$50 Smokers Arrested
in Subways During 1921

IT HE campaign carried on by
the sanitary squad OF the
Health Department against
smoking in the subways resulted in
$50 arrests for that offense during
1921. The city treasury. through
the cooperation of the police mag
istrates before whom the smokers
were arraigned, was enriched 1928.
Cf the prisoners sos paid fines to
make amends for their offense,
while two others. who were not able
to pay fines, were committed to Jail.
Sentence was suspended in forty
six cases.
Smoking in the subway consti-
tutes violation Of section ZIG OF
the Sanitary Code.

produced in the new sports
fashions for the Southland.
Also in soft silk crepe frocks,
for this canary yellow is Won
derful color.
Speaking of sports fashions
reminds me to say that you will
find the collection of Paris
made knitted suits, frocks,
capes, skirts and jaquettes de-
cidedly unique-in styles, col
ors and prices. Some one said
the other day that one Of these
knitted suits which is here at
$50 was seen in another shop
at $95. This is easily explained
because the entire Wanamaker
collection was made by the
originator of these costumes in
Paris. They were not bought
from a commissionnaire or i'm
porter.
There are also lingerie and
silk crepe frocks-hand-made,
of course-from Paris. The
organdie frocks in mauve and
canary yellow are especially
charming.
Ldces hare again received the
favor of Paris. But Paris has
found new and more beautiful
ways for using them. For some
The New York herald., 1922-01-20

frocks Paris has dyed soft silk
lace to match the silk crepe in
the dresses, whether it is flame
color, yellow, mauve or another
alluring shade. For others,
Paris makes narrow black
Valenciennes lace the only
trimming on a brightly hued
Georgette dance frock for Miss
Ia to 20.
BIouses are certain to haze q
neU vogue, because they, too
are so different. Their chic
and newness is in the waistline,
which is far down about the
hips just where Madame
Renee placed it. And New York
will recall that it was the
Wanamaker Store that intro
duced Madame Renee's blouse
to America. That was several
months ago. Now, every one is
talking about this new and
very different type of blouse.
However, the Wanamaker Fash
ion Salons shall continue to
feature Madam Renee's blouse
and to introduce new interpreta-
tions Of it, because it is practi-
cal as well as smart.
SWedters haze taken on ne1O
life, too. Some of them are en-
broidered all over-think of it
They are stunning.

season (and which we imported
and reproduced at a fraction of
the original cost) is the type Of

as good be out of the
world as out of the fashion"
i repeat it, because it so
perfectly explains my state
of mind at the present time.
Why?
Because in the trunks
which left the Wanamaker
Paris Bureau on the morn
ing of Saturday, January
the seventh, shipped via the
S. S. paris" and which ar
rived in the Wanamaker
Coin de Paris in New York
on the afternoon of the
seventeenth, there were a
number of the frocks which
the Parisiennes are wearing
now-at this moment!
l am completely capti-
vated by a brick red frock
made of Rodier's won
derful Kasha cloth-in the
most simple Of styles. The
The New York herald., 1922-01-20

couturier calls it "Sim-
pIette." l feel that this
brick red frock is my dress
-exactly-and there is not
a wee tuck in the bodice or
in the border that does not
give me joy!
Packed in the trunks also
were the first hats which
Maria Guy, Lucie Hamar
and Monsieur Lewis have
created for Spring. I can
not tell you about them for
every one is so new and so
different.
Now, the point of this
story is: Paris fashions come
to WdnGmaker's as soon as they
are created.
And the result of this is: that
there is a Paris-inspired dress
"a perfect dress-and a hat
for every woman and young
woman in the Wanamaker
Fashion Salons every day. And
it is here at a price to meet
even moderate incomes.
The illustrative silhouettes
shown on this page give but a
glimpse of the almost endless
number of new fashions now on
view. And, by the way, speak
ing of silhouettes, it really is to
be season of silhouettes, be-
cause Paris has done such won
derful things with the lines of
her costumes.
1t is to be q season of colors,
too! Beautiful colors-new col
ors! Zone of the things most
noticeable is almost the aban-
don of black"-writes the
Wanamaker Paris fashion rep
resentative. A visit to the
Fashion Salons here gives this
impression, too!
The lovely tone of canary
yellow which the couturiers
introduced at Deauville is re-
The New York herald., 1922-01-20

