COLLEGE GIRLS WEARING
NIGHTGOWNS TO DANCES

Fudge parties and surreptitious
midnight chatting dish parties used
to be the height of daring" for col

But now they wear nightgowns to
formal dinners and dances.
It's not at all scandalous, how
ever, but merely the way the smart
modern girl solves the problem of
the high cost of evening gowns for
the many formal college functions.
Phyllis Probst, University of Ro-
chester student, explains how it's
done-with the aid of mirrors, pins,
and a little sewing.
"You can get very chic model
in a nightgown or silk house coat
for about SIS. Add a buckle here and
a flower there, and "Voila" las the
best Paris coutouriers say there's
your smart-looking evening gown.
A mere male would never know the
difference"

don't permit them to buy more than
one or two evening dresses a wear

OUR DISTRICT ENGINEER

It is understood that j. H. Council is being
heavily backed by his friends for the position of
highway engineer for this district.
Mr. Council has held this office under the
old regime and is, by virtue of his past expert
ence, the most eligible applicant for the job. He
knows this part of the new district perfectly
and has already proven that he is just and
honest public servant. With our highway COM
missioners below the mountain, it would be
pity to have our only other chance at represen-
tation to be also appointed from that part of
the district
Mr. Council is Watauga man and knows
the needs of the mountainous part of the dis
trict and would prove far more sympathetic
with those needs than lowlander could no
matter how honest or honorable his intentions.
Citizens in this section should get in touch
with the proper authorities and urge Mr.. Coun-
ellis appointment before it is too late.

Action Delayed ON
Parkway Allotment
All of North State Delegation Is
Now Supporting Restoration
of Larger Appropriation

Lengthy debate on the Interior
Department appropriations bill Sat-
urday delayed House consideration
of a proposal to restore a budget
recommendation of $5,O0O,00O for
the Blue Ridge parkway in North
Carolina and Virginia.
The House adjourned over until
Monday before reaching the park
way item which reduced the propos-
ed parkway expenditure for 1888
construction to 100000, with $500
900 of that amount recommended
for the Nathchez Trace highway in
Mississippi.
Representative Robert L. Dough-
ton of Laurel Springs, N. c., is spon-
soring the amendment to restore the
budget figure for the scenic high
way between the Shenandoah Ma
tional park and the Great Smoky
Mountains National park.
Meanwhile, word came from Rep
resentative A. l.. Bulwinkle of Gas
tonia, the only member of the Tar
Heel delegation who had expressed
opposition to restoring the budget
recommendation, that he would sup
port his colleagues.
After comforting with Frank Dun
lap, chairman of the North Carolina
Highway commission, Bulwinkle
said he would vote for the increase.

we are losing in not converting the wood IN the

bad idea at all in this country where our for

is known as town of good stores and an ex-

not yet interested themselves in their profess

might easily make habit of meeting together

Ask Death Penalty
for Girl Murderer
17-Year-Old Daughter Hacks Her
Mother to Death With
Hatchet at Home

A woman who saw much of what
went on in the other side of her
house told jury in Jersey City, N.
j., this week what she saw and
heard there the night of last July 81
when the State charges 17-year-old
Gladys MacKnight hacked her
mother to death with at Ratchet as
her 18-year-old sweetheart held her.
The death penalty was demanded
by the prosecutor, Daniel T. O'Reg-
an, as Gladys and young Donald
Wightman, former choir singer, went
on trial in Hudson county.
Only thin partition separated
Mrs. Elizabeth Feury's side of the
house on Avenue A. Bayonne, from
the kitchen in which the body of
Mrs. Helen MacKnight, At, Bayonne
clubwoman, was found lying in a
pool of blood.
Saw Girl With Hatchet
The mild-mannered woman of
middle-age, Mrs. Feury said she had
seen Gladys use the sharp-bladed
Ratchet to wedge open a locked ga
rage door and a stuck window in
the brown-painted house where the
MacKnight and Feury families lived.
Gladys, her boyish bob of last
July gone and her long blonde hair
now curled at her neck demurely,
never shifted her cool blue eyes as
photographs were produced show
ing her mothers body with deep
