The Northern woman knows more textbook definitions but the Southern woman knows more things. The two types have the same ideals with different ways of reaching them. Untried Material Makes Up the Greater Part of This Year’s General Assembly. PROMINENT FIGURES GONE Joe Hill Hall and Hooper Alex ander Will Be Missing When Body Convenes, By JAMES B. NEVIN. The Legislature that assembles in Jfctlanta in June will bring Into no tice in Georgia an entirely new let rt. leaders of public thought and opin ion. Very few of those members who dominated the last General Assem bly were returned to the new. Eighty per cent of the new House either is untried legislative material, or from the ranks of that used two, three and four legislatures back. Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb, for years the most commanding figure in the House, will not sit in the next one. and neither will Hooper Alexander, of DeKalb, for half a dozen Legislature? a leader of repute and force. Besides these two familiar faces, '.her will be missing John N. Holder, of Jackson, Walter McElreath and George Brown, of Fulton, Mack John- on, of Bartow, Emmett Cabaniss, of Oglethorpe, Carl Vinson, of Baldwin, \ Lawrence, of Chatham, Byron I? v. r. of Decatur, and J. A. Ault, Polk. All of these men played con- : on • parts in the last House. Beyond Burwell, of Hancock, Full- bright, of Burke, Hardeman, of Jef ferson, and one or two others who took an active and aggressive inter est in legislation last summer, there are few of the “old guard” left to “keep the lid on” in the next. Strong Men Not Lacking. White all of the foregoing is true, however, it does not follow' that the incoming House of Representatives will lack for strong men. On the contrary, the shifted lead ership will be found to have landed in capable hands. The veterans of the last House will be succeeded oy strong men in the next, even- if they are in a measure untried in legisla tive ways. In the next house will be found such men of mark as Slater, of Bryan. Slater served a term once as Senator, ajid will take immediately a high stand in the next House. He is a fine floor debater, and a hard worker in committee. Grover Edmondson, of Brooks, who likely will be the “baby” of the new House, is sure to be a live wire there in. He is only 22, but as he was ad mitted to the practice of law at thi very early age of 17, and has grown to be one of South Georgia's most progressive young men, his standing seems a foregone conclusion. He will urge, among other important things, the calling of a constitutional con vention for the revision of the State's fundamental law. Barry Wright, who will represent Floyd in the new' House, Is a son of Seaborn Wright, father of much re form legislation in Georgia. Young Mr. Wright served a term in the ftouse several years ago, and made a fine reputation for hard work and fighting ability then. He is loaded with a number of propositions calcu lated to create a stir. The “talkingeet” member of the new House likely will be H. B. Moore, oV Cobb. He, like Wright, of Floyd, has served one term, and during that time is said to have made more speeches on the floor than any other five members put together. He is something of an orator, and has ideas upon all sorts of subjects. Gower Will Show Strength. O. Y. Gower, of Crisp, who cornea to the Capitol for a second term, is the father of the present insurance legislation, recognized as among the finest work of the last House. He already has won his spurs and will play a i.;.rre part in forthcoming con structive legislation. C. M. Methvin, of Dodge, is one of the best known newspaper men in Georgia. He is the president of he Georgia Weekly Press Association, and will wield an influence in the House that is certain to be wide and result getting. Personally he Is very popular throughout the State. Shelby My rick, of Chatham, son of the late Bascombe and Louise My- rick, of Americus, will come to the House with all the political prestige of his father and mother's name, and a fine reputation as an attorney in Savannah. This young man's friends are predicting great things for him. joe McCarthy, of Chatham, comes bijr'K.

