Painted Knees Latest
Fad; Six Million
Daily For Beauty
-
CHICAGO.—Landscaping such fern
inine knees as may from time to time
be exposed by rolled stockings and
perverse winds is advocated by beauty
specialists, who began a week's con¬
vention here today.
“Painted knees are the latest thing”
said Mrs. Ruth Maurer, presiding at
the opening session.
“Hand painted pictures on the
knees are intriguing. Some designs
are simple, some elaborate. Some
girls prefer a flower or a group of
blossoms. Others like a portrait or
a little landscape.”
Women of the United States spend
approximately $6,000,000 a day to
make themselves synthetically beau¬
tiful, one report to the convention as¬
serts.

Polar Ships Battle
Path Through Ice
WASHINGTON. — The steamers
Peary and Bowdoin, of the MacMil
lian Arctic expedition, have fought
their way free of the ice in Melville
Bay and expect to reach Etab, Green¬
land, their main base, soon.
That would bring them to • their
principal destination on schedule, re¬
lieving fears of a delay which might
have interferred seriously with the
major purposes of the expedition,
Both vessels got out of the ice yes
terday after having been held immov
able for several days 20 miles south
0 f Cape York. In a dispatch to the
navy department dated yesterdhy
Lieutenant Commander Byrd said:
“Will hoist planes overboard soon
as p eal .y reaches Etab and will work
( ] a y an( ] n jght to make up for time
j og j. j n j ce »
“Erecting planes is a major opera
tion, as wings cannot be put on plane's
Peary, due to lack‘of space.
“Planes in water without wings
would upset, so will take, planes to
beach, lashed to two boats.”
New Rendition Of Mo¬
saic Law Will be Asked
CHICAGO.—The condensed version
of the ten commandments which will
be submitted to the triennial conven¬
tion of the Episcopal church in New
Orleans next October with the idea
of shortening the church service, was
made public here today.
1 With the exception of the second,
; all unities in the decalogue are re
| duced to a single brief sentence.
The commission’s report said the
j changes were made “to meet modern
‘ conditions.”
The new rendition of the Mosaic
law is-.
i “1—Thou shalt have none other
j Gods but me.”
[ “2—Thou shalt not make to thy
! self any graven image, nor the like-
1 ness of anything that is in heaven
] j above, the water or in under the the earth earth; beneath, thou or shall in
not how down to them, nor worship
them.
“3—Thou shalt not take the name
of the Lord thy God in vain.
“4—Remember that thou keep holy
the Sabbath day.
“5—Honour thy father and tby
mother.
“6—Thou shalt do no murder.
“7—Thou shalt not commit adultry.
“8—Thou shalt not steal.
“9—Thou shalt not bear false wit¬
ness against thy neighbor.
“10—Thou shalt not covet.”
Memorial Planned
To Thos. E. Watson
ATLANTA, Ga.—A memorial will
be erected to one of Georgia’s illus
trous sons, as soon as the plans of the
“Tom Watson Memorial Association”
have been worked out. J. H. Boy¬
kin, or Lincolnton, originator of the
plan was elected president, of the as¬
sociation at a meeting held here re¬
cently.
The object of the association is to
erect a suitable monument or statue
of the distinguished Georgian. They
plan to erect the memorial either in
the State Capitol or on the Capitol
grounds. Plans are being made to
open a drive over the State soon. Al¬
so a special committee was appointed
at the recent meeting to draft a re¬
solution to be presented to the House
and Senate soon providing authority
to erect the memorial in or near the
capitol.
STONE MEMORIAL
AT BRYAN’S GRAVE
PLANS FOR PERMANENT MARK¬
ER, HOWEVER, HAVE NOT
YET BEEN MADE.
WASHINGTON.—A simple wood¬
en marker, not amid the withering j
clusters of blossoms that hide his i
grave, alone marked today the last j
resting place of William Jennings j
Bryan, in Arlington National Ceme¬
tery.
Just overneath the hill-crest be¬
neath which he sleeps stands the row
of white headstones above soldier
dead who lost their lives in France.
Closer about are the more imposing
monuments of the officer dead with i
whom he keeps his last encampment !
and all about are the signs of the i
orderly, reverent care with which the |
nation surrounds the last sleep of I
these it has called to its service.
One day a stone memorial will be
erected to tell in graven lettering
that the Commoner lies here on the
peaceful slope. But it is yet too soon
for the stricken widow, the brother,
the children and the grand children
of the dead to have made their plans
for that permanent testimony of their
love.
The broken family circle was still
in Washington today, gathering again
the threads of the everyday things of
life to which they must turn back.
They came back from the last solemn
scene in the cemetery yesterday to
spend a little while together before
they must go thir separate ways once
more. s )
Mrs. Byan has no definite plans
beyond the decision to return to her j
home in Miami when she has recov-1
ered a little from the long strain and
attended to some details of private
mattei-s with which she must deal in
Washington. No reser vat ions) for
her southward journey have yet been
made.
Other members of the family plan¬
ned to leave tonight for their homes.
Former Governor Charles W. Bryan
expected to go direct to Omaha and
prepare to fill the lecture engagement
he has made for the weeks ahead
Those of the children who could, plan¬
ned to stay on a day or two with the
mother.
After the last services at the grave
late yesterday, many of the old poli¬
tical and personal friends of the Com¬
moner who had come to Washington
to be present at the funeral left for
their homes, and others boarded their
trains today. There was no definite
step taken among them toward a me¬
morial to commemorate the service of
the dead leader, nor is it likely that
the question will be opened until Mrs.
Bryan has indicated her wishes.
Wishes He Could Climb
Like A Monkey Anway
ATLANTA, Ga.—That the recent
evolution at Dayton, Tenn., is still
creating interest among all kinds of
people in manisfested by the com¬
ments heard among those who watch
the antics of a monkey in a store win¬
dow on Peachtree street.
One young chap who looked as if
he had left his still in the mountains
long enough to, come to town and
see the sights looked at the creature
and then turned to the crowd and
just dared any one to say that any
of his kinfolks ever came from ‘such
as that there varmint.’
A lady of the upper social strata
stepped daintily out of her limousine
presumably to do some shopping and
gazed, “Oh dear what if it could be
true,” she said.
But it took a little grimsy street
urchin to settle the discussion as he
pushed his way through the crowd
and pressed his nose against the win¬
dow and said, “Gee, I wish I could
climb like that, and I don’t guess
those fleas are so bad after you get
used to them.”
Operation

