PLUMP WOMEN.
Portly women, attention.
You are advised by an expert
in fashions and avoirdupois, by
way of the New York newspapers,
(whose editors know everything),
that woman is preparing to say
good bye to angles, because she
has become convinced that man
prefers curves,
And while women pretend to
^fejidress according to their own taste,
and to build up such form as
seems most pleasing to them, it
is the unwritten history of the sex
that they dress to please the men.
.
And so far as their personal ap
pearance goes, when they are
need that the men like la
,, with the rotund figure, the
figures of the ladies will be ro
fjKpft..-'5! tund. '
And so we are told that the
beauty of 1925 will present a sil
houette of plumpness instead of
one of skinniness.
The emaciated form of 1924 is
to give away to one which will
permit of eating pastry, the en
joyment of bon bons, the digestion
■ oftfats and starches and a form
that will comfortably fill an easy
chair.
All of this is being brought
about according to Antoinette
Donnelly, in the Baltimore Sun,
because men do not like angular
■ women. Says this feminine expert
in an outburst of confidence to
the whole world:
<< Down in the bottom recesses of
his primitive old heart there is a
rumbling, grumbling going on. He
wants his woman more than a
hank, a bone and a wisp of a bob.
He wants to know he has his arm
around a waist, not an imaginary
line, when he does the tango with
her.
u He asks for the warm pressure
of a softly padded hand when he
whispers sweet nothings in her
ears. He wants her—well, he
wants her so that he knows he has
somethinftwhen he gets her.
Putting it in the form of
weights and measures, he thinks
that a girl of five feet six should
weigh nearer 125 pounds, than
merely tipping the scale at 100
stone.
But it is not proposed to start
a revolution.
Slim girls will not be expected
to get fat all at once. —
They can go on a diet, say based
on the candy idea, that a “choc
olate a day will make me more
weigh," and as this added weight
is assumed, it is believed the mas
culine admirer will find much more
to admire.
CHILD FIRE PREVENTION
If all the people of our coun
,try were to learn by heart the
rules regarding fire prevention
which Commissioner Drennan, of
New York City, has suggested for
memorization by the school chil
“ dren of that city, so that what
rules require becomes in
stinctive, we would see a material
decrease in our $500,000,000 an
nual fire loss.
rhich the fire com-
t Mk fOI
ft".
He suggests that matches be
kept always in metal containers.
He warns against throwing rem
nants of lighted matches, cigars
and cigarettes away without see
ing where they fall.
He tells one not to try to start
fires with kerosene; nor to go into
dark closets, bedrooms or cellars
with lighted candles or matches
and not to use lighted candles on
Christmas trees.
He further caution! against
keeping gasoline, naphtha or ben
zine in the house, and ends the
list of 21 rules with the com
mandment:
“Do not look for gas leaks with
a lighted rtfktch or candle. »»
PI
Lord Halsbury, the famous law
yer, who afterward became Lord
High Chancellor of England, gain
ed a great reputation at the bar
as a topnoteh cross-examiner.
«< Do you drink?” be inquired,
blandly, of an overdressed, horsey
looking individual who was the
chief prop of the defense at an
Old Bailey trial.
a That's mjl bhsiness! was the
retort.
<* Any other?” asked Lord Hals
bury with well-affected politeness.
A certain canny Scotsman had
carried on a courtship of long
duration without definitely com
mitting himself. The girl, if she
worried herself at the long proba
tion, gave no sign until one morn
ing her tardy lover, thumbing a
small note-book, said:
“Maggie, I hae bg^h weighing
up your guid points, and I hae
already gotten ten. When I get
a dozen I'm goin’ tae ask ye ttye
fatal question. ii
Well, I wish ye luck, Jock, an
swered the maiden, I hae also
gotten a wee book, and J hae been
puttin’ doon your bad points.
There are nineteen in it already,
and when it reaches the score I’m
gain accept the blacksmith. *>
A party of ministers was attend
ing a Presbyterian conference in
Scotland. Having a spare after
noon, several of them set off to
explore the district. Presently
they came to a river spanned by a
temporary bridge. Not observing
a notice that the structure was un
safe, they started to cross it.
Thereupon the bridgekeeper ran
after them in' protest.
<< It’s all right," decelared the
spokesman “we’re Presbyterians.”
“I'm no caring aboot that,” was
the reply, “but if ye dinna get off
the bridge ye’ll all be Baptists.”
THE FORGET-ME-NOT SPEAKS
“Little pale blossom of tint sky
blue,
Why are you worn today?
Why is everyone buying you?
What do you stand for, pray?
“I stand for a cross in Flanders
field,
And the Marne, and the Wood
of Belleau,
For the khaki line that would not
yield— ---------~—
For the prayers from lips that
death has sealed—
I stand for wounds that have not
healed,
And hospital beds in a row.
I stand for horrors and wounds
and scars, ,
For bodies shattered and torn;
For battlefields reeking beneath
the stars
With sacrifice to the War-God
Mars;
For an end to the reign of kings
and Czars;
And for the mothers and wives
that mourn.
u For the memory of warriors
racked with pain;
Mangled while facing the foe;
Belgian soil bears a crimson stain
Where they offered their all,
unthinking of gain.
(They know now their sacrifice
was not in vain)
In their hospital beds in a row.

