made The vast amount of work that
formerly devolved on the president
and a few others is divided among
the twelve district president*, each

to realize ami appreciate the eff* ctivc-
ness of district organisation two year?
ago when it? brilliant and efficient

the new s of this resignation came the
Federation felt that it was in a most
deplorable state, and it was. but the

becoming very effective, took up the
education work and they have ac
complished magnificent results.

WOMAN’S (LIB TO CAM
PAIGN FOR SCHOOL
HYGIENE.
Upon the invitation of the execu
tive committee organizing the fourth
International < ’orgress on School
Hygiene, the General Federation of
Women’s Clubs, under the presidency
of Mrs. Percy V. Pennybacker, is
making plans to take 'part hi the
most elaborate effort that has y>-t
been made In this country toward
getting school hygiene before the
world. The forthcoming congress,
the first to be hold in this country,
will meet in Buffalo the last week in
A ugust.
Letters are now being sent to the
various club presidents and State
chairmen by Mrs. S. S. Crockett, na
tional chairman of the Public Health
Department, requesting the active co
operation of the 7,000 individual clubs
of America in an energetic campaign,
which has for its purpose the sending
of delegates to the Buffalo congress
from all the leading cities, towns and
villages ot this country.
In h**r letter Mrs. Crockett makes
an urgent request that each indi
vidual club send a delegate to the
congress, and. in addition, secure the
appointment of delegates from all ot
the following agencies: Local clubs,
the Mayor. School Boards. Board of
Health, superintendent of schools, j
School improvement Association.
Mothers’ Congress, Parent-Teachers!
Association, Charity Organization
Society, Tuberculosis League, Visit
ing Nurses’ Association, health or
sanitary committee of the Board of
Trade, homes, orphanages, etc.
In addition, the individual clubs
are urged to use their influence with
the Governors of their States with a
view of calling public attention to
the serious importance of the forth
coming congress.
The congress will be held under
the patronage of President Wilson,
and under the presidency of Charles
XV. Eliot, of Harvard University. The
secretary general is Thomas A.
Htorey. College of the City of New
York.
Among the Atlanta women to co
operate with Mrs. Pennybacker, pres
ident of the general federation, will
be the presidents of the various clubs
of Atlanta, including Mrs. A. P. Coles,
president of the Atlanta Woman’s
Club; Mrs. Charles J Ha den, presi
dent of the City Federation, and
others.
WEDNESDAY MORNING
STUDY CLUB.
The Wednesday Morning Study
Claw, consisting of a congenial circle
of 25 ladies, was organized six years
ago. For five years the class studied
history, and the reviews were very
enjoyable.
Last year the class decided that a
study of nature would be a refreshing
diversion, and the program committee
outlined a charming course in nature
studies. But nattfTe's field is so vast
and even a cursory glance at plant,
inject and bird life Is so marvelous
that one year’s study only gave a
glimpse into her enchanting realms.
So the club enthusiastically continues
this line of study in the next year.
The biography relative to this study
is in itself interesting and stimulates
a more intimate knowledge of the
lives and work of such men as Bur
roughs. Audubon, Burbank and Maet-
teriinck.
A discussion of current topics has
always been a feature of the program.
In this outlook upon the world’s
events—history in the making, in the
contemplation of flower and bee, na
ture's storehouses and barns, her ma
sons and architects, her orchestra and
instruments, in considering the work
of Agassiz, Maury and Pinchot—the
programs are refreshing.
A glance at the personnel of the
class shows many of the mo?t ear
nest workers of the city in every line
of social service and civic betterment.
The crub is federated with city and
State and contributes to the Platt
Decker memorial fund, the Tallulah
Falls School, the Mineral Bluff Sohoo;
the Students' Aid fund, the Anti-Tu
berculosis League, the Ella White
memorial and other club enterprises.
The membership is as follows: Mrs.
W. A. Albtight. Mrs. XV. A. Byers.
Mrs. Emmett Brogdon. Mrs. Karl Brit
tain. .Mrs. J. E. Camp. Mrs. Howard
Crumley, Mrs. Marvin Davies. Mrs.

DIAMONDS
Economically Handled
We have made it a point to acquaint ourselves with
every detail in the handling of diamonds, from the time
they are mined until they go into possession of the indi
vidual. Information thus gained has enabled us to lop
many of the expenses connected therewith. Me do not,
therefore, believe that there is any one that can offer
greater values for the money.
We exercise unusually careful attention in the selec
tion of our stock, in addition to buying in quantities,
and, as a consequence, get them much below what they
would cost us were we to buy in smaller lots.
In addition to these reasons there are many minor
ones to bear out our contention that no better values
are to be had than here.
For those who do not wish to go into ready cash or
disturb other investments, we are glad to extend our
partial payment plan whereby a small amount of cash
can be paid at the time of purchase, and the remainder
extended over a number of months best suited to the
customer.