All of these fashions will fail
in their purpose for you if your
FIGURE is not correct. Your
silhouette must be moulded
properly, and it must be supple
and to accomplish this (un-
less you have a young girls
figure) you must have the right
corset. Yes, Paris is again
wearing corsets. 1t may be a
mere girdle of elastic or silk,
or a topless corset with few
bones, or a corset to be worn
with a brassiere.
The Wanamaker Corset Shop
has Paris-made and Paris-in-
spired corsets to meet the re-
quirements of every woman.

white lightning" still. This booty
he placed in the county jail at Bran

UTICA INSTITUTE
FOR NEGROES TO
OPEN SEPT. BOTH

The Utica Normal and Industrial
Institute will open it's doors on Sep
tember Both for the nineteenth an
nual session.
This school is located five miles
midst of it's own plantation of l 900
acres.
VIM. III. HoltZclaw, principal and
founder of the Institute, is gradute
of the Tuskegee Institute in Ala.
In speaking of HOltzclaw and his
work, Booker L. Washington, who
was principal and founder of the
Tuskegee Institute, said: Il do not
know of a single graduate of Tus-
kegee who has more completely
carried out in his life the spirit
which the school sought to instill in
it's students, nor do / know one who
is doing more useful or more sue
ceSSful work for his race and for the
community in which he lives"
Twenty eight industries are taught
to negro boys and girls, The boys
are learning to use arithmetic, but
are also learning to plow and plant.
The girls are learning to read and
write, Out are also ledfuluS 10 WOfk
and sew. Every student must have
trade and complete it before re-
ceiving a diploma.
The work of this institution is
praiseworthy and is being fOstered
by the leading white men of the
State The Board of Trustees is
composed of some of the leading
whites of the South. The co-opera-
tion of these white men has done
much in helping to cement better
relations between the races.
Starting nineteen years ago in the
open air with few pupils, HoltZ-
claw has succeeded in founding one
of the best schools in America for
negroes, of it's kind. Today this
school has at the present standing,
thirty odd teachers, five hundred
students, and a property valuation
Of $15O,O0O.O0. 1t has kept in mind
the saying of Booker T. Washington !:
Eve shall prosper in proportion as
we learn to dignity and glorify and
put brains and skill into the common
occupations of life
People who have money to burn
seldom carry matches

STAR CONSOLIDATED SCHOOL

The opening of the Star School,
Monday, September 18th, is an Incl
dent that the citizens of this place
will not soon forget. AS the new
school building has not been complet-
ed, the opening exercises were held
in the Baptist Church. By nine o.
clock the house was filled with pu-
pills, patrons, teachers, and visitors.
Prof. J. /. Dabbs made the open
ing address. He introduced and high
ly recommended the lady teachers
who are to be his CO. workers in the
school. He assured the patrons and
trustees that with their cooperation
and assistance, the school would be
one that the people of Star would
be proud Of He then introduced
Prof. T. r. Phillips of Florence, who
in a short speech assured the people
of his sympathy and best wishes fol-
the school,.
Other short speeches were made
by Mr.. III. S. Garrett, president OF
the School Board of Trustees. Miss
Howard the primary teacher, DIR
G. w. Barlow and Prof. Muse
The teachers and pupils are now
working under a great handicap, as
they are having to use the Methodist
and Baptist churches aLd the old
school house until the new building
is completed
We hope that in few weeks we
can go into the large new building
and make the school season of 1922
23 the greatest in the history o1

FARMERS ARE
NOW BRINGING
COTTON TO TOWN

Although the cotton crop is ex-
tremely short this year, due to the
work of the boil weevil, there. are
being brought to Brandon every day
several bales.
The weather is now quite favor
able to picking and hands are plen-
tiful to do the work.
The general price of the cotton
is from 20 to p cents per pound
: The pecan crop of this county,
which has been threatened all sum
mer by web worms, is now almost
entirely destroyed.
The persimmon crop, too, has
been partly destroyed. Not. only are
the webs in pecan and persimmon
trees, but the worms have got into
many different kinds of trees.
They should be destroyed as soon
as found, in order that they may
do no more damage than they al
ready have.

