Atlanta Commissioners Have
Evidence Against Resorts in
City's Residence Section.'
The newly created Atlanta vice com
mission. which grew out nf the city
wide campaign of the Men and Religion
Forward Movement, has begun active
work on its probe of the social evil
in this city. It proposes to conduct an
investigation wbjeh will bring out every
derail of life in the underworld of At
lanta and then devise a plan to bring
about every reform possible. The com
mission is moving carefully and delib
erately before recommending any ac
tion.
The first formal meeting of the com
mission was called by ('hairman Joseph
A. McCord yesterday afternoon in the
city hall. The body organized by elect
ing Dr. E. G. Ballinger vice chairman
and Thomas J. Day secretary. Every
member was present. Besides those
named, the commissioners are John S.
Candler, James R. Nutting. Orville H.
Hall. George W. Boynton. William G.
Humphrey, R. N. Fickett, Sr.. and
George I. Walker. They represent both
bodies of the city council and citizens
at large.
Wants Public to Help.
All meetings of the vice commission
are to be open to the‘public, and every
citizen is invited to offer information
or suggestions which may assist in the
work of reform. It is probable that a
second meeting will be held this week.
Information has been received by the
commission that a number of citizens
are ready to furnish data which will aid
materially in the investigation. It is
said that evidence is already before
members of the commission which will
result in closing a number of resorts
now existing in resident o sections.
Ask Police For Aid.
The first step taken by the commis
sion was the adoption of a resolution
asking council for $2;»0 as an expense
fund and th< police department for a
special officer to aid in investigations.
The first efforts of the board will be
directed at disreputabb- resorts mas
querading a? cheap hotels and lodging
houses. Several of th<s- have been
the scent • of police raids recently, and
it is expected that three or four will be
closed upon the recommendation of the
commission within a few weeks.
The protection of young gir >. rather
than the reform of hardened sinners,
is to be one of the principal aims of th« a
vice commission.
The reported practice by the police
court of fining women at regular in
tervals, amounting practically to
ce nsing them, was taken up. The < <mr
mission w ill investigate this and re«
ommerid that tlm practice be stopped,
and that jail sentences take the place
of fines.

We Would Like to Arouse Your Curiosity
About REAL VALUES in Muslin
Underwear
Y\ e could write pages about muslin underwear—how
we search the market, the precautions we exercise, the rigid
inspection that garments—the the trimmings, the
workmanship—are subjected to; about the elimination of
one maker’s gowns, another’s combinations, another’s pet
ticoats according as they vary from a standard that this
store must maintain—about quantity buying that brings
prices down until there is no further recourse—and about
special purchases that now and again we are fortunate
enough to make—and yet when we had written all the de
tails of all the facts that make this undermuslin depart
ment just what it is, we would not have convinced a woman
of the values here, as one look with her own eyes will show
her.
So we would like to arouse your curiosity about this
stock of muslin underwear.
See It, disregard our claims, disregard any claims—
judge for yourself, make comparisons. We have done it
and,we speak now what are our true convictions. But we
may be prejudiced. You are not.
Value is your only prejudice.
Where do you find it? We are so earnest in our con
viction that we will welcome your verdict. And we refer
not only to the garments below that for one reason or an
other are especially priced, but also to regularly priced gar
ments that may be bought at any time.
Get your curiosity aroused sufficiently to find out for
yourself what values really are.
The best way, the only way, is to look everywhere, to
I compare.

25c Drawers 19c from our regular and best stock. Best because we pay more
to have them made better —two inches wider across the stride than regular sizes

seallop.
$1.50 Drawers 95c. Their beauty is in the neat and dainty trimmings of
lace and embroidery, the soft nainsook and the tiny tucks, the Hat flounces.
Also, see the embroidery and lace-trimmed nainsook drawers at 75c. and the
French crepe drawers trimmed with cluny laces —their prices are regular—the
values are not.
