GEN. SCOTT EXPECTED
TO TRANSFER SHORTLY
Military Police Will Probably
Be Withdrawn From Chat
tanooga Very Soon.

Brig. Gen. w. S. Scott, for the past
several months in command of Fort
Oglethorpe. will be ordered elsewhere
and Col Frederick S. Foltz, COM
manding officer of the Sixth cavalry
will take charge, it was learned Mon
day.
Orders are expected at the post any
time transferring Gen. Scott and as
signing Col. Foltz. Orders have al
ready been received transferring the
Sixth cavalry into quarters within
the !circle and the Forty sixth infan
try will move into the old general
hospital No. IA quarters. These or
ders came from the war department.
Gen. Scott, however, stated Mon
day that he had heard nothing about
the matter, having received no in
formation either way.
Removal of the military police
from Chattanooga will probably take
place some time this month in view
of the small number of troops at
Fort Oglethorpe. No orders have
been issued to this effect as yet, but
it is understood that such orders will
be placed at an early date.

new AUDITORIUM SITE
UP FOR CONSIDERATION

w. !. Alexander has submitted a
McCallie avenue tract to the audi
torium commission as a site for the
memorial auditorium. The property
just proposed Is on the south side OF
McCallie avenue directly across from
the University of Chattanooga. The
lot is about 200xS00 feet. The lot is
said to be ample, the principal objec-
ton being that the> location is too
far removed from the business dis
trict.
The fact that the lot is low in the
back Is in its favor, since this will
eliminate the necessity of so much
excavating. MIR. Alexander has Of
fered the site for $4,000. The car
barn site continues to be favored by
a majority of the commissioners, II
seems. Several sites have been sub
mitted since a committee was ap-
pointed to appraise the armory and
the Selman stable property, but ru-
NOR is insistent that despite much
opposition heard about town, the au-
ditorium is practically certain to be
located next to the car barns.

Ladies, your handkerchiefs.
The time has come to say goodbye
to human clothes racks of the mascu-
line variety who have earned the IT,
tie of "fops" by their fastidious
tastes. But that is not all, for even
the conservative gentleman, who is
pronounced dapper because he wears
good looking clothes and has enough
of them to vary his dress menu from
day to day, is passing. High prices
have sounded the death knell to ev-
erything foppish or dapper and, here
after, men will not pore over fash
ion criteria to find out what to wear
and when to wear it. Oh, no; they
will be too busy chasing dollars in
order to buy plain, substantial
clothes.
Some even sigh for Garden of
Eden when they discover just how
much a new outfit will cost. They
wonder, after all, if it is worth the
effort to live in the twentieth CEN
fury with its maze of conventions
and customs. There was a time, they
tell each other, when they could go
to haberdasher and get all "dolled
up" on a weeks salary, but the pay
envelope has to be reinforced with
the check book these days.
