CITY WOMEN BUY in
The SMALLER TOWNS
WHILE HIGHFALUTIN' COUNTRY
COUSINS BUY IN CITIES AT
THE HIGHER PRICES.

ATLANTA, Ga.-A taste of warm
weather has turned the thoughts of
Atlanta women to spring millinery,
and very soon the pilgrimage of
many shrewd buyers will begin to
small cities, where they have found
that they get equal styles for much
less money. 1t is fact not general
ly known that scores of Atlanta wo-
men, indeed, hundreds of them, buy
their hats in small city stores in
stead of buying in Atlanta. They
have learned from actual experience
that the stocks of milliners in social
ed small towns" are often the equal
of the stocks in the high-priced es-
adjustments of their home city, and
are a great deal cheaper when it
comes to price They find that they
can pay railroad fare to and from
the small city and still save money
on the purchase of hats. Nor is their
trade confined to millinery. They buy
suits, dress goods and many other
things in the line of wearing appar-
ell. And while they are travelling out
of the city to save money scores of
women from the towns where they
trade are travelling to Atlanta to pay
big prices on the idea that they are
getting superior style.

ing the draft law so as to include all
men who have reached their twenty
first Birthday since June 5. 1917, and
win hereafter reach that age General
Crowder believes that at least 700 900
men can be added yearly to the avail
able class For that reason he thinks
that there is no immediate necessity
of going beyond Glass / in future

Much has been said about raising
or lowering the draft agel limits Cen
eral Crowder is not at this time in ia
vor of doing this In the interest OF
fair distribution OF the military bur
den, however, he proposes that the
