Skirts Are Very Short.

Well, the tendency is all in the di- rection of the skirts that are shorter than anything America has ever worn or even dreamed about, You hear it Said that the Parisians are wearing their skirts very long, but when you see them with their skirts actually eX tending just below their knees, so that when their arms are raised the skirt pulls above the knee, you know what a short skirt really is. It is eaSy.On ma teral an l is extremely good looking when the figure of the wearer can stand the strain. The skirts are tight, too, but what matters that when their length is what it is? No trouble about taking good, long step in dress of this character. Then the coats, when it is a suit, reach almost to the bot tom of the skirts, leaving, in fact, only about two or three inches of the skirt to be seen. The coats are either strict ly tailored or they show little full ness about the hips. That tells a story of forthcoming fullnesses of even greater volume.
 It Is so with the dresses. Always there is a slight gathering of extra material where the hips join the waist. It Is the pannier that is greeting us on the broad highway of fashion. As yet 1t Is uot large enough nor full enough to be alarming, though there are ru- mors of hoops about the hips and even about the bottoms of the skirts.
 The sleeves now in vogue can hardly be called sleeves. They actually are top of the shoulder. In most instances that is all, and the Parisans wear them fearlessly for morning and after noon. In the evening there is no sign to be seen of sleeves.
 Even the blouses for wear with tailored suits are scantily equipped as to sleeves. They will be quite high at the neck, buttoning up under the chin most uncomfortably on hot day, and then they will have these little, made quate sleeves-that Is, they are made quate for anything except setting off a gOod-lOoking arm.
 Indeed, a FrenchwOman's dress of the present mode is little more than two strips of material sewed together and cut kimOno fashion, though the lines of her frock are not flowing !; they follow the outline of her figure. Evening gowns, far from being an exception to this rule, carry things to an exaggerated degree. The economical use of material there extends to the 1 neckline which not only opens at back to the waist, but sometimes below that point. These gowns are low in front also. All that is used for the bodices are two pointed strips of material on either side of the front. In order to keep this on there are strings of jewels or beads attached to the points strung around the neck, and from the back of the neck strung to the waistline again. It is the fabric of the evening gown that counts for everything and its draping.

HoKE,s GREATNESS

We got a communication from Sen
ator Hoke Smiths press agent in
Atlanta in today's mail which says:
Senator Smith is not only tower
of strenth as one of the states repre-
sentatives in Washington, but he is
one of the foremost leaders CT the
democratic party of the nation"
If the Georgia senator is really all
that, why should his press agent have
to tell Georgians about it? That
should be the least necessary. We
know what's the trouble. Senator
Smith has given his vacation to tell
ing Georgians that his attitude to.
wards the president and the admin
stration was right. 1t wasn't right
Not only that, it was desperately,
aGgressively, deplorably an aim to
wreck anything Wilson undertook and
it was all that at time when all
party leaders (as Hoke says he isl
should have been trying to back up
the party program.
We are not going to forget Hoke
and Hardwick. And we believe it is
not altogether appropriate for Hoke
to come back to Georgia and have
himself announced as party leader
when he got on the outside with a
few like Hardwick, LaFollette. and
Borah and sought to destroy every
| effective step taken by the democrats
in pushing the war to a successful
end His last act of the great party
leader that he is was to felicitate
with Senator Borah on the floor of
the senate over the attack Borah
made on Wilson and the league of
nations.
Back home where he was last week
trying to put up his fences he told
Georgians that the embargo on cot
ton ought to be lifted,-ought to
have been lifted all along, even while
we were at daggers points with the
enemy. Now. we are still at war and
cotton is one of the materials used
in making ammunition with which tc
/, fight, He told Georgians that Wilson
could have lifted the embargo and
would not do it. That is not So and
The Cordele dispatch., 1919-05-16

