it would be well to get the county
primary out Of the way before the
Shriners came to town. so that the
newspapers would not be crowded at
that time with the statements of can
didates making uncomplimentary re-
marks about each other.
Other Action Advised.
Mr.. Brannen's idea was that May 5
was too near. THE candidates won't
have time to get ready by then" he
argued, possibly from personal infor-
nation, as Mr.. Brannen is a candl-
date for the job of County Tax Col
lector.
Moreover (Mr. Brannen Said, the
county could save $4,000 by ANAL
gamating its primary with that of the
State in August. This date was made
into a motion, but nobody seconded it.
Then Mr.. Brannen tried for June l.,
instead Of May 5. George M. Hope
seconded this motion, but it was voted
down by a large majority
In speaking against the amalgama-
ton date, Committeeman Howell said

Observation-Disclosures Craze Is
Weakening American Women,
Asserts DR.. Ng. Poon Chew.

Dr. Ng. Poon Chew, of Canton,
China, and San Francisco, where he
represents his country as Consul, who
came to Atlanta from the East early
this week for the Atlanta Bible Con-
ference, said Saturday that he con-
sidered women's fashions. as they
prevail to-day in the United States,
one Of the most prominent indica-
tlons Of degrading tendencies noted
by him since his fifteen years stay
among the American people.
DR.. Chew is an exponent of Christi
anity in his own country, and stated
that he hoped he would never see
among the Chinese women who had
accepted the Gospel through his
teachings the adoption of the in
decent" dress he has witnessed Of
late on the streets of some big Ameri-
can cities.
Women in America have told me-"
said DR.. Chew, that these varying
fashions are brought upon them by
force, and that the acceptance of a
questionable dress by a few is more
or less Of a command upon women
as whole to approve of the latest
fad and initiate themselves on styles,
probably in the great majority, not
of their own direct choosing. In this
follow one another craze in dress.
the American women show the only
element, Of weakness l have noted in
them. They are otherwise given more
freedom, and have more initiative
than any other women in the world"
Were the women of China to take
up this expensive dress of the Amer
lean women" he continued, the Chi
naman of average means would hard
ly be able to buy the patterns, much
less the material for their makeup"
DR.. Chew speaks fluent English. He
has a family residing in San Fran
cisco and is educating his children
in American ideas. He says, how
ever, he will not permit his daugh-
ters to follow the late American dress
fashions for women, and that they
are quite content to adhere to the
mode Of dress in vogue among women
when he first came TO the United
States Is years ago
