Call lie for Two Jackets.
Two jackets with one frock are
more economical than one. The best
way to prove it is to try out the ex-
pertinent. That is, with your print
costume which has matching jacket,
buy a second jacket of transparent
velvet either black, or in navy, or
brown, as best harmonizes or con-

more formal afternoon lowered chif-

graceful manner imaginable.
Another interesting development Of
the two-jacket movement is that of
the monotone pastel sports ensembles
which in addition to the jacket of
matching crepe boasts one also of
velvet.

Georgia Sets Record
In Reducing nliteracy
Prom che Savannah MorninE News.

From the Savannah Morning News.
Georgia is getting some mighty good
publicity out Of the report of the Ma
tional Advisory Committee on Illiteracy,
the opening sentence of which is this:
Georgia should be proud of her notable
reduction in illiteracy during the past
decade" The report goes on to say
that Of the 20 States for which figures
are now available, Georgia heads the
list in progress in reducing the number
of its citizens who cannot read and
write.
That the task Is not complete in this
State every one knows, but such prog
ress has been made, and such momen-
tum in the good work acquired, that
Georgia ought to make a similar record
In the next decade to that which is
revealed for the last decade in the CEN
SuS figures.
Illiteracy Is an economic disease: It
bites into the fabric of modern life,
takes daily toll of efficiency, helps to
cut down all Of the indiceS which tell
of progress. An illiterate people will
have smaller per capita earnings,
smaller per capita savings, smaller per
capita wealth, less ambition to succeed,
less opportunity for success. So, when
Georgia shows that it is doing the best
work so far reported in the whole coun-
try it has a right to feel that it is do
ing something for not only those whom
it teaches to read and write, but for its
whole people.

Let one say what he will in favor
OF being on ones guard, 1t Is sorry
way Of life, after all. The whole edort
Of civilization Is to reduce the hours
during which mankind must be on the
Waterman, what of the night, In

Better Is It to be a bit craven, per-
haps, than to spend ones entire time
tending with elemental principles.
It were better to put all ones eggs

hours of ease forgetfulnesS may doml'
nate the scene of man, but wnen tne
sound of eggs comes crashing down the
street old habits are unrooted and run

proper places.
This business of eggs and their bas'

and no one can be blamed who decide:

It in the end.
Those who have experienced the fra

Intangible things which the sageS o.

These. such as faith and loyalty, are
the truth Of being, and in them the

When Goo at nrSC mace man,

we can;
Let the worlds riches, which dispersed
lie,

So strength first made a way,

When almost all was out, God made a
stay,
Perceiving that, alone of all His treas
Rest in the bottom lay.
For If I should" said He,
"Bestow this jewel also on My creature
He would adore My gifts instead of Me
And rest in Nature, not the God OF
Nature:
| So both should losers be.
"Yet let him keep the rest,
But keep them with repining restless
ness:
Let him be rich and weary, that at
least,
If goodness lead him not, yet WEAKNESS
May toss him to My breast"
