Short Fur Coats are
Continuing in Vogue

The short little fur coats which r@-
ceived initial recognition during tho

spring and then. considering the fact
that these jackets can be worn open,
they recommend themselves largely to
the woman who likes TO have q coat
last her through more than one sea-
son. They have been called four-sea-
son coats, because, literally, they can
serve every ordinary purpose through
spring, summer, autumn and winter.
At this rate an investment In one OF
the pretty little fuzzy coats viii repay
the expenditure In no time, for II n
possible to concentrate the expendi-
ture for four separate coats into the

He asked the convention to join
in singing that good old Methodist

was done ne stated he would not be
able to preside at all times owing to
his physical condition and said that
the Vice-president at large, Rev. W.

NOISE IS NOT PATRIOTISM

Fourth Of July this year should be
a safe and sane and thoroughly pa
triotic observance of independence
Day. The old-time riot of noise,
death, FIRE and destruction, which was
supposed to show patriotism, would
be very r1uch out Of place under
present conditions. The. country has
had enough of powder-burning,
bombs. and the maimings and burn
ings which were inevitable with the
old-tine celebration. They were dis
continued during theGwar. and they
should be given up forever.
The Sane Fourth movement has
made remarkable progress in the past
few years, and this year should see
the end of the old absurdity of cele-
brating the nations birthday with
pistols and crackers, with their inevi-
table accompaniment of racing ambu-
lances and changing fire engines. The
deaths from Fourth Of July casualties,
which were 400 in 1908, had been re-
duced by 1922 to 20. while the injuries,
which were 1888 in the first year, fell
last year to go. Formerly the fire.
men expected to be kept on the jump
all day on the Fourth, but for several
years, in Chicago and many other
cities where fireworks have been pro-
hibited, the number Of alarms has
actually been below the daily aver
age. Make the Fourth Of July a Fes-
tival of Liberty, and not a saturnalia
Of death, noise and destruction.

cause we had to beat it over the noun
tain, up and down, over and across
and Grand Master Davis wanted to
be in position to control that horse.
About six o'clock found us in front
of the Roanoke Baptist church in Hot
Springs. ! did not see the pastor, the
Rev. DR.. Joseph 7. Hill, but ! did see
Deacon w. H. Falconer and Deacon
John l. Webb. They got their heads
together and it was agreed that /
should hob mob at the home Of Deacon
Webb. I am sure you will remember
Deacon Webb, because he is the Su-
preme Custodian of the Woodmen oil
Union, deacon of Roanoke Baptist
Church and Superintendent Of the Sun
day School and chairman Of the
Trustee Board in fact he IS some
pumpkins in town, and / am told that
he is a 33rd degree Mason, he is an
architect. Deacon Falconer trans
ferred me from the Davis hauling to
his totin and landed me at the pal
atial home of Deacon Webb. Mrs.
Webb received me like she was recew-
ing brother, told me to be at home
and had made up my mind that i
was going to do that anyhow, went
to bed early at night, slept like a log,
dreamed about pumpkins, water
melons, black berries and june bugs.
When you get so near the hot place
you need not be surprised at any
kind of dreams for I'm heaven bound
myself and there's where I'm going.
The devil may be mad, but / am glad
for this is one soul he'll miss that he
thought he had.
There was nothing doing in the con-
vention until Tuesday night, then it
was that the meeting was held, in the
city auditorium and believe me, honey,
there were big doings that night il
never again. Addresses OF welcome
and only two OF them; one by SUI
preme Custodian John L. Webb, who
represented all of our people, church
and otherwise and the other by Hon.
Walter Ebel, who represented the gov
ernor of Arkansas, the mayor of Hot
Springs and all the other white folks.
These were high class addresses,
brotherly and to the point ! tell you
there was some hand clapping and
other demonstration.
The addresses were responded to by
Rev. S. d. Ross of Savannah, Ga,
who walked the dog, gotioff, the pup
py's tail and / really believe he shook
the shimmy. He took advantage of
the opportunity, like SO many Of our
men when white man addresses US,
to tell all of the races ills, complaints
and pour out their grievances. AS to
whether this is right or wrong, / am
not here to say but / often wondered
how we would feel if we addressed a
white man and when we got thru he
poured out all Of his complaints. 1t
strikes me that I would never 60 back
to talk to another white audience. but
since we were talking to the white
man he must only sit up and look
wise and come back to US again.