“LONG PERIOD OP PROSPER
ITY AHEAD,” SAYS
BANKER.
The United States can become
and will probably avail herself of
the opportunity to become the
principal creditor nation of the
world, declared Charles E. Mit
chell, president of the National
City Bank, upon his recent returfi
from an extensive European trip,
during which he was one of she
active members of the group of
financiers who formulated plans
for the successful floating of the
German loan.
“The Dawes plan is regarded as
a practical expedient in a most
difficult situation. To put that
plan in operation the loan is es
sential. And so it has been ar
ranged, having in practice priority
in lien over every other obligation
of that nation of 60,000,000 peo
pie.
Own Position Favorable.
u I come home again impressed
with the comparative ease of our
own situation and with the marvel
ously favorable .position of our
country in natural advantages, in
LEO KAMENEFF.
The first Soviet ambassador to
France—following recent official
recognition of the Red Russian
government by the French repub
lic, is expected to be Leo Kam
eneff.
Kameneff, brother-in-law of
Trotsky, and one of Nicolai Len
in’s chief aides until the Red lead
er’s death, is only 46 years old,
but is considered one of the
men of the Soviet regime. —
He was born in Tiflis and at an
early age was identified with
revolutionary movements.
Exiled.
At one time, under the
regime, he was exiled to
for his pleadings to Russians
resist efforts to draw that
into the World War.
§e has served in various
pacities for the Soviet
and when Lenin was stricken
one of the triumvirate which
sumed control.
His wife has been likened
some writers to Catherine II
Russia.
She lived in Paris before
marriage to Kameneff.
Twice-Told 7 Tales
Judge Eve says he got a good
laugh out of an advertisement
the papers last week urging
ple to eat Georgia apples. A
ture in the advertisement showed
some Georgia “peaches”
apples—-supposed to be Georgia
apples—but they were taking
them out of boxes bearing an
Oregon label.—Tifton Gazette.
Now the question is how will the
inimitable Charles G. Dawes set
tle down to the quiet life of being
merely vice-president and presid
ing over the empty seats of the
U. S. Semite?—Cordele Dispatch.
Maybe after all it was worth
while losing the election just to
see what will happen when Col.
Dawes and Cole Blease hang up
in the Senate some fine morning.—
Macon Telegraph.
After a look at the returns in
the presidential election we leap
to the melancholy conclusion that
there is more of the other fellow
than there is of us.—Macon Tele
graph.
The auto speeders have kept it
up until they now have acquired
the title of “maniacs of the road. N
—Atlanta Constitution.
This season," says a home-town
authority, “there’s corn enough
fgr food and drink.”—Atlanta Con
stitution.
The manufacture of tacks was a
household industry in New Eng
land till well into the nineteenth
century.

trade and commerce, and in the
character of our people.
‘'Unless we are politically un
wise, conditions here would seem
to be ripe for a period of pros
perity which the trends in Europe
as I saw them, cannot immediately
harm. It may be safely assumed,
however, that Europe is distinctly
on the road to an industrial renais
sance, and that if we would main
tain our position we must be in
sistent upon legislative and busi
ness co-operation, manufacturing
efficiency, elimination of wasteful
processes and government extrava
gances and must guard against
the dangerous inflation which our
a
gold position constantly invites. >}

COTTON RECEIPTS IN
SAVANNAH SHOW 91
PER CENT INCREASE
Savannah, Nov. 8.—There was
an increase of 91 per cent in the
gross receipts of cotton at Savan
nah during the 1923-1924 season
over the 1922-1923 season, accord
ing to report of W. H. Teasdale,
superintendent of the Savannah
Cotton Exchange, made at the an
nual meeting yesterday.
POLITENESS WASTED
Some people are very literal. A
broad-shouldered individual, obvi
ously a country squire, entered a
well known hatter’s in Piccadilly.
An immaculate assistant ap
proached him and said, suavely:
“And what is your pleasure, sir?”
The country squire pondered a
moment and then made reply:
** Fox hunting chiefly. But what
I want now is a hat.”
PUZZLED
“I haven’t much faith in these
new-fangled doctors,” said Jim
Bliwers, the blacksmith.
Why not?” asked the neighbor
whose horse was being shod.
“Well, today,” said Jim, “me
doctor told me to take pills for
me heart, tablets fer me stomach,
capsales fer me kidneys and pel
lets fer me liver—an’ what puzzles
me is, how do these blamed things
know where to go when they git
inside.”
TOO MUCH FOR HER
At a concert a young lady be
gan a song, The autumn days
have come. Ten thousand leaves
are falling.”
But she began too high. “Ten
thousand,’ she screeched, and
stopped.
t * Start her at five thousand, yy
an auctioneer present.
