With lather thick on his face and without waiting for a coat, the fireman manned his wagon and dashed down Peachtree street. The wind from around the Candler bulbing. accentuated by the speed of the fly ing engine, whipped up the lather to the point of covering all but the fireman's eyes and an Iron gray mustache. Still Hudson did not flinch. " hen the chemical engine came to a stop, the fire was practically out. and Fireman Hudson began to take an in ventory of himself. He found that not a bit of lather had been lost, so he donned a rubber coat, pulled up the collar, anil went hack to the tire house to finish his shave ♦ NATIONAL GUARD OFFICERS TO DISCUSS STRIKE DUTIES MACON.

Miss Josephine Windle on Spir ited Steed Takes Hurdles Which Worry Army Riders. The vaunted horsemanship of the South is a myth. If it ever existed, it has disappeared from the land like the custom of giving up seats in street cars, if the cavaliers of the Old South, who rode to the hounds each morning as regularly as they consumed their matin toddy, were to return to earth and view the equestrian performances of their descendants they would be willing and eager to return to the cold, cold ground and try to forget. This is the opinion of Miss Josephine A tSMMfejwkv . 1 .... ~ >.« f / f 11 \\ indie, of Atlanta, but until a few months ago of England. She’s but eighteen years old, but she knows all about horses and horsewomanship, for she was praeticaily born in the saddle. Miss Windle has startled the experts of tile Piedmont Driving club and the army circle at Fort McPherson with the daring and grace of her feats of horsewomanship. It is freely predicted in these circles that at the horse shows of the South next year Miss Mary All good Jones, of Atlanta, will find a dan gerous rival in tiiis little English miss. On her favorite mount, a spirited, willful little mare called "Red Girl,” she has taken hurdles at Fort McPher son at which even tlie most skillful and daring of the officer riders look twice. And she sees nothing remarkable in her accomplishment. "Why. in England, all the girls ride to hounds." she said. "It is our fa vorite pastime. Naturally we become at home in the saddle. I can not un derstand why so few girls here ride. It is one of the few sports where wom en can compete on an equal basis with the men. and the country is ideal for cross-country riding." Continuing with little more than a suggestion of English accent. Miss Windle said: ‘And the men ride so miserably. 1 have seen tlie fewest number who can ride at all. I'hosc who do seem to take it as a task and not as n pleasure. No wonder more of them do not take it up, if all they have to judge from is the men "ho do hav, horses.” Miss Windle is preparing to appear at several of the Southern horse allows next season, and in the meantime hopes to stimulate intend in horses among in i associates Ip Atlanta FORMER SUITOR -LEAVES SCRUBWOMAN FORTUNE • Ort 18.

MonL GIRLS IN NIGHT SCHOOL NEED SID Fund to Provide Suppers for Poor Students Is Sought by Clubwomen. Extension of the work of the Girls Night school and the tremendous increase In attendance has brought the philan thropic workers in charge of the institu tion face to face W’ith the food problem and incidentally the high cost of living. Two years ago when the school was founded the managers at once saw that it would be necessary to furnish supper for the students. A fund was raised to supplement the appropriation of the hoard of education and through the medium of the Y. W. C. A. a meal, cost ing 10 cents, was served each girl for 2 cents. This year, however, there are 115 girls enrolled Each night at least 50 get their suppers at the school. Separate meals are served for the foreign girls on ac count of their religious scruples and the large increase has drained the fund. A committee headed by Max Kutz and Charles T. Nunnally has been named to take charge of the raising of this fund, with the aststance of the Woman’s club and contributions are being sought. Work in the school is being extended. Tlie girls not only are being taught the rudiments of education, but are given les sons in home nursing, hygiene, etc FREE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LECTURE AT THE LYRIC Judge Clifford P. Smith, c. S.

WHITEHALL STREET INSANITY 15 PLEA IN‘RIPPER’ TRIAL Attorneys for Negro Declare He Confessed to Slaying Wo man to Gain Notoriety. "We are going to show this court that this negro is insane on the subject of notoriety; that he becomes hysterical when he gets excited, assumes an air of braggadocio and confesses to things he never did.” said Judge Willingham, attorney for Lawton Brown, a mulatto, arraigned before Judge Roan in su perior court, charged with the ".Fack the Ripper" murders. In outlining his defense to the jury, the prisoner's lawyer intimated that Brown confessed to crimes he had never heard of until sweated at police headquarters. He asserted he would show the court that the police confes sions, which detectives say Include ad missions to several of the "Jack the Rippqr” crimes, merely were hallucina tions obtained under the pressing of the police "third degree." Brown was brought to trial today, charged with the murder of Eva Barnes, alias Eva Green, who was found with her throat cut in the Pitts burg section several months ago. Chief of Detectives Lanford and Officers Co ker and McGill asserted that Brown confessed not only to the killing of the Barnes woman, but admitted havins/ iiad a hand in several other of the uni solved "Jack the Ripper” crimes. One witness, a cousin of the prfa. oner, would have had the court be lieve that Brown was chained tft a chair at police headquarters when, the confession was forced from him t<y the officers. 3
