WORLD SHEDS TEAR
FOR "HARD KELLY
FASHIONS ONCE POPULAR
DERBY LID SUCCUMBS TO
CHANGING TIMES.

The old order passeth giving way
~ the new" One by one, sooner or
later the most cherished conceits of
,,,,,anitv have been surrendered i'll the
interests of science and sanity. But
there is one conceit of conceits, one
h.1rowed institution, that has held out
ionper than the majority, and, in fact,
his been deemed immortal by many
81 It's most insistent championships
;nstitution of the derby hat. Now, how
ever the cloud of its impending doom
i looming large on the horizon of the
world of fashion, and it will not be
long before the last of its line will be
consigned to the attic shelf, and the
Hard Kelly" will be no more.
Was Acme of Style.
Time was when the derby hat was
considered the acme OF style, the
crowning achievement of the haber-
dasher, the strong point in the Sun
dav outfit of the village Beau Brum-
mel. Now, according to Milwaukee
haberdashers, calls for derbys are al
most unheard of, and the soft hat and
can have almost completely supplanted
il in favor.
Indictments against the derby have
been summed up as follows:
1T was sat on often; it denied east
w. it had no personality, as one look
ed so much like another that mistakes
we're frequent; it was unbecoming to
most men, especially in the recent
melon or hot cake shapes gotten out;
. 1,y 4o1ra nplyy or
two colors at most, and it permitted
little ventilation and no variation"
Enemies Place Blame.
Enemies of the automobile, at whose
door so many modern evils have been
laid. are wont to lay the crime OF the
knockout of the derby hat to the
horseIess carriage along with such
monstrosities as the speed cop" the
iovrider, deadly in his hilarious and
yacuous disregard of loot and vehicle
traffic the automobile bandit and the
bootlegger. 1t has been declared that
1t was the automobile that put Mr..
Derby down for the count, by hard,
short labs to the crown. He was for

or falling under the machine alter
sharp blow, oftentimes to be counted
out and sent to the ash barrel OF
course the great majority OF Americans
we're not hampered in the wearing OF
derbies by the hard knocks or Their
tops against the stiff hat; they merely
followed the fashion set by automo-
bile owners, who probably buy fewer
hats than their less favored brethren.
Nevertheless, mourners and loyal
of the derby still maintain
that in its hey day, the Katy was.
a pretty good hat and lasted a long
time, without the formality OF having
il blocked every so often.

USE OF PINE IS URGED FOR
CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS
Wanton Waste of the Beautiful Holly
Makes That Tree Scarce.

An appeal has been sent broadcast
that pine and other greens be used
for Christmas decorations this year m
stead of holly. There has been such
wanton waste of these beautiful trees
in the past it is feared that they will
ultimately be entirely destroyed. his n,
would indeed be calamity, especially
in the south, where the holly is one
OF the prettiest OF our native trees. 1t
is believed, however, that in Terrell
county there is enough holly growing
Tor every family to have a reasonable
supply, but it is hoped by those inter
ested that no trees will be cut down.
They may be robbed of a few branch
es without permanent injury

This is Ralph Ince picture of the most excellent production, and difficult--in fact, almost impossible photography. The scenes taken under the water are really wonderful pieces of photography, showing the sunken vessel that held the treasure being sought and the uncanny acting of the characters of the drama as they search for the wet gold.'
 Some of the most beautiful scenes in Wet Gold" are taken at the race track in Havana, Cuba. Here one of the characters, an old southerner who has staked his all on favorite horse that loses. decides to join g shipwrecked castaway in the hun | for the stolen treasure that the cast away tells about.

jllIEDIChTED SMOKE DRIVES OUT CATARRH
Or. Blosser's Cigarettes Give Out a Healing and Sooth- ing Smoke-Vapor that Clears the Head, Nose and Throat.

pr. Blosser is the originator of a certain combination of medicinal herbs, flowers and berries to be smoked in pipe or ready prepared cigarette which is meeting with un- usual success in catarrhal troubles. As the disease is carried into the head, nose and throat with the air you breathe, so the antiseptic heal ing vapor of this remedy is carried with the breath directly to the af- fected parts.
 This simple, practical method ap- plies the medicine where sprays. douches ointments, etc, cannot pos sibly go. Its effect is soothing and healing and is entirely harmless, con- taining no cubebs. tobacco or habit forming drugs. It is pleasant to use, and not sickening to those who have never smoked and may be used by women and children as well as men.
 If you suffer from catarrh, asthma, catarrhal deafness, or if subject to frequent colds, you should try this remedy Satisfactory results guar anteed. Any we'll stocked drug store can supply Dr. Blosser's Rem edy.
 A trial package will be mailed to any sufferer for ten cents (coin or stamps) by~The Blosser Co.,. 2S DL. Atlanta, Ga, to prove it's beneficial and pleasant effect.

