COOPERATION URGED IN
ORGANIZATION .MoMAN'S
COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL OF
NATIONAL DEFENSE.

Oftentimes when subjects of peril
nent interest and facts of special sig
nificance are presented repeatedly
through our columns with the request
that our readers take notice and do
the things as club women we are ask
ed to do, the question arises: do the
women read the papers as they ought
to-" or "Do they comprehend that the
messages are sent to each individual
club woman?"
Repeated publicity has been given
! the plan for the greatest organization
of women ever established in this
country-the woman's Committee of
the Council of National Defense. Still,
the response to the call for co-opera.
tion in Georgia has not been what it
should be- This is our governments
business and what is demanded of
you is your individual concern. Heed
you must. but the manner in which
you heed reflects upon you, your
state, your nation.
Under the direction of the Georgia
stateI chairman, Mrs. Samuel Inman,
OF Atlanta, details of state organiza-
ton are now under way, and full pub
licity of these details are given out
through the state publicity chairman,
Mis- Isma Dooly Mrs. z. l. Fitzpatrick
is vice chairman for Georgia.
1t is suggested that there be depart
ments of registration food production,
food conservation and home econom-
les, women in industry, child welfare,
maintenance of existing social agen-
ces, education, home and foreign re-
lief, safeguarding of moral and spirit
ual forces.
The general method of organiza-
, ton for a city or town is the same as
for the state. The officers of the state
division shall appoint in all cities and
towns a competent woman to serve
as temporary chairman. Her work
is TO call conference of all presidents
Of all LEGAL organizations and this con-
fercn will elect an organization COM
POSED of the. usual .oiFcers. In all
towns this organization shall be
na ned Gown unit of the woman's
committee In cities of more than
g 900 it shall be known as the Wo-
mars Committee of the Council of
Na.iCnal Defense of (name of city,
the city committee shall at once es-
tGblish auxiliary units in each ward.
/ The ward organization conference
chculd be q general meeting of the
women of the ward, the idea being to
reach all women Of every class and
make the defense program compre.
hensible to all.
The plan Of organization merely
links together in complete working CO
! operation existing organizations OF
women
1t is also desirable that no defense
work already done shall be lost and
60 to coordinate activities as to elimi
nate duplication and overlapping.

THE DAYS OF 40
are protrayed in the latest aircraft picture
Romance of the Redwoods''

AS an attraction extraordinary the
Palace theatre will present Mary Pick
for in a new Artcrft picture, "a Ro-
nance of the Redwoods," staged I'M
der the personal direction of Cecil
B. DeMille.
A Western subject of fuIl-blooded,
dramatic action, the new Pickford
vehicle presents Little Mary in a
role that is entirely different from
anything in which she has ever appear
ed on the screen. The story was writ
ten by De Mile himself in collabora-
ton with Jennie Macpherson and dis
closes a wealth Of typical Pickford
incidents of heart appeal. The set
tings are of the days of 40 during the
time of the big gold rush. Mary Pick
ford, as Jenny Lawrence, a little New
England Miss, journeys to the west
in search of her only relative, an I'M
Gle. Before she is aware of it, she
falls in love and as a result, becomes
enmeshed in serious complications.
Various clever twists to the story af-
ford surprises that add greatly to the
general merit Of the picture.
