From Atlanta Streets |
BKlders of Christ Church, al.tter l’il\(
Saints (Mormons). will not be allowed
to preach on Atlanta streets, Mayor
James L. Key has decided, after sev
eral of them. granted this privilege,
abused it by selling literature to their
audiences,
Rev. Charles A. Callis, of Chattanooga,
Pighop of the church, visited Atlanta
to ask Mayor Key to rescind his ac
tion in revoking the permits of the el
ders . several weeks ago. Mayor Key
wrote him the following letter:
“In the matter of revocation of pnr-;
mits to vour elders here to preach on
the streets, I beg to say that | have
very seriously refiected upon our con
versation when you were in my nfflx‘('.‘
and have taken pains to linvestigate
clogely the ineldent out of which thi
revocation grew
“As you clearly understand, the per
mit was merely to preach on the
streets This permit, however, \\'axl
abused by your elders and books and
periodivals were sold on the nlrn‘v(s,‘
which was in violation of hoth the per- i
mit and of our ordinances In con
nection with that, you have informed
m¢ that in making these sales \nurl
elders violated the rules of your church,
As to that, of course, 1 have nothing
to do; but while they could excuse
themgelves in a way perhaps from a vio
lation of our laws, which they did nm!
fully understand, they could not excuse |
themselves from the violations of lh--’
iles of your churchy which they fully
understand. This being true, 1 do not |
feel that the case made would suffi- |
ciently commend itself to my dis« H»lmul
to make any change in the situation,
ind the order of revocation will stand
as issued.”

?I"wlrr.:: Board for Voeational Education Is
i Doing Great Work for Wounded Men,
By AUSTIN JOYNER,
A soldier or sallor may be badly
crippled, but he may still be trained
to occupy a remunerative position and
function as a useful citizen
This paraphrase of the Salvation
Army slogan is drawn from a careful
investigation into the workings of the
Federal board for vocationsl educa
tion, the Atlanta branch of which oc.
cuples the entire eighth floor of the
Forsyth Building with a working staff
of 126 persons
No matter wiat the nature of a for.

’ll\ mayv he, the Federal board is pre
pared to take hold of him and turn
his dark clouds inside out. If t's an
arm that he has lost and his old job
was running a printing machine, then
the Leard's job is to consult with him
lnn the nature of hils new work and
provide him with the proper trainidg
AND the job, 1f he was a postman
and lost one or both of his legs, may
be he will make a good printer. If
that's the work he wants, he gets the
training and the crippled printer’s for
lnn-r seat at the machine, llf it's dis
| ense of some sort—tuberculosis or
anyvihing of that nature—-he is given
institutional treatment at the expense
of Uncle Sam and made whole again;
then he is provided with training and
a job,
Nothing Compulsory.
There is nothing compulsory ahout
the system of training and treatmene
given by the board, It's up to the
crippled or digabled man to walk In
and take advantage of the wonderful

be obtained nowhere else on earth,
While the disabled man is taking
his training he is supported by the
Federal board and the Bureau of War

without dependents, he will receive
$6/ a month while training. If mar
ried and living with his wife while

If a disabled maw ‘wants training,
there are several possible steps. IFirst,
he consults with the advisement bu
reau as to what sort of occupation he
may want to take up, This may be
anything from ‘shoe cobbling to art
painting, and the finest facilities ob
tainabie for instruction in any trade
are available, After arriving at a de
cigion, thd actual training begins,
most of which is “on the job” in ex
isting industries, but sometimes in
universities. After graduation as a
first-class craftsman, a good job |s
found by the placement division, nor!
is he even then deserted. The divi
sion keeps up with his progress until
he is fitted into a permanent job with
which he is satisfied and.in which he
gives satisfaction, :

While the ny, t ing and

. The treatment of tubercular, epilep

outgrowth from the original purposes
of the board. In co-operatien with
othar governmental departments, the
American Red ('ross, the Elks, Rota
rians and other welfare organlza
tions, this new work has been taken
on and has become an important
tranch of the board's work. The in

