SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM
UNPRESENTABLE AT COURT
A Los Angeles judge has bravely
and somewhat rashly ventured into
an extra-legal problem that for
centuries has puzzled and defeated
the moralists of all countries.
He refused to allow a young wo
man to testify in his court as long
as she was dressed in slacks, con
tending that the costume was not
dignified, and that it tended to low
£r the ceremonial decorum of a
court of law.
The young woman retorted that
slacks properly covered her person,
that she had a constitutional right
to wear them, and that the judge
was mistaking convention for digni
ty.

NONE TO COMPARE WITH
“RED BLOOM”
Winder, Ga., Nov. 10, 1938.
G. W. Woodruff,
Winder, Ga.
Dear Sir:
I used some of your 7-3-3 Red
Bloom Fertilizer, 300 pounds to the
acre. I have never used any ferti
lizer, even of higher grade, that
will compare with your Red Bloom.
It was in good mechanical condition,
and worked through the distributor
as good as any fertilizer I ever saw.
Yours truly,
J. R. JOHNSON.
PWA BUILDING 148 GEORGIA
SCHOOLS
New school buildings constitute
the majority of Public Works Ad
ministration projects in Georgia, ac
cording to H. T. Cole, regional PWA
director, who reported Monday that
148 structures of this character
had been approved under the pres
ent program.
Since the PWA was inaugurated,
270 school buildings have been
built or approved by PWA.
Waterworks and sewerage systems
stand second on the list, with fifty
seven such projects approved this
year and sixty under previous pro
grams. Thus far the PWA has aid
ed in construction of forty-one
courthouses, city halls and state
buildings.
WOMEN LAWYERS
Women must compete with men
on terms of equality, Miss Laura M.
Berrien, of Washington, D. C., presi
dent of the National Association of
Women Lawyers, declared last week
at the tenth anniversary banquet of
the Georgia Association of Women
Lawyers.
Miss Berrien said “women ought
to seek and attain greater opportuni
ties for themselves in the legal pro
fession,” and added, “we can do it
if we band together.”
A resolution urging abolition of
the poll tax as a prerequisite for
the right to vote, was adopted. An
other resolution favored the estab
lishment of a domestic relations
court in some counties to relieve
trial judges of hearing so many do
mestic relations cases.
The women lawyers also adopted
a resolution asking that some insti
tution or hospital or other institution
besides jail be provided for persons
pending their removal to the state
hospital at Milledgeville.
THE JACKSON HERALD. JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
Songs That Reach Heart
Must Picture the Scene
The better a song enables those
hearing it to vizualize a scene, the
better the song, obviously. Such
songs never die. There are songs
that have helped untold thousands
to visualize a scene or emotion,
writes Rev. G. White in the Detroit
News.
“When Irish Eyes Are Smiling’’
was written by an American, Ernest
Ball, some 25 years ago, and is re
garded by most Americans as
breathing of the very spirit of old
Erin. “Love’s Old Sweet Song” was
written in mid-Victorian days by
James L. Molloy, an Englishman.
Popular songs of the “Down by
the Old Mill Stream” type may be
come folk songs, for the melodies
are simple and sweet and the char
acters the ever-popular “boy-and
girl” combination. It was written
by Tell Taylor in 1910. Another of
this type is “Wait Till the Cows
Come Home,” written by Anne Cald
well in 1917.
“Cornin’ Through the Rye” was
written by a forgotten composer in
the Seventeenth century. Robert
Burns set down the words we all
know. The song refers to the Rye
river, rather than a field of rye.
Young gallants waited by the
stream, which had no bridge, and of
fered to carry the neighborhood las
sies across. In mid-stream they
would demand a kiss for a fee,
threatening to drop the passenger in
the water unless it were paid.
The “Spring Song” is perhaps the
best known of the great Mendels
sohn’s shorter numbers. Several lyr
ics have been written to the music.
“Listen to the Mocking Bird” was
written shortly before the Civil war.
