Faulkner Also Discusses
Other Topics of Interest at
University.
"Probitltion has been a (treat thing
for us as well as for the city of Char
lottesville." said Pro? William Harri
son Faulkner, of the University of
Virginia, while stopping at the Klch
tuond Hotel Monday night on route
tO his old home at Boydton, Va.. for
* few days of \acat1on.
••When the prohibition movement
ta Charlottesville first started," con
tinued I>r. Faulkner. "I was not alto
rher in favor of it. believing it to
an attempt to curb the individual's
Inherer.ts rights, but it did not lake
me long to appreciate the good effects
of such a movement after it was fin
ally put through. At present, condi
tions in Charlottesville are all that
they should ire. and it is doubtful it
the people of tht community will
#yer countenance the sale of Uquor
again. The effect of prohibition upon
the student body is simply wonderful
and everyone seems perfectly satis
fied with the -prevailing- order- trf
thirtgs”
Speaking of the charges ugainrt
president Barringer, of the Virginia
Polytechnic Institute, who was for
merly chairman of flu I'nlversity of
Virginia faculty, Dr. Faulkner ex
pressed confidence that nothing would
come of them.
Solution for Barringer Trouble.
“ "th Barringer." he said, "seems to
have been guilty of lack of tact to a
considerable extent in handling^ the
situation as he found it at the V. P.
1„ but I don't see that he has done
anything else to his discredit Per
aonally, 1 believe if Dr. Barringer
Wore given the authority to discharge
the entire V, P. I faculty und then
reappoint' whomsoever ns pleased,
the solution of the trouble would be
quickly found.”
Br. Faulkner said that the cele
bration of Founder's Day at the 1'nl
versity on April IS Is being awaited
with grout expei tan y and Interest.
In view of the fm t that Andrew Car
negie and Senator Hoot. of New'
York. will lx among those present
Mid Villi deliver addresses.
A topic of special Interest at the

TRIP FAMILY AFFAIR
: Former President Surprises Auti
'quarian With His Knowl
edge of Ancient Ruins.
• By a
Staff Correspondent of the
United Ureas.)
LUXOR, March 22.—No better
proof that Col. Kooaevelt is still in
■fettle" could have been furnished
than his feat to-day in arising at 6
o'clock, after a particularly worry
ing day yesterday, and going for a
: two hour horseback ride to the ruins
[ of the ancient city of Thebes. Most
of the other members of the party
i preferred to take things a bit more
! comfortably.
i The visit go Thebes was by far the
most interesting experlenoe Mr.
| lloosevelt has enjoyed since he be
gan his sightseeing. The trip across
the Nile and the horseback ride seem
ed to give him an unusual xesl for
the day s work The tombs of the
j undent kings of Egypt in the hills
j behind the temples of Karnak were
j visited, and the history of each ex
! plained by Otreetor of , Antiquities
J WelguTI.
When the tombs had been explor
ed the Colonel viewed the colossi
of Karneseum, Perel and liahrl Mr.
Kooaevelt was deeply Impressed by
the wonders of ancient Egypt, ns was
shown by his close questioning of
j direction Welgall, who In turn was
surprised by the intimate knowledge
i possessed by the Colonel of the. his
tory of the ruins under view,
j An "ai fresco" luncheon was serv
j ed at the residence of Theodore L>a
! vis, a well known antiquarian.
Strictly f amily Affair.
To-day's sightseeing trip was ln
I tended strictly us a "family affair,
and none but the Roosevelts and the
i correspondents and the guides were
in the party. This restriction was
; made necessary by the large number
j of Americans In Euxor, many of
whom have been drawn here by the
presence of Mr. Roosevelt. So many
of the Americans Indicated a de
sire to accompany the jmrty that It
was soon found that If any "outsld
, ers" were permitted, the trip would
assume the proportions of a Niagara
Falls cx< ursion.
At o'cloi k this afternoon the pur
ity returned to the Winter Palace Ho
! tel. where a reception In the Colo
j ncl's honor will be given to-night. To
morrow evening the Roosevelts leave
for Cairo, arriving there Thursday,
when for the next four or live days

j tile d to meet with the committee.
Several plans have been suggest

accommodation of at least twenty pa

siding In Prince William county will,
,at all times, be given the preference
of admission.
Pr Merchant, formerly a practic
ing physician of Manchester, conceiv
ed the idea of (establishing the enter

