next summer was forecast today
at the Fall exhibition Of the United
National Clothiers' Association.
The clethiers have decided that if
girls can wear the garments, men
can do so, too. Isaac Loeb, President
of the Standard Manufacturing Com
pany of New York and Erie, Pa, ex-
h;bited line of knickerbockers in
white duck, heavy crash and linen.
These are to be worn, he says, with
sport shoes, black stockings, and a
blue sports coat. They buckle at the
knee.
This is no mere fad for college
boys" said Mr.. Loeb. "Nor are the
'knickers' intended solely for golf.
Business men have begun to adopt
them, and by next Summer half the
men will be wearing them to work"
The old-fashioned suspenders are
said to be coming back into public
favor.
A $40 suit today, according to
several of the exhibitors, represents
the same value as a $50 suit a year
ago.