“Put on Your Old Gray Bonnet”
dates to the early Twentieth cen
tury.
Chop Suey Was Known to
Chinese Long, Long Ago
Various authorities have stated
that chop suey is not a native Chi
nese dish, but is known in China
chiefly among tourists and foreign
ers, though of course most of the
ingredients were well known to the
Chinese in China before this became
a popular American dish. The usu
al story, notes a writer in the
Detroit News, is that it was hastily
invented by a chef in Chinatown,
New York city, in 1896, during the
visit of Li Hung Chang, the chef
calling it a chop suey or mixture
of his own creation.
It appears, however, to be much
older than this and to be connected
with the influx of Chinese labor in
the early days of California gold
mining and western railroad con
struction. A recent history of the
Canadian Pacific Railway, “Steel of
Empire,” by J. M. Gibbon, says:
“Gold in California brought an
other .link with Cathay in the form
of a tide of Chinamen who paid
fifty dollars a head to cross the
Pacific to do odd jobs, ply their
trades and wash gold as well as
linen. Some of them ran restau
rants, with Chinese food for their
compatriots, and one of these inci
dentally introduced what has since
become a national American dish,
namely Chop Suey. This is said to
have been served sarcastically by a
Chinese restaurant man to a gold
digger in the bowl which is kept
with scraps of food for beggars. It
w’as a novelty and caught the fancy
of the miners who spread the gospel
of this new dish throughout the
United States.”
Baths Precede Prayers
A special and intricate code of
cleanliness must be performed be
fore each of the five periods of daily
prayer by the Mahometans unless
no opportunity for pollution between
thesp prayer periods has occurred,
says the Rocky Mountain Herald.
Washing for prayer is a ceremony
that must be observed according to
the details of the law regarding it.
Essentially it consists of washing
face, nostrils, head, beard, neck,
hands ahd arms up to elbows and
feet up to the ankles. Olnly when
he has accomplished each of these
acts three times is he ready for his
religious devotions. This is a total
of 15 ritual cleansings every day for
the devout Mahometans.
Trap-Door Spider Engineer
The trap-door spider, found in
southern Europe, Africa, and other
hot regions, is a wonderful engineer.
He digs a bottle-shaped shaft in
the earth and lines it with silk web.
Then he makes a trap-door and
hinges it to the top with a silken
hinge. The door is made of silk
covered with soil and fits to a nicety.
The spider is also a gardener, for
on the top of the door he plants
moss so that the door cannot be
detected in its surroundings. Also,
it is so strong that if man or beast
treads on the door it remains un
damaged.

Atlanta Business Man Great
Humanitarian
(By Ralph Smith, in Atlanta
Journal)
Appropriate to the seasonal spirit
of Thanksgiving, Arthur Lucas, busi
ness and civic leader, speaks out in
appreciation of his nativity. He is a
Georgian and proud of it. His pride
rests on the pre-eminence of Geor
gia in those things that make peo
ple great—education, humanitarian
ism and religion. The leadership of
the state in these things is securely
written in the records and traditions
of Georgia.
“Did you know,” asked Lucas, as
we,sat in his office at the Fox Thea
tre, “that the state of Georgia has
many ‘firsts’ to her credit—‘firsts’ in
things that count? Although the
youngest of the thirteen original
colonies, Georgia has to her credit
and glory leadership in countless
achievements that will live through
the ages—more, I think, than any
other state in the Union.
Many Famous Firsts
“I am reminded of these glories
by the approach of Thanksgiving
Day, which, by the way, was first
celebrated in Georgia. It was in
August, in 1775, that General James
Oglethorpe proclaimed the first
Thanksgiving Day in history.
“The University of Georgia grows
in greatness and usefulness in the
knowledge of its patrons as the first
state university in America—the out
growth of Franklin College.
“The first Sunday school in the
world was established at Savannah,
in 1775, by the immortal John Wes
ley.
“It was in Georgia that the first
negro preacher was ordained—one
John Leile, and the date, as I re
call, was 1774.
