NATION’S TWELVE
GREATEST WOMEN
A MOTHER HEADS THE LIST.
COMMITTEE FOUND TASK
EXTREMELY DIFFICULT.
WASHINGTON. Aiter months
of debate, comparing of views and
study of achievement a committee of
| the National League of- Women Vo
lters has agreed upon the 12 foremost
women of today and has included in
that list the name of Florence Rena
Sabin, of Baltimore, distinguished
ianatomist of Johns Hopkins Univer
sity.
Others in the list are Jane Addams,
' philanthropist; . Cecelia Beaux, paint
ing; Julia Lathrop, child welfare; An
na Jump Cannon, astronomy; Louise
Home, music; Carrie Chapman Catt,
politics; M. Carey Thomas, educa
tion; Anna Botsford Comstock, nat
'ural history; Martha Van Rensselaer,
home economics; Minnie Maddern
Fiske, stage, and Edith Wharton, lit
erature.
Request Comes From Chile.
Just a year ago Senorita Manduja-|
no, a Chilean delegate to the Pan-
American Conference of Women in
Baltimore, asked the National League
of Women Voters, which called the
conference, to give a list of the 12
greatest living American women Sso
that she might write about them for
South American women. The request
seemed so simple that nobody thought
of refusing it.
“Anybody, off-hand, certainly could
name 12, or even 24, greatest wo
men,” a league statement today says.
“THere was not the slightest difficul
ty about it and in an incautious mo-‘
ment the league, or the league offi-|
cers at headquarters, consented to
supply the list. |
Choice Is Difficult. |
“Leagues in all the states were ask
ed to send.in names for consideration,
and they did. Hundreds of lists pour
ed into league headquarters and it
was presently seen that while naming
50 great American women might be
a simple matter selecting a dozen
only, and those the greatest, needed
the wisdom of Selomon and wider
knowledge than even Solomon pos
sessed of all the fields in which wo
men are doing great work.”
Mrs. Maud Wood Park, president
of the league, speedily decided that
an extra league committee should be
appointed to select the names, for she
frankly confessed that she could not
take the responsibility of signing any
list all by herself, or even with the
board of directors of the organization.
A committee was formed by the wo
men’s joint congressional committée
and it is no secret that finding men
and women to serve on it was no easy
matter. Few persons were will
ing to attempt so impossible a task
as selecting the 12 unquestionably
preeminent women in the United
States. The committee -as finally se
lected set to work and found in the
first meeting that nobody has ever
adequately defined greatness.
Puts a Mother at Top.
Mrs. Park’s own declared convic
tion is that the greatest woman she
has ever known is a“wonderful moth
er who has dragged a fatherless fam
ily out of a cellar to a prosperous
home, and her greatness is not sus
pected outside the very few persons
who knew her in her direst poverty.
“For the most obvious of reasons
women like that cannot be named,”
the league adds. “It is humanely im
possible to know who the really great
est women in the country are, but the
committee realizing this has finally
decided on a list. It presents the
names as the ‘l2 living American wo
men who have definitely contributed
most in their several fields to the bet
terment of the wold.”
A CARD OF THANKS.
The children of Mrs, H. F. Melton
take this method of expressing to
their friends and neighbors the hearti
est appreciation of the many expres
sions of sympathy in their recent be
reavement caused by the death of
their mother. The. numerous kind acts
and tender ministrations have im
measurably tended to lighten our
grief and will ever be gratefully re
membered.

Help Kidneys
° .
gy Drinkin
More Water
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and
Help Neutralize Irri
tating Acide
Kidney and bladder irritations often
result from acidity, says a noted au
thority. The kidneys help filter this
acid from the blood and pass it on to
the bladder, where it may remain to
jrritate and inflame, causing a burning,
scalding sensation, or setting up an irri
tation at the neck of the bladder, oblig
ing you to seek relief two or three
times during the night. The sufferer
in constant dread; the water passes
sometimes with a scalding sensation and
is very profuse; again, there is diffi
culty in voiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it
%causc they can’t control urination.
Thile it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is often
one of the most simple ailments to over
come. Begin drinking lots of soft water,
also get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast. Continue this for two or
three days. This will help neutralize
the acids in the system so they no longer
are a source of irritation to the bladder
and urinary organs, which then act nor
mal again.
Jad Salts is inespensive, and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and is used by
thousands of folks who are subject to
urinary disorders caused by acid irri
tation. Jad Salts causes no bad effects
whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves
cent lithia-water drink which may
quickly relieve your bladder irritation.
By all means have your physician exam
ine your kidneys at least twice a year.
Bobbed Hair, Lip Stick and Short Skirts;
Oh, Boy! See How Flappers Assert Rights
SOMERSET, Pa.—This little city
has been somersaulted into a style
class war with the bobbed haired, lip
stick-waving flappers arrayed on one
side and her more timid sisters of long
tresses and silkless stockings on the
other.
The first clash occurred yesterday
when the Parent-Teacher Association
formally endorsed the ‘“old-fashioned
girl” and took steps to petition the
school board to adopt a uniform style
of dress for all school girls. The rules
would bar her silk hose, short skirts,
bobbed hair and low neck, sleeveless
dresses. "
CALL MASS MEETING
OF POULTRY RAISERS
PURCHASING OF COMMUNITY
HATCHERY WILL BE ONE
MATTERS DISCUSSED.
The temporary officers of the Ter
rell County Co-Operative Chicken
Association have called a mass meet
ing for every one in the county in
terested in chicken raising. The meet
ing will be held in the court house
at 10 o’clock Friday morning, and Dr.
1.. Lamar, temporary president, will
preside.
There will be several questions of
interest to be brought up at the meet
ing, the most important being the ad
visability of purchasing a community
hatchery. Since the inauguration of
the Terrell county co-operative chick
en sales there has been much progress
made by the chicken raisers of the
county, and if a hatchery is bought
and installed many more sales can be
held and a much larger profit realized.
It is extremely important that a
large crowd attend this meeting, and
it is hoped that every person inter
ested in poultry raising in the county
will be present.
THE SOCIAL REALM.
On Monday night Miss Theodosia
Hollingsworth was hostess at an in
formal dance complimenting Miss

