♦ BABY WEEK IN WAR TIME >
Plans for a British National Babv
Week are under way, according to
letters received by the Children’s Bu
reau of the United States Department
of Labor from the Provisional Baby
Week Committee. And the American
Baby Week will be observed in more
than a thousand communities.
Miss Julia O. Lathrop, chief of the
children’s bureau, commenting on the
enthusiasm with which, among the var
ied claims of the moment, baby week
committees have continued their work,
said:
“No sounder patriotic service can be
offered at this the practical
study of how each community can
preserve the welfare of its children,
its last line of defense. England has
learned so well the need for protecting
her mothers and babies that welfare
work has redoubled there since com
mon sense teaches that each commun
ity should study well its own needs and
make sure that its preparation for
the grim future which threatens shall
include the safeguarding of the lives
and 'welfare of its children ”.
"Here in America, before war is ac
tually upon us, is it not the part of the
war began. For the first year of war
her infant mortality rate was higher
than in previous years, but for 191 C
it was the lowest rate on record for
that country.”—Atlanta Constitution.
NUMBER OF BOY BABIES BORN
REPORTED TO BE INCREASING
ATLANTA, Ga., June 2.—The ojd
tradition that two males are born for
every female in time of w r ar would
seem to have been given some corrobo
ration by the records of Grady hospital
in this city since April 6, the day on
which congress declared a state pt
war between the United States and
Germany. In that tin\e the number of
boy babies born at the hospital nas
been 41 and the number of girl babies
born has been 26, which almost meas
ures up to the ratio of the old war
time tradition.
AIRMEN MUST BE
EXPERTS TO LIVE
WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES
AFIELD, June 2.—A fool, that is
what "serious" airmen called the chap
who did stunts with his machine be
fore this war began. The aerial acro
bat paradoxically was looked down
upon. Today the whole game has
changed and the more circus stunts a
pilot can do the safer he is in the air.
Unless a man can loop the loop, fly
upside down, bujpp the bumps and do
a general topsy-turvy, wine-jelly wob
ble while never missing a note with his
machine gun, his life is apt to be a
short and slightly agitated one.
With the advent of long, bright
summer days, battleplanes march
access the sky, patrol the clouds and
do post-duty there in just the same
way as soldiers do on the ground.
There are machines corresponding to
infantry, which go in droves and at
tack or repel attacks. Others are
like cavjalry and do scouting. Still
more are comparable to the artillery
Some are like tanks, same like armor
ed motor cars, and so do sniping
among the creamy thunderheads. But
the pilot of each machine must know
how to fly as human beings never flew
before, otherwise the cracker-box on
which he sits at meal time is sure to
play the role of a vacant chair at
some not very distant date.
From a gun-pit near Monchy-le
Drenn I have just witnessed some of
the most terrific fighting of the war
Aside from the savage attacks and
counter attacks by infantry through
out this region and an artillery activ
ity thus far unsurpassed anywhere, the
battle was just as tough as any in
the air as on the earth.
A fleet of 18 wide-winged bombers
swept across the line high up, ac
companied by light fighters darting
about like hawks keeping hostile ma
chines at a distance. Patrols guarded
the British side of the line, sailing up
and down, swerving and turfiing, ready
for attack or defense, while air senti
nels kept watch about the observation
balloons lest out of the cloud-pits
should dart a destroyer-type German
plane and put the sausage down. Now
and then, as Prussian airmen attempt
ed to force their way over to the Eng
lish side to give their artillery the
range on batteries and troops, fierce
fighting developed in which machines
v T ere brought down crashing.
Between Monchy and Guemappe the
German infantry suddenly appeared in
the open, coming from behind Vert
Wood, southeast of Monchy, and the
enemy araillery increased their shell
fire on this hill-top until it was bu
ried under white, yellow and black<
smoke. Shrapnel filled the air with
their thin puffs of smoke, one white
puff and one black, and, lest the Brit
ish should throw in their reserves, a
barrage of light and heavy explosives
rained down on the slopes to the
west.
Here British battleplanes sot in
sotae of their stunts, which would have
, set a grandstand wild with mixed awe
. and delight. One pilot swooped down
. almost perpendicularly as though
; about to crash into the shattered roof
. of smoking, seething Monchy, but.
just as he seemed about to touch, he
careened on the tip of one wing, turn
ed at sickening speed to the right and
disappeared into the smoke of battle,
' a few yards at most over the heads of
the madly attacking Germans. For a
* few seconds his sudden appearance
and the deadly work of his machine
1 gun must have caused something akin
■ to panic in the enemy ranks, then he
I and away again at 130 miles an hour
1 Round and round he turned, swooping
f on the back stretch of every round.
' until completely lost to view, He loop
t rd, twisted .wobbled and di-T&d .so that
5 only a chance shot might touch him
8 It looked as if he had gone mad yet
• only this seeming madness made his
' escape from death possible. But for
bis ariea! acrobatcs he and his ma
- chine would have been riddled with
bullets. As it was he came out suc
cessful and' unharmed. The Germans
were hurled back, smashed and de
moralized ahd part of the glory of de
Rating them was his.
In the meantime a battle was being
fought out in the clouds above the
fields west of Wancourt, southwest of
I Monchy. Further to the north an
ether German was hit at 15,000 feet
and down he fluttered like a dead leal,
followed by the British aviator who
ha-.l downed him. This he did to make
sure the fall was real, not faked.
