Brown Not En-; thusiastic Over Bungalows or Cottages of Today. | It will take more than a squatty bun- I galow. a rose-bowereel cottage or even a pretentious country house to convince Mrs Joseph M Brown that any habita tion is cooler in midsummer than the old fashioned Southern mansion. To the first lady of Georgia the old Southern hojne with its high hall cut through the center, its vaulted ceilings, its lofty windows that can be thrown wide to spacious porches when the sun is down and drawn against the noonday glare spells the last word in summer comfort Mrs. Brown is nothing if not old fash ioned. She thinks of sleeping porches in terms of neuralgia - and connects summer diets with dyspepsia She much prefers the tall cool rooms of the executive man sion and sugar-cured bams from the gov ernor's Cherokee county farm. "Why. I couldn't give you any spe j ciflc recipe for keeping a house cool in I the summer time," said Mrs. Brown, when the question that will engross Atlantans tor the next few months was ventured. “Modern” Homes Hot. "The governor's mansion is an old fashioned house and ft Is so easy to keep cool that I have hardly given the question a thought. Then our home in Marietta is built on old-fashioned lines with thick walls and high ceilings, and it is very little trouble to keep it cool." As Mrs Brown spoke she stood in the reception room of the executive mansion at Peachtree and Cain streets. The shades were drawn against the rays of the afternoon sun. but the room, which should have been the hottest in the house, was easily 8 degrees cooler .than the street. "The problem of keening a house cool In the summer is a modern one." con tinued the governor's wife "Nowadays people put up a house with thin walls, low rooms and little windows Os course, such a house will be hot. "I could never believe a bungalow is coo! unless lite wind is blowing, because it is so low Mrs. Brown is not an enthusiast over the sleeping porch fad. To her the nut nf-doors chamber presents visions of neu ralgfa and other little ills which abound in damp weather. The governor, too. she said, preferred a roof over his head and four walls around him for real sleep Sleeping Porch for Children. "I imagine a sleeping porch would be fine for children. In tact, the governor Has built one on the farm for ours Rut one does not need a sleeping porch to be cool in Atlanta if the nouse is built for comfort Rut Mrs Brown has no list of rules for keeping her dwelling at a comforta ble temperature. She keeps her house n order anti cool because it is easy find natural for her to do so. Her domesticity is an instinct and noi an art. She admits that she Is old-fashioned and la.' • ■ 'aim to simplicity as her most I visible virtue. "There isn't any rule about these things. she concluded. Every woman should know bow to keep her bouse cool, it is merely a matter of common sense. With a properly constructed house, it Is no trouble at all. " FIVE CANDIDATES IN TROUP LAGRANGE. GA.

MTOISTS KICK ON TRAFFIC SWITCH I —.— Peachtree and West Peachtree Closed Because of Grading Work at Baker Street. Autoists corning into the business district from the north side this morn ing were stopped at Peachtree and Ivy streets and West Peachtree and Simp son streets and told that they must go around byway of Ivy or Spring. W. A. Hansel, acting city chief of construc tion. said today that from present in dications the closed streets would not. I be reopened for at least 60 days. The grade at. the five points formed by the two Peachtrees and Baker streets is being lowered four and one half feet by county workmen, and Fore man Collier said it would be three months before the streets would be passable again. Traffic is blocked one block from this point on all the streets leading up to It. As there is no other smoothly paved street leading into the center of the city, autoists are com plaining and a storm of protest is pre dicted if the streets remain closed long. In order to make this change of grade the shade trees on Baker street were rut down. This caused bitter crit icisms from the park board members. Mr. Hansel declared he would urg. the county officials to rush th® grading work as rapidly ns possible. The city then can repave the street and the trol. ley company adjust its tracks in a short time. ATLANTA BOY UNDER ARREST IN MEMPHIS FOR THROWING ROCK MEMPHIS.

ALL PROGRESSIVE MEN INCLUDED INUW New Party Convention to Meet | in Chicago August sto Nom inate for President. I * i OYSTER BAY. July S.—August 5 is the date set for the national conven tion of Colonel Roosevelt's new Pro gressive party tn a call Issued here by. Senator Dixon, campaign manager tor ('clone Roosevelt. Chicago is the place. The call is signed by members > of the committee chosen at a ineeting | held in Chicago and also includes the signatures of Roosevelt followers in 40 | states. Among the signers are Julian Har ,ris. Democrat, for Georgia; Judge Ben B. Lindsay. Democrat, for Colorado, and John M. Parker, Democrat, for Louisiana, other signers are Medili McCormick. LaVerne W. Noyes. Illi nois; Hen y W. Allen. Kansas; Leslie ('oombs. Kentucky; Charles J Bona parte. Maryland; W. R. Nelson, Mis souri; Joseph M. Dixon. Montana; ex- Governor J. Franklin Fort, New Jer sey; W.

