The local prep aration is great, the Home managers being active to have everything ready for the Chautauqua program which, as News readers will remember, is of superior attractiveness. M GALA ATTIRE PLANS FOR GHAU TAUOUA IN I! This city is surely to be in gala at tire Chautauqua Week, according to plans now being perfected at the Red path Chautauqua headquarters in Chi cago. Last year in all places where Red path Chautauquas were held, nine pen nant streamers spanned the business streets. This year the number will be increased to fifteen and in addition the streamers are much larger than heretofore. Three hundred small banners for use on awnings and the like are also being sent to each city. There will be a general supply of cloth pennants for the autos. In many towns these will be used first in an automobile "booster" trip around the county. A neat and unique pennant printed on good paper in blue anj orange col ors and bearing the words: "This home believes in the Redpath Chau tauqua." will be furnished for the win dows of the homes ten days in ad vance cf the coming of the Chautau qua. The pennant measures two feet In length and is ten inches wide at the top. In the foreground is a typi cal Chautauqua tent, filled with peo ple. The number of pennants will be lim ited to 500 in each town. This pen- "tion program as arranged Mayor Bland, who is back from Greensboro, where he attended a con ference on the program for the Muni cipal convention here May 14 and 15, is enthusiastic over the success the convention promises to be. It was decided to have a parade of the city departments at 10 o'clock on the morn ing of the 14th, after which he con vention will be held in the Selwyn assembly room, Mayor Bland presid ing. Dr. A.

London, April' 18.-European courts face what is practically a widespread strike on the part of princesses against matrimony made to order. Individual protests against being made a. victim of the old system whereby royal chil dren have no voice in the selec tion of life partners are as old as the system itself, but the stand now taken, narticularlv by the princesses is said to appear like a concert of ac tion.. It is a blow to the royal match makers who blame both the scarci tv of nrincesses and the growth of feminism for the failure of their pet system. In this connection it is known that m'anv of the royal dowagers are inclined to lay the responsibility for this state of affairs on the tair snoui ders of Princess Patricia of Connaught rimifHitpr nf the Governor General of Canada, who is said during her resi dence in the new world to have acquir ed certain odious democratic ideals not at all in harmony with her station The recent birth of a son to the Duchess of Brunswick, the only daugh ter of Emperor William of Germany, has' served to call attention again to the small number of princesses and has given further force to the excuse nf the roval bachelors that they are unable to find suitable partners of their own rank. This excuse may or may not be entirely valid, but it is un- doubtedly true that ooia me un6 men and women of the royal circles show a distinct disinclination towards matrimony made to order Among the eligible princesses, who seem in np hurry to accept the partners selected for them by their royal par ents, are the elder daughters of the Emperor Nicholas of Russia, notably the Grand Duchess Tatiana, the beauty of the Russian imperial family, ana Princess Elizabeth of Roumania. The latter is really a beautiful girl and any debutante might envy her perfect iea tures her cloud of lovely hair and her very exnressive eyes. Both she ana hpr vnnneer sister. Princess Marie have inherited the wonderful Co burg elegance coupled with the half-' gay, half-sad charm of their native land. But the strike is not confined entirely to feminine sprigs of royalty. It is even said that the Prince of Wales, the most eligible of royal bachelors, has turned up his nose at the suggestion of a union with a very high-placed, but extremely unattractive princess. The Church of the New Ideal, which admits no males to membership, has held its first services. The church is located in Wallasey, the newly consti tuted borough on the Cheshire side of the Mersey. Some 200 women assem bled for the inaugural sermon delivered by the Rev.. Hatty Baker, of Ply mouth. Men were rigorously excluded- ' . A preliminary declaration of reasons for the formation of the church sets forth "the epoch making advance In the self-consciousness of women as a sex," and women's realization of equal ity with man in religious as well as other spheres of life. Their exclu sion hitherto from any share in con ducting church services is referred to as an exclusion by which the "general progress of humanity has been, de layed. The Rev. Hatty Baker, who wore what is described as a "white choker" and a black gown of conventional cler ical tvnp. took as her subject. "God's Trieal." She declared that rhnrrhea as founded and conducted by men obscured this ideal, and the nresent effort was to create a church of the future which would be along the lines of the ideal. Abraham, she said, as long as he acted on his own initiative made many mistakes and twice had to be told by God to take wife, and the great FAILS TO SECURE RECOGNITION Lady's Own Friends Assert Could Not Recognize Her When Brought Face to Face. Arritts, Va. Mrs. D. J. Bowen, of this town, makes the following state ment: ."For 20 years I suffered with t womanly troubles, and although I tried different treatments, I did not get any relief. I was unable to loot after any of my work, and my friends thought I could not get well. - Finally, I began to take Cardui, the woman's tonic, and I hadn't taken one third of the first bottle, before I could notice its good effects. Now J. can do all my work, feel like I'm not more than 16 years old, but am really 49. My own friends say I lock so well, they don't recognize me when we meet in the road. My daughter is using Cardui, and she 'says it is a fine medicine. I also have a number of lady friends taking it, since they found out how it helped me. Whenever I feel a little fatigued after a day's extra hard work, I just take a dose of ' Cardui and am all right. I can't say too much for Cardui." Thousands of women -who now suf fer from womanly troubles, could be relieved and benefited, by following Mrs. Bowen's example. Are you of this number? If so, try Cardui today. It cannot harm you, and is almost sure to do you good. At the nearest drug store. N. B.

