A Talking Contest
And Big Spelling Bee
The S. P. l. Sunday School Class Has
Unusually Interesting Meeting.

The S. P. |. Sunday school class
held their monthly meeting Tuesday
evening at the home of Mrs. John
Clark on Church street. The attend
ance was unusually large, about fifty
members being present The beautiful
chrysanthemums with which the home
was attractively decorated added to
the pleasure of the guests. After the
business session, presided over by Mrs.
Ed Brim, vice president, an appro-
pirate scripture lesson from the Tooth
Psalm was read and commented upon
by Mrs Brim. Then followed a pray
er by Mrs Susie Perry. The Misses
Allen, who were present, played sew
eral delightful selections on str1nged
instruments.
Mrs. Jones informed the guests that
she knew of two orphans who were
badly in need of a home, and suggest
ed that those present draw to see who
should adopt the unlucky children.
She made it plain that all were ex-
pected to help in the maintenance of
these two orphans. Mrs. c. A. Harris
drew the lucky number and the can
dy kids were entrusted to her care.
The next feature was a talking con-
test" in which Mesdames Glenn E.
Rainey and w. E. Monts tied Mes
danes !. R. Webb and Steve Cooke
were asked to choose sides for spell
ing bee Mrs. Jones gave out the
words from the cid Blue Back Speller
and soon had all the contestants seat
ed except Miss Ruby Wilkerson on
Mrs. Webb's side. AS a reward OF
merit Miss Wilkerson was given a
stick of candy. After the contests
were over a delicious salad course with
hot chocolate was served. Mesdames
Tohn Clark, Guy Chambliss, Kay and
Lawrence Norton and r. r. Jones
were hostesses.

M'AD00 IS AGAINST
WILSON'S PLANKS
IS EXPECTED TO OPPOSE THE
LEAGUE AS NATIONAL IS
SUE. LEADERS AT ODDS.

WASHINGTON, D. Cutter
ances of former President Wilson in
his Armistice day speech against a
policy of isolation, and by inference
in favor OF the league of nations, are
not likely to change the attitude of
the administration or of congress, &C
cording to opinions expressed by re-
publican leaders.
Few republican senator's were dis
posed to comment publicly on the Mt
terances of Mr. Wilson. Privately,
some of them expressed regret that
the issue had been stirred up and that
the former president had used bitter
language in reference to it.
Considerable democratic approval of
the speeches was expressed. 1t be-
came plain, however, that Mr.. Viii
sons renewal of the attack in behalf
of the league is viewed with appre-
henson by many democratic leaders
who are concerned over the course of
the next democratic national conven-
ton in regard to the league.
Party Division Over League.
1t is the understanding that Mr.
Wilson and the thick-and- thin Wilson
followers will insist on a strong league
of nations plank with support of the
world court A large number of dem
acratic leaders, on the other hand,
want either to ignore the league and
tread as lightly as possible on any
thing that savors of ENHANCEMENT in
Europe or to have a plank framed
which will commit their party i'll
vague and general fashion not to the
league, but to some league or associa-
ton of nations.
William G. McAdoo is one of the
democratic candidates who, it is said,
is opposed to injecting the league of
nations issue Any attempt to accent
uate it in the democratic platform will
cause a row in the democratic con-
vention. Already Senator Reed, Of
Missouri, one of the foremost demo-
Gratis of the senate, is out with blast
against the views expressed by Mr..
Wilson.
Glass to Fight for Plank.
Senator Carter Glass, of Virginia,
who spoke at the exercises at Mr..
Wilson's S street home, is one OF
those who is expected to make fight
nj the democratic convention for a
league of nations plank of the Will
sonian variety.

Briquets From Waste

IT is stated that the French rail-
roads alone lose 100000 tons OF
combustible product per annum, which
can. however. be readily made up into
briQuets or balls, and the fuel thus
obtained is quite as good as the usual
briQuets.
This product is no other than the
waste material that collects In the
smoke boxes of locomotives and its
heating power is no less than 1000
calories. Conditions during the war
with their resulting economy, led to
the use OF this substance, and it is
said that French manufacturers are
engaged in the purchase of the COM
bustible from the railroad companies
and are making biQuets by its use
A French patent was taken out for
the use Of this material. one point be.
ing that 1t Is neither coal (Which has
been now burned) nor coke, for 4,
results in fact from the distillation OF
coal.

and for such like. Do you know the
kind of dog that lasted longest and
did the most heroic things and
showed the most sense? Some say
the collie. Some say the airedale.
But the British war office kept
tabs. And 1 happened to read a copy
once 1t was the mongrel that did
best service at the front. He was
of the report at the town library
the dog that had all the best traits
of all the other breeds. And that
combination made him stanch and
loyal and wise and brave.
People get pedigreed dog for
a big price; and they pay a fortune
for him and they spend loads of
time and money in training him and
in humanizing him; to bring out all
the very best in him.
People get a mongrel for fifty
cents or for nothing. In this world
were apt to value a thing by the
amount it costs US. So they don't
bother to train a mongrel as they'd
train thoroughbred.
I'm spite of that, he often surprises
them by his cleverness. If they'd
take half the time and trouble to
train him as they train a purebred
he'd reward that time and trouble
fifty times over.

shown, it appears, was a signaling

a similar red screen to cut out the

of six miles. BY night a screen is
used that transmits only the ultra

Secret of Sevres Blue.

TOR long time it was believed
that the famous blue color given
to the porcelain manufactured at
Sevres, in France, was the result of a
secret process and there were many
legends in regard thereto. 1t has
been proved. however. that it is an
error to suppose that Sevres blue can
not be produced elsewhere. AS a
matter Of fact, 1t Is produced in many
French potteries where sufficient care
Is taken and where pure oxide Of CO.
bait Is employed. Formerly 1t was
difficult to procure this article free
from certain impurities that injured
the color; but chemical science has
overcome all the difficulties. The
same is true of the Chinese green
known as celedon. 1t was invented
in China, but it can be perfectly re-
produced elsewhere.

They get it, and they crawl under
