SCHOOL CIRLS RUiN HEALTH
TO GET THIN
“This ‘straight Fee’ fad for g.r!s
and women is gnin{ to be the tuina
tioc of the nation' Hundreds of gir's
in the junior and t< .ror high rchoo's
are starving themselves into sickness
to get thin, when they hould be try
ing to make themselves strong and
healthy,” declared Willis A. Sutton,
superintendent of Atlanta schools, in
lan address Friday afternoon.
Mr. gution was peaking at the
■ first luncheon for the fall season of
the service committee of the Atlan
ta Chamber of Commerce, presided
ovVr by Honder'on Hallman, chair
man of the com " toe and a director
of the ehaml)-.-. His topic was
“Health, Mind and Character,” and
he stressed the tremendous import
ance of physical well-being, the de
vejopment of the ability to think, and
a good character above that of "read
ing, wYiting and arithmetic.”
Mr. Sutton’s talk was largely a
plea for greater development of men
tal processes among young people in
stead of slavish adherence to text
books and the facts they teach.
“The old idea that children should
be seen and not heard has been ex
ploded,” he said. “The belief now is
that they should be encouraged to ex
press themselves while they arc young
lo they will develop their own minds.”

GAVE FORMER GOVERNOR
SLATON BEST THRILL
WHILE IN PARIS
New York.—Ex-Governor John M.
Slaton, of Atlanta, Ga., spent two
months motoring up and down west
ern Europe. He saw many sights and
heard many pleasant things, sa,t un
der distinguished orators in legislative
halls, studied life at Biarritz and
Deauville and went to a bull fight at
San Sebastian. Yet, the happening
he enjoyed most in his whole trip,
he said, at the Waldorf-Astoria, be
fore he and Mrs. Slaton left for At
lanta, had been hi£ encounter with a
Georgia negro in the Rue Ober,
Paris.
“I was looking for No. 9 Rue Ober
to see about some freight that had
been forwarded by air,” said Mr. Sla
ton, and I accosted a man there who
looked as if he might have spent some
time in the sun, or, I took it, he may
have been an Algerian. I had launch
ed bravely into my stock of French,
but evidently he did not follow me.
“ ‘Boss,’ he said, ‘please suh don’t
talk to me in dat’er French. You is
an American. I’se just a plain Savan
nah, Georgia, nigger.’ , When he
heard that I was from Georgia I
thought he would go into raptures.
He said whenever an American came
along he just had to ask him t<* talk
like folks at home.”
Former Governor and Mrs. Slaton
attended the Fourth of July celebra
tion at the American embassy in
London and the king’s garden party
at Buckingham palace on July 22.
“In London I was present at the
house of commons when the budget
|came up for discussion and I heard
Ronald McNiel, first lotd oif the
treasury, tell parliament that Eng-,
[land’s great debt could not be paid
in full for 150 years, dnd the British
taxpayer had better accustom himself
to that idea, said Governor Slaton.
■ ’The budget w-as passed overwhelm
ingly. In Paris I went to thp cham
ber of deputies in time to hear a
■ebate on -the French budget and
there long enough to hear n so
cialist speak and a premier reply,

Bune in the chamber while the pre

WOMAN SHINES BRIGHTER AT 45
Comfort for women who fail to
marry early iscontainedin a statement
made in New York by Mrs. Theodore
Parsons, writer and lecturer, who is
one of *3OO women scheduled to take
*part in the Exposition of Women’s
Arts and Industries, opening at the
Hotel Astor Sept. 27.
Mrs. Parsons says womenfcneed not
become less attractive as they grow'
oludf and their chances of marrying
need not diminish. She asserts:
“Women who take care of them
selves intelligently grow more charm
ing, both and personally,
each year. They reach the height of
their attractiveness at middle-age.
Compared with th<TTn, the woman of
25 and 30 seems raw and crude. A
woman can be just as physically at
tractive at 45 as she is at 25.” .
NORTH GEORGIA MOUNTAINS
I love the grand old way you stand,
Above your dreamy Valley land,
I love the way you entertain
All around together in a chain
I love to visit you alone
And bury deep your wonder shown,
I love the dresses that you wear !
In each season of the year,
I love to watch the water creep
Down upon your rocky steep,
I love the vail so soft and blue )
That was made for only you, A
I love your soothing fragrant air
That mingles in your lovely hair,
I love lessors that you give
Of .God’s great power to usthatlive
No words on earth can explain
What your, great silence makes so
• plain,
So lock me in your mighty, chain,
And when I’m dead let me remain,
Until God dries your flowing foun
tains,
And lifts me higher than Georgia’s
Mountains. ,
