Tells of Past Changes.

This being So 1t is clear that
the coal of the Antarctic continent
may have been formed from plants
which grew under conditions of eli
mate not very different from those
that now prevail'in Alaska. Any
how, IL absOlves us from the neces-
sity of assuming that the south
pole once glowed with tropical heat.
although we are still forced to be-
licve that the temperature. at least
around the borders of the Antarc-
tic continent. was formerly much
higher than it is at presents But
the change may be assumed to
have been far less than would be
implied by the existence of truly
tropical climate.
Then, the story of the rocks tells
us that in the past changes of eli
mate have occurred in recurring
periods. or cycles Tie precise
cause of these are not known. but
we seem to be warranted in sup
posing that similar changes may
occur IN the future II is within
the range of possibility, then, that
at some time-no doubt immensely
remote-the ice barriers of the
Antarctic continent may be so far
removed by change of climate that
vegetation can again flourish on its
borders, and in that case it might
become easy to delve among it's an
Cieut riches.
But, long before that time. man
kind will probably have passed be-
yond the coal age, and, if our more
immediate descendants are forced
to avail themselves of Antarctic
coal they will have To depend upon
themselves TO get it, and not upon
an alteration of climate to place it
WITHIN their easy reach.

agree is, when is the love time
of life? In the girls opinion. the
psychological moment arrives
whenever some good-looking youth,
with winning way with him, puts
in an appearance on the scene.
On the other hand, the parents
contend that a maiden should not
think of love and marriage until
she has prepared herself for the
responsibilities they entail, and
that there is no hurry about get

when you are married you are gen

She Runs a Great Risk.
a father who is arguing with his
daughter this eternal problem that
comes up between every girl and
her parents asks this question:
Don't you think that the aver
age girl Of 10 or 20 is very apt to
mistake infatuation for love. and
that to become engaged at that
age would be cheating herself out
of the happiest years of her life?
Do you not think that her judg-
ment in choosing a husband would
be much less apt to be wrong if
she would wait until she was "a or
% years old?"
am no believer in early mar
riages. l think that if no woman
married before she was % and no
man before he was so, it would ma
terially reduce the amount of do
nestle misery in the world.
There are enough risks in matri-
mony. anyway. without taking any
chances on what you are going to
be yourself and the kind Of a wife
or a husband you are going to want
when you come to maturity. And
that's what people do who marry
before their tastes have ripened

after five years of absence.
Ninety nine times out of a hun

mismated couple you will find out
that they were married when they
were very young. and one of the

other one picked him or her out for

this other fact: s.
For many years scientific mon
have been repeating the warning
that modern Industrial progress is

Vote for R. E. George
For Council From
The Fourth Ward
Veteran Proofreader's Announce
nent Is One Real Case of
Persuasion by Friends

The announcement that r. E
George had decided to enter the race
for Council from the Fourth Ward
was a surprise to the men who had
known him so long. He had stuck so
faithfully to his desk in the proof
room of The Georgian, reading col
umn after column of proofs, extract
ing the errors from the work of many
men, that 1t was hard to realize he
had any aspirations toward public Of
fee. And inquiry showed that Gene
George was actually persuaded by
his friends" All candidates say that
profess reluctance to enter public
life and all that sort of thing-but in
Genes case 1t was true.
Those who know him best believe
there are few men in Atlanta better
fitted to represent his friends and
neighbors in the body which con-
ducts the city's affairs. The life of
Atlanta, as written for the press, has
passed under the eye of Gene George
for many years. His pencil has made
its marks on the announcement of
their births, their marriages, their
deaths. He knows many hundreds
intimately He knows many thou
sands by their comings and goings,
their sorrows and their joys. The
Dry of his city, its people, it's poll
tics, its advance, its very pulse, has
been spread before him, chapter aft
er chapter, for more than a decade.
But Gene George is more than Just
a steady going, faithful and remark
ably efficient worker. He is a good
Albanian, a good neighbor, a good
church member. There has been
nothing undertaken by the people of
his nelghborhood in which Mr.. George
has not had a part-and usually a
part which meant hard work.
The people of the Fourth Ward
who know Gene George need not be
old Of his energy, his unfailing in
tegrity. his plain common sense, his
steady determination always to do
the right thing at all costs. He ought
to be elected.

BEAVERS WILL
STAY AS CHIEF,
SAYS JACKSON
Writer of Men and Religion Move
meDt Ads Hints at Recall
Of Saloons.

Intimating that the reforrners may
utilize, the recently adopted initiative,
referendum and recall to carry into
effect reforms they have in mind,
particularly the recall of certain near
beer saloon permits, Marion NJ. Jack
son, secretary Of the Men and Re-
ligion Forward Movement and author
of the famous bulletins, issued state
ment Saturday afternoon in which he
vigorously defended Chief of Police
James L. Beavers.
Jackson declared emphatically that
there is not the slightest chance that
Chief Beavers will be recalled under
the new law, and declared that the
moral forces of the city would enlist
to recall the man who tried to dis
lodge the Chief.
The near-beer saloons against
which Jackson intimates a fight may
be started, he declared, are located
on the street that leads to the Bap-
fist Tabernacle and the Young Mems
Christian Association.
Jackson characterized the recall as
the death warrant of those traps that
are at the bottom of nine-tenths Of
the crime and unhappiness in At
lanta."
He cited the case Of Seattle to
prove his contention that the recall
works in favor of the moral forces
and not in favor of the advocates of
an open city"

HARPER'S Halls
ATLANTA'S VICE
WAR A SUCCESS
Weekly Cites Lesson Taught by
Chief Beavers in Editorial
in Recent Issue.

Atlanta's success in it's war on the
social evil is hailed as exemplary in
an editorial in Harper's Weekly of
last week.
The editorial is headed "Neces-
sary" 1t is a declaration against
the argument that prostitution should
be tolerated as essential It reviews
the history of the fight waged in At
lanta by Chief Beavers and by the
leaders of the Men and Religion For
ward Movement, and follows this
with the briefer statement of sim
liar crusades that are being arranged
elsewhere.
The editorial is as follows:
Atlanta is one Southern city of
considerable size which has de-
clared that prostitution is not a
necessary evil The campaign for
the closing of the houses of pros
titution was the outcome of the
Men and Religion Movement. 1t
began in June, 1912, with a series
of powerful and convincing bull
letins, published as advertise
ments In the daily papers, pre-
pared by Marion Jackson, a tai
ented young lawyer of the city,
John ]. Egan, chairman of the
executive committee, financing
the work
The facts were first disclosed
by an investigation In which ev-
cry woman of the underworld
was interviewed. The usual OBJ
Jections to the suppression Of the
houses of prostitution - that
women would be scattered else
where, the streets would be in
tested, and the hotel degenerate
into houses of assignatlon-were
discounted by the established fact
that these supposed results of
suppression were already album
dainty evident beforehand.
Four months after the publica-
ton of these bulletins began,
Chief of Police Beavers closed the
houses; the women were cared
for, many of them gladly leav-
ing their old life, and one Of them
giving $4,000 toward the estab-
ishment of a Martha's Home,
where fallen women are taught
how to support themselves hon
estly. State laws and municipal
ordinances were found to be suf-
ficient, once public sentiment was
aroused, to the support of a cour-
ageous official, and 1t is asserted
that the evils supposed to be in
creased by suppression have ac-
tually decreased with due dill
gence on the part of the police.
