ton by its full, voluminous sleeves
and the soft cowl drape of the front

by pointed insets in a girdle line
above the belt. The sash is gener-
ously cut and wound gracefully as
belt at the waistline. The skirt in
this same feminine mood flares

loads and Frogs

Frogs and toads are more or less
brothers. with slight differences. The
frog is compelled to live near wa
ter, while the toad has greater free
dom by reason Of his storage ca
pacity. One crawls and the other
jumps. Some toads hatch their eggs
upon their backs, the eggs being
held in place by the skin. There is
another frog that carries its eggs
fastened to its hind legs, until they
are ready to become tadpoles. There
are monster frogs and monster
toads. The African variety grows
to about nine or ten inches in length
and feeds on tiny animals.

Indian Chief Powhatan
Scared nv the EnoI;ah

The Indian Chief Powhatan was
the father of Pocahontas, and his
original name was Wahinsonacock,
notes writer in the Indianapolis
News. He was one Of the most pow
erful sachems connected with the
early history Of the United States.
His rule covered most of the terri
tory now embraced within the states
of Maryland and Virginia. He had
residences in different parts of his
country and changed his abode at
. different seasons of the year. At
the time of his first acquaintance
with the English in 1907 he was
about sixty years Of age.
He was tall and weIl-proportioned,
capable Of enduring great fatigue.
He showed his friendliness to the
English by sending them much
needed articles of food. However,
the conduct Of the English was so
in-advised and often so unjust that
they were continually in trouble
with him. Two or three times he
planned war against the English,
but without result. At one time an
accident occurred which had a great
effect on him. Some of his men
had obtained powder from the Eng
fish and were experimenting with it
when a powerful explosion took
place, killing several. This so great
ly increased Powhatan's reverence
for the English, or fear of them,
that he sought peace and sent to the
colony nearly half his crop Of corn.
On the death Of Powhatan, at an
advanced age, his brother, Opechan-
canough, succeeded to the throne.
in accordance with the custom by
which a brother took precedence
over a son as heir Of the kingdom.

Martial Law

In a state of emergency, such as
war. invasion. rebellion, or other
internal disorder, says London An
swers Magazine. the civil power
ceases to function and the full con-
troll is given over to the military
authorities. The civil courts are re-
placed by military tribunals. Under
martial law, much Of the usual
freedom is taken from people. One
important point is that they may be
ordered to be m their houses by a
certain hour in the evening. And
their movements from one district
to another may Ee forbidden, without
passes. Another form of martial law
is that which is imposed in wartime
on the inhabitants of occupied terri
tory by the occupying army.

Porto Rico Gets Legend
From Missing Sentinel

When pirctes roved the Spanish
Main and when marauding armadas
of territory-Sesking European ma
tons menaced every Caribbean col
ony the walls of San Juan were
carefully guarded. And there was
no more lonely nor more eerie out
post than the haunted sentry box
of Fort San Cristobal, Porto Rico,
writes a correspondent in the Los
Angeles Times.
Three hundred feet lower than the
upper ramp of the fort and yet a
sheer hundred feet above the ocean
this ancient box was constructed far
enough out on the rocky promontory
for man to sight approaching YES
SelS.
1t was reached by a tunnel lead
ing through solid rock. The cylin-
der of masonry was too small to
permit the sentry to sit down. The
Sits on four sides through which he
watched for approaching vessels
were too small to let him get out
side to stretch his legs. He was
deafened by the booming surf echo
ing in his perpendicular vault.
A sentinel disappeared from this
lonely outpost one dark night leav-
ing his uniform behind. The gar
rison decided that it must have been
the devil after a daylight examina-
ton of the ocean bottom below the
sentry box failed to reveal the body
of the missing soldier. No one else
ever went on duty in the haunted
sentry box.
1t must have given the devil
claimed sentry a good laugh when
he heard the story.
He left his uniform behind be-
cause he had planned desertion and
he escaped from the escapeproof
sentry box by walking through the
tunnel and out the main entrance to
the fort. He left San Juan and went
back into the hills where he settled
down on a small plantation and
lived in complete security.
Years later when the Americans
took over the island. his grand
children gayly recounted the story
of how grandfather had put q fast
one over on his company COM
mander.

