TAMPA, Fla, August 29.-The death
here last night OF Francis NJ Bellamy,
rs, author Of the Pledge to the Flag,
used in patriotic exercises the country
over for nearly half a century, brought
to light today the details of It's origin
They were told by his wife
A little group of men, who in 1891
believed the flame of patriotism was
dying out because of momentous de-
Velopments in industrial and political
circles, sought to fan the spark into
new life, she explained Their efforts
resulted in President Benjamin Harri-
son proclaiming October IL, 1892, as
the first national holiday in honor of
the discovery of America. Delegated to
write proclamation as part of the
original ceremony. Bellamy produced
23-word pledge that stood the test of
time.
Leaders in Movement.
Chief among the leaders Of the
movement" said Mrs Bellamy were
President Harrison, James B. Upham,
publisher; William T. Harris, Federal
commissioner of education, and Mr..
Bellamy, member Of the editorial
staff of the Youths Companion
Mr.. Upham conceived the idea of
a revival of patriotism at a time when
material things occupied the attention
OF most people. His first plan was to
place an American flag over every
school house. AS a result, 25,009 flags
waved on as many school buildings.
The movement did not stop there
The Chicago Columbian Exposition vas
conceived, built and dedicated as a
monument on the anniversary Of Co.
lumbus' landing. Still the patriots were
not satisfied. They said the exposition
was devoted solely to industries. The
big ideal was lost sight of, they be-
heved. They wanted TO bring patriot
ism to the people in a way that would
never be forgotten.
Then the suggestion was adopted
for a national holiday. Committees
were formed public men were inter-
viewed. This handful of men virtually
consecrated their lives u the task of
securing governmental recognition of
Columbus day.
Amused by Mistake.
mfr. Bellamy saw Congressman, Sen
ators and others in the public eye. He
interviewed President Harrison, and
Grover Cleveland, among others. Be-
cause OF his enthusiasm, he forgot par
lamentary rules in asking the Presi-
dent to proclaim October IL a national
holiday. He often laughed at the cha
grin expressed by Henry Cabot Lodge,
his companion on that visit to the Pres
ident, when my husband made his mis-
take. The President explained that
such thing was impossible without
congressional sanction.
That didn't stop the campaign. Mr..
Bellamy aroused interest among Con-
gressmen by inducing them to give in
terviews indorsing the project to news
papers. 1t wasn't long before Senate
and House passed a joint resolution
giving the President authority to pro-

Sleeves Once
Were Separate

Four hundred years ago sleeves
were usually made quite sep
arate from the bodices. They
were attached by means Of points
or buttons and were taken of or
added TO suit the occasion. That
Is. a very fine pair OF sleeves OF
velvet trimmed with gold. might
be added to a gown Tor ceremoni-
Gus occasions while less costly
sleeves could be worn with the
same gown at other time.
This. OF course. was a fashion
Of the days when cloth was woven
BY hand and was therefore ex-
pensive. All sewing. too. was
done by hand. and any trick that
made IL possible 10 use dresses
more widely or longer was worth
while.
We read OF crimson satin
sleeves finished with gold but
tons with nine pearls In each but
ton, and sleeves OF purple satin
and gold tissue combined.

Hair Needs Air
in Cool Weather

A good many women think that
cold weather is bad for the hair.
The fact Is that the lack Of air
our hair usually experiences in
cold weather is probably very bad
for il. We wear hats a great
deal more in winter than in sum
mer. And usually winter hats are
hotter and closer than summer
hats. Not now. perhaps. for all
last summer many women wore
felt hats. And doubtless that was
bad for the hair. for felt is an air
tight fabric that we have long
been taught was the cause Of
mems badness. However, the fad
for felt hats is n for fashion
not health authorities-to dis
cuss and dispose OF.
The best thing you a do for
your hair in cold weather is to
give it as much air and sunlight

