The fleet assembled in New York I harbor is the largest ever gathered at I one place, and It is principally because |of this fact Brunswick wishes the fleet i to pay a visit to Its harbo r . The Brunswick harbor is one of the finest in the world, and many engineers have pronounced it the best on the At lantic coast.

Chamberlin=Johnson=Dußose Company Atlanta New York Paris The Richness of the Trimmings You Will Find Here It seems that there must be trimmings on everything this fall such richness of colors and patterns have never been known before. Paris, of course, started it—and Paris is where we went for these trimmings. So there is no difference between what Paris is using and what you may use. I hose dull gold effects and silver effects that Paris is ex claiming over are here—and the Bohemian embroideries, marvel ous combinations of colors, that Paris borrowed from the East and is now exploiting at every opportunity, are here. But it is hardly fair to name these without mentioning also the others that share the honors of this season of trimmings. Besides the gold and silver and Bohemian bands, flounces and allovers— Here are the crystal bands, fringes and edges-—the crystal with rhinestone, bands, fringes and edges. The pearl trimmings that brides will want, the exquisite and dainty garnitures that look more like jewels than trimmings-—novel little drops of pearl with rhinestones, and bands and fringes, and the very, very popular buckles that play an important part in this sea son’s fashions; they are used as the center for the draping of skirts. The new jets are here, very prominently here, since black looms so large among the silks and velvets right now. The gold and the silver nets are charming as they are used with the new fashions—just a touch at the yoke of dresses that show the Robespierre collar and the “dug out” neck. And the Tunics A display that truly represents the fashions of the moment, for Paris has declared them as a mark of elegance and of—complete ness. There is one after another that you will want for your own—each with its own charm that seems all but irresistible. One of notable elegance is of black net bordered with coffee colored lace and set off with amber iridescents. Another is of black net with soft old blue beads worked into an elaborate pattern. An other shows Oriental beads, another a rose pattern filled in with che nille embroidery and silver. Then there are those of cream with gold, of pink and light blue and amber, with pearls and crystals and glistening rhinestones. T'he tunics are worth seeing—and we will be glad to have you take these days as show days. The Bazaar ==and the October Brides Here in the Bazaar are the gifts for her! The things she will find joy in, tor every piece of silver, crystal, china, every lamp, every piece of marble here is here because of its own attractiveness,its own worth - Good taste marks this department—marks it not only in regard to the more costly art objects but also in regard to the small est and the least expensive pieces. So, with the October bride in mind come to the Bazaar, and look about you at the hundreds of choice gifts. See the Sheffield Plate that is coming into renewed prominence; seethe odd china pieces, the little flower baskets, the fruit dishes; and the platters; visit the crystal room radiant with truest cut glass, with wine, tea and water services: visit the Oriental room where there are artistic lamps and shadesand odd wares and odd pieces that many a bride would be proud to own.

MEN AND RELIGION BULLETIN NO. 24 “The Churches In Our Midst” No Power Can Break the Union of THE Churches of Christ in Atlanta The Association of Evangelical Ministers met Monday. More than seventy-five ministers and pastors were present. With only one dissenting vote, the following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, a recently published bulletin of the force in their noble determination to carry out Men and Religion Forward Movement has been their oath of office and execute the laws of the construed, and has been employed shrewdly by city and the state one of the candidates for Mayor, so as to be made Third, That we express respectfully, but with to appear to favor the election of this candidate, conviction, that the election of any candidate for and to represent the religious and moral forces Mayor who avows his lack of sympathy with the of the city as purposely unfriendly to the candi- honorable and conscientious course of Chief dacy of his opponent; and, Beavers, or whose personal record as a man while Whereas, we are assured by the executive public office was scandalous and immoral and committee of the Men and Religion Movement whose career has identified him as a sympa- that this construction of this bulletin and this thizer with the forces of evil in our city, would use of it has done them and the cause they rep- dangerously threaten all our efforts to rid At- resent a grave injustice and that these bulletins lanta of vice and lawlessness. avowedly have no purpose to favor either can- Fourth, That we submit our strong conviction didate for Mayor; and, that