Ballet Skirts
To Come Next
So They Say
ATLANTA, Ga„ May 8. Ballet
skirts are .prophesied by Mrs. W. H.
Felton, of Cartersville, Georgia’s wo
man statesman, if the present abbre
viated styles in dress continuue. For
that reason Mrs. Felton believes the
day of the short skirt is doomed, for
women have not yet reached the point
where they will parade Peachtree
street a la Rosina Galli.
Mrs. Felton’s words are being borne
out in ’New York today. There the
skirts, which suddenly shot from four
inches from the ground to twelve
inches from the ground, have shot
down again to seven inches from the
ground. Before long, Whitehall
street merchants declare skirts will be
their natural length again.
The cycle of the styles, bringing
gnek the fashions of the grandmoth
ers and their grandmothers before
them, have revived what Mrs. Felton
calls the “Jim Along Josey,’’ The “Jim
Along Josey’’ was the style from which
the shortwaist came, and its history is
most interesting.
AGED GRANDMOTHER
So Weak She Could Hardly Stand-
Made Strong by Vino].
Right here in Americus I have seen
such excellent results from Vinol that
1 it is a pleasure to know it is doing
so much good for old people in other
I parts of the country,
Woodbridge, N. J.—“My Grandma
was recovering from the grippe and
was so weak she could hardly stand,
and as she keeps house for my father
and myself, she couldd not get around
at all. She had taken cod liver oil and
many other medicines, but nothing
seemed to do her any good. At last
we heard of Vinol and tried it, and
Grandma commenced to feel better
right away, and got strong very soon,
so she gets around as well as ever.
We all praise Vinol for it is a splen
did medicine.” Myrtle H. Bunn.
The reason Vinol is so successful
in restoring strength to the aged is
because of the rare combination of
tonic iron, the curative medicinal
extractives of fresh cods’ livers, beef
peptone and mild native wine, tl
supplies iron to the blood, quickens
the appetite, aids digestion, pro
motes proper assimilation of food,
and enriches the blood and brings
back the strength of renewed health.

COMPANY
ACCOUNTANTS ARE HOW
COMING FROM EVERYWHERE
ATLANTA ,Ga., May 8. —There’s very
few things Georgia is shy on, but here
is one—certified public accountants.
Right now this state is importing these
experts from foreign countries, par
ticularly from Scotland. Chairman
Joel Hunter of the state board of cer
tified accounts, has been so advised.
Chas. Neville, of Savannah, secretary
of the Georgia Society of Certified
Accountants, wrote him that several
chartered accountants have been
brought from Scotland to meet the de
mand for this service.
It looks like there is a good op
portunity for Georgians to equip
themselves for this line of work. The
opportunity to stand the esamination
and secure certificates will be given at
the meeting which has just been call
ed by the State Board of Certified
Accountants, to be held at the Ansley
Hotel, in Atlanta, May 17 and 18.
This examination will be conducted
by all of the members of the board,
including Joel Hunter, chairman, At
torney Hudson Moore, of Atlanta,
and R. W. Jemison, of Macon. It is
expected that a dozen or more appli
cants will stand the examination, and
to those who pass successfully, certi
cates will be issued by the governor.
The state board, which has offices
at 1006 Empire Building, in Atlanta,

NEW BUNCH INDICTMENTS
ATLANTA, Ga., May B.—For the pur

Fulton county grand jury and secured

with the same offense on the same al

ZE AMENDE HONORABLE
In Sunday's Times-Recorder and in
the article telling of the approaching
marriage of Dr. James Irving Giddings
the type made us say the happy event
would occur on June 11th, when it

this correction that friend Giddings’

Infant Life Is
Necessary For
The Country
LONDON, May B.—“lf the British
Empire is to be kept together, infant
life must be preserved.” This note of
warning from the head of fthe Bir
mingham Maternity hospital in con
nection with this statement that “as a
result of the war there were between
4,5500 and 5,000 fewer babies in Bir
mingham last year,” has been re
echoed by the newspapers and the
clergy throughout the country. At
tention of Englishmen is again called
to the fact that the birth rate has
fallen to the lowest figures on record
and that at the same time the infant
mortality rate is going up.
A man shortage greater than any
Ergland has known in its history is
threatening the country, says the Lon
don Times medical correspondent who
proceeds to compare the conditions
here with those in Germany, where,
he adds, “owing to the far sightedness
of the Germans, the population jump
ed from 42,000,000 in 1875 to 60,000,000
in 1905.”
“The world at this hour is having an
cbject lesson in the meaning of birth
statistics,” continues the correspond
ent. "The Germans swelled their to
tal population not only by births but
also by the prevention of Infant death,
which is one of the greatest works
standing to the credit of a scientific
people.
“As a people we must set our house
in order, lest In the days to come we
find it tenantless and so become a
prey to foes who have shown a wiser
foresight and a truer appreciation of
I values than ourselves. No sane man,
! knowing the facts, can doubt that our
i whole national future is In jeopardy.”
