ing last night in the high school
auditorium went on record as Op
posing silk stockings, powder,
rouge and lipsticks for high schpol
girls and unanimously voted to
exert their efforts to prevent fur
ther use of them by girls in the
high school here.
Mrs. K. W. Weathers brought
the question to the attention of
the association declaring that she
?and other parents were thinking
seriously in regard to the dress
of their daughters. She declared
that silk stockings and other ex
travagances ought to be. cut out.
She declared that the mothers
ought to do something about the
compacts and lip sticks that their
daughters are carrying to school.
Miss Margaret Connor and Miss |
Laura Jones, teachers, declared
that they heartily endorsed Mrs.
Weathers' remarks.
Mrs. R. N. Simms. president of
the association, called for a vote
and the association went on re

Miss Hayes deserves especial men
tion for her rareful rendition of the

Beethoven selection. In her second
group, she proved herself not only a
master of careful technique but also
an Interpreter of an unusual range
of feeling. In the exquisite tone poem

notes of the little brook with delicate
care. In the heavier work in Chopin,
she succeeded in expressing an unus

great power.
Miss Huggins in her role of assist
ant, gave a group of four charming

a sweet, clear soprano. In her sec
ond group of more serious interpre
tations, she showed fine reserve, deep
feeling, and colorful production.

a two piano piece by Misses Edwards

tor an evening of unusual Interest to
xnusle lovers. But that was not all.
In the college parlors, Miss Hayes and
Miss Huggins entertained their friends
in a very pleasant informal recep
tion. Punch was served and a very
delightful social hour vras enjoyed.

The Swearing Habit
By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK
Ohi of Horn, Uair.r.ky of
iUiooU.
I KNEW a woman one* who in ex
planation at her load and blatant
profanity gave as a reason for her
blasphemy that she wanted to let God
know that she wasn't afraid to speak
her mind. The explanation was defi
nite if it was not one that appealed
to one's sense of fitness.
Everyone who swears has some rea
son, conscious or subconscious, and
some of these reasons are not difficult
to understand. In many cases the in
dividual takes refuge in oaths be
cause of illiteracy, because of lack of
vocabulary. The very raeagerness of
his words drives him to the conclusion
that be will gain force or variety by
cursing. He "has a feeling" that he
is driving a point home when he
The bully or the coward swears to
give the Impression of force or to for
tify his courage. It is a sort of
camouflage which deceives only the
inexperienced. It is pretty safe to
?Up a man in the face if he swears
at you and to expect an apology.
8wearing shows a self-consciousness,
a lack of self-reliance, a lack of
knowledge; it is like the boy In the
woods whistling to keep his courage
up. The boas who swears at the men
he directs or Instructs not infrequent
ly does so as a means of covering up
his own lack of knowledge or inex
perience in directing people. The
profane man Is usually the excited or
terrified or ignorant one The man
who swears seldom if ever inspires
either respect or fear or confidence In
those who are the recipients of his
bullying. They have the viewpoint of
the irreverent young son, who, listen
ing to an outburst of profane advice
from his father, said, "Oh, pa's blow
ing off again."
The young fellow Just out of high
school, just freed from the restraint
of home, often feels that he shows
himself a man to the extent that he
is able to rip out a good oath. Swear
ing in bis mind demonstrates the fact
that he has seen the world, that he
is no longer a social greenhorn, that
be is entitled to respect.
It la admitted that profanity U a
common habit among men, but it is
coming to be less In vogue than It
waa It is a low, vulgar habit best
suited to the ignorant, the Ill-trained,
and the unclean. It will go out of
fashion, I feel sure, not so much be
cause it is wrong as because it Is
weak. The man who swears has for
the time being dropped his guard, has
shown a lack of strength, a failure to
control himself and the situation be
fore him. He Is under such circum
stances more easily defeated, he has
prejudiced his cause, he Is weak and
not Infrequently pitiable He is not
at his best.
When a man begins to swear at
you, you can be assured that you are
stronger than he Is.

AN EAST WAT TO SATE CLOTEK
SEED r
Raleigh, May 11.?One of the great
est drawbacks to sowing more legumes
In North Carolina Is the cost of seed.
With some legumes this may be over
come bysavlng seed at home. Ex
tension workers of the State College
of Agriculture find that this Is very
easy with Crlmsdn clover. Simply
let an acre or two get fairly ripe, mow
it, and put It in a barn with a tight
floor. Feed this to cattle during the
summer; It Is not first-class hay, but
much better roughage than straw or
corn stover. When feeding this rough
age, beat It well with the pitchfork,
so as to shatter off the seed, then
rake up the seed and sow them in the
hull.
'By this method" says E. C. Blair,
Extension Agronomist, "one farmer
saved enough seed from two acres to I
sow thirty acres on his own farm, and
had a large quantity to sell. The
largest yields of seed are obtained on
land that Is not above medium fertili
ty. On rich soils the tendency Is to
produce more stem and leaf growth,
with fewer seed."
In sowing Crimson clover In the hnll
Mr. Blair recommends the nee of thir
ty pounds of seed per acre, sown
about three weeks before the time of
sowing cleaned seed. The unhulled
seed ar harder to bow evenly, he
states, and It takes them longer to
come up than cleaned seed. On the
other hand the young clover Is less
apt, to be Injured hf drought, elnce
It takes considerable moisture to pene
trate the hull and cause the seed to
germinate.
