the jurist as bad citizen.

pushing her way through the crowd,
but I have to chain Homer to a chair
to keep him at home. He won't go to
school, and I won't let him run the

Homer quickly admitted that he had
been going to school only when he felt
like it for seven years, and had only
succeeded in reaching the second
grade, but he came through the math-
ematical examination given him by the
judge with flying colQCs.

Atlanta Athletes VIII Go in for Equine Sport
POLO CLUB is PLANNED


Atlanta men are planning something
new in sports for the South--a polo
club, with ponies, grounds and an or
ganization which will include some of
the best known society men and horse
lovers in the city
I'VE have been talking it over, and
while our plans are still in embryo, |
believe a charter for the Dixie Polo
club will be applied for soon, and we
shan start with membership of about
sixteen men, said one Of the prime
movers today. He asked that his name
be not used. and was reticent about
the proposed club saying there were a
number of reasons why publicity would
be premature
\ first team of eight men will b.
composed Of prominent lovers of out
door and rugged sports, according to
the men behind the movement for the
club. A tentative list includes Ed AL
friend, Gus Ryan, Eugene Haynes. Jo-
seph Brown Connally. Bowie Martin
Winship Nunnaly. Clark McMichael
and r. G. Congdon.
The club proposes to have a string OF
about twenty Montana mustangs
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-10-26

for polo ponies Some of these will be
purchased from the ranches which make
speciality of training polo mounts for
the big clubs in the East and the Eng
iish army clubs. while Others will be
raw, unbroken mustangs. These will
be trained to follow the ball by the local
enthusiasts.
The management of Ponce DeLeon
park has been asked to rent the grounds
for polo practice, but it is said the use
of this park will be refused, as polo is
an extremely rough game, and the po-
MES hoofs cut the turf badly The park
department probably will grant the us,
of the >oval in Piedmont park for pole
practice and it is expected that the
polo club win late~ be given the use OF
part of the grounds of the Athletic
clubs country home or those of the
Brookhaven club. Challenges will be
issued to the polo eight of the st
Louis Country club and to the Chicago
Polo club, it is expected. those organi-
cations being comparatively new in the
field Games with the Meadowbroob
and other famous organizations of the
East Will be considered after the Dixie
club has tested its strength against less
formidable adyersaries

COMMITTEE ASKS FOR
MATERIAL TO FINISH
OLD WOMEN'S HOME

The building committee in charge of
the large annex to the Home for Old
Women has progressed as far as it can
without additional gifts, and today
made public request for material to
complete the work. Funds are avail
able for labor, but the committee needs
deadening felt, building paper, plaster
plumbing material, paint, roof paint, tin
roofing and mantels.
The material for the annex has been
contributed by public spirited persons
and most of the building has been COM
pleted. The home has long been over
crowded and the annex will provide
room for number of women badly in
need of such a refuge. The building
committee is composed of Walter P

Why is clubwoman?
Mrs H. c. White, of Athens.
president Of the federated women's
clubs Of the state. answers the
question as follows:
LAS president Of the Georgia
Federation Of Women's Clubs, I be-
lieye that the mission Of the club
Woman is not to secure 'Woman's
rights or suffrage, but to help
Womankind in ry-day things, to
fit themselves and their neighbors
for their responsibilities old and
new
Whether she will or no. the
modern woman has. of necessity,
become her sisters keeper. 1t may
or may not add to her value as a
member of her race; it may or may
not add to her efficiency as a citizen;
it may or may not add to her in
dividual happiness All this de-
ponds upon the spirit and the man
ner in which she meets the de-
mands upon her and the extent to
which she keeps inviolate her es-
sentially womanly qualities of
modesty, gentlenes1 and conscien-
tious self-sacrifice.
But it certainly adds to her du-
ties and burdens. For-whatever
may betide in the evolution of So
ciety-Woman will continue to
have, as she has always had, chief
part in the preservation of the in
tegrity of the fundamental unit in
any social system-she must be
the keeper of the home of her sis
ter and her brother; she must be
the keeper of the children of them
both.
There are some who believe that
organized womanhood is merely
engaged in a propaganda for the
securing of a larger measure of
what are designated as Womans
Rights These may we'll excite

To Beautify Vacant Lots.

