tons in Paris showed the short jacket
cut much after the manner Of those
worn by the French soldiers In AL
giers and often supplemented by the
brilliant scarlet or yellow sash or an
immense suede belt pulled through sew
eral buckles in front.
The Elton jacket is not for the wom-
an with hips, however, and unless she
has been able to reduce her figure to
the proportions Of planked shad, 1t
Is wiser for her to look upon other
models with more approval.
There are short coats that hang
straight from the shoulders TO finger
length below the waist and are slightly
belted in such a manner that the waist
hline is casually defined.
Because of it's limitations, this short
jacket cannot be the ruling fashion.
None know that better than the
French artists, so they have sent over
loose coats Of silk poplin, and the
American designers have turned out a
new cape which reaches to the hips,
is slim in outline and fastens at the
neck with high rolling collar.
The Revival of Lace.
Starting out with the foundation
stone Of the new Paris fashions, which
are based ON the conservation Of other
materials than wool, and remembering
well that you must not bulge or flare
or to provoke discussion as to your
extravaganza in the usage of fabric,
then it is wise to go on to the minor
adjuncts of fashion.
The revival Of silk poplin Is q bit
Of news that appeals to the majority
Of women. You know, this fabric
makes admirable coat suits. and with
the modern activity OF nearly every
woman in this country, there will not
be such wide demand as usual for
frocks that need constant cleaning
and laundering.
The late spring and summer will
probably usher in vast array of
women dressed in silk poplln. Shan
tung, the thinnest gaberdine, satin
and dark foulard.
The tailored suit which is adopted
by such numbers of women doing
active relief work, has already set
it's impress upon the fashions, and ii
is quite probable, despite the talk of
the dressmakers, that coat suits of
silk poplin in black, beige, brown and
blue will rise to unusual heights of
popularity. Let us hope this may
| come about.
Dinner gowns are Of black, white
and cream lace, and they are elabO'

Lace bodices will be returned for

be added to suits Of white flannel,

BY the way, white flannel has sided
into the limelight. Palm Beach ap-
proves of 1t. Smart women say they
like it better than jersey. Once upon
time, it was the accepted summer
garb Of our leisure millionaire class
of men, but we have no such class
today, and the decks of yachts and
other pleasure craft have been placed
in the category Of things that were.

Woman's Apparel
and War Period

New York.-The conservation of
wool is an established fact in France
and America. 1t is fact that will en-
tirely change our conception of ap-
parel.
Silk will rule. The world has a sur
plus of other materials, it would seem,
from statistics, and yet the foundation
stone of conservation will extend
throughout the fashionable clothes "fOr
the period of the war"
The fundamental idea of saving has
so penetrated the consciousness of our
people, the propaganda is so wide
spread and vital, writes Anne Ritten-

house, that the historian Of the future
will surely look with extraordinary in
terest upon the psychological change
that took place in 100,000000 people
in eight months.
There are changes in n nation that
do not create surprise when they are
thrust upon it by an invading army
in war, but the change in America is
one of spirit. There is money a-plenty,
men by the millions, industries at full
speed, and yet, with wealth and re-
sources, 100,000,000 people have turned
a sOmersault in their attitude toward
material possessions.
Slim Little Clothes.
The passion for conservation wiped
out of existence the fashion for flow
ing robes made Of plenteous material.
Whenever a slim silhouette has been
thrust into the fashions, whenever an
extremely short and narrow skirt has
been offered to women, critics galore
have risen in their chickering's and de-
nounced women as immodest, indecent
and vain to the uttermost degree.
There is no such pickering today,
however. The critics of women's
clothes remain silent. A man looks
appraisingly at a woman gowned in
conservation costume and mods his
head in approval, as though she car
ried a flag.
There is no more talk about indie
cency. The talk hinges upon the pa
triotism shown In the slenderness of
silhouette and in the scarcity of ma
terials won. Therefore, fashion and
national approval go hand in hand.
Unless we are mockingly indecent and
there is no chance of that today, there
is none to rise and call us outrageous.
The excessive decolletage Of two
years ago would create a storm Of pro-
test in any public place. Giggling,
painted women with mere belts held
over their shoulders by. slipping bands
of rhinestones, would be frowned down
by men in khaki and by those In CT
william clothes.
And yet women may go on the
street with skirts so short and narrow
that they closely resemble trousers,
and laced army boots or puttees that
hn of ha
and not a glance Is given them that ex-
presses contempt or disapprOval.
The new suits In Paris, as well as
those that are launched In America,
show these skirts. Some are so mar
row that they might cause discomfort
if it were not that their shortness gave
freedom Of movement.
Coats are short when they belong
to suits. Army capes ripple down the
figure when warmth is needed.
The cape will be exceedingly smart
this season, so you who have one of
these garments tucked in the closet,
mind it well, for in q few weeks you
may be able to swing 1t on with the
bravado adopted by all those women
who are in war activities or would like
to be.
The Exaggerated Walstcoat-
Capes, and long waistcoats that
reach half way to the knees, are sub
stitutes for coats in the absence of
suits, although the really smart thing
is the Elton or the bolero jacket, as far
as the American fashions are con-
rerned.

their business. It is said that a
welI-known automobile Company
offers a small fortune to any man
who will save a few cents in the
cost of building prominent parts of

GOES ONE BETTER
Mckenzie Puts on Shorter Hours
to Conserve Fuel

The citizens of Mckenzie, bust
ness interests in general, are max
ing every effort to comply with
the recent order of Fuel Admins
traitor Garfield in the conserving
OF fuel. To that end at a meeting
of the Mckenzie Commercial Club
on Friday evening to take some ac-
ton among the business interests
it was unanimously agreed that the
merchants would observe different
opening and closing hours until
March /, as follows: Drug stores
to open at Z and close at 6; other
stores and business enterprises to
open at 5 and close at 5 each day.
This will mean a great saving in
fuel and light bills and will mean
that more coal can be distributed
TO other channels. A wood yard
to be maintained by citizens was
another movement placed on foot,
and it is hoped by this act to sup
ply urgent needs for fuel by de-
liyering wood and have people
burn wood instead of coal.
Mckenzie, like most towns, has
been short of coal supplies for
some time, and the condition is
growing serious with many of the
citizens.

