A Tennessee man is to head the

THE great world war did not come
and go without its lessons" said the
Rev. A. L. Boone, ID. pastor Of the
First Baptist church. Of Memphis, in
speaking OF the proposed missionary
program Of the Baptists. "As the dark
night brings out the stars, so the war
has brought out some things which
heretofore have been dormant n in,
visible. One thing which has appeared
Is the Willingness and the ability Of the
people to do great things, Only a lit
tie while ago the people were almost
outraged at the thought Of a billion
dollar congress- Now a b~illon-dollar
proposition Is reasonably conservative
things than it is to do little things.
Indeed, with cooperation some un-
heard Of things have been accomplished.
Even the masses have learned to think
in large numbers.
The religious people have actually
seen a vision. Several Of thu Christian
denominations have put OF great pro-
grams. One OF the latest undertakings
is the movement on the part Of South
eTn Baptists to raise S75, 000. roo in five
years. This does not include a single
cent Of local expense, but is to be APP
piled to missionary. educational and
| benevolent work. Many who have
never been liberal before will respond
TO this colossal call. An appeal Is to be
made to the 5000, 600 Baptists In the
South. One of the interesting features
OF this movement Is that It WINS passed
by the Southern Baptist convention, a
most conservative body, with great en-
thuslasm and unanimity. Five years ago
such a motion would nave been laughed
ont Of order. but times have changed. y
The Baptist World, OF Louisville, In
an editorial this week says;
Now, Southern Baptists, you viii
have n chance to show your mettle,
We have boosted OF our doctrines and
our history, Now what will be the YER

THE HOOP SKIRT.

The first modern hoop skirt--a- cos tune which modistes attempt to re- vive every now and then-was in vented by Joseph Thomas, who was born in Paris 92 years ago today, and who died in Hoboken, N. J., a few years ago. The hoop skirt of Thomas contrivance was very popular from 1850 to 1870. when it began to de- cline. The monstrCsity of cumbrous skirts, held out by hoops, was carrie d 10 such a point that mere man was almost crowded off the earth, and the fair sex began to assume the propor- tiOns of balloons. Probably no other style of feminine attire was so un- slightly and ridiculous as this, yet 1t enjoyed a tremendous vogue, and was at least a blessing to the manu- lecturers of the materials used in the making of dresses. The "hoops" of Joseph Thomas constituted q reviva1 of the crinolines or faringdaIes of the time of Queen Elizabeth when women wore hoop-like pettIcoats made oi whalebone. The hoop skirt was the cause of many accidents and loss oI life occasioned by coming in contact with fire or machinery.

POLES

Jane Courthope and Company will close their engagement at Polls to- night in their charming little playlet Our Family" This engaging little comedy drama is described as "an incident of everyday life" and 1t bears an appeal to all. An excellent com pany is seen in support of Miss Cour- thope.
 One of the best photoplays based on the international spy system is the False Faces in which Henry B. Walthall Is starred. Walthall is seen as French secret agent who, after some thrilling adventures, succeeds in rounding up a gang of enemy spies in New York. The Pathe News is another feature of the film program.
 Joe Towle, the eccentric comedia n who Is billed as "a loose nut" con unues 10 make them laugh with his unusual entertainment; and the Three Variety Girls, with -ongs and dances offer a very pleasing variety pro- gram.
 Chappele and Stinnette, in a song and dance skit called T Wish You Would"; and the Four Nelsons, offer ing an acrobatic novelty, are other important fea lures of the bill.