“In Augusta we find and proudly
salute the first free high school on
the North American Continent,
known today and operated under the
name orginally given it—Richmond
Academy.
“And where is the Georgian who
doesn’t swell with pride in the realiz
ation that Wesleyan Female College,
at Macon, was the first college for
women in the world? It dates back
to 1736, and its first graduate was a
Georgia girl—Catherine Brewer.
Bethesda Orphanage
“It is recalled also, and we are
often and well reminded, that it
was in Georgia—over at Jefferson,
in Jackson County—that Dr. Craw
ford W. Long, a Georgian, discover
ed the use of ether as an esthetic.
“Lastly, I mention and dwell up
on a ‘first’ that belongs near the top
of the list —the organization and
establishment of the Bethesda Home
for Boys at Savannah—the oldest
orphanage on the American Contin
ent, functioning today as it function
ed in Colonial times under the guid
ance of George Whitfield, in co
operation with General Oglethorpe
and John Wesley.”
In recent years, begining, I’d say,
with Dick Russell’s administration as
governor of Georgia, Arthur Lucas
has given generously of his energy
and time in charitable and eleemosy
nary work for the state. He is to
day chairman of the State Board of
Welfare. His interest in Bethesda
Orphanage ante-dates, and no doubt
explains his unselfish contributions
to the charities of the state.
A patron of Bethesda for many
years, Lucas is perhaps more familiar
with its history than any other Geor
gian.

Demonstration News
(By Elsie Bowmun)
The Homo Demonstration Council
met at the court house November
Ist to make plans for the coming
year’s program. We have quite a
big program, and urge the hearty
co-operation of every member with
the club officers and project chair
men to put over this program.
The council officers elected for
1939 are:
Mrs. J. C. Head, President.
Mrs. H. C. Baird, Vice-President.
Mrs. A. 0. Hood, Secretary-Treas
urer.
4-H Club 'Sponsor, Mrs. F. B.
Spencer.
The project chairmen selected
are:
Mrs. Ernest Howard, Health and
Nutrition.
Mrs. L. F. Sell, Gardening.
Mrs. J. T. McElhannon, Home Im
provement.
Miss Geraldine Cash, Clothing.
Mrs. Allen Wilson, Poultry.
Mrs. W. T. Nix, Dairying.
Mrs. G. 0. Shackelford, Home In
dustries.
Mrs. Ruby Isbell, Recreation.
Mrs. Cortez Highfill, County Club
Scrapbook.
Included on the program for the
next council meeting, January 3rd,
is a lecture concerning “Laws Affect
ing the Farm Home and Farmer”.
This is one phase of the 1939 pro
gram which is of vital concern to
every farm family.
January’s program in general
shall consist of money management,
keeping accounts, and business meth
ods in the home, all of which is to
be based on careful analysis and
planning. After all, when men and
women set down together and ana
lyze their maximum earning power,
balancing it against their necessary
expenditures, they have a much bet
ter concept of what they must do
to attain a satisfying living. When
women realize that every acre of
land, article of machinery, or head
of livestock purchased or sold affects
their financial and sometimes their
social status, and when the men
realize that every purchase made by
the housewife or every dollar saved
by her affects the farm, then there
will be no more talk about men’s
interest and women’s interest.
On display in the window at Ran
dolph’s is an exhibit of some of the
canning done by 4-H club girls this
year. Most of these girls did not
plan to exhibit their goods at the
time they were being prepared, but
they have cheerfully dug into their
collection of canned products and
selected one quart of fruit and one
of vegetables in order to increase
interest in quality and quantity can
ning for family needs. Your inter
est is a great inducement for them
“to make the best better.”

PIPES POPULAR AMONG CO-EDS
AT NEWCOMB COLLEGE
New Orleans.—One Newcomb Col
lege girl bought a pipe in a drug
store “just for fun” and now it’s
serious.