What Woodrow Wilson Is Doing on Second Anniversary
tContinued From Page oncD

ordeal which few men survive The measure of his progress toward health must be measured with those facts in mind HiFnorma1 weight in health while he was President, was 1S0 pounds, He shows little departure from that figure now. His eyesight is as good. although he has discarded his favorite nose glasses for spec tacles. His hair has turned snow white, but it has not thinped. His appetite is-4oo robust to please his physicians Last March when he left the White House with President-e Harding, an attendant had to place his feet on each succeeding step from the portico. The other day he sent his attendant away and climbed alone. not without some effort. into his automobile, just to see if he could do 1t, and seemed pleased to find that he could.
 Motor nerves and muscles of his left side have given more response to treatment than was hoped for Ot course they are not fully active now. He still walks with a cane most of the time but frequently hangs the crook over his arm and goes il alone without my third leg" as he puts 1t.
 Far From Well Man
 Mr. Wilson is far from we'll man today; he was far from a well man when he entered the White House over eight years ago. But during the last two years there have been times when his voice was inaudible and when he could not support himself alone. His condition today shows more improvement than his family and friends dared hope for.
 There are many angles to MT Will sons present day psychotogy. Living in Washington and easy of access to party friends at the capitol, he might give~ consultation on party policies. but he does not. Whatever q visitor may say in criticism of the republi- can administration, MT Wilson never makes reply. He never permits any one in his presence to speak what he regards as "disrespect for the Presi- dent of the United States"
 Somebody once raised the question How do our ex-Presidents live?' Colonel Roosevelt had comfortable fortune of his own augmented by in- come from writings. MT Taft, until he became chief justice, had from time to time profitable sources of in come.
 Mr. Wilson brought with him to the White House the small savings of a life tme which he. preserved Dur ing his terms in the< presideacy his royalties from books previously writ ten mounted into rather handsome sun,s. Singularly enough, they have shown marked slump since he left the White House. While he was Pres ident circumstances helped him save money.
 The war and the suspension of so- cial functions and entertainment were quite an item. IL has been esti- mated that the former Presidents pocketbook was at least $25,00O richer because he was not called upon to wine and dine numerous dgnltar- ies and official persons.
 Upon his modest fortune now he lives simply, with an establishment of only three servants and used car"

THE FOUR H0RSEMEN' WONDER SPECTACLE AT JEFFERSON THEATRE

The screen versions of Vicente Belasco Ibanez's famous novel, The Four Horsemen of the ApoSalypse, which was shown for the first time at the Jefferson theatre last night is an impressive visualization of what is conceded to be the most powerful of all the novels based on the world war.
 The first part of the picture is not 1.articularly strong in dramatic Tn terest. but that is because IL ls merely prologue, as in the bcok' to the tragedy which convulsed tu- rope and was felt to the ends of the earth when the German legions were sent through Belgium into France.
 The picture which was exhibited last night, and will remain at the Jefferson all this week, portrays Tn graphic scenes the story of conflict ing races which starts in Argentina where Madariaga known as the "Centaur," has grown rich and pow erful as a cattle raiser. He mas tWo sons-in-law, one German and the other French. When the old man dies and his fortune is divided, the Des- movers go to France and the liar t-otts to Germany, to absorb kul- tur" and practice the goose step. When the World war begins they are drawn into the maelstron'. Around the love affair and death Tn battle of Julio Desnoyer's French eyandson of the "Centaur," Ibanez wove a dramatic story of tie con fiict which sent the -four horse men sweeping over Europe, leav- ing death and destruction in their wake. ,.,,
 The novel has been given a V'Vlu rresentation on the screen and the horror of war. as well as the heaVy hand of tragedy it lays on thou sands who play part Tn IL. is brought out with a degree or realism that is only possible in the motion picture which can command armies for it's purposes and present to the eve what the printed word in mover conveys to the mind Of the many so-called super photoplays hs x, Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse takes high rank, both on account oi the skill of the actors who play lne principal characters and the clap prata xrav in which the drama or war is unfolded as background for the tragedies of the men anu ,rnroan who are involved in 1t anu become it's victims .,,ao
