One of South Carolina's Successful New Industries Nothing: has proved more conclusively the resourcefulness of the women of South Carolina than their unprecedented initiative in the business world during; the strenuous years of 1021 and 1922. They have not only pursued the various old lines of work with energy and determination, but are constantly developing successfully new fields of endeavor. They are in the promotion of the flower industry of the state, appealing to the aesthetic side of our nature while going about the prosaic business of helping to make a living. The ladies of Pauline Home Demonstration club call themselves "The Dahlia Club." During the past year this club sold approximately $.r>50 worth of flowers. Most of these were sold through the home demonstration club market in Spartanburg. This market is known as the "Square Deal Market." This total sum included the money from the sales of not only the blossoms, but cuts, roots, etc. Quoting from a recent letter from Mrs. Ada Lancaster, one of the eight women who compose this club, she says. "Dahlias were the most popular flower, then the chrysanthemum, followed by the daffodil this spring. We would never have sold this amount without our club market. You see it has amounted to a niee little aum oouli of us, the largest sale being $140 and the smallest $10." Mrs. J. P. Harris of Lancaster county is known as the "flower lady," which attractive title has been acquired through her identification with the various flowers with which she is always surrounded. In a recent letter to the state marketing agent, she describes in an enthusiastic manner, her method of cultivation of sweet peas. As she cleared $300 on seven rows, 50 feet long, I am inclined to believe that her method of cultivation is the proper one. Her total receipts for flowers during 1921 amounted to $750. Mrs. Harris has the hearty cooperation of her husband in this enter prise. She writes that he wants to experiment with sweet peas planted in the cotton fields. He proposes to let them climb the stalks and then have them turned under as a legume. Mrs. I.ila Moore Stanton of McColl has gone into the florist, business on a rather large scale and is "making good" in the expressive slang of the | day. She conducts this business with out the help of skilled gardeners, only neighborhood ladies with an occasional man as helper. During the year 1921 she took in something over $f>100. All expenses including interest on the original investment of $10,000 are to he deducted. She is very ambitious for our state to have a horticultural society in order that there may be more interest in flowers as a cultivated study. She has organized five clubs, four of which are in Marlbujm ,v,iinfu *1,1,1 n;11~TU.. t?jj. t?uu vnf in i/iiiuii, int.* msv named club is working on the beautification of the Dillon cemetery. These are merely some specific examples of what has been accomplished. They dimly forecast the everwidening influence of home demonstration work in the years to come. Chinese Laborers Get Increase New York, June 5.?When you pay more for your Chinese firecrackers for the next Fourth of July, you may take comfort from the fact that the men who made them over in Canton are getting a 15 per cent increase in wages, according to a report of labor conditions in China made public today by the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, here. Canton, says this report, has been having successful strikes in hundreds rt" trades, with resultant increase in wages and improvement in the living c f the workmen. The makers of firecrackers got the lowest increase. Teahouse waiters got the highest increase, HO per cent. Masons, tailors, barbers and wooden box makers got increases of 40 per cent. Ox butchers were laised .'15 per cent, as were oil producers. Workers gaining HO per cent included mechanics, makers of foreign i uresses and laundryim-n. Wine distill ers got a Zb per cent raise; so did painters and tea pickers. Mat-shed builders had their wages increased 20j per cent. The 59 Presbyterian missionaries in Canton report that contributions to their work must be increased to cor respond with the new scale of wages and the higher cost of living. This missionary force supervises 3P> organized churches with a communicant membership of (5,279. Canton also has ">3 Christian schools, including a medical college with a school for nurses, a school for the blind and a college of theology, all of which are affected by the increased scae. To a lesser degree the higher cost affects all the Presbyterian missionary work in China, the Presbyterians having 538 missionaries throughout the republic. Prices are advancing for the whole according to a report made by J. E. Weekes of the Canton Union Middle School to the Presbyterian Foreign Board. Cities of the ancient Philistines arc being excavated by a prominent British areheologist n t.h#? belef that many mysteres of this very old race will come to light. The cities of Ascalon and Gaza are row being worked and the "tells," or artificially formed hills nea?