Unemployment may be considered a.

leather trades (the minus signs indLrat-
ing that the deficiency caused by mobili-
cation had been filled in part by the
accession Of work people not engaged
In those trades before the war). In

BY a special inquiry made In the sec-
ond half Of July II was ascertained that
8 o 100 women were employed in private
Industrial establishments engaged on
munition work. THEIR chief occupations
were turning, milling, drilling. counter
sinking. boring. stamping. chasing, wire
drawing, cartridge setting. cartridge NIL

in examining. At 1t. Etienne however,
they were employed In attending to ma

LONDON, Dec. s.-A big. in fact an

Canadian contingent managed to dislo-
cate traffic in Coventry street the other
night Just about theatre time. With a
woman and another soldier. he stood on
the south side Of the street waiting for a

apparently endless. as Coventry street is
probably one Of the most conEested
streets in London at just before s O'Clock
at night. The woman wisely declined to
take a chance n dart etwee the
vehicles as they sped on.
After waiting for several minutes and

He walked into the street with his

traffic instantly stopped. He then beck

sergeant again held up his hand and the

der and the woman passed safely to the
opposite sidewalk.
Meanwhile the policeman At the top
Of Haymarket found his traffic all mixed
up. Somebody was interfering with his
signals and orders.

" OR France-turn in your gold-gold fights for victoryy' This
l sentiment is expressed both in word and illustration on posters
seen everywhere in France urging the people to subscribe to the latest
war loan-"the loan Of victory" as it has been called. The Gallo cock
which adorned the banners Of the First Revolution. replaced the
heur de ls as national emblem in 1880 and has been depicted on the
gold coins Of the present republics pictured as having jumped from
his place in the centre to the lower edge of the twentyfranc gold
piece to attack the German soldier who is falling under the weight Of
French gold. Beranger wrote Of the "Coq Gaulois" q a defender Of
the republic. His verse, freely translated, is as follows:
The enemys eagle falls dying
Wearied by conquest's far call
Where waits the Cock Of the Gaul,
With might the invader defying.

THANKS TO MIR. HARRIS.

The direct and immediate value to
Georgia of having representation Oh
the federal trade commission is prov
en- by the decision of that body to in
stitute an inquiry into the high price
of gasoline in this state.
Appeals to the commission for an
investigation were made through
Hon. William j. Harris, of Georgia,
who was promoted from the director
ship of the census to a place on the
trade commission. Being a patrio-
tic and enterprising Georgian, Mr..
Harris needed no urging to induce
the commission to consider the mat
ter, since it lies within the proper
scope of the commission powers.
No relief may be obtained in the
gasoline situation, which is costing
Georgia thousands of dollars on ac-
count of the enormous advance in
price, but at that the people of this
state will have the satisfaction Of
knowing that it was one of her own
number who sought to assist them.

renting agent Fate brought the girl
to the same house and the two acct
dentalIy met on the stairs up which
she was carrying an arm full of gro
ceries. A paper sack burst and spill
ed potatoes which the hero restored
and thus came close enough to see
the girls face at close range. He
contriyed to meet her again and get
acquainted.
That brilliant but incorrigible old
maid, Gail Hamilton, described love
at first sight as two molecules CT
oxygen and hydrogen blending into
one and becoming a drop of dew in
blissful repose on the bosom of lily
instead of two sad and lonely ele-
ments roaming through space.
Mrs. Browning expresses the idea
of conscious love as when one "can
muse in a crowd all day on the alb
sent face that fixed you''-for Gu
pid thrusts his dart into a human
heart ruthlessly and securely as a
naturalist pins a butterfly to death.
So these favorites of fortune, fleeing
from each other, were caugth as
surely by the accident to the pota-
toes as if Love had sent his arrow
across a rose decked dinner-table or
on the strains of orchestral music.
After a few days as a sewing
machine operator in a shirt waist fac
tory the heroine of this moving pic
ture story returns to her queenly
mother and her elegant home and
the hero does likewise to his home
and mother
Then they meet again in the girls
home with their anxious mothers
looking on and the girl slowly recog-
nizes her friend of the East Side. 1t
is almost as thrilling to watch her
face as it is to see Pygmalion's love-
ly marble statue tremble into life.
The watching mothers beholding the
mutual attraction dawning on the
faces of their son and daughter
are delighted. 1t is really a case of
love at first sight and everybody is
more or less blissful as the darkness
obscures the lovely picture, even
those who depart into the night mus
ing on the poets lines,
UNLESS you can love as the angels
may,
With the breadth of heaven betwixt
you"

POINTS OF VIEW.

