INSURRECT|ON FUR

ATLANTA, Ca, aug. 1.-THE an
nual insurrection of members of the
Georgia house of representatives
against the rules of that body is now
under way-with the difference that
the insurrection this time is not con-
fined to handful of individuals, DIS
appointed because their pet legislation
is about to be lost in the closing rush
of the session, but is widespread,
aroused, organized and determined
movement, backed by enlightenment
among the folks at home.
The rules of the Georgia house are
practically the same as the old rules
of the national house, which enabled

CROWD WATCHES
THROWN
AWAY IN GIRARD.

GlRARD, Ala, Aug. 11.-An after
math of the famous liquor seizures
here occurred today with the destruc-
ton of beer, whiskey, wine and other
intoxicants estimated to be worth
SaO0,00O The contraband was de-
stroyed by order of the Circuit Court
of Russell county, an order to so dis
pose of the seized liquor having been
issued there several days ago.
A large, but orderly, crowd Of peo-
pic tired watching the deputies monot-
onously breaking beer and whiskey
bottles again the warehouse walls, the
liquor being then poured either upon
the ground or into pipes emptying be-
meath the surface of the Chattahoochee
river.
Most of the liquor destroyed today
was, apparently, the property Of five
men who had not fed when the orig
iaal search warrants were issued and
raiding in Girard under military pro-
lection began. Since the raids, the
sheriff of Russell county, in which
Girard is located, has been impeached
and removed from office, and other Off
cials have been indicted in connection
with the illicit traffic here.
A vast quantity Of liquor still re-
mains in warehouses here, awaiting
court orders before being destroyed.
Much of this was seized by officers
since the original raids startled all
Alabama and brought to light such
tremendous quantities of liquors of ev-
cry description stored in every conceiv-
able sort of hiding place in Girard.
Only few case of liquor seized in the
original raids remained to be destroy
ed after the deputies completed their
work today.
John T. Cakes, city marshal of Gil
rard, was arrested by Georgia authori-
ties today at Columbus, on warrant
sworn out by representatives of the
attorney general of Alabama He is
charged with accepting bribes in con,
nection with the illegal triffic in liquor
in Girard He waived extradition and
was handed over to Alabama deputies
here, later being carried to the county
seat, at Scale, Ala. His trial will not
be had before Circuit court convenes,
4 month hence.

WILSON MAY De
CALLED ON WITH
TIE LABOR FOLKS

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-After deliber-
ating the greater part of last night, the
United States Board of Mediation and
Cancellation today was no nearer a So
luton of the deadlock in the dispute
between the four railroad brother
hoods and their employers. The board
at noon today announced that the
railroads had refused to grant any con-
cession other than to submit the dis
PIte to arbitration, while the brother
hoods stand unequiyocably for the
eight-hour day and time and half for
overtime.
After endeavoring to bring the war
ring factions together without result,
the board early today requested rep
resentatives of the four brotherhoods
to grant twenty-four hour delay in
the effort, and later it was reported
that if no solution is reached at the
expiration of that time the board will
suggest to President Wilson that he in
tervene, using his good offices to bring
about settlement without strike ac-
tually being inaugurated.

THE FORWARD LOOK.

Let me but live from year to year,
With forward face and unreluctant
soul;
Not fastening to, nor turning from
the goal;
Not mourning for the things that dis
appear
In the dim past, nor holding back in
fear,
From what the future wells; but
with whole
And happy heart, that pays its toll
To youth and age, and travels on
with cheer.
So let the way wind up the hill or
down,
Though rough or smooth the jour
ney will be joy;
Still seeking what / sought when
but boy.
New friendship, high adventure, and
a crown,
l shall grow old, but never lose
life's zest,
Because the roads last turn vii
be the best.

COOKING ALL THE
FASHION.

It kA011ONs
Fashion travels in cycles. All
that one has to do to prove is to
place Godey's Lady's book by the
side of a modern fashion pamphlet
and divest the latter of the shell of
devilishness, both in its art and its
literature, with which it is incrusted.
The ladies portrayed by the Cooley
fashion artists and those of modern
creation are sister not only under the
skin, but are sartorially clad with a
similarity that is striking.
But sartorial fashions are not the
only ones that go round and round
in a circle, coming back ultimately
to the place where they started.
Fashions in school curricula are like
wise subject to a similar reversion.
Time was, only a little while ago,
when young lady who went to be
finished" would have been indig-
nant had she found out that a part
of her days work was to be spent
in learning the difference between
broiling steak and boiling an egg,
says a writer in The Ledger. One
of my own friends was so highly, so
thoroughly finished in one of these
schools that she has been a source of
extreme unhappiness to her family
and herself ever since.
Her people, who had acquired a
great deal of money in remarkably
short time, as is the marvellous way
with money makers in this country,
wanted to give her the best that the
land offered. The school to which
they wrote for information was so
exorbitant in its prices that the fond
father imagined it must be the ne
plus ultra of what such a school
should be.
Helen was enrolled. Helen had no
voice, but an attempt was made to
teach her to sing. The accompanist
who played for her during practic-
ing time charged So an hour. Now
Helen was very handy with the
needle, but she was not permitted to
indulge in this talent. 1t was thought
bourgeois, and the school provided a
seamstress at so much an hour To
darn the socks of the pupils and
string the ribbons through their lin
gerie.
Helen who could lisp a little
French, sing a few chansons in g
painful soprano, dance the latest
steps and TALK parlor patter, coulC
neither cook nor sew when she was
finished" Of course, she married &
poor man.
But judging from the school ads
of 1916, cooking is in again. You
remember Owen Meredith's contri.
button to this subject:
We may live without poetry, musi,
and art;
We may live without conscience anC
live without heart;
We may live without friends; vi
may live without books;
But civilized man cannot live with
out cooks.
He may live without books-what /
knowledge but grieving?
He may live without hope-what i
hope but deceiving?
He may live without love-what i
passion but pining?
But where is the man that can liv
without dining?
The author of Lucille" had tn
right idea. Cooking is important
Fifty years ago no young woma
was considered finished unless sh
could launch successful meal an
manage an entire household. Indeed
she was finished, so far as the me
were concerned, if she couldn't d
this.
Now many persons claim that tn
primary reason for the existence G
the finishing school is that youn
women may be taught the fine art @
