“Men Are Willing to Grant Right!
if We Convince Them,” De
clares, Suffrage Leader.
Atlanta advocates of equal suf
frage are much Interested in the visit
of Mrs. E. G. Graham, of New Or
leans, State organizer for tin* Woman
Suffrage League and a woman of nu
tional prominence.
Mrs. Graham made an informal talk
to a small gathering of women at the
home of Mrs. France* S. Whiteside,
No. 46 Columbia avenue, Tuesday aft
ernoon, during which she told of be
ing tn the famous suffragette parade
in Washington w hen the women were i
rushed by boisterous spectators.
“If it had not been for our love of
the cause we would have been com
pletely routed." said Mrs. Graham.
Must Convince Men
Mrs. Graham said Ihe 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
are convinced tney really want it,"
she said. “That situation puts the
obligation wholly on our shoulders.
"No distinction is mode In sex in
the higher arts. People do not care
whether a writer, painter or musician
Is a woman or man 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 tho right
of the ballot.' 1
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 tho
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 comer.
Since then the idea has taken hold
in cities all over the United States

SAVANNAH, Dec. 31. — The re

the hoy who lost his speech and hear

The young man takes his affliction

He stated that it was an act of Prov i

Loeb-Rice Marriage
Not an Elopement
Mr and Mrs Marcus Loeb ask The

The marriage took place at the ap
pointed time in the presence of rela

Joint indictment of forgery, in the
signing of four bonds, of the name
1*. A. Keith, a negro, were returned
Tuesday afternoon by the Fulton
Grand Jury against Robert Emmett
Blount, a well-known young local
attorney, and W. A. Jarrell, a real
estate operator. The two men have
not been taken into custody, but each
advised the Sheriff's office shortly
before noon Wednesday that he would
make bond during the day.
Keith’s name appeared as bonds
man on bonds made by Pauline Cur
tis, J. E. Hanford, Earl Cost ley and
K. S. McMillan, who failed to appear
for trial and whose bonds were for
feited.
Blount was given a hearing in Re
corder’s Court some time ago in con
nection with the signing of the
bonds. He admitted signing two of
tlie bonds, but insisted that he did
so with Keith’s permission. He claim
ed Keith signed the other bonds in
the presence of witnesses. Chief
Deputy Sheriff John Owens, who ap
proved two bonds, will be used as a
witness by Bipunt to prove Keith
signed them.

“The unremitting

Sir Patrick Mansor
that the sand fix spreads pellagra, and
even may be responsible for its origin,
j although that point is in doubt.
I “It ajj-o i? a disputed point as to the
method of tranwnitting the disease.
One camp contends that the sand fly
acts 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. Others assert that pellagra is
transmitted by the sand fly through
its bite, as :n 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
ple against allowing their attention to
be distracted by the sand fly theory.
More Evidence Against Fly.
"The report of the Thompson-Me*
Fad den commission will be the most
important and authoritative pro
nouncement this country has had in
regard to this disease that has come
to be so universally and so properly
feared in the Southern States."
Contributory evidence in the con
viction of the sand fly i? found in the
fact that the Insect is indigenous to
all climes where pellagra is found,
and that the Italian region-- 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 ftv 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, and especially
by the Atlanta physicians most of
whom have encountered the disease
in their practice, and all of whom are
deeply interested in discovering Us
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 be 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
.—from whose ranks practically all
the experts are drawn who testify :n
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 he standi* Sized by certain rules
that will givf* it the proper weight of
unbiased evidence.
I)r. T*. 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
j their profession, the following com
mittee was appointed:
Edward C. Pickering. J. A. Holmes.
E. B. Wilson, the new president of
1 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

gress calling for a suitable law’
AfViong the interesting papers read
at the various meetings Wednesday
morning was one on “The Develop
ment by Highway Bond Issues.” by
L. I. Hewes, chief of economies 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 lavSt until
the bonds are retired. * * * Bond
issues for highways should secure a
high percentage of permanent im
provement in the roads built from the
proceeds.
Long Terms Dangerous.
"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.
“The rich 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
building than a ‘standard surface.’
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 tho
law of contract, five fundamental
questions should be answered on the
label which should be on every arti
cle, namely:
"What the article 1 •: how made:

Science Cures Many
Mentally Weak Children.
Many children are doomed to lives
of mental darkness for lack of careful
examination of their n^ntal and phys
ical condition.
This is the opinion of Dr. Lightner
Witmer, head of the department <»f
psychology in the University of Penn
sylvania, who blazed a trail in Amer
ica that has led hundreds 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 def* 0 -
tive. He also instituted the same
work in Lehigh University and Bryn
Mawr 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 Philadel
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 rought to him as hope
less, and that they had been cured or
aided by treat men based upon a care
ful examination of the children’s
mental and physical characteristics.

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 Stiles, of the United States Pub
lic Health Service, \n his 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 both 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 ot
the new sewerage disposal plants of
Atlanta: B. M. Mall, G. P. Haj-Iey,
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 ot 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 in 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 status
of gypsy moth parasites in New Eng
land. Dr. Howard told a remarkable
story of how the New England farm
ers are eradicating this pest by the
Importation of parasites which wage
war upon the moths.

been a good year because it I
brought us “The Blue Bird.' ,
The one regret of Father Time J
in passing is that he must leave
all the pleasures of “The Blue {
Bird" to the new-born year,
which smiles in anticipation, as i
should all who have this pana
cea for depression awaiting to
delight them. Sidney Ormond,
in The Constitution, says:
"See ’The Blue Bird’ if you can
possibly find time and money.
You will have missed the treat
of years if you do not. Of The
Blue Bird’ it is impossible to
speak in terms too lavish."
Ward Greene, in The Journal,
says: “‘The Blue Bird’ is a pl*Y
for every one. You will regret
missing It. for It is the best
of the season in Atlanta."
“Tarleton Collier, in The Geor
gian says: "There Is -a poignaiu
something in Maeterlinck s farv
tasy that makes it transcendent
beyond the frivol of fairy stories.
T- It is refreshing."
