The bridge company will give $1,000000 to each organiza- tion, provided total safes reach $2b0,- 900, and in addition will give bonus of $250 to the team making the larg- est sales. So far Decatur has sub scribed for $100.000 of the bridge. stock. while Athens has underwritten an ad- ditional S5O.000. Albany is expected to secure the remaining $100.00O needed to begin actual construction. as it is planned to bond the bridge for about half its value.
 Farmers of Morgan county met with business and professional men here today in a mass meeting for the pur- pose of thoroughly organizing the Morgan county unit of the American Cotton Association. The mass meet ing was called by E.. w. Bussey. county president of the cotton associa- tion.

BANK CLEAR|NCS
 RETAIN INCREASE June Gives Promise of Ex- ceeding May, the Districts
 Record Month

Bank cIearings of the past week were nearly twice those of the same week In 1919.
 For the week ending Saturday they were S10.571.OOO. md for the corresponding week In 1919 they were S1O,5S4,OOO.
 Not only that, but June c1earfngs are keeping close to those of May, which Is unusual. June usually falls considerably behind May.
 Clearings for the past week are within less than $500 GOO of those of the same week in May. the late ter having been $2O,OO8,OOO.
 The large clearings of June are reflections of the unusually big business done by the merchants.

FASHION FADS AND FAMCIES

AS the fall season progresses, it is
predicted that the yard yelling will
be used more and more.
The collars OF the new suits are
high and small, and in many cases are
made simply Of Il band OF fur.
The leading fabrics for coats and
suits are duvetyn, V~clourS, bOlivias and
a number Of new wool fabrics in pile
effect.
Belts and pockets in the new suits
are conspicuous by their absence.
Where pockets are present they are
mere Sits with no trimming whatever.
Veilings will hold All important place
in millinery fashions, especially ia the
fail season. Exquisite lace wells will
be revived and ia many cases they viii
be used for the entire commentator
of the hat.
In many of the more elaborate
draped wells, embroiderieS in metal
and rich colors will be popular. French
blue, henna, jade, heliOtrOpe and or
ange are some Of the unusual shades
which will be featured.
Satin is the favorite among silks for
afternoon wear. one very chic model
of black satin has short sleeves with
deep cuffs Of plated red georgette.
The bodice IS plain and the skirt puifS
over IL narrow straight underdress.
Separate skirts follow the tenden-
cies Of the dress skirts us usual, name
IT,, long overslirts, loose panels and
all-around tunics, t%riple-tier skirts and
plated flounce effects. Accordion
plating is frequently used for %fiounces,
but an entirely plated Skirt is rarely
found.
New fall gloves are Of varied
lengths TO suit the different length
sleeves now in vogue. For suits and
long-Sleeved dresses wriSt-length
gloves, those with straps about the
wrist, and the eight-button length are
used. The vogue for the three-quarter
length sleeves makes he 1G-button-
length popular also.

Judged worthy to live. Daily more

Thousands Have Ai1ney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence OF Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record OF success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life insurance Companies. in
an interview or the subject, made the as
toais'ins statement That one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
iccted is because kidney trouble is so
Common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that taey have tha disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and i3rge.
However, If you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv. .

the part under the cotton cloths does
not dye. Then n dips the whole
end into the dye, not leaving it very
long, and not, Of course, boiling it.
You see, if you crumple the scarf
together and tie W rags around the
END, two inches apart, and then dip

with irregular edges. You can get q
most interesting circle effect by pull
ing up a bit Of the scarf and tying a
rag around 1t Il couple Of inches
down. OF course, you must tie all the
places at once.

MAY MAKE YOUR OWN SCARF
Accessory Is Worn Now as 1t Has Not
Been for Many Seasons
Past.

We have gone back to the day Of the
scarf. A. least. we are living in a
day Of scarfs, call it going backward
or forward, as you like. The scarf is
worn now as it has not been for many
seasons.
1t is quite possible to make many
Of the lovely scarfs yourself. TO be-
gin with, there are serviceable scarfs
Of tricotine. This fabric comes woven
in tubular fashion. and one buys a
yard and q half or two yards Of IT,

Ing fringe Of a matching color in
them and fastening them together, or
else fastening the raw edges under
and then tying the ends Of the scarf
with homemade fringe, made with
heavy silk floss matching the color
Of the scarf.
Then there are scarfs of g%eorGette
crepe, embroidered with beads or
spangles. You can stamp these scarfs
yourself with q suitable design, and
then sew the beads or spangles in
place without too much trouble, and,
If you work carefully, with surely
good results.
The tied and dyed scarf is another
homemade possibility. To make this,
perhaps the best material is a tan
colored fabric, either crepe de chine or
pongee. The idea is TO dye the ends
of the scarf another color. The de-
lion scarf-tan. We'll say.

scarf about with cotton cloths, and

GREAT IMPROVEMENT
IN RAILS IN USE Is
REPORTED BY EXPERTS

Chicago Nov. 1S.-A great i'm
provement in rails now in use in
the United states is reported by
the American Railway Engineering
association. Some years ago the
number of rails that failed to give
normal service or broke under
moving train became alarmingly
large. the worst condition being
reached about 1905. This led to
investigation by the American
Railway association and later by
the railway engineering associa-
ton.
"a drop in the rail failures from
almost 400 per 100 track miles for
five years service in 1908 rails to
seventy-fOur in the 1914 rails is a
decrease of 80 per cent" writes NJ ..
H. Wickhorst, engineer of tests of
the engineering associations rail
committee in his report lust issued
here. I'VE may we'll feel elated
over this good performance and
congratulate the mills and rail-
roads that brought about the re-
suit.
"a close study of the detail re-
ports indicates that a further de-
crease of over so per cent of the
failures of the 1914 rails is posi-

NO MORE PAVING
To De LET THIS
YEAR ---CLADD|NC
"BIaCk Base" Type Could
Be Laid in Winter But
Curb and Guttering Prob
ably Could Not.

There is little probability that
any additional paving contracts will
hC let this winter. in the opinion of
city Manager James n. Gladding.
In commenting on the possible pc
tition of residents of West Gold
avenue to have the street paved
streets, Mr. Gladding said that
while it is true the black base"
type Of paving can be laid in the
winter, the idea is probably i'm
practicable because the concrete
curb and guttering must be laid
first and that this work probably
can not be done because of the
severity Of the winter weather
which will not permit quick set
ting Of concrete.
1t will also require at least two
weeks for advertising bids, and as
no definite action can DC taken on
the matter before the next meet
ing of the commissioners Ii would
lie impossible to get started on the
work until after the first week in
December according to Mr.. Glad
ding.
The New Mexico Construction
company has laid the top covering
on West Tijeras avenue from Thir-
tcenth street to Seventh street. The
work was stopped there yesterday
afternoon by the city inspectors
because it was believed inadvisable
to lay the surface covering any fur
tier until the concrete base had
been given more time to set"
In summer it requires at least
ten days for the concrete to "set"
and the time required is much
longer in colder weather. The con-
crete base has been laid along the
full length of Tijeras avenue from
First to Thirteenth streets and the
machinery is now ready to start on
the block between Copper and Cen
trial avenues on Fifth street.
