She is one of the founder* end
former President of the Alabama W.
T. U.. one of the South’s most
prominent workers for home missions
and charities, and a powerful force
In her State. She was appointed a
delegate to the Congress by Governor
O’Neal, of Alabama
Mrs Chatfleld made so bold as to
sav that the talks before the Con
gress by women were the most in
teresting of all, and the mo?t slgnifl-
■ ant.
•Women oan think without pocket*
and with their hands full of things,
too," she said. “Women are think
ing and working every day here in
the South, and along lines that really
count. The world i* hearing from
them. The idea that pockets
count! ’’
And Mr* Chatfleld laughed too,
.lust as Dr. McKelway had laughed.
But Dr. W. D. Weatherford, of
Nashville, Tenn., international Y. M.
C. A. worker, did not laugh.
Rot and Foolishness.
"It is rot It is foolish,” lie said,
"People don’t think with their hands.
Mer don’t have to stick their hands
In their pockets to get along In this
world. This proposition of a link
between the hands and the pockets
and the mind is about the most fool
ish statement I ever heard. It s sil
ly.”
Mrs. E. W. Cole, of Nashville. Tenn.,
w hose brain Inspired the Congress
and who is directly responsible for
Its being, saw the statement of Up
ton Sinclair. The phrase about the
woman and the ballot caught her eye.
"I’m no suffragette,’’ she said, "hut
*ven at that I can say that I think
he is wrong.”
Like the two other*, she smiled.
"What connection is there between
the pockets and the intellect?” she
asked.
And nobody else could be found to
agree with the bold author.
So the very Interesting theory of
Air. Sinclair cou’d not achieve a se
rious audience among prominent
Southern men and women A poll
of a dozen or more men and women
revealed one opinion about it. I?
they had been of another stratum of
life, they would have said simply:
"Forget It.”

"Not a Suffragette, but He h|
Wrong,” Declares Mrs. E. W.
Cole, of Nashville.
A woman who has no pock
ete m her clothes 1* not a
competent person to exercise the
ballot. She has not learned to
think for herself, as opposed to
the man who makes her clothes
without pockets. The pocket

very long on a subject. Thought
of fear that she will lose the nu
merous things she is compelled
*o carry in her hand constantly
haunts and taunts her mind—UP
TON SINCLAIR, author of "The
Jungle."
Thomas Carlyle out of hi* Sartor
Resartus, might well have prompted
the debate on "Pockets and the Fem
inine Intellect” on which several
prominent delegates to the sociologi-
<•&! congress in Atlanta last week
had something to *ay.
The debate was sprung by a widely
published statement by Upton Sin-
Hair, author of "The Jungle,” that
women are non-thinkers because they
ere pocketless.
With one accord the prominent
Southerners whom the Sunday Amer-
l< an interviewed on the subject said
rhat the brilliant Mr. Sinclair was
for once wrong, dead wrong, and
even foolish.

i Mis instance was foolish. So much
o. that when he was confronted with
the author's utterance he merely
laughed. That was his answer.
"Well, now, what in the world do

2 French Brothers
Have 53 Children
Peasants Make on Average Fifteen
Cents a Day to Support
Their Families.
PARIS. May 3.—The national rec
ord as French fathers will probably
go without protest to Jean and Claude
Bossti. two brothers of the village of
St. Usuges. Jean had seventeen boy?
and one girl by his first wife and
seven boys and five girls by the sec
ond. Claude had eighteen children b\
his first wife and five singly to 111,
second. Three seta 'of triplets mg
to his first wife. The grand total
for the two brothers is fifty-three
children.
Of this monstrous family, ten ot
Jean's children are living and twelve
of Claude's. The brothers are poor
peasants, earning on the average ir,
cents a day. This is helped slightly
by the bounty of $2 a year paid by
the Government to the citizens of
France who raise more than three
children to the age of sixteen.

