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.

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 less woman cannot concentrate 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.

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. WHITE CITY PARK TO HAVE OUTDOOR BATHING LAKE I Arrangements are now being made by many Atlanta Sunday schools for picnics to be held this month qt White City Park.
