Chamberliip Jolinson=Dußose Co. ATLANTA NEW YORK PARIS A Store Full of STANDArF Merchandise It is not of so much interest that this store is filled with merchandise. Mere quantity does not count for much. Any store with equal cash or credit could buy as much. What does count is the quality, the standard grade and the style of merchandise here. It takes more than cash or credit can give to fill a store with such merchandise as this one is filled with. It takes knowledge and experience and hard work and a wonderfully developed bump of dis crimination. But it is all worth while—-every extra effort that brings down a price, or that shoves quality up a notch and leaves the price alone—for it is appreciated. The crowds that are coming these days are finding what they want and what the fashions dictate. Come and look about you. Stroll through the different departments. Try our claims out, satisfy yourself. Yes, satisfy yourself; that is the only claim we have to your patronage, and we willingly leave it at that—that these big, gener ous, wholesome stocks are the worthy merchan dise that the women of Atlanta want. The Glorious Silks In the days when none but royalty was allowed to wear silks, queens never had such gorgeous and glorious silks as YOU may have this season.. And all the wealth ot this season's weaving and dyeing is here! It is a display of silks that sets a new mark for Atlanta; a display that would be interesting if only its impersonal, ar tistic merits were to be considered, if you viewed it only as an exhibition ot wonderful colorings and intricate, fascinating patterns---but it has a very personal meaning to the women of Atlanta---it means charming street dresses, lovely afternoon I rocks and beautiful evening gowns---the most charming, the most lovely and the most beautiful the feminine mind could conjure up. By name, these silks are plain charmeuses in black and white and colors, brocaded charmeuses, satin crepe meteors, crepe de chines, uncut velvets and corded silks that change their colors as the light plays on themjehiffon velvets,embossed velvets, silk plushes and velveteens.

Despite the fact that Professor Lang ston has declined positively to contest Governor Brown’s state board of edu cation appointees, and that Professor Pound has indicated no disposition to pursue the matter further, there is a well defined and apparently authenti cated rumor abroad that the titles of Professor Moon and Professor Glenn will be questioned in the courts. A well known Atlanta attorney, said to be close to Senator Hoke Smith, is reported to have interested himself in the matter and to have caused to be made recently a quiet investigation of certain records at the eapitol that might have a bearing on the case, witli a \ iew to attacking the commis sions of Glenn and Moon. Whether Professor Pound will be made a party to this nev; attack is not certain, but it is sure that Professor Langston will not. If the newly rumored attack upon Moon and Glenn does materialize, it will be taken by many to mean that there is much more than mere faction al Hoke Smith and "Little Joe" politics bMtind the movement, and that some thing else than the question of whether Smith's or Brown's appointments shall stand is involved.
