WIFE OF GOE InAlS
LIKES The PANAMA
American Women There Most
contented, She Says She
Compliments Uacle Sam.

That the American woman at Panama
is the happiest. most contented creature
on earth is the opinion Of Mrs. George w.
Goethals, wife of the boss Of the canal
zone. She is now visiting In Washington
and talks freely Ct the situation at Pana-
ma. She thinks the isthmus. or at last
that part Of 1t owned by Uncle SAM is a
splendid place to live and can hardly wait
until her return.
1.-The American woman at Panama is the
most contented and happy woman that I
know" said Mrs. Goethals. This Is be-
cause the manner OF life at Panama re-
lieves her of petty worries. Uncle Sam
buys for her the best In the market and
sells 1T TO her at cost; SO she lives cheap
ly, while the women back home are wor-
rying about high prices Uncle Sam classi-
fies his employees in such a way that you
have but to see the house in which
given family lives to know the salary
of Its head Thus everybody lives frankly
for what he Is"
First Lady"
In her position as first lady" Of the
canal zone Mrs. Goethals has been called
upon to act as hostess for many famous
personages. She entertained Colonel
Roosevelt when he was president Twice
has she received and entertained Mr..
Taft-once since he became president
and she has entertained all the cabinet Of
f1cers in her Panama home. There is
hardly senator or congressman who has
not lunched or dtned with her. Diplomats
OF all nations have paid their respects,
and the greatest engineers of the world
have slept beneath her roof in the house
at the top OF the divide through which
Culbera Is cut
Il have been away several months and
can hardly wait for my return home"
Mrs. Cocktails said. II want to go over
every foot OF ground and see every new
step taken In the building of the canal.
will be glad to get back to my home with
its great screened porches, Its lovely gar
den of tropical flowers and the sound Of
the engines coming up from the cut.
Benevolent Despotism.
This distinctive features OF Panama
life come about through the supervision
that the government has over all things
in Panama. Practically everybody on the
zone works for the government. The
homes are government built, and the sup
plies are bought at the commissary.
There is certain class of house for the
81 200 emp!oye, another for the 81, 800 man.
still another for the 5000 man. and 80
on through grades. So there Is no posi-
bility OF sailing under false co1ors in these
matters, and there is no possibility OF one
household being able to Guido another
IL IS lesson IN enforced rranknesS That
is probably taught in no other commun-
ity OF this size in the world
when the canal is completed ard we
are all sent back home 1t Is probable that
we will more fully realize the troubles that
we have been avoiding having benefit
cent Uncle Sam to look after all oar
household worries. 1 am sure also that
we will be at a loss as to how to deport
ourselves among our sisters who have not
had this rigorous course of enforced hon
est living"

Sarah Bernhard on the Decline o.
British Art,
Sarah Bernhardt in the Strand

Sarah Bernhard in the Strand.
I have been very close observer
of the English stage ever since I first
made my appearance in London at the
years ago, and can say, with the
firmest conviction that my facts are
right, that since those faraway days,
from the point of view OF real art, the
English theater has made rapid, far
reaching strides for the better. To
tail of stage work the English theater
today is in a stronger position, artis-
tically, than when first I made my
bow to London audiences.
Methods Of production are greatly
superior today; numerically speaking,
actresses today than, let me say, 20
to 80 years ago. The atmosphere of
the theater is more faithful to the pol
icy of true art; all round, indeed, the
dramatic art in England appears to be
in more f1onrishing condition than 1t
ever has been before.
When first made the acquaintance
of the English stage there were not
fifth Of the places OF amusement in
London or in the provinces that there
are today. And yet have observed
that although theaters and other
places Of amusement have within re-
cent years been springing up, might
almost say like mushrooms, so sud
denly have they made their appear
ance, yet, withal, in every case, new
ventures seem to thrive and prosper
in manner which must be truly
gratifying to their promoters.
Those who profess to believe that,
artistically speaking. the dramatic art
in England is on the decline can know
little Of their subject. AS one who
has ever been q faithful student of
the methods of English playwrights
players. and play-producers, 1 most
emphatically state that i consider
Electrically speaking, England is

LLOYD GEoRar-ANp RELATIONS.
From Strands Magazine.

