WOMEN'S WEEK TO AR
WORK FOR EMORY FUND
“Women's Week” in the campaign
to raise $500,000 in Atlanta for Emory
Uiniversity was started Wednesday.
Just as the Rotarians had their week,
the lawyers, the doctors, the mer
chants, etc., 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
cess 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
which 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
with 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 ae founders of
Emory University. Every 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 signed 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 dne 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 campaign 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

\

~ 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
prorved, and allowed to be paid out,
$5,060 as a reimbursement to the
citizens who contributed to the
Peachtree street widening, and this
yvear 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 burdened 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

tified him that, under the law, he
would notify the Clerk to sue for the
recovery 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
so far s~ 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 vet)
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 go 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 $50,-
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 the
citizens.
The County Commission has made
three payments on its pledges. The
city has made only one, and has an
other now pending.
Council and the Aldermanic Board
have shown that both bodies were al
most unanimous for carrying out the
promise—that lis, 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 isg
fipally overridden. Councilmen think
this will give them grounds to im
peach him.
All in all, it’s quite a quarrel, and
promises to almost totally eclipse in
interest the other row that has led to
an investigation of the charges of ir
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

(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
a 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
own 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 contains
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
for feeding the young 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 occa
sionally be added to the bottle, if
the milk supply is thoroughly relia
ble.
Baby, like father, is better and
‘happier for a variation in his die
tary; so that when he is eight
months old he may have, in addi
tion 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
nuded chop bhone to harden his
gums on. When he has passed his
first year, milky puddings, junket,
fruit, jellies, and later fish, chicken
and meat panadas, until he arrives
at the dignity of collops (freshly
minced meat).
The best indication of proper de
velopment in a child is a right in
crease in weight, coupled with in
crease in muscular strength. At
five months the child should be able
to hold its head erect, and at seven
months to sit up for a short time,
When ten months of age it should
begin to crawl, and at a year pull
itself up and stand by a chalr. 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 aceord.
An infant will increase from five
to eight ounces in welght each
week. If the average Increase in
weight is very small, the food is
either not being properly digested
and made use of, or an insufficient
quantity is being given. Should the
movements of the child be copious
and contain undigested curd, the
food is not being properly assimi
lated; 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 1s much
over eight ounces a week the child
Is probably receiving too much
food. Sickness immediately after
a meal generally shows that too