Special to The News. Raleigh, April 18. The corporation commission made an order yesterday requiring the Southern Express Corn nan v to put into effect on June '5 a new system of rales applicable to in trastate express business in- North Carolina," it being based on the new schedule of rates applicable on inter state business throughout the United States, through order of the inter state commission, but with consider able modifications that will avert raises in the rates on various com modities that would be the effect of a blanket application of the interstate rates. The interstate, system on which the new North Carolina rates are based is the result of an investiga tion that extended over three years and involves an expenditure of more than a quarter of a million dollars. In a full statement of the express rate situation as it bears on the or der -of the commission just made issued from the offices of the com mission today it is set out that the interstate commission, in its investi gation, went into the very fundament als and their rate structure was the uniform basis from one end of the United States to the other, subdivid ed into five different zones, zone No. 2, comprising ' the Southern States. That the corporation commission, however, did not adopt the interstate commission's scheme in its entirety, for the reason that for state purpo ses there should to a modification of the short haul rates, which reduces the minimum rate on merchandise from sixty-five cents 'per hundred pounds to fifty cents per hundred pounds and the second class rates covering practically all food pro ducts from forty-nine cents- to thirty- eight, cents. This new federal basis would have the effect of raising some of the present North Carolina rates for the reason that, as the commis sioners express it, the present sys tem of express rates is thoroughly il logical, some being extremely low, being no higher in some cases, in and in some cases the-present rate and in some cases thep resent rate beings extremely high. And that, there fore, any uniform logical adjustment would necessarily involve some in creases in rates. - However, with the modifications now prescribed by the corporation commission, the increases in the ex isting rates will not be important and the decreases will be very much more extensive. In fact, that the re ductions made will mean a substan tial cut in express revenues through put the state. : The commission ex- Pialns that the officers of tire express company have agreed to give the new rates as the commission has ad justed them a thorough test with the expectation that there will be a sufficient increase in the volume of business in the handling of those commodities especially adjusted on low basis by the commission to make up for the reduction of the rates. Furthermore, the commission ex presses . the, view that the shinning public will ' appreciate the fact that some increases - in rates were una voidable in substituting ,a scienti fically logical and uniform basis for the extremely illogical and ununiform basis heretofore obtaining- in the ex press rates. The commission assures the public that the commission has endeavored to protect the interests of the North Carolina producers bv 4 maintaining special rates en berries, cantaloupes, apples, cabbage, onions, potatoes, mineral water, ice, and some modifications in other products. One advantage to follow the adop tion of the new basis of rates that it is believed will be of great assistance to the public is that a simple express tariff and classification will be is sued for ' all important points and placed in the hands of shippers inter ested from which they will easily be able to ascertain the correct rate from their shipping point to any other, express office in the United States, both intra and interstate. - It is agreed between the corpora tion commission and the Southern Ex press Company for. ten days follow ing the application of the new rates shall be computed both the new and the old basis of rates so that it can be determined through this , means just what the effect of ,the change ot rates . win be it there is any un just effect shown through" this com parison the commission will take steps to correct it. , .
