deavoring to help him so effectively
taht be will need no fyrther help from
others, The Associated Charities is
spending its best efforts, time and the
limited means at its disposal—THlS
IS FAR MORE DIFFICULT, but the
association is constantly trying to ac
complish it through the following
methods:
INVESTIGATION—By which we
mean a system of visiting and sym
pathetic inquiry, in order that we may
gain an accurate knowledge of the real
needs of each applicant. This is done,
not to find out, but TO FIND OUT
HOW TO HELP INTELLIGENTLY
AND EFFECTIVELY.
REGISTRATION is another method
used, which consists in keeping care
ful records of each case, in order mat
the knowledge gained may be avail
able in confidence, to others who are
trying to help the poor.
CO-OPERATION—In the endeavor
to accomplish the best work possible
along these lines thorough co-opera
tion of all existing agencies for the
relief of distress, in the city, has been
earnestly sought and, in most cases,
heartily given.
It has been well said that "Co-oper
ation between the charities of a city
Implies a knowledge of the needs of
the city and the part each Is to per
form In meeting these needs. It in
volves an Intelligent program of work
and a proper adjustment of the rela
tions of each charity to the others and
to the problem as a whole, all work
ing In concert for the PERMANENT
IMPROVEMENT OF THE POOR OF
THE CITY."
In order to obtain a more thorough
co-operation the Associated Charities
of Augusta urges each of its twenty
four organizations to send representa
tives to Its meetings arid cordially In
vites all charity organizations and
charitably Inclined Individuals to at
tend these meetings, study its meth
ods, and work with and through the
office.

SILL PENS!
FOR WIDIWS
Only Five Shillings a Week
For the Soldier’s Wife Who
Has Lost Her Husband in
War. s
London. —Five shillings a week to the
soldier’s wife who has lost her hus
band in fighting his country's bat
tles!
With this exclamation one of the
leading London papers attacks edi
torially the government's pension sys
tem which it says is due to the old
tradition summed tip in Wellington's
assertion that his troops In the Span
ish campaign were only "scum of the
earth." The war office, according to
the writer, fails to realize that times
are different now and the vast ma
jority of volunteers are men who in
civil life earned good wages in fac
tory, field, office and shop.
Indignation has also been express
ed in parliament, so that it is not un
likely some reform in pensions may
follow.
In the British army the pay of of
ficers and men is dependent on the
regiment. There is no standard scale
of pay as in America. Commissioned
officers, as a rule, receive a sum im
possible to live on—about $35 a month
such as the Scots’ Greys or the Gren
adier Guards they must be wealthy,
with polo ponies, valets and expen
sive uniforms. But in certain of the
cidonial troops doing police duty in
lands bordered by savapes, they get
as good pay as American officers and
do not have to keep up expensive
establishments.
$1.65 a Week.
The ordinary infantrymen in the
new volunteer army of a million men,
pledged to foreign service, are started
off at $1.64 a week, clear of expenses.
Married men are allowed in addition
separation pay for their families at
the rate of $1.90 a week for the wife
and two pence a day—or 28 cents a
week—for each child. In the county
of London they are given a further
sum of 80 cents a week, owing to the
higher cost of living.
All married soldiers serving abroad
are obliged to allot at least 85 cents
a week to their families out of their
own pay. Worked out on this scale,
the lowest sum a soldier's wife with
out children can receive is 23 shil
lings a week in the case of a warrant
officer, 22 for a regimental quarter
master sergeant, 16 shillings six pence
for corporal or private, if the wife
has four children to support, she will
receive, on the same scale, a sum
ranging from 34 to 22 shillings.
5 to 10 Shillings Pension.
Widows of those who die in active
service receive, from five to ten shil
lings a week, according to the rank
of, the husband. But the mass of
them will not get over five shillings.
An extra allowance varying from forty
to fifty cents a week for each child
is given, however.
While there are no government
homes for old soldiers in Great Britain
as In the United States, there are cer
tain homes maintained by private
charity. Of these, the largest and
most famous is in Chelsea, London.
The garden party given at the Chel
sea home for its benefit is one of
the big social events of London’s
spring season.
Much suffering was caused by the
government deferring the payment of
separation allowance to soldiers’ wjives
during the first two months of the
war. Not until October Ist was this
money put into the hands of the des
titute women. War office red tape
also held up pay allotments.

