WASHINGTON, May 8. President
Hon\er Folks, of New York, to-day
opened the ninth international meet
ing of the National Association for
the Study of the Prevention of Tuber
culosis. The cenvention will last un
til Saturday evening.
Methods used effectively in reduc
ing the death rate from consumption,
its well as the progress of the work
of the society in prevention, will be
discussed.
The Friedmann “cure” for tubercu
losis was termed an “adverse factor”
In the national campaign against the
whit# plague bv President Folks.
Folks refrained from expressing any
opinion as to the value of the serum,
but said the task of securing local
and State appropriations “has become
vastly more difficult because of the
press agents of Dr. Friedmann.”
“The Friedmann incident lias
brought out one useful fact,” con
tinued Folks. “The announcement of
the Friedmann cure brought to light
many tuberculosis cases that we knew
to exist, but never could reach.”

too, that the “lightly” part of it
should be stressed a bit more.
“Girls have fizz on the brain.” said
Mrs. Bohnefeld to a Georgian re

Surgery Called Coming
Cure for Tuberculosis.
WASHINGTON, May 8.—The fu
ture treatment of progressive oases
of tuberculosis must be surgical rath,
er than medical, according to Dr.
Mary E. Lapham, of Highlands, N.
C., an expert on lung troubles, who
spoke before the clinic section of the
Ninth Annual Meeting of the Na
tional Association for the .Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis, which
opened here to-day.
"There are two classes of pulmon
ary tuberculosis, those that recover,
and those that from the start mani
fest an inability to arrest the dis
ease." said Dr. Lapham. "These pro
gressive eases may improve, but they
annot hold what they gain. As soon
as this is recognized, the futility and
danger of depending alone on good
nursing, fresh air, and rest must be
admitted and surgical aid employed.
when a case of pulmonary tuber
culosis belongs to the progressive
type, to persist medical measures
alone mar- cost the life of the patient.
Surgery should be promptly tried be
fore it is too late.”
Mehnarto to Give
Serum to Humanity.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON. May 8.—“At the moment
I claim nothing for my serum. But
once I am assured of its beneficial
action 1 shall gladly give It to hu
manity."
Thus spoke Dr. Frederick .Mehnar
to, the young but learned Germ-ui
bacteriologist whose reported discov
ery of a serum that cures tubercu
losis. malaria and leprosy, has excited
great interest on both sides of the At
lantic. s
Dr. Mehnarto said:
“1 shall say only this much. Mv
serum involves a totally new princi
ple which was unknown to medical
science hitherto. The employment of
the serum is only in the experimental
stage, but 1 have several hundred pa
tients in various centers of Europe
who are undergoing treatment with it.
These lesLi have been going on sev
eral months, but it will be some time
yet before I ran announce definite re
sults. 1 repeat that at the moment
I claim nothing for my S'erum.”
Dr. Mehnarto seemed annoyed that
his researches have been commented
on in the public press; as is seen, he
assumed the attitude that medicdl
ethics demands professional secrecy
and non-commercialism.
Clings to Medical Ethics.
“I have nothing to say,*’ was his
first answer. “Publicity will do no
good at this time. When the tests of
my serum are completed the full re
sults will be published, but in the
medical journals. I do not wish to
find myself in the Rime situation as
Dr. Friedmann because of undue pub
licity.
“Anything said now might cause ;i
great deal of harm, by causing har
rowing disappointment. Many mis
leading articles regarding my serum
have appeared in the newspapers of
Europe, and to offset them 1 had to
if»sue a disclaimer in The London
Lancet. Again I repeat that I must
decline to say anything further until
there is something tangible to talk
about.”