Mesdames B. P. and X. B. Moore,
have presented that church with a
service flag, and it shows that 81
members of that denomination in
Mckenzie and community have
answered the call of their country.
The service was very impressive
that was held when the flag was
presented to the church. Short
talks were made by Mines. B. P.
Moore and j. A. Robins and the
pastor, Rev. Il. B. Swifte, made
the speech of acceptance. AS the

SCHOOLS TO CLOSE
Sheriff. Orders Schools Closed for
Three Weeks

State Superintendent S. W. SheF~
rill last Saturday issued orders for
the closing of all city and county
public schools in Tennessee for
three weeks, beginning last Mon
day. The step was taken in order
to save fuel. The state university
and normal schools were not in
Guided in the order.
The rural schools in this county
had practically all closed anyway,
on account Of the exceedingly cold
weather and shortage of fuel.
The schools have about all closed
and the order will, no doubt, be
pretty generally observed.
Mr.. Sheriff. had information
that a large per cent of the pupils
were out of school during the bad
weather, and that many houses
were not as comfortable as they
should be, and this very largely
influenced his action.

ASSISTANCE ASKED
Teachers Called Upon to Render
Service to Country

Teachers, principals and super
intendents of schools of Tennessee
have been called upon by Major
Rutledge Smith, chairman of the
State Council for National De-
Tense, for indexing the results OF
classification under the selective
service system. The organization
of the teachers in this state will be
made in compliance with general
call for aid from the schools OF
the country By President Wilson.
In the letter from the president
to the teachers, he said: The sue
cess of the seIective service system
has been largely due to the reli-
ance that has been placed on the
cooperation of all citizens in its
execution. In the registration the
election officers of the several
states were called upon to perform
a specific task, and they performed
it unanimously and efficiently.
Latterly have had occasion to
call the lawyers and physicians of
the country to specific duties and
they have responded in a solid
rank. The time has now come
when the teachers of the country
can perform a very necessary task,
and | have no doubt that they will
respond in the same manner"
In similar notice to the teach
ers of the United States sent OUT
from the Office of Provost Marshal
General Crowder attention is call
ed to the fact that it is of para
mount importance to the selective
featuressof che draft and to the eff
fective employment of man power
of the army that every man be so
placed in it as to give the most adj
vantage to his qualifications.
The problem is. therefore, to
find the men who can do various
things necessary to the modern
army.
For this purpose a central class
flied occupational file will be Or

Hog Production

The u. 5. department Of agri-
culture states that there were 450,-
900 less hogs killed during the tis-
cal year ending June 1917, than
for the previous year. Further,
those that were killed during 1916
were much heavier than those
slaughtered in 1917; which is an
other factor reducing the present
pork supply. In addition to the
above facts, there were estimated
to be 5 427, 900 less hogs on farms
September /, 1917. than there
were on September /, 1916. 1t is
from this 5,427 900 that many of
our brood sows for the year 1918
should have come. This is de-
crease in our present hog popula-
ton of some II per cent in COM
parison with last years hog pop
ulation.

WADE THROUGH SNOW
Continued Snow and Cold Bring
Much Suffering

It is said that we can get use to
most any condition, and that may
De true, but some conditions never
grow pleasant or agreeable. We may
get use to wading through snow,
but we will never like it, nor cease
to complain.
Our oldest citizens fail to call to
memory any worse weather than
we have had recently. Snow has
been on the ground at various
depths for nearly eight weeks, and
at this writing, Tuesday, it looks
like we are in for some weeks
more. Ia addition to snow we
have had sleet, ice and slush. AS
che boys say IF it is not one
thing it is something else," all
bad.
The snow here has reached a
depth of nearly two feet on the
level, to say nothing of the drift
ing. Saturday, Sunday and Mon
day were the latest big snow days,
and about all one could do was to
stay in and look out.
The cold weather has certainly
brought much suffering. Many
people had but little fuel, and
some could not get it, and suffer-
ing was the result. Everybody
had to economic on the fuel ques-
ton. Quite a lot of wood is
brought 10 from the country.

To Income Taxpayers

Nashville, Tenn, January 90,
1918.-Collector of Internal Rev
enue E B. Craig today stated that
the department at Washington is
calling on individual income tax
payers throughout the country to
pay their taxes when they file
their tax returns.
Many persons have been furn-
ished blanks by the collectors's Of
fee and some have obtained their
blanks from federal officers, sent
out by the collectors office at
Nashville. Collector Craig states
these officers will have visited
every county in the state by March
/. The collector urges that all I'M
married individuals whose net in
come for the calendar year, 1917,
was ST 900 or over. and that all
married individuals whose net in
come was $4,000 or over, get
their figures ready, and be able
to file their tax reports as soon as
the federal officer is in the county.
All parties who have already OBJ
tanned their blanks should be
prompt, Send in the report and
tax due without delay. 1t is a pa
triotic duty in these times to rem
der the government every service
that it asks. By paying taxes now,
you will give the government the
benefit of this revenue and enable
the internal revenue Office in this
state to render the public more eff
fcient service by avoiding the con-
gestion bound to result if taxpay-
ers wait until June to pay the
amount due.
