FiFTY-EiGHT ENTRIES IN CON-

TIME DECIDING.

Each Baby Received Ten Dollars In

Limit BY Eager Spectators ana

Mr.. and Mrs. v. Gunnels, of Colum.
bia, winner of the girl prize. Robert
L. Schmid, Jr., winner Of the boys
prize. He is grandson of the late
Justice H. F, Fariss and son of Mrs.
Charlotte Fariss Schmid.
The contest for the prettiest girl
baby and for the handsomest boy
baby took place this morning in the
Vogue Theatre, and it was the tough
est proposition any men we're ever
called upon to judge. There were
tifty-eight entries, and each ent
was a winner, but in order to arrive
at the perfect judging Of the contest
ants, the judges, Drs. o. ]. Porter, /
D. Biddle and James Williamson, Jr.,
took the point system and after ex-
aiming each baby in the contest
they retired and by the elimination
method narrowed down to four girls
and four boys. The judges asked for
these babies to be brought back and
after a still closer examination they
retired again and made the decisions
as reported above.
DR.. Porter, in making the an
nouncement of the winners, stated
that it had indeed been a hard task
and that only by the system adopted
by them, could they arrive at an
agreement, and then it was hard to
agree upon any one baby.
Each mother that was requested tc
come back to have her baby judged
felt it compliment, because it was
not only a matter of beauty but the
perfectness Of the child was taker
into consideration, in fact physical
appearance of the baby cut a great
part in the awarding of the prize.
Each one of the babies we're pre-
sented with ten dollar gold piece
and we're taken to store and weigh
ed. Little Miss Gunnells weighed Is
pounds and 5 ounces.

Miss Elizabeth Looney, one of the
attractive and stylish young ladies of
Columbia, was the best dressed wo-
man on the streets on Wednesday
and drew down the FIVE dollars in
gold offered for that day. Miss Loo
ney is girl of most striking appear
ance and many admired her hand
some costume Of Wednesday. Mr.. X.
the Mysterious, had another hard day
of it, however for there were so
many on the streets that the task of
making selections was a rather Sc.
rious one.
Miss Looney was astonishingly
stunning in a cloth suit of field
mouse grey trimmed in fur and she
wore a broad picture hat to match
with touches of old rose, and black
top boots, Her costume was the sub
ject of many complimentary remarks.
Here is what Mysterious Mr.. X has
to say:
ITO the Editor of The Herald:
Miss Elizabeth Looney, one of the
most stylish looking young ladies it
has been my good fortune to see in
Maury county, was the winner of the
five dollars offered Wednesday. But
my she had some competition, believe
me. For example it was close rub
with that handsome young Columbia
matron who was undeniably stun
ming in black velvet suit with large
| picture hat to match, with a large
feather in it. Then there was the girI
in brown from shoes to hat. l want
to say right now that had | known
this job was going to be so strenuous
would have refused the invitation
of the merchants to come to Colum
bia this week. But anyway / am GLAD

girls and the handsomest matrons

the country as l see every day in Co
lumbia.

DERBY GU LINES
IDEAS ktCSUlTING
PLAN is LAST EFFORT IN BE-
HALF OF VOLUNTARY sERv-
ICE, HE SAYS.

LONDON, Oct. 21.-Lord Derby,
whom the government has entrusted
with the task of solving the recruit
ing problem, in addressing the mass
meeting at the Mansion House this
afternoon gave the gist of the plan
with which he hopes to meet the sit
uation.
Il suggest" he said, that every
man who recognizes that the state
has a right to call on his services for
her protection should enlist at once.
All those physically fit and wishing
to Joint the colors at once could do so
and the remainder continue at their
usual vocations, subject to call when
needed"
Unmarried and married men, Lord
Derby explained, would be put into
respective groups, and the bachelors
called first Married men would be
called later, according to age By
such system, he pointed out, there
would be no sudden unmanageable
number of recruits, but steady sup
ply as needed by Lord Kitchener
Some one had asked the speaker,
he said, why recruiting was an ur-
gent necessity, to which he replied:
Look at the map"
Lord Derby said that fortnight
would be allowed men who we're call
ed to adjust their private affairs. He
hoped that with a proper response 1t
would be unnecessary to call the old
er married men; in any event those
elder men would SO far as practical
BILE be placed in the medical and
transport units.
