Page 1 6 The Southern Israelite Mrs. Modern Discards an Ancient Habit The modern woman has a full schedule every day. She has to make the min utes count. She has to conserve her energy, too, to be fresh and ready for each occasion. P k So the modern woman has led her sisters onto the street car. Early in the game she discovered that an automobile is nice enough out in the suburbs, but something of a white elephant when it gets to town. For Atlanta is a big city. And rapid transpor tation as furnished by the street car is the most con venient way into the busi ness section. So the smart Atlanta woman does her shopping by street car, because it is the sensible thing, because it saves her time, because it saves her energy. Even if you live some distance away from a street car line, you can drive your auto to a con venient place in the resi dential section, park it there and let a street car carry you the rest of the way on your shopping trip—without any bother at all about traffic or park ing when you get down town. During shopping hours there are plenty of seats— and these new cars are comfortable and pleasant to ride in. Try a “sample” ride yourself, and you’ll join the shoppers who are regular street car riders. Geo bjCj i a POWER COMPANY A CITIZEN WHEREVER WE SERVE “WHAT I SAW IN Rl 3Ia » !

Moscow, alone, was a city of I 40,000 churches before the Resolution, and today many stand as exquisite works of architecture. Today the new order is strictly anti-religious, without any particular religion being preferred or persecuted, Mrs. Levy repeated. The Jews, for instance, can keep their Tem ples, but to worship is a hardship, a- i was the problem on Passover, when obtaining Matzoth was practically an impossibility. But along with all of the insults religion is suffering is the one compensation that the Jew is in a pitiable plight not because he is a Jew, but because he is declassed. All re ligion is discouraged, for the regime looks to Carl Marx as its god and to Lenin as its Jesus. Despite the tragic aspect of the cir cumstances as a whole, Mrs. Levy's summary carried a tone of hopeful promise for the outcome of the con fusing problems confronting Russia, which her keen discernment was able to detect. She feels that idealists are at the head of the political and eco nomic change and that their theories will work out into practical improve ment if they are not interfered with. The final thought that Mrs. Levy left her audience was that in her judgment the greatest experiment in modern times is taking place today in Russia, politically and economically.
