AMUSIHO TO WOMEN TODAY WMt WM Csast?tre?" Vr** to Mid? Vleurlan Day? $*em? tm what Rleisuleoe New. Itt .a book written in mid-Victoria* day? coneernlnf the proper manners of well-bred women appeara the state ment that a woman with graying hair ia "hardly respectable without a cap/' and that the woman of thirty-Ate who does not don the. cap as signal of the fact of her advanced age has some thing of a "masculine aspect." Such statements are amusing and sometimes Just a little annoying-es pecially to tho woman of thirty-five. She consoles herself with the fact that times have changed enormously since those days and that now so long as a woman ls slender enough to wear clothes selected by eighteen-year-old girls she IB seldom criticized for * wearing them. But don't delude yourself Into think ing thac all women of thirty-five In mid Victorlnn days donned the cap of old age. Empress Eugenie wasn't married until she was twenty-seven, and she continued to be regarded as one of the most charming and beautiful wom en in Europe for many years. * It is really no now thing for women of thirty-five, forty or over to retain their youthful charms and change very little their mode of dress or behavior as time goes on. Possibly our present mode of life, our athletics, our style of clothes, tend more to the retaining of youthful appearance and real youthfulness than did conditions of the Nineteenth century. OF INTEREST TO ALL IRISH In Region Adjacent to French City of Cannes St. Patrick Received Religious Training. "For true appropriateness Cannes might better be chosen for a discus sion of Irish affairs than for an at tempt to solve European financial problems," says a bulletin of the Na tional Geographic society, In regard to the French Mediterranean winter re sort, meeting place of the allied su preme council. "Cannes has its tie with Ireland," the bulletin goes on to explain, "because lt was In a monas tery on one of two little islands Just off the Cannes shore that St. Patrick received the religious training which fired him with missionary zeal nnd led to his conversion of the Irish. "St. Honor?t founded, in 410, on the smaller of the two Islands which bears his miine, tho monastery in which St. Patrick studied, lt was one of tho fotintnlns of learning and mis sionary effort during the Middle ages. According to a legend, the island was infested by snakes and St. Honor?t miraculously drove them out-an cx (uitph whl?h his follower, St. Patrick, lu supposed to have put to good use In Erlui "In .splie of its many letters Cannes la properly pronounced ns a single syl lable, like tho English verb 'cnn,'" says the bulletin. Ask Much of Inventor. The helicopter, a machine capable of vertical flight, with which British inventors have already attained par tial success, hus caused plans to be made by the government for a $200, OOO competition open to the world for a further Improved design. The con ditions, which If met would make the helicopter practical and revolutionize the science of flying are: It must bo capable of rising to a height of 2,000 feet under ita own power, carrying one man and one hour's fuel supply. It must be able to remain stationary over a ground object for a half hour in a wind up to 20 miles an hour. It must bo able to land safely In any wind up to 20 miles an hour without horizontal motion, and with the en gine cut off, and must be able to main tain horizontal flight at a height of 2,000 feet at a speed of not less than 60 miles an hour. A Lost Art With Him. Warren G. Sayre of Wabash, an at torney and formerly a state repre sentative, sent a letter several weeks ago -to the county clerk of Boone coun ty, asking for information concerning a divorce suit.

