THE BEULAH HOME.- saw al


article written on Beulah Charity
Home, an article condemning when
it should haVe~been cOngratulating
the home and the work which is car
ried on there. I know nothing OF the
financial conditions between the
home and the said girl Margaret, but
every girl or woman who goes there
should give the home something If
they are in a financial condition to
do so, in order to help keep the home
running for other poor unfortunate
girls who have fallen. And if the
man in the case Che isn't fit to be
called a MANI had any principle about
himself he would see that the home
was paid besides the allowance given
the mother for her child.
However, if the home is good
enough to shield her when she is in
trouble, after her trouble is over
should she not praise the home for
what was done for her and her baby
instead of knocking it? No girl is
given a task which she is not able
to perform. Should she become too
Ill to do the WOrk given her she Is as
signed an easier task and a stronger
girl gets the work she was unable to
do. No girl works the entire day. If
a girl works all morning she doesn't |
work in the afternoon. If she works
in the afternoon she is free during
the morning hours.
The Day Book spoke about poor
rations. How do the girls expect |
luxuries when there are so many to |
feed? Who is to meet the butchers |

gist's bills? Is it not enough that |
they get plenty Of plain food? There
is no need to go hungry. If a bit of |
food doesn't appeal to their appetite

will give three cheers for Quinlan. He
counseIed our whole membership at
II that Sunday night. And don't for
get Mayor Thompson; he stayed with
us all night; he forced the Bees to
yield at last and said that we were
right. And also John G. Kennedy,
who led the council fight; he said
that none but union men could run
the cars that night.
AS contented men we run our cars
with honor and with pride; the spot
tiers with their blue slips, they now
can shut their eyes; we men now all
are honorable; Mayor Thompson
gave the prize, with two four on now
on the lead and there some honor lies.
A lad of nine he tried to find a

he'd paid; he called up VIM. Tabor,

they were locked up for low wages
they were paying. Mayor Thompson
said he would try and release the cars
that very night and told the anxious

"BOATS FOR WOMEN"
CRY OF LONDON
Representatives From America
Cannot Get to Peace Confer
ence at the Hague.

LONDON. April 2o.-"Boats for
Women" Is the modified war cry Of
the seventy or eighty women delegates
to the Peace Conference of Women at
The Hague. 1t is inspired by the sud
den discovery that they are unable TO
reach Holland because of the lack of
steamships to take them over.
The delegates intended to cross the
North Sea in two parties on April
25 and 26, respectively. and all personal
arrangements had been made. Now pas
senger service from Tilbury and Har-
w,Ch has been interrupted owing to the
war and, according to the Daily Mail
correspondent, there were insuperable
difficulties to the chartering of a special
steamship. Vigorous agitation by the
disappointed delegates is probable. but
is unlikely to solve the problem.
1t is understood the government is
not opposed to the departure of the
women. and the foreign office Is will
ing to issue the necessary passports, sub
ject to the new regulations, but the
trouble is about ships. Shipping agents
are emphatic In declaring that boats for
the purpose are unavailable, so the dele
gates may have to hold their own little
peace congress here in England.

Two former ambassadors. speaking
before the General Alumni Association
of George Washington University. at

American diplomatic service as mucn

Other distinguished speakers advanced
the equally startling theories that the
American schoolboy has too many
weeks each year to loaf; that a broader
general education Is needed for the
successful naval expert of the future.

useful purpose.

Marshall Says Frank
Is Innocent; Believes
He Will Get Clemency

NEW YORK. April 2n.-Louis Mar
shall. Of 81 Wall street, who secured
Franks final appeal to the Supreme
Court and who argued 1t there on Feb
ruary Is last, again declares his belief
in the mans innocence.
The only recourse that remains to
U.s." said Mr.. Marshall. lis an appeal
to the governor for executive interven-
tion. 1t would seem that when two
such eminent judges as Mr.. Holmes
and Mr.. Hughes vigorously dissent
from the decision of their fellows the
governor can hardly deny our prayers.
To one who Is so confident of
a shocking thing that this boy should
be in his present situation. l am as
sure of his innocence as OF that of a
man who had never been in the state
Of Georgia And time will show that
Frank is guiltless."
Mr.. Marshall's application of Decem-
Der "A last to Justice Lamar for a GER
tifcate Of probable cause for an appeal
to the Supreme Court was the ninth
attempt to save Franks life since his
conviction on August 25. 1913. Seven of
these attempts were made In the courts
OF Georgia; two Of them in the Supreme
Court of the United States Three
times in the course of these proceed
tngs sentence of death was passed on
Frank.
Mary Phagan's murder. for which
Frank was convicted, occurred two
years ago next Monday in the penc'
factory In Atlanta where she was en-
ployed. and OF which Frank was su-
perintendent. Frank was brought to
trial on July 2S before Judge L. S
Roam, who died in New York month
ago today. He was convicted on Au-
gust 2s, and the case, which had at
tracted little attention outside Atlanta
soon became one in which the entire
country found lively interest

CANCER, BR|GHT'S AND
HEART DISEASE RISE
Census Report Shows Declining
Death Rate From Phthisis,
Typhoid, and Diphtheria.

Rising death rates due to heart disease.
cancer. and Brights disease, and de-
cline I'm deaths from tuberculosis,
typhoid fever and diphtheria are signii-
cant features of a report on mortality
i'm the registration area of the United
States ,by the Census Bureau today.
More than half the deaths in 1913. the
Census Bureau reported. were due to
nine causes. tuberculosis, heart disease.
pneumonia Bright's disease and nephri-
lis. diarrhea and enteritis. cancer,
apoplexy, diphthcria and Group. and
typhoid fever tuberculosis. heart dis
ease and pneumonia alone were respon-
sible for more than 30 per cent of the
mortality reported in 1919
The census figures show that the
gains made in checking the tuberculosis
death rate have been lost In increasing
mortality due to heart disease. or or
sanic diseases of the heart and endo-
Cardtis.
Heart Disease Climbs.
In nine years, from 1904 to 1918, the
mortality rate from tuberculosis fell
from .OO.7 to i41.6 per 10000 of popula-
ton. The mortality rate for heart dis
case in 1900. the first year for which
census statistics were gathered, was
1231 per 100000 as compared with POI Q
for tuberculosis in that year. From this
climbed to 147.1 per 1000 In 1913, just
a fraction below the tuberculosis rate.
The increase in cancers death rate
was less marked The mortality rate
rose from SO per 10000 in. 1900 to 7Sy
In 1913. ut is probable, however" the
census report says, that at least part
OF this increase was apparent rather
than real. being due to more accurate
diagnoses and greater care on the part
of physicians in making reports to the
registration officials
Brights disease was credited with a
mortality rate in 1919 of 1929 per OooO
as compared with 50 per 10000 in 1900.
Decline In Diphtheria.
bipthera and Group. which caused
43.3 deaths per 100000 in 1900, were credit
ed with only ISIS deaths per 10000 in
1913 This decline of nearly ~ per cent
is relatively greater than that shown
by any other important cause OF death.
Deaths from typhoid declined from
35.9 in 1870 to 179 por 10000 in 1873
Typhoid is the one disease among the
nine charged with the highest mortality
where the death rate is higher in rural
than in urban communities. "Th fact"
the census report says. may reason
ably be construed as a further indict-
m"ht against the open well. especially
when equipped with the poetic. hut in
sanitary. 'mOss-covered bucket "