do with the errors young girls com
mit in affairs of the heart. But upon
modern tendencies and the habits
adopted by the girls of to-day she
places most of the blame.
Miss Mamie Odum ran away from
her good home because she did not
w r ant to marry a “nice” .young man
her parents had selected for her. She
had Yead about city life, its gayeties
and joys, and spurned the attentions
of the model young man of the vil
lage. Moving pictures she dearly
loves, and the ice cream parlors are
a heaven.
Mrs. Bohnefeld says:
“That’s the trouble. Girls are not
satisfied to stay at home and learn
to be housekeepers and good cooks.
They read too much trash and fill
their heads with silly notions.
Love of Home Real Basis.
“Love of home is the only basis on
w hich real love is founded.”
Miss Odum wants to marry a man
who is wealthy. Automobiles and
theater parties are her dream of joy—
or were, for she has consented to re
nounce the city and return to the
parental roof. Miss Odum played the
organ for the village church choir and
taught a Sunday school class. She is
21 year old, and pretty.' For $4 a
week she had agreed to work here In
Atlanta; but three days have sufficed
to shatter the dream* she had
dreamed in her quiet little home Jt
Senoia. {
Miss Emily Douglass ran away
from her Florida home, intending to
go to Toledo, Ohio, to marry a man
there to whom-she had hastily become
engaged. When she reached Atlanta
she changed her mind.
“I had rather disappoint him now
than after we are married and it
is too late,” she told the Atlanta po
lice. She has returned to Daytona
with her brother-in-law-to-be, F. W.
Haskell, of Jacksonville.
Consider Marriage Lightly.
Mrs. Bohnefeld declares thaF girls
these days do not consider matrimony
seriously. She said:
“Parents ought to begin very early
to teach their children that marriage
Is the most serious proposition in the
world. A young girl meets a man
who Is attentive to her. and. without
any serious thought, she agrees to
marry him. She never stops to con
sider what kind of a husband he will
make, or anything about his personal
habits or his character, i believe they
get many of their silly notions of
marriage*from moving pic tures.
“Well,- I guess it is the romanti*
side of the thing that appeals to th«
girl. Anything out of the ordinary at
tracts, of course, and a chance meet
ing, a hasty courtship or a runaway
match is a genuine joy to a girl—um:;

taken to the Martha Home until her

Scores Hasty Engagements.
Mrs. Bohnefeld declares that the
large majority of hasty engagements
result disastrously, and that sooner
or later those who embark on the
sea of matrimony without serious
thought will encounter the rocks.
“It is deplorable," she said, "that
here in two days there have been
three cases in which this foolish
thing they call romance has gotten
young girls into trouble.
“But this is the month of May, and

of the false lights of romance.

A Modern Invention---
A Recipe for Happiness
By EVELYN WREN.
Would you like my recipe for
happiness? Here it Is:
When weary, when anxious, when
almost desperate because of the
trials of the day, I do not sit down
and bewail my fate—I go to a mov
ing picture show.
Because [ often reach the little
crlf*es of anxiety nnd resort to this
most efficient remedy, I have grown
gradually and unconsciously to bo
quite a critic. It has become a
real responsibility, for 1 feel, If I
say that a certain picture show is
good, that a certain number of my
friends Immediately plan to visit
it.
I love the “movies" I enjoy the
talent and triumphs of the actors
and have learned to regard them as
my friends. J appreciate what they
have done for me in making my
dark days bright. I like the
glimpses into untraveled road*
^ which help me in my daily life.
Now, you are- going to listen to
me, I am sure, when I tell you what
I have seen to-day. You won’t
believe it at first, unless you were
fortunate enough to go too.
I have seen moving pictures that
talk at the Savoy Theater. “Of
course.” you will say, “they all
talk.” No. you are wrong, for this
is not a lip-reading contest, but
real, loud words which even a child
would understand.
The pretty picture I saw was like
a miniature Grand Opera, a bit of
the prettiest part of an idyllic act.
To the grace and charm of the
thespian participants were added
the marvelous words issuing from
their lips.
It was almost unbelievable. I
rubbed my eyes and tried to per
suade myself that I w r as not in
dulging in a remarkably pleasant
dream It was a realistic dream,
just as are »o many, and the en
tering of the Savoy Theater w'as
but the memory of many happy
little rests. Then, so I theorized,
my dream had become fantastic,
as dreams will do no matter how
practically they begin.
I felt like Alice in Wonderland,
to whom all sorts of strange things
happened most plausibly. I had
even determined to ask the lady
who sat next fo me whether she
were only a dream or real. Then I
thought I had best w'ait. for I must
soon awake.
The awakening did not come un
til I had the very nicest time imag
inable listening to the pictures talk.
Then I began to enjoy the other
films and stayed until the talking
pictures appeared again. Then 1
rushed to see Mr. Jackson, manager
of the Savoy Theater.
He was glad to tell me about
this new invention. I did not en
deavor to learn how the lips of
the performers and the words
which they uttered were kept in
perfect unison. I w'as only anxious
to learn “When?” “Twice a week,”
w r as the reply, and I have made an
other mental note in my happiness
book.
That means new talking films
every Monday and Thursday. But
1f you wish to see the charming
one w’hich aroused my enthusiasm
you may see it to-morrow. Each
and eve y day the Savoy Theater
will shjw these wonderful pictures.
We are accustomed to almost
miraculous Inventions and to the
unusual. We feel almost disturbed
If we are surprised out of onr in
difference. Sometimes we evert
feign Indifference, so afraid are we
that we may show appreciation.
Don’t do this. Visit the Savoy
Theater at once a.nd learn to five
and to enjoy. Let your suppressed
enthusiasm ‘know no bounds when
you see the product of master
mind#, the stories which are told
*o artistically as to seem simple,
wherein is the highest art.
