"When I grow gray and men shall say,
to me,
‘ What was the worth of living, truly
told?
Lo! thou hast lived thy life out; thou
art old;
Thou hast gathered fruit from many
a green-leaved tree,
And kissed love’s lips by many a sum
mer sea,
And twined thy soft hands in locks of
shining gold,
But all the days are dead days now,
behold;
Life passes onward—what is life to
thee?"
Then wilt I answer, as thy gracious
eyes,
Low, gleam upon me from dim, far
off skies;
“Life and its endless, deathless charm
—and still
That charm weaves rapture round
me at my will,
Life has its glory—for I have seen
Thee;
And roses and June sunsets —and the
sea." —George Barlow.

LADIES OF HOSPITAL
HELD THEIR MEETING.
Members of the Americus and Sum
ter County Hospital Association held
an important meeting at the home of
Mrs. C. C. Hawkins yesterday after
noon.
The meeting was for the purpose of
reporting on the matter of the recent
Redpath Chautauqua, and other mat
ters of interest to the association.
It was announced at this meeting
$96 was the amount raised from all
sources for the benefit of the associa
tion as a result of the Chautauqua as-

White Skirts for SI.OO
New Garbadines and Piques—four styles. Un
usual value at

fairs. And while the ladies are glad
and thankful for this amount, yet they
find that it was not enough in view of
the amount of work involved and the
responsibility assumed. Further they
think that the people of Americus
should give them a strong and active
support, especially in a financial way.
That these Chautauqua attractions are
worth much to the city, is without
question, hence the reason why the
ladies feel as they do over the matter.
As an appreciation of the coopera
tion given them on the part of this
paper the ladies submit the following.
“The ladies of the Hospital Associa
tion wish to express heartest appreci
ation for the magnificent co-operation
given them by the two daily papers of
this city before and during the week of
Chautauqua, Hundreds of people
were reached during the splendid med
ium of the papers, and the editors were
untiring in their efforts to aid the
Hospital Association in making the
Chautauqua of 1916 a great success.’

MISS LANE HURT 111
11 WTO COLLISION
A serious accident was narrowly
averted Saturday when an automobile
driven by John Walker Chappell, of
Croxton, ran into a car driven by
Miss Mary Hawkes, of this city. The
accident occured at the intersection of
Windsor avenue and Lamar street, near
the post office. The car, a heavy Max
well, driven by young Mr. Chappell
was atempting to turn into Windsor
avenue, when it smashed into the
Studebaker driven by Miss Hawkes,
whose car contained several young
girls, pupils of Miss Hawkes’ music |
school. The young ladies were part of
the class on their way to Myrtle
Springs for a picnic.
Miss Mary Frances Lane, the young
daughter of Col. and Mrs. W. T. Lane,
was the only one injured. Miss Lane
was seated on the fender of the ma
chine driven by Miss Hawkes, and her
right foot was considerably bruised.
After the accident the picknickers
went on to Myrtle to spend the day.
Mr. Chappell and by-standers say the
brakes of the Maxwel car refused to re
spond, the wreck being the result.
Neither car was hurt beyond re
pair, the Croxton car suffered a bent
right fender, and Miss Hawkes’ car
escaped, save for a blow’-out, which
was immediately repaired.

BfIOAO WORK DONE •
WITH FOUNDATION
ATLANTA, Ga., June 3. —Excellent
proof of the growing importance and
broadening scope of the work done by
the W. G. Raoul Foundation is shown
in the report for the month of May
j'.'st presented to the board of trustees
of the organization, by Executive Sec
retary Jas P. Faulkner.
The public has had the idea to a
great extent, that the work of the
Foundation is confined strictly to the
cure and prevention of tuberculosis,
but tills is not the case, as is made
clear in the report. One of the chief
aims of the Foundaton is to provide a
clearing house of Information oa
health subjects, including every pos
sible phase upon which questions
n ight be asked.
A great many of tlie inquiries, the
report states, come from country
homes, information being sought as to
methods of exterminating flies, sew
erage disposal, plans for running wa
ter in the home; literature of Social
Hygiene, and on the evils of the ci
garette habit, and even questions con
cerning organized play in schools ofr
the physical development of the chil
dren. All of these questions are care
fully answered by the Foundation, and
circulars and literature sent where
requested.
Another phase of the work in a
new direction, the report shows, is a
special campaign against tuberculosis
in childhood.
Lectures are being given by the ex
ecutive secretary in all parts of tlie
state before Institutes, Women's Clubs,
Chautauqua gatherings, on various
health subjects, thereby stimulating
community interests and creating a
demad for the information that the
office seeks to give. The great work of
the Raoul Foundation is made possible
through the splendid gift of captain W.
C. Raoul, the interest only being used,
supplemented by the sale of Red Cross
Christmas seals.
