Compiled by Chamber.
Statistics compiled by the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce showing why At
lanta is the logical point for the region
al reserve bank of the Southeastern sec
tion of the country wiii be presented to
Secretaries McAdoo and Houston when
they visit here on their tour of the
South.
"These statistics were astounding to
me as they will be to every other uv
•cage well-informed Atlantan,” said
President Wilmer L. Moore, who is con
fident that Atlanta’s claims to the re
gional bank are superior to those of any
other city in this section.
“I always had an Idea.” he continued,
"that vilar.ta owed its existence and
wonderful growth mainly to her geo
graphies’ location. These figures have
convinced me that this is only one of
the reasons There are a score of
others.
"If the selection of a location for the
hank were matter of polities." he con
tinued. "Birmingham might win through
the influence of <>s/*ar Underwood, but
it can not be made a matter of polities
. . txsst location will have to win.
1 am sire that Secretary McAdoo will
have the same opinion when he reads
tl * figures w e have compiled.”
The statistics were compiled by Sec
retary Walter (I. Uoooer. of the Cham
ber of Commerce, and were certified by
an auditing company.

A TAP CAST OF

Society in the opinion of Mrs.
Corra Harris, noted Southern author
of “The Recording Angel,” “In Search
of a Husband” and other successful
books—la destined to .experience a
revolution that eventually will result
in it becoming the most potent agen
cy in the world for the advancement
of duty, .morality and right, when
pink teas and receptions, which Mrs
Harris characterizes us "foolish,” will
be superseded by meetings to fur
ther some Worthy cause.
This change, however, is not to
come suddenly or spectacularly, but
will be gradual, Us arrival contingent
upon the development of woman and
her awakening to a realization of her
powers, capabilities and opportuni
ties, uni applying the time occupied
by the “affairs” of society to move
ments that are worth while.
"Woman," said Mrs. Harris, "is
just beginning to find herself. Her
development of the past few years
certainly Indicates she will become a
power In the world when she has
found her rightful place.
Points Out the Trouble.
"The great trouble with the society
woman of to-day is that she does not
know' what to do with herself; she is
like a chicken with Us head cut off.
always running around and flopping
vigorously, but not getting anywhere
or doing anything to better her con
dition.
“I regard the indications that worn
an is learning that she has brains
and that they might be of some use
to her as the most hopeful sign ol
salvation for what we term modern
society—those people who have noth
ing to do but amuse themselves and
others.
"Soviet} women are only beginning
to realize that with the abundance of
leisure time at their disposal they can
be of some use in the world, and the
logical development of this realization
eventual^ will result in society be
coming the greatest agency in the
world for the advancement of right,
i duty and morality, for the instincts
| of u woman are undeniably good;
| and when she directs her mind and
I ability toward the accomplishment of
anything, that thing must almost no
j esarily be something worth while.
Pink Teas to Pass Away.
“Eventually the foolish reception
j and pink teas will be superseded b\
meetings of women for the advance
I ment of a cause that is good, and an
aid In the advancement of right and
duty.
“The coming of this condition of af
fairs is wholly dependent upon the
progress of woman; as woman pro
gresses the world grows better, an !
when woman has awakened to a full
| realization of her powers and capa
bilities and opportunities, she will
naturally be the leader in the ad
vancement of all things that are good
“Whether woman eventual'} will
be a leader in politics and business is
something that can hardly be fore
told. Certainly woman will influence
politics and business to the extent ot
purifying them somewhat, at least."
“Savage” Dances Taming Down.
Mrs. Harris declined to criticise the
turkey irot, the tango and the freak
dances and freak diversions of mod
ern society.
"In an article I wrote for The Sat
urday Evening Post last June," she
declared. ‘1 endeavored to show thai
the turkey trot was not a dance a;

all. hut a revival of the savage rhyth
mic motions of our primitive an
cestors.
"In that article I predicted that the
turkey trot would develop until it had
the semblance of a dance. That pre
diction, I think, has come true, for the
turkey trot is fast losing its sattage-
ness and becoming a decent dance,
especially in the larger cities, where
it is danced more modestly than in
the small towns."

RESINOL CURED
AWFUL ITCHING
IN ONE NIGHT
New York. April 26, 3 913.—“The skin
on my hand got red and rough. It
itched and I began to scratch it. It
itched so that sometimes I could not
sleep at night. I was suffering very
much. I used salve and ,
but they did not seem to help me. This
went on for six or seven months. Then 1
1 tried Resinol Ointment and Resinol
Soap. I used them one night. In the
norning, to my surprise, my hand was
all w r ell and the trouble has never re
turned. This is the absolute truth.”—
(Signed) Miss Celia Kleinman, 61 Co
lumbia St.
Nothing we can say of Resinol equals
what others, such as Miss Kleinman,
say of it. It does its work quickly,
easily and at little cost. If you are
suffering .from itching, burning skin
troubles, pimples, blackheads, dandruff,
j ulcers, boils, stubborn sores, or piles, it
will cost you nothing to try Resinol
Ointment (50c and $3.00), and Resinol
Soap (25c). For trial size, free, write

Why Tango Is Popular.
"The people who make the amuse- j
ment of themselves and others a vo- j
cation," she replied, “have less real
diversion in their lives than :wiv other (
class of people. Therefore they seize \
eagerly upon anything that is novel
and different.
“And that is the reason for the tur
key trot and the tango; they are a j
novelty, and are different from the ,
old dances; they give society some-j
tiling else other than the waltz and
the schottische and the other dances
ol our fathers.”
