COLORED COLUMN
(By w. B. Chenault)

On friday evening, July 9TH,
the beautiful and impressive vii
lage of College Hill was the
scene of most beautiful and
inspiring ceremony. Six young
colored pupils, four from College
Hill school. one from Waco and
one from Union City, having
completed the common school
course of study and successfully
passing the examination by the
County Board of Education, re-
ceiVed theirIdiplomas in the pres
eEcef of a large crowd of people
in the beautiful Ooiored M. Z.
church, which was brilliantly
lighted and decorated with the
national colors, ferns and roses.
Miss Estella Yates, teacher at
College Hill, enjoys the honor of
sending OUT from her school four
of the six graduates and she de-
serves great credit not only for
her excellent work in the school
room, but for her untiring efforts
to arouse community interest
wherever she teaches. She was
mistress of ceremonies and was
assisted by Miss Hattie Turner,
who taught at Waco, and whose
school furnished one of the grad
yates. Prof. J. S. Hathaway,
principal of the Richmond Color
ed High School, delivered the
address to the graduates. His
address was full of food for
thought and was listened to by
both colored ard white citizens
who filled every seat and aisle in
the building and for nearly an
hour Prof. Hathaway held the
audience spell bound. Service"
was the central thought of his
fine address. H. A. Lame, the
veteran teacher and community
worker, delivered the diplomas to
the following young folks: Miss
es Matte Robinson, of Waco; j
Lora Mae Brock, Ethel Chenault,
and Gonzola Jackson, of College
Hill, and Masters Raymond Ha
good Jackson, of College Hill,
and Frank Scudder Brooks, of
Union City. These beautiful girls
and handsome boys, well dressed
and we'll behaved, made fine
impression and the papers they
read showed careful thought.
The program of the. evening
vas greatly strengthened by the
beautiful solos ofaMiss 5Beulaht

and Rev. w. M. Thomas, pastor

Quoted the devotional service.
Many Richmond people were
present and visitors from Lou
isvi1le and Indianapolis. Miss
Yates deserves great credit for
this rural school commencement
and we hope it is only the begin
ming of such impressive ceremo-

A popular conception of the reclama-

corporation functloning in many lines
of usefulness in 10 states. In other
words, 1t Is a business corporation
whose headquarters are at Washing
ton, d. c., where are located it's presi-
dent, the secretary Of the interior; Its
general manager. assistant general
manager, and legal adviser, the direc-
tor, the assistant director, and the
chief counsel; and its board of direc-
tors, the congress of the United States.
Branch offices of the corporation are
located on the 20 projects, with field
superintendent, the chief engineer, To-
Gated at Denver, Colo. Its stockhold-
ers are the water users on the projects.
The business of the corporation Is
changing desert wastes into inhabita-
BILE lands, bringing together the land
less man and manless land, and virtu-
ally creating a new state from the
standpoint of agricultural develop
ment.
At the present time the organization
is serving the most important needs OF
thousands of people.

From the Chiffon Ruffles to the Flat

And, invariably, along with the long,

Idea.
There is the frilled and plated or

cuff trimming. If you please but It is

Then there Is a circular cuff, 1aring

extending from the elbow away into
the world in careless lengths. lngenu-
ity goes long way in the using OF
ribbon for the beautifying of sleeves.
And 1t is possible for anyone to design
dress that will make use of some
valued bit Of ribbon to the glorification
of the whole gown. These old-fash-
Toned ideas are coming into general
usage again, especially with relation
to sleeves, for with che evident neces-
sity for making the sleeve pic
turesque quantity, all sorts Of modes
and manners must be employed In or
der to lift the modern sleeve out of
the class of the usual.
RuffIes of Soft Chiffon.
Another sleeve is made Of a series
full sleeve and one that, doubtless, Will
find great favor among the younger
girls still wanting to look their fluff
fest selves. At any rate, 1t is sleeve
that any mother will love to design for
her daughters party frock. 1t carries
with II so much Of charm and grace.
And 1t is evident that, with sleeve of
this fluffy character, not great deal
in the way of other trimming Is need
ed. There might be few ruffles to
match on the skirt, but more attrac-
tive idea would be to keep the frOck
very straight and plain and full, with
the low hanging bertha, and the Cir
die Of brightly colored ribbon roses.
Then let the ruffles on the sleeves In
their graduated widths count for
everything all by themselves. They
will be much more effective that way
and will have a chance, without inter-
ruption of design, to display the really
lovely lines which they establish for
the whole costume.
An interesting sleeve finish Is sug-
gested for dinner dress. The dress
itself Is one of those draped affairs
with the lines of the fabric made
gracefully to follow those of the figure
itself. Then shaped piece of silver
and gold brocade is arranged for
low-cut collar and over the arm Is
hung a strip of the same trimming to
make the armhole decoration. BY this
little trick, that sometimes ugly line
of the sleeveless gown Is done away
with altogether and the arm Is still
left to shine In uninterrupted splendor.
There are any number of adaptations
of this idea to be seen on the newer
gowns, and while the combination Of
black satin with sparkling silver trim
ming is one that has found much ia
vor, there are other color combina-
lions which can be worked out most
successfully in this way.
Among the Handsomer Gowns.
! White organdie and cream batiste,
combined with lace, have suddenly be-
come very popular among the hand
somer gowns for late summer wear.
This may be an indication, too, that
style Of this sort will carry over into
winter. But on the street and In all
the smart lunching places these days

DOUGHBOYS' WINE BILL
is 2S,OOO,OO0 MARKS
u. S. Forces on Rhine Drink
ISL 900 Bottles in Year.

Special Gable to THE NEW York HERALD.
Copyright, 1929, by THE New YoRK HERALD.

Berlin, Oct. 3.
Like a careful bartender with an ell
night crowd in his place Germany to-
day has cautiously figured up the wine
bill of the army OF occupation in the
i;hineland. But, unlike bartender,
Germany could not tell the boys to pay
up or get out under threat of calling
the police. Her only course is to keep
on serving something over $4,000. 600
marks worth OF wine every twelve
months until the customers are ready
20 go.
American members of the army Of oc-
cupaton got a share Of the consumption
from April, 1921. to March of this year
and drank about $4,000 bottles of wine
and 10000 bottles of German chain
pagne, for which they have wine
check totaling more than 10000 600
marks, TO say nothing of incidentals
like beer and stronger liquors.
The Government, which has checked
UP the stamps on all liquor drunk in
the area of occupation, is able to tell
to a quart how much was consumed as
the free wine tax and bills of the armies
come back TO the Treasury.
The report for the fiscal year shows
that 10000 men I'm the Rhineland drank
1880 $50 marks worth of still wines
and 1874 bottles of champagne, cost
ing about $1,000 900 marks. The French
army did not consume so much OF this,
on account of its wine rations. and the
British and Belgians have their own
canteens.
As a result the Germans hold that
$4,000 American soldiers were respon-
sible for the consumption of more than
one-sixth of this sea of wine. The re-
port says that querching the thirst OF
the armies OF occupation cost the Gov
ernment 20,000,000 marks in taxes. The
consumption OF beer being lighter. the
Treasury lost only 10000 marks in
taxes. The unpaid cigarette taxes
amounted TO 1000. 600 marks.