the woman with a generous dress
allowance.
The woman who can sew
cleverly Ear make them for her
self, and so cut down their cost
greatly-especially in the more
expensive sorts. You know il is
always more Of a saving 10 make
expensive clothes than cheap
ones. \ on a buy cheap ready
made clothes so very reasonably
that Il hardly pays. sometimes, 10
make them. But IL costs a great
deal less TO make a blouse OF ex-
pensive material at home than to
buy one.
One OF the very expensive
blouses that We have mentioned
Is made OF metal cloth. The new
metal cloth is sheer and soft, and
lends itself admirably 10 blouses.
The blouse in question is made
with long. tight sleeves. with a
little pun at the top. set into low
armholes. The neck is draped
slightly. a sort of cowl drapery.
There Is a narrow belt, with a
little jeweled buckle, at a rather
high waistline.
The new blouses are made with
a fairly close-itting section below
the waist. Sometimes il is crossed
over and open at the front. Some
times II is scanned up and pulled
on over the head. Usually there
Is a belt. Though sometimes the
p~inching-in at the waistline Is
effected by fine tucks.
White satin blouses are stf1l
in good style. though tea. egg
shell, oyster are also much used
the of-white shades. SO are tan
and peach. These satin blouses
are sometimes made with turn
back rever collars. and sometimes
a scarf OF the same material
passes around the neck and is
pulled through a bound button
hole on each rever.
Batiste blouses, OF the finest
quality. most daintily made. are
also worn with autumn suits.
Some Of the new blouses have
three-quarter length sleeves, some
shorter sleeves-and some are
sleeveless.

Pumps Are Choice
OF Smart Women

Pumps are certainly to the fore
this winter.
To be sure, there are smart OK
fords for the woman who prefers
them-so that she need not by
any means look dowdy. These
oxfords are cut on shapely lines
and carry out all the new details
in fabric and detail.
But by far the greatest number
Of the new shoes are pumps.
They r made with high.
slender heels, though it is quite
possible to find them with heels
that are not exa.geratedly high.
Dull black suede Il used for
many smart shoes. with fine lines
Of grosgrain ribbon to make the
shoes look slender and shapely.
These shoes are worn with black
clothes and sometimes with those
OF other colors. though these. like
almost every other model
may pick out, come in. the So
called coat colors"-brown and
green.
Black suede shoes are also
trimmed with patent leather. in
black-and when these pumps
are made in brown and green
and sometimes maroon-suede.
the trimmings are of self color

as a trimming kid on the new
shoes. and most attractive con-

In bronze as well as IN black and

Puffs And
Long Cuffs
Combined
UndersIeeves and Lace
Trimming. Deep Arm
Holes and Wide Flare
Mark New Sleeves In
Picture

CLEENE fashions are de-
- cidely varied. And while
none Of the new more elab-
crate sleeves are extreme in
the sense that sleeves some
times become, we have a good
many types 10 choose from.
One may, of course, wear
sleeves that are quite simple
and straight. AS yet a dress
does not look old fashioned
without ornate arm covering.
One may wear sleeves that
flare very slightly from the
shoulder to the wrist, ending
with a fairly wide opening for
the hands. However, in the
most recent sleeves Of this
description the slightly far
ing sleeve ends a few inches
above the wrist and there is
a close fitting cuff beneath.
A type Of sleeve that appears
more often on formal afternoon
dresses than on dresses we choose
for daytime wear shows a
decided fullness above the elbow
"a pun that increases from the
shoulder down TO the elbow, with
a straight fairly close lower sec
ton from the wrist TO the puff
Sometimes this straight section
extends an inch or so above the
bend Of the elbow and sometimes
IL extend not quite to the elbow
SO that the pun Is al its widest
just over the elbow.
Then there are sleeves that take
on fullness from the shoulder
down TO a few inches below the
elbow. with a full u~ndersleeye
beneath. Reminiscent these Of
the sleeves Of our wi civil war
era A charming detail in a for
NAL afternoon dress was a sleeve
that was only slightly fuller
through the center section than
elsewhere. IL was quite long, ex-
tending In a somewhat shaped sec
ton that reached down over the
back Of the hand. And then to
add a fiattering touch there was
an inch wide strip Of material
that tied the sleeve about the
wrist in a graceful bow. thus ac-
centuating the slenderness Of the
wrist. Another clever new sleeve
Is fairly close fitting "a an inch
below the elbow where a short
frill occurs, below which there
is a close fitting cuff 10 the wrist.
Have you cen the new lace
trimmed sleeves? Lace cuffs 10
be sure are not particularly new.
This season they are made Of fine
lace and usually rather narrow.
But the new lace trimmed sleeves
are made with the lace placed di-
rectly against the arm and ex-
tend from the wrist 20 the elbow
where they are mounted on the
pChed'upper sleeve of silk or vel
vet That Is just one Of the many
last century fashions that have
been revived this eason
We hear much of deep arm
holes, suggestive OF the old time
raglan. Sometimes they are
really deep but more often the
raglan effect is decidedly modi-
fed. But slight as 1t Is it gives
a new look TO the new dresses
and contributes to the width
through bust and shoulders.

hair down. IL you are not sus-
ceptible TO colds you can perhaps
sit with a sweater on in an open.
sunny window even in midwinter.
But even sunlight through a
closed window is good for the
hair. And even the fresh air that
circulates through a well-aired
room with the windows closed
airs and freshens the hair.

