Says She Needs Money For Boys
Home and Praises Light, Flow
ing Costume For Women.

NEW YORK, June 16.-Lady Con-
stance Stewart Richardson. who has
earned the sobriquet of the most un-
conventional woman in all England, -
will dance in New York swathed in
picturesque Arabian costume, consist
ing of brown and white draperies, in O
drama based on the biblical character
Judith.
For her two weeks work she will
receive $4,000.
The love for Oriental dress was
gained by Lady Constance while in
India.
1.-THE day will come when all wom-
en- will dress like those of Egypt and
India" she said. 1.-THE cost is nomi-
nal, and l am relieved of all worry
about the changing styles Then, too,
this costume is comfortable, and that
Is something that can not be said for
the modern attire favored by women.
And, also, I think that l am safe in
saying It is about as becoming as
most modern outfits"
Lady Constance has been implored
many times by her relatives, the
Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, not
to dance in public. But Lady Con-
stance said she needed the money for
a boys home in Scotland which she
is trying to help.

COOPER HAS WAY
To MEET FOOD
SHORTAGE
Chamber of Commerce Secretary
Urges Enlistment of 100000
Boys in Corn Club.

Secretary Walter G. Cooper. Of the
Chamber Of Commerce, Monday pro-
posed a way to meet the $4,000, 600
deficit IN the food supply Of Georgia.
He urged organization Of 100000 boys
in the corn clubs and thereby increas-
ing tenfold the work which already
has added $4,000, 900 bushels Of corn to
the annual crop.
Mr.. Cooper urges an immediate and
active State wide interest in the 1913
Georgia Corn Show as the most i'm
pOrtant step.
He says;
Leading authorities on the food
supply Of Georgia agree in the esti-
mate that the people sent out Of this
State last year 3172, 1876, 600 for corn,
oats, hay, meat, dairy products and
other food that should be raised here.
The cotton and cotton seed Crops
lack S37, 900 Of paying for the food
we bought; this in spite Of the fact
that the corn crop of Georgia has m
creased 25,000,00O bushels in five
years

No VICE HOUSES
IN FIVE YEARS,
SAYS CHIEF /

IN less than I'VE years every rec~
ognized house of vice in the United
States will be closed"
This was the statement made to-
day by James L. Beavers, chief Of po-
lice Of Atlanta. who returned last
night from Washington and the con-
vention of the International Associa-
ton Of Police Chiefs.
More time was allotted to discus
sion OF the social evil than in any
previous convention of the police
chiefs. Beavers said. Last Wednes-
day the whole afternoon session was
devoted to the topic Chief Beavers
made an address. and il was this Gd-
dress and the chiefs record in At
lanta which stimulated the discussion.
There has been a wonderful in
crease of sentiment among chiefs or
police in favor of closing these
houses" Chief Beavers said to-day.
This feeling was demonstrated AZ
the convention last week.
Last Wednesday the convention
used the whole afternoon for discus
sion Of the social evil. That was the
first time so much attention ever had
been given to this subject. The po-
lice chiefs are giving more attention
now to talking and thinking about
this question than ever before, and
the sentiment is rapidly growing in
favor of absolute suppression.
Some Of the chiefs in attendance
at the convention favored segrega-
ton, but all of them admitted the law
favored suppression, and that sup
preston was right The only ques-
ton seemed to be whether the laws
could be enforced, and the majority
sentiment was they could.
THE chiefs know suppression N
right, and after listening to the dis
cussions and studying the sentiment
manifested there, 1 believe IN less
than five years every recognized
house OF vice in the United States
will be closed"

is actually the case, the real reason
for the hot wave is that at present
there is high pressure over the State

erage yield Of corn went up from 10
to Is bushels in five years Georgia,
though, still lacks a great deal of
raising her food.
In the face Of wonderful improve
ments wrought by corn clubs in five
years, IL is hard to believe the state
ment that the cotton crop lacks S3T,
100000 of paying for food supplies
brought into the State; but these eS-
Inmates are vouched for by such men
as p. A. Methvin, State pure food in
spector, and II. G.. Hastings, chairman
Of the Chamber of Commerce Com
mittee on Agriculture.
"Of course, farmers raise some
corn, oats and hay, but they must
nave consumed what they raised 9TH
erwise they would not have to buy.
Georgia farmers, according to the
State Department of Agriculture, pro-
duce something more than $232.000.-
600, possibly $3.50, 100000 but when 1t
is remembered that farmers have to
buy mules, fertilizers, hardware,
clothes, school books and a great
many other things besides food, il is
clear that they have little left to pay
the enormous food bills indicated by
the foregoing figures.

What are we going to do about it?
"Ot course, we must make iHe

no reason why this should not be done
in Georgia
In addition to this, the State of

we can not have much in the way
Of animal products until we have
enough corn, oats. hay and forage to
feed the animals as well as the people.
IF we are short S5S,000000 in corn
with no animals to feed, how much
more corn will we have to raise in or
der to supply the present demand and
furnish food for 100000 600 worth of

no better. There is no more congo
