thirty-nine years, the fear and un-
certainty of the early pioneer and
pioneer days have passed away so
that now. under the strong, white
light Of intelligence, progress, enter
prise, industry and education are to
be seen on every hand. Thankful
also, that these very early pioneers
brought with them a deep and abid-

law, order, churches and schools,
without which no nation or state can
truly prosper or live long.
Il am especially thankful that

one since time began. Thankful,
too, that ! live in the United States

working out its mighty mission un-
der Gods approving eye, so that in
the end the highways Of life may be
opened and the gloom of centuries
dispclled.

big, strong nation of ours may soon
enter into the deliberations of the
World Court, thereby fastening that
long ghOped-for-d day and time when

life of St. Thomas has been commenced.
A magnificent cut glass decanter was
presented to Mrs. w. H. Williamson,
wife of the prominent fnapcier and bust
nessman Of Rochester, who has had an
active part in bringing about a reahza-
ton Of Mr.. Connolly S plans for the devel-
opment of the Virgin Islands.
Indeed, few, 100 few. Americans have
taken the interest in the commercial and
industrial possibilities Of these Islands as
have these two gentlemen. The benefits
that must surely accrue to US from the
systematic and intelligent advertisement
given by them to the Virgin Islands can
not be underestlmated,
The permanent exhibition Of Virgin
Islands products at Atlantic City, the
greatest popular resort Of the United
States. is now a fat accOmpli." No
more skepticism, no more doubts, no
more Authorizations as to what these Is
lands are good for. Tangible evidences
will be demonstrated at this permanent
exhibition. and the numerous visitors at
Atlantic City will learn something about
their newest" possessions.
The results that will surely follow the
visit of these distinguished friends Of the
Virgin Islands, can bear none but good
fruits for US. The interest awakened to
be followed by proper demonstration on
our part, can do naught but assist to
bring US out the depths of our Industrial
and commercial Indifference of today.
To estimate the debt of gratitude which
we owe to Mr.. John Connolly, and his in
fuential friends on the mainland, not
Oblivious of his companions on this visit,
Mr.. q Mrs. w. H. Williams, is far be
yond our powers of conception; for
Time will prove to the skeptic and the
critic that it is not. as they have seen
through their narrow vision; and that all
that was needed to make these islands
once more prosperous was 'Iiftinghand'
clear vision, an open mind, and the de-
sire to do. II will prove that the CO OPP
GRAFTON and confidence, SO much spoken
of, will be forthco ming when tangible
evidences OF results are evinced; it will
prove that rather than a ''Sque; zed Lem
on" an intelligent and industrious center
has been added to the numerous such
centres of the Marion.
We compliment Mr. John Connolly up
on his successful achievement we con.
graduate him upon his vision and sim
cere interest in US, put to the s%eVerest
test, perhaps. and found true; we pledge
our cooperation 10 so far as that is pos

PUT BEAUTY ABOVE

In All Ages Fashions La.O
Has Been Supreme.

Every once in a while somebody
says the nation is on the skids be-
cause women pass few hours week
Cor a monthly in IA beauty shop. That's
old stuff. SO old that the ancient
Greeks, if they could return, would
laugh about it. For, 1900 years ago,
Greek women passed large part of
the day improving their "Spartan-like
natural beauty" contributes L. p.
Eichel to Golfers Magazine.
Greek women, it is true, were home
women. Custom decreed that they
should have many home duties and
few opportunities to meet strange
men. They fixed up" nevertheless.
The rich Greek woman went farther
than the average wealthy American
woman. She had slave or two to
rub fragrant oils into her body follow
ing a bath. The hair was pomaded
and perhaps dyed, the face rouged,
the eyebrows were dyed with black
paint.
ly tried to stop the 'beautifying."
They told how unbecoming it was to
a civilized people to have black
streams pouring from the eyes, color
running down to the neck from the
cheeks and the hair becoming green
through contact with white lead on
the forehead.
France was represented as "going
to the dogs" in 1882 by MERCER, a
writer of that period
Mercier satirized false mustaches Of
fected by men, as well as pointed and
powdered wigs; and the curls in tiers
and the scent of essences and amber
powder on women.
The indignant writer asserted the
powder (flour) used in Paris in sim
gle day on 1000 heads would have
fed 10000 unfortunate persons"
At that time, he said, there were
1900 hairdressers under patent Of the
king in Paris, employing 5000 boy help
ers. In addition, there were 1900
chamberlains following the same oc-
cupation in the homes of the rich, ana
5000 lackeys with hardly any other
occupation" Besides, persons were
employed manufacturing hair papers.
curling irons and razors.
MERCER could see no other outcome
but the ruination of all of Europe, as
France was setting styles, and this
particular style took people away from
homes and business to barber shops.
And, worst of all according to Mer-
cier), the atmosphere of the barber
shops was one Of gossip, and-he whis.
pered-barbers and hairdressers were
O trace of liars"

Sir Thomas Upton, now in his 18th
year has not lost his love for yacht
ing and is prepared to challenge a.
gain for the Americas cup.
There is no truer sportsman than
Sir Thomas. He has always accorded
his acclaim to the best boat, and has
always showed the highest kind of
spirit in his many years of defeat.
He wants to try again; many would
like Sc him win; but equally as many
want to see the precious trophy re-
main on this side. The sturdy Briton
may think he has better boat now
than the Yankees can build but it is
we'll for him to remember that, "There
is many slip between the Cup and

is fighting hard to maintain its champ
ionship position. The GAPS" have had
some hard luck lately, and have had
it where it hurts the most-in their
pitching staff. Grey, who was going
like house afire, met with an acct
dent to his pitching hand. Heimach is
also on the hospital list land Graves
does not seem to be able to locate
the plate.
With all this, Connie has been able
to maintain his lead land he returned
from Western trip lately with a
road record not recently equalled.
Many sport writer's have been pre-
dieting that the Athletics would crack
under the strain, basing their opinion
on preceding years But with the re-
turn of the pitching talent to it's eff
fectiveness, it is going to be hard to
displace the present leaders, and they
have as good a chance as any to land
the bacon.