The convention of nut growers
meeting in Albany last week called
attention to the Importance Of nuts
as food-not as carried in ones peck
ct for occasional munching-but to
be served on the table in place OF
meats.
There are many xmas OF delicious
nuts but those dearest to our hearts
are the big hick-o-nuts that fall from
trees in forests primeval This is the
season to go hunting them On a sun
ny Saturday like today when the
leaves are turning red and yellow
and brown and drifting softly down
TO form carpet over the soft earth
1t is such fun to gather hick-o-nuGs
in the cool fragrant woods with birds
and squirrels whisking about just
enough to quicken your heart with
sympathy for these happy jewellers
in trees and hedges.
There is not any sweeter nut in
the world than these same Georgia
hicl-o-nuts that grow wild In the
woods. To be sure pecan are easier
to cultivate and to extract goodies"
from but some how a hick-o-nut is
like partridge compared to chicken,
with a delicacy and sweetness not to
no ayDroccad I'M words
1t is only when a man has reached
the season of the 'sere and yellow
leaf" in life he feels with James
Whitcomb Riley that:
"Hickernuts, a fellow hears,
Rattlin down is more like tears,
Drappin' on the leaves below"
Did you see that darlingest ro-
nance, Love at Sight, recently
shown at the Gem?
Two mothers ardently wished their
son and daughter to marry each
other and planned to introduce them.
Both were rich looking and
desirable as partners but each re-
sented having a life companion Sc
lected for them even by their devot-
ed mothers.
So the handsome young man and
pretty girl decided to effectually a.

pearing from their luxurious homes

BLINDNESS OF VIRTUE"
BOOKED FOR VICTORIA

Essanay's next great feature re-
lease through the V. l.. S. r.. Inc. is
THE Blindness of Virtue" This six
act photoplay is not only one of in
tense interest but it teacnes great
moral lesson. II is hooked to ap-
pear at the Victoria Theatre, in the
near future.
Cosmo Hamilton's clear vision saw
that one of the greatest evils in the
path of young girls was their total
ignorance Of the world and of the
fundamental truths of life and sex.
In his story, one girl goes wrong be-
cause she had never been taught to re-
alize the results OF her actions. An
other girl, the heroine of the story.
was brought up in a similar ignor-
ance. and was on the brink Of dis
aster when ner parents were awak-
ened by the other girls disgrace.
They saved their daughter in time
This photoplay points out the les
son to mothers who instruct their
daughters in the ways of the world.
And it poinrs out to girls themselves
the bitterness that comes after the
gay life of the moment.
All advanced educators have ap-
proved OF this photoplay for its moral
teachings. although there were some
Of narrow mind who criticized it for
its frank revelation Of the truths OF
life and love.
The play is clean and wholesome
and inspirine. Critics who have seen
il declare that no girl is too young
to see it. In fact IL is urged that all
mothers see the skew and take their
daughters with them so that both may
learn the lesson together one of the
pitfalls that beset her path, and the
other Of the necessity TO teach chill
dren of the dangers that beset them
The play is fun of thrills and
there is an underlying love plot that
grips the hearts OF all. No one can
| help loving The pretty, innocent little
Effie, the minister's daughter, whose
Ignorance leads her into indiscretions
from which she is only saved by tn,
fact that the young man with whom
she is in love. though she scarcely
knew the meaning of the word is Z
man of honor. No heart is untouched
and no eve remains dry when the
