/ * TITE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT) NEWS. Superintendent Slaton Praises Campaign for Schoolbooks Fund Superintendent of School* Slaton Wednesday highly praised the move to raise a fund to provide poor children with schoolbooks and clothing. “There are many poor children in Atlanta who can not get the benefit of an education. The,only way to place helpless children in the public schools is for the public to subscribe to a fund which will clothe and feed and shelter them and buy their books,’’ he said “If these children who can not go to school are permitted to frequent the slums and the pitfalls of city life, society must foot the bill by maintaining courthouses and officers and jails. “The effort of The Georgian and The Sunday American to secure money for the poor to get an education is direct protection to every life and every dollar’s worth of property in the State. “1 heartily commend the enterprise of The Georgian and Sunday American in this noble work, and earnestly urge everyone to help the good cause.” v * 'V v Even going to public school is de nied you If you are very poor—as poor as the families of a certain 250 At lanta children. About that many boys and girls there are In the city who win be unable to enter scnool when the term begins next Monday. There Js no money at home to buy books and the necessary clothes. And that the children may have the opportunity they desire and the chance for the education they covet a fund is being raised in Atlanta to pay the necessary expenses. The appeal for contributions was first made by the Associated Charities, and extend ed to every persotn in Atlanta. The need of each child is small, pitifully small, judged by the general standards. And yet the dollar or the lack of it will mean education or ignorance for most of the 250. You who read this would smile, wouldn’t you, at the thought of the very weighty financial transaction that spending a dollar involves. May Be Their Only Chance. p But there are t>oys and girls who to-day are crying out their hearts be cause another day nearer the school term has c« ^e ^nd they see no chance to enter. Most of the children, according to the figures of the Associated Chari ties, are of the age between babyhood and that doubtful maturity whose years permit them to work in the mills. This year only their age keeps tnem at home, and to many, then, this is the one opportunity for even a smattering of learning, for the bare three “R's.” And because they lack the little amount for books and clothes, they must stay at home, facing the pros pect of illiteracy. There must be money for books. Clothes are necessary, too. And to that end the Associated Charities has asked for contributions, both of cash and of clothes. Fund Already Started. The Georgian and Sunday Ameri can, with a contribution of $50. has headed the list of donations, and will receive cash contributions from other sources. All money received will be sent immediately to the office of the association. Gifts of clothes for the poor school children should be sent to the office of the Associated Charities, in the Gould Building on Decatur street, between Peachtree and Prvor streets. The school term begins Monday, and the appeal that has gone out bears the request that donations of money or clothes be made immediate ly, as the time grows short, and there are many children to care for. It is estimated that no child will need more than $10 for books and clothing together. Many will need no more than $1. Sum Needed Is Trivial. Just a little sum. the price of a baseball game or two, a box of candy, a theater ticket. But to 250 children it means the chance of an education. Probably to some it is the only chance The children who feel thus the pinch of poverty are eager to attend school, according to Joseph Logan secretary of the Associated Charities. None of your indifferent laeearde are they but children of spirit who will make the most of their oppor tunities, and who will learn, even if this be their only year at school, enough of reading, writing and arith metic to give them a glimmer of the possibilities of education and of de velopment that lie beyond. So much the appeal promises, that the Asso ciated Charities has sent out to all Atlanta. Now and then comes a real opportunity for doing good—an opportunity so big and so broad that even the worst of us re gard it a privilege to join in and jielp. Just such an opportunity is offered Atlantans by the plea from the Associated Charities for a fund to buy schoolbooks for 250 little children of the poor. Could there be a stronger appeal than is furnished by these bright-eyed, ambitious young Anglo-Saxons whose thirst for an education even extreme poverty threatens to destroy? Could you invest one dollar, five dollars or ten dollars or even a few cents better than in a contribution to this fund? Not if you had waited for years. The Georgian has headed the list with a check for $50. It will be only a day or two before the sum needed is raised. Join quickly with your contribution before you lose your best chance of the year to show that you are a good citizen and one worth having in such a city as Atlanta.

