 Prohibition Cases

COLUMBIANA, Ala, Aug. 5.-(Spe- cial. IA large docket faces the county court which opened its session in Col umbiana Monday before Judge l.. B. Riddle.

But, apart from its more or less universal appeal, for those of us who are not being reformed are trying to reform the others, it has a zip and go and pep that others lack.

 Romance isn't confined to fiction. In the past ten years, twenty, perhaps forty, novels have been written in which the scene of love and murder is laid in a deserted mansion on the Long Island shore. Most of us have refused to believe there are any deserted man. sions. Or at least any mansions that lack belligereht caretakers. But here's the proof that the fiction writers were right.
 One of the bootleg gangs made its headquarters at the genuine deserted mansion near Montauk Point. Fine old wine cellars harbored the illicit stuff. The bootleg boats landed along side the deserted dock. The smugglers slept in caves in, the nearby cliffs. It was raided in riot that sounded like the Battle of Prague.
 The bootleggers are a low order of criminal, of course. But they are do- ing wonders for our authentic Ameri- can literature.

FABRICS coLoRFUL; NOT BIZARRE OR CRUDE

Whether materials influence the
mode or whether fashion determines
the fabric is hard to say, observes a
writer in the Kansas City Star, but
there must be cooperation between
those who create the modes and those
who design and manufacture textiles
In order to achieve the perfect results
that are demanded by the fashionable
woman Of today.
It always seems as though the ma
teriais of a new season are lovelter
than those of previous ones. Each
year colors are more skillfully and
subtly blended, designs are more in
geniously executed and textiles more
1pple. This winter apparently Is to
witness decided vogue of velvet, and

Years ago way-station agent of a
railroad traversing the plains of the
Canadian Northwest, sent back home
for few packages of flower seed and

mean little one-room station. Sir
Thomas Shaughnessy, president Of
the road, was making tour of inspec-
ton and when he reached this little
garden spot in the then uncultivated
wastes, he asked to see the boy and
learned from him the story of his gar
den. AS a result, the next year all
the agents of this road-which
stretches from the Atlantic to the
Pacific-received packages of seeds
and instructions to plant flowers
around every station. The custom
then begun has ever since continued.

Fabric Glove Has
Milady's Approval
Pleasing Handcovering May
Be Had in Fancy and
Plain Modes.

The fabric glove has gained a new
prestige for the autumn, says a cor
respondent in the Christian Science
Monitor. 1t appears now in fancy as
well as plain modes and shows a
beauty OF texture and style that is
worthy of almost any street or after
noon costume.
Never before, say those who make
particular study of glove seasons,
has there been such an expert imita-
tlon OF French suede. Even the prices
OF suede gloves have been initiated,
you may say upon first inquiry. But
the new fabric gloves, while more ex-
penslve than ever, have an enviable
advantage-they can be washed in
soap and water. Furthermore, as a
second examination of them will show.
the material and workmanship COM
pine In giving far more refined effect
than past fabric creations have sug-
gested
They can be bought in the prevail
ing glove colors Of the season-gray
and beige, with the many intermediary
shades. 1t is the slightly decorative
types that are the most attractive, per-
haps, and certainly the more expen-
sive. A model in light beige, with
chocolate-brown stitching on the back
and narrow, turn-back cuff trimmed
with metal cloth has reason to be a
promising favorite. The colors are
unostentatious but effective. This is
one of the finer group and one is al
most tempted to doubt the saleswom-
ans explanation that the material is
not suede and rub an appraising fin
ger over 1t, to make sure.
Another true to type" model is an
all-gray glove. This has a scalloped
cuff edged with half-inch plating
of the same. The fabric is soft dark
shade Of gray, quite like the familiar
shade in suede gloves but proof
against many washings, according to
reputation. More ornate than either

Ne.U American Homes
ShorU Better Designs

1t is indeed gratifying to note the
tendency of architects and builders to
get away from the uninteresting, box
like houses, giving us instead homes
that at least have some semblance Of
architectural merit. While the public
has not yet entirely signified its full
appreciation Of good architecture, the
newer houses in both the cities and
suburban communities give evidence Of
a leaning toward better design.
American small house architecture
is steadily mounting to higher levels,
which marks a distinct achievement,
not only in the cultural life of the
people but in the finest qualities Of
citizenship.
Good architecture, like good exam
pies of any other art, is eternally good.
It is in no way dependent upon chang
ing fancies. The surface currents OF
public disapproval cannot long persist
against the truth that is inherent in
good architecture. There were periods
when types of Colonial architecture, if
not in public disfavor, were at least
disregarded, but because they meas
ured up to the best standard Of the art
they have always commanded the ap-
proval of the discerning and have
never been more strongly intrenched
In public favor than today.

