Suffrage Movement
Takes Hold in Macon
Mothers’* Club
Shows Social
Center Need
The Mothers’ Congress will dem
onstrate at the Child Welfare exhibit'
[ Tuesday afternoon the work of the
I Parent-Teachers’ Association and its
j campaign for a broader usage of pub-
i lie school buildings.
I Den^pnstrations will be made be
tween the hours of 3 and 3:30 and
4:3o and 5 o’clock.
1 Tlie Mothers’ Congress has been
actively engaged in advocating the
establishment of social centers in
public schools for some time. It is
proposed by th6m that tDe buildings
be thrown open to the public as meet
ing places for the discussion of
neighborhood projects.
Officers of the congress are Dr
Catherine Collins, Mrs. Hamilton
Douglas, Miss Willet Allen, Mrs. W.
H. Wiggs, Mrs. W. V. S piker, Mrs.
Margaret Lanig, Mrs. S. I). Rowlett
and Mrs. A. I>. Bramlett.
Mrs. T. K. Glenn, local president of
the Parent-Teachers’ Council, will
represent that organization at the
demonstrations.
For the first time perhaps in the
history of the city, Atlanta mothers
are being given an opportunity to
have their babies examined free of
charge by competent physicians at
the Child Welfare Exhibition.
The work is being done by mem
bers of the Fulton County Medical
Society, which numbers among its
members the most prominent doctors
of Atlanta. They have donated their
services to the management of the
show, and are working In relays, half
a dozen of the physicians being on
hand each day to examine the chil
dren.
The health conference is attracting
more attention than any other de
partment of the show. More than a
hundred children have been exam
ined since the show opened, and the
number is increasing every day.
“The greatest trouble with the
average mother,” said one of the doc
tors Monday, “is that she never learns
what is the matter with her child
until it is too late. Babies should be
examined often, becau.*»e there are
many diseases that get a foothold in
a child’s body and are not apparent
to any but tlie trained eye and mind
until it is too late to cure them.

In Time for All the Christmas Festivities
and the Christmas Giving
A Sale of Fine Linens
Madeira and Cluny Pieces
As timely as the temperature of this fine December day.
The festivities of Christmas are right before us, and whose gift
list does not show some good homekeeper who will greatly appre
ciate and enjoy a piece or a set of fancy linens?
And the tendency of linen prices is upward.
We have temporarily checked it. We have effectively lowered
prices.
T he sale is an opportunity.
Linens you would be proud to own or to give, the embroidery
of the Madeira pieces is as dainty as comes from the little Island
of Embroideries; the Cluny laces are rich, heavy, all-linen, the kind
to hand down from one generation to another.
A Chamberlin-Johnson-DuBose Co. clearaway!
Read the savings—

To see the wondrous sight,
The toys and dolls and pretty things
That make the Christmas bright.
The lion roared, the big bear growled
And hugged the lamb—it died.
Poor Mary cried, a little bit,
Until a doll she spied.
Now dolly goes to school with her.
And teacher does not scold.
But smiles the sweetest, kindest smile
And tells of dolls of old.
She takes it now to school with her.
And teacher does not care,
But says she thinks ’twas very mean
Of that old grizzly bear.
