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.

HARRY HOOLIGAN WITH ENTIRE NEW BOOK AND MUSIC A TAP CAST OF -PEC!ALLY SELECTED PERFORMERS 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of duty, .morality and right, when pink teas and receptions, which Mrs Harris characterizes us "foolish,” will be superseded by meetings to fur ther some Worthy cause.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.

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.

Mrs. Harris wa the fact that it it that there Is little in the freak dune why society has enth usiast ically. 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.” Mrs. Harris is spending the holi days with her daughter, Mrs. H. B. Leech, at College Park, where she resided a number of years ago. After DON’T WAIT For the freeze. Order vour COAL TO-DAY and BE READY.
