CONTRIBUTION TO
CIVILIZATION MUST
BE GUARDED, SAID

We have, he said. a marvellous
state, blessed as are few states.
We have scenery, an industrial
Piedmont section, wonderful ag-
ricultural section; we have eli
mate, water power. timber, miner
ais, good roads, colleges, universe
ties, public schools, and churches,
but, he added, with all we are
writing a crime record that would
shock the consciousness of pa
gan nation.
He pointed out that there were
$4,000 criminal cases tried in su-
perior and inferior courts in the
year 1928; 36,S20 in the year
1933-34; SO homicides in the
year 1933-34, and Ga hOmicides
in the next fiscal year.
Are our highway safe? he
asked. Last year in the first II
months he pointed out more peo-
pie were killed than in the pre-
ceding year and more died on the
highways than died from this state
in the Is months of the World
war.
This accident toll, he said, is a
challenge to the pulpit of the
state, to the press, the schools and
universities, and to every man, wo-
man and child of the state.
Law enforcement agencies, ne
said, can handle the gangsters OF
the nation, but he termed the in
difference to law enforcement on
/ the part of the so-called leading
citizens as Public Enemy No. l.
What contribution, he said, are
| the Rotarians, the Kiwanians and
/ the other leading citizens making
toward law enforcement and the
respect of the established order,
he asked, and in closing he urged
the Rotarians to give much con-
Sideration to this problem in plan
ming their work.
The club was also entertained
by the Toy Band, under the direc-
ton of Miss Connie Morrow, made
up of students from the elemen-
tary grades. '- ,.....
Bennett Hunter, Junior Rota-
ian for the past month, also spoke
briefly, thanking the club for the
opportunity afforded high school
boys to attend club meetings.

PARIS STYLES
Bv MARY XNiGH1

Paris (UP)-If 1t is smartly sedate clothes you are looking for we would suggest some of the things from Marcelle Dormoy's last collection.
 The line is the main thing that is sedate here, with the material and detail of the most discriminat- ing sort. The colors are the con- trast and prove that brilliant shades can be as discreet as som- Der ones. It all depends on how the line and detail develop. Dormoy has three silhouettes: the first brought about by the long tunic over the fairly short skirt-short and sleek. The tunics with sleeves are often slit and but ton in the back. The second sil- houette Is achieved with coats plain sleeves and yokes-and a scarcity of trimming. The third line comes in the tailor-mades. and these are sedate but with clever cross-cuts due to unique tech- nique which isn't any of our busi- ness.
 Evening gowns are two-fold: fiamsy fabrics with fitness drifting backwards; and more rigid silks. failles and heavy satins and cello phane taffetas, very puff and sharp ly frightened at two places-and mid-thigh and knee.
 With smartly sedate foundations, accessories may go a little silly without altering the effect of so- briety. Contrast is important, both in color and design.

Ep YOUR CHILDREN
g. Okys Rebsrts esseee 7

Sometimes it Is possible to sug- gest panaceas for things that need fighting. Again not. One of the lat ter concerns the over-crowding of schools.
 The chairman of the committee on education of Community Coun- cil of New York, MT George D.. Frieu, makes the following state. ment:
 '"The crowded schools will pro- duce tens of thousands of pupils with anti-social complexes and retarded emotional development, who, with absolute certainty, will graduate into crime and various forms of insanity and emotional instability. During the next 20 years a large percentage will be public charges in criminal institu- tions and hospitals for the insane" Conditions of over-crowding are more acute in some places, of course, than others, but it is true that in hundreds of cities large and small over the country there has been no money to care for natural expansion.
 Classes Are Overcrowded In some cases where whole buildings have been closed and the pupils transferred to distant schools, teachers have had to do the best they could with classes nearer a hundred than the average of fifty, which Is about the limit of anyone's capacity to direct and teach.
 l When this condition exists two things naturally follow. First of all, a certain type of group or mob l psychology takes hold. Children are quick to see when matters are out of control.
 The other Is that children, acting as individuals in classes of limited numbers, lose incentive to study in about the driven teacher herself, who. under such circumstances. must feel hopelessly beaten and discouraged.
 In schools where pupils can at- tend only sessions, to mako room for the overflow the other half of the day. conditions are still worse. They are running loose on the streets. This Is the actual cause of the crime tendency men, tioned by MT Frieu.
 Not Practical in Cities
 offer no panacea for the situa- ton, and what have in mind would not affect the large city school in the least. But this little suggestion, hangover from the fresh air -fiend days, maJ be work. able in suburban or country community to certain extent now that spring Is here.
 Abroad the out of-door school is
 more popular than here In the United States, especially in coun. tries where weather permits them
 much of the year. At that there lhave been esta ablished certain ther. lapeutic schools from time to timt lin attitudes so cold the small pa.
 tieRts had to sit out under the sky
 in sleeping bags" Which goes tt
 shny that an idea Is often work
 able under the most adverse con
 ditions.

Inducing them merely to recite the alphabet and telephone directory to the class with great vigor brings an asto- nishing limbering up of both their tongues and personality.