Some Facts About Women in Business

Gently been issued by the federal bu-
reau of the census.
Increases occurred in the number
of women who were clerks In Offices,
stenographers and typists, bookkeep-
ers and cashiers, teachers, saleswcm
en-, telephone operators, trained nurses
and clerks in stores. Decreases oc-
Cured in the number recorded as farm
laborers, cooks, general servants, laun-
dresses dressmakers and seamstresses
(nOt in factory, and milliners and
millinery dealers.
The most striking increase shown
for women in any Industrial group is
that for operatives in automobile fac
tories, among whom there has been
an increase of LAOS per cent, while
men operatives in these factories in
creased only 1854 per cent.
Contrary to general impression, how
ever, women seem not to have gone
into absolutely new occupations to any
great extent. They have enlarged
their field of work, however, by enter
ing in greater numbers occupations in
which formerly they had but scant
representation.

rHE last decade has seen the
industrial problems of women
4 become more conspicuous than
ever before. During the World
war, when the necessity of replacing
the labor of men by that of women be-
came obvious, many adverse conditions
were met and endured, and women
achieved deserved recognition as pO-
tent factors in the industrial world.
Since that time has passed 1t seems
likely that women will, to some extent,
continue to pursue the occupations
which they then undertook; al any
rate, that they will not lose the recog-
milton gained during the war OF their
Importance to industry.
Their full Importance, however, can
not be known unless certain questions
are first answered: How many wom-
en- are at work in the United States
and in its territorial possessions?
Where do they work? What do they
do? Has their number increased or
decreased during the last few years?
The replies tc many of these questions
are to be found in several bulletins
on occupation statistics that have re-

Plant More Trees

Most cities and even some small
towns, especially new towns, are apt
to be pathetically treeless, and towns
do need trees more and more as their
population increases, Jane Leslie Kift
writes in the Detroit Free Press.
Have you ever thought about the
walls of the factories of your to wn?
They looked rather well in the Pen
nell war posters, but some hot June
day as you walk down a street skirted
on both sides by monotonous brick
walls don't they seem oppressive?
Don't you think that if the same walls
were blanketed with green they would
be more restful and more beautiful?

How to Use Radio and Not Abuse Ii

The Big Lesson-Developmen of
this new advance in our civilization
is a fresh evidence that the genius for
progress has not left the American
people, and that our citizens will con
duct their own business in a way best
calculated to promote public welfare
The Goal-The goal we desire to
reach is an opportunity for every one
to have access to radio communica'
ti0n without limitation. To secure
this, rules and regulations are neces'
sary. Otherwise there would be such
confusion that there would never be
any certainty of service.
His keynote was no government
control of radio programs, for shat he
declared, would not be consistent with
American institutions.
But there was peril of the transmits
sion Of malice and slander in using
this new medium-a double injury ''be-
cause those wronged can have no OPP
portunity to reply"
Diffusion of corrupting literature
was another possible peril; another
double peril, because while parents can
exclude corrupt printed matter from
the home the radio could carry it right
into the ears of the children.

go appropriately with dresses Of more
delicate materials.
Wrist-length gloves and short
sleeved dresses continue to be accept
able contraries among autumn fash
ions. Twelve-button gloves in French
suede, kid, and fabric will be very
popular this winter.
For the business woman, there are
new qualities and varieties of a glove
that was created for time-saving pur-
poses. 1t has three names-the slip
on, the pull-On and the Biarritz glove,
the last name coming from the French
town where the fabric is manufac-
tured. OF gauntlet length, without
snaps or straps, this glove has flare
sufficiently wide to take in medium
sized coat cuff and a wrist sufficiently
narrow to wrinkle not too loosely. The
slip-on glove is available in French
kid, suede, buckskin, doeskin and
chamOis, besides an inexpensive model
in fabric.
While the novelty gloves are called
for quite as frequently as ever, the
novelties, on the whole, are of less
conspicuous nature. A few elaborate
styles in better gloves for those who
prefer them can be bought at some
of the stores, and some of these, pro-
vided the costume and occasion war
rant, are very pleasing. Embroidered.

"At some of the points indicated it