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. COMO, ITALY, Sept. 3.—Judge Charlton, father of Porter Charlton, the young American wife slayer, said to-day he believed his son would be acquitted. Juijge Charlton held an other conference with Signor Mellini and afterward said that from an Italian viewpoint, young Charlton's case appears optimistic. “I believe my son will be able to eat his Christmas dinner on United States soil," said Judge Charlton. In his cell in the jail, Porter Charl ton busied himself writing poetry, making entries in his diary and read ing illustrated magazines. He called for a Bible when first placed in his cell, but has since made little use of it. Camorrist Defense Studied. Lawyers employed by the defense are making a close study of the pro cedure of the famous Camorrist trials at Viterbo. In those cases prisoners were acquitted even in instances where full proof of guilt was placed before the court. Provocation and attacks upon the authenticity of tes timony played Important parts. The prosecution's case against Charlton rests practically upon the confession and testimony of -the de fendant. No one saw Charlton beat his wife’s brains out with a hammer and a statue of "Love" and hurl her body Into Lake Como. The evidence upon which he was arrested was cir cumstantial. Father Comforts Son. There are reports that the lawyers for the defense may question the right of a court or jury to adjudge a man in Italy upon a confession made In another country. Judge Charlton's presence Is cheer ing up his son wonderfully. "Be brave and straightforward and everything will come out all right," is the advice given by the parent to his erring son Marist Cadets Will Get Army Instruction Major E. R. E.

President Wilson, author and statesman, reads detec tive stories for recreation, and the more lurid they are the better he likes them.

ESTABLISHED 1865 MEXICO CITY, Sept. 3.—Although denials were made to-day that differ ences have sprung up between Presi dent Huerta and members of his cabinet, reports of a shake-up were persistent. Dr. Urrutia, Minister of the Inte rior and the firebrand of the Huerta cabinet, issued a statement to the press explaining how reports got abroad yesterday that he had re signed. He had been asked about the rumor, he said, and In the hurry of the moment gave information to the correspondents wnlch they had garbled. General Blanquet, Minister of War, also denied reports that he had re signed. In this connection many be lieve that In a short time General Geronimo Trevino will succeed Gen eral Blanquet. Many persons believe that In the interests of tranquillity. Dr. Urrutia will be forced from the cabinet. He has been the author of many utterances that have embar rassed the Government. Many Americans who left here for the United States in response to the advice of President Wilson and Sec retary of State Bryan, returned here to-day from Vera Cruz, bitterly com plaining of hardships they were com pelled to undergo. Most of the wo men and a large number of the men refused to accept second-class ac commodations provided by the con sular office and declare that they could not stand the intense and humid heat at Vera Cruz while wait ing for a ship. Hotels and boarding houses at Vera Cruz are crowded, prices are high and the food is poor. Americans here have wired to Washington for definite reasons why they should get out of Mexico City, but the telegrams were not answered. Advices from Terra Blanc state that Special Envoy John Lind ar rived there safely and spent part ot yesterday and last night visiting with his old friend. S. M. Emery, on a sugar plantation.

Dresses Brightly When Gay, Qui etly When Pensive and Som berly When Sad. This thing of why women wear the things they do, which has been dis cussed and otherwise for several cen turies, had some new’ light shed on It Wednesday morning, when Mrs. Den McGrath—Miss Bertha Yeoman professionally—arrived in Atlanta with her husband to open the seas >n at the Atlanta Theater to-night in the musical gambol, “Mary’s Lamb.” Mrs. McGrath did not denounce the slit skirt, the X-ray or other favorite sermon topics; neither did she in dorse them. They do not concern her, she says, “because if they are the fashion, a woman must wear them. She must keep up with the fashions whejther she wants to or not." “Color Is but the emblem of thought,” Mrs. McGrath said. "If a woman Is downcast and un happy she will probably wear green, which to me means sorrow. Red al ways signifies coquettry, and a wo- man who wears that color is very apt to be in a flirtatious and vivacious mood. Blue is the emblem of purity and Innocence, even more so than white, I think. White always makes me think of something soft and beau tiful and lovable. Purple 1 always associate with a mind of great bril liance, and nine women out of ten who w’ear purple you will find arc women of unusual Intellect and tal ent. But yellow and brown are the most beautiful of colors. Whenever 1 am particularly happy I always wc ir either yellow or brown, though I think yellow expresses greater happiness than brown. "Though the average woman prob ably does not know It, the color of her dresH determines her mood. Aa the mood changes, so does the color of the dress. "Take my own case, for instanee. I have to be In different mond» in different acts of ‘Mary’s Lamb’ and I can not attain the desired state of mind unless 1 wear gowns of a certain color. “In the first act I must be a dash ing adventuress, gay and vivacious, and I wear a gown of a reddlsti- violet color, because that color har monizes with the necessary mood; the color makes me feel exactly right for the part. "In the second act I am supposed- to meet my old sweetheart and am very happy. Hence I wear a brown or a yellow gown. Brown and yel low are my favorite colors, and the mere wearing of them makes me hap py- “In the third act I become intent on obtaining revenge and if I didn t wear something with a dash of red in It I could never apprmich the proper state of mind. If I wore a dress -if another color the act would be ruined, because I could not put my heart m m'- work. In this net I wear a eeri*3 and black gown, with a slit skirt—a very slit skirt," EISEMAN BROS..