Governor Glenn Advises Anti

MAKE NEW YORK LAST

That Big City Do-—Con
ditions in Maine.
NEW YORK, March 22.—Ex-Gov- j
ernor Robert W. Glenn, of North Caro- I
lin*. who carried the white hag of the
Antl-Skloon 1.ensue through sklrm- 1
i»he« for local option In counties uud
then in cities, and finally to an ultl- ,
mate conguest In State-wide prohibi
tion, told the members of the New
^ ork Antl-SaJoon League at a Carne
gie Hall mtes meeting yesterday that,
even if the city local option bill should
pass the Legislature this session. It
would be live years before the first
sizable city In the State voted Itself
ury, and ten years at least before the
warfare would begin to tell upon Man- )
huttan. Immediate prohibition he con- ;
Mm reu us unlikely us an an immediate

Gc\ ernor Glenn came to the mass
. meeting, which was called to create
pul lie sentiment In favor of the city
local option bill, fresh from the Anti
Hu.oon League's battle grounds of the
Midtie West and New England. He
told from his experiences In these fields
, bow best to- imre ammunition In Tire
| long crusade ha feels certain Is ahead, j
and how best to reach the vital spots |
of the llguor demon as he has seen It '
j jabbed in other centers.
Jn visiting the North on such an er
i d Governor Glenn said he felt that
he was only repaying the visit the
•Noithern folks made to the South from
la'il to I860, and that the fact that he
; could be here under such a banner
; meant that the new Industrial North j
and the now fully reconstructed South I
! w ere prepared unitedly to do battle for j
a great, new national life founded upon '
sobriety and ineternal enmity to strong 1
I drink.
Let the making of sentiment be your j
present business." he said, “and then i
In live years after you get this law <
>i \. will have Syracuse and Troy and
, Rochester going dry.
"A’>d finally, perhaps in ten years I
I cr so. when 1 am on the brink of the ,

: back here to Join with you in celebrat- i
i iug the final rout of strong drink from !

"The bra wers have sent out tons of
literature,” he said, “telling how bad
, Maine behaves under prohibition, and
j hnw the ‘speak-easy’ thrives there. The
i Anil-Saloon League, on the other hand, i
has sent out much literature telling
j how good the State has grown. I ac
cepted the word of neither, but went
I up there to have a look Into the situ
ation for myself.
“I asked the proprietor of the biggest
hotel In town how I i ould get a drink.
He replied that he was.a law-abiding
man and I couldn’t work one out of
him. * 1 said i whs dying of thirst and
whs e ery 111. lie told me to go around
j the corner and a guide would meet me i
: and show me the way. I threw up my j
! itaeids mm said 1 thanked heaven X wrus j
1 in a place at last where I needed a !
guide to lead me to a drink. Almost i
i verywhere else I had been the people i
w ere itf need of a guardian to keep |
(them away from It.
"And then 1 took note of Maine. Of i
9.HCO murderB committed 111 this eoun- |
try last year, only 3 were committed in j
i Maine. I found the people there own
* ed *114 per capita, while here In your
I State they ow n only *20 per capita,
and I found thuf the county poorhouses
j were almost empty.”

A Womans Real Beauty Depends
Much on Her Figure
“No, she hasn't a pretty face, but she has a
beautiful figure, and that it, the thing that counts
now-a-davs.” So said a woman in commendation
of a friend in this store, yesterday. And she was
right. A woman may or may not have a pretty
face, and yet lie able to dres3 so becomingly, us
to appear ‘attractive, but if her figure does not
possess certain lines of grace, she has lost that
factor of a woman's charm, which cannot be re
placed by any substitute or cover up with becom
ing clothes. ‘ So the Corset is important, for on
the corset the entire beauty of the figure depends.
We haVe every good corset, and every make that
we feel safe in recommending to our customers.
There are experienced corset fitters who know
just what style of corsets can moat effectively em
phasise the good points of each woman’s figure,
and eliminate, ns far as possible, each defect.