 1 their own that the designers seem to consider a step forward in monogramming. Guest and finger- tip towels for this bathroom have white background with copper decorations of bow knots, scallops with dots and diagonal dots. Fin- gertip towels, by the way, are among the newest wrinkles and save laundry bills since the smali- CT towels, mere wisps of linen, cost less to have done.
 Perhaps the great triumph of Miss Mergentime's household en- sembling to greet the spring is her brand-new idea for sheets. The bottom sheet on the bed Is white -so that you may use any white sheet in your linen closet.
 The top one in one case is white, with twenty-inch turnover deco rated in huge pastel dots. This, Miss Mergentime has called Per sonal Appear arance."

 Has Bob Caise tried his particu- lar brand of technique yet?" Vera Duchene inquired.
 "I don't know" Millicent laugh ed. Ut depends on what you mean by his particular brand of tech- nique."
 He's good" Vera Duchene re- marked, pushing her chair back from the table Well, if I'm go- ing to keep my girlish figure I'd better break away from the food" Millicent finished her breakfast, kept thinking over Miss Duchene's answers to the officers questions. Millicent was certain Miss Duchene had started to say that she hadn't returned home until an early hour of the morning. Something had caused her to change her state. ment and she had lied to the ofil- cer. Why? Her room was over, the garage. If she was in her room she must have heard the doors open and close.
 Millicent made up her mind she would ask Miss Duchene some ques tions on her own account. She found the back stairs, clim bed them. and had no difficulty locating the room over the garage. The door was slightly ajar. Mil licent pushed 1t open and said, May I come in?"
 She caught a swirl of quick mo- tion.
 Miss Duchene had been standing In front of mirror. Now she whirled toward a closet door and flung something black into the closet.
 Millicept had only one swift glimpse. but she could have sworn that the object was black ermine coat.

"setting-up exercises bore me to death," complains q reader who is particularly anxious to keep In good physical condition.
 i've tried making q game of the various routines, and I've done them to music, but must say that can't work up a speck of enthusi- asm. Aren't there some exercises that can be interesting if not real. ly amusing?"
 Of course there are. And skip ping rope. as any young movie star will tell you, Is a fine one. If you live in the country, skip rope in the lawn. If not. use your back yard. the roof of the apartment house or. if you have neither, the largest room in your home.
 Skip first with one foot and then with the other. Then with both feet. Turn on the victrola and hop to music or hum or sing as you swing the rope up, over and down. incidentally. stretch your arms as far upward as you can and lift your. feet at least a foot from the floor. Keep your body relaxed and comfortable. If you tense your muscles and hold your arms and legs rigid, half the benefit of the exercise will be lost
 Skip about twenty-five times the first day and then gradually increase the number, until you are skipping at least one hundred times a day. Learn to enjoy it. There's no reason under the sun why anyone should be bored while playing this simple game. Remember, too, that swimming is marvellous exercise. It may not reduce you, but it certainly will equalize your weight and make you supple and more grace full.

Marguerite Mergentine. for inc stance worked out for one of the new pre-fabricated homes that you hear so much about, a kitch- en set that she calls Servlce Stripes. The dish and roller tow els are done in a red and white striped design on hand-blocked fast-color linen and pot holders are made of terry cloth in the same red and white stripe. The red and white theme is repeated again in the curtains and in several de- tails of the kitchen trim.

like sprays of cold water tingling the healthy young skin of her shapely body. She rubbed herself into q glow with a rough towel and suddenly felt infinitely bet ter.
 She dressed hastily, descended the stairs and found Mrs Eaton waiting for her at the table.
 Good morning" Mrs Eaton said in her colorless voice. T presume you will have but little appetite this morning. You've heard what's happened. The of- ficers are all back in the room now, taking photographs and measurements. They'll remove the body presently"
 "Yes," Milliccnt said. T heard what happened. It's horrible. But I have an appetite just the same. After all. you know, l oply knew him slightly"
 Millicent drew out a chair at the table and, as she did so, a door opened and dark-haired young woman with clear gray eyes that flashed in quick ap- praisal entered the room.
 Mrs Eaton said tonelessly, T don't think you two have met. This is Millicent Grabes-Miss Duchene. Miss Grabes is MT Jarvis Happ's new secretary, and this, Miss Ora bes, Is Vera Duchene. the personal maid and assistant to Mrs Happ."
 Millicent was curious about this maid. She bowed and said. "Im very pleased to meet you. Have you breakfasted?"
 Miss Duschene shook her head. "No," she said, "and I'm raven- ous.
 She sat down and reached for the electric coffee percolator which was bubblhlg on the table.

ordinary cultivated grasses. The cure for soil acidity is dose of lime.
 If this material has not been ap- piled to the lawn for several years. you will make no mistake in ap- plying lightly one of the common forms of lime. such as hydrated lime or pulverized limestone. A dressing of either at the rate of from 25 to 40 pounds to 1000 square feet once every four or five years should largely correct this unfavorable acid condition.
 Lawn grass also needs food. and the easiest and most satisfactory way of supplying plant food Is in the form of commercial fertilizer. A mixed" or complete" fertilizer,

there the idea may be usable just because it looks so very impossi- ble. Things sometimes work out that way.
 As for crowded city schools, perhaps the dire results predicted by MT Frieu may be milder than he thinks. My own reaction is that lowered home standards are a still more likely menace to child well fare and mental stability. Let us hope with prayer that conditions improve nightly enough in the next few years to reclaim those little underprivileged ones already damaged.