David Lloyd Georges relations have
played a great part in his life. 1t IS,
indeed, perhaps the most inspiring fea-
ture Of his private life that all his fam
lily seem to have formed themselves
into a league for his advancement. His
uncle was In the truest sense second
father to him. His wife has never
thought anything sacrifice which has
helped to win him fame. His brother
then junior partner in the firm Of
Lloyd George and George
ingly did the work Of two in the early
days OF the senior partners career,
when his parliamentary duties took
him away from the of1ce for a great
part Of the year, and long before he
had been able to give up his profes-
sion and devote himself wholly to pol
tiles. Mr.. Lloyd George. on his side.
has always regarded his family at
Criccieth as partners with him IN an
enterprise which has happened to throw
him into the light Of publicity while
they have remained in comparative OBJ
security. He has never grown away
from his old home.

Lovers Unique Devotion.

An unusual manner in which a
lovers devotion was shown occurred
at Zurich, Switzerland, recently. A
cobbler, whose sweetheart died, APP
prenttced himself to a stonecutter in
order to execute fitting tribute to
her memory, and after fourteen
months he was able to carve beau
tiful rose on a marble slab and write
beneath: Such was She" After it
had been erected over her grave he
returned to his first trade, and now
repairs shoes as before.

and 1t Is claimed that practically it is a
dead letter. The laws for the protection Of
forests. for the advancement Of agricui-
ture are fairly we'll carried out, because
they provide for responsible officers to
look after their enforcement; but while
the wild creatures and the products Of
nature are cared for. the coming genera
ton OF men and women are only acade-
mically sheltered under the aegis of tho
state.
In the two cities toward which criticism
is specially directed, the superintendent
Of schools and the chairman of the pru-
Dental school committee are the only per.
sons under the law who can issue working
permits to children Of school age. They
may do this under one of two laws, the
school law and the child labor law. and
they, invariably choose the former, it is
said, because of it's greater elasticity and
because 1t places the permitted children

NOW'S ATLANTA'S TIME
TO REALIZE HER HOPE,
THE BLUE PRINT CIT Y"

Fundamentals are accepted rules that
have become reconciled by mutual
agreement. No question is understood
are heard
1t is difficult to define truth, because
truth to one man may not be truth to
another, and yet both may be right. 1t
is the same with wrong However,
there are two universally recognized
spirits in this world that are diametri-
cally opposed to each other. They are
called Good and Evil. Whatever their
source may be we shall not attempt to
explain. 1t is sufficient for us to know
that they are here.
Power Of Good and Evil.
on the side of Good we find right
eousness, justice, tolerance knowledge,
love and happiness. On the side of
Evil there are ignorance, superstition,
intemperance, misery and selfishness.
The individual who rubs against the
destructive forces and overcomes them
with Good grows stronger with every
stroke. The one who forsakes the voice
Of the conscience grows weaker.
Now, some people argue that certain
evils have prevailed since the days of
Moses, and will ever prevail. Not so.
Nothing is done as it was in the days
of Moses The world has progressed.
Science and religion have come to the
rescue, and by the force of an eniight
ened public opinion we restrain our
brother from harming himself-in a
way that, like pebble cast in a pool,
would leave an ever widening circle of
misery, harming others also.
We congratulate the gentlemen Of the
Chamber of Commerce that they nave
taken the affairs of our beloved city in
hand-as the whole city is stirred by
recent events. Let's eradicate the old
landmarks and have new, clean beau
tiful city rising again like Phoenix
a blueprint city, with lines drawn and
definite plans made for all time, that
even the women will approve of.
And can you guess what the blue
print man will do the very first thing
He will take in the whole of Fulton
county, and EXTEND ALABAMA
STREET TO THE RIVER. Have you
ever been on Sunset avenue? 1t is as
far from the center of town as the
Georgian Terrace, but you can go
quicker to Roswell or Marietta. Try it.