They Give
New Note
Smart Women Like Them
And Dressmakers Are
Only Too +, Glad To
Devise Them In Many
Happy Phases.

S in fashion
~ amount to more than a
mere state of mind. True they
reflect our whims and moods
but there are deep underlying
reasons at the base of most
of them. If one but had time
to delve deeply into the mat
ter it would be interesting to
discover the rules that govern
sleeves. For more than a de-
cade after the war, we simply
didn't take sleeves into con-
sideration at all. Dresses
either had them or they didn't
They were usually long,
straight and plain or else
there weren't any sleeves at
all. And yet almost from the
beginning of that era one
heard predictions Fashion
authorities here and there
foretold the revival of inter
est in ornate sleeves and now
and then an important dress
maker would launch an inter
csting sleeve which attracted
some comment and then
passed into oblivion.
But for some interesting rsa.
son sleeves are important this
season. One might say in fact
that there have been more
changes in sleeves within the
past few months than in anything
else. The important business Of
bringing waistlines back to nor
NAL had been accomplished six
or twelve months ago. Longer
skirts we're no longer a novelty.
The really significant thing that
had To be done was to make
sleeves more interesting and more
individual.
And the significant thing is
not that dressmakers have Gre
sted a variety of picturesque
sleeves-they would have been
willing 10 do that some time ago
IL we had given them the slight
est encouragement. What really
counts is that we are all OF us
ready and eager To wear them.
One French fashion reviewer
speaks OF the return of two old
time elegances. and then refers
to picturesque sleeves and
brides" Bridges you know are
the same thing as. snoods, and
sIoods are no more nor less than
the ribbon bands about the hair
that added so much to the pic
turesque quality OF fashions in
the eighteenth century. There
are charming little velvet toques
for evening wear. Made with
bands of this sort consisting OF
roses In two colors for all the
world like the hats that the eigh-
teenth century vatican liked 10
paint.

Busters

busters and cleaning cloths

For cleaning cloths old underwear
IS good. but all button and ragged
edges should Of course be re
moved. Cotton pieces free from
lint should be chosen for window

The Blind Goddess.

A printer on the New York Times
the other day placed two sticks OF
type in a form, one above the other,
and thereby wrought, If he did not
write, q powerful commentary on the
blind goddess Of Justice. One OF the
sticks were headed-"Gets Ten Years
for $l67, 900 Theft" The other caption
read, Gets Ten Years for Ten-Cent
Hold-up."
The first story described the SEN
tence of an auditor I'm connection with
thefts Of about $167 900 in the last ten
years." He had pleaded guilty to the
specific theft Of $118 from an insur-
ance company. He will serve flve to
ten years In Sing Sing.
The other story bore Durant, Okla,
date line and consisted of an Associated
Press dispatch describing the sentencing
to prison of one Jack Kelley, arrested
in q hold-up, who pleaded his own case
in court. The judge fixed the penalty
at one year tor every cent that Kelley
got in the hold-up-and Kelley got ten
cents.
II the New York auditor had been
sentenced according to the concept OF
justice held by the Oklahoma judge, he
would have to serve 1890 years in jail,
taking into consideration only the spe-
cific charge to which he pleaded guilty.
If the Oklahoma robber had been
given New York justice, he would have
been sentenced at the rate of one year
for every $l1.8o stolen, and IS he stole
only ten cents. he would have to serve
only SOC days, or, If Mr.. Kelley chose
to be exact about it, three days, two
hours and twelve minutes.
The moral of the story is an immoral
philosophy, but one that must appeal
to the unfortunate Kelley just the same.
Mr.. Kelley win get out Of jail about q
year ahead Of Mr.. Capone. Mr.. Kelley
got only ten cents. But Mr.. Capone
was never . piker.
