Misg Mauleen Harris, program

Prof. Sell said that “Natural re
sources ave ali the things that
nature has given that are useful®
to man.” Among some of his other
comments, he said that “any na-|
tion that uses all its wvaried re-|
sources wisely and judiciously|
and has resources in abundance|
becomes highly civilized.” He re
minded his audience of the m«!
pography of Georgia by the aid of
hops for which he iz noted.

' In discussing the second topic:
"‘Water", Prof. Sell wraid there

horse power was available.
Second—Topographic conditions
of land are suited to the develop
ment of water power.
Third—" Fall line” from Augusta
to Columbus causes a big change
in 'altitude of the land
Fourth—FEven distribution .of
water. Prof. Sell's talk was both
instructive and interesting.

County Home Demonstration Council to
Meet Tuesday Afterncen at 3 O’clock
i BY ANN DOLVIN
i The county home demonstration
icuuncfl will meet on Tuesday,
February 26, at 3 p. m., at the court
house for a leader training meet
ing in clothing. Miss Leonora An
derson, extension specialist in cloth
ing will be in charge of the meet
ling. All clothing project leaders
for the community elubs and the
‘councfl memberg and others inter
jested in this particular project are
tinvited and urged to be present,
| Clothing will be the project of
emphasis in the extension clubs in
Clarke county this year and it is
important that all club members
{hbecome familiar with the program
lof work early so that the goals may
'he reached by the end of the
yvear, :
The demonstrations planned for
ithe year in clothing have been
!ham-(l on the subject of buymanship
{or consumer educition and are as
| follows:
| I.—~Buying and testing of fabrics
or textiles.
2 —Study of labels,
3—~—Home made values versus
| ready made values,
4.—-Stocking wearing tests.
Buying and testing of fabricsiand
textiles are the subject which have
| been discussed in the community
ih(_)mc demonstration clubs during
| this month.
} Shakespeare has said: “Costly
thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not expressed in fancy; rich
not gaudy;
[ For the apparel oft proclaim the
| man."”
‘ Clothes of today not only serve
'for protection but express to some
extent the wearer's character as
well ag his sense of beauty. It is
[said that one-eighth of the world
|still lives without clothing, How
|ever, civilized countries hdve rated
| clothing second only to food among
| the necessitieg of existance. Clothes
i are of great importance to us and
|it is necessary that we know
something about the fabrics that
l‘;n into them if we would be wise
' consumers.
All fabries in eommon can be
| classified under the five textile
| headlines, namely; silk and wool,
| the animal fibers; cotton, rayon,
l and linen the vegetable source
{ Variations in texture and finish are
{ achieved by combinations of dif
| ferent yarns, types of weaving
methos of dyeing, Dbleaching.

‘shrinking. napping, ireating with
‘vhemica\s, calendering and mercer
fzation. One or a combination ot
|tsevm'n] of these processes make
ia fabric smoothe or rough, lustr
ous or dull, light or heavy, soft or
‘stlff. light or heavy, soft or stiff.
For example when cotton is mer
f«m'izod it is treated with chemicals
that shrink and untwist the fiber
‘making it round, smooth and lus
troug and about 25 per cent strong
er tha ¥ ordinary cotton,
In this world of constantly
changing styles, lovely new fab
ries, alluring advertisements, and a
lavish display of “clothes” by many
of our neighbors, ig it any wonder
that many of us forget about com
mon sense and spend more than
we can afford in “trying to keep
up with the Joneses.” Competition
in dress is an immortal tempter
and exists because of instintive
love for beauty., Extravagance and
luxury pursue their way and hold
scepter of taste and excite admir
ation and envy but the privilege
is costly. Yet in this ‘“go getter”
age it Nz smart tc be economical.
Kconomy is the younger sister of
‘'wealth and travels over roads of
\l)udgets.
| There arve two ways of buying
‘One may buy on the impulse of the
‘moment, without the knowledge ot
his needs but the result is sure to
i be whstefulness af{d dissatisfacgiony
or one may follow the clothing
)budget. which enables one to dress
smartly on a limited income and
'results in a balanced wardrobe.
A budget affords much in addi
%tiun to good apprearance; it en
‘ables one to use his money in such
‘a way ag to acquire what he needa
| and can afford. Thinking of little!
things in dregs soon brings the
realization that it means laying the
foundations for thrift in a large
way. Fifteen to twenty per cent
{of the income is devoted to cloth
|in_...r and is set aside to meet the
needs of the individual members
of the family. This amount is ap
portioned for outer and under
clothes, and for accessories; on the
‘average 70 per cent for outer
|clo[hea, 20 per cent for under
jclothes and 10 per cent for acces
on'ies and sundries.
If the clothing allowance is small
!good quality rather than quantity
should have first consideration.
A good garment insures the feel
iing of satisfaction, always looks
i well and out wears several cheap
conspiciously shabby ones,
| An individual color scheme and
clothes worked out to meet the
needs of the wardrobe, will not
only save money but will lend dis
'tinction and beauty to the wearer.
There is no better field in which
to practice economy than in the
matter of clothes, Follow Shake
spffare’s advice and “put money
in thy purse,” therefore,, if you
would make a clothes budget and
then Kkeep within it.