Jane Irwin, of Mount Pleasant,
Tenn., bought the pipe and some
tobacco, took them back to her room,
and had a tryout. Soon the pipe
passed from hand to hand.
In no time the drug store sold out
to the college girls its entire supply
of tobacco and pipes, round, square,
straight and droopy.
It was estimated Monday that
every girl on the second floor of the
Josephine Louise Home had her own
pipe. Some of the sorority rooms
were borrowing pipes for try outs.
After some nearly disastrous re
sults the girls decided not to inhale.

Dr. E. M. Coulter Speaks to
Woman’s Club
Dr. E. M. Coulter of the State
University was guest spea’ er at the
November meeting of the Jefferson
Woman’s Club held Monday after
noon ni the Log Cabin, with Mes
dames W. Jackson, W. T. Bryan,
L. 11. iiell, L. J. Lyle and A. B.
Elizer ns hostesses.
Dr. Coulter spoke on International
Relations, and gave a most informa
tive talk. Ho told of the situation
today in Chinn and other parts of
the world where there is unrest, and
of the conquest of Japan, Italy and
Germany, and how the dictators are
striving to get a stronger hold in
various parts of the world, and stat
ed that if the United States keep
their democracy we will have to be
prepared with an adequate air and
naval force.
Dr. Coulter pointed out the fact
that if England had been sufficient
ly prepared that she would not have
suffered the humiliation that she un
derwent from dictators, and that
now, when the world apparently has
gone mad, it is the time when we
Americans should be sane and
straight thinking, and be prepared
against any thrust to our demor acy,
for it is force, and not treaty, that
counts, for brow beating the peace
loving part of the world is the meth
od adopted by nations today.
He spoke of the Pan-American
Congress, which will convene at
Lima, Peru, in December, which will
be a step toward welding the new
world powers, and that this associ
ation of new world powers is one of
the surest bulwarks against pene
tration of dictatorial ideas.
Dr. Coulter is a person of high in
tellectual ability, and one of the
best informed men on International
Relations in our State. He has writ
ten a number of interesting books,
and the women of the Jefferson
Woman’s Club were indeed privileg
ed to hear such a brilliant speaker,
who is so well informed on world
happenings.
Another enjoyable feature of the
program was a piano solo beautiful
ly rendered by Miss Merle Kinning
ham. She played Liekesfiend, by
Fritz Kreisler.
Mrs. M. M. Bryan presided over
the business meeting, and received
reports relative to the work of the
club in its various departments.
Mrs. Kizer stated that a program
was given on Armistice Day at Mar
tin Institute auditorium, sponsored
by the Citzienship Committee, of
which she is chairman.
Mrs. H. D. Dadisman read a Pro
clamation of Thanksgiving, taken
from the “Club Woman,” which is
the official magazine of the federat
ed Clubs.
Mrs. M. M. Bryan spoke of the
R<yl Cross drive that is now on to
secure members, telling something of
the work done by this great humani
tarian organization.
Mrs. J. D. Escoe, club librarian,
spoke of Book Week, which is being
observed from November 13-19
throughout the nation, and told of
the important place books have in
the cultural life of our country, and
through them, she stated, we receive
the wisdom of the ages, acquire the
facts by which to understand the
economic and scientific changes that
are taking place, and to enlarge our
practical knowledge, which makes us
more efficient, and that through
books we find enrichment for every
phase of our lives. She emphasized
the importance of teaching children
the pleasure of book companionship
and the joy of owning, and how par
ents should encourage children to
love good books. Mrs. Escoe ended
her talk by giving reviews of a num
ber of best-sellers.
At the close of the meeting the
hostesses served tea and sandwiches.
Those present, were: Mosaames L.
H. Isbell, L. J. Lyle, H. J. W. Kizer,

ONE-VARIETY PLANS
Elberton, Ga.—The Elbert County
Agricultural Association has ordered
a carload of cottonseed for use in
one variety planting.
When making pea soup, always
throw in a slice of bread. It pre
