Heads Federation of Busi
ness Women,
The task-of framing a constitution
by which-Georgia business women will
be banded together for development
as significant factors in the world's
affairs, occupied the time of fifty
delegates to the Georgia Federation
of Business and Professional Women
which held the second meeting ‘of
the convention in the Chamber of
Commerce Agsembly hall Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock.
Mrs. Jullia Lester Dillon, of Au
gusta, a landscape architect of na
tional repute, who was named chair
man of the nomination committee at
the meeting Friday night, submitted
the list of officers decided on by the
committee, who were elected unani
mously. They were Mrs. E. A, Car

Mendenhall, of Atlanta, first vice
president; Miss Florence E. Cain, of
Athens, corresponding secretary; Miss
T. D. Barker, of Atlanta, recording
secretary; Miss Cornelia« Mayr, of
Macon, treasurer, and Miss Sarah
Stearn, of Macon, auditor. The board
of directors includes, besides the of
iticors, Mrs. Mary Jarrett White, of,
Tugalo Valley; Mrs. Dillon, Mrs. E,
G. Fleck, of Atlanta; Miss Mattie B,
Sheibley, of Rome; Miss Annie Mae
O'Connell, of Augusta, and Miss Stella
Akin, of Savannah. |
FOR 8-HOUR DAY. ;
The constitution, a draft of which
was prepared several days ago, was
then submitted to the convention, and
'p:\ragr;mh by paragraph was discuss
‘ull by the entire delegation. lYnani-‘
‘mously adopted was the clause calling
for an eight-hour day, though the
consensus of opinion was that when
they became interested in the work,
none of the members would be like
ly to stop by the clock., It was ex
plained that the object of the fed
eration was to provide sufficient time
after working hours when the em
ployed girls and women would have
an opportunity to make themselves
more proficient for their duties, and
for studies elsewhere,
Special emphasis is to be laid on
laws in the city, State and nation by
the federation, especially those in
iwmch women are concerned. An ef
fort will be made to have the Geor
lgm Legislature “take advantage of
the opportunity now offered for the
\pnannxe of the Susan B. Anthony
amendment” along with the first few
of the remaining States
| ALL FOR EFFICIENCY,
‘ “Efficiency” will be the watchword
of the federation. To this end a con
certed effort will be made this sum
mer to have the Legislature create the
office of inspector of business col
loges, whereby all business courses
may be standardized. An effort will
also be made to have laws passed
requiring girls and youpg women to
obtain more education before invad
ing the busineas world
An example of what women can do
:m shown in sidelights of some of
those in attendance at the convention
‘Mrn Mary Jarrett White, of Tugalo,
owns 1,800 acres of land, which she
oversees at a good profit each year
‘ln addition she runs a general store,
renl estate office, keeps house, looks
after her children, and, as she ex
pressed it, “Curses all week and
preaches on Sunday.”
. Mrs. A. P. Colby, of Savannah, is
owner of the A, P. Colby Company
fertilizing materials. Miss Mattie B
iMu-lblvy_ of Rome, is business man
ager of The Rome Tribune-Herald,
one of the oldest papers in the State.
Delegates will be appointed by the
newly-elected president to attend the
national convention in St Louls in
July, when the Georgia federation will
apply for membership in the national
assoclation. While one of the prime
efforts of the federation will be for
the recognition of women as an equal
of man at the polls, this is but an
incident to the main ideal—that of ef
ficiency. ~ 2

While Old Glory crackles in a cr?sp

Atlanta comes to the final lap of the

It was boys who had been Boy

help you put up the coin. They

Liberty Loans and the War Work

they have a little campaign of their

It's a modest little campaign, com

Superiority of U. S.

Airmen in France
Is Shown by March
(By Internatioan! News Service.)
- WASHINGTON, June 14.—The
superiority of the American air
men during the world war was
revealed in figures made public
today by General Peyton C.
March,. chief of staff, at his
-weekly conference with repre
sentatives of the-press. Ameri
can flyers on the western front
accounted for practically two
enemy machines for every one
lost, bagging 55 enemy planes
and 71 balloons to 357 planes
and 43 balloons lost to the Ger
- mans.
These figures, General March
emphasized, represent actual
known losses, He explained that
many German machines were
seen to fall in flames behind the
enemy lines, following combats,
but these were not included in I
the list because there was a pos
sibility that they were damaged l
only to such an extent that they
could be repaired and again put
into service.
“These figures,” the general
repeated, “show what we know
actually to have been totally de

EL PASO, TEXAS, June 14 —Alarm
that has been felt for several days
concerning an attack on Juarez by
Villista forces is receding today. Not
only has the expected attack failed
to materialize, but reliable reports
indicate that no considerable force of
rebels is in the immediate vicinity of
Juarez.
The belief is growing that Fran
cisco Villa has again played his fa
vorite game of threatening an attack,
dashing in for a few sharp skic
mishes and then withdrawing. Offi
cials of the Carranza garrison today
are confident that the Villistas will
not attack Juarez,
If the attack comes, the Carranza
commanders say, their forces are ade
quate to repel it,
It is reported that there are more
than 4,000 Villistas at Zaragosa, 13
miles from Juarez, and that the troops
are well armed and equipped, but this
report has no confirmation. Federal
officials claim the reports of Villa's
forces are greatly exaggerated.
