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. f Mrs. Cam Dorsey, department and clothing stoics. z Mi? T U. >■ i- and Mrs Elizabeth 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. BUTTS COUNTY REALTY BRINGS $47 PER ACRE JACKSON. GA..
