MORE TROUBLE AHEAD.

1t seems that man can never be
wholly satisfied with what the wo-
man wears. For quite a while there
was something of a crusade against
womens big hats In the theatres and
other public places. Men selfishly in
sisted that when they paid for tick
ct to see the show they were entitled to
see what was going on on the stage,
and not content themselves with look
ing at lot of hats. AS the style of
hats increased in size the complaints
grew more insistent until the women
gave II up and in many places re-
move their hats on taking their seats,
but that hasn't ended it, The COM
plant now comes that the head OF a
fashionably dressed woman is so built
up. crowned and overgrown with rats.
switches and other artificialities that
the man who sits behind one OF them
can see nothing but mountain OF
feminine head adornments.

Let us quote little from The States
Vile. N. c.. Landmark, on this sub
ject:
Formerly in some OF the churches
of Iredell and in other counties In
this section relates The Landmark
musingly. ut was custom. handed
down from the fathers. for the most
of the women to sit on one side OF
the church and the men on the other.
There was no rule that prohibited the
man sitting with his family. or q
young man with his gtrl. for that
matter. but It was q custom. generally
observed. for the sexes to separate at
the church door. We have In mind a
church with which this writer was
familiar In boyhood, where not a
dozen men sat with their families or
In that portion Of the building usual
ly occupied by the women. Up to
some years ago the same custom pre-
vailed in the auditorium at Davidson
College. Put this custom into effect
and the women can wear their big
hats to their hearts content and have
It out among themselves. Put all the
men in one section and their view
will be unobstructed. what's the mat
ter with the proposition?"
We have no doubt that there are
among our readers many old timers
who attended country churches long
ago, and who rarely. IL ever. saw men
and women occupying the came
benches. AS The Landmark says, 1t
was the universal custom Of the sexes
to separate on entering the church
door, the men and boys seating them
selves on one side OF the building and
the women and girls on the other. II
young man went in and took a seat
by the side OF his girl 1t was looked
on as highly inappropriate. to put II
mildly. Will fashion send US back to

4 Civilized Railroad

I
Railroads everywhere NAV be said
to have heard civilization forward to
some extent. but down in Mexico the
Federal government Is building n
railroad for the express purpose OF
civilizing a people which 1t has beeu
found impossible to subdue otherwise.
The Maya Indians of today are not al
ali like the peaceful Maya nation OF
the Spanish conquest. The modern
Maya has deep seated prejudice
against interference and has been able
to hold his own and rather more in
defiance of all that the soldiers OF the
Mexican government have been able to
do in the way of restraining him. But
the end of the freedom which he has
more often abused than enjoyed is APP
preaching, and, indeed, is already very
near. A railroad now In process of
construction has already reached the
heart Of the MAYA Indian territory,
making possible the quick transport
alton of troops to the scene of uprls-
ings and demonstrations. The govern
ment Is establishing military stations
all through the virgin region and q
opening up the land TO development.
From now on there will be an end OF
such ineffective military expeditions
as ODER describes In his entertaining
book on this region.

PREDESTINARIANS
READY FOR GAME

Admission, October 19.-(Special)- 1.-THE
football squad of the Alabama Presby-
terrain college and their supporters are
preparing a warm reception for the boys
of the Birmingham High school eleven,
who will journey to Admission for a grid
iron contest on next Saturday. The Pre-
destinarians are confident of success and
hope to give the visitors good drubbing
but they intend to make amends after
the game and to that end the visitors
will be honored guests at big reception
to be held at the college building
Although the local team expects this
to be one of the hardest fought games
of the season, it is said that Coach Allen,
who has been playing with the boys, will
not likely be In the game Saturday, and
on account Of this fact several changes
may be made in the lineup. Heretofore
the Professionalism have been up against
weight, but in the game with the High
school it is feared that they will have
TO counteract speed and Coach Allen is
giving his boys particular instruction on
defensive open play.
