jjOttiE EQUIPS VOLUME XIX. No. 95. Society Mr. and Mrs. Taft to Occupy Box At 1920 Greater Minstrels In response to an invitation sent by the laities of the Wilhenford and tne members of the 1920 Minstrels, to Mr. and Mrs. William Howard Taft to attend tho presentation of their minstrels during their visit to Au gusta. the following reply was receiv ed yesterday: New Haven, Conn., April 2nd. Mr. and Mrs. Taft accept with much pleasure the kind invitation to at Monthly Meeting of Woman’s Club The regular monthly meeting of the Augusta Woman's Club was called to order Friday afternoon by the presi dent, Mrs. W. N. Benton. This was, perhaps one of the most enthusiastic meetings of the year. Reports from the different departments were given, showing the work they are doing These reports were very complete, especially so were those of the civic and public health departments, which are so interesting in their united ef forts for the better sanitary condi tions of the city. In fact, each mem ber ot the club, and we may say the women of Augusta in general, are heartily in co-operatiou with mis work and each one is trying to vie with her neighbor in cleaning up. Those in charge of calling on the peo ple this week will receive a hearty welcome. These ladies are not lot inspectors but will simply call, at the first door and leave their card. ’Tis most encouraging to see the in terest with which the colored people are co-operating in this work and the heads of the different colored organ izations have assured us that they, too. are working to render all assist ance possible and if the housewives will give their employes a half holiday during tliis week our efforts will not have been fruitless, and on Easter we’ll have the satisfaction of know ing that some good has been done for others and we’ll all hall Clean Au g"SA Short Talk by Major Butler. The Conservation Department ot the Woman's Club are to be lated on their instructive and inter esting program Friday afternoon, when the cluh members in generai, and their guests, were entertained by a few films on the butterfly and bird life followed by an informal talk by Major Butler on bird life, its speciali zation and conservation. How few of us know tha„ there are ten thousand ’ arieties of butterlies and that there are about eight hun dred varieties of birds in our locality. Major Butler’s talk was very in structive and listened to with the most intense interest by large number present. There was a leas in it for all, cut especially one that the mother of the small boy could take home with her. Public Health Repsrt. . Mrs Greenville Talbott as eh 3 - I * - " man of the Public Health Department submitted the following fine report: Evervthing now is clean-up, and since our last meeting we have made an Investigation of the unsanitary outskirts of Augusta. A committee from the department with the chair men made a survey of these parts, where there was no sewerage. The committee were Mrs. T. E. Oertel, Mrs. J. Wilie Levy, Mrs. W. N. Ben ton Mrs. A. H. Brenner. Mrs. E. B. Baxter and chairman. After exact localities oT these places were report ed to the chairman she in turn made a report to the board of health and asked so“ the chaingang during the “clean-up” week so that come mem ber of the committee from the depart ment could be present while the work ■was being done. The mud hole re ported by Mrs T. E. Oertel on Cot tage Street, has been looked into by the board of health at their last meet ing. and they have recommended to couneil that nrompt action he taken to eliminate this nuisance. They re ported as emergency work, and urge that council consider it as such. For some time the department has been working to have a trash dump removed in Summerville that has been reported as a nuisance by num bers of citizens. This dump is within the city limits, which is a violation of the city ordinance. Miss Emma Do zier and the chairman visited this dump pile and found it quite as much of a nuisance as had been reported. Miss Laura Benet of this department, was then appointed as a committee of one to interview Mr. Wingfield on the subject. She asked to have the dump removed or to be disposed of in some way. At our last committee meeting Miss Benet reports that Mr. Wingfield intends to have an inciner ating plant in operation not later thon the middle of April o rthe first of Mav. to dispose o Tthls menace. In regard to dodgers, for the ’ clean up" week, the one that has been printed for the Woman’s Club were distributed, as was requested by the health department In every store and house on Broad Street. About 600 were used in this manner. The agents of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company distributed 2.000 or more dodders, not only among tho P°'l c y holders, but they have reported that they went from house to house ana are most interested and are doing this work most cheerfully. Everywhere can be seen trash of all descriptions sorted into the streets for removal. Everybody seems to be "cleanink-up” and we hope by Tuesday we have met with the hearty co-operation of everybody who has been asked to assist us. Mr. Koch, of the Bonita and Modjeska, when asked by one of our voluntary workers. Miss Julia Moore, for sev eral days used the entire dodgers on the canvas at his two picture shows, thus putting the fact that the city was to be cleaned the first ten days in April before every patron of the picture shows Mr Spofofrd. of the Augusta-Aiken Com: any, cheerfully ron.-ent“d to allow the dodgers to he used in the street cars.

We feel that we will have very little trouble in carrying out the work as it uas been planned. LOUISE B. TALBOTT, Chairman Public Health Committee.