William Draper Lewis, Pennsylvania; Governor R. T. Vessey, South Dakota; Cecil A. Lyon. Texas, Governor Jo- ! seph Carey, Wyoming. The first named of the signers is the editor of Uncle Remus's Magazine, of Atlanta, and a life-long Democrat. He is the eldest son of the late Joel ("han dler Harris. "Territories have no place in a na tional convention and will not be con sidered." declared Senator Dixon. "As for the missing eight states, the most of them probably will send dele gates. although they have not taken part In the call. "Maine, for instance, postponed any definite action because there is now a strong fight on in the primaries with the sympathy running in favor of the progressive movement. Delaware. i North Carolina. Arkansas and Nevada probably will take part. Mississippi I and South Carolina may possibly be ■ unrepresented. No Rules For Choosing Delegates. 'The call lays down no rules as to the methods of choosing delegates, since each state will be expected to se lect its delegates by its own parapher nalia: The representation will be cut ! down to Just one-half that of the pre- Ivious conventions. This was consid- I ered advisable since this convention is | to be notably a deliberative body and will certainly be composed of a class of men altogether different from those who usually attend conventions. “In all probability the convention will adopt the name 'National Pro gressive' for the new party, but I can not say definitely what will be done, j Thus far no issues have been authori tatively stated, and. of course, the plat form itself will have to be decided upon by the delegates.” The call says; "To the people of the United States, without regard to past political diffet ences. who, through repeated betrayals, ' realize that today the power of the crooked political bosses and of the privileged classes behind them Is so strong in the two old party organiza ’ tions that no helpful movement in the real interests of our country can conic out of either; "Who believe that the time h'as come r for a national progressive movement a nation-wide movement —on non-sec * tional lines, so that the people ma> be served in sincerity and truth by an or ganization unfettered by obligation to ' conflicting interests; "Who believe in the right and capac ity of the people tn rule themselves and effectively to control all the ’ agencies of their government and who ' hold that only through social and in ’ du'trlal justice thus secured can hon est property find permanent protec tion ; r “Who believe that government by the few tends to become and has. in fat t, become government by the. sordid in fluences that control the few; "For All Kinds of Men.” "Who believe that only through the ' movement proposed can we obtain in she nation and the several states the legislation demanded by the modern 1 industrial evolution, legislation whuh shall favor honest business and vet control the great agencies of modern business so as to insure their being used in 'ho interest of the whole peo r pie. legislation which shall promote < prosperity and at the same time secure the better and more equitable diffusion t of prosperity, legislation which shail promote the economic well-being us the honest farmer, wage worker, pro fessional man and business man alike, r but which shall at the same time strike . in efficient fashion—-and not merely B pretend to strike—at the roots of priv ilege In the world of industry no less s than In the world of politics.

Following 'he method adopted tn other states, the present Georgia legis lature probably will consider the aj. visability of passing an employer ' ■<. bility and compensation act. The iniitial steps have been taken In tha senate. Senator Harris is the au thor of a resolution providing the ap pointment of a Joint commission to in vestigate the situation and f:ame an act peculiarly adapted to Georgia con ditions. It is understood that in every ;;tat« where similar legislation has been en acted the greatest success has attend'd measures which have been framed to meet local conditions. The Harris resolution calls for a commission composed of two from t-e senate, three from the house and tvvn members, one a member of a lab": union and the other a lawyer, appoin’- ed by the governor. The commission is to act under the direction of the governor and its recommendations a e to be made to the governor and through him to the legislature.

DOCTORS REFUSE TO TREAT PATIENTS MANY SICK PEOPLE ARE RE- FUSED TREATMENT BY THE UNITED DOCTORS. 00 HOT TREAT IHCUMBIES Doctors Never Accept For Treat ment Incurable Cases —Only Cases They Can Benefit. Yesterday was another busy da; sot the United Doctors, who now have thei' Atlanta office permanently established on the second floor at No. 2 1-2 Auburn avenue. All day long the waiting rooms were crowded with patient-' eagerly awaiting their turn for a con sultation with this great specialist A number of cases were accepted fo’ treatment, but a larger number wee turned away—kindly but firmly " ; - that their cases could not be accepted for treatment, as it was the invariab'e rule of the United Doctors not to a> • cept any case for treatment unless thm were sure they could be helped. The?? specialists want the reputation of rs lievlng every case they treat, so to. are very careful in selecting their pa tients.
