TAKESMQNDAY
FOR REST Day
eLlGHTlNG INFLUENCE OF SIN
WILL BE PICTURED FROM THE
PULPIT AT THE BIG AUDITOR
lUM TONIGHT.

There were no services at the union
tabernacle yesterday. The evangelist
and Mr.. and Mrs. Bray were resting.
In the afternoon DR.. Williams played
golf, while Mr.. and Mrs. Bray drove
about the city. The entire party took
six o'clock dinner at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. II. b. Harts. Next Monday
the evangelistic party, together with
all the pastors of the city and their
families, will go to the park and
spend the day, taking with them well
filled lunch baskets.
Everybody is ready for work again
tonight. A great crowd is expected at
the tabernacle. The different church
es of the city have been planning for
the past few days for increased at
tendance and interest at the union
meeting. An organization of forces
perhaps never equaled before in Ard
more has spread itself over the city
in such a way that practically every
home has been reached. This being
delegation week for the churches, no
doubt the big tabernacle will be
taxed to its capacity each evening.
The work of the chorus, under the
direction Of Prof. II. j. Bray, accom-
panied by Mrs. Bray, is especially
worthy of mention. The singers are
throwing themselves wholly into the
work, and Prof. Bray has long since
demonstrated himself to be a most
excellent leader He is loved by the
entire chorus, and has the complete
respect of the entire congregation
owing to his genial and cheerful dis
position, coupled with his marvellous
ability to lead his chorus.
DR.. NJ. b. Williams continues to
impress himself upon the community
as a thorough Christian gentleman,
preaching the gospel for the purpose
of winning souls only. He is a cul-
tured and scholarly gentleman, whose
work will last for years after he
has left the city. A citizen Of Ard
more, formerly of Iowa, stated this
morning that he knew the meeting
would result successfully, because of
work he had known DR.. Williams to
do in Iowa. He stated that in that
state today, years after the Williams
meetings, people were still comment
ing on the religious awakening given
the Iowa cities and towns by the
evangelist.
Williams is a great man in many
ways. His power is something to be
wondered at. He is a marvel Of ply
sical force and energy. His talks
never tire. His addresses Sunday
were all mastery pieces of eloquence.
They were brainy and thoughtful. and
in delivery suffered no detracuon.
He is thoroughly orthodox in his
views of the bible, and thoroughly
posted in the subjects he handles.
Fearless in his preaching, yet ten
der in heart to all who differ with
him. He is a great revival general
A proper estimate of the man can
not be formed until he is heard and
known. No person in the city Of
Ardmore should fail to attend the tab
ernacle meetings and hear the dis

past six months. He referred espec-
, tally to the recent style show, and
stated that the merchants and the citi-
zens of the city had just cause to be
proud of the show just past, as it

latent interest OF the merchants and
had been the cause of a great deal Of
favorable comment abroad. He paid
tribute to the genius and persistency
of the secretary of the association
for his untiring effort in making the
occasion success. At the conclus-
ion of his remarks, he called for Prof.
Richards for few of his impressions
of fashion week
Prof. Richards, in Characteristic
speech, thanked the business men for
the invitation extended him to be
present at last nights meeting, but
stated that, as head of the city
schools, he had just realized that he
was the biggest business man in the
city and therefore in position to talk
upon any subject pertaining to the
welfare of the city.
Mr.. Richards congratulated the Bus
mess Mems association upon the sue
cess of the recent style show and
said that from that auspicious begin
ming he expected to see wonderful
things develop in the future. Mr..
Richards said that different spirit
is noticeable in the city since that
event, and that the business men
seem to be closer together for the
common good than at any time in
Ardmore's history. He urged that the
association provide the secretary with
the necessary paraphernalia and the
necessary help if required to estab-
lish press bureau in order to get
the advantages of Ardmore before the

LOOK THIS
MATTER Up SURELY

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 12.-The States
boro News in a recent issue calls at
tention to matter of considerable i'm
portance to voters this year, it being
election year
'If your name is not entered on the
ornament registry book under the Sla-
ton registry law of two years ago may
be you will not have vote coming to
YOU" it says.
The law referred to is one passed by
tie legislature at the instance of Gov
ernor John M. Slaton, in 1918. 1t pro-
vides that voter once registered for
state and county elections remains reg
Uttered forever, provided he keeps quail
fled by paying his taxes within the
time prescribed by law. Thus those
who registered within the last two
years and pay their taxes promptly for
last year, will not have to bother about
signing the voters oath in order to
vote in 1916.
This law will prevent lot of trou-
BILE in connection with this years cleo
tons, which will be the first con-
Quoted under it, as practically ninety
per cent. of the voters are en- the per-
manent registration lists, which the
law says shall be kept by the tax col
lector. Those not on the permanent
list can get on by qualifying.
The permanent registration law was
one of Governor Slatons administra-
tive reforms.

