 Eighteen men will compose the squad that will travel into Missis- sippi to fight the Maroons, and every man is determined to do his dead leVeleSt."
 It was no easy job for the coaches to pick the men for the opening game out of the almost two scores men fighting hard and earnestly for positions. Several new men showed up well who will not get to make the initial trip, but may be promoted before the season is completed.
 BaGIey at Center
 "Bo" Bagley will probably start the game at center, and the chances are that he will play the whole game at the plNOI position
 The guards who will start will probably be Big un" Hodges and Hall. Hodges, with his 240 pounds. will hold down the left guard, and Hall vii be on the right side of the center.
 At tackle. Yielding and "Hoss" Candy. will start the game, but may be substituted before the game is completed "Hoss" will start at left tackle and Yielding at right.
 Ends Undecided
 The wing men who will start the game are not definite, but Baker will perhaps start at right end and Gan dy will relieve him before the game is over. Ponceller and Ellis will work at the other end.
 Frog" Miller will start at full back and Frogs" bunting and line plunging are greatly counted on. Richardson may relieve Miller be- fore the game is over also.
 Mike Norton will be stationed at quarterback to start the game. Oates will act as sub quarter
 Jimmie Rogers will be played at right half and Jim will get to do much of the kicking. Mabry may be substituted for Rogers during tfe game.
 Greek" Griffin will start at left half and Greeks" speed is depended on. Ward may also get chance at left half during the fracas.

Junior Panthers
 Doing Very We'll
Fly HORACE RENEGARt

The Junior Partners held their first hard scrimmage Tuesday after noon. That Is the backfield was in- Volved in the work also for the first time. The Simpson gang worked con- slstently for over two hours Tuesday afternoon and several luminaries shone forth during the scrimmaging.
 Coach Slim Neese put the boys through over 30 minutes of the scrim- mage exercise The Simpson team will probably play their opening game in the latter part of next week 1T negotiations now under way are completed.
 The backfield of Simpson will per haps be one of the fastest prep set of backs in the state. The line will be husky bunch of prep youngsters and will be hard to penetrate.
 Red" Hickman will probably start the first game off in the fullback role and Red" possesses a tremen- dous driving power. His line plung- ing ability was the thing that marked Wills Academy last year in prep circles.
 Sam Hammond and "Skinney" Ed mondson will perhaps be the two first string halves and both are fas propo- sitions. Hammond has a mean drive himself and is terror at going through the line to break up plays. skinny" Edmondson appears to be good at skirting ends and will more than likely draw the other halfback assignment.
 Whittle is showing up good in the backfield and may work in the first game. Thomas bunting is looking good and he may be assigned the bunting duties.
 Godbee is being run at quarterback and will be almost certain to play in the field generals place. ''Dago" Hartsfield is also showing up well at half.
 The men showing up best on the line are Barnes at guard, Fair at tackle, Hodges and Dou. The line men are still very much in doubt be- cause of the great number of good men out for positions.

