To Begin September 16
CULLOWHEE, Sept. l.-The fall
term of schol at Western Carolina
Teachers' college begins September
16. Registration takes up two days,
and class work will begin on Wed
nesday, Sept. 18. Quite a large regis
traton is expecte'd, and the new dor
mitory for young women will be
ready for occupancy. This will elimi
. na'te the necessity of students room
ing in .the community for the pres
ent at least. 4
Several new faculty members are
coming to Cullowhee this fall. Two
of them, Mr. W. M. Hunt, and Mr.
P. L. Elliott, have already been work
ing in the college durnig the summer.
g Miss Thelma Howell, biology teacher,
' and Mrs. W..N. Coward, critic teach
er, are also new members of the reg
ular faculty. , .
Mr. Elliott is known to the people
of Cullowhee, and , the nearby, town,
. and he has already won their hearts.
He comes from Mars Hill college
from the department of English, which
work he will continue at Western
Carolina Teachers' ' college. Cullo
whee is indeed fortunate to add to
her faculty this- man of splendid

WELL DRESSED 1
.Some one has said that" person is
composed of three parts soul, body
and clothes. To feel her best, to be
free from self-consciousness and to
be 'accorded respect, a woman must
be well dressed. This does not nec
cessarily mean expensively dressed, for
awoman may spend a small fortune
on her raiment and merely look ri
diculous. It does mean, however, that the line
color, style and material of. our cloth
ing must be appropriate -for the oc
casion on which it is wo'rn. This
commonly means simple cotton dress
es for housework and porch dresses
and for the office in hot weather.
Tailored looking street dresses. Cot
ton . dresses for tennis and other
sports. Modest crepe dresses or
those of some similar material for
afternoon, church, the club, the con-
cention .of travel. Something fluffy
for the informal party, and something
of velvet or lace or satin or tareta
or soft silk for formal events, if any.
We should analyze ourselves hair,
eyes, complexion, figure to determine
what will be most becoming to us.
This may be done by studying a coloi

chart, or reading a book on the sub
ject, such as may be found in most
modern libraries. Consult the , cloth-
inc specialist in your dry-goods store
or the home economics teacher of
your school, if you are not sure i of
your own conclusions.
Most of us dress, to cover up our
physical defects. ' We should rather
dress to play up our gocid points. If
one is not certain of her taste, the
best policy is to dress modestly, with
softened-down tints and medium styles
which do not attract attention. Gen
tility is always dressed quietly and
the most aristocratic styles are the
most simple.
THE JOY OF MOTHERHOOD
The responsibilities and burdens of
motherhood have been played up too
much in literature, The typical moth
er is pictured as a worn, kindly, self
sacrificing creature whom we should
cherish tenderly because she has en
dured so much.
The joy of motherhood are too
little stressed. What unmarried aunt
would not go through many times as
much as it requires, otily to be the
mother of John or little' Mary ? What

childless wife has not wept bitter
tears because the joys of motherhood
are denied to her? Yet when moth
ers get together they too often dilate
upon muddy boots, bottomless appe
tites, finger prints on walls, dresses
to be let out, innumerable, questions
to be answered, and noises without
end. '
If we would think more about our
children's characters and dispositions,
and less about our housekeeping; if
we would play with them more, and
talk with tbcm enough to know what
they are thinking about ; if we would
watch them and glory in them and
keep close to them, we ourselves
would keep young and fresh and hap
py and realize that we are rich in
having them.
Children arc su sweet, so affec
tionate, so honest, so eager to learn,
so active and ambitious! It is so in
teresting td watch them develop from
month to month! Who would magni
fy the pin pricks along the way, when
we have our own in our homes the
choicest possessions of God's creation
children ? If you are a mother, ap
preciate every day of it, now, while
you have, the children about you.
You cannot recall these precious days.
Make them rich and full and joyous.

Farmer Selling Wood
Loses On 'Long Cord'
The quantity of. wood sold as a
"cord" has been found' to vary from
one-third of legal cord in some
localities to as much as a cord and
a half in others. The legal cord in
the United States, according to the
Forest Service of the United States
Department of Agriculture, is a stack
of wood 4 feet wide, 4 feet high, and
8 feet long equivalent to 128 cubic
feet. ' v
Jn a certain region of Virgnia, when
farmers sell a "cord" of pulpwood
they deliver 180 cubic feet of wood,
nearly one and one-half times the
amount of wood in a legal cord. And
in central New York the man who
buys a "cord" of stovewood gets
about one-third of a legal cord. Far
mers in North Carolina, now selling
considerable quantities of pulpwood,
generally assume that a cord of pulp
wood is 160 cubic feet, although fire
wood is sold in incorporated towns of
the State according to the law which
specifies that a cord shall consist of '
a pile .of wood 8 feet long, 4 feet
wide, and 4 feet high the legal cord
in the United States. .
To eliminate the likelihood of cost
ly, misunderstandings, W. R. Mattoon,
extension forester, Forest Service,
proposes a set of specfic, terms to
identify the different amounts of
wood which in accordance with local
custom are sold as a cord. He would
call a stack of wood 8 by 4 by 4 feet
a "standard cord," a stack 8 by 4
by 5 feet a "long cord," or one and
one-quarter standard cords, and a
stack of stovewood 8 by 4 feet by
12 inches a "short cord."-or one-fourth
standard .cord r
rsrocrc
Forest Service says. A standard cord
contains 128 cubic feet of space. The
open space between the sticks of wood,
varies widely with different v lots of
wood. Straght sticks lie close togeth- ,
er and a cord of them will contain
more wood than a cord of crooked
sticks. If a standard cord of 4-foot
sticks is . cut into stove lengths it
will stack up in less space because
the wood will lie closer or more solid,
since shortening the stciks lessens
the crooks and therefore decreases
the space wasted by them. The
smaller the sizes of sticks in the
stack the more vacant space and the
less actual amount of wood. Com- v
mon usage gives an cquavalent of 90
cubic feet of sold wood in a standard
cord; or in terms of board feet, 500
board feet per cord.
