Fashions for Americans

Did you ever look at a woman In
badly-cut skirt and then glance at
one whose dress may have been OF
poor material with such good lines
that the cheap gown appeared smart
and attractive, while the other look
ed dowdy and unpleasing?
Watch the hang OF your skirt. the
way It's lines are cut, and you will
be a well-dressed woman. Every
figure cannot stand the same lines
any more than every face can stand
the same sort of hat. But this skirt
Is well adapted to any sort OF figure
II Is intended to give an air of slen-
derness and at the same time afford
fare at the bottom sufficient to
keep IT in vogue for full skirts.
Now there are ways upon ways OF
making skirt. II you are short,
keep the lines long and straight. II
you are too tall. trim the skirt
around with rows Of graduated
braid. Some of this braid is five
inches wide and other widths pro-
vide the graduation of sizes. or
course. you must use braid on the
waist or coat that you make UP for
the skirt.
II 1t happens that you prefer some
contrasting material. such as silk
or satin bias folds. put them on in
graduated widths, just as though
you were using braid. This will re.
duce your height and impart a very
handsome and stylish decoration for
the dress.
This skirt may be made up In all
sorts Of wool: all the heavier
weaves Of silk, bengaline, poplin
and related weaves that are now
coming into the height Of fashion, or
it will appear smart II made OF lin.
en-. crash, dusk. khaki, or any OF
the sitter weaves of cotton or linen
material. The pattern is not intend
ed for use in cutting diaphanous ma,
terials.
Another hint may offer to my
stout sister. Now that fashion uses
so much trimming on skirts you may
greatly reduce the appearance OF
your waist and hips by using one

and for worse. Let me tell you
something, Mollie. Don't be per-
suaded into marrying any man UNI
less you feel that you cannot live
without him. II Is hard enough to
live with the man you are in love
with, and would find IL impossible
to live with any man IL only liked
and respected him.

ALLIES RUSHING
SUPPLIES IN THE
BALKAN THEATRE

LONDON, Dec Sit is reported that
the bulk of the German and Bulgarian
armies are being concentrated against
the allies holding the southeast corn
er of Serbia. There has been heavy
fighting there during the last few
days.
There is no confirmation of the hints
from various sources that the French
have been forced to definitely abandon
positions they have held since the be-
ginning of the campaign.
The fall of Monistir and the south
ward progress of the German and
Bulgarian forces have placed the
northern wing of the French expedi-
tion in a precarious situation, and
their withdrawal from the angle form
e3 by the Vardar and Varna rivers
has apparently begun.
The constant arrival of fresh forces
and war material at Saloniki is evi-
denc that the allies do not intend to
abandon their efforts in the Balkans.
The German task in Montenegro is
harder than elsewhere. The Monte
negrians continue spirited resistance,
checking the invaders wherever pos
sible by sharp counter attacks,
The Serbians appear incapable Of
organized resistance in Albania. Even
orderly retreat is difficult as the Ser
bians are encumbered by numbers of
civilians and prisoners. According to
some reports the Albanians have at
tackled them.
The latest reports say that the
French are bringing heavy guns into
action at Strumitsa causing the Bull
garians to retire with heavy losses.
A big battle between the Bulgarians
and the Franc British forces appears
to be impeding.

|STOCK EXHIBITS
HERE FRIDAY At.
S. A. |. D [ P0 7

Three carloads of thoroughbred
livestock, secured at a great expense
to the State College of Agriculture
and the railroads of the state, will be
exhibited in Americus, Friday, De-
cember 10th, between the hours of /
and o'clock in the afternoon, at the
Seaboard Air Line railway depot, on
Jackson street.
This collection of stock has been
touring the state in the interests OF
the farmers and stock-raisers. 1t is
shown with the special purpose in
view of advising with the farmers
who desire to purchase beef and dairy
cattle, draught horses and hogs OF
any purebred type.
The Third District Agricultural col
lege, at Americus, is cooperating with
the exhibition, which has been pre-
pared by the state authorities with
the assistance of the United States
department of agriculture.
Beating the boil weevil at its own
game is the idea put forward in ex-
hibiting and encouraging the raising
of live stock. The farmers of the
state are interesting themselves IN
this proposition, and an era Of unpre-
cedented stock raising is expected
within the next few years.
The cars will be at the S. A. L. de.

and o'clock during the afternoon

Inferred that some confusion has aris-

1t is recalled that the point at
which the Communipaw was reported
as sunk corresponds closely to that OF

BOARD APPROVES
MILITARY ID { A
Of PROF. MATHIS

The Board of Education of Ameri-
Gus unanimously approved the idea of
Superintendent J. E. Mathis, of the
Americas public schools, to install a
military feature in the High school
here, beginning at the next fall term,
September, 1916, at their meeting last
night.
MIR. Mathis is now in communication
with the war department of the Unit
ed States government, and feels con-
iident that this feature will be includ-
ed in the course of training of the
High school students, beginning next
fall.
Americus will be the first high
school in the state of Georgia to Sc
cure this feature of national prepar-
edness, an all-absorbing question of
the day.
Congress is now in session and the
foremost question before that body is
the recommendations for national de-
fense, which have been so heartily en-
dorsed by President Wilson.
Mr.. Mathis is being generally COM
mended for his efforts to secure the
military feature in the High school,
and doubtless many other schools over
the United States will follow this
course.
