URGES WOMEN AS

State Club Head lndorses Atlanta
.Federation's Petition to City
Council.

TOWNSVILLE, Feb. 2s.-The rec
ommendation to the City Council of
Atlanta by the City Federation of
Women's Clubs that a minority rep
resentation of women be placed on
certain municipal boards is approved
by Mrs. T. I. Fitzpatrick. Of this city,
president of the Georgia Federation
of Women's Clubs. In speaking OF
it to-day Mrs Fitzpatrick said:
Great interest is being taken in
this matter all over the State and
both men and women see the wisdom
of adopting such a measure. We
know that the best. safest and most
sanitary school houses and the best
managed schools are the ones where
women have a. voice in their con-
struction, supervision and care.
I'VE know that the women have
done most toward establishing libra
ries in the towns and in the schools
and that the women have worked
the hardest for proper hospital ar
rangennents In our towns and for our
sick children in State institutions.
Therefore, we believe that women,
carefully selected because Of their
qualifications 1to serve, on these
boards, will be of untold value.
Success l say to the Atlanta Fed

As a result moderate demand for
stocks was sufficient to cause advances
in many issues. The current report that
the Guggenheim Exploration dividend to

the rate of IA per cent year, caused
an advance OF y in the price of that
stock to 53k.

isome time, we may hope; to mediate be-
tween the powers and to help to mitigate
this disaster to mankind,
At the time when so many friends OF
peace have thought that we were making
real progress toward the abolition of war
this sudden outbreak of the greatest war
in history is most discouraging. The fu-
ture looks dark, indeed, but we should
not despair.
! God moves in a mysterious way His
/ wonders to perform. Now that the
war is a settled fact, we must hope that
some good NAV come from this dreadful
Iscourge. The armaments of Europe had
| been growing heavier and heavier, bank
lruptcy has stared MANY of the nations in
the face, conflict between races had be
gun to develop.
War seemed likely at some stage. and
the question which each country had to
answer for itself was at what time the
situation would be most favorable for its
success. The immediate participants have
decided that the time has come and
through their international alliances all
Europe is involved.
There has been no real test of the
heavy armament on land or water as de-
veloped by modern invention and this
contest is to show what has been well
spent for war purposes and what has
been wasted. 1t is by no means certain
that waste will not exceed in cost that
which was spent to effective purpose.
One thing I think we can reasonably |
count on is that with the prostration of |
industry, with the blows to prosperity, !
with the state of fux that is likely to /
follow this titanic struggle, there will be
every opportunity for common sense to
resume its sway; and after the horrible
expenditure of blood of the best and the
savings of the rich and the poor, the op-
portunity and the motive for a reduction
of armament and the taking away of a
to further war will be greatly
It is an awful remedy, but in the
end it may be worth what it costs. if it
makes this the last great war. The in
iuence of America can be thrown most
effectively for peace when peace is posi-
bis and for minimum armaments when
disaster and exhaustion shall make the
peoples and their rulers see
-hings as they are. MANOR RICHEIIRIr.
