 These hats are made of velvet faced with Chinese blue and trimmed with blue picot ribbon and they are also made of white velvet lined with flesh color and trimmed with a black bow of ribbon.

 If the hairdressers did not have these two types of work to be done with the hot iron, they would certainly despair, for the new hats are more en- the hair that will show this autumn is the ear tab. There is not the slightest chance of this part of the coiffure going out of fashion. The woman who would try to wear a fashionable hat in con junction with hair that was brushed up away from the ears, would look like a rabbit with it's ears pulled straight up and held by a human hand.

 there is no need of a coiffure of
 importance, because only the ear
 tabs show.
 New York, August S0-The hairdressers have reason to bemoan the fact that the milliners are against them. When ever one talks to woman who gets her income from arranging hair, there is no doubt but that the subject of the mod ern hat will be brought up.
 Throughout the long years, the mill liners have conspired among themselves to keep in fashion the kind of hat that entirely covers the hair. In the even ing, when by all the laws of human vanity women and hairdressers should an absolute lack of any attempt at hair dressing these days. The simplicity pre- vails that might have been copied from the eleventh century, wlsen the strands of hair were plaited together with rib- bon as foundation.
 STILL THE MARCEL WAVE There are many women who will tell you that Marcel of France and Marconi of Italy are of equal value to the world The undulating wave which this French coiffeur invented and came to this coun- try to teach, has kept women in good humor for over a decade. As fashion, it still exists. although it Is surprising how it's rival and predecessor, the round wave, is gaining in fashion. Another feature that the milliners will insist upon this autumn is the straight line above the eyebrows. In truth, the word above is not strictly correct. There are many reasons to suppose that the eyebrows themselves will be extn- guished The woman who dips her hat back even a fraction from her eyebrows will look as out of the picture as if she wore a poke bonnet tied under the chin with strings.
 There is no possibility of wearing a knot at the nape of the neck, because the tight headband of the hat will not allow it, so the hair must be brushed up or tightly twisted from the nape of the neck to the crown of the head, in order to allow the hat to rest on an even, circular foundation
 This is the basis of all millinery to- day-this straight line around the head After you achieve that, do anything you please with the crown.
 THE COLLAPSIBLE GROWN
 From a bird's-eye view of the new fashions, which is all one can get this early in the game, there is to be no diminution in the use of the loose, flexi- ble crown.
 There is one type of hat that is al- ready far advanced in fashion. It has stiff crown, but it remains sole mas

TROY

Troy, August 30.-(Special 1.-The local board of examining physicians finished examining the drafted men of the second noon. A majority of the men stood the physical tests successfully, but most of them asked for exemption blanks It is thought that the quota for the county, 1855 men, will be supplied from this call as 106 were secured in the first call. County Solicitor Charles Brannen has filed appeals to the district board of more than 100 exemption cases.
 Two former Troy boys are now in the training camp for officers for the army at Leon Springs, near San Antonio, Tex. They are Frank l.. Zimmerman, Jr., son of F. L. Zimmermann of this city. and Russell Gibson, son of Tax Collec- tor Gussie Gibson. These young men made quite a record in their examina- tions, as MT. Zimmerman was one of the 35 out of $50 applicants from Shreve- port, La, where he has been living, to pass the tests, and Mr. Gibson was the only one of 35 applicants from Tyler, Tex, to pass.

that he finally took up his present

beat Brown, although to a good judge
both looked like bad matches for the
youngster. He afterward beat Brown
