first interest in fall wear.
We’ve the supreme things in Derbies and
Soft Hat fashions.
New Derbies have medium and high
crowns and brims of close roll.
New Soft Hats are tall of crown with
brims narrow. Greens are in high favor and
a variety of shades. Browns and grays are
good.

Beavers Thinks Man Can Be Only
Wondering Spectator of Ever-
Changing Feminine Styles.
"The question of woman’© dress is
a delicate ^subject, i can’t say what
I would do to prevent indecorous and
Immodest garb until my attention Is
called to such a case.”
This was the manner in which
Chief Heavers avoided committing:
himself Friday’ in respect to the pol
icy in several other cities which has
resulted in the arrest and fining of
women who have appeared on the
streets in gowns too daring.
The Chief would talk about wom
an's dress in a general way, yes; but
when It came to setting the line be
tween modesty and immodesty or to
divulging what he would do If the
limit were overstepped, he was silent.
Chief Beavers is a firm believer in
the theory that the history of wom
an’s dress forms a cycle that re-

Atlantans Will Aid Themselves by
Giving Books and Clothes to
Ambitious Children.
Only two days remain In which 250
poor boys and girls of Atlanta may
wonder rather wistfully if they’ will
be able to go to public school this
year, whether the good genlu* of At
lanta's generosity will supply the
money needed for their school books
and a few clothes.
They have no money themselves,
and even going to public school re
quires some money. Hence the ap
peal for contributions.
But no appeal in their behalf can
be written quite so forcible as the
appeal of the children themselves
They are big, human documents, each
one of them, a poignant demand on
yoi**’ sentiment, each one of them.
And when it is qonsidered that the
apapal is multiplied 250 times, the
matter becomes something for your
Heart's consideration. *
A Logical, Human Appeal.
And then there is a logical appeal,
as well. It could be argued that If
these children must run the streets,
acquiring the companionships and the
habits of the streets, the cost may be
more to the city than a dollar or two
apiece ultimately.
Your contributions will mean the
difference between education and Il
literacy, good citizenship and vIcIouh-
ness. Your contributions will mean
only a dollar or two from you, but
worlds, significant worlds, for Willie
Watson and the 250 boys and girls
like him.
Atlanta, It is true, has a large num
ber of interests Just now. There is
the pennant race, and the players
must be remembered. The show-
houses all are opened, after a long
spell of theatrical Inactivity. And the
fall fashions are in our midst with
their demands on the pocketbook. But
Atlanta Is a big, prosperous city, big
enough to have a heart and to realise
that a demand on the heart is the big
gest of all its interests.
Children Deserve Education.
The fund which The Georgian and
Sunday American la endeavoring to
raise and turn over to the Associated
Charities grew slowly Thursday and
Friday. Considerably more Is neces
sary than has been given, and the
appeal Is here voiced with renewed
force.
Remember that 250 children must
go to school. They deserve it. and
the city that is their home deserve©
It. Everybody, you must confess, de
serves this chance for an education
Remember thta from $1 to $10 is
necessary to provide each with the
outfit necessary—books, and, In the
case of 129, clothes that are present-
able.
Gifts of cast-off clothing wfll be
received by the Associated Charities,
which asks that such contributions be
sent to its ofTlces in the Gould build
ing, on Decatur street, between
Peachtree and Pryor. Money contri
butions may be sent to that office, or
to The Atlanta Georgian and Sunday
American.
Remember, too, that your giving

A kneelet of gold, studded with dia
monds, is the latest thing to-day. The
one shown in the picture is worn by
Jane Ott, of New York, teacher of the
tango. She plans to introduce to the
public this newest of woman's orna
ments.
The kneelet is to be worn with a
slit gown, which almost permits the
knee to emerge from its retirement
of centuries. The gown is just a tri-
fle more daring than any yet shown
This kneelet is worth $7,500. It
consists of a broad plaque of filigree
gold encrusted with diamonds. In
this respect—except that it is much
wider—it resembles its predecessor,
anklet.
But, owing to the firmness of its
position, it is able -to do what the
anklet could not do-^-it supports a
pendant, or drop, which is a large
pearl set in many diamonds.
Its designers hope that it will
neither shock the lawmakers who
might forbid its use, or those with
sufficient force of character to arouse
a public opinion which would turn
against the daring slit skirt necessary
to display the Kneelet.

