SPLIT SKIRT FAD

Judge W, C. Horton,
Atlanta Pioneer, Dies
New Tabernacle Pastor Finds
Good in Modern Woman De
spite Daring Dress Craze.
Despite her slit skirts and her
transparent growns, despite her efforts
to do those things which are new and
daring, at times the woman of to
day is just as good as her predeces
sor, who wore her skirts a little
wider and a little thicker, declared
Dr. Lincoln McConnell, the new pas
tor of the Baptist Tabernacle, in
speaking of "The Trend of the
Times" Sunday night.
Step by step Dr. McConnell an
alyzed this "trend of the times" as
It is exemplified in the habits and
behavior of modern woman. First
came the mild, almost unapparent ef
forts of the feminine sex to getawav
from the old habits, the old faith,
then the stronger and more deter
mined efforts, and finally, as we see
to-day, the throwing off of nearly all
restraint—the striving for a liberty,
which Dr. McConnell declared is not
liberty.
Like Reconstructed Negro.
"The woman of to-day," said Dr.
McConnell, "reminds me of the story
of the negro in reconstruction days,
who, in the presence of his former
master, deliberately took hts seat in
the best parlor chair, put his feet on
the piano and proceeded to spit to
bacco in all directions. When the
negro had stood the gaze of his old
master as long as he could, he sud
denly got up with the remark:
" Tse got liberty now; I'll spit
where I want to.’
“Despite her vain striving for this
liberty, which is not liberty, how
ever. modern woman is Just as good
as she ever was—her efforts are sim
ply a part of ‘the trend of the
times.' ”
"The trend of the times," Dr. Mc
Connell declared, could he detected
everywhere, in everything—tn reli
gion, in art, in politics. It is nothing
more than a brc iking down of the ok'
laws, the old fath, : en morals.
“Trend Should Arouse Fear.”
As such It is to be regarded with
fear. People should stoo. look and
listen in their mad rush for pleas
ure, for that something which, when
it is obtained, does not give satis
faction, and, above all, have regard
for law.
In connection with his address,
which was heard by an audience
which filled the great auditorium of
the Tabernacle, Dr McConnell an
nounced the installation service

ernoon. Dr. Len G. Brougl.ton, of
London, former nastor of the Taber

'The Trend of the Times” in the
evening. The new pastor preached

These women are of the lowest

Expects to See Roads
Of Cement in Ten Years.
BOSTON, Sept. 8.—Thomas A. Ed

will be cheaper in a few years be

tropical countries and the invest

Cement roads, the wizard believes,
will be used extensively in ten years.
Asked what could be expected in

“Something to save paper. If non-

Miss Law made a flight of ten min

feet.
She Loves to Volplane.
Miss Law simply loves flying, she
says, but there is just one thing in
the world more pleasant than skim

“Going straight up in the air is
good sport,” he said, "but the most
delightful feature of the flying is vol
planing.

shut off the motor and let the ma

“When you do this from an altitude
of 4.000 feet it makes a dandy long
oast that can’t be duplicated for ex-

the earth, or above it.”
Asked John D, to Fly.
Miss Law is also noted as the fly
ing woman who asked John D. Rocke
feller to go aloft with her. It hap
pened at Sea Breeze, Fla.
The oil magnate, however, only
smiled.
Til wait till my wings grow,” he
said.
Rockefeller’s physician, Dr. H. F
Blggar, however, accepted the Invita

feller watched them with apparent
anxiety. When they finally came to
earth he gave a sigh of relief.

“Gee, ain’t it a peach! Couldn’t I speed some if I had one of
them! How many are you going to give away, Mister?” These
are some of the remarks to be heard around The Georgian Office
where the big red “Georgian Flyer” is on exhibition—the one
.fust like The Hearst’s Sunday American and Atlanta Georgian
will give to each boy and girl who secures forty new subscrip
tions to the paper before October 1.
There are many earnest, workers and the subscriptions are
coming fast. It would only be a wild guess now to say who will
win the first fifteen cars and receive the Charter Membership
Certificates to the Atlanta Pedalmobile Racing Club. These Cer
tificates will entitle the holder to compete in any or all races and
events to be held in the near future.
large
Pedalmobile Clubs are to be found in many of the
cities, having been promoted by some of the largest and best
newspapers in the country. This sort of sport may be new in At
lanta, but in many particulars the Pedalmobile races are to the
children what the Auto races are to the grown-ups. In fact, they
are handled a good deal on the same order and are interesting
to the parents as well as the children.
These little machines are not to he confined to pleasure
alone, but can be put to good use in many different ways. In
some cities carrier boys who have won Pedalmobiles may be seen
distributing their papers in them. All these cars are well-made
and serviceable and will surely gladden the heart of any boy or
girl who is fortunate enough to win one.
These cars are now on exhibition in the window of O. C.
Polk Dry Goods Store, 29 South Gordon Street; South Pryor Ice
Cream Parlor, 353 South Pryor Street, and Imperial Tire and
Tube Company, 349 Peachtree Street. While attending the Odd-
and-Ends Sale at Polk’s Dry Goods Company, be sure to notice
the “Georgian Flyer” in the window.
OUTSIDE WORKERS.
A number of boys and girls outside of the city of Atlanta
have sent in their application blanks and are now working earn
estly to obtain one of the handsome little cars. The Pedalmobile
man will be glad to send subscription blanks to more honest hust
lers who would like to own a Pedalmobile.
Just fill out the application blank below and full particu
lars will be mailed you at once.
