The washable white net is selected and when the pretty frock is soiled it may be sent to the laundress along with white dimity and lawn costumes. These white net dresses are rather simply made, with ruffled skirts, or full, gathered skirts tucked in groups. Shirrlngs are lovely in net, but they iJo not launder satisfactorily neither do net pleatings; so it is best to use narrow white lace or frilled footing as a trimming on bodice and sleeves. Snap-fastners close such a frock invisibly, and usually there is : slip of accordion pleated daphne silk, or of pussy willow taffeta to go underneath. Such a frock may be worn it a very informal afternoon affair, or ?with handsome sash, tinted pussy willow lining and dainty slippers?at a very formal evening affair in summer. Be sincere in what you say of others. If you cannot think nice things about them, do not say anything at all. You should never run down others in your speech, so if you cannot praise, be silent. If you are forced to utter an opinion about a person you dislike, pick out the one point you find to admire in that person and mention that. Unfortunately, it is all too seldom that the real hypocrite recognizes herself in her true nature. She usually garbs herself in a cloak of selfrighteousness, covering her inward self with a mask ofr dissimulation. Her "I-am-better-than-thou" attitude succeeds in deceiving most of the world, including herself as well. This Pharisaism is one of the commonest characteristics of the hypocrite. It is better to be blunt and outspoken than to be hypocritical. The hypocrite may make more friends, but the frank person knows her friends are true. You want your friends to liko you for what you are?not for what you are not, but pretend to be. LETTER TO TRUSTEES Important Information as to How to Secure State Aid. Hon. J. E. Swearingen, state superintendent of education, has sent out the following letter to the boards of trustees In the fifty-six York county school districts, which is self-explanatory: Your school district will probably desire to receive a continuance of its state aid during the scholastic year of 1915-16. Before your board has completed all its plans for next session I recommend that you consult your county superintendent about a term extension application, a rural graded school application, or a high school application. Last year there were 677 term extension districts; 400 rural graded school districts; and 130 high school districts. I urge you to plan for a seven months' term, if possible. This term can be secured if your monthly salary account is adjusted to your estimated income. If you find it difficult to run your school seven months, please communicate with your county superintendent and the state superintendent. The state department of education recommends that no teacher be allowed or required to take charge of more than fifty pupils in one classroom. This suggestion is offered in the hope of preventing the wasteful and hurtful over-crowding of the first four grades. TpHchers ;in<l trust pes nt it:itf>-aiili>(l schools should communicate with the state superintendent wherever they find It difficult to limit the number of pupils to fifty to the teacher. Section 1761 of the Code authorizes trustees to employ only those teachers who hold valid South Carolina certificates. Attention to this requirement of the law before the opening of the school will help to avoid confusion later. Application blanks for term extension aid. rural graded school aid or high school aid are obtainable from either the county superintendent or the state superintendent. A full supply of these blanks have already been sent to each county superintendent. In filling out an application of any kind please see that all data are neatly, fully and accurately entered. Please do not make the mistake of sending in an application unless it has been carefully examined and verified both by the trustees and by the county superintendent. Notwithstanding the business unrest and industrial depression, the scholastic year 1914-15 was in many respects the best in the history of our schools. I wish every school continued progress and greater usefulness during 1915-16. It will be a pleasure and a privilege to serve you at any time to the best of my ability and to co-operate in any constructive plan for the betterment of your school and your district.

DREADFUL BAYONET CHARGES Jane Addams Says Soldiers Will Make Them Only When Drunk. Soldiers in the European war must be made drunk before they will obey commands for bayonet charges, was the amazing statement made by Jane Addams in a discussion of her experiences in the warring European countries last Monday night in Carnegie hall, New York. Germans, French and English were specifically mentioned by her in this connection. "Young men in these countries say, 'Ah, the bayonet charge. That is what we dread.' "They give them beer in Germany, rum in the English army and absinthe in the French. They have to give them the dope, so to speak, before a bayonet charge is possible," said Miss Addams. The occasion was a reception to Miss Addams and the other delegates to the international congress of women to promote peace held at The Hague in the last days of April. Miss Addams declared that many on both sides are deliberately refusing from taking the lives of their opponents. Says Soldiers Refuse to Kill. "We met a young German in Switzerland who had been in the trenches three months and a half." she said, "and who had been wounded in the lungs. He was recuperating. "He was at 28 facing death, and this is what he said, speaking his mind before he went back to the trenches: That never for those three months and a half had he shot his gun in a way that could possibly hit another man? that nothing in the world would make him kill another man. "He declared his brother was an officer who, he knew, never shoots in a way that will kill. And, he said, 'I know hundreds of young men who are the same.' "At one hospital in Germany I learned of five young Germans who had been cured and were ready to be sent back to the trenches who had commit ted suicide because they were afraid they would be put into a position where they would have to kill someone else. "We also heard similar stories in France." Miss Addams declared one of the leading men in Europe had declared that If the war could have been postponed for ten years it would have been Impossible because of the tremendous revolt against war in the schools and universities. "I have no plan," said Miss Addams, "and I have never dreamed of advising the president. But it seems to me thai if a set of people could be gotten together who have had international experience to make propositions to the warring nations for the end of the war ?on humane grounds?I am sure negotiations would be received favorably. "When we spoke to the people we were told that the people did not want the war, that the government was making it. We did not reach the military, but we heard from people who said some of the military were sick or this war. "In practically all of the foreign offices the men said again in very similar phrases that a nation at war cannot make negotiations, cannot even express a willingness to receive negotiations, because the enemy construes it as an acknowledgement of weaknesa But, it was agreed, if some other power presents propositions, if neutral peoples will make propositions, one after another, until something is found upon which negotiations may be begun there is not one of the warring nations that would not be glad to receive such service." Miss Addams declared that she and her companions who were delegated as a committee by The Hague congress of women to sound the nations as to the prospect for peace never talked peace. "The word is intolerable to them," she said. "We simply asked what could be done to substitute some form of civic negotiation in place of continuing to fight out the issue on a military basis." Blame* Older Men for War. Everywhere Miss Addams and hei companions, she said, heard the war was an old man's war?that the young men who were doing the fighting did not want the war. "Somewhere in church or state, somewhere in high places of society, the elderly and middle-aged people had established in their own minds that this was a righteous war and must be fought; and as the young men put it in certain countries, these elder men were hounding the young fellows on to do the fighting. "That is a terrible indictment. I admit I cannot substantiate it I submit it as an Impression. "When peace comes," said Miss Addams, "it must come through the people within the warring countries getting in touch with each other, which they cannot now do under the strict military censorship."

