! 81 Gtils' sewing clubs have proved
{ most popular In South Carolina the
pest yeer, as indicated by the large
number OF girls enrolled, There were
I648 sewing club members In the
13O clubs scattered over the state.
These girls are learning to choose
and care for their clothing as well
as to make practically all kinds of
garments for themselves and others.
In the State sewing contest, held last
year, first prizes were won by Win
ME Black, Of Barnwell county; The

This included the renovation OF
walls, floors and furniture, and the
addition Of attractive draperies, rugs

Better Poultry" and .''The Mar
keting OF Standard Products" have
been the two classes emphasized in
the poultry work this year. Enthu-
siastic interest has been manifested
on the part of both women and the
girls In their respective projects. 6
Progress has been shown by the
number of communities working
along certain definite lines for the
promotion Of the poultry industry.
One definite aim has been to intro
duce pure-bred stock into the farm
| mock, so as to put It on a paying
basis. The breeders Of the State have
gladly co-operated with us for tho
Improvement Of the farm flocks, and
as result many mongrel fiocks have
been disposed of and pure-bred flocks
have been introduced in their places.
Primarily, the object Of home dem
onstration work this year has been
TO enable the farm woman to become
resourceful In her home through us-
ing easily available materials. There
fore, In the food production and con-
servation work we focused on the
following products to Ibe standard

wild; fig preserves, because of the
abundance and popularity of tho
commodity; artichoke pickle, be-
cause OF easy culture and preference;
meat and vegetable stews. because of

In public assemblies and In battles.

WILL SELECT THE
PRIMARY HIGHWAY

Unless it SO desires it is not nee
essary for the state highway de-
partment to designate primary and
secondary routes at the time it lays
out the state highway system to
conform to the provisions of the
Phipps bill, according to members
Of the board and it is possible that
this action will not be taken for
several months in this state, says
the Reno Gazette.
It is necessary for the state to
place in the hands Of the bureau
of public roads its recommendation
for a state highway system for the
approval of the bureau but in Sc
lecting the primary and secondary
routes the state can wait for the
year if it wishes as it makes little
difference whether a highway is
called primary or secondary so far
as the work done is concerned, 1t
is pointed out by the states high
way officials.
In recent issue of the highway
bulletin, issued by the states de-
partment of highways, the popula-
ton served by four projected roads
is tabulated showing that the four
routes pass through counties con-
tanning 95 per cent of the states
population. Route No. One, which
is the northern route across the
state, passes through counties hav-
ing a population Of $4,000; route
No. Two, the Lincoln Highway
serves a county population of 16,-
O68; route No. Three, starting at
Reno and running south through
Carson and thence to Goldfield,
serves a county population OF 49,
118. Route No. Six serves a popu-
lation of 1859.

erltIsh Royal biographical Society
Said to Be Contemplating Am
bilious Expedition.

Enormous interest has been aroused
BY the announcement that the Royal
Geographical society contemplates 1T
ting out an expedition to attempt the
ascent Of Mount Everest, in the
Himalayas. For not only Ia this the
highest mountain on the globe; but 1t
Is alse the worlds mystery mountain
Although It was discovered 70 years
ago, no European has yet succeeded
In getting anywhere nearer than about
fifty miles to 1t, much less setting foot
on its slopes.
This is because 1t SO happens that II
Ii situated partly In Nepal and partly
In Tibet, and the governments Of both
these countries object to the presence
of European explorers.
Besides this the Nepal base Of the
giant mountain Is in any case prac-
tically unapproachable. owing TO the
dense jungle growth, extending for q
width Of go or 20 miles all round, and
into whose depths no white man may
venture and live.
The proposal now Is to attempt the
ascent from the Tibetan side. This Is
doubtless possible. but whether the
summit can be reached or not IL an
other matter.
Most experts say not, and point to
the fact that the duke Of Abruzzi's
attempt to scale Mount Godwin-Aus-
tin. Everest's mighty neighbor. and
the second highest peak In the world
resulted In failure.
He assembled as far 24.800 feet, but
was then obliged to turn back, owing
to the difficulty Of breathing, due to
the extreme rarefaction Of the air.

Literature Of the cxschs.

Czechic literature has voluminous
and impressive accomplishments to
show. Take, for example, Bohemia's
three great writer's of the nineteenth
century, Dobrovsky. Jungmann and
Palacky. Jungmann compiled a die
tionary Of the Czech language In Eve
volumes, Palacky wrote a work Of co.
600 pages on Csechic history, and Dob.
rovsky wrote a grammar Of Czechic.
The most indefatigable writer, how.
ever, was Jaroslhv vrchlicky. He
translated Dante's 'Divine Comedy"
Ariosto's "Orlando Furioso," Calderon,
"Faust," Walt Whitman, as well az
works from French, Hebrew, Yiddish
and Chinese. No one knows how he
found the time to do 1t. Among the
