ASHIONS are taking a very i'm.

now. The extreme conditions
bring about a great deal of discussion
and they are altogether being con-
sidered very seriously from a great
many points Of view. That there Is
much to cause adverse criticism in tho
.extremes Of the modes. no one can
doubt. We are constantly seeing un-
fortunate exhibitions but happily it
can be said that they are the few and
the great mass Of well bred woman
kind refuses to be indecently clothed.
Recently we have been treated %
newspaper interviews from all the
Partisan designers and it seems quite
evident that they are playing upon
feminine weakness and extremely
doubtful that any Of these bizarre
creations are worn by the French
grande dame. As matter of course.
itisgood business for these good people
to put forth sensational models It il
our fault IL we accept for daily wear
what never was intended for any
thing but exhibition purposes. To be
well dressed. one must be becomingly
dressed and gracefully dressed and
thar law must stand. let faohion change
as they may. The best models only
verify the truth Of that statement.
The absurd little minaret tunics or
over skirts wired to stand always from

.HIXON HAS NEW
PLAN To PAY
TEACHERS
Would Amend Constitution So
States Bonded Indebtedness
Might Be Increased.

Senator J. T. Hixon proposed a
constitutional amendment Tuesday,
making the prompt payment Of school
teachers salaries an eMgency for
which the States bonded indebted
ness may be exceeded. Beside Sena-
tor Hixon's signature on the bill were
the names of several other Senators
who believe the payment of school
teachers salaries a paramount duty
the State of Georgia should promptly
perform.
Section u, article 7, of the consti-
tuition provides the State debt shall
never be exceeded except to repel in
vasions and for kindred causes. Sen
ator Hixon's bill provides for the in
sertion Of the words, and to enable
the State TO pay the salaries of school
teachers promptly"
The bill was referred to the commit
tee on constitutional amendments.
After a prolonged debate the Sen
ate reconsidered it's acceptance of the
invitation to visit Augusta in body
on Wednesday. July 16, and changed
the date to Saturday, July 10.

Miss Mamie Abel Hays, Soprano,
Says Every City Soon Will
Have Its Classic Singers,

That Atlanta soon will have
grand opera company of its own is
the prophecy of Miss Mamie Abel
Hays, coloratura soprano, who has
Just completed a three years study
for the operate stage in New York
and now is spending a short vacation
with her parents at 65S Edgewood
Avenue.
The day of American opera is just
dawning," said Miss Hays at her
home Monday afternoon. There is
more and more demand for American
operas with American singers, and
believe the time will come, and soon,
that every city in the United States
will have its grand opera.
Every Town Has Company.
'In Germany and other European
countries, almost every town and city
has a municipal opera house and a
local opera company. The American
people are more broadened in their
tastes each year 1t is only a matter
of short time until they will demand
classic music, and when they do they
will get it.
Il think the main thing necessary
to making a success, next to the
good. Many singers, after spending
years in studying, take the first en-
gagement that is offered them. And
the majority of them spend the rest
of their lives singing small parts.
Foreign Trade mark Useless.
Competition has entered the op-
cratic field. There are three grand
opera companies in New York, and
the formation OF more is contem-
plated. 1t is no longer necessary for
the American singers to go abroad to
make their debut, for the American
people are getting educated out OF
their habit of looking up to every
thing that is foreign or that has made
a success abroad.
Il think we have as good teachers
in America as abroad, and those with
ambitions to be singers truly make a
mistake if they go abroad to study
unless they have at least prepared
here"

the writ The hearing will be held in
Judge Ellis court. Mr.. Graham an
nounced that he would ask subpenas
for Jim Conley and Leo NJ. Frank.
Solicitor General Hugh NJ. Dorsey
said Tuesday he was confident the
State would be able to defeat any at
tempt to get Newt Lee out of the
Tower, where he has been confined
since April q, first as a suspect in
the Mary Phagan murder case and
later as a material witness. He said
he had advised Lees attorney not to
take the action, as the negro was re-
garded as an important witness in
making a complete chain OF evidence
against Leo NJ Frank.
Defense's Attitude Secret.
The plan of bringing COnley and
Frank together may meet an insur-
mountable obstacle when 1t comes to
getting the permission of Franks at
torneys. The law allows an indicted
man to testify or to refuse to testify.
Frank has been willing to appear as
a witness at any time, but he has
placed himself under the instructions
of his lawyers and the matter is en-
tirely in their hands.
Attorney Rosser is out of town, but
Reuben Arnold, associated with Mr..
Rosser in the defense, said Tuesday
that no thought had been taken Of
the possibility that Frank would be
asked to appear in the habeas corpus
hearing. and that, therefore, he could
not say what the attitude of the de-
Tense would be.
The sentiment Of the new Grand
Jury, which is said to favor an in
vestigation into the Phagan mystery
with a view Of indicting COnley, also
opens a most interesting possibility
in that the defense will be called upon
to make known for the first time the
evidence which it has against Con-
ley.
Rosser Guards His Evidence.
Luther u. Rosser, chief of counsel
for the accused man, has stated pub
licly that he believes the negro, and
not Frank, guilty OF the terrible
crime. He has narrated a number of
suspicious circumstances that point
| to the guilt of Conley. but he has
carefully guarded the contents of the
| scores of affidavits in his possession
which are said to weave the strongest
| sort of a net about the negro.
! II an effort is made by the Grand
| Jury to indict Conley, Attorney Ros-
| ser as well as members Of the de-
! tective department, probably will be
| asked to lay their evidence before the
| jurors for an impartial determination
| Of whether It is sufficient to warrant
| the action.
This will be the first time the de-
! Tense will have been led into any show
/ of its real strength. Every attorney
working in the interests OF Frank has
| closed his lips tightly when ques-
| toned as TO the really vital pieces OF
| evidence in the hands Of the defense,
| 1t IS regarded as likely, however.
| that they will welcome this opportu-
| nifty to assist in the indictment of
the negro, particularly as their evil
| dence will be given behind closed
doors and in the presence Of men
| sworn to secrecy.