If you're waking, call me early, call me early mother dear. The Twelfth will be the happiest day of all this happy year. For on that day the beauty, fashion, wealth and woman-charms. Will hold in thrall Atlanta, for the Tag of Sheltering Arms. Monday the twelfth of May has been selected as Tag Day. Tag Day means to Atlanta what any wonderful festival of roses, or carnival of masks, or gala occasion means to the other countries. It be comes a holiday for everybody. Young and old play at Tag, and no one has the nerve to walk along the thorough fares of the city w ithout a tag, or two or perhaps twenty tags. Many men who have some sweetheart buys tags by the dozens, and others more con servative give the same amount and get one tag w hich is sufficient for Tag Day. For four years the Sheltering Arms women have had the exclusive right to Tag. and a a this is the only way a demand is ever made upon the Mrs. John M. Slaton, wiO of Governor-elect Slaton. Sisterhood of Women of United States Point That Both Emphasize and Agree Upon. W HAT difference is there in the ideals of the Northern and the Southern woman? A discussion about, this interest ing question arose recently at a meeting of a local woman’s club. The Sunday American sought to find the answer. A telegram was sent to Mrs. Champ Clark at Washington, asking her views. Mrs. Clark, wife of the Speaker of the House, is a womau whose position in the society of Washington for years has brought her into personal contact, and has led to her intimacy, with women of every section. By birth and domicile she is neither of the extreme South nor of the North, being a native Kentuckian and a present resident of Missouri what time she is not in Wash ington. She is qualified to speak. Mrs. John M. Slaton, wife of the Governor-elect of Georgia, was interviewed on the question. Mrs. Slaton has traveled ex tensively, and has enjoyed the friendship and companionship of many women of the North. A leader in the social affairs of her native State, she knows Southern women. Her opinion was re quested as that of a woman of fairness, of keen analytical judg ment, and of knowledge of human nature. She, also, is qualified to speak. The opinions of these two interesting women are given in the following articles: CLIMA TIC DIFFERENCES CHANGE CHARACTERISTICS Mrs. Champ Clark at her writing desk with her daughter, Genevieve. Women South and their sisters North are different, truly, thinks Mrs. John M. Slaton. The differences, however, are not of heart nor of char acter, but of habit and environment. “The climate's the reason,” Mrs Slaton smiled. “The differences, I should say, are climatic.” Early in life, she thinks, the differ ence is easily marked. “There is a glamour of romance about the life which the Southern girl sees ahead of her,” she related, “which her more literal Northern sister do^s not behold. “The Southern girl would be the lifelong sweetheart of the man she marries. The Northern girl would be the comrade, the good fellow. There you have an index to the difference between the woman North and the woman South. “The women of the North are not cold, and not formal, as persons in the South probably have heard. The dif ference between women of the South and of the North is not one of the heart. The Northern woman is mere ly less responsive to sentimental ap peal, and more matter-of-fact. “The difference, again, I think, »s one of climate and of environment; don't you?” This very gracious flrst-lady-of- Georgia-to-be smiled the question at her interviewer. In ?uch a case there was nothing to do but to agree. Be sides, it was so, he thought. “Don’t think." she continued, “from all this that the woman of the North has fewer ideals. At the risk of be coming monotonous, I would say again that the difference is one of climate, and not of heart.” Mrs. Slaton Analytical. Mrs. Slaton was seriously analyti- 1 cal and thoughtful. She talked with her eyes studious and with her finger marking hef* arguments, as she ran over the points of difference between her acquaintances North and South. None of her comparisons even bor dered on the invidious. None of the difference which she enumerated were derogatory to the one or the other. Women, individually, are Mrs. Sla ton’s friends; women, genetically, are* firmly bound by custom. Prece dent means much more to her than to her Southern sister. “This would seem to make out the Southern woman the more Original, wouldn’t it? Well, maybe that is so.” Mrs. Slaton pondered a thoughtful moment over the question whether women North or women South most readily affected fads and fashions. ‘We are not confronted with the changing fads and fashions so much down here as are the women of the North,'' she said. “If they affect more readily the new things, it is not be cause they are more susceptible, prob ably. as because the new things are more insistent in their appeal in the North. They don’t strike us with so much force down here." Summarizes Ideas. Then Mrs. Slaton began to sum marize her ideas. "There is not much difference in the final analysis,” she said. “Neither the one or the other is the more lovable; neither the one or the other is the more gracious; neither the one or the other is the more hospitable. This quality of hos pitality exists In the North as well as with the Southerners. Nothing is nwe delightful than the reception which is accorded visitors in the North. "Differences between tlie women North and the women South, then, are not of degree or kind, but of en vironment and habit, and of climate. They are sisters.” Mrs. Slaton at first was a little in clined not to talk about the difference between the women of the two sec tions. Then she acceded with the graciousness of hers that has made her the most loved woman In Geor gia, and talked of women North and women South—both her friends. Af ter all, It was a beloved theme with her, being that of her friends. Mrs. Slaton is a Southern woman by every right. She comes of gen erations of Southern ancestors, and was born in West Point, Ga., the old Grant home. Before her marriage to John M. Slaton she was Miss Sallie Grant, the daughter of an old South ern family. ENVIRONMENT SHAPES WOMEN OF ALL SECTIONS no less. Nothing she said reve ?aled j anything else.