Press Institute’s Friday Evening
Entertainment Was a Great Success
By LUCY W. NICHOLSON
The Georgia Press Institute
Friday evening's entertainment
program at the annual dinner
sponsored by the Savannap Morn
ing News and Evening Press, pre
gided over by Miss Emily Wood
ward and assisted by the women
of the association, wag a great
success.
Hershel V .Jenkins, presidentof
the Savannah Morning News and
Evening Press, when thanked for
this most delightful evening, said
he knew nothing about it (of
course he was the host as it hap
pened) he assured his guests
that it was Miss Emily Wood
ward’'s dinner—she deserved all
the credit for this most charm
ng entertainment, :
Well he could say he knew noth
ing about this gay dinner party—
no one did, beforehand, but Mis®
Woodward and her committee on
entertainment for the program
was kept a dead secret. There
was nothing but mysterious smiles
and shakes of the head and, per
haps. an arched brow to be had
for the asking about this pro
gram.
- Not a vacant chair was at the long
tables filling the enormous floot
space, as was predicted. But il
could be added that the men as
they filed in looked just a bit ap
prehensive as Miss Woodward had
suggested that asbestos suits for
the men might prove wise meas
ures against the “roasting™, for
this was a . “gridiron dinner."
However, the men wore mnothing
more adamant than poker faces
and the usual dinner “tux” and
the stiff-starched “biled shirts,”
far from dear tp any man,
As the guests took their places
at the tables, a gong was rung
and Miss Woodward announced to
the guests that the program -was
“fresh @and dated”. And so lt(
proved to be! ‘
The favors at the plates were
the most attractive lusclous straw
berries in boxes—cellophaned to
the queen’s taste. These were
brought up for the occasion by the
vice president of the Florida Press
- Association, Mr. McAlphin.
After a most delicious four
course dinner, the fun began with
Miss Woodward's presentation of
)(‘ups to the distinguished members
' of the press institute—men only.
The list was as follows:
A cup was presented to Hal
Stanley for the distinguisheq sci
entific work as the best political
fence Dbuilder; Jere Moore for
making the greatest number of
escapes from Milledgeville; Thom
as Seawell for his adeptness while
at the convention for reaming
around late and arriving with
bottle tightly corked: O. B. Kee
ler, that patriarch, for being the
best managed papa; Austin Dean
for producing eagles with more
spurs than feathers; Trox Banks
ton for meretorious services along
other scientific lines; Paul Sey
dell for success in learning hest
a husband's place; D. B. Turner
for being the greatest influencein
his county (Bullock) and being
the first gyllable; John Paschall
for making the most successful
flight from alcohol to 3.2; Milton
| Fleetwood for services in the bat
itle for legalizing wine and beer;
a pepper box was presented Dud
ley Glass as it was suggested that
he really needed more pep in his
column; McKenzie Perry was pre
isented a salt shaker for he is the
voungest and therefore the fresh
'est editor; Harmon Caldwell was
given a baby cup for being an in
lt‘ant president of a state Univer
sity: John E. Drewry a ‘beeker for
merit; Jack Williams a cup for
secientifically political letters, a sen
ate race ete.: Kirk. Sutlive a
shaving mug for he would doubt
less need it as he would make