Ruins of a Babylonian city dating back 2,000 years before the Christian era have been discovered at K?lsa Nyek, Asia Minor. The city was named Bums; lt seems to have been one of the earliest homes of feminism, if not, Indeed, of woman's emancipa tion. The ruins prove that the com munity which lived there was partly milltury and portly commercial. Cunei form inscriptions give many odd de tails of the organization of tho city, which \vn8 governed by a prince and a prefect, osslsted by a princess and A woman prefect, whose powers are said to have been precisely equal to those of their male colleagues. Records of a regular postal delivery service have been found, the letters being written on baked tiles of a circular shape. References to an early form of the bank check system have been discovered, a bearer check being found which contains instructions to the ad dressee to pay to the person named iii lt a stated sum. Township Has Ten Residents. Tho most peaceful place on earth at present ls said to he the township of Le-Tartre-Guadtan in the Depart ment Selne-ot-OIse, not far from Paris. Never large, tho war has reduced Its population to an even ten souls, only four of whom aro cllglblo to office. But each French communo under 500 inhabitants must hovo ton1 nldermen. I^e Tartre-Gaudrnn elects ber first four without a (lisseatlng vote and then In vites six outsiders to help steer her ennoo of state. The annual budget ls 1,500 francs. The present clerk says, "Il n'y n rien a faire." His predecessor claims that In one deende ho recorded three births and two deaths, but no marriages. Yet to have this comrurmo dissolved or annexed would cost Im mense sums and make ten persons un happy for ever after. Improvement on Banjo. A new banjo ls specially designed to meet tho requirement of dance or chestras, stage performances nfid ploy ing In huge halls. Tho banjo, de scribed In Popular Mechanics Mnga zlne, bas a wooden sounding boord set Just back of the bend. A horn, owning from the space between the bend and sounding hoard, passes through the frame of the Instrument and throws tue entire volume of sound forward Into thc hall. A second bonrd covers the hack of the Instrument. This not only Increases tho volumo of sound but, by variations In construc tion, tho quality of tono can be con? trolled to suit special purpose?. GAME IN ARCTIC ABUNDANT j Hunter? Hiv? Ha? th? Beet .????? They H av? Bnjeyetf fer th? Ljut Twenty Year?. According to mall advice* from Nome, Alaska, this ls the periodic year pt abundant wild animal Ute In the Arctic regions. Karly whiter, with tremendously large ice floes In the Behring sea, gave the natives of Kutsebue sound the most profltuble polar bear hunting La 20 years. More of these animals' have been shot or killed to date than for many years combined. Only In exceptionally severe winters does this nomad of the Arctic abound so far south. Accordingly Northwest Alas kans prepared for a long, cold winter. The white king of the northern regions ls a combined hunter-sullor hobo. He bas no fixed habitat, but goes where game ls most plentiful, coming down with the lee pack from the North when the seal, walrus and whale move. Un'dke any other animal, the polar boar keeps to the Ice, ond will seek shore only when cut off from open water. It ls the best swimmer of the animal world. Loose-Jointed, un? gainly, silly looking, with a skin that uta badly, the creuture is, however, very fleet footed. No game laws will ever guard the great polar bear, for ho lives La a region little frequented' by human beings and keeps entirely out of sight. Every 20 years or oftener a severe winter wlU Induce them to travel 1,000 miles southward and thus become the victims of the long-distance rifles of the hunters. . ' FIRST ON AMERICAN STAGE "Beggar's Opera" Caused 8ome Con? troversy When lt Was Produced at New York In 1751. The first musical play presented upon the American stage was "The Beggar's Opera," by John Gay, which wan produced at the Nassau Street theater in New York 171 years ago. A considerable proportion of the 10, 000 people then comprising the popu lation of New York attended the per formance, although there were not a few wdio protested against tho "god less affair" and threatened to "hnvb the law on lt." The Murray & Kean company, a band of comedians who went to New York from Philadelphia, was respon sible for the production. It was a benefit performance for Thomas Kenn, who personally colled on tho leading I citizens and sold tickets. The per formance began nt 0 o'clock and was over at 8:45. A harlequin dance, a pierrot dance and "The Drunken Peasant" were presented as "entertain ments between the acts." "The Beggar's Opera" was long popular, and some of Its Unes are still quoted, among them: "How happy could I be with either, were t'other dear charmer away I"-Chicago Jour nal. She Was Used to lt. A boy on a bicycle whizzed around a corner and knocked a woman down. She must hnve been built of something more durable than bones, for before the boy could right his wheel and get off lt she had scrambled to her feet, and, seeing his intention of first aid, remarked : "Thank you, son, I'm real obliged." The youngster was awful sorry, and was saying so, In tho honest way a boy has, when she Interrupted. "That's all right! This makes the' third time Tve been run over and I ought to be used to lt by now. The first upset-automobile-put me In bed for a week. Tho second-fender caught me-only laid me up two days and I shall probably bo as spry as ever tomorrow ; back hurts a little, but what I'm thanking you for ls you aro tue only one of thc three who took the trouble to feel sorry," Which shows how easy a thing is when you get used to Itl-Nannie Lancaster in tho Washington Star. Jews of New York. There are 1,000,000 Jews in Greater New York-nearly 80 per cont of the entire population, observes Foreign Language Information Service. This number equals the totol population of Philadelphia, or Detroit and Cleve land put together, or Buffalo, San Francisco and Pittsburgh combined or twice tho population of Boston. Tho 1,000,000 are distributed as fol lows: East side of Manhattan, 83,000; Harlem, 282,000; Bronx, 811,000; WU llnmsburgh, 208,000; Brownsville 101, iOOO ; East New York, 108,000 ; Borough park, 00,000; Queens, 23,000; Rich mond, 0,000, and scattered, 127,000.