Three Judges
Say Huxley Is
No Inconer

LONDON, Jan. 12.-Three judges of
tie Divisional Court have decided that
William Huxley, the well-known Eng
lish jockey, is not liable FOR income
tax.
He had teen assessed on ten thous-
and dollars, but on his behalf the ques-
ton was raised whether a youth under
tWenty-one eyars, who has no guard
ian or trustee, is liable for income tax.
Tie court accepted the negative view.
One of the justices said it seemed to
him impossible to hold than an Gin
FAINT who could not ordinarily be serv-
ed with legal process or exercise the
right of appeal should be assessable to
income tax unless the Legislature so
provided.
The effect of this decision, says the
Mail, will be wider now than in peace
time. Ordinarily minors are caught in
the income tax owing to the simple fact
that their incomes are usually unearn-
cd increment administered for them by
guardians and trustees. A few jockeys
and infant prodigies have escaped, but
now there must be thousands of minors
who are earning up to thirty dollars a
week in munition factories.

Annual Revolver Meet.

Twenty clubs representing as many
cities have entered teams in the annual
inter-city tournament of the United
States Revolver Association. The
teams will consist of not more than
ten men and pistols and revolvers are
admitted on even terms, with the
scorer of the leading five to count. Fiji
teen shots per man will be allowed and
the highest possible score for the in
dividual will be $50; for a team $50.
The teams will shoot on their home
ranges under the supervision of the
Association officials and the targets
will be forwarded to the secretary for
final scoring. Last season the scores
were twenty-five shots per man. 1t is
believed that the change to fifteen
shots will be an improvement and err

teams.

Look What's
He1e Now And
Be Careful

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 12,-The linz
gefie lady, clad only in corset, silk
stockings and high-heeled slippers,
who has made mere man blush for 4
lcng time past as he turned over the
advertising sections of popular maya
zines has now stepped out of the de-
partment store ads and made her bow
or the stage, for the benefit of At
lantians.
Some wise, or otherwise, theatrical
manager of a girl show figured out
that people were getting tired of see
ing girls in tights or in short skirts, so
he conceived the idea of laying the
scene in modiste's shop and letting
the chorus appear as the bewitching
advertisement ladies do The show
was put on at the Forsyth and made
a tremendous big hit. A week after
ward, by coincidence, probably, a
picture house here showed a comedy
in which pretty girl in corset and
lingerie was a principal figure, and
this week again the Forsyth comes for
ward with another brilliant offering in
which boudoir costumes are feature.
If even the most modest Atlanta man
by no doesn't know all the mysteries
of laces and fripperies commonly sup
posed to be concealed by milady's pet
ticoat, it is simply because he hash

Interesting Dope Letter
Collected By The "A. p"

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-As a result of
tbs various meetings and conferences
held in New York City during the
Christmas holidays to consider anna
teur and college athletics it is likely
that a national sport council will be
formed in the near future to act as 4
supreme court of sport. The PROPOSE
tion has been discussed by the leading
authorities and officials of a number of
sport-governing bodies and the forma,
ton of the council will probably be
undertaken within the next few
months.
While the powers and objects of the
council are at present rather vaguely
outlined it has been suggested that the
council be composed of the presidents
of the principal sport governing bod
les such as the national golf, tennis,
billiard, college athletic, amateur ath-
letic, soccer and intercollegiate foot
ball, fencing, shooting, skating and
kindred organizations This council, if
formed, would consider all phases of
amateur sport in a broad and impers-
onal manner. Its powers would be linn
tied in general way to advisory sug-
gestions bearing upon new rulings for
the improvement of sport in its nation
al aspects. Organizations specifically
affected by such suggestions would not
be obligated to accept the same but it
is thought that such an amateur sports
clearing house would materially i'm
prove conditions and bring about
G, eater harmony and cooperation
among the various associations now
controlling the principal amateur
sports of the nation.

Billiard Expert Dead.

An announcement from London OF
the death of W. A. Lovejoy, for many
years famous billiard expert, recalls
the fact that it was he who was cred
tied with originating the anchor
stroke" Lovejoy was said to have dis
covered the stroke and its possibilities
By accident. After considerable prac-
tice he used it in public and on one
occasion made a run of 2,86 "canons.
Since that time, however, other pro-
fe.sional GUSTS who took it up found
that they could score on this stroke al.
raost interminably so that in the rules
of match play it was found necessary
to limit the anchor to a score of rs,

Dutch Liners
Stop Will Be
Suez Loser

LONDON, Jan. 12.-The withdrawal
OF the Dutch liners from the Suck
Canal to the East Indies, which goes
into effect in few days will mean an
other considerable falling off in the
revenues of the canal. In 1914 vessels
of Dutch nationality held third place,
both as regards numbers and tonnage.
Great Britain was first with 5000 yes
sells of 100000 tons; Germany came
second with 480 vessels of 2,100, 900
tons, and Holland third with $50 YES
sells Of l 100000 tons.
The official reason given for the di-
version Of the Dutch boats is "the in
creasing uncertainty of being able to
obtain the necessary coal at the ap-
pointed stations" but shipping men in
London think that the decision was
more likely due to German submarine
activity in the Mediterranean ports,
there Is no shortage in the supply. The
price for January at Port Said will be
about $22 per ton, as compared with
$3.50 before the war, but, owing to the
of many vessels which used
the Suez route in normal times, the
reserves at the coaling stations are
very large.
