amazing sight downtown. About ev-

and she carried 1t in front of her

stood waiting for car.
"It's a millinery SALE" replied a

Now they are afraid they'll get their
bargains wet, and holding them up to
their chests like that Is the only way
they are sure Of keeping them directly

Long Period Of Mourning.

Mourning fashions in some Of the
foreign quarters go to lengths that to
the average American seem unreason-
able. For instance, in the Sicilian
quarters, when the father of family
dies, his wife and daughters are ex-
pected to dress in mourning indefln-.
itely. No matter how young a girl Is,
she is expected to wear dead black all
through her girlhOOd until she Is en-
gagged to be married. OF course, the
rule Is not closely observed, but mol
girl breaks 1t, even with the consent
Of her mother, without coming In for
some criticism. Three years of wear
ing mourning are quite usual.--New
York Sun.

A Sound Military Policy for the First Time in
Our National History
By GENERAL JOHN PERsHIN in Scientific American Magazine

The history of American wars is one of gallant
deeds on the part of our officers and men, but it also
of hasty and extemporized organization. This
has always led to undue loss of life and heavy financial
burdens.
Our success in our early wars was due more to the
weakness of enemies and to the fact that they had
military engagements elsewhere than to wise prepare
tons superior training on the part of our own
forces or leaders We have always relied upon our
traditional citizen army but congress heretofore has

FIRST LLs 'sLA||0N
 OF CONFERENCE IS
 PASSED YESTERDAY
Provides That Local w. M. u. Presidents Become Mem- bers of the Quarterly
 Conference

Hot Springs, Ark. May 6.-The first legislation enacted at this ses- sion of the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church. south. was that adopted today when the conference declared that the presi- dent of the Womans Missionary so- ctety in the local churches becomes a member of the quarterly confer ence of the church. The memorial came from the various conferences and from the woman's missionary council.
 The church also went on record as strong against educational fea- lures. as qualifications for ministers since a bill providing that every applicant for admission trial must have spent at least two years in a al was reported adversely by the committee on revivals and the con ference was almost unanimous In its rejection of the question.
 For years the educational leaders have been striving to raise the edu- cational standards of the ministry. The law now In force prescribes a high school training for preachers, but the provision is practically null flied by means Of which two thirds vote may admit candidate who cannot meet these academic re- quirements.
 The request of certain members from Texas to remove the prohibi- tion against tobacco by young preachers was not prmitted by the general conference. The committee reported adversely on the proposal and it was defeated by a wholesome majority.
 Other Rejected Items
 Other items which were rejected as proposed were:
 To prohibit district conferences from fixing the salaries of presiding elders on percentage basis and force them to specify fixed sum;
 To fequire churches to pay the moving expenses of the pastors;
 To abolish the ad interim commit tee of the district conference which may license persons to preach;
 To name commission to study the matter of the pastors salary with view of fixing the minimum for married and unmarried preach CTS.
 One of the big conflicts of the coming week will be the matter of the disbursal of the funds re- maining from the activities of the War Work commission. This com mission has several hundred thous- and dollars unspent. and the amount will be increased from the centeni- ary collections. The war work com mission has made no report but is in favor of spending the money to erect churches or dormitories in connec- tion with the various state universi- ties. This program seems likely to be challenged by the committee on education which will insist that a part of the money be used for churches or dormitories in connec- ton with certain colleges of the church. At present most every school and college of the church is forced to turn away students be- cause of inadequate dormitories. the report being that six thousand such students were denied admission to Methodist schools last year.