Contractors Punished If
Collapse Caused a Death

Bodybuilding is nothing new but
its punishment is nowhere near so
severe as that imposed under the
code of Hammurabi, king Of Baby
lon, 1000 years ago. The code is
recorded on an eight-foot slab in
the Louvre in Paris. A free trans
lation from a German text says:
IF contractor builds house for
a man, this man shall give the con-
tractor two sheckels of silver per
ser as recompense.
IF a contractor builds a house
for a man and does not make it
strong enough, and the house which
he built collapses and causes the
death of the house owner then the
contractor shall be put to death.
IF it causes the death of the son
of the owner, then the son of the
contractor shall be put to death.
IF it causes the death of a slave
of the owner, then he (the contrac-
tori shall give the owner a slave
of equal value.
IF it destroys property, he (the
contractor) shall replace what has
been destroyed and because he did
not build the house strong enough
and it collapsed, he shall rebuild
the house at his own expense.
IF a contractor builds a house
for a man and does not build it so
that it stands ordinary wear and
tear, and a wall collapses, then he
shall reinforce the wall at his ex-
pense."

A very beautiful candle light
service was presented by the B. Y.
P. U. of Pilgrim Baptist Church
on last Sunday evening. The serv-
ice was based upon the three mis-
sionary journeys of the Apostle
Paul. The progressive lighting of
candles indicated Paurs travels
from city to city. Appropriate
sacred music was interspersed
throughout the program.
Mrs. Harriet Hall played the or
gan accompaniment. Soloists were
Mrs. Susie Gaylord and Mr..
George Williams. The main must
cal theme was furnished by a
group of ladies that assisted the
chorister, Mrs. Helen O'Neil.
The accounts of Pauls three
journeys were read by the B. T..
P. U. treasurer, Mr.. John Law
renee, Jr. The candle service was
under his direction also since in
the B. Y. P. U. work the treasurer
IS, by virtue of office, the mission
airy chairman. An offering of soap
and money was taken which will be
sent to the Foreign Mission Board
of the National Baptist Convention
for the work in Africa. Paper
cleaners were given to the B. \.
P. U. officers for a collection Of
dimes to be made by the Christ
mas holidays. These dimes are to
be sent in support of the appeal
to aid the National Baptist mis-
sionary budget which amounts to
sixty thousand dollars.
Because the crowd was not as
large as expected, it was decided
that the same service would be re-
peated at some future date. Mr..
Harry Ballard is the president of
the B. Y. P. U.

The 1904 Dollar

shades Of red and orange shot
through with bands Of jet black. 1t
IS extremely hard and heavy, and
being more oily than most of the
rosewood group. to which it is re-

BIG CITIES LEAD.
BUILDING REVIVAL
o. S. Building and Loan League
Finds Home Construction Up
Most in Urban Areas.
By the Associated Press.

BY Inc Associated Press.
CHICAGO. May 2e.-The Nations
1887 champion home builders, the
United States Building and Loan
League reported today, are its IA larg-
est cities and those in the 10000 to
100000 population class
The league analyzed trends Of home
building shown in Bureau of Labor
statistics and drew parallels between
the location of the bulk savings and
loan association assets and the rising
tide of home building.
In the study, it found the cities
leading this year had increased their
percentage of the total residential
construction substantially over last
year.
The cities over 100000 and the
smaller cities under 100000 have be-
tween Sd and SIS per cent of all savings
and loan resources in the Nation, the
league reported. and are putting up
about IS per cent Of this years new
homes.
. Harold T. Donaldson, league presi-
dent, declared:
Opinion of the savings and loan
executives in many of these cities is
that rising building costs have struck
them much more heavily than they
have so far affected the cities smaller
than 100000.
The still larger cities are meeting
that emergency by increasing their
percentage of apartment buildings to
total residential construction, when
compared with last year."

In Wagner Ruling 2
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, May 29-Samuel o.
Dunn, editor of the trade magazine,
Railway Age, told a meeting of the
National Metal Trades Association
yesterday valuation of the Wagner act
gave the Government an opportunity
to control general industry as it now
does railroads.
1T is inconceivable that efforts will
not now be made to increase regula-
ton of large industries that are at
present much less regulated than the
railroads" he said. These industries,
by participating in promoting the
present regulation of railroads, have
established some exceedingly bad prec-
edents."
He urged all industries, as means
to combat the issue, to adopt financial
and management policies which were
defensible in the public interest and
-then carry on an extensive educational
-. campaign to convince the public that
private operation and management
without undue Government regulation
was in the interest Of all classes. !,
