The first design, suited to develop ment in the crapes, cottons or silks, falls almost to the hem of the plaited skirt, the oval neck being finished with a draped collar with tab ends.

Medium size requires, for the blouse, yards 36-inch material, and for the skirt 4% yards the same width, i Nothing is smarter than a straight-line blouse and a plaited skirt, the two ,'jften constituting a semi-formal costume.

We often read of how this or that y&rson succeeded in becoming famous although he never went to college. There is danger here in being led astray by special instances instead of Tsiug our common sense and studying general averages. Statistics gathered by James Mc BHnney and A. M. Simmons show that the all too common notion that coi nage training unfits a man for busi ness is a mistaken one. These statistics sow that of 5,000, M9 men in the United States who had no schooling only 311 attained dis With a college education 5,168 men mt of 1,000,000 achieved success. It is well to keep in mind^ there fore, in estimating your chances, that ike child with no schooling has one -cttnn.-:v in 150,000 of performing dis ^a,gmshed service, while the one who 3a.s a college education has 800 times that chance. Air. (Wall Street Journal) it is a long way from the time Tyhen the late Commodore Vanderbilt told George Westinghouse, inventor -9f the air brakes: "What, stop a' train with nothing but air? Bosh' i atttff! Nonesense!" We are accus-' TRmed now to all kinds of things be ing: done with nothing but air. The latest use for pneumatics is the feed ing of eattle in transit on railroads. ^ A grain car is connecvted to a stock car and at any time in transit com pressed air is turned on and the feed transferred to the hungry cows and 3teers. Also, if a grain car gets dam the pneumatic mtehod has been proved the best and cheapest for transferring iitis contents to a good 65&r. Said Can't Be Done * 'My experience with doctors and ^nedicines caused me to lose faith in both, and when a friend told me that Mayr's Wonderful Remedy would f?ure my stomach trouble I told him "it can't be done." However, he finally presuaded me to try it and to my surprise it did. All symptoms of acute indigestion and gas having dis appeared."

These verses of Bishop He ber's have been, in the century since they were set to music by Lowell Mason, translated into almost count less languages, used to an extent veritably beyond imagiation in mis sionary work, and just recently were accorded a special centennial service in Savannah, Ga., where Mr. Mason acted as organist from 1812 to 1827. The fact that the tune was composed, so the story goes, in about half an hour, shows how little the concept of time enters into the record of real-achievement. _ ' —The next degree after A. B. is J.

WILL BE BEADY WHEN YOUR CROP IS READY FOR THE GIN. tUVWOOD & BRLM EXAMPLE OF HHMf r (Wall Street Journal) Of all American -industries none has had to work harder to increase receipts to offset Federal regulation of profits than the railroads, and of all the railroads striving for econ omy probably none has put greater effort into economy than the South ern Pacific. In 1923, it had surplus f $44,552, 000, of which $2,531,000 came through accumulation and reclama tion of old materials. The saving extended to every department and item used in railroading. Results of a few activities are interesting to note. Empty cement sacks picked up and returned for credit brought $31,094. Scrap ties and wood saved and sold for fuel brought 16,6600. Couplers reclaimed, 3,055 of them, ' savd the company $35,758. Scratch pads made from odds and ends of re cording paper saved $1,350, and making paint buckets, car plates and refuse cans out of scrap metal car roofing saved $3,322. Another Paved Town. (Troy Montgomerian) When the street paving campaign that is now on shall have been fin ished one thing is certain and that is that few towns this size in the State [ will have mor emileage of first class i street system paving tan Troy.

'THE COVERED WACOM" July 14 and 15 Orpheiun, Oxford, X. C. , A Fine Piece Of Work. } (From the Manufacturers Record) A splendid piece of work has been done by the Development Department of the Seaboard Air Line Railway Company in having Lockwood, Green &Co., the well-known engineers of Boston and Atlanta, make a survey of the territory tributary to their line in Virginia, ,the Cardlinas, Geor gia gpd Alabama. In addition to this iyork, a large number of cities have joined the Seaboard in the cam paign in order to secure a complete survey as to their industrial oppor tunities. The more thoroughly surveys of this kind, by men of recognized standing in the engineering and chemical world, can be made, the more completely will the resources and the opportunities of th eSouth be made known to the country at large.
