- and Coal Resources of Region.
Underwood Sees Federalßoard.
WASHINGTON, Jan. B.—Out of the
Temarkable work so far accomplished
in Washington in behalf of Rome, Ga.,
as the site for the bhig $11,000,000 Fed
eral armorplate plant have developed
three questions of far-reaching im-
Portance to the entire South.
These questions have aroused all
Bouthern Congressman to activity be-
Yond the mere matter of locating the
plant at some particular place:
First—The integrity and avail
ability of Southern ores in gen
eral for the purposes of armor
plate,
Second—The supply of South
ern coal and its quality.
Third—The proper adjustment
of freight rates as they touch the
other two problems.
Hearing that there might be some
doubt in the minds of the Federal
board considering the armorplate
matter as to the availability of South
ern ores for the purpose of armor
plate manufacture, Senator Under-
Wood, of Alabama, went beforé the
board. He told it that there is no
doubt whatever that Southern ores
are perfectly adapted to armorplate
burposes, and that they are of a
quality paralleling the ores used in
the great Krupp factories in Germany
right now.
Senator Underwood is an authority
on steel, perhaps the very best in
Congress, and what he sald about
Southern ores in general in this con
nection impressed the board pro
foundly and favorably.
Senator Hoke Smith also had as-
Sembled a great mass of data on both
Southern ores and coal, which at the
proper time will be presented to the
board.
Judge W. C. Adamson, chairman of
the Interstate and Forelgn Commerce
Committee of the House, today
Btated he very greatly favored Rome
@s the site of the Federal armorplate
plant and that he expects to do all he
c¢an to push its claims.
“I am sure this matter will be set
tled on the merits of the cases made
out by the various cities, and that is
as it should be,” said Judge Adam
son. “But I have been convinced
Rome's claim is superb, and probably
the best of any made or likely to be
made,
“I shall do all I can to impress her
claims upon all persons to whom such
knowledge would be heipful in reach
ing a determination just to the Gov
ernment and best for its big armor
plate experiment,”
Girl Skater Better
Yolande Boyd, 14, dau%hrer of Mr, and
Mrs. L. C, Boyd, No. 10 West Twelfth
street, was recovering Thursday from

Jaon and Penn avenues, where the little

but eould not stop the truck in time to
avold striking the child. Mrs. Boyd, the

avoidable and the driver should not be |
blamed '

“Is there room for love in a business
woman's life?”
This is the question which is con
tinually being put to Rose Stahl. Miss
Stahl in her remarkable characteriza
tion of Maggie Pepper, the depart
ment store saleswoman, made such a
strong impression on the public that
working girls in particular look upon
her as another Beatrice Fairfax and‘
are continually writing her for ad-'
vice, I
Now, in “Our Mrs. McChesney,”
coming to the Atlanta Thursday night,
Miss Stahl again is portraying the
woman in business and the same old
question of “love and Business” isl
being put to her. Emma McChesney
says that any work is a woman's
work If she can do it and do it well,
and these are Miss Stahl's views ex
actly,
Miss Stahl is strong for the home.
She belleves there is really nothing
in business to offset In & woman's
life & happy home and children.
There can be no doubt that under a
seemingly indifferent manner nearly
every business woman at heart Qopee
to become some day a loving ‘wife
and mother. It Is only a question of
waiting for the right man to come
along.

mously for a “Merchants’ Week,” to
be held in connection with the South

Moreover, more than half the $2,500
required for expenses was raised by
subscription among those present.
The period fixed for Merchants'
Week was from February 5 to 10, in
clusive. The purpose is to welcome
the visiting merchants from all the
Southeastern territory, attracted by
the low railroad rates of the TLand
Show, and give them such an excel

and entertainment as to impress them
deeply and lastingly with Atlanta, and

association, to raise the remainder of
