The Government now admits that

non-Socialist unions which did lot
favor the Walkout, were forced out of
employment by the shutting down of
factories on account of the shortage
of fuel.
Paralysis of shipping at Antwerp is
threatened. Orders are being refused
by the great Cockerlll Iron and Ma
chine Works at Seraing. Members of
the Typographical Union have post
poned the date of their walkout until
to-morrow.
Violence Is reported from Clieratte,

9 large amount of property before
they wer* dispersed. Bands of strike
ruffians paraded through the Jema-

on him.
Zuber, with 60 days on the city'
worke given him by the Recorder as*
a result of his two offenses, was ar
raigned before Judge A. Calhoun iu
City Criminal Court on two charges
of assault and battery and was given
$150 tine or a year in each case.
“You ^eem to be out after a reputa

here, I would consider you a menude

The youth, still a little defiant in
his attitude, received the court’s
words calmly and intimated that he
would have to serve his time, as he
was without funds to pay the fine.
According to the testimony given at
the Recorder's court, Zuber, peeved
because Charles Promenenschkle. a
fan, did not move quickly enough
when the boy tried to climb through
the bleachers, struck him on the head
with a bottle, cutting him severely.
Women’s Help in Movement Is
Needed for Success, Declares
Prospective Board Member. '
L. C. Green, of the Fourth Ward,
who is expected to succeed T. L. Bond
as a member of the Park Board, to
day strongly advocated tfiore and bet
ter playgrounds for Atlanta children.
“I don’t know anything Atlanta
heeds worse than playgrounds and
more parks,’’ said Mr. Green. “If we
had more places for the children to
play and romp, I am sure the number
of people leaving the city in the sum
mer time would be greatly diminished
“We want to get the women started
in this movement, for they are the
ones most vitally interested. I think
a good plan would be to have the city
purchase suitable sites and then in a
large measure turn them over to the
women in the various wards to. be
beautified. Let each woman cionate a
tree, a rose bus'll or some flower to be
placed in the park, which would tend
to create a personal interest, and let
the cjty and the Park Board co-oper
ate with them in every possible way.
The Park Board could offer a cup or
some kind of trophy to be presented
to the ward making the greatest Im
provement in its park.
“We are rushing ahead In business,
putting up many handsome buildings
and leading the South in everything
except providing ample amusement
for the children of the city.”

Noble Brow, Broad Shoulders, 6
Feet High, and Sympathy
Are Qualifications.
Is there an “ideal man suffragist”
in Georgia?
If so, let him come forth and de
clare himself, or, if modesty pre
vents, let some one else do It for
him.
The pageant committee of the pa
rade and tableaux to be given by the
woman suffragists of the United
States in New York City, May 2. is
looking for fifty men who can qualify
i “ideal masculine suffragists.”
Qualifications' for the “Ideal man,”
as specified by the suffrage commit
tee, include:
A NOBLE BROW.
BROAD SHOULDERS.
FULL CHEST.
ERECT CARRIAGE.
MUST BE MORE THAN 6 FEET
IN HEIGHT.
MUST BE A BELIEVER IN
VOTES FOR WOMEN.”
The number to be selected—fifty
-gives at least one man from each
State a chance, but thus far none
has been suggested in Georgia, which
ranks third in population. There are
about 500,000 men in Illinois, of which
40,000 are in Chicago. Perhaps out
of that number may be found one
who will meet the requirements.
William J. Sehiefflin. of New York,
has been selected to head the band
bf “ideal men”. Beatrice Forbes-
Robert.«on-Hale will lead the mount
ed division of men suffragists not in.
eluded in the “ideal band.”
A type of feminine beauty to set
a new standard of American woman
hood, as exemplified by the equal suf
frage movement in this country, is
the chief aim of the parade and
tableaux. Qualifications for this
"ideal” type of womanhood include:
THE INTELLECTUALLY BEAU
TIFUL.
THE PHYSICALLY SPLENDID.
RADIANT WITH PERFECT
HEALTH.
TALL.
WILLOWY.
GRACEFUL.
Examples of feminine loveliness are
being sought throughout the United
States for the parade, to dispel the
idea that the modern-day suffragists
are of the plaster-haired “down-wlth-
the-men” variety.
Among the 2t)0 young women who
will exemplify the beautiful suffragist
will be Mrs. Lillian F. Brown, chair
man of the “Woman’s Journal” de
partment of the Illinois Equal Suf
frage Association, who will wear the
Illinois regalia. She will leave for
New York Friday.
Miss Sarah Truax and Mrs. David
Robinson, of New York, are two other
women who have been selected as
representative types of American
1 beauty tor iti* peeeant.

jA Small Dose on Retiring
and You Are Well and
Happy by Morning.
It is only natural that the sim
plest of ailments should be the
most general, and so we have a
whole nation suffering from con
stipation and indigestion,, for they
are closely allied. But common as
constipation is many people do not
seem to know they have it. They
will, complain of headache, drowsi
ness or biliousness, all unconscious
of the cause of the trouble.
You should have a full and free
movement at least once a day. If
you pass a day you are constipated,
and the result will be that you
will catch a cold easily or have a
more serious ailment. To cure the
constipation and forestall still
graver trouble take a dose of Dr.
Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin at night
before retiring and by morning re
lief will come, without disturbance
from sleep or any inconvenience.
Legions of people, use it regular
ly in such emergencies, some of
them formerly chronic invalids who
have suffered from constipation all
their lives. Mr. A. B. Danner, 326
Riley St., Harrisburg. Pa., says:
“Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin gave
me almost instant relief from stom
ach and bowel trouble. 1 now eat
anything I want and sleep well.”
Many others will tell you that they
have tried most things recommend
ed for this purpose but have found
Syrup Pepsin the only one always
reliable. A bottle can be obtained
at any drug store for fifty cents
or one dollar, the latter size being
MR. A. B. DANNER.
bought byvfamilies already familiar
with its merits.
Syrup Pepsin is mild, pleasant-
tasting arud non-griping. Mothers
give it to tiny infants, and yet it
is effective in grownups. It is for
everyone who suffers from any
form of stamach, liver or bowel
trouble, comstipation, . dyspepsia,
biliousness, etc. Its action will so
delight you that you will fdrever
avoid harsh cathartics, purgatives,
pills and salts.
If no member of your family has
ever used Syrup Pepsin and you
would like to make a personal trial
of it bef<j(re buying it in the regu
lar way of a druggist, send your
address—a postal will do—to Dr.
W. IL Caldwell, 417 Washington
St., Moutioello, Ill., and a free sam
ple bottle/will be mailed you.
Old Macon ‘Mammy’
Seeks Aged Mother
Hunts Parent From Whom She Was
Separated at Richmond in
Slave Time.
RICHMOND, VA., April 18.—There
is an old negro “mammy” down in
Macon, Ga., who evidently believes
that she comes of long-lived stock,
for she has written to Police Chief
Werner, of this city, trying to locate
her own “mammy,” although she has
been separated from her for three
score years. Her letter, interpreted
into correct English, is as follows:
“To the Most Honorable Chief of Po
lice of Richmond, Va.
‘Pear Kind Sir: This will inform
you that I left Richmond 61 years
ago and have been here ever since.
When 1 was sold in Virginia and
sent to Georgia, my name was Marie
Northern. My mother’s name was
Isabelle Northern and her owner was
Mrs. Nancy Northern. If you can
find my mother or my old mistress,
please write me their number and
names so that T can write to them.
Many thanks and oblige,
Respectfully,
