Any woman can do perfectly gor-
geous tinting of dainty lingerie, etc,
if she knows this single rule: use
real dye. A tint is color, and true
colors require a true dye. You can
dilute it to any degree you like; no
matter how delicate the shade, dye
tinting is always even-never weak
or "washy."
Diamond dyes are used in cold
water, for all tinting; unless you
want the tint to be permanent, in
which case you merely have the
water hot So it isn't more trouble
to tint the right way-it is really
less trouble. And what a difference
in how the fabric looks, A whole
envelope of the real dye powder is
only fifteen cents at any druggists
See what you can do with task
for color cards and suggestions. Or,

agreed to do with the understanding that her duties of active service would end at the close of the spring term.
 Miss Hills presents remarkable character study. She is as alert and active as most people years younger and she has always above all things kept an interest in her former pu- pills. AS she remarked yesterday, she always felt that the schoolhouse was as much her home as the quiet home on Garden street. Forestville. where she resides with her sister.
 The passing of Miss Mills as prin- cipal of the Forestville school will create general feeling of regret, not only from her former pupils. but from the citizens of the entire com- munity. It is the sincere hope that her years of rest may be as fruit full and as many as the ones which were spent in educational affairs. not only in Forestville, but throughout the entire city.

ters, today were scattered far and near. Thirty-five or forty residents of a nearby plantation remained un- accounted for and approximately ten Negroes were reported to have been drowned in Melville proper. The population of the town was aroused early yesterday morning by the shrieks of two steam whistles from an Atchafalaya river steamer and an oil pumping plant. Mean- while levee guards ran through the town shouting "Crevasse, crevasse, get out"
 Flee In Night Clothes.
 Residents rushed in terror to en- bankments that still held. Many of them were attired in night clothes. Few saved personal possessions. Screams of women were heard on all sides,
 Some of the fleeing townspeople carried hand luggage or trunks. Others carted their possessions away in wheelbarrows. That property, which included countless odds and ends, finally was loaded on a train near Melville along with its own CTS. Some of the refugees wound up in Red Cross concentration cen ters, while others found lodging elsewhere.
 Hotel Washed Away.
 The thousands of tons of water that poured through an opening in a dike swept away much property. The Fletcher House. a small hotel, was lifted from Its foundation, turn ed over and deposited 300 yards away in a clump of trees.
 Large oaks and expresses near the broken place in the levee were uprooted and shot like chips of wood to distant territory Chickens created commotions. COWS munched grass and hogs rooted on the levee as the fleeing residents awaited their evacuation. Many other COWS, horses, mules. hogs and fowls were drowned.
 Melville. approximately 1co miles northwest of New Orleans, remained under from s to 10 feet Of water today.

VETERAN TEACHER
 DECIDES TO REST

the same year in Rockville. where she remained for one year. In 1877 she returned to her native town of
 Forestville to accept q position on
 the teaching staff of the one school
 in that town and there she has since remained. During all of those years she has been associated with
 Miss Fannie A. Greene, who this year will complete her fifty-second
 year in the school. having been en-
 gagged by the school authorities the year prior to the engagement of Miss Hills. The other teacher as- sociated with Miss Hills and Miss
 Greene at that time was Mrs. c. A.
 Reynolds.
 When Miss Hills first came to Forestville to teach there was a three room school house in use with an enrolment of 116 pupils. At the
 present time there are 560 pupils enrolled with a teaching staff of eighteen under the supervision of Miss Hills.
 Several years after Miss Hills be- came teacher it was found neces- sary to add two additional rooms and later Kindergarten. With the passage of years, however, this en- tire structure was replaced with large twelve room school house and later a second building containing a kindergarten and two class rooms was erected. The district at the present time is contemplating the erection of another school house in the southern section of the city, so rapid has been the increase in school enrolment in Forestville.
 When Miss Hills first came to the Forestville school the average pay for teachers in the city was about $500 a year. Tribute was paid to the ability of Miss Hills as far back as 1878 when Dr. Leverett Griggs, acting school visitor. in his annual report stated that Miss Hills, the new and successful teacher in the intermediate grade, has class in the rudiments of Latin." Such a thing had been unheard of before in the city schools. In 1879, Dr. Griggs again complimented Miss Hills in- directly when he incorporated in his report the following ''The four highest graded schools, 1. 3. 5. 13, are the bright lights in Bristol. Their influence is great and good through the entire community"
 Miss Hills at that time was prin- cipal of School District No. 13, having been appointed in 1896. In connection with her duties as prin- cipal she also taught two of the up- per classes until nine years ago, when she was relieved of those duties and placed in a strictly super vising capacity The only comment which Dr. Griggs found necessary to make in his report of 1880 was "The same instructors, the same judicious and faithful labor and the same happy results as in the years past. This and the other graded schools at the south side and the center are the glory of Bristol in the line of education."

As matter of actual fact the pro rata expenditures for health work in New Britain are extremely low when compared with many cities in the United States of equal size.
 "The superintendent of health feels particularly fortunate in hav- ing as his fellow workers a group who are loyal, efficient and coopera- tive. It is this spirit of loyalty and willingness that permits the de- partment to operate with maximum efficiency and miaimum cost"

MISS PAYSON, FATALIST In GOLF
BY O. R. KELLER.

n Y OW it appears that Miss
N Helen Payson of Portland,
| Maine, the new feminine
l. golf champion of the Do
minion of Canada, has fa-
talistic leanings in this curious
old game.
There was shot played by Miss
Payson in her extremely close
match with Miss Maureen Orcutt
in the Canadian championship on
which that event indubitably
turned, and which, for n matter OF
perhaps 80 seconds, seemed utterly
certain to retire Miss Payson from
the competition, before ever she
reached the final round.
Miss Payson, you should know,
is the tall, comely girl from Port
land who covers fluffy crest of
real blonde hair with a Basque cap
and takes her game very seriously.
She has been playing in mai jor and
minor colfing championships sew
eral wears and her game and com.
petitive powers have gained uni
formly, so that today she is to be
rated formidable competitor in
any field she enters.

which competed at Cherry Valley

tional, and plenty of good players,
including Miss Fritz Stifel Of West
Virginia, who in competitive golf
resembles the little girl of tradi'
ton, who had q curl, and at times
was extremely good and at others
not so good.
Well, as Miss Payson herself re.
lates this happening, ] gather that
she entertains more than modi-
cum of regard for the fatalistic
tendencies of championship golf.
1T always has been a sort of
secret and cherished lea with me-

might, but they really don't. The
various styles become the rage
after a famous golfer has been sue
cessful with one.
One thing you must have is q
blade long enough to permit you TO
easily place it at right angles to
the line of the putt.
The best way TO find out if the
putter you prefer is fitted to your
own needs is to see if its bottom
rests fiat on the ground when you
have taken your stance. IL your
stance places your eyes over the
ball and the line of the putt, as it
does with most good putters. hohl
the club in place and then slowly
release your grip. II the shaft falls
forward a mite or backward toward
you. you may be certain that this
putter is not correctly balanced for
your own games. Find one that
rests fiat on the ground and your
putting is on fair way to improve.
Use the type of putter that your
"hunch" convinces you is the best.
The next subject will be follow
ing through on the putt.