The Famous English Suffragette
Leader to Tour Principal Cities
to “Grease Wheels of Cause.”
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, Sept. 5.—A hint was
given to-day at the headquarters of
the Women’s Social and Political Un
ion that Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst,
who is planning a tour of the United
States this fall, will introduce mili
tant methods in the suffrage cam
paign in America. One prominent
member of the organization is quoted
as saying:
“Things will move more rapidly
when Mrs. Pankhurst reaches the
other side. She will liven things up.
The founder of militantism can show
the American women how to grease
the wheels of the cause.”
Joan Wickham will sail on the
Cedric on September 11, and is due
In New York September 19 to ra-
range the Pankhurst tour. Mra
Pankhurst will make several ad
dresses in New York and expects to
speak ’ also in Boston, Philadelphia,
Chicago, Denver and San Francisco,
Baltimore. Cleveland, Pittsburg, Buf
falo and Kansas City.
Mrs. Pankhurst expects to have a
definite itinerary arranged before she
arrives in New York, but will go out
of her way to deliver speeches in
favor of the cause if invited by suf
frage organizations.
English suffragettes resumed tac
tics of violence to-day. Several farm
buildings and five haystacks were
burned near Hampstead and the golf
links there were destroyed. The dam
age is estimated at $5,000.
Columbus Now Pays
Meat Inspector $150
COLUMBUS, Sept. 6.—The city of
Columbus, through Its Council, only
recently allowed the meat inspector,
who was drawing a salary of $90
per month, to leave the employment
of the city because he asked for a
salary of $125, making the plea that
the finances of the city would not
allow the increase.
It has reversed its own judgment by
electing a new man at $150 per month.
Decatur Boosters

The members of the Decatur Board
of Trade will gather at the court

Superintendent Slaton Thinks
More Evil Than Good Would
Result—Up to Parents.
More evil than good would result
from the teaching of sex hygiene to
school children, in the opinion of
Superintendent William F. Slaton of
the Atlanta public schools, and he will
oppose any attempt to introduce such
a course.
“I can’t get away from the old idea
that this is a subject which should
be handled by parents,” said Mr. Sla
ton Friday. "And I really believe that
the proper course for the advocates
of such teachings is for them to teach
the parents, who in turn may teach
the children.
“The effect which the teachings of
a morbid-minded person might have
upon the young minds is something
which we very much hate to con
sider, but which we must. It would
be apt to put thoughts in young minds
which would never have been thought
of otherwise.
“Of course, I do not mean by this
that those favoring this teaching are
morbid-minded, but an overzealous
person is apt to reveal a morbidness,
and these overzealous ones might
creep in.
“I am very much opposed to the
proposition, and hardly think it will
be suggested for the Atlanta schools
any time soon. I would suggest that
the good people who are really serious
in their belief that sex hygiene should
be taught in the schools, commence
a campaign to educate the parents.
This, in my opinion, is by far the best
method.”
At the Lyric.
No better attraction could have been
selected by the management of the
Lyric to open the regular theatrical sea
son than charming little Emma Bunt
ing, who has made so many friends in
Atlanta during her several stock en
gagements in the city. The present ve
hicle, "The Circus Girl, is a splendid
play with an interesting plot, w’ell
staged and delightfully acted, and Miss
Bunting has an opportunity that suits
her talents perfectly. Miss Bunting's
engagement is for a week only, termi
nating with the Saturday night per
formance.
At the Bijou.
Jewell Kelley and his supporting
compffhy are drawing splendid au
diences this week to the Bijou. The
Man From the West” as a play is high

Jewell Kelley company is quite capable
of producing high-class plays as well
as melodramas of the more sensation;*)
kind. For next week the offering will
be the sensational comedy drama, "My
Dixie Girl,” a "story of the Kentucky
mountains with quaint characters and
mountain feuds. The third week will
open with the matinee Monday after
noon as usual.
