A wide border of the striped satin fin
ishes the bottom, and narrow bands OF
it are placed above the border. They
are all cut on the bias of the goods
and finished with tiny machine-stitch-
ed hens. Besides their decorative
value these bands give to the
skirt the required flare at the bottom.
The bodice is plain and full, fin
ished with cape collar opening in a
Y at the front. The sleeves are full
and long, with shaped, faring cuffs
that extend over the hands. They are
joined to the sleeves with narrow
bands of satin. The bodice and skirt
are in one piece and joined by a
wide girdle of the striped satin.
A slip of white taffeta is worn I'M

NeedIessIy Alarmed.

A man who was stung by hornets
last summer, was awakened by buzz
ing sound almost directly above him.
He ducked his head under the Gov
ers.
When he ventured an ear out to
listen he heard the sound again, even
louder than before.
Again he ducked under the covers
Then, realizing that he couldn't stay
in bed all day, he put his head out
from under the covers and yelled. This
was with the idea of soaring whatever
was buZzing.
He succeeded in that, but it wasn't
a hornet or bee.
It was hired girl running vacuum
carpet sweeper on the floor of the flat

Car Shortage VIII Cripple
Farmers With Fertilizers

Farmers are going to have a hard
time getting their spring supplies Of
fertilizer seeds. lime, maehia .sd
equipment unless they order earlier
than ever before, because of the SER
ieus and alarming car shortage and
ccngested condition of shipping on the
railroads. The car shortage December
list, was estimated at 10000 cars, as
compared with less than half that
number October LIST. and only 10000
cars on September LIST. With the rapid
increase in shortage, and with indica-
lions pointing to greater shipments
than ever before this spring, farmers
who expect to get their crops started
early and to secure good yields next
season, should do all their spring
Shopping" early.
The six to eight weeks preceding the
opening of the spring planting season
is one of the rush times on the rail
roads. The period extending through
the latter part of December and JAM
uary is comparatively slack in traffic.
To extend the spring season over three
months instead of six weeks is what is
necessary this year, in order that cars
may be used for several hauls instead
of one and that the side tracks and
yards are not crowded so as to prevent
rapid loading and unloading of ship
Hents. The cooperation of farmers,
dealers, manufacturers and railroads
is necessary if the desired results are
to be brought about.
The cities as we'll as the country will
be affected seriously, if spring ship
ments are not made early and moved
on ting High prices that are now be-
ing paid for food supplies will be
eclipsed if next years crops are not
seeded promptly, fortified, cultivated,

RONE'S CLAIMS AS SITE FOR
ARM0R PLANT TO BE CON-
SIDERED EARLY NEXT WEEK

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. S0.-Ciyic ant
commercial organizations of this city
which are supporting the city of Rome
Ca, in the effort to secure the United
States government armor plate plant
have been notified that Rome's com.
plete brief and argument will be sub
SAAted to the board of engineers in
pn early next week.
THE claims Of the Floyd county city
for the location of the plant are being
supported with remarkable unanimity
by commercial bodies throughout the
state, as well as by the press of the
state in general, so that the Rome
movement has grown to the dimen-
sions of Georgia movement.
The brief prepared by the Rome
Chamber of Commerce gives a most
comprehensive and detailed presenta-
ton of the citys advantages as a loca-
ton for the plant, such as her nearness
to the coal and iron fields, her accessi-
bility to the Atlantic and Gulf coasts,
her protection against invasion by the
range of surrounding mountains, her
potential water power in a radius of
twenty miles, and her pure Anglo
Saxon population.
Out of large number of cities and
towns that applied for the plant, the
government engineers selected nine
teen whose merits entitle them to con-
sidration. and Rome is one of these
nineteen, being the only Georgia city
on the list.

ment to handle their eros NJ e,
must place their orders early if they
are to secure their supplies in time for
use next spring. Prices of machinery
and some other supplies have been
rising rapidly-another reason for
early ordering. Some idea of the ex-
tent of the use which farmers make of
the railroads in the spring may be
brought out by the fact that over 300.-
600 cars are required each year under
normal conditions to handle the four
million five hundred thousand tons OF
fertilizer used on spring crops Rail-
roads say that it will be absolutely i'm
possible to supply this number of cars
for fertilizer shipments in the usual
six weeks period. Unless earlier ship
ments are made, large seasons, and
results and yields will be decreased
materially.
Early ordering of supplies has other
advantages. In many sections, the haul
ing to the farms may be done "on
the snow and before the breakup Of
the roads in the spring. When work
is least rushing is the time to put the
teams to hauling. AS soon as the plant
ing season opens, the horses can hard
ly be spared for hauling work except
when urgent and then at the expense
of the planting work which should be
done at once. If farmers will realize
the urgency and seriousness of the
situation and will order their supplies
earlier than ever before, the shipments
can be handled. 1t is. a~case of where
every body must cooperate to bring
about the result that everybody wants.

following as representing my views as

First. there is the matter of the
number to be trained 1t is estimated
that not over 500,0O0lof the men who
come of age each year are physically
fit for military service. 1t is not my
recommendation nor that, as far as l
know, of any oficerIto hold fifteen or
twenty millions of men in arms, but
rather to divide our men between the
ages of Is and 45 into first, second, and
third line groups or,elasses,
Personally, do not believe we
should give the trailing until the year
in which the youth becomes 10. 1t
would then be intensive for period OF
six months and once finished he does
not again come uGder training until
he is 81 This six months intensive
training would be equivalent to one
and a half years ii average regular
army training. the year IN Whlch
he reaches 81 he serves one year WIN

nlent or other organization, the nrst

ped organization and is a member OF
the force which would be called II any
emergency arose during his year.

BThe officers for ii Yft sa.nssYill
exist in the form of abs I'VE
corps assigned to defnitg organiza
tons, and their status will be prac-
tically permanent, as shown by that OF
the superior on-commissioned officers.
There is nothing stupendous in the
numbers While it is true that after
the system has been in operation for
twenty-seven years we shall have a.
relatively large number of trained men
in the country. they would not be liy
ing on the basis of soldiers, but simply
as citizens following their normal oc-i
equations, men who have had some
training. They will be better for the
training from every standpoint. They
would be citizens who have been
trained and who have passed through
their year of service with the colors.
At 20 they pass into the second line
group It is extremely improbable that
we should ever pass beyond the first
group unless it is a war for national
xistence against overwhelming attack,
and in that case the fact that all our
men had received training in their
youth would be very great advantage.
Present Systems Failures.
"The militia and volunteer systems
have been failures and cannot be de-
pended upon to meet modern condi-
lions Of organization. nor can any
other plan be depended upon except
one which recognizes the principle of
universal obligation for service.
Service during the training period
should be without pay and also with
out expense to the men under train
4 ing. 1t should be considered part of
a. mans obligation to the nation. Ser
vice in war or service during the month
of intensive training prior to service
with the colors should carry with it
such moderate pay as may be determ-
ined upon. We must get away from
the idea of buying our soldiers and
strive to impress upon our people a
sense of individual obligation for ma
tional service.
