G. Graham, of New Or- •earfs, State organizer for the Woman Suffrage League and a woman of na tional prominence. Mrs. Graham made an informal talk to a small gathering of women at iho home of Mrs. Frances S. Whiteside, No. 46 Columbia avenue, Tuesday aft ernoon. during which she told of be ing n the famous suffragette parade in Washington when the women were i rushed by boisterous spectators. “If it had not been for our love of j the cause we would have boon com pletely routed,” said Mrs- Graham. Mutt Convince Men Mr«. Graham said the keynote of the present plan of the feminist movement was to convince the men that the women really wanted to vote. “My State. Louisiana, is ready to give the women the ballot if the men •ire convinced they really waflt it.” she said. “That situation puts the obligation wholly on our shoulders. “No distinction is made in sex tn the higher arts. People do not care w hether a writer, painter or musician Is a woman or mar. History proves that there is no distinction in patri otism. Women have been just as loyal, brave and self-sacrificing as men Started Social Centers. “it is just as logical that there should be no distinction in the right of the baflot.’ Atlanta women hope to Increase the interest in equal suffrage through the visits of such women as Mrs. Graham Her practical leadership al ready has been demonstrated by the success of social centers at public schools. She, with the presidents of the City Federation of Women’s Clubs of New Orleans, established the first public school social center. Since then the idea has taken hold in cities all over the United States. Boy Loses Speech; Scientists Puzzled j SAVANNAH, Dec 31. The re- I markable case of Grover Crawford.

Continued From Page 1. doubt as to smallpox being a germ disease. “The unremitting work of Dr. Sam- bon ;ind the great English scientist. Sir Patrick Manson, all tends to show that the sand fly spreads pellagra, and even may be responsible for Its origin, although that point is in doubt. “It also Ts a disputed point as to the method of transmitting the disease. One camp contends that the ?mnd fly arts as a common carrier the same as the house fly conveys typhoid germs on its feet, and implants them in the human system by walking on food. Othefs assert that pellagra is transmitted by the sand fly through its bite, as tn the case of the mos quito and malaria. “And the more, conservative divi sion still contends that mouldy corn meal is to blame, and warns the peo- pie against allowing their attention to be distracted by the sand fly theory. More Evidence Against Fly. “The report of the Thompson-Mc- Fadden commission will be the most important and authoritative pro nouncement this country has had in regard to this disease that has come Jo be so universally and so properly feared in the Southern States.” Contributory evidence in the con viction of the sand fly is found in the fact that the insect is indigenous to all climes where pellagra is found, ana that the Italian regions where pellagra is most general and where registration of all cases is required, are all regions well supplied with rapid streams—the type of water in which the sand fly breeds exclusively The report of the commission and its probable plans for “swatting the sand fly” are awaited with great in terest by the scientists, anil especially by the Atlanta physicians, most of whom have encountered the disease in their practice, and all of whom are deeply Interested in discoyering its cause and methods of prevention. Another Important Report. Another report that is likely to make a noise at the present conven tion is that of a committee of five, to bf* read at the general council Thursday morning, on the standard izing of expert testimony in the Unit ed States. The ultimate aim of the scientists i —from whose ranks practically all the experts are drawn who testify in the big cases—is that the experts shall be appointed by the court, and not permitted to be employed by either side. and expert testimony shall be standardized by certain rules that will give it the proper weight of unbiased evidence. Dr. L. O. Howard, of Washington, permanent secretary of the associa tion, suggested the movement some time ago. and after’ a good deal of discussion and some opposition by prominent lawyers because the first committee did not include one of their profession, the following com mittee was appointed: Edward C. Pickering, J. A. Holmes. K. B. Wilson, the new president of the association; Senator Elihu Root— perhaps the greatest lawyer in Amer ica- and A. D. Little, a New York lawyer of vast experience in the trial of expert testimony cases. Will Continue Work. This committee, Dr. Howard said, would make its report of progress to the council, receive suggestions, and continue its work. Eventually, a rec ommendation in the form of a resolu tion to the President of the United States will be adopted, the laws of European nations being carefully stu died, ami a bill introduced in Con gress calling for a suitable law. Among the interesting papers read at the various meetings Wednesday morning was one on “The Develop ment by Highway Bond Issues.” by L. 1. Hewes, chief of economics and maintenance. United States Office of Public Roads. The paper advocated the shortening of the type of bond issued and the adoption of the “serial type.” “The present tendency," Mr. Hewes said. “Is to the 30-year term for the construction of relatively cheap roads which frequently can not last until the bonds arc retired. * * * Bond Issues for highways should secure a high percentage of permanent im provement in the roads built from the proceeds, f Long Terms Dangeroif*. “The tendency to extend mileage unduly with the proceeds of long term bonds is financially dangerous." Dealing further with roads and particularly with Southern roads. W. W. Crosby read a paper on “Types of Road Crusts or Pavements," which considered the various types of surfaces, from asphalt and brick through gravel, slag, stone and vitri fied cubes. “Theyrich agricultural soils of the Sunny/South,’’ said the speaker, “re quire more careful attention while being made into'roads than do those of a more gravelly or rocky charac ter. “There is no more Striking or dan gerous fallacy in the art of road i building than a ‘standard surface.’ J This matter is a topic for careful consideration, especially in view of the fact that $50,000,000 of borrowed road money now Is ready for expen diture in the South. "The Necessity of a Standard Label on all Commodities Offered for Sale” was handled by George R. Wieland, research associate of the Carnegie In stitution and Yale lecturer. "To determine the value of a com modity,” said Mr. Wieland. "and to hold those who advertise and sell ’t to a reasonable interpretation of the | 'aw of contract, five fundamental j questions should be answered on the label which should be on every arti cle. namely: “What the article H: how made: where made; when made, and by wlfom made or produced. Evidently, this simple aim at telling the absolute truth about commodities will simplify FELL WILSON JERSEY CITY, X. J.. Dec. 30.— Miss Anita Grish, new overseer of the poor, lays down these rules to-day for abolishing pauperism In her Jurisdiction: Establish a municipal employ ment bureau.