“Double Door,” University Theater Play
To Be Preserted March 5-6 Relates Story
Of New York’s Famcus “House of Mystery”
By DYAR MASSEY
New York's “House of Mystory'"
with ali its foreboding majesty
stood deserted. ,-On Friday, the’
13th of March, 1931, as the shades;
of night stealthily spread through‘
the old Fifth avenue mapsion, |
Ella Wendel, last imfmediate
member of the wealthy k:tw York
family, died. / !
Two vears later when “I‘)ouble'
Door,” leading mystery ‘thriller”
of the stage season,” was a Broadv}
way sensation, theater-goers
quickly discovered the analogy
between the play and popular
legends which surrounded the
Wendel mansion on Fifth avenue.
YAlmosft five vyears to the night
after Ella Wendel's - death, the
University theater brings to Ath~|

drama as its winter presentatio'n.“
'J,’tl:e student dramatic unit seeks
to capture the mystery spirit ‘of
“Double Door” for the- perform-l
ances at Seney-Stovall Memorial|
theater, March 5 and 6. |
From the fourth floor of 'her!
gloomy dwelling” only three days!|
before her death Ella X’Vendell
looked upon Fifth avenue for the
last time in the room where shc’
and five sisters had learned their
reading, writing and arlthmetic‘
during Civil war days. Amid
those memories of the past she!
was standing—llean, tall, in a
rusty black dress, rubbing at me\
dust on the window pane and|
gazing far beyond her dour re-l
treat. '
She had lived in the four-story[
brick mansion since 1856, surviv-l
ing her brother and sisters whose
sole alm was to keep intact the
Wendel multi-millions. Her, lltel
passed in the solemn stillness of
the dwelling whose front doors|
had not been unbarred and whoxel
windows had not been unshutter

“Buy, but never sell New Yorkl
real estate,” John Wendel, brother
of the six sisters, had said and
with the pride of highest aristoc

FIRST CHAPTER
THE THRILLING SERIAL
IOM M'x “The Miracle Rider”
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1936,
that Elizabeth McFadden is alleg
ed to have constructed. the Van
Bret family mystery for “Double
Door.” : :
As John Wendel for years had
prohibited his sisters from marry
ing in order to prevent dispersion
under other names the vast for
tunes of his family. so ' Vietoria
Van Bret with relentless forece
dominated her sister and half
brother to keep untouched their
fabulous wealth. Behind the
screen of “double doors’’ she com
mits her atrocities in the spirit of
a true “Van Bret.
.On the northwest corner of
Fifth dvenue at 39th street, the
“Hease of Mystery” stood untils
th‘ost modern 10-cent store in
the world was constructed on the
site a_ year ago when ‘the Wendel
estate was settled. Already prior,
to Ella’s death the upkeep of the
mansion in the heart of a busi
ness area was costing almost §l,-
000 per day. It was the sole mon
ument to the past greatness of the
TWendels and she refused to leave.
Ella is said to have been -the
only member of a family, cold in
its relationships to each other, to
show any kindness whatsoever.
iAnd this was to her French poo
|dle. Tobey, which slept in a high
’posted bed beside her in a mam
moth bedroom and ate at a spec
jally constructed table built in
\_the gloomy dining room beside
| her velvet covered table.
[ A memorial to the past, the
iWendeX mansion expressed itself
in mystery. There were no eleva
}tors. no dumb-waiters, no electric
lights, and until two days before
Ella’s death no telephone to mark
’it as a residence in a world of
!progress. Apart from the steadily
advancing city it stood with a
i high fenced garden—the very pic
l ture of secrecy.
The analogy is striking. lln
["Double Door” the Van Brets live
practically detached from the out
side world in a home that flaunts
the over-decorated Victorian style
of the 1880's. An old mald sister
- with her dog literally rules her
’household in the secret of a
gloomy mansion where a spirit of
fear and apprehension reigns su
preme.
As one New York paper express
' . ¥ .
iod it, “When onece you are wit!m‘
the range of the ‘Double Doo
you will remain transfixed -until
vou know what is behind it.”
