 purchased by shortening skirts some of the women we see nowadays could buy a whole bundle of bonds at a clip" l said unhesitatingly.
 Besides the men like short skirts" said the sly c. o. B.
 But shortening skirts necessitates something more expensive and faci- hating in hats, so as to keep the at- itention of the masculine eye from those er-er-places where clothes really ought to be- suggested. 70 don't know" smiled the Crusty Old Bachelor There was Q time when the peek-a-boo waist played an im- portant part in the history of the world.

 Talk about sacrifice ciamored. Men don't know the meaning of the word even. When it comes to sacrifice women are the eNeal articles. Why, any woman would gladly give up her new winter bonnet or a new pair of shoes, or food or fuel; anything to help her coun- try. But she prefers to decide for her self what she will sacrifice, and not be dictated to by & lot of old men who would probably tell her to sell the fur niture in her house or her fake hair

Mississippi College Girls
 Are Knitting for Soldiers

Columbus, Miss, October 12.-Students of the Mississippi Industrial Institute and College have acquired the knitting habit, and are busily engaged in mak- ing socks. sweaters and other wearing apparel for the American soldiers in France.
 Every afternoon scores of young ladies can be seen both on the campus and on streets near the college walking slowly along, with yarn and knitting needles in hand, deftly fashioning various ar ticles which are to go to yhe lighters across the ocean. They even take their knitting along with them when they visit soda water and ice cream parlors, and work industriously while waiting to be served.
 A Red Cross chapter has recently been organized at the college, and this has given a new impetus to the work. as the young ladies are very much interested in war activities of every character.

THE Austrians ave one-third Of
my country, the Bulgars hold the rest.
Before the war the population was
100000. Serbia's general loss in
population amounts to 1,15O,OOO.
From this we may have TO deduct
100000 in the Serbian army at Salo-
nika, 1000 wounded and reserves at
Cornfu and in France, and Tunis
$4,000 prisoners in enemy countries
$4,000 civilians interned, and $4,000
refugees. The 100000 prisoners or
interned are for the greater part
doomed to perish or become perman-
emily incapacitated. So the Serbian
losses are roughly already 100000
souls-more than one-fifth of the en-
tire population.
"And the end is not yet. We know
that 10000 Serbs persisted when they
revolted at Nish and Prokuplie a.
gainst Bulgar cruelties. According
to statement in the Austrian parlia-
ment at 0tokar Ribar, the Bulgars
have deported over 10000 Serbs to
Asia Minor. and about 5000 Serbian
girls between the ages of 10 and II,
have be Sent to the Harems OF Con-
stantinoplc. They have also deported
en- masse all business men, officials,
teachers and priests.
Serbian is no longer allowed in
the chools-Bulgarian teach the
Bulgar language. In the churches
Bulgarian priests preside. Serbian
books which were not burned have
been converted into plup for making
new paper. Children are sent by
wholesale into Austria. In one Hun
garian paper / saw that 500 were in
termed at Brunau. and Hungarian
teachers had been supplied. The OBJ
ject of course. is to denationalize
them and to utilize their labor.
