«ICE CRUSADERS PUN l»M 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. HINE ASPIRES TO GO TO GEORGIA SENATE.

Chamberlin=Johnson=Dußose Company Atlanta New York Paris 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.

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.