Hoke Smith knowns it. What did
President Wilson have to do with
England and France, and what wis
dom was there in trying to get cotton
to Germany when Germany was try
ing all the time to sink all ou- ships?
is it any wonder that Georgians who
were watching Hoke Smith believed
him German sympathizer along with
Hardwick?
Hoke is a wise statesman and all
that, but he stood like a great Gibral-
tar between his farming contituency
and the fixing of cotton prices last
season,-would not agree to it. Stamp
ed his foot at Wilson and swore with
a great oath that he would die de-
Tending the rights of the cotton farm
er. Wilson let cotton prices alone. We
believe he was then in the act of fix
ing prices at a figure which would
have saved the cotton farmer millions
of dollars. The price of wheat is to-
day making many millions of dollars
for the western farmer 1t might have
been thus with cotton, but Hoke and
the anti-Wilson forces raised such a
rumpus it could not be done.
| Now, we do not believe Hoke
| Smith is zone of the foremost leaders
of the democratic party of the ma
ton" We have believed many year
that he could be, but that time is fast
dwindling into an impossibility. His
best years are before him and when
he throws them away floundering and
slashing about like he did when the
democratic party had the war against
Germany on it's hands, we begin to
feel that he is not specially interest
ed in greatness.

OFFICIAL ORGAN CRISP COUNTY
MUCH YET TO BE DONE

The Dispatch desires to express to
all citizens who helped carry the road
bond issue it's sincere appreciation
of the spirit manifested We desire
in the same breath the urge our
friends among those who didn OF
want bonds to be more optimistic and
wait for demonstration of the full
worth of this public Improvement
1t is quite sure that we will not
get through without some mistakes.
These entrusted with the paying will
be men, only men, and since they
have to proceed much like men in the
accomplishment of the paving task,
there will be things done which will
not please the person who is not
sympathetic.
If we are willing to lend a hand in
securing the paved roads as we have
been in voting the bonds, there will
be little trouble on the way. This is
a public Improvement that will mean
vast advantages. The county and all
business enterprise and industry
therein will profit. All our schools
and churches will feel it, All our
values will be affected by it. And the
taXes,-that frightful bogaboo that
stalled some of us, in five years will
be forgotten Thos who were doubt
full will be converted to the wisdom
of the movement for permanent roads
and everybody will be moving to the
completion of the task.
The next wise thing is patience. An
excited pull for paving in your
neighborhood against the same kind
of pull in another neighborhood will
result in a thousand hindranCes. Let
us try to work in harmony. We need
cooperation still. The aim will be to
serve everybody fairly and justly.

SHAFT FOR HEROES

men in the World War Wide manifes-

These are but evidences that it is
the best time to strike on this
thing. The patriotic fervor of the
people will never reach a higher
stage and it will never be easier to
secure a fitting tribute in this form.
AS. to whether such a shaft should
go on the state capitol grounds when
there is a doubt as to whether these

another matter. We ought to get the
question of fitting state tribute to
Georgians settled while we can do

Nobody need expatiate on our
loyalty and true desire to honor our.
heroes. We can never do enough in
that direction, and it is so widely
apparent that any statesman or law
maker ought to be able to see it.

A SHAM e.
From Atlanta Journal:

From Atlanta Journal:
On the average salary received by
school teachers in Georgia the Co
lumbus Enquirer-Sun tartly and truly
remarks: 1T is so small we ought
to be ashamed of ourselves" Shame
is assuredly the proper feeling when
we see thousands of gifted and cuiti-
waited women who have spent long
years and large sums to equip them
selves for skilled service, receiving
less pay than telegraph messengers,
cooks and even the Crudest laborers.
These guides to whom are entrusted
so largely the training of the citizens
and home-makers of tomorrow are
given barely enough, as our contem-
porary says. Ito live upon in the most
economical manner" Yet, they are
required to spend part of their pit
tance "in attending special schools
so tnat they may be better equipped
for the work that develops upon
thca." Further:
1T is time the people of Geor-
gia were awakening to the sit
uation We want the best that
are to be had We are not at all,
satisfied unless We have the best,
and we should not be. In the
meantime. however, how can we
reasonably expect to have the
! best teachers, how can we hope to
have even next 10 the best, un-
less we are prepared TO pay them
what they are worth as teach
ers?
THE doctors, the lawyers and
| all professional men, except the
teachers, receive a reasonable
] amount, not only for their serv-
| ices. but for the knowledge they
have OF how what is to be done
should be done. They have eX-
pended their money in equipping
themselves and we do not regard
it as being amiss to pay them for
their knowledge. Why should we
not entertain the same view when