* these cities, will undoubtedly reveal information as to the race history < f the peoples who inhabited this district before Moses. For 3,000 years nothing is known of the history of the Philistines. Ruins of Greek and Roman buildings, constructed at a later, date, will have to be unearthed before | teaching the cities of the Philistines. ' Improvements in Hair * T Dressing- Establishments Chicago, June 6.?The hair-dressing parlor where the same comb and ,r brush encountered many heads each ^ day without even the formality of e submission to soap and water is a a thing of the past, according to Mrs. ^ M. F. Baird of Chicago, a prominent c member of the American Cos- ^ meticians' Association. Today sanitation is the rule in an occupation to ^ which fifteen years ago it was a v word without meaning, she assert- ^ ed, and clean white aprons h.ive supplanted rubious black ones. Improve- 1 ment in safeguards of patron-.' health n has accompanied an increase in the ? number of hair-dressing and beauty * parlors during the last ten years, s she added, of from 2,500 to anproxi- c mutely 10,000, exclusive of residential work done by 20,000 women, and * the number is constantly increasing. ? Organizations of persons engaged e in hair-dressing and related work in- n elude, besides the American Cos- a meticians' association, the National n Hair Dressers' association, which will 11 convene at St. Ixmis, Mo., July 31August 2. 1' "Fifteen years ago," said. Mrs. * Baird, "the operators in hair-dress- * ing had never heard of sterilization, ' and did not know the meaning of the a j word sanitation. Women leaned for- 1 ward over bowls to have their heads 11 washed and perched up in barber 1 chairs when they had a massage. The a use of electricity was limited. Today sterilizers are found conspicuous- *' ly displayed in every booth, antisep- 1 tics are used generously and massage ^ chairs that are suited for the work t have been designed, while in sham- . pooing many improvements have made it a comfort rather than a torture. Schools giving girl3 scientific training have been established and today in many states in the f union there are efforts being made ( to have state laws passed that will r put this work on even a higher stan- t dard. ( "To this end the American Cos- j metieians' Association was formed, t The founders designed to promote j uniform legislation for the profes- ] sion of cosmeticians, to provide meth- c ods of carrying on and systematiz- t ing the business of the membership, ? and to promote the development of the occupation." 1 The National Hair-Dressers' As- c sociation, according to its secretary, s Mrs. A. F. Cosgrove of San Fran- f cisco, is organized to create styles j in America in artistic and becoming t head dresses: to see that the heat . wiggs, toupees, and the like, are t made; to have milliners see the size s of head dresses before making head ] sizes in hats; and in other ways to j promote and elevate the business of j hair dressing and hair work. 1 5. C. Jumps from 7th to 4th Place in Fourth Corps Area t 1 South Carolina shows an increase ] iron) 28 per cent to 56 per cent of her 1 quota secured for the Citizens Mili- 1 tary Training Camps during the past ] week. The state has jumped from i seventh to fourth place among the < eight states in the Fourth Corps Area ] in the number of boys in her quota al- j ready signed up, however with more . than 100 vacancies to yet be tilled. ] B. C. Riley, as vice president of the j Military Training Camps Association j in charge of the civilian agences assisting the government in recruiting \ work, urges the citizens of the state , to get behind this movement and urge i the young men to take advantage of , the opportunity to equap themselves at government expense for greater , service in case of emergency. Be- i cause some of the states have been a < little backward in recruiting their , quota, the war department has extend- , ed the time until June 15tli, in which i to do this work. I Emphasis is being placed on the j fact that young men who attend these ( camps will have a tine opportunity to j engage in all kinds of athletics and j have a good time under proper guid- , ance, in addition to receiving army-in- j struction with all expenses paid, and ' that they will benefit greatly mentally j and physically. Any young man over j 17 years of age is eligible for the Red ( or Elementary Course, while the more advanced courses are designed for men \ with some experience or boys who attended camp last summer. These camps will be held at Camp McCIellan, Alabama, July 27th, to August 26th, where instruction in In- "j I fantry, Cavalry, Field Artillery, Engineers will be given also at Fort Bar- ' rancas, Florida, July 27th to August ' 26th where instruction in Coast Artillery work will be given.