Vacant lots will prove more valu- able from a viewpoint of attractive ness if nothing else is the idea of manager of San Bernardino (Cal) insurance loan and land company, who is making arrangements to set out thousands of deciduous fruit trees on the lots owned by the company, in various parts of the city.
 These lots are at present barren in many respects, and through the plant ing of the fruit trees the appearance of the lot will be very much improved. Not only that, but it is figured that it will be more attractive to the buyer, and the results to buyer and company alike will be much greater.
 It is the plan of the company to set the trees out and to have competent horticulturist to care for them while they are adapting themselves to the soil in which they are planted. From ten to twelve or more fruit trees will be planted on each lot.

YANKEE JOCKEYS IN EUROPE
Nany Knights of Pigskin, Unable to Make Living in United States,
 Popular in Old Country.

Y The restriction placed upon racing m the United States has caused our greatest jockeys to go abroad The knights of the pigskin were unable to make a living here and they migrated across the pond to the turfmen that were eager to pay them princely sal. aries. This season there will be on the race tracks of England, France, Germany, Austria and Russia the fol lowing American jockeys: Danny Ma her, "Skeets' Martin, Frank O'Neil, Johnny Reiff, Winnie O'Connor, J. Archibald, J. Sumpter, D. Winfield, Guy Garner, Eddie Dugan, Milton Hen ry, Nash Turner and Willie Shaw. The average sum that each jockey will re- ceive will be $12,000, or an aggregate amount of s156,00O. .e==4e.
 Frank O'Neil was the most success ful jockey in France last season. He rode for William K. Vanderbilt. D'Neil's work placed the Vanderbilt racers high up on the winning list. Frank won 153 races out of a total of 695 mounts. He won the most valu able race in France, the Grand Prix de Paris, worth about $38,000, and wound up his notable achievements by capturing the Doncaster St. Leger.
 ], Although in the matter of winning mounts O'Neil was at the top of the list of jockeys in France, his success in the percentage line was not close to- the record of Johnnie Rpjff who won one race out of every four. O'Neil will again wear the white and black colors of Vanderbilt this season.
 Reiff's success last season was bril- liant. He won 1f5 races out of total of 46S mounts. He was largely re- Gould's horses. The Gould stable won

Busiest Hen in the Country.

While it is not possible to state the exact average production of eggs per hen in one year it is conseryatively estimated. in. the United States to be about seventy. By improved methods of breeding, feeding and selection birds have been found with actual in- dividual records of 200 to 257 eggs a year.
 Only one hen has been found at Cor nell that laid as high as 257 eggs in a year. but this one example of the de- gree of perfection to which the breed ers' art has attained is valuable for the pace it sets for others to follow and surpass. The net profit obtained from the sale of these 257 eggs amounted to $5.06.-Christian Herald.

SECOND BASE MADE FAMOUS.
"Pop" Anson, Old Time Leader, Tells Story of Players Who Have Won
 RenoWn at Middle Station.

Pop Anson, the great old player, re- 1ates the following story:
 -Four men have made second base famous" says Anson. "They are Lar ry Lajoie, Johnny Evers, Eddie Collins and Fred Merkle.
 "The kind of work they have done to make second base famous differs. Merkle's is far separated from that of the other three. Merkle made it fla nous by forgetting it.
 But Merkle had nothing on Kelly. Why, Kelly would often forget to touch it. He would cut across from first to third when he thought he could get away with it.
 Whenever we would start a series away from home Kelly would get in his best work. Of course, they had only one umpire then. and if he hap pened to see Mike cut second and called his attention to it, Mike would pass the matter off by quietly explain ing that the park was new to him and he did not know where second base was located"