ing twenty. Such an assertion fits
the other protestant denominations
as we'll, although some of them are
spending more than are the Baptists
for christian education.
Recent efforts of the Baptists have
put them at least out of debt in
Georgia but education as we are fos-
tering it is but child's play as com
pared with what we should really be
doing. This superannuated minister's
fund is aimed at maintaining a larger
ministry, but it will not. For instance
what would a Baptist pastor who has
been drawing a three thousand dol
lar salary all his life do with a five
hundred dollar "old mans" fund
when he had to quit? Most of them
preach to the last and would net
think of charity donations.
Thus the five millions dollars for
superannauted ministers is but a
sentimental expression leading far
afield The older ministers, if they
had a vioce in it, would tell you that.
Why have we so neglected cduca-
tional interests? And why do we still
remain listless, still sleeping ever our
opportunities? Baptist and every other
protestant denomination ought to be
giving great wealth to education. The
salaries of the instructors and heads
of the departments at Mercer Univer-
sity haveb cen ridiculously low for a
generation. Every faculty member
who quit the institution Il year ago
and wen overseas with the war forces
drew much more money on a
charity enterprise than he drew as a
member of the faculty of Mercer
University where Georgia Baptists
were supposed to be paying for his
services.
This program will not dc. Taking
care of the superannauted ministers
is worthy matter, but preparing the
ministers is a much more important
one. 1t takes devotion of the rarest,
waTmest kind to make christian train
ing count for what it should The ma
jority of our leaders cannot afford to
lose interest. What they are doing at
the Atlanta convention, let us hope
will in some degree help to put Bap-
lists back in line to give the denomi-
nation more wealth to work for edu.
cation, christian education. That's
the highest most effective missionary
work in the world. The Baptists
have both numbers and wealth. Why
follow a paralyzing program when
both men and money may be working :?

it comes to paying school teach
ers for what they do?"
If the injustice to the teachers were
the sole consideration, common
sense of fair dealing should impel
to prompt reform. But the teachers
are cnly one element in the prob
lem. 1t is possible for many of them
to secure compensating positions in
other fields; and if there is not soon
betterment Of their present sala-
ries, they will be compelled to do SO
even more numerously than in the
last few years. But what of the chill
dren, and of those inestimately i'm
portant interests of the community
and the home which depend upon the
children's education? The things at
stake are all too vital for any city
or any Commonwealth to fail to meet
the great issue with a loyal mind and
an open purse.

A PARALYZED DOLLAR

In the Southern Baptist convention
in Atlanta plan has been pat for
ward which provides five millions Of
dollars for ministerial relief If that
fund goes for superannuated minis
ters alone, it signifies that southern
Baptists are missing their aims very.
very far in another line. Not one of
a thousand of the older ministers
would count it wisdom to set aside
any such fund for that purpose so
long as christian education, or that
part of it resting upon the shoulders
of the Baptists for PRONUNCIATION, is
so much in need of fostering wealth
of the denomination. That is paralyz
ing the Baptist dollar at a tremand
GUS speed.
We take this view of it because we
know without. another word that this
much money is not going to christian
education from a Baptist source. Ant
If it does. then half this superannuat
ed minister's fund still ought to go tc
education, because where we are
spending one dollar in Baptist chris
tian education, we ought to be spend