Mass, and was graduated from Yale
in 1910 He studied painting under
Washington Allston and Benjamin
West. He became one of the best Of
our early portrait painters and cred
1t to his masters. He was the first
president of the National Academy Of
Design. The University of the City
Of New York made him professor of
the history of art in 1885. 1t was
while returning from Europe in 1882
that he conceived the idea of the tele-
graph, but it was not until 1874 that
his efforts were successful and he was
able to send over the wire the mes
sage, what hath God wrought"
John William Draper (1S11-1SS2)
was born near Liverpool, England, and
came to America in 1881. He gradu-
ated in medicine in 1886 from the
University of Pennsylvania. He took
the chair of chemistry and natural his
tory in the University of New York
in 1889. In 1S41 he became professor
Of chemistry in the medical depart
ment of the university.
So, you see, in 1889, when Daguerre
made his announcement Of the first
photograph, Morse and Draper were
colleagues in New York university.
Morse was interested in photography
through his portrait painting and in
chemistry through his telegraph on
which he was working. Draper was
interested in photography through his
chemical Investigations.
What more natural, then. that Morse
should hasten to write Draper of
Daguerre's success in taking a photo
graph in a camera? Moreover. Morse
gave a full account of Daguerre's
process. He and Daguerre were
friends, the Frenchman having trav-
eled in America, exhibiting "dissolving
views
Draper studied Morse's account. He
quickly saw changes that could be
made in the process to shorten the
exposure of minutes to seconds. These.
If successful, would enable him to
make photograph of a living sub
ject.
So Draper Immediately constructed
camera made out of cigar box and
two spectacle lenses. Preliminary ex-
periments gave promise of success.
Then he asked his sister to sit for
him. She dressed up for the occasion
in the costume fashionable among New
York bellies of the day and climbed
with her brother to the roof of the
university building where the sun was
shining in full summer glare.
Draper first covered his sisters face
with thick coating of white. Then
he put her down in a chair and
clamped her head in an iron brace to
prevent her moving. Doubtless there
are galleries" even yet in remote
country districts where the clamp is
considered a necessary part of the ap-

FrOcks for the
Girl at School

It is the schoolgirl who is being ca
tered to just now in fashions, observes
an authority on what women should
wear. College girls are as interest
ed in French models as are their moth
ers and their older sisters, but their
departure for school takes place be-
fore there has been any considerable
showing of French clothes in this
country and before models have been
copied to any great extent, so that
special clothes have to be prepared to
meet their requirements.
Uniforms and plain serge frocks
play a very large part in the outfit
of the younger schoolgirl, but the
college girl enjoys more latitude in
the selection OF her outfit. While
her costumes should not be elaborate,
they may have little more impor-
lance than those of the girl at board
ing school.
1t would save q great deal OF
trouble and much REIMBURSEMENT after
the arrival at school if fond parents
would realize that simplicity Is a
matter of first consideration in out
fitting a schoolgirl.
The three-piece suit is most useful
to any young woman sojourning away
tumn there will be much to choose
from in suits, and the practical will
be embodied in all of them, owing to

of only thirty seconds. Then he closed
the camera and hurried to the dark
room to develop the plate. AS matter
Of fact, all he really hoped to get
was proof that an instantaneous ex-
posture" was feasible.
But it was an excellent likeness.
In fact it was so excellent that most
of the people to whom it was shown
were entirely skeptical and did not
hesitate to accuse the photographer
of using the pencil of the artist to sup
ply the deficiencies of the camera
However, Professor Draper obligingly
repeated the experiment many times
with unvarying success. Moreover he
wrote several articles for the maya
zines of the day, giving full details
Finally the doubters were convinced.
Not only were the doubters con-
vinced but they demanded photographs
of themselves and their wives and
their sweethearts. Soon there was
such a demand for daguerreotypes
that Draper and Morse opened pho
tograph gallery. This was certainly
the first in America and probably the
first In the world.
With Professor Morse in Europe in
1889 was Matthew B. Brady QS24
1896. He was a precocious boy Of
fifteen, an employee of A. 7. Stewart,
New York's merchant prince" When
Professor Draper produced his "instan-
taneous photograph" Brady saw his
opportunity. He quickly established a
gallery on Broadway. He was sue
cessful from the start. In 1851 he
took prize at the London worlds
fair. When the Civil war broke out
he was BRADY, the Photographer"
with worldwide fame and galleries in
New York and Washington.
When the Civil war broke out Brady
started out with horse and buggy
and a camera TO photograph it. He
was in the thick of the first battle
of Bull Run. That night he blundered
into the New York fire department
zouayes. He was on foot, but he still
had his negatives. The zouaves gave
him a sword, which he strapped on
outside of his linen buster and so
made his way to Washington. In max
ing his wonderful collection Of Civil
war pictures, he spent the fortune he
had made as photographer. In Wash

One of the most delightful ten

there is no hard and fast lines as to
where the waistline shall be. 1t all
depends on the type of dress you af-
