COLLEGE GIRLS AID IN
RED CROSS SEAL WAR
ON THE WHITE PLAGUE
Before the drab doorway of a down
town office building a young woman,
smartly attired, with a glow of health
in her cheek and a deal of elasticity in
her step, alighted from an electric
brougham drawn close to the curb this
morning.
In her gray-gloved hand, half hid
den by. films of lace that fell on her
fingers, she carried numerous sheets of
stickers looking for all the world like
exotic, foreign stamps.
Against the crowd that came stream
ing through tlie doorways she took
her hand, stemming perceptibly the
rush that went on around her. The
sheets of stamps she fluttered in her
fingers were Red Gross stamps, and
she purposed to sell them to every
passerby as Christmas seals, so that
the nation-wide fight against the
"white plague” could go on.
She's Pleading For Lives.
It was hers to plead with the hurry
ing, indifferent crowd that went cease
lessly in and out, to spare life; to give
just a fighting chance to those who
must battle witli the terror always;
children of slums who breathe only
feti’d air in the hovels they call homes
and those that bend, it seems forever,
over whirring machines.
"Each stamp may mean a life.” she
said beseechingly holding forth the
sheets of the little red and green stick
ers, as if by the gesture to emphasize
the great import of her mission.
And site spoke meaningly, for it is
true that each little fluttering sheet of
stamps site displayed may mean a life.
It may mean the life of the child, a
pale-faced little girl ready to go down
in the hopeless fight for air and food
and sunshine.
The crowd passed her after the
divers ways of humanity. Some went
by grimly, some indifferently, some
turned a quick, curious head and hur
ried on, but a few smiled, stopped and
gathered up a sheet of stamps.
Yearly Toll Here Hundreds.
"You really don't know what it all
means,” said the young woman to a
brisk, well dressed business man who
stopped long enough to demand his
quota of stickers and bolted.
“Some time 1 will tell you all about
it,” she called after him.
And she was willing to tell of the
work to those who would listen. Her
story was simple and direct, but it told
of suffering beyond the ken of half the
crowd that bought her wares. Its end
ing most always was death.
Committees of young women from
the Washington seminary had charge
of the lobbies in tlie Third National,
Fourth National, Lowrs National and
Atlanta National banks today, and it
was seldom that a depositor got by
them without making a purchase of
Red Cross seals
The college girls entered into tlie
• campaign with enthusiasm and went
after results. They got tnem, too
Bank depositors were halted right and
left, coming and going, and just, could
1 not resist, through purchase of the
’ seals, making their contribution to the
; anti-tuberculosis fund.
Young women from the seminary in
automobiles also spent the day in dis
tributing advertising matter and Red
Cross seals in all the drug stores in and
' around Atlanta'.
i Among those participating in the
day's campaign, which was in charge
of Mis. J. Wade Conkling, of the’Anti-
Tuberculosis association, were Misses
Helen Douglas, Louise Santell, Mar
! garet Frazier, Frankie and Verner Me
' Kee, Martha Whidden, Rachael Beck,
Mary and Adelaide Carmly and many
1 others.
Reports from all the committees en
' gaged in the work, made at headquar
’ ters today, showed gratifying results,
and Mrs. F. G. Hodgson, Atlanta chair
man, feels confident they will have no
trouble in disposing of the entire 500,-
000 Red Cross seals allotted to Atlanta.
Plague Claims Hundreds.
1 In Atlanta, yearly tn the slums of
the city and in the squalid mill sec
tions hundreds of persons die of the
“white plague.” More than three-quar
ters of them are little children who
never really had a chance at life. They
were doomed at birth and the plague
marked them for its own at the horn
ing.
In the slums they know the alleys
better than the streets, and in the mill
' sections they know the hum of the
machine better than most children
know the runes of the fairies. Frail
little bodies at the best, underfed, illy
clothed, reared in fetid rooms, in chok
ing factories and filthy streets, they
go as poverty's yearly toll, and more
as tlie price of indifference.
It is to' stop all this, or at least
check it, that the smartly dressed young
woman and many of her kind stand in
the doorways of downtown office build
ings now and bid the passers to buy the
Red Cross stamps.
In Atlanta this season Red Cross
stamps will be used more extensively
i than usual, and the women hope the
; time may come when no other Christ
mas seal will be seen.
Headquarters Opened.
With R. G. Brusch as business man-
■ ager, the Atlanta. Red Cross seal com-
■ mittee has opened permanent head
quarters on the eighth floor of the
■ Hillyer building in Peachtree street
and the sale of als will continue until
Christmas. x
i The working committees are to he
■ in charge of well known Atlanta socle
, ty women, and the actual sale of stamps
I will be handled by the following:
Mis. S. T. Barnett, fertilizer and
packing companies.

MERCHANTS HUR
OHDNUIILE
Marietta Streeters Appeal to
Mayor to Remedy Condition
of Miry Thoroughfare.
Following an indignation meeting of
the merchants and property owners on
Marietta street, a committee called on
Mayor V\ inn today to urge that some
thing be done Immediately to relieve
the citizens of the nuisance caused by
the terrible condition of that street.
The merchants declared at the meet
ing that the mud in the street had
blocked customers from entering their
stores. The work of widening and re
paving this street has been under way
for many months and the citizens have
borne patiently the Inconvenience un
til the street and sidewalks have be
come absolutely impassable.
Street Railway Delays Work.
T. D. Meador, the contractor, told the
meeting that he had $5,000 worth of
material on the grounds and that he
was losing money every day that he
was kept from proceeding with the
paving work. He said Chief of Con
struction Clayton told him that the
Georgia Railway and Power Company
was delaying the work on account of
the readjustment of its tracks and con
duits.
Dr. R. W. Weaver and F. J. Chappe
lear composed the committee that call
ed on Mayor Winn. Mayor Winn took
the matter up with chief of Construc
tion Clayton and the county commis
sioners arid Preston Arkwright, presi
dent of tlie Georgia Railway and Pow
er Company, in an effort to hasten re
lief to the Marietta street citizens.
Planning relief from the congested
traffic on Peachtree street, the West
Peachtree Improvement club met last
night at the Piedmont hotel and adopt
ed a petition which will be submitted to
the new council urging that the West
Peachtree street grade he raJsed anil
a smooth pavement put down.
Judge Atkinson Leads Move.
The paving on this street is rough
cobble stgnes and has been down for
years. On account of the steep grades
on the street most of the traffic is
forced into Peachtree street.
The petition for this work will be
signed by several hundred citizens and
property owners.
At the meeting last night Judge Spen
cer Atkinson was made permanent
chairman of the club and Dr. William
Owens, secretary. Among those who
spoke of the great need of this im
provement were Dr. J. C. Peck, W. R.
Coleman, Louis Gholstin, Harry L.
Schlesinger and Dr. W. C. Hardin.
The club will hold other meetings be
tween now and'the making up of the
1913 city budget. The county commis
sioners will be urged to co-operate in
this work.