Bureau of War Risk Insurance, while
the FKederal board co-operates witn
the vocational training work.
The extent of the work performed
by the board in the Atlanta district—
covering the States of North Caro
lina, South Carolina, Georgla, Florida
and Tennessee—becomes apparent
when it is known that 14,666 cases
are now in the hands of the local
hoard, with approximately a thousand
new cases coming in weekly.
Field Agents Sent Out.
A vocational adviser represents the
hoard at every point where soldiers
and eailors are to be demobilized and
attempts to interview each of them
hefore or after he receives his dis
charge. HRield agents are heing sent
out to comb every county in the dis.
trict to ind men who may have been
overlooked and offer them the ad
vantages provided by the board. A
big campaign to reach every one of
tnem, through the public press, the
pulpit and in every other way, is be
ing planned.
Georgians are particularly interest
ed in the working of the system be
cause Senator Hoke Smith piloted the
hill creating the board through the
Senate. The promotion of the scheme
to rehabilitate disabled soldiers has
beer: a hobby with the senior Georgia
Senator for some time and it was
largely through his efforts that suffi
cient sentiment was created in the
House and Senate to make possible
the passage of the bill in the last
Congress,

Best Grocery Clerks
(By International. News Service.)
TOPEKA, KAN, May 24.—8oldiers back
from France make the best grocery
clerks. At least George Denton, city food
inspectors, says so. He is in a position to
know. Mr. Denton says that the boys
learned sanitation while in the army, and
that it is “‘ple"” for them to keep a grocery
clean after having had to keep a big
barracks clean, Many Topeka grocers
have employed returned soldiers and, ac
cording to Mr. Denton, he can tell which
stores have them by the quick way In
which the store takes on a clean appear

grocers has been that they were short of
help and couldn’t keep the place looking
as neat as usual.

of the court is that you go home and stay
there until after May 27, when old Ohio
goes dry.”

Light Opera Company
Organized in Atlanta

and Other Favorites.
By DUDLEY GLASS,
Yum Yum, Puti Sing’ Nankl Poo
and Ko Ko are coming back to us

Not to mention Poo ‘Bah and Ka

themselves, v
pon't those names bring back hap
py memories to you told-timers? 1
can hear you now, humming softly to
vourselves “Behold the Lord High
xecutioner” and soliloquizing on the
axiom that “The flowers that bloom
in the spring, tra la, have nothing
te do with the case.”
Yes, sir, “The Mikado” is to be
sung once more in Atlanta, and after
that perhaps “Pinafore,” and nobody
knows' but the “Pirates of Penzance"
‘may follow before the first snow falls,
i Could you imagine any more fun
than that?
Mrs. Willlam Lawson Peel is at
‘the head of ‘the movement, of course.
"Mrs. Peel has been trying to interest
‘the musical et in a light opera com
pany for several seasons, but every
‘body was so busy in war work it just
couldn’t be done.' But yesterday she
announced the organiaztion of the
Atlanta Opera Company, with the
Joseph Habersham Chapter, D. A R,
sponsoring the first production. The
next rehearsal is to be held Monday
night at § o'clock at Edison Hall.
Rehear=als have been going on quiet
lyor as quietly as a ‘‘Mikado” re
hearsal could possibly be held—for
several weeks, and now the time is
ready for trying on the costumes
from New York and finally fixing
upon the cast. Singers desiring to
enroll in the company will be wel
comed at this rehearsal.
Mrs. Peel—and several scoerof oth
er lovers and patrons of music—have
thought for some time that Atlan
tans’ musical ideas were like their
tastes in baseball. Instead of play
ing themselves, they hire others to
play for them. It's all very well to
bring opera companies and concert
stars to Atlanta, but why not have
a little music of our own? We have
plenty of “talent” and there are
plenty of light operas available—the
Gilbert & Sullivan list would supply
a company for a year, and then
there’'s ‘“The Bohemian” girl and a
dozen others.
The company is almost complete,
and ready -to present “The Mikado™
at the Auditorium-Armory. No an
nouncement of the cast has been
made, but the principals include some
of the most widely-known singers
and actors in Atlanta. ,
Associated with Mrs. Peel will be