C., May 3—Mrs. Champ Clark, wife of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, to-day gave to The Sunday American an in terview on “What Difference I Have Found in the Ideals of Southern and Northern Women.'’ In a word, this Is what Mrs. Clark said: The Southern Woman: More conservative, more Individual, more independent, more original, more inclined to have the courage of her convictions, better equipped with latent business ability. The Northern Woman: More conventional, better equipped with, technical knowledge, relies on prec edent more active in community work, and more subject to fads and and fashions. "The Southern woman is a law un to herself," said Mrs. -Clark. "She confronts a. situation squarely, and wastes no time seeking precedents by which to govern her course, but makes her own laws. “I think.” Mis. Clark continued, “that environment has a great deal to do with all of u«. The Southern woman is more sheltered than the Northern woman. In general, I would say that the two types have the same ideals, with different ways of reach ing them, due probably to the fact that they are brought up differently. “The Northern woman has more money and more convention, and a better knowledge, as a general thing, of technical values.” In carrying out this idea, Mrs. Clark used a phrase which deserves to be isolated from the rest for it? clearness in indicating one funda mental difference which she finds in the women of the South and North.

City Best Friend of De&lvn h Georgia and All Over Sooth* as Indisputable Figures Clearly Demonstrate at First Glanco* Two Hundred Thousand Men Out of 312,491 Within Five Hon- dred Miles of Atlanta Come Here to Buy All Their Supplies. Seven Hundred and Fifty Differ ent Articles Are Made in TMs City and Shipped Out Broad cast Over This Whole Section. Atlanta boldly makes its bid, backed by figures indisputable, for the po sition of the best friend of merchants in Georgia and in the South every where. Figures, compiled for The Sunday American by the Chamber of Com merce and the Merchants and Man ufacturers' Association, bear evident »* that as an advantageous trading cen ter Atlanta has not a rival in the South. Hard-headed business men have realized it. Of 312,491 merchants in the South, more than 200,000 trade in Atlanta. The 200,000 and more are listed by the Atlanta Credit Man's Association; the other figures come from the books of Brndstreet’s agen cy; both are records of Impeccable truthfulness. Said Harry T Moore, secretary the Merchants and Manufacturers’ Association, yesterday! "The figures alone should pro*** Atlanta’s advantages as a trading center It is just another instance that nothing succeeds like success or like merit. The fact that buetness men do trade here is the beat evidence of the city’s advantages." What can merchants buy in Atlan ta? The sump “Made in Atlanta” is a label know now to the entire United State*. It is borne by no less than 750 distinct articles, the range of whose variety covers practically ev erything that can be contrived by the hand of man. 750 Genera! Classes. The 750 articles do not include the enumeration of different varieties of a single object. The number is that of the general classes of things man ufactured. An alphabetical list of articles mads in Atlanta gives an idea of the great variety of th© city’s industries. Ths list begins with abdominal supports, accordion plaiting, and acid phos phates. It ends, after 18 pages, with cotton yarn, Including everything from car wheels to Jewelry, and from horse collars to candy. No branch of known industry la unrepresented. Atlanta's boast that no other city in the United States can show such a versatility of manufactures is well founded on government statistics. Other cities, larger cities, may olaim a great aggregate value for their manufactured articles; none can claim a greater variety. Few wants can not be filled by Atlanta's fac tories. Besides the products native to At lanta, the city offers to merchants the articles made in other sections, which are distributed from Atlanta to all the immediate South. The city’s claim to prestige as the South’s first dis tributing point is based on the fact that fourteen railroad lines run from the doors of its warehouses and fac tories into every part of the South. Atlanta is a veritable hub city, with the fourteen lines radiating in every direction, tapping the Atlantic and gulf coasts, reaching northward, east ward, westward and northwestward. There is no port of the South Atlantic or gulf coasts that can not be reached by rail from Atlanta in eighteen hours. John C. Calhoun Prophetic. History records that John CJ. Cal- houn, the great South Carolina statesman, saw with his wonderfully prophetic eye Atlanta's future great ness. The city, founded about 18SI, was known to Calhoun and his con temporaries as Terminus. “The city will be great,” he said, “it is tlie natural point of conver gence for roads tfcal will bq^buil;