a candidate for Mayor who seeks the sup- Whereas, in behalf of the Churches and the port of Christian citizens as the representative Christian citizenship of Atlanta we feel that the c,ty s rn ? ra * welfare, should bravely avow impression gone abroad entirely misrepresents .2 determination not only in general, but spe the Christian sentiment of the community and cifically to hold up the hands of Chief Beavers should be corrected very positively; therefore, and every officer of the law who, according to his be it solemn oath of office, is engaged in executing the e: * tl-* . m . n laws and ordinances which he has sworn to exe- n f ? ersan r d astors cute fearlessly and without mental reservation we should not become involved in controversies o f any kj nc ( between candidates for political office unless the Fifth Th»t ...... . itude to and confidence in its leaders for the Second, That our chief concern in the present great work achieved, and in the great work still situation in Atlanta is to conserve the results to be achieved in Atlanta through this move- of good to our city which have come through the ment, and herewith pledge to them all the in suppression of “The Houses in Our Midst" and fluence we can command for their plans and to sustain Chief James L. Beavers and the police policies for the salvation of the soul of our city. This Executive Committee disclaims any intention of attacking Mr. Chambers personally or impugning his motives. He is entitled to his convictions. Neither the Churches, nor their Committee, desire to dictate to him. Mr. Chambers has misunderstood. This Committee's views of handling the Social Evil are not involved, though we can not believe that Mr. Chambers would approve of city officials protecting the buying and selling of girls in Atlanta. The method of dealing with this evil is not open to question. If the present method be wrong, Council can change it. But so long as it is embodied in the ordinances of the City of Atlanta, the Chief of Police and the City Officials have no alternative. If they keep their oaths, they must do as Chief Beavers has done. Notwithstanding, they who do so run the risk of losing their office. A man must choose between honor and danger, on the one hand, and dis honor and safety on the other. Chief Beavers has chosen honor. This Committee, acting for the Churches of Atlanta, for months directed the blaze of publicity upon these ordinances and the Chief of Police, demanding as citi zens and in the name of God that he cease violating his oath and do his duty as an officer and a man. The State laws are cumbersome and ineffective with their jury systems. The ordinances are simple and effective. Protected vice can not exist thirty-six hours in Atlanta with an honest Chief of Police. The Chief saw this and rightfully, without consultation with or the knowledge of this Committee, or any member of it, determined to comply with his conscience, the law and the wishes of Atlanta’s Churches. Mr. Chambers understands and shares a principle common to Jew, Christian, Mohammedan, Bhuddist and Shintoist—that principle which requires a man to sacri fice even life itself in protecting one who has imperilled himself at the man's request, This Committee, Mr. Chambers and the City of Atlanta recognize that Chief Beavers has done this at the request of “The Churches in Our Midst.’’ They further know that the Chief is perfectly safe so long as each candidate for office is asked to answer publicly the question, “Will you, if elected to office, protect and uphold Chief Beavers in enforcing the Ordinances of the City of Atlanta in obedience to his oath of Office?’’ If the question be foolish. Mr. Chambers should bear with those who ask it and answer it with a “Yes” or “No.’’ For many respectable men feel that they can not honorably vote in the coming primary for either candidate who declines to answer the question with the one word “YES.’’ Mr. Chambers will also agree with this Committee that if in Atlanta “De cency means that a candidate for office can not openly approve the action of an of ficer who, in compliance with the request of our Churches, keeps his oath and puts an end to the illegal protection by city officials of a traffic which can exist only by the betrayal and debauchery of women and girls, many men can not support “decency.” We, therefore, respectfully ask that Mr. Chambers answer the question of the Churches in our Midst. Atlanta should and will support true decency and none other. To save personalities, the Committee states, in view of the mention in the newspapers of the possibility of an independent candidate, that under no circum stances would a member of this Committee be a candidate for the position. Nor do we believe that the necessity for an independent candidate will arise. We are not in politics. Again, we ask, neither in a spirit of dictation nor with a desire to annoy, “Will Mr. Chambers, if elected, protect and uphold Chief Beavers in enforcing the Ordi nances of the City of Atlanta in obedience to his oath of office?’ ' More than seventy-five ministers of Atlanta desire to know.
