WOMENSWEEKTOAD
WORK FOR EMORY FUND
“Women's Week” in the campaign
to raise $500,000 in Atlanta for Emory‘
University was started Wednesday.
Just as the Rotarians had their week, |
the lawyers, the doctors, the mer- |
chants, ete., had theirs, so the women
of Atlanta, whose interest in the uni
versity is no less important than the
interest of the men, now are given an
opportunity to contribute to the suc
-I¢ess of the great movement that has
attracted nation-wide attention.
Working through the City Federa
tion of Women’s Clubs, the women
have launched an organized campaign
that will embrace every ward in the
city and bring to bear the effort of
every women’s club affiliated with the
federation. The membership of all
these clubs approximates more than
10,000 women, and it is planned to
enlist every one of them in the cam
paign for Emory University.
Beginning with a rally of the wom
en of the Ninth Ward held Monday, at
Wwhich subscriptions of more than
$4,000 were reported, and with a gen
eral meeting held Tuesday at the
Chamber of Commerce, at which sub
scriptions of several hundred dollars
Were reported, the “Women's Week”
for Emory is-launched with approxi
mately $5,000 as a starter, and the
women ‘have entered the campaign
Wwith a whole-souled enthusiasm that
assures a splendid showing.
Children Enrolled.
One of the finest features of the
“Women’s Week” will be the enroll
ment of the children as founders of
Emory University. BEvery child that
gives 10 cents will be presented with a
certificate that he or she is a founder
of the university, and this certificate
will be signgd by Bishop W. A. Can
dler, chancellor of the university. One
day next spring a list of the children
founders will be placed in a corner
stone of one of the university build
ings, and special exercises will be held
in their honor.
Mrs. F. R. Logan and Mrs. Wilmer
L. Moore are co-chairman in charge
of the children’'s founder feature of
the “Women’s Week,” and are making
rapid progress in the distribution of
blank subscription cards among the
little folks. The money they give will
be small in comparison with amounts
being raised in other sources, so that
this feature of the eampaign is not in
tended as a means of swelling the
Emory fund, but is designed for the
purpose of enlisting the active inter
est and co-operation of the children

Council Members Threaten to
Start Impeachment Proceed
ings as an Offset.
The brewing of a row over the
Peachtree street “bottle neck” appro
priations was started in the City
Hall Wednesday = which involves
threatened suits against members of
Council and possible impeachment
proceedings against Mayor Wood
ward as a retaliatory measure.
The charge on the floor of Council
that Mayor Woodward last year ap
porved, and allowed to be paid out,
$5,060 as a reimbursement to the
citizens who contributed to the
Peachtree street widening, and this
vear vetoed an exact duplicate of the
appropriation, has stirred the Mayor
| to unusual activities.
He had Graham West, chief clerk
to the Comptroller, to look up the
mater and the cancelled check for
$5,000 was found, signed “J. G. Wood
ward.”
To Notify Clerk to Sue.
He then asked City Clerk Walter
Taylor to come to his office, and no-
Friends As Executors.
Friends are generally too busy with their own affairs
to be byrdened with the responsibility of the manage
ment of your estate, or to give sufficient time to the intri
cate accounting and procedure required by the Courts.
If it is desirable to have an executor who is person
ally acquainted with your family and business, you may
appoint a friend or relative