Police Sergeant
PITTSBURG.—George Gillespie, 37
police sergeant, is recovering in a
here from his one hundred
sixty-eighth operation, under¬
yesterday for injuries he suffer¬
in an automobile accident two
ago. Surgeons told him it
will be his last and that here
he will wear an artificial leg.

TO CUT
DIXIE MEMORIAL
WILL REPRODUCE HIS STONE
MOUNTAIN DESIGN ON A
CLIFF IN CAROLINA.
RALEIGH, N. C.—Gutzon Borglum;
on February 26th was discharged
by the Stone Mountain Confederate
Memorial Association as sculptor of
the heroic Confederate memorial on
the granite face of Stone Mountain,
near Atlanta, Ga., will chisel on the
broad face of the granite cliff over¬
looking the Chimney Rock Gorge in
North Carolina. .
Announcement of the plans was
made yesterday in Raleigh. It is said
that influential North Carolina citi¬
zens are backing Borglum and the
contract has been signed for the work.
Chimney Rock, Inc., a corporation of
wealthy North Carolinians, who plan
to make the section a national park, is
understood to be the promoter of the
plan.
The memorial, it was said, will be
much like the Stone Mountain design.
The heroic size of the carvings will be
greater than those at Stone Mountain.
Chimney Rock, a curious natural
shaft, L situated in a wild and gor
»eously rugged gorge in Rutherford
county, N. C. The mountains tower
thousands of feet above it and the
cliffs over the shaft form a perfect
granite panel more than 2,000 feet
long and 400 feet high. The site is
approached by hard surface automo¬
bile roads and is a favorite resort of
persons from the two Carolinas,
Georgia and other southern stales.
Direct routes to the rock are found
in Asheville, N. C. Greenville, and
'Spartanburg, S. C. and Henderson¬
ville, N. C,

All til® Flavor
of a Dainty
Cake is Pure
The extra flavor that makes a cake delicious when
you bajce with Valier’s Dainty Flour is a thing you
should always expect. Dainty costs a little more
than ordinary flour. It ought to make your baking
better. There are reasons why it docs.
The choicest soft winter wheat is secured at a pre¬
mium for Dainty. Only the rich, creamy centers
of the grain are used. Their rich, natural goodness
is kept pure. No phosphate or other adulterants
ever impair this purity. All the flavor that you get
with Dainty is the flavor given fine wheat by rich
soil and the sun. That’s why Dainty is always
worth its price.