Southeastern Express Pays Dividend t t Atlanta, Ga., June 7.?At a meeting c of the board of directors of the Southeastern Express Compony held in At- c lanta Tuesday, a semi-annual dividend f of 3V& per cent on the outstanding ^ stock of the company was declared, v payable July 1 to stockholders of rec- , ord on the books of the company as of f June 19. I; President John B. Hoekaday, in his ^ report to the directors, was optimistic t Ir regard to business conditions in the t South, declaring that he had noted a v gradual improvement since the first of p the year and that the outlook for the a future is very encouraging. n The Southeastern is owned entirely by people of the South. ired of Tigh Rentals, i Tenants Form Uriion Mexico City, June 7.?l'jred of .pay>g high rentals, tenants of Mexico ity have formed a union and ar/ ven threatening a general strike in 11 industries in the capital unless heir demands for a 75 percent decease in all rents is not met by the indlords. The union is recruited from the jwer classes, but is being led by ^ell-known labor organizers who ave already staged a number of emonstrations and have announced hat they resort to violence if | ecessary to- achieve their ends, itreet parades are held at least three imes a week and several have been o riotous that police reserves were ailed out. The newspapers El Universal and excelsior, which have consistently pposed the union, have been threatned numerous times and several ights ago a rowdy gang of low rent dvocates attempted to set fire to the ewspaper buildings. Police were lecessary to drive them off. The tenants are not at all modest rt their demands. Besides asking hat their rents be reduced 75 percent hey also insist that the landlords be orced to make all sorts of repairs, nd installations on their properties, ^he landlords assert the demands are mpossible to meet if present high axes are maintained by the federal ,nd district governments. The idea of lower rents is catchng hold in other cities of the repubic, and there is talk of organizing a tenants' Party to compete in the naional and state elections. 'lans For Restatement Of Existing Law New York, June 5.?Definite and ar reaching plans to bring about a comprehensive and concisfe restatenent of the existing law, both federal ind state, and to unify the methods >f teaching law in all schools and iniversitiesjl were announced today >y the American Acamedy of Juris>rudencef an organization founded in .914 to co-operate with the Amerian Bar Association in simplifying he laws and the machinery for the idministration of justice. The project is being financed by the egal profession, and the profits accruing from publication and other sources will revert to an endowment und created by the American Bar Association and the Academy of Juisprudence for the perfection of the vork of restatement, and other acivities for- the improvement of law ind the administration of justice. Bearing upon this, the academy pro)oses to establish a central office in *Jew York to assemble and distribute egal knowledge throughout the counry. , Among the the noted lawyers idenified with the movement are William I. Taft, Charles E. Hughes, Elihu Root, Alton B. Parker, Martin W. Littleton, Paul D. Cravath, Roscoe r'ound, Dean ol iiarvara i^aw ^>cnooi; Hampton L. Carson, William Broimith, James Brown Scott, Secretary )f" the Carnegie Foundation for Peace, and many others from all >arts of the country. James DeWitt \ndrews, Chairman of the American Bar Association's committee on classifications and restatement, has been n active charge of the work. The proposed restatement is contained in a comprehensive library made up of three units coordinated :>y a common classification providing iasy reference from one to the other, fhe first unit consists of two volume? ivith an institutional, philosophic anulysis of the law bringing out all elemental relationships as wel las rules and leading precedents. The second unit contains 20 volumes, embracing a restatement of the whole body of the actual law as it now exists, with exhaustive references and itations to authorities. Unit three is made up of 100 volumes eontainng cases selected by leading legal scholars from the American and Rnglish reports beginning with the year Books and extending through .o the present and current reports, hus giving a continuous account >f the growth of* the legal system. When the Government Runs the Switch Board Public ownership of a utility causes lome wry faces in England, when the liritish telephone system, run by the !>ost office, is contemplated. It happened that Fin gland received in th" >ame week the report of an official :ommittee which had been seeking the eason why the British telephone sys;em is not a succeiB and the reports of :.he telephone system of the United States for the previous year. In the UniteJ /States the 2G large issociated private companies and the >,000 and more independent concern? nade a showing of efficiency that is inknown in England, where both the elephone and the telegraph are heavy harges upon the public purse. "The telephone system In America,' me Britiah comment runa./'is as diferent from what we know here under he same name as an articJp in general ise is different frpm a r^yre and exensive luxury. In tbia country eery ew people not actually engaged in lusiness use the telephone at all. In he United States, even in rural disricts, it is quite common to find the elephone installed under conditions /hich in this country would seem to ireclude the possibility of having such convenience."?The Nation's Busless.