The most thrilling of all was the
duel high above the gunpit where I
sat and looked on. It was between
two mere boys. For 20 minutes these
two fought for position, sparred at an I
altitude of nearly three miles, neither
being able to bring his machine gun
to bear on the other. They looped- ;
nose-dived, slide-slipped and Bid |
stunts, one after another, but each held ;
his own. Finally the German fled.

TO PLOW UP AND PLANT
MANY MAGNIFICENT LAWNS
ATLANTA, Ga„ June I.—The mag
nificent lawns surrounding the country
homes on Peachtree road, in Druid
Hills and other rich suburban home
sections near Atlanta, will probably be
plowed up and planted in Irish pota
toes if the war goes on another year.
Under normal conditions no amount
of moiiey could persuade the owners
t odestroy the beautiful lawns which
have taken them years to cultivate,
with their close-cropped Bermuda and
blue grass, and their carefull cultur
ed flower beds, but if the necessity
1 of war suggests the use of every avail
able foot of ground for raising food,
ihe last one of them will be sacrificed.
It is estimated that 30,000,000 peo
ple of which a large proportion live in
■ the South, already have responded to
‘ the appeal to cultivate home gardens,
1 and that nearly a third of the entire
population of the United States is now
i engaged in some degree in tilling the
i soil for food crops.
♦ UMTS OF THE FEDERATION ♦
THE ENDOWMENT FUND ♦
♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦■♦■♦♦♦
' The regular increase of the Federa
' tion from the annual dues of the clubs
■ - which is only three dollars from
■ each club —does not permit of putting
' into operation plans to increase the
efficiency of the Federation and to
i meet the ever increasing demands up
s on it.
i In recognition of this situation, four
i years ago, the Woman's Club Edition
i of the Atlanta Constitution was issued
• by the club women of the state, and
■ the net proceeds of three thousand dol
i lars gave a nucleus for the Ella F.
• White Memorial Endowment Fund.
I Since then two hundred and eighty
. dollars have been donated by the
■'clubs.
i| We have, to be sure, apparently
i rested out interest in the Endowment
■ since the year that brought the gener
i ous profits from the Womans Edition,
• but I sincerely believe that we are not
to be satisfied with the day of small
; things, but, as we see more clearly thn
. benefits of a larger endowment we will
■ more willingly work for it. that the
t Endowment will be on your hearts and
minds, and that contributions will not
t only be voluntary but most generous.
s lam sure we are ambitious to raise
■ this fund to an amount that will re-
- fleet credit upon our organization
i which aims to advance the interests of
- Georgia, and to promote which it must
3 have the necessary equipment.
I can never forget the enthusiasm
with which the Executive Board of the
Federation endorsed Mrs. Bolling
; Jones’ motion to make our Endowment
; Fund $25,000. It w'as with this aim in
f view that Mrs. Lindsay Johnson. Mrs.
Attley. Mrs. Willet and others worked
t sc- assiduously for the success of the
, Club Edition of the Constitution in
• 1913.
Our thirty-three hundred dollars are
well invested, paying semi-annual in
terest, and we have already seen some
results which the interest of this fund
furnishes to the Federation. We now
see that the establishment of this fund
was a real preparedness .for the de
mands upon the Federation, and that
the very foundation upon which must
rest much of the definite and substan
tial work—that will be lasting and far
reaching—must be the Endowment.
We wish each club to feel that it is
the unit of the Federation, and that
any measure which benefits the whole
will benefit its parts.
Now who will be the first to start
the Founders list by sending one hun
dred dollars for the Endowment, of the
Honor Roll with a gift of twenty-five
dollars’ This means either club or
individual, and these we shall make
permanent as it will keep in mind those
who have served faithfully and well in
the club life, representing as it does.
True Service.
Please remember this is a perman
ent fund, and I am sure we all under
stand that the plan is to invest the
fund, the interest alone to be used.
Reference to the treasurer’s report will
show that this has been done to date.
Let each club make its own plans for a
donation, and remember, each member
doing her part we will soon raise the
$25,000 which will put our Federation
on a solid foundation. Let our slogan
be: "The Endowment Raised in this
Administration.”
Our Historian, Mrs. Harvie Jordan,
is now deep in the work of the History
of the Georgia Federation of Women's
Clubs which she hopes to c omplete by
the next annual convention. This his
tory will be a survey of the splendid
work that our Federation has done.
The idea for having the history was
not only that the present generation
may know what we are doing, but
that in years to come, we as club wo
men will have left something upon
which to base the statement that we, as
women, have done our part in the up
building of Georgia, and that the state
is better for having had the Georgia
State Federation working within its
boundaries, and that the proceeds from
its sales may help to raise the En
dowment
Any inquiries regarding the Endow
ment will be gladly answered. Re
member this fund is your property, for
the benefit of your community and
your state. Shall we not together
work zealously to complete it?
All contributions should be sent to
the Chairmen, Mrs. Z. I. Fitzpatrick,
Thomasville, or Mrs. P. J. McGovern,
Atlanta.
I trust each club president will have
this appeal for the Endowment read to
her club. Faithfully yours,
MRS. Z. I. FITZPATRICK,
Director Ga. Fed. Woman’s Clubs.