The National Society of Ambulance Dogs of France now haB eight kennels where experts are busy preparing dogs for service at the front, says a Purls dispatch. They are training patrol dogs, dispatch carriers and trench guards, as well as ambulance dogs with such success that the army is call'ng for more than they can supply. Two hundred and twenty-five patrol dogs have Just been sent to a part of the front that cannot be disclosed. These dogs accompany patroling and reconnoitering parties at night and carry messages back to the lines when necessary. The dog is able to perform this duty much quicker and In far greater security than a man. The service Is of great value as It permits a patrolling party that has urgent news to send back, to use the dog to maintain communications with the main force while continuing a reconnaissance. It takes only ten days for a dog of ordinary Intelligence to learn this service so that it may be relied upon to perform It like a trained soldier. The trench dog is taught first of all to maintain an absolute silence until the approach of strangers to the trench; not until the enemy is within 200 yards must the dog make a sign, then he gives warning by a low growl. Many attempts of the enemy to make a surprise attack by night have been detected by their use. The service is quite as exposed and dangerous as that of an advanced sentry or lookout and he often shares their fate. "Clarion," a remarkably Intelligent sentry dog that became the glory of his company before he was killed by a fragment of a bomb, was buried with a pomp and honored with a cross to perpetuate his services. "True," a little fox terrier, who sought out 150 wounded men in con cealed places during the battle of the Marne, was one of a number of ambulance dogs just sent back to the front after a well-earned rest. "True" stuck to his post during the pursuit of the Germans until his master was killed, then in the confusion of the advance lost his company. He turned up one morning exhausted and footsore at the kennel of the president of the society of ambulance dogs at Maisons Lafltte, where he had been trained for service. All that dogs are doing and have done at the front will not be known until nfter the war; the censor finds some of their services so Important that he says to disclose it would give valuable hints to the French enemies. KING OF FLE8H EATERS. Tyrannosauraus Meaaue* 47 Feat In Length and 18 In Height. After months of preparation three great dinosaurs, creatures that stalked through the Bad Lands of the west and in the region of the Red Deer river 3,000,000 years ago, carnivorous and herbivorous types, have been mounted at the American Museum of Natural History, where they will no doubt attract considerable attention when placed on exhibition, says the New York Sun. Of chief interest in this trio is the huge tyrannosaurus, a mammoth example of the cretaceous dinosaur, known as king of the fiesh eaters, a specimen measuring 47 feet in length and 18 1-2 in height The giant tyrannosaurus was found in the Lance formation of Montana by Barnum Brown, a noted fossil hunter. Next in size is the corythosaurus, a crested dinosaur, which was found in the Red Deer river country. It is of the duck bill type, measuring 35 feet in length and about 17 feet in height Aside from the skeleton and skin a notable characteristic of this dinosaur is the indication of several sets ol muscles. Muscle tendons are also noted along Its tail. The corythosaurus was an herb eater. The form of an ornithomimus also has been mounted in the museum. The specimen is from the Belly river country, a fertile field for dinosaurs. Its head resembles an ostrich and its build suggests a bird. The bones ol Via nraat lira OPD hftllnW.

Another dinosaur searching expedition has been organized by the museum under the leadership of Mr. Brown, who is now en route for the Red Deer river country In Alberta, Canada. The fossil hunter will be Joined by two assistants and will establish headquarters on the banks of Sand creek, near the land of the dinosaurs. He hopes to make several important finds this summer and is particularly desirous of discovering a specimen of the palaeosclncus, which is known only by Its teeth. The museum collection of dinosaurs is probably the largest and most complete in the world. WELL TO ABSTAIN FROM FOOD Giving Stomach Occasional Rest Regarded as an Excellent Idea. Abstinence from food for a short period is a very excellent method of treatment for dyspepsia and kindred digestive disturbances. A raging sick headache disappears after giving the stomach a rest?by omitting to eat only one or two meals. It is common knowledge that a day or two of starving every two or three months enables one to do better work?more mental and physical work "can be accomplished without fatigue. It is advisable, however, when on a hunger strike to drink water. Copious libations of hot water?several quarts during the waking hours?will contribute to the feel1 * The watlir 1T1RV be llig U1 ncn-Mv?i?o' ? w taken a tumblerful or more every hour or two. Those persons who eat at irregular hours and partake of foods poorly cooked or of such composition as to cause indigestion will find the mild form of starving for 24 hours or longer a practice worthy of trial, for the resulting effects of the experiment will be gratifying. The rest (when one is on a hunger strike) given the digestive apparatus strengthens it and thus aids in conserving the health. A general feeling of rejuvenation invariably follows a few days' fasting.
