Council Of National Defense, of Ash
land. received alletter from The state
chairman. Mrs Charles Castner, the
registrars and the loyal women who
signed the registration cards.
We have been authorized to leave
the registration open at the library
until we receive notice from Wash
|ington, D. C.
A few explanatory points:
1. The registration is purely vol
untary and in no way compulsory.
2. The purpose is to secure an Of
ficial record of the woman power of
the country, so that in case of emer-
gency the government may know
where to turn for needed service.
Our next work will be the signing
of the Hoover food pledge.
3. Even though a woman offers
her services when she registers, she
will not be required to give that serv-
ice if her circumstances have changed
when she is called upon to serve and
asked to fulfill her promise.
4. The registration is not designed
to take women from their homes at
any time unless they are willing to
serve away from home.
Women registered as follows: Ag-
IS; domestic, 35; profess
sional. 20; social service. 12; miscel-
2; clerical, 25; Industrial,
10; public service, 27; Red Cross. 1;
contributing, l. Those registered
without service, so.

Fall Fashions Show
Military Effects

Trench styles are the keynote of
fashion in both mems suits and over
coats. In fact, the trench" is 1t.
The trench overcoat is made rather
loose, falling In straight lines from
the shoulder to a little below the
knee, with loose, full belt and an
inverted pleat down the back. This
trench coat is distinctive style de-
velopment Of the season. Some of
these are made with slit in the front
of the coat through which the belt
can be crossed and buttoned UNDER
meath, thereby making the coat suit
able for the conservative man who
does not like the idea of having the
belt come clear around to the front.
They are also made with half-belt
in the back. The inverted pleat or
the pinch back is featured in prac-
tically every novelty coat for this
winter. On many of the belt effects.
chiefly the trench coats, large metal
buckles are used.
Few Of the Balmacaan, Chester
field or boxcoats Uf earlier seasons
are shown for this winters wear.
Full draped back coats without belts
are sparsely shown and few ulster
cites, but these largely for motorists
or men with special preference for
this class Of garment. All these over
coats are made of extremely heavy
fabric and are shown in either solid
colors, large blocked patterns or
small mixtures. Few stripes or
plaids are noted.
The colors are Of the darked and
richer shades, such as browns, green's,
steel grey, burgundy, chocolate and
myrtle. Many of the cuffs have or
namental tabs and some Of the most
extreme models have pockets with
inverted pleats. For the most part
the pockets are either large patch
pockets or slash.
The trench coat influence is also
shown in the newest development Of
the sack suit. These are also made
with the belt clear around similar to
the overcoats, and many have the
tunnel belt effect at the side seams
so the belt can be buttoned at front
underneath the coat. Some Of the
belt all-around models have buckles
instead OF buttons. The backs are
pinch back, shirred backs or inverted
pleat back.
Novelty details are profuse and
unique on the more extreme models.
These are demonstrated mostly on
pockets and cuffs and are so varied

Coffee Market In Our Hands.

Prior TO the trouble in Europe Ham
burg and Havre were the two great
coffee markets of the world, both re-
celving goods from the growers of all
the world and storing them In wonder
full warehouses to be re-exported ac-
cording to trade requirements. Today
both these markets are totally elimi-
mated and 1t is within our power to
dominate the coffee trade of the fu-
ture.
Conditions for this are ideal. In the
first place no duty Is charged on coffee
imported Into the United States. Sec
ondly, we are well situated, geo.
graphically, to become the distributing
center for this staple for the western
hemisphere and should be the middle
men for this line for the bean grown
in South and Central America and the
West Indies. Furthermore, our larger
ports have many merchants handling
this article exclusively.

This remarkable photograph was
taken inside the German lines from
the airplane of an aviator who made
a raid on a great boche ammunition
depot The daring aviator, starting
out on the apparently reckless ven
turc of getting by the German lines
and successfully bombing the Teuton
stores Of munitions, flew to point
above the depot and dropped quanti-
ties Of incendlary bombs while the
Germans kept firing terrific fusillade
at him. Despite the danger, he kept
at his task and earned his reward
when he saw the munition storehouse
burst into flames. The smoke from
the burning depot can be seen ascend
ing. The aviator returned to his own
lines safely.

INTERSTATE SYMPHONY ARTISTS
Coming to Augusta Feb. 5, Auspices
of Cecilia Club

The Cecilia. Club takes pleasure In
announcing that for its opening con-
cert this year the Interstate Symphony
Artists have been secured. This trio
is composed Of Mrs. Jessie Downer-
Eaton pianist, Carl Webster, 'cellist,
Arthur Brooke, flutist, and each artist
is a soloist of the best sort.
Jessie Dover Eaton is one Bos-
toms most famous pianists She has
appeared as soloist with the largest
and best combination of the Boston
Symphony Orchestra and is a great
favorite with patrons of high class
chamber music. Her name on any
programs gives much pleasure.
Carl Webster 'cellist, is generally
conceded by competent critics to be
a peer among the leading 'cellists Of
the country. His easy yet brilliant
execution and his adaptability to the
requirements of the occasion compels
administration while his personality
makes friends. The past season he
was soloist with the ST. Louis Sym
phony Orchestra
Arthur Brooke, futist, is too well
known to many to need any introduce
ton. Mr.. Brooke has been a member
Of the Boston Symphony Orchestra for
II years. He has played in the finest
orchestras Of England and America
and he has an international reputation
as a soloist
The program arranged by these art
lists will be one Of much interest to
music lovers. and the presenting of
this trio by a club so well known as
the Cecilia Club insures a concert of
true musical merit. The concert will
be given in the Penney Memorial
church at o'clock Monday evening.
Feb. 5. Tickets are put at the very
reasonable price Of IS cents and are
for sale by the active members of the
Cecilia Club and at Pierce's book

MUNICIPAL COURT
Family Troubles Only Matter Before
Thursday Session

The only business to claim the at
tention of the municipal court at the
Thursday session Of that tribunal was
a hearing which came in the afternoon
and which called for the smoothing of
the troubled waters of the matrimonial
sea over which the members Of one fam
lily in Royal Park are sailing. and aft
er the matter which the court had TAX
en- in hand had been threshed out 1t
looked as if the courts object had been
accomplished.
In it's first stages the case looked
really serioNs inasmuch as the head of
the family John Poulin by name, was
alleged to have deserted his wife, Della.
and carried away their three children
aged respectively six years. two years
and nine months. The complaint was
made by Mrs. Poulin and in response
to warrant sworn out by her, Mr.
Poulin was brought into court. He was
represented by Benedict F. Maher, and
when the usual question was asked he
pleaded not guilty. The woman was I'M
able to speak English and the testimony.
or rather her answers to the questions
by the court and Mr.. Maher, were
made through an interpreter.
From what was learned in this way
it appeared that the trouble between
Mr.. and Mrs. Poulin grew out Of her
refusal to go out with him last Sun
day evening, her alleged refusal being
that he was intoxicated From that
time it appeared that embers were add
ed from time to time to feed the flames
of the family quarrel that was in prog
ress until at about 11.20 last Tuesday
night when the climax was reached;
that at that time Mr.. Poulin took the
three children and carried them to an
other house, said ito be that Of a rela-
tive. and also locked up his house.
Some time was devoted by the court
and also by the counsel for the respond
ent in an endeavor to restore amicable
relations between the Poulins. with the
result that Mr.. Poulin finally agreed to
take back his wife, open up the house
and bring the children home, although
he admitted that he was afraid of his
wife. And thus the matter stands.
