REQUIRING RAILWAYS
TO SCREEN COACHES

To vary the monotOny of a dreary ses-
sion the senate today was guilty Of real
comedy while passing a bill to require
railroads to equip passenger coaches with
cinder deflcctors.
The Bill was the work OF Senator Har-
ris, of Cedartown. Its principal opponent
was Senator Morris. of Augusta Neither
was present VIXEN the measure was ap-
proved.
Senator Harris, who has been working
for cinder dehectors for two sessions.
sought to have his bill called up to con-
cur in house amendment. Senator Nor
ris objected.
The vaudeville team of Harris and Nor
ris retired to a smoking room to argue.
In the meantime Senator Felker calleI
up the bill and it was passed without OPP
position.
The bill requires all railroads operating
in Georgia to equip passenger coaches
with effective cinder delectors beginning
May /, 1913. Senator Harris said that
this is the law in South Carolina and
railroads entering Georgia have been in
the habit Of removing the defectors on
crossing the state line.

The compensation should be paid

demned the proposal OF President Taft
that the question of providing a single

tons Of the commerce court. 1t is
pointed out that judges who at some

Father @. \. Jackson, pastor of st.
AnthonNs has taken a firm stand in
the matter. He believes that these
yanites have no place in the ceremo-

the women are forbidden wearing such

Therefore, he has announced that in

his church, while the hobble skirt will
be greeted with equaDdisfavor.
1t is a deplorable fact that there
are many young women in Atlanta

and | mean positively to forbid such
dress in my church.
BY immodest clothing I mean the
clinging skirts and low cut or sleeve

81 think the women do not intend to
90 the harm their suggestive costumes
bring about They are vain-have
pretty shoulders, a beautiful neck or
shapely arms, and simply like to show
them. Fashions are formed by this
same vanity. New dresses are some
times introduced for no other reason
than they display the graceful lines of
a Woman's form-and a dress that does
this is always a popular one.
"A suggestive dress is more harmful
than a vulgar costume The latter
would arouse disgust in men. AS it is,
some dresses of the latest fashion bring
ideas of lax morals to the young men
who view them. That is why they will
not be allowed in my church. At serv-
Ice worldly thoughts should not be
aroused, and ! believe one Of the most
common causes for them is the dress
Of some of our women. They must have
the entire body covered with the cloth

if they wish a part in ST. Anthonys