ATHENS, May 3.—The great hea r t
of Athens is rent asunder in contem
plation of a new and fretting problem.
Municipal bigwig* are sharply di
vided and families are at loggerheads
over the question of whether chick
ens snail be allowed longer to run at
large in the Classic City, or kept un
der lock and key from early morn
till dewy eve, that they may neither
be seen nor heard hereafter in pro
scribed place*.
Thomasville, with its famous and
everlasting pro and anti-cow agit
tion, is no less engaged In internecine
war than is Athens in respect of the
fowls that long have vexed a portion
of its patience.
Councilman Hugh H. Gordon pre
cipitated the disturbance when ho
proposed a new city ordinance requir
ing all owners of chickens within the
limit* of the city of Athens to keep
said chickens securely confined and
strictly under their own vine and tig
tree.
Many Amateur Gardeners.
Athens i- abundantly blessed with
amateur gardeners. Its population is
more or less old-fashioned, in a way.
nnd loves the conservatism of bygone
day*. It* broad and untarnished
escutcheon has been tainted little, if
any, with despised modernism, and
hence everybody wh*> is anybody has
a big back yard and a fine and dan ly
garden spot. Moreover, it is a sure
mark of eminent respectability to
work one’s own garden in Athens and
to raise one's own radishes, snap
beans. lettuce, cucumbers, spinach,car
rots and the like for one's own table.
And it Is a fact that the unre
strained liberty of the chickens in
Athens has of late seemingly inter
fered much with th* orderly proc*
dure of this honorable garden cus
tom. Hence the growing anti-chicken
sentiment abroad in the Classic City
nowadays.
Long-suffering citizens have com
plained that their neighbors’ chickens-
get into gardens they have no busi
ness in, and there proceed to scratch
up the young and tender vegetables,
thus rendering the fruits of much la
bor vain, and even as that of the Dead
Sea.
It took Athens a long time to make
up its mind to harden its heart
against its old friends, the chickens.
Its habitual conservatism rebelled at
the thought of doing something radi
cal and turning foe to the chickens
in its midst was radicalism run riot
in Athens!
Still, there was Athens, up against a
choice of two evils—either to see its
time-honored gardens go to wreck
and ruin, or banish the chickens from
the commons, the byways and hedges,
and decree that no more should chick
ens In its vicinity roam Wheresoever
fancy led them nnd in their erstwhile
unchallenged freedom.
Chickens Have Friends.
l^et it not be understood, however,
that the chickens have no friends in
Athens. Far be it from such! There
are brave citizens who rate chicken 1
ahead of garden "sass,” and who firm
ly aver that if either the chickens or
the gardens must go, fare-you-well
gardens! These doughty persons w ill
fight to the bitter end Councilman
Gordon’s extraordinary proposal in n
the suppression of the fowls.
Thes^e pro-chickenites have organ
ized themselves into an aggressive
legion of protest, and will go before
the Connell when the chicken ordi
nance comes up for final passage, then
and there to mash it flat with weighty
arguments and profound logic, if the
mashing happens to be fair to mid
dling good that evening.
Athens has this matter very much
up in the air at present. Bookmakers
Incline to lay no odds* either for or
against the clilckena, and only the
best sports of the town offer to bet
anything on the outcome of the dis
pute. one way or the other.
In Die meantime, one-half of Ath
ens is viewing Councilman Gordon
with genuine alarm, while the other
half is pointing to him with unalloyed
pride.

WHEN YOU GO TO
CALIFORNIA
—for you will go, within the next two years, if only to see the Panama-Pacific Interna
tional Exposition in 1915—you will need a guide and appreciate a friend.
To all the people of Central and Northern California
is more than a mere newspaper—it is an institution Lipon which Californians have
learned to rely in every contingency.
I here i> no reason why you should not rely upon The
Examiner to the same extent that the people of California do.
the Examiner maintains a large and efficient bureau of
‘information for the sole purpose of serving those who wdsh
to make use of it. without any charge whatever.
If you are contemplating visiting the State as a tourist,
and want to know about its wonderful sights and how' to get
to them, write to Tlie Examiner and it will send you the in
formation.
If you are seeking health in this most wonderful of all
climates, and want to know where the health resorts are,
write to The Examiner.
If you are contemplating investing in any of the indus
tries of the State, and want to know- their character and
standing, w'rite to The Examiner, and if it cannot give you
the information itself, it will put you in touch with reliable
people who can.
The great country land movement is just beginning in
California. Thousand- of acres of its bountifully rich valley
lands have been put under irrigation and divided into small
farms and large farms, and you will hear-more about Cali
fornia's rich lands in the next tw r o years than you have ever
heard before.
If you are interested in them, write to The Examiner,
and it will either give you definite information, or will refer
vou to people upon whom you may rely, who will give you
the information, as to whose accuracy there will be no
question.
We invite you to make the freest use of The Examiner,
and it is our desire not only to serve the people of California
at home, but to serve them also by interesting people away
from home.
And we are glad also to serve you, because The Exam
iner is not only a newspaper—it is an institution.
It .is this universal usefulness that has developed for
The San Francisco Examine.'

More than double the circulation of any other San Francisco
morning newspaper
More than double the combined Sunday circulations of all other
San Francisco papers.
Californians have learned that almost any service may
be expected of The San Francisco Examiner. No hesitancy
is shown in utilizing every resource at its command, and
this attitude of the people has been encouraged by The Ex
aminer's endeavor to fulfill every requirement made upon its
time, its influence and its sources of information.
You, wdio now contemplate California from afar, soon
will be enjoying, w r ithin its boundaries, the prosperity, pro
ductiveness and hospitality for which the State is famed.
A preparatory course of reading on California’s possibil
ities will equip you better to make the most of your oppor
tunity, either as settler or sightseer, when you reach Cali
fornia.