number of young people enjoyed

ting of the birthday cake Miss Mary
Hatcher found the thimble and dime
and Master James Ball the ring. Ice
cream, cake and punch were served.
Miss Elsie Brooks, of Atlanta, and
Miss Rowena Bunn helped to give
the little children a merry evening.
PORCH PARTY.
On Thursday morning Mrs. D. C.
Petty was hosPess at a lovely sewing
party complimenting her sisters, Miss
es Fangrie and Elizabeth Hamlin and
Mrs. Edward Muecke, of Macon. A

ers made the rooms and porches at
tractive, where the guests assembled.
A delicious salad course was served.
Mrs. Petty was assisted in entertain
ing by Mrs. Edmond Hart and Mrs.
Bill Hanson.
LUNCHEON FOR VISITORS.

Cody Hollingsworth, of Midway,
Ala. Those present were Misses
Theodosia Hollingsworth, Henrietta

A WEINER ROAST. |
A delightful and novel affair of Fri
day evening was the weiner roast at
which Miss Elizabeth Parks was|
hostess for Miss Florence Thomas, of
Eufaula, and Miss Harriett Rylander,
of Americus. On account of the in
clement weather the “roast,” which|
was to be “al fresco,” was given in-!
doors. Proms and old-fashioned
games filled an unusually pleasant‘
evening. |
Wind pressure at high altitudes is‘
much greater than near the earth’s
surface. I
Gold Slippers and stockings would
be charming with a gown of Lauvin
green crepe. .
THE DAWSON NEWS
But the flapper contingent, hearing
of the meeting, stormed it. Their ver
bal protest, dglivered in rhyme, was
as short and snappy as the dress and
manner of the flapperette who deliv
ered: it
“I can show my shoulders,
I can show my knees;
I am a free-born American
And can show what I please.”
With that the flappers withdrew,
while the Parent-Teacher session was
turned into an indignation meeting.
Action on the dress question will
be demanded of the school board, the
parents and teachers decided.
SUNDAY GAMBLERS
CAUGHT BY POLICE
WERE SHOOTING DICE ON
SIDEWAL§ ON MAIN ST. AS
OFFICER INTERRUPTS.
A group of youthful Senegambians
were rudely disturbed by Policeman
O. L. McNeil on Sunday afternoon
in their Sabbath diversion of an ex
citing game of African golf, which
was staged in the heart of Main street
on the sidewalk in front of the Joe
‘Thomas building.
The dusky manipulators of the
ivories were enjoying the game with
such gusto that they failed to note
the approach of the policeman until
he was directly upon them, and then,
being unable to make a getaway, the
whole gang was corralled.
The case- was scheduled for trial at
mayor’s court on Monday morning,
but was postponed until the following
day. During the interim, however,
state warrants were served by the
sheriff, and the bold crapshooters
were placed in jail to meditate over
their lack of respect for law.

[. S. MARTIN
DAWSON, GEORGIA -
PLANS COMPLETED
TO MARKET PEANUTS
CO-OPERATIVE ASSOCIATION
ADVISES BEST METHODS
OF GATHERING CROP.
With the harvest season for pea
nuts almost at hand, and actually in
progress in some sections of the belt,
the Georgia Peanut Growers’ Co-
Operative Association has about com
pleted plans for marketing this im
portant crop. With more than 100,-
000 of the 142,000 acres of commercial
Spanish peanuts planted ‘in Georgia
this year under contract to the new
co-operative marketing organization,
the association will easily be the larg
est single ‘factor in the world in the
market for white Spanish peanuts.
Due to the fact that the association
has probably the bulk of the choice
peanuts of the state under contract in
its total of more than 100,000 acres,
it is estimated that fully 89 per cent
of the state’s total output of white
Spanish, which is the largest of any
state’s, will pass through the co
operative association.
While gathering season for the bulk
of the state’s peanuts is not yet at
hand, there are forward peanuts in
many sections that are ready for har
vesting and are actually being har
vested in many cases. Officers of the
association this week again emphasiz
ed their warnings against digging pea
nuts too soon; against curing them in
windrows instead of shock cuting
them, and against threshing them in
stead of picking them with a regular
peanut picker. “These warnings were
not issued idly or for the sake of hav
ing something to say,” Col. Robert E.
1.. Spence , president and general man
ager of the peanut association, declar
ed. “They represent the mature judg
ment and careful investigation of all
the experts we have consulted, and
rest on reliable human experience. If
we expect our peanuts to bring high
er prices than ordinary peanuts—and
that is one of our firm expectations—
we must use care in gathering and
preparing them for the market as
well as in growing them. Peanuts
gathered too soon will certainly grade
as inferior peanuts, and I hope our
members will realize this. Sun cured
peanuts will suffer in comparison
with shock cured ones and the man
who delivers shock cured peanuts will
receive his reward in better prices,
just as will the man who picks his
peanuts with a picking machine in
stead of threshing them. Don’t let
anybody tell you otherwise.”
