Other Side of Jordan. Special Agent George Murray, of the Illinois Central Railroad, was making his rounds when heard vocal music. Having never resided in the South he had never heard anything like it. The song was delivered with Ciceronian gus to and went somethink like this: "Ah'll be there on Resurrection day, On the other side of Jordan In them sweet fields of Eden Where the .tree of life is blooming." Mr. Murray discovered the singer atop of a coal car, shoveling the con tents into a two-ton wagon. "What's the idea?" he asked. Pow'ful Happy.

UM No More Unsanitary Clothes or Corsets De clares One Expert. BY EARL. C. REEVES, International News Service Staff Correspondent. London, April 8. Elinor . Glyri, re ported to be resting somewhere in Cal ifornia, had better bide a while In the opinion of Miss Edith Shackleton. Quite a bunch of very modern youm? ladies may give her a reception if she returns just now. The famous novelist has said some thing which Miss Shackleton and oth very modern young ladies interpret as Inferring, if not saying bluntly that women aren't as clean as they used to be. She is revolted by "modern fe males puffing smoke at you, and quite disgusting, to one sense or another, to be near." She holds up iri contrast the women; of- the beginning of this century, refined to their lovely finger tips, gentle voices, perfect scents and clothes and manners, exquisitely fresh creatures whom it was obvious that a; man would want to "kiss." "Mrs. Glyn," says Edith Shackle ton, writing with spirit in the Daily Sketch, "is a courageous woman to make such charges even from the dis tance of California. I should not be at all surprised to hear of her being attacked by thousands of indignant young women armed with locrans, and buried under a mountain of bath salts and tooth powder, after being severe ly prodded by a million orange sticks, for to say that the woman, of 1921 is personally less dainty than her pre decessor of 1901 is about as easily de fensible as saying that a mediaeval castle was more hygienic than tho Middlesex hospital. Sure She Takes Balh. "It could never have, been more dif ficult for the uninitiated to decide whether a girl in evening dress was 'bound for a ball or for a bath' than it is in London today, but, at any rate, she has had the bath. It would be too obvious if she hadn't. "An efficient bath, too. Almost vany London business girl f of today is "bet ter bathed than, sayt Mary , Queen.- of Scots was. Mary had a., silver .bath s fill ed with warm red wine, but it prob ably wasn't half so effective as the hideous plumbing in our thousands of geyser-fitted suburban bathrooms. 1 "The late Victorian corset alone was enough to have started a pestilence. It was an elaborate, expensive affair. Of ten it could not have been washed. The modern girl, for all stale smoke, has not a skeleton of that sort in "her cupboard." Then Edith remembers the one-time heroine of romance who, on awaken- ing, was always throwing open the window to let in the poire morning air. Edith sniffs, with her sisters, who i "would rather have a snowdrift in the ! bed than sleep with the windows j closed." 1 i Xo More Camouflage. ! What do they say? That is a tfrst of what folks are, says Miss Shackle ton. Twenty years ago, she finds, they bought frames top u offut the hair, false curls, switches, stiffening for ab surd sleeves, binding for horrible street sweeping skirt hems. Nowadays the shop counters are heaped with nail brushes and manicure sets and shampoo powders, while we have no evidence that Juliet even -possessed a tooth brush. "The modern debutante with'herairy garment and obvious knees, would Wonder what to make of the remark f a zealous chaperon at a Dublin bp.ll In the nineties: 'Xo, captain. Mary is rov for you this polka. I'm keeping her cool for His Excellency.' "The modern girl of 1921 is the best washed being who has yet oincd the human pageant." TOO MUCH DANCING; SUSPEND STUDENTS Telluridge, Colo., April 8. A "strike" of students in the local high school resulted when one of the boy pupils was suspended because of bis connection with a dancing party. Every boy in the school v'went out" first, and they were soon joined by several girl students. A complete ces sation of scholastic activities was threat ened for several days. The trouble arose over a dancing party which was given by some of the high school boys in honor of the mem bers of a visiting high schood debat ing teain. composed of three young girls. According to school rules, no social affairs on school nights shall last later than 10:30 o'clock. The dancing party was not given in the gymnasium whpr sm-h affairs are usually staged. but was held in an outside dancing i pavilion. This breach was deplored by school authorities, but the real bone of contention was the allegation of Supt. G. H. Bonner that after the party, which . was properly chaperoned by members of the faculty, had brok en up at 10:30 p. m., many or the students of the school returned to the pavilion and continued to woo terpsi chore until the wee sma hours of the following morning. As a result the student who acted as chairman of the entertainment com mittee was asked for an explanation of the affair and, fellow students de clare, he was threatened with expul sion. . . . The student body of boys called upon the superintendent, demanding the youth's immediate reinstatement, but this was refused, and the "walk out" started. COTTON OIL. MILL. BURNS. Covington, Ga..
