PRICE OF THE DRINK is UP
OR SIZE OF THE DRINK is DOWN

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 24.-Soda wa
ter fiends are up against it in Atlanta,
as some of their fayorite drinks have
felt the effects of the increased cost
Of living.
Of course one can still buy an ice
cream for nickel, but it's not nearly
so large a saucer of cream as it used
to be; and if one is fond of ice cream
soda he is likely to discover that the
ice cream portion of his drink has
been considerably curtailed, not to
mention noticeable insufficiency of
sweetening in the syrup.
Sugar has joined hands with cotton
in the latter's balloon ascension, and
the increased price of this commodity,
which forms the principal basis for a
great many soda fount drinks, is quite
naturally reflected in one of two
ways
Either the price of the drink is up,
or the size of the drink is down.

GIRL SODA DISPENSERS NOW
THE FASHION IN ATLANTA

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov 24.-Another
step has been taken in Georgia in the
feminist movement, based on the idea
that women are just as capable as men
and sometimes more so, to engage in
the business and professional occupa-
ions once regarded as belonging strict
ly to the other sex.
Atlanta now has girl soda dispensers,
who have taken the place of men at a
rumber of downtown stands, and who
are possibly the first in the United
States, outside the women's depart,
ment stores of the large eastern cities
About two years ago some local thea.
tres tried out the plan of having girl
ushers in uniforms, and the plan work
ed with Indifferent success, succeeding
in some places and failing in others,
so that the new experiment is being
watched with interest.

The STATE INTER-SCHOOL
SUBJECT DEBATE FOR 1917

The question for the state inter
school debate among the high schools
of the state for 1917 is as follows Re
solved, That Georgia should adopt
constitutional amendments fixing mill
taxes in both state and county for pub
lie school purposes as expressed in
the Persons bills. Any school desir-
ing to take part in these debates should
notify the president of the Congress-
ional District High school association
before the first of December, as the
tfiangles will be arranged Immediately
after that date. Over 100 schools de
bated last year. The question for the
year is of vital interest to the states
development and for this reason alone
every school should take part in order
to bring this question before the peo-
pie.

SEAB0ARD MAY RUN
NEW LINE Of ROAD

The Seaboard Air Line railway NAV
build line between Macon and At
lsnta, This is a rumor, according to
a story in this mornings state press,
as follows:
That the visit of the eastern and
northern financiers, together with gem
eral officials of the Seaboard Air Line
railway presages the extension of the
Seaboard from Macon to Atlanta,
thereby giving the Seaboard contin-
uous line from Atlanta to the sea,
at Savannah, is the opinion of many
well informed people in Macon.
While the fnanciers and stock and
bond dealers who made up the party
here yesterday were not discussing
that phase of their visit, the impress
ion was definitely left with great
many people that they came here with
that object in view.
The Seaboard already has line
from Savannah to Macon, the main
line connecting with the Macon, Dub
lin and Savannah railroad at Vidalia,
and by building from Macon to At
lanta, it can be in a position to be-
come a bidder for the lease of the
Western & Atlantic, the road from
Atlanta to Chattanooga, owned by the
state of Georgia.
Should the Seaboard construct the
Macon-Atlanta extension, the line will
in all probability. be laid on the north
side of the Ocmulgee river, there al /.
ready being two roads, the Central OF
Georgia and the Southern, on the
south side.
