Being Unfair to
Our Women—
Within a decade, electric
stoves, washing machines, iron
ing machines, water heaters,
mixing devices, refrigerators
and similar power appliances
will be as much a part of a house
as the modern bathroom, is the
prediction of Earle E. White
home, editor of Electrical
World.
“While the modern office is
filled with labor saving devices,
only 18 per cent of the homes are
thus provided. The women are
required to do the same kind of
drudgery their grandmothers did,
all because the home is away be
hind the times.
“The development of the con
sumer-owned power companies
will bring about the further use
of electricity in the home.”
One of the most important
problems befpre us of the
South today is carrying electrical
current to our farm homes.
When the rural home enjoys the
same comforts and necessary la
bor-saving devices as the city
home, then we shall see a great
er “back to the country" move
ment.
Until recent years the South
has had a surplus of cheap labor,
but that condition has passed in
to history—and it will not re
turn. With less labor and high
er labor, there will be fewer do
mestic servants, and machines
must come in to lighten the
labor, of the kitchen and wash
room.
If we are to be fair with our
women, we must do what we can
to hurry along labor saving ma
chines for the rural home.

Advertising and What
It Means to the World—
Art, politics, music, drama,
crime, industry, commerce, edu
cation, and medicine, invest
ments, inventions, war, history,
all come in for their share of edi
torial comment cast in phrases
of commendation or condemna
tion. .
Advertising! How seldom it
is granted even passing notice!
What do you suppose would
happen if every line of advertis
ing now appearing in the publi
cations of this country were im
mediately and indefinitely dis
continued?
Demand would dwindle—se
lection of merchandise would
be hurled into a maze of uncer
tainty—production would feel
the sharp pinch of curtailment—
merchandise would mildew on
dealers' shelves because of lack
of consumer interest—thousands
would be thrown out of employ
ment —buying power would be
paralyzed—the entire nation
would crash into the depths of
financial depression strewn with
business Wreckage-
Conception of such a situation
emphasizes the vital importance
of advertising and endows it
with the right to frequent con
sideration in the editorial sec
tion of the newspapers.
But for advertising the daily
paper of today would be an im
possibility because the reader
would be compelled to pay a
sum so large that only a portion
of the people could afford them.
Its value is clearly proven by
the fact that the largest manu
facturers, once they start adver
tising, continue it, adding to their
advertising appropriations from
year to year. If advertising
didn’t pay, such statement could
not be made.
Just to cite one example, take
Calumet baking powder. For
more than 35 years its sales
story has appeared in the daily
papers of America. Each year
it has increased its appropriation
until today the Calumet people
are investing millions in adver
tising space, and this investment
is Calumet's most valuable as
set. It is worth more than all of
its physical property.
But after all, the finest thing
about advertising in the daily
press is the fact that even the
smallest manufacturer or met-

chant can afford to link it to his
business, and if bought consist
ently and economically it WILL
bring to him a rich return in
profits.
He can start as Calumet start
ed—in a small way, and make
his advertising finance his ad
vancement.

A Square Deal
For Actors —
An effort is being made by
the professional actor to cleanse
the name of his profession. It is
their contention that too often
persons under arrest are desig
nated as “actors’* or “actresses"
by the press, when in reality
they are not members of that
profession.
In a letter to the editor of the
Times-Recorder, E. F. Albee, of
the Keith Circuit of Theaters,
says:
Dear Mr. Eve: Speaking for
the National Vaudeville Artists’
association, may I ask you to con
sider a request which seems to me
fair and reasonable, but which I
beg to assure you is offered in
no spirit of criticism.
Very frequently items appear
in the newspapers in which wom
en under arrest for petty crimes
are called “actresses." Nine
times out of ten this term is used
through some custom which is
certainly not justified in fact nor
in the spirit of fairness and truth.
In the ordinary cause of our
activities these cases are investi
gated by the National Vaudeville
association. There were two in
stances last week in which women
under arrest were spoken of as
actresses, whereas they were
merely unfortunates of the street
not connected in any way with
the stage. Only recently one
of the metropolitan newspapers
attributed the criminal tendencies
of two little runaway girls to the
fact that they had been taught to
do shoplifting by “two actresses
whom they had met in .New
York.” It is hardly worthwhile
saying anything to emphasize the
injustice this did to the reputa
ble members of a hardworking
profession, especially since it was
quite untrue.
May I ask you to establish a
rule in your office which will
provide that no woman who is
arrested or otherwise comes in
for mention in a derogatory way
shall be called an “actress” un
less the fact that she is really an
actress is well established. It
seems to me, if I may offer this
suggestion, that a safe and proper
ruling would be to say that a
woman is an actress only if she
is acting on the stage in some
theatre, or is well known in the
profession.
As a profession, we believte
the actor no worse than others.
We know that, as Mr. Albee
points out, many times crimes
and misdemeanors are laid on
their shoulders undeservedly
and we are sure the newspapers
will endeavor to comply with
Mr. /Xlbee’s request.
Os course, the reporter, mak
ing the jail or prison beats, must
as a rule, take the prisoner's
word as to the prisoner’s profes
sion, but most reporters and
most newspapers will use more
-care in the use of the terms
"actor’’ and "actress." There
always has been a close bond be
tween the two professions.

Miss Chloe Littlejohn is among

leaving yesterday.
Mrs. W. A. Dodson, Misses Mattie
Lewis and Georgia Bena Dodson,
and son, Will, have returned home
from North Georgia.
Mrs. Florence D. Hollis and
daughteres Misses Elizabeth and

from a stay in North Georgia.
At a conferenc e_of Furlow Lawn
Baptist Church a day or two since,
Rev. R. L. Bivins was again unani
mously elected to the pastorate, no
other name than his being consid
ered. This was a well merited and
an appreciated compliment and the
hope is expressed that Mr. Bivins
will aciciept the call. For 7 years
he has been pastor of Fulow Church.
The price of the fleecy went the
wrong way yesterday to the extent
of a dozen points, and spot cotton
for the time, dropped below ten
cents.

assertion of his claims.
As to the “superiority” of one
race over another, not much is yet
definitely known. ’
But one thing is certain. No dif
ferience of race is so great as the
difference of individuals in all
races.
The gan between the brightest
and the dullest white man, or the
brightest and dullest negro, is in
comparably wider than any ascer
tainable differeince between whites
and negroes generally.
If the white race is “superior” to
the black, in mental capacity, it is
not because an able white man is
more intelligent then an able negro
or a stupid negro more stupid than
I a stupid white man . but because
there is a larger proportion of one
or / the other in the two races.
