UNWIFEiy WIVES TO OE PUT ON PROBATION Coogler Declares Undomestic Women Are Chief Cause of the Divorce Evil. “Many husbands are started on the hellward road by unwisely wives. I find many instances where homes are wrecked and husbands t)re caused to fall simply because wives are undo ■mestic —have absolutely no knowledge of the art of cooking nor the proper manner of conducting a home. We should have a rigid law to disqualify all women for marriage who have had no domestic training. This is the solu tion of the divorce evil.' Making this declaration. Adult Pro bation Officer Coogler today announced he intended to extend the probation system to women. Any wife. *he as serts. who is found incompetent, or whose misconduct or lack of domestic ity has provoked her husband to err, will be placed on probation and will be required to comply with the rules and regulations of the system the same as the husband. ■ There are many women who need to be on probation and under the care of the law just as much or more than do their husbands,” said Officer Coogler. “Os course, many men are natural!) mean and mistreat their wives without cause, hut, on the other hand, numbers and numbers of husbands, who are good fellows at heart and are hard working men, are driven to the bad through the incessant nagging of un worthy wives and the lack of homelike conditions.” Leads in Home-Wrecking. The “uijdbmestic wife” is charged by Office’ Coogler as the greatest matri monial evil of the day. In his labors to redeem wrecked homes, he says, he finds that the great majority of such homes are steered on the rocks by this type of woman. “So many of our modern wives have never had any domestic training.” said the officer. "Thousands of them begin working in stores and factories Just as soon as they are old enough to leave home, and then when they get married they are like a ship lost at sea. They know nothing about cooking, are whol ly ignorant as to how to keep house, and finally awake to the sad realiza tion that they are totally incompetent as a wife. It doesn’t take a guesser to see the result. The home is soon dashed on the rocks and the husband goes to the bad. The next step is po lice coupt—the wife tells a pitiful story and the husband is placed on probation and forced to contribute to her support. Urges Law to Disqualify Unfit. "It is not always the woman who has worked out, either, who is undomestic. There are hundreds of girls who spend their time in idleness about the home and in the streets, and never stop run ning about long enough to take a little home training. The matrimonial re sult is just as bad in this case. Os course, if the husband is wealthy enough to employ servants —but then that's another story. All husbands are not able to indulge in this luxury. "From my extensive experience among wrecked homes. I have come to the conclusion that we must take dras tic steps to improve home conditions, I am heartily 'in favor of a law that will completely disqualify a woman for marriage who has not been fitted to properly care for a home and who is not willing to stay in the home anil look after it after she gets It. This same law should also apply tn men. disqualifying any man who has no po sition and is not financially able to support a wife properly. I am satisfied that until we adopt a law like this the grist for the divorce mills and the pro bation court will continue to increase with alarming rapidity.” 175 SUNDAY SCHOOLS TO OBSERVE “WHITE PLAGUE DAY’’SUNDAY Tuberculosis Prevention day" will be observed next Sunday tn 175 churches and Sunday schools of At lanta.

Allen's Ode to WomanMuffed.or — YE SCRIBE GETSAN ERROR Representative Allen, of Upson coun ty, is certainly disgusted and all but hopping mad at the way some of his best campaign thunder has been kicked around to his great disadvantage in this engine of uplift newspaperwise. Representative Allen made a fine speech on the floor of the house the other day, in which he went far out of his way to say nice and complimentary things about the bill which seeks to make women eligible to practice law in Georgia. The house was not considering that bill at the time—it was discussing the county prosecuting attorney bill—but Representative Allen didn’t care a hoot about that. The opening to unload an elegant line of talk about the fair sex evidently was too promising for a wise and circumspect legislator like Repre sentative Allen to overlook. Enter, the Villain! So Allen cut right into the argu ment. and before he resumed his seat he had clothed lovely femininity in all tike colors of the rainbow, set a diadem of glittering things upon her alabaster brow, beckoned her right up to the seats of the mighty, and handed her a diploma and a certificate of sweetness guaranteed under all the pure food and drug laws ever dreamed of. Then the villain came upon the scene, cleverly disguised as a newspaper re porter. The villain seized upon Repre sentative Allen’s kind words and mean ly, designedly, and with malice afore thought. set them down in his pa per-r-r that afternoon as the words of Representative Massengale, of War ren! Then, exit villain, gibbering in ghoulish glee! MRS. E. G. BALLENGER DEAD OF TYPHOID AT PRIVATE SANITARIUM Mrs. E. G. Ballenger, wife of Dr. E. G.

Mrs. Ballenger,, prior to her mar riage, was Miss Gorman, of Baltimore, a niece of Senator Gorman. Her ill ness came upon her while she was tak ing a recent trip to Atlantic Beach. Fla. It assumed no alarming propor tions until recently, however, and then the end came quite quickly. Mrs. Ballenger, socially and other wise. drew to her a large coterie of devoted friends. She is survived by her husband, two small children, her fa ther and several other relatives in Bal timore. No funeral arrangements have yet been made. ATLANTA CHURCH CALLS TENNESSEE MINISTER Rev.

Be sides, Massengale gets a wire from home asking him how about all that airy persiflage he had been handing out concerning the fair sex. and the idea of a man of his age talking that way, anyway! So Massengale got up in the house to a question of personal privilege, and read a good-natured but pos-l-tive riot act to ye villain (still cleverly disguised as a reporter) and said he didn't say all that about the women, although he didn't deny that much of it might be true and O. K. The “Some" Wrath of Allen. Then Allen came down front, right in the full glare of the footlights, and said that, despite the villain’s false whiskers and green goggles, he was dls-cov-ered, and curses be upon him also, for since the report went abroad that it was Massengale and not Allen who handed out all that elegant line of talk anent sweet femininity, Massen gale had been sent seven large bou quets, nine boxes of candy, twelve “mash notes.” three fascinating pho tographs, and eleven scarf pins! Wherefore. Allen declared that ther» isn't any use trying to put things over when villains cleverly disguised as newspaper reporters are rushing around seeking whom they might devour and bent upon handing the proceeds of hon est legislators’ pet bets to people not entitled to the same. Massengale sat right tight in his seat, and didn’t rise to any more poin s of offier. Somethin'- seemed to tickle him mightily, too, as he contemplated the ire and deep disgust of Allen, of Upson.