COUNTY AGENTS NOTES

During this week we have had
three schools to join the list for COM
munity fairs to be put over this fall
Monday we visited the Leesburg
school opening with Sup. Barksdale
and found the teachers and school
interests ready to begin organizing
for the exhibits either as COM
munity project or in cooperation
with the other schools of that part
of the county in geat fair to be
held at the place decided on by those
interested. With the teachers back
ing these features of their communi-
ty work and the people solidly be-
hind them we feel that we are going
to have something worth while.
Tuesday night we attended a
meeting at the Cross Roads consoll-
, dated school where large crowd
gathered, mostly farmers, at this
meeting we talked over the advan-
tages of organized effort in COM
munity; and cooperative methods
of buying and selling farm products.
The crowd went on record as favor
ing a community fair this fall and
organized by electing Mr.. Geo. s..
Ware president; Prof. overly Vice
Pres. and Miss Martin Secretary,
another meeting is to be held at the
school house next Saturday night,
when committees will be elected, or
appointed to carry out local coop
eratiye association for their mutual
| interests. In this way they will be
in position to do things as a body
| instead of as single individuals: in
stead of one horse teams they will
use fifty horse power machinery In
their farm operations.
In the Pelahatchie neighbOrhOOd
they are in favor of putting on a fair
and will have a meeting soon to work
out the details of such a project.
With these several school COM
| munities working towards a definite
purpose we feel sure the farmers
are going to see the advantages OF
getting together In other work. the
boys and girls will see the possib1li-
! ties of our soil and will have dif-
| ferent feeling towards farm life.
| II you haven't already started Q
similar piece of work in your com
munity, get busy, the time is limited.
We are with you on any good move
ment. What is good for the farmer
is good for the business and profess
| sional men.
Your county agent vii be glad to
| hear from you at any time and rem
der any possible assistance.

County Agent.

Suggests Plan
TOGrQDeL Le
TrQDeLed p I'd

There has been a large ap-
preparation made by state
and federal authorities to
gravel the stretch of road
between Jackson and Pela-
hatchie.
In due time contractors
begin work and soon we will
have one Of the prettiest
stretches of graveled road
to be found in any part OF
the state.
But what of the many
other roads in the county
the feeders for the main
highway? No one will deny
the fact that these roads are
in a deplorable condition. In
dry weather the dust and
sand-in wet weather slip
perry clay-makes these
roads almost impossible.
The Brandon News offers
as a suggestion that the va
rious communities, assisted
by the farmers, arrange
some kind of a working
agreement whereby gravel
may be hauled by those
owning teams free of
charge.
Let each community take care of
it's own stretch of road. There Is
plenty of gravel in all parts OF the
county that is good enough to stand
upon the less frequented roads, and
a few weeks or real work will put
most any stretch of road i'll good
shape.
This plan is being put into effect
in other states where there are not
funds available to have contractors
do the work. Let some strong man
take the lead in this movement for
the free graveling of roads and it
won't be long before every mile OF
road in the county will be put in
good shape.
OF course it must be a community
effort. All residents living on a
certain stretch of road must pitch
in and work The small merchant,
the planter, everyone. There are
any number of business men in the
county who are letting the big mail
order houses get the bulk of the
business in their community solely
because the roads are impossible.
The farmer will benefit immeasur-
ably, and it is a hundred to one
proposition that the farmer will be
more than willing to furnish teams
and help in this good roads move
ment.
The Brandon News would like to
hear from anyone on this subject.
Write us your views.
