Atlanta, Feb. 10. - "Re.ormers for
Revenue" of whom there are numbers
in Atlanta, were severely scored by
Rt. Rev Thomas F. Caller, Bishop OF
Tennessee, who came to Atlanta yes
terday to attend a meeting of the
board of regents of sewanee Uniyers-
ity.
Bishop Caller takes exactly the OPP
posits view of the social evil to- that
taken by the sensational writer's Of
reform bulletins in Atlanta who de-
clare that most women who fall and
take up the profession of shame are
innocent and helpless victims.
q have studied the question of the
social evil for years and have talked
with men who made it a lifelong
study" said the bishop, and I have
interviewed many of the women them
selves, and it is my conviction that
very few women enter such life
without knowing fully what they are
doing, and doing it because they want
to, and not because they are forced to"
Bishop Caller declared that the ma
jority of crusaders throughout the
country, as salaried agents and secre-
taries of elemosynary institutions were
keeping up a continual agitation about
something simply because they had to
make a showing of earning their
money

Atlanta, Ga, Feb 19.-Ray Fortney
has never seen an automobile. W.
IT, Childs has never seen a piano. eYt
Fortney is a marvelously liable ex-
pert in repairing the intricate parts
OF an auto engine, and Childs can re
duce piano to junk heap and then
put it together again in perfect con-
dition Both men are blind But both
have keener vision in heir finger
tips that most humans have in their

Childs is one of the best known

beloved by large circle of friends.
He is an intimate friend of Paul Done
hoo, the blind coroner, and the two
are often seen together on the street,
arm in arm, the blind leading the
blind, but they never fall in ditch,
for there is not a sidewalk in the city
where they cannot go confidently ami
safely, alone and unassisted.
Childs, who is a splendid musician,
is credited with an almost miracul-
Gus sense of hearing. 1t is said that
in walking along the street he can
snap his fingers as he walks and can
tell by the sound not only how far he
is from wall, but can tell when
he comes to door, and if the place

means the presence of lamp-post

Almagamating Manchuria.

Picking, Feb. 19.-As part of the
administrative plans for strengthen
ing the ties between the various prov
inces and Peking, the three eastern
provinces, composing Manchuria, are
to be united, with Kwangchantze as
the capital. 1t is estimated that Man
churia yields an annual revenue of
$18,150,00 which will be sufficient to
meet all provincial expenses and sup
ply a surplus available for the central
government, under proper economic
supervision. Hitherto, the three pro-
vinces of Manchuria have been a con-
slant drain on the national treasury.

Dallas, Tex, Fab. 19-The question
of how to effect economy at the table
and yet live we'll continues to be
pressing one Times are hard because
prices are high and incomes have not
increased. AT this time OF the year
household bills seem to soar and the
perplexed wife and mother wonders
just where all the money goes" a wo-
man writes. "She is careful and does
not waste, but nevertheless, it would
seem that the weekly or monthly ex-
pendtture is far more than it should
be.
Where the income has the pleasing
resiliency that seems to stretch to
cover all deficiencies, then such things
need not be worried about. But this
desirable quality is not found in a
salary which is just so much, but no
more, and which seems to have an IN
ortunate faculty for falling behind in
the race, so that its substance is spent
long before it has arrived. Then when
this happens and becomes a chronic
hibit, man and his wife are apt to
look at each other with some alarm.
At such a time there should be no
delay in looking into the matter seri-
.ously and carefully, as a physician
diagnoses case and tries to ascertain
the cause Of disease, studies the symp-
toms and in time effects a cure.
