NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Aug. s.
This town of $4,000 shipbuilders and
their families have got to be good.
The Sunday closing law is to be en-
forced to the letter. The leaders of
the Christian league have SO decreed.
A committee Of that organization
waited on the city manager, L. G.
Thorn, today. They presented the
report Of Investigators employed by
them. 1t showed that the drug stores
of the city were selling articles BAN
ned as luxuries under the Sunday
act. Among them was soft drinks
and tobacco.

on in tobacco. bottled drinks, milk
drinks and the like.
But what am to do? I can not
detail my policemen to stand in front
of the drug stores and keep watch to
see that such things do not occur.
Some Of them have to chase MUIR
derers and real criminals"
But the committee was far from
being satisfied. The members ex-
planned they were willing enough to
allow the sale Of newspapers and
medicines and to allow the restau-
rants to remain open on Sunday. But
they insisted that there be no fur

were not carried out something
would happen to the city manager.
The>chairman Of the committee in
sisted that bootlegging in cigars and
cigarettes and soda fountain drinks,
especially the so-called ''pick-me-
ups' was just as bad as bootlegging
in corn or the Scotch which flows
freely in this ocean front town.
This organization some months
ago, placed a ban on Buckroe beach,
very popular coast resort, original
ly settled by Captain John Smith, in
1907, because it had refused to ban
the one-piece bathing suit. But the
churches refused to heed the reform
ers and have held their usual picnics
there during the summer.

is in July and August that the num-
Der reaches it's height"
There was a very startling in
crease in the suicides after the war
but the number is swinging back to
normal. The serious problem Is the
young people who, are killing them
selves. OF $40 New Workers. who
killed themselves last year rs were
less than twenty years old, while
throughout the country 858 children
took their own lives and among
them were 112 more girls than boys.
The average age of the boys was
sixteen, and they generally used a
gun, while the girls averaged fifteen,
and used poison.
1.-THE growing total of women's
suicides is due, in my belief, to wom-
en- entering business life. They meet
with harder knocks than they per-
haps expected; they found them.
selves in strange field and often
they were not quite able to see the
battle through. AS women grow
more accustomed to the give-and-
take of commercial life, as well as Of
politics. naturally their present sui
cidal trend will diminish. Contrary
to popular theory, do not find that
love affairs are chief reason with
women. More loneliness, the all too
common lack of friends, is with
! women as with men usually strong
motive" ....... 49,. :.
Motives Peculiar
Some of the motives in the records
are at least peculiar. One man
could not stand neighbours piano;
another could not listen to his wife
and a neighbor talking. A third
quarreled because her husband
bought dress she had admired. A
man grew morose because his wife
would not kiss him on leaving in
the morning. A woman felt mo
man is good enough for me-" while
man could not find a suitable
wife" Another man quarreled with
his wife over name for their new
born baby. oa>
AS for DR.. Warren's methods of
changing would-be suicides pur-
pose:
Each case is different" he said.
"The great argument against the
deed is the sorrow it. will cause dear
ones. I do not find suicides usually
insane. They are amenable to rea-
son. The chief thing is to get them
to put the act off day. Once post
poned the desire usually leaves. And
as I said before, what most of the
people need simply is friend"

scarce and high, have known her
to weave silk fringe for use on
flowing sleeves and shoulder capes.
But I have strayed from the rug
subject. Anybody that can utilize
a big old-fashioned loom can weave
carpet rags into durable rugs.
OF course the improved variety of
looms is nicer, less trouble, ETC., but
they cost a good deal, and it's the
saving and not the spending which
helps the average farmer, and it is
the saving of odds and ends that
makes thrift. I'll admit it is a
whole lot easier toI go to a store and
get an outfit of rugs, If money is
plentiful, but there is also a whole
lot OF pleasure in working up the
odds and ends that would be thrown
away unless they were fashioned
into useful things.
In the ante-bellum days every
thing that could be made at home
was the rule. The big fortunes were
not made by speculation or trading.
They were the outcome of saving.

Homemade Rugs

A busy farmers wife, near the
Florida line, asks for some infor.
nation as to the making of rugs in
the rural homes. I am no expert
but have lived long time, and
have been seeing homemade carpets
ever since I can remember. My
dear mother was like the busy bee,
and improved each shining hour.
She taught me to sew together the
long strips that were to be. later
woven into homemade carpets;
about the first sewing I can recol-
1ect. She never lost the rug fever.
Among her unfinished tasks, I have
still an uncompleted rug, where she
knitted the long, slender strips with
big wooden needles. She knitted a
long piece, say five fet long, and
about twelve inches wide, in one
piece Three OF such pieces sewed
together on the wrong side, made a
serviceable rub for rough usage in
a. plain bedroom. She used some
system and tried to make squares
of stripes of contrasting colors.
She loved to knit even in her old
age, and she lacked only few
months of eighty-six when she went
to- her eternal home.

work.
