STYLES IN PARIS.
War Causes Change In Women's Hats
 and Clothes

Paris March 9.-Increasing num- bers of grave faces have dealt a severe blow to the rather trivial little bon net women have worn since fall. The doll-l1ke head-dress is now left to br1ght-faced sewing and shop girls, while graver visages are seen under wider. straw or higher ribbon. The straw is !no longer pulled down over the head as one draws on a stock ing, but is posed lightly, not on the back of the head as heretofore but on the forehead, as another reminder that the Germans are still at Noyon."
 Underskirts have, it is said in au- thorized quarters, come back to stay, and styles in dress are getting farther and farther back into the eighteenth century, with ribbons galore. The ribbon, 1t is said, will be the keynote Of summer styles with short sleeves, flounces and elegances of the ante revolutionary days.

Third Assault on Vcrdun

Paris March 15.-The renewal of the fighting west of the Meuse after three days pause, is regarded as her aiding the opening Of the third phase of the battle for Verdun. The defend-
 CTS have utilized the spell of relative inactiOn to strengthen further the
 weak joints in their armor and they
 await events with full confidence
 "Now I know where I stand, I am
 certain of final success" said Genera;
 Petain who is in charge of the French
 operations at Verdun, to Messrs Laur- aine and Pate, members of the cham ber of deputies, who returned to Paris yesterday from an inspection of SUD- l who declared themselves edified by all l they saw.
 1 The first appearance of the German
 infantry yesterday, after the usual in l tense bOmbardment, occurred at 4 1 o'clock in the afternoon and lasted for l two and a half hours. They attacked l along the whole line from Bethircourt l to the crest Of Cumieres a diSta nee of l about four miles. There was every in = l dication, according to latest advces
 that the fighting would be resumed ] during the night.
 l Fearful Execution Among Germans ] The heaviest fighting was around 1 Dead Man Hill. the Germans dehOuch- 1 ing in masses from COrbeauX and Oth CT smaller woods in the west. They l were obliged to cross open ground and l a well directed fire from the French l did fearful execution among them l Their ranks quickly filled up, how 1 ever, and although they were stopped l again, they ended by getting a footing | in advanced French trenches at two l points.
 ] Dead Man Hill, which is now being | fought for, is fine artillery position
 and nothing more, the military critics say, for it is not joined to anything l It is a plateau whose base is limited 1 on it's four faces by four ravines an6 | it rises only at the east, dominating 1 there the present German positions 1 The crown princess plan is evidently
 to make a breach in the French line

THINKS TIME RIPE FOR
 BIG RELIGIOUS REVIVAL

Little Rock, Feb. 2.-The Rev. Rcb- ert L. Selle. superintendent of the Little Rock district of the M. t. church, makes the following sugges- ton for statewide revival of re- ligion:
 And now that the liquor traffic, the worst enemy that the church of God ever had, has been legally ban ished from our state. Arkansas should have statewide revival of religion, participated in simultane- ously by every church of all the de- nominations of the state. The entire Lenten season furnishes an unusu- ally good opportunity for such re- vival of the religion of Jesus Christ.
 With the passing of the saloon from the state of Arkansas, the church of God is given an opportun- ity tc save men that she never be- fore had; and if she is awake to the interests committed to her by her Great Head, she will not be slow Q see and use the opportunity opened to her to the fullest extent Of her ability to do so.
 The strength of the church of Goa in Arkansas should be doubled dur ing the year 1916, the first year of statewide prohibition in our state. :"

U. 5. DEFICIENT IN
 THRIFT, SAYS BANKER
Moorehead Wright Thinks This Fit ting Time to Inaugurate Nation-
 wide Thrift Campaign

Little Rock, Feb. 2.--"It has been recognized for some time by tn hankers cf America that the United States is deficient in thrift in com Earison with some other countries, ]" says Moorehead Wright, presid ant or the Unicn Trust company of Little Beck, and chairman of the thrift com mttee of the Arkansas Bankers as sociation. "As result we lose a profit which more thrifty nations save in production which must sell at the same price. Consequently Our competitive nations grow rich upon the same business which may yield TO profit to Americans.
 "The general movement fer the teaching of practical thrift, and the definite, active encouragement of thrift by our people has reached the stage of development that it is taken up by the American Bankers association as definite work. The year 1916 is a fitting time fer the in sauguration of the first nation wide campaign on thrift. because it was just 100 years ago that savings banks were first established in America. Thursday, February was designat- Cd by the American Bankers associa- ticn as Thrift Day for America ana the beginning of the centennial cele- bration. On this day the thousands of bankers throughout the whole United States invite the attention of the American people to the necessity Of adopting new element in national life. It must be realized by 'he American people, especially those of the South, that it is an absolute necessity to prosperity, for the pc j. lle, individually and collectively, to live profitable lives.
 ."Fcr the beginning, on this Thrift Day, the attention is directed to the simple and fundamental element of individual savings. The beginning of thrift, vital measure is the ability to be industrious, and to measure ones ability to save in dollars and cents.
 "Therefore, to begin with, the peo- pie rf Arkansas-old and young, cor porations, individuals, children-all are invited to plan this day. and throughout this year, to establish a profit account in the banks. It is cer- tain that everyone, if he could see the real truth of the matter, would de- termine to lay by from his earnings some money fer future investment. The community saving, which is to fellow, is based upon elementary habit, established in the individual, and the prosperity of the community will, after all, be measured by the power of the sum of individuals who attain profitable living"
 M. E. Bloom, cashier of the Citi- zens' bank is one of the seven mem- bers of the Arkansas Bankers asso- citation Thrift committee. He has been urging the observance of Thrift Day and the developments of habits of thrift.
