GIRLS CAN HAVE
FINE GOWNS NOW

The girls of the night sewing classes
at the Y. w. c. A. are bending their
energies toward designing the perfect
American gown" The movement to
wear home made" dresses, made by
''hOme talent" was started some time
ago in New York city, and the idea
spread like wIdfre Miss Christine
Sorensen, the originator of the idea in
Manhattan sent specimens of her de-
signs here for Atlanta girls to copy
and, if possible, improve upon.
while we are amateurs. one might
say, in such work." said Miss Daisy
Eckert, in charge of the work at the
Atlanta Y. w. G. A, today, yet We
believe that we can accomplish Won
derfu results in time from the ideas
sent as by Miss Sorensen.
This is a movement in which the
idea is put forth for American girls to
wear American dresses
1T may seem queer that we can buy
and make very presentable dress for a
title over Sc that could not be dupli-
Gated in the shops for $50 to $40, but
such Is the case.
1T is our idea to have Atlanta girls
take up this dress designing and MAX
ing course simply on account of the
fact that American girls as a general
rule do not look as well in French crea-
tons as they do in gowns made right
here in this country"

TRY THIS REAL
BRAIN TWISTER

A Georgian subscriber who signs
himself just that. has advanced the
opinion that people nowadays possess
very little ability for solving the old
fashioned arithmetical problems, And
to prove his theory, he has unearthed
a problem which, he asserts, will floor
four out of every five, college graduates
not barred.
Here 1t is. The subscriber says that
you can't reach the proper solution.
Can you?
Jim and Jerry go to market. Jim
buys 80 pounds of meat and Jerry buys
80 pounds of meat. Together they pay
the butcher IS. Upon examination, it
is found that Jim's meat cost him one
half cent per pound more than Jerry's.
What did each one pay the butcher"
The correct answer to the problem
has been furnished The Georgian by
the skeptical subscriber, who says he
worked it out himself successfully.
He is of the opinion that modern
school methods are wrong-that add
ing machines and business appliances
of all kinds have robbed people of their
former ability to turn mental hand
springs with little problems such as
this.
If you think you know how much
Jim and Jerry each paid the butcher,
mail your answer to The Georgian

A Staple Medicine
for An Families
From Infancy to Old Age a
Reliable Family Laxative
Is Most Needed--Try
This One

1t is inconceivable in this day of
general intelligence that any family
would be without simple remedy
for the minor ills of life, for often by
giving such a remedy in time a Sc
rious disease can be frustrated and g.
life saved.
For example, If at the first sign of
a cold a simple laxative tonic like DR..
Caldwells Syrup Pepsin were given
the beginning of a serious lung affec-
ton or Of a typhoid fever might be
avoided. And also in headaches.
nervousness, etc, a small dose Of this
remedy would relieve the congestion
and replace distress with comfort.
Mothers give 1t to tiny infants and
little children, and grown people take
it with equally good effect.
Thousands of good American
homes are never without it, among
them the home of DR.. George T. Hull,
Prop. Hull Drug Co, Prue, Okla. DR..
Hull has for a number of years rec
commended Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin in his practice and writes that
for stomach and bowel disorders,
worms in children and a general lax
alive tonic 1t has no equal" Syrup
Pepsin saves the health of the fam
lily, and it saves doctors bills. 1t is a
guaranteed cure for any form of
stomach. liver and bowel trouble,
constipation, indigestion, biliousness,
gas on the stomach, headaches,
drowsiness after eating, etc. Have no
hesitancy about giving it to any
member of the family, however young

Intervention Plea Is
Sent to United States
From Across the Sea
Lord Cheylesmore and Other
London Notables Say Time
Has Come to Act.

LONDON, Feb. 28.-Men in all walks
Of life, wherever the Mexican atroci-
ties are discussed, are surprisingly
unanimous in expressing the opinion
that the situation demands immediate
intervention by the United States.
What is a source of much wonderment
is why such a step continues to be de-
layed.
Il should say it was time for some
power to intervene" said Lord Cheyles-
more, chairman of the London county
council, and that power, of course,
must be the United States, not only to
protect her own interests, but those of
all the foreign nations
IF state of anarchy exists, such as
reported in the newspapers, surely the
United States is bound to take some
action"
Anthony Hope Hawkins the famous
novelist, holds similar views.
The whole situation is very deplor-
able" he said, but intervention is
purely a question for the United
States
Alan Burgoyne, a member of parIia-
ment, who stands high in the councils
Of the Unionist party and is looked on
by many az the next Conservative lead
er. said:
Il have been in Mexico and strongly
favor United States intervention there
in the interests of civilization.
Undoubtedly now is the time for the
United States to take hand in the sit
uation."

RAILROAD OFFICIALS PLAN
FOR COLUMBUS UNDERPASS

COLUMBUS. GA, Feb. 2S.-General
Manager T. S. Moies and Superintend-
ent ]. T. Johnson, of the Central of
Georgia. have just been to Columbus
discussing the underpass situation in
this city, which will provide for a sub
way under the tracks of the Central
and Southern roads.
For two or three years viaduct has
been discussed to eliminate the dan
ger at the crossings, but that scheme
was abandoned on account of the great
cost. Engineers have decided that an
underpass can be constructed at much
less cost to the city and the railroads
interested.

TAFT FREES BROKER
TO LET HIM ATTEND

Hopkins, who was a broker in Chica-
60 was convicted of using the mails to
defraud, fined $1,000 and sentenced to
four years and three months in prison
He had 81 days to serve
The sentence of Harold Saxon also
was committed to expire at once. He
pleaded guilty at Boston, November 10,
1910. to the theft of $500 of national

or old for it contains nothing inju-
rious to the youngest person.
A bottle can be obtained at any
nearby drug store for fifty cents or
one dollar. The latter size is more
economical and is bought by those
who have already convinced them
selves Of its merits. Syrup Pepsin
users learn to discard pills, salts, ca
thartics and purgatives generally, as
they are too great a shock to any
average system.
If no member of your family has
ever used Syrup Pepsin and you
would like to make a personal trial
of it before buying it in the regular
way of a druggist, send your adj
dress-a postal will do-to DR.. w. B.
Caldwell. AIT Washington street.
Monticello, Ill, and a free sample
bottle will be mailed you.

testimony in the election law and
state capitol referendum cases, which
was filed with the court today, fails
to settle definitely the date when the

whether or not the legislature had au-
thority under the constitution to pass
the concurrent resolution which au-
thoriZcd the speaker of the house and
president Of the senate to adjourn the
two houses on July 5.
His holding is that If the legislature
had authority to pas' such q resolu-
ton. the adjournment was on July ..
If not the senate adjourned on June

that on those dates, practically all of
the members OF both houses made