Law-Abiding Bootlegger. Tho philosophy of the modern boot legger ls illustrated in n story now going the rounds In Washington-a story which has carried an appeal to some of >ho highest olllclals of tho government. It seems tbnt a "regular customer" called up his own particular bootlegger a night or two ago and asked him what he had In stock. "Well," replied the B. L., "I hove some Scotch, some rye, some bourbon, a little gin and a little vermouth." "Have you nay absinthe?" Inquired the customer. "H-U, no, mau," carno back in an astonished voice, "lt's against the law to sell absinthe," LHkESTONE COJLLBGB IN HANDS I Of B*pUata o? tb? Stete mm Own CT?, Sitares of Stock Are Given. (Gaffney (Ledger.) Limestone College now belongs to the South Carolina 'Baptists. N 'For some time the work of making the transfer has been under way, and on Thursday the Anal papers were signed by Dr. W. C. tHamrick, chair man of the board of trustees, a copy of the transfer was recorded in tho Clerk of Court's ofllce, and the origi nal forwarded to the proper ofllcials. The transaction consisted of tho transfer of four hundred shares of stock of Limestone College, formerly Cooper-Limestone Institute, to tho State Convention of tho Baptist do nominatiu?' of South Carolina. This transfer makes available on [operating fund in control of tho Bap tist Stato Convention which is ex pended on all its institutions of learn ! lug. The amount immediately be coming available to Limestone Col lego under this head is about $2,300, and additional amounts will be re ceived from time to time. The transfer will also entitle Lime stone to $200,000 of the educational funds of the Seventy-five Million cam paign when the full amount shall have been collected. Limestone ls now in better shape than ever before in the history of the institution. In its early days it was a struggle to keep the college going. This burden fell upon the shoulders of Prof. 'H. P. Orifflth, and to him is due the major portion of praise for carrying the work on when the fight was fierce. In 1896 Capt. Griffith re signed the presidency. He was suc ceeded by Dr. John Mack, who hold the presidency for three years. Then came Dr Lee Davl.s Lodge from tbe State of Maryland. Dr. Lodge was young and enthusiastic, full of pep and ginger and determination. The college, however, was not strong In finances, and it has taken all the combined qualiflcafTo'ns of the genial Doctor to keep the institution going. As a rulo college presidents are mighty poor business men, but Dr. Lodge has proven to be an exception to the rule. He has managed to make oiuls meet, although at times this has boen dlllicult, and very often he has hoon able to show a balance on the right side of tho ledger. Now that tho endowment fund for Limestone ls well undor way and new sources of rovonuo havo been tapped hy tho transfer, the Institution is expected to make more rapid strldos in tho future than In the past.

The Baptist congregation has a unique plan In its campaign for rais ing funds for the erection of its new church building on Wister street. The idea is to solicit one dollar from each person, take the name, and when building is begun print the names of each donor, the Hst to be known SB the "Dollar Donor Club," said Hst to be placed with other re cords In the corner-stone, which will await possibly future generations to road the Hst and see then what BOH?O people back lu the good year 192 2 were doing and thinking.
