Suggestions for Remodeling Us( Sea son'a Krofk. \?w \oik, \tar<h 28 For ihQttO ol us Who havor as l( were, slacks and stacks of passe frocks to ho remodel cd, this should prove a banner season. Fashion has been very lonlont with our Utile economics for several seasons past, hut this Spring, whether It la the war, with Its consequent deprivations to many, which has turned her In this direction, ??r just heeause she fancies evolving the odd little conceptions and combinations one se?w on every side, certain It Is that economy just now Is hot i n: made very easy and very fasci nating. Let us sgpppse for tnstaiuv. that one has a dark blue serge dress of last sea "toon. It may not ho worn to any great extent, hut nevertheless It needs some thing to make It look more up to date. We may add a deep skirt yoke and a high girdle, with perhaps a hretelle over ouch shoulder, of black satin or moire. Cuffs and collar, too, add greatly to the elYect, When cleverly done, the frock has none of the made over apiHMirauce It would have had some seasons hack, but Is a delight - fully chic little costume In the new deep waist effect, for shopping and general daytime wear, Coatee pep lums, quillings, bands and Insets of contrasting material may work won ders, tiM>, with slightly worn frocks, suits, and blouses. Should a hem be slightly frayed or worn, whether It be the lower edge of blouse or skirt, one The Sport Skirt and Jabot Blouse of those .stiff, quaint. lltt.lt* quillings, nr n contrasting hand may be set on to cover it most attractively. Around the bottom of a sleeve, which has not just the most, becoming curve or tin ish. a double ruffle of picot edged (i cor vette, handed through the middle with n narrow black velvet ribbon may he added, the ribbon being drawn as tightly n* desired and tied in a perky little bow. 1 >eep cuffs of satin or taf feta with a matching collar may be at tached to a blouse which has an unbe coming or old-fashioned sleeve, or an ugly neck finish. When these deep cuffs nre used the sleeve, if sufficient ly full, may be gathered into the cuff, thereby lending another modish touch, for much fulness is noticed in the new sleeves. Long, short, and three quarter length sleeves will be worn this Spring and Summer. There is still a strong ten dency to the transparent effects of tin1 Fall and Winter. That this should be so for Summer is quite logical. Net is nearly as popular for sleeves and bodices as chiffon and Georgette, and it wears equally well. Many a pretty taffeta or satin frock is being made with net sleeves and upi>cr bodice, and many a last season's taffeta or satin dross is being remodeled In this way. "THE BIRTH OF A NATION" Will Be Seen at Sumter Three Nights Next Week. A development- no one would have be lieved possible a few years ago will be seen in Sumter, at the Academy of Music, April 6-7-8, of I). W. Griffith's "The Birth of a Nation" as a regular theatrical attraction playing to abso lute capacity at a $2 scale. "The Birth of a Nation" is indeed more than a film, for nearly 100 persons are era ployed in the fnechanicai effects and the music during the unreeling of Its 12,000 feet of celluloid ; yet not a word is spoken from the stage during the two hours and three quarters' per formance. Mr. Griffith's photo-enter tainment combines a pictorial survey of Civil War history and of Ku Klux Klan days with a love story based on Thomas Dixon's "The Clansman." The battle scenes, engaging thousands of combatants drilled with the well-known Griffith elan and realism, are partic ularly effective. After seeing it, some optimists are rash enough to predict that the historical novels of the fu ture will be told in pictures rather than in sentences. Certainly the "indoor drama" cannot henceforth hope to cope with the photoplay, so far as spec tacular features are concerned. "The Birth of a Nation" will be seen at the Academy of Music, Sumter, for three nights beginning Thursday, Ap ril Gth, with a Matinee Friday and Saturday. ? Adv. Bethune to Have Paper. Mr. J. E.

PHOCAEA A HISTORIC TOWN Had High Place in tho Annate of Famo Tw?nty-#tvo Centuries or More Ago. Dispatches from Turkey hay that the little city of Phocaea haw been burned It is only one more town awallowod by devouring war, but what memories its name awakens! More than hU ' hundred years before Christ Phocaea , was tho homo of a rare of sallora as : during and skillful an those who later made tho famo of Plymouth and Sa lem. ita trading captain* Bailed from the 11 lack sea to tho Pillars of Her cules which we know under the pro Bale naiuo of Straits of tilbraltar? broke the monopoly 01 Tyre and Car i thago, carried back hides and silver j oro from their barbaric customers In : Oaul' and Spain and rounded tho city of Marseilles. They were fighters, too. When the Persian hordes had rolled over the (.ire ok colonies of Asia Minor tho Pho- j caeans declared that exilo was better than slavery. Thoy sank a lump of iron In tho harbor, swore never to re turn until it should rise to the sur face. and sailed away to Corsica. Put this time fato was unkind, the Car thaginians and Etruscans joined forces against tho (Ireek intruder, and In a dream one of the homesick exiles saw tho lump of Iron floating on the waves of the dear old harbor at borne. Tho Phocaeans came back, to share tho kaleidoscopic changes of Ureok history, doze under the Iron peace of Koine, suffer the hardships which wore inflicted on tho "roar guard of Europe" when worse barbarians than tho Persians came out of the East. And now their little town Is In flames onco moro and a new chapter ? per haps a new volume ? opons for the distant grandsons of the daredevils who traded and pirated in the west em Mediterranean 26 centuries ago. BECOME USED TO SUFFERING Soldiers In the Trenches Accustom Themselves to the Hard Condi tions of Modern War. A medical observer of the effects produced on Pronch soldiers by pro longed service in the trenches notes with apparont surprise that in a few months they lose all fear of the sud den death which constantly threatens them, cease to thrill to the horrors that are their daily spectacles, and when wounded Beem almost indifferent to pain. No doubt these observations are true ? of the men who prove capable of accu8tomi?g themselves to tho hard conditions of modern war. Equally credible, however, are tho re ports coming from all the armios of men in considerable numbers whoso nerves will not Btand. tho strain of the trenches and who are soon re duced by them to a state of imbecil ity or insanity. As for tho impassi bility of tho hardier faction, it is only another illustration of the familiar fact that the human mind cannot long respond actively to stimulations that are continuous and monotonous. Ono mangled corpse is a frightful specta cle when first seen, but when there aro hundreds or thousands of them in view, day after day, they cease to cre ate any emotion. That tho soldiers become compara tively insensible to pain only shows that they have acquired, by living much as savages do, a trait which every student of tho lower races has found in them. Tho red Indian could sing whilo being burned at the stake, not becauso ho was notably courago-_ ous, but because his sufferings were much loss than would bo those of a civilized victim of the same torture. Wanted Tax on Movie Fans. Movies wore characterized as luxury during a debate in the Massachusetts state senate in an unsuccessful at tempt to impose a tax of 1 par cent of the gross iocoipts upon moving pic ture houses. The opponents of the measure de clared that the movie men are not en Joying a luxury, but are engaged In a business. It was suggested that a tax of one cent be levied on each ticket to the movies and that the patrons of these places be required to pay the extra cent. This led to suggestions that base ball fans, football fans and spectators of other athletic sports be required to pay & cent extra for each ticket, the cent to go to the state. The movie taxation bill was voted down, however, and the discussion of proposed new schemes of taxation was brought to a halt. Encouraging Matrimony. The municipal council at Prades, near Perplgnan, France, actuated by a desire to encourage matrimony, has passed a resolution to the effect that the government should select hence forth as prefect of the eastern Pyren nes a bachelor who shall be un der obligation of marrying with in two months, In order that he may be able to maintain a fitting po sition in the department.
