It has been competently decided that a telephone message and a telegram are the same within the meaning of the laws governing the telegraph ser vice and therefore it is believed that the statute enabling the Government to acquire, upon payment of an ap praised valuation, the telegraph lines of the country will enable the Gov ernment to acquire the telephonic network of the country. “Parcel post reaches everywhere whereas private expresses extend their operation* only to profitable ter- j ritory,” says the report. “Twenty-j millions of rural residents now have house-to-house delivery find collec tions of parcels, a. service formerly to j be had only in cities and towns.” Telegraph Lines Useless.

Humor* of mobs In Augusta caused Devotees of Waltz Should Learn Simple Steps of This New Dance Easily. Here is the first dancing lesson for Georgian readers by Miss Donna Bain, beautiful instructor of Atlanta society and brilliant expert in all the latest steps. By MISS DONNA BAIN. The popularity which the hesitation waltz has recently achieved in Amer ican dancing circles is an indication that the old-time glide waltz, so pop ular in the days of our forefathers, is coining back Into favor, for the hesi tation retains many of the beauties of the glide with distinctive varia- j tlons that give, it what might be and to give it a sort of bewildering beauty that neither the Boston nor the glide waltz alone has. The hesitation is not hard to dance, and to learn it one does not have to have any special fund of natural grace, although the more graceful the beginner is the quicker will she learn. Grace is an inherent quality of the dance, and an> recognized dance, danced well, is graceful. The aver age person, even with no knowledge of (lancing, should learn the hesita tion waltz in a few' lessons, and for a good waltzer the task should be even easier. Instructions for dancing the hesi tation waltz could be spun out in al most an endless thread, but I think the following will suffice to give any one an Idea ‘of how to dance it. Here Are the Steps. In the hesitation waltz the girl should start on the right foot, and balance back or: the left, taking four Boston walk steps forward; waltz back on the left and hesitate on the right; starting on the left foot, take four Boston steps, reversing to left and hesitating .on the left; repeat, starting on the right foot. Another step in the hesitation waltz is made by waltzing on the left foot, alternating forward and back, and I hesitating on the right foot between j the waltz steps. There are numerous i others that come with practice and that should not be attempted until the prjiici{fit*3 of the dance have been well grounded. And in dancing, remember that the more you try to be graceful, the more graceful you probably will he. And above all do not shrug your shoulders or wiggle your body. There are some dances, notable interpretive and clas sical dances, that require certain movements of the arms, shoulders and the body to convey the full mean ing of the dance—but in the modern ballroom dance such movements are out of place and ungraceful.

Full of Grace and Beauty. There was never a dance, perhaps, so filled with natural grace and beauty as the glide waltz, and you will still find that the majority of the lancers, though they bow to the dlc- ates >f fashion and dance the new lance*, still have a tender spot in their hearts for the glide waltz and lance at everv opportunity. And for .he.-o the hesitation is a suitable and satisfactory substitute. It is a combination of the Boston and the old glide wall/, combined in just the right proportion to suit devotees of both dances. Th© Boston steps give it vim and go. while there s retained enough >f the glide waltz to pre vent t»ie dance from being awkward, H WATCHES Y ou will appreciate our splendid stock and the service we offer, should you have in contemplation the purchase of watches for Christmas giving.

Powell, ANDERSON & SHROPSHIRE, of Atlanta Now Prominently Connected With THE COSMOPOLITAN It gives me great pleasure to announce the appointment of Ander son & Shropshire (Mareellus At. Anderson and A. J. Shropshire, Jr.), of Atlanta, as managers for THE COSMOPOLITAN for territory em bracing about forty counties north of Fulton, an-d some few south, with exclusive control, except counties of Fulton and DeKalb. Both of these gentlemen are highly resjjected citizens of Atlanta, and by their courteous and just treatment of agents they have built up a very strong agency force of an unusually fine type of men. The reasons which induced Messrs. Anderson & Shropshire to be come associated with THE COSMOPOLITAN are worthy of note. First. Mr. Anderson and Air. Shropshire are loyal Georgians, and feel that they are performing a duty to their State in assisting to build up a Great Home Institution, which is destined to accomplish an immense amount of good in developing the resources of our State as well as the South at large. In the second place, these gentlemen have made the connection after weeks of deliberation and the closest investigation of the financial condition of THE COSMOPOLITAN: the character of of ficers and directors of the Company, and the economical and conserv ative business policy to he pursued. Their investigation has disclosed the fact that not, one penny has been paid for the sale of the Company's stock, and no rebate or concession given to any subscriber, all buying their stock on the same basis. They have found that the members of the Finance and Executive Committees of the Company are enthusias tic and ready to co-operate in making THE COSMOPOLITAN a great Southern life Insurance Company. Furthermore, they have carefully inspected the forms of policies issued by the Company, and found them sound aetuarially, and at the same time very attractive to insurers. I beg to state that THE COSMOPOLITAN is the only company organized under the new and rigid insurance laws of Georgia, and the organization was perfected under the direct supervision of lion. Wm. A. Wright, Insurance Commissioner, and Mr. John A. Copeland, Dep uty Insurance Comissioner. Thay are familiar with every detail, and have given the Company their highest indorsement, as shown by the following statement of General Wright: OFFICE INSURANCE COMMISSIONER, STATE OF GEORGIA: Atlanta, March 1,1913. Dr. M. M. Riley, Chairman, Atlanta, Ga. Dear Sir—1 desire to say that your Committee is to be con gratulated upon having secured the.consent of Mr. J. O. Wynn to accept the Presidency of the reorganized Cosmopolitan Life In surance Company. I have known Mr. Wynn officially and per sonally for nearly thirty years, and am familiar with his career as a Southern insurance manager. He is a man of unquestioned in tegrity. universally recognized as an insurance man of the very highest qualifications, and an eminently successful financier, as at tested by the success, of all enterprises with which he has been con nected. I am satisfied from the conversation I have had with Mr. Wynn in regard to this matter that he lias been finally induced to accept the Presidency of this Company entirely from patriotic motives. His official connection with the company will draw about him the co-operation of the leading business men of this and other cities of the State, and, in my judgment, when it becomes generally known that he is connected with the Company, the slock, old as well as new, will, within a very short while, material ly advance in value. 1 am satisfied that no more advantageous se lection of a man for the Presiden cy of the Company could have been made, and feel that this selection assures the future success of the Company. Yours very truly, (Signed) AYM. A. WRIGHT, Insurance Commissioner. I desire to call attention to the fact that “THE COSMOPOLI TAN” LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, which was organized on April 5, 1913, has no connection whatever with “Cosmopolitan” Life Insurance Company, which failed in December. 1912. The new com pany. by purchase from the Insurance Department, acquired the as sets of the old company, paid the claims authorized by the courts, put in new money and new officers, and intends al wavsot pursue conserv ative and safe business methods. I confidently believe that the citizens of Georgia will appreciate in* efforts to make a Great Home Company, and will give us a liberal share of their business. The Company merits the fullest confidence, and invites the closest .'wstigation. JAMES O. WYNN. President. 4 f