Munroe, of the George Washington University, in Taft Hall. Auditorium-Armory. Pro fessor Munroe's subject will be "The Explosive Resources of the Confed eracy During the War and Now—A Chapter in Chemical History.” At the University Club a smoker is to be held Wednesday evening at tho Invitation of President K. J. Pearce for the Southern Society for Philoso phy and Psychology. Science Cures Many Mentally Weak Children. Many children are doomed to lives of mental darkness for lack of careful examination of their rr% ntal and phys ical condition. This is the opinion of Dr. Lightner Witmer, head of the department of psychology in the University of Penn sylvania. who blazed a trail in Amer ica that has led hundred-* of young people from supposed mental deficien cy and feeble-mindedness to norma!, or nearly normal, conditions. Dr. Witmer founded the psychologi cal clinic for the examination and treatment of children mentally defec tive He also instituted the same work in Lehigh University and Bryn Mavvr College. Since he began this close study of backward children and devised methods for their treatment, parents as far distant as California have sent their children to 'hiladel- phia for examination. Dr. Witmer, who is in Atlanta for the meetings of the American Asso ciation for the Advancement of Sci ence, said Tuesday that many of the cases were brought to him as hope less, and that they had been cured or aided by treatmen bjked upon a care ful examination of the children’s mental and physical characteristics.

American Association for the Advancement of Science, at Piedmont Hotel.—Advt. Scientist Says South Needs Better Sanitation. Race segregation and special at tention to sanitation, particularly with regard to the negro population, was urged on behalf of the “mothers of the Southland”. Tuesday night in a powerful plea by Dr. Charles Wad dell Stilus, of the United States Pub lic Health Service, in iris address de livered at Taft Hall before the mem bers of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. "The men of the South give only from one-third to one-half the pro tection to their women that the men of other sections give theirs,” Dr. Stiles asserted, and declared that one of the chief oversights in the South ern plan -was the lack of adequate segregation of the white and black races. Dr Stiles pointed out the fact that a mutual interchange of two dis eases—tuberculosis and malaria—was a constant factor in damaging the health and destroying the life of both —and that in b&th cases it was the mothers of the white race who suf fered most. The constructive activities of Geor gia figured largely in Tuesday’s ses sions of the mechanical science and engineering sectio , which is holding its meetings at the Georgia School of Technology. At this meeting Captain Clayton. Chief of the Construction Department of Atlanta, explained the workings of the new sewerage disposal plants of Atlanta; B. M. Mall, G. F. Harley. J. S. White and others told of the great development of Georgia’s water powers now in progress. W. C. Spiker had some interesting data on the behavior of the concrete framework and foundations of Fulton County’s new courthouse. A dozen or more other interesting papers, dealing for the most part with engineering projects and feats ih the South, were read. At the meeting of the entomology section Dr. L. O. Howard, United States Entomologist, read a compre hensive paper upon the present states of gypsy moth parasites in New Eng land. Dr. Howard told a remarkable story of how tbe New England farm ers are eradicating this pest by the importation of parasites which wage war upon the moths. Peabody Teachers To Be Given Reception.

Payne, president, and other members of the faculty of the Peabody College for Teachers, who are in Atlanta attending the conven tion of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, will be given a reception and dinner at Hotel Ansley Wednesday afternoon by local alumni of the college.