F
titied him that,.under the law, he
would notify the Clerk to sue for the
fecovery of the amount on the
grounds that it was paid out on' a
“moral obligation” and was, there
fore, illegal.
The Mayor admitted his joint re
sponsibility for paying out the money.
His plan for the suit would involve
him as well as the members of Coun
cil and the other officials. He went
sso far -~ to figure the pro rata share
each would have to pay in case of a
judgment, and found it to be $129,
The storm is expecetd to break at
the meeting of the Aldermanic Board
Thursday afternoon, when the vatd
of Mayor Woodward of this year's ap
propriation, overridden at the meeting
of Council Monday, comes up for ac
tion.
The Mayor, it is sald, will 8o be
fore the Aldermen and explain his po
sition. His contention is that his
signing of the voucher last year was
an oversight. His plan is to urge
that the appropriation for this year
be killed and the amount paid out last
yvear recovered through the courts,
City Agreed to Refund Money.
The city's obligation came about
when citzens offered to advance $30,-
000 for the purchase of land to make
possible the Peachtree street widen
ing. It was agreed that the city
would reimburse them to the extent of
$25,000, at the rate of $5,000 a year,
and that the county would do the
same. The Central Bank and Trust
Coporation~was made trustee for (he
citizens.
The County Commission has made
three payments on its pledges. The
city has made only one, and has an
other now pending.
Com;::l\ and the Aldermanic sßoard
have shown that both bodies were al
most unanimous for carrying out the
promise—that is. before Mayor
Woodward started his fight. A num
‘ber of members are determined to
fight back just as hard as the Mayor
strikes. The Mayor has declared he
will not sign the voucher if his veto 1s
finally overridden. Councilmen think
this will give them grounds to im
peach him.
All in all, it's guite a quarrel, and
promises to almost totally eclipse in
interest the other row that has led ‘o
an investigation of the charges of i--
regularities in the purchasing depart
ment.,
PRICE BACK AT CAPITOL.
James D. Price, Commissioner of
Agriculture, returned Wednesday
from Bullochville, Meriwether Coun
ty, where he spoke Tuesday before a
large agricultural rally in the school
building.

(Extract from Jacobs’ Book
“HOW TO FEED A
BABY.”) ~
| ATURALLY a healthy mother
N should feed her own child, and
no cause save inability should
prevent her doing so. The milk of
& healthy mother confers a degree
of immunity to infection to the
‘young infant. -
~But there are many mothers who,
\though willing, can not nurse their
)owu children. Either they have no
milk for them, or what there is, is
poor in quality and deficient in sus
tenance. :
A milk must be found which in
every respect approaches that 'of
‘the mother. Cow’s milk containg
too much casein, too little fat, too
little milk sugar, and is frequently
acid and swarming with bacteria.
Many scientific modifications of
milk are made in the milk labora
;tories. but these are expensive,
bulky to transport, and require
great care in handling. A correctly
modified milk is the best substitute
;tor feeding the voung infant. :
~ When a child is brought up by
’hand experience has shown that it
thrives better when some fresh or
raw material is given. This may
‘be obtained from raw meat juice
‘and the juice of grapes or oranges,
or a little fresh cream may ocea
sionally be added to the hottle, if
ithe milk supply is thoroughly relia
' ble.
| Baby, like father, is better and
‘happier for a variation in his die
‘tary: s 0 that when he is eight
~months old he may have, in addi
|tlon to his cream, fruit juice, and
raw meat juice, a little floury po
tato carefully sieved from the outer
{portion of a nice mealy potato
|baked in its skin. This should be
|mixed' with gravy from the joint,
|As he cuts his teeth and wants
{something to gnaw, give him a de
{puded chop bone to harden his
|gums on. When he has flassed his
Inrst year, milky puddings, junket,
| fruit, jellies, and later fish, chicken
and meat panadas, until he arrives
]al the dignity ot cellops (freshly
iminced meat).
! The best indication of proper de
;velopmem in a child is a right in
|crease in weight, coupled with in
l(‘rense in muscular strength. At
| five months the ehild should be able
| to hold its head erect, and at seven
onths to sit up for a short time,
' When ten months of age it should
' begin to crawl, and at g year pull
itself up and stand by a chair. At
fourteen and fifteen months of age
!a child will generally walk alone.
Do not encourage a child to walk
before it does so of its own accord.
An infant will increase from five
to eight ounces in weight each
‘week. If the average increase in
weight is very small, the food is
leither not being properly dgested
and made use of, or an insufficient
quantity is being given. Should the
movements of the child be copious
and contain undigested enrd, the
{food is not being properly assimi
‘!uted; but if they are dry, hard and
{small in amount, it is probable that
(too little food, with insufficient fat
|is being given.
If the increase in weight is much
over eight ounces a wegk the child
is probably receiving too much
food. Sickness immediately after
'u meal generally shows that too