parts, featuring the celebrated actress,
Lyda Boreili.
The story of "The Naked Truth" Is
Intensely interesting. Here it is:
In the Latin Quarter of Paris lives
Lolette, who Is known throughout the
artists’ colony as the handsomest girl in
Paris. In spite of the fact that her
services as a model are sought after by
the leading painters and sculptors of the
city, she poses only for Armtind Bou
chard, a mediocre painter who befriend
ed her when she was left a penniless
orphan several years before UndcV
Bouchard's humble roof she lives the life
of the Parisian studio dweller, happy
and content, the idol of tier benefactor.
Pierre Bernier, a close friend of Bou
chard's and an artist of unusuil prom
ise, has seen a number of his best ideas
fail In practice because of ids lack of a
model In whose inake-u, both beauty
and Intelligence were combined in good
ly men sure, and finally lie succeeds In
persuading I: »uchard to consent to his
employing Lolette. And during the days
when his masterpiece is in the making
a passionate love affair springs up be
tween him and his pretty model. Then
marriage quickly follows. When his pic
ture wins the grand prize at the Halon
and is sold to h connoisseur for a funry
price, the two establish themselves in
a fine house in a fashionable part of
the city. Poor Bouchard Is soon forgot
ten.
As his prosperity Increases, Pierre be
comes more and metre ashamed of his
wife's humble origin and less and less
enthralled by her ebarmr Later he be
comes critinr’ in a love affair with
the Princess Dupont, a dilettante lr the
ream of art and a woman of great
wealth and established social position.
Ddette suspects, and when finally she
surprises the pair alone during the prog
ress of a ball which the artist Is giving
In honor of a notable success he ban
recently achieved, she Is certain that she
has lost tier husband’s love
Brought to their s by f/olette's
attempt upon her own life, both Pierre
and the princess resolve to end their
liaison, and at the bedside of the Wound

but the husband, although making uu
effort to appear once more devoted to
his wife, soon betrays his Innate »in

GS.BANKS READY
TO HELP FIRMER
National Banks Have Taken
Out Over Seven Million of
Emergency Currency; Ready
to Lend it on Cotton at Six
Cents a Pound.
Atlanta, Ga.—-National banks in
Georgia have already taken out more
than seven million of emergency cur
rency and are ready to lend It on cot
ton on a six-rent a pound basis. In
deed, many such loans already have
been made, and it is Mkely that thou
sands upon thousands of bales will be
retired this week.
Georgia, through its National Cur
rency Association, Is using 25 per
cent of all the emergency currency is
sued in the nine cotton states. Eight
•million dollars more will come to
Georgia as fast as it.is needed for the
cotton handling.
A statement issued by the executive
committee of the organization shows
that 02 of the state's 115 national
banks are members of the National
Currency Association and their re
sources entitle them to put nearly six
teen million dollars Jn circulation based
on cotton and com/hercial paper. More
than half have already availed them
selves of their full quota.
The difficulty just now, as shown by
President L. G. Council of the Geor
gia Bankers Association, Is that farm
ers are holding a great deal of cotton
on their farms, where it will suffer
great, damage by weather, and at the
same time It should he stored In ware
houses, certificates issued for it, and
creditors paid off. Farmers who are
thus holding their cotton privately are
clogging the channels of money circu
lation and at the same time running
the risk of losses through deteriora
tion. The fact that they borrow mon
ey at six cents ddes not mean a. sale
at tint price. They are at liberty to
sell at any figure they can get and at
any time they desire.
