BOYS EASILY AMUSED AT TRAINING CAMP

The thing that struck me most at Fort McPherson." said Joe Mudd, who was in town Thursday, en route to Fort ress Monroe, was the psychological change that comes over men when taken out of their regular walk of life
 Tt seems that men become boys again They are easily amused. joke that ordinarily wouldn't get a smile told around the club will produce uproarious laughter in camp. It is good place for jokesters to pull chestnuts. They even laughed at some of my old ones and that ought to give you some idea of how easily they are amused.

DAY FOR SMALL INVESTOR

The men and women, with little money to invest, came in Thursday" said the report from the office last night This was encouraging. The government asked that all citizens of the country aid if possible, because the government wanted all to feel that the fight is being made for them, and not for the So-called big inter- ests The corporations have done their share, and likewise have the individuals done all they possibly could"
 Al C. Garber, secretary, issued state ment last night in which he said the campaign in Birmingham, which is being brought to an end this morning. was successful; that Birmingham has gone be- yond what she was asked to subscribe.
 Minor details will be arranged this morning, and at 10:30 o'clock messa ge will be given out from the office which will carry the report of the committee, thus bringing to an end the work of the Birmingham business men, laborers ana all citizens who aided in making the over- subscription possible.
 MT. Garber said last night he was Of the opinion it would be Saturday before Birmingham people will know how much was subscribed in the city. The report must come from the central committee at Atlanta, and 1t is possible it will take several days to prepare this compilat ation. Subscriptions that are received after cicsing hours this morning will go to the Atlanta federal reserve bank. Later 1t will be decided whether or not the gov ernmeut will issue the bonds. It is point ed out that it is possible the government will not issue bonds that come in after closing hours.

Last night at Il o'clock the last full day that bonds may be issued came to an end. When the office closed there were several men tired and sleepy from hard work during the past several days-work that result ed in Birmingham doing 'her bit'' in the present crisis.
 The committees are not yet through with their work and this morning many will be out completing one of the most systematic campaigns ever waged in Biringham-a campaign that has come in for praise from business men of the larger cities of the north and east, including Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, who praised the work of the Birmingham committee

Perfect team work of the several committees, which made up the Bir mingham loan committee, has result ed in an cription-consider ably more than Birmingham was asked to subscribe, according to unofficial reports last night.
 The office of the committee will be closed today, the last day on which bonds may be sold in the United States, and all persons who desire to aid the government in the fight against Ger many must come early. The report must be made to the reserve bank in Atlanta by 12 o'clock and this means that message will be forwarded at 10:30 o'clock this morning, giving the last report of the committees work.

Now Is the summer of the separate
skirt at hand. with sports skirts and
street skirts and tub skirts ready for
the hot weather, that is overdue. and
silk skirts for more dignified dress.
Hardly a wardrobe but has an example
Of each of these. Tub skirts, In heavy
cottons, are smartly tailored, with big
patch pockets, buttons and machine
stitching to give them the proper finish
for street wear. They are shown In
pique, pOplin, galatea cloth, basket and
other heavy weaves. In the same kinds
Of cloth, stripes and figured patterns

That fancy appears to have strayed
pocketward and to have fingered there.
Especially In sports skirts In Il plain
color the pockets the thing that pro-
nOunces the skirt as destined for the
shore or camp or the link. Some Of
these pockets are so large that they
look like panniers and suggest that a
hat might be carried I'm one and a
sweater in the other. Mostly they are

GIVE ODD NAMES TO COL0RS

season, when, as everybody knows,
navy blue Is not the thing there Is NJ
most MS much demand for that color

This year really definite effort has
been made to launch other cOlOrs. Folk
who deal In fabrics and dressmnkers
grow dreadfully weary of blue, blue,
heavenly blue, and not the least tell
ing characteristic In this campaign to-
ward n wider fashion spectrum Is In
giving colOrs interesting and appealing
names.
Bnttleship gray few seasons ago
would never have gone as well as 1t
did had Il not been for the timeliness
of the name, and the same holds true
of Russian green, which appealed to
all prO-allles.
There is no limit to the field from
which those who name cOlOrs draw.
Current events, history, the animal
kingdom, flowers, birds and the kitch-
en- larder all suggest names realistic
or romantic for the new hues.

The last chapter In the story Of
summer hats for motor wear Is now be.
fore us and the pretty tale Is told
There Is nothing sensational In 1t, and
nothing unusual; because mOtOrcars
are about as universally used as cook
stoves, and dress for motor wear as
varied us for the street. Any small,
flexible, clOse-fitting hat Of braid or
fabric, or of both combined, Is all right
for the car, and 1t may or may not
have a veil. AS rule, 1t does have a
small veil, either of chiffon or coarse
meshed silk net.
The logical hat for the car Is snug
fitting and provided with small brim,
which shades the eyes and gives be-
coming hues about the face. A veil,
just heavy enough to shield the eyes
from dust Is also graceful as well as
useful adjunct to the motor hat. The
most successful hat for the car Is a
twO-in-One affair that answers the pur-
poses of the traveller by rail as well
as those of the mOtOrist, and looks well
merely as street hat.
The three hats pictured are Of braid
and fabrics combined, flexible without
being flOppy, and having enough sup
port In the crowns to be shapely. They
are designs of specialists In motor hats
and each is provided with small
elastic band, and the back, let In at
the base of the crown, that holds the
hat close to the head.

MANTELS ARE TOO CROWDED
Tendency Is to Disfeure Room by
Placing Too Many Articles on
the Shelves.

Mantels have long been sticklers
in the human mind. If you have any
sort of shelf i'm room, why let 1t
go bare? This is the trend of popu-
lar reasoning. And so things are lined
up on our shelves until there Is room
for nothing else; crowds of things
And yet this never happens without
the room losing out decoratively. I
have never yet seen gOod-looking
room which had disfiguring crowded
mantel, writes housewife.
1t Is possible to satisfactorily &C.
complish mantel arrangement with
three articles; it is usual to accom-
plish 1t with five. Any over this num-
Der is decoratively dangerous.
Ornaments must be artistically pos
sible, even though not expensive. Cut
glass, hand-painted ornaments, the
usual "parlOr" vases--all these things
would have n poor effect, no matter
how they were arranged.
