that of his manager, Muggsy Taylor de-
spite the fact that Muggs turned down three
bouts.
When Tillman won from white in Phila-
delphia there still remained many skeptical
fans and promoters, one especially in New
York. When Johnny came right back and
repeated, this time in ten rounds, even
though he was knocked down twice In the
third round every one was willing to admit
that White was an outsider
Then Muggsy Taylor got the tip that a
New York promoter wanted Tilman for a
bout with Ted-Nld Lewis And II was a
good tip, too. While negotiations for a
Tillman-Lewls bout were going on, Taylor
could see no other bouts, and for that rea-
son other offers were thrown into the
basket Then Lewis upset everything by
turning his nose toward the setting sun and
following II. Now Ted-Kid is on the coast,
and If Tillman is to box the Briton 1t will
have to be for four rounds somewhere In
California.
ENDDIE McANDREWS now wants

yunk boxer, since joining the colors with

Kell: Eddie has a victory over Tillman,

BEAVERS VICE SQUAD
PUT ON SHOW IN COURT

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 5.-James L.
Beavers, Atlanta's famous police chief
who was fired from his job because he
closed the Red Light district and there
by gave offense to certain influential
interests in the city, and who was re-
Gently re-instated in his former office,
is running true to form with general
shake-up of patrolmen among the va
rious watches and with a renewed
campaign to stamp out vice and wick
edness in general.
One of the chiefs first acts on re-
turning to the uniform was to send a
squad of men to raid a variety theatre
IN Decatur street where he under
stood chorus of very thinly clad young
women were putting on dance that
would make a pirate blush for shame.
The vice squad pinched the show and
rode the girls down in the auto patrol
and yesterday they faced Recorder
George e. Johnson.
The latter is nothing if not curious,
md he wanted to know exactly what
sort of a dance they were having at
the theater in question, before he I'M
dertook to pass justice upon the case.
Accordingly he directed the leading
lady of the chorus to put on perform
ance in thecourt room, which she did
with great eclat, causing such commo-
ion about the bulls" and the hangers
on that the recorder experienced some
difficulty in restoring order.
The recorder enjoyed the dance so
much that he declared he couldn't see
any harm in it.

the bread.
The practice of making hot biscuits
for every meal is usually much more
wasted than the use of light bread
since the slices of light bread "left
over" can be made desirable to every
number of the family in the shape Of
toast or pudding-the left over bis
cults can not be so used, and mostly
ind their way to the garbage can.
With these few suggestions, the Fed
eral Food Administrator for Georgia
submits the task to the Georgia house
wife, confident that she will enter into
the spirit OF this cooperation and rea-
lie that the wasting of loaf Of bread
or a pound of flour in her home as a
practice may change the destiny of
mankind.

TO WOMEN
TO help SAVEF FOOD
GEORGIA FOOD ADMINISTRATION
AT WORK FOR GOOD.


The Federal Food Administration
for Georgia appeals to the G. oorgia
housewife for continued cooperation
with the government in the saving of
food.
The aim and object of the Fec, IL
nlinistration is, first and foremost to
conserve the supply Of wheat flour so
it will last until the 1918 crop will re-
iieve the shortage. Unfortunately the
1917 crop of wheat was unusually
short, when considering the great need
it should have been unusually large
The allied countries of Europe must
be supplied-no argument there-and
our own people must be fed-again no
argument. Both these great objects
can be accomplished by cooperation.
Incorporation of the farmer is as
sured. There the high price of wheat
prevents waste.
The countrys -four mills are operating
under government license and regula-
tons, preventing waste and stabeliz-
ing prices. The bakeries prevent
every ounce of waste for financial rea-
sons, and they, also, are now under
government license and regulations.
1t is known beyond question that the
American housewives patriotism is
second to no other, and it is believed
that this gospel of conservation needs
but to be brought to her attention in
order to insure her full and enthusiast
tic cooperation.
Therefore, this appeal: -"Since there
are approximately 100000 homes in
this great country of ours, the saving
of but five ounces of wheat -four per
day will result in a total saving of one
million bushels of wheat per week J"
This will save the situation and it can
and will be done. This appeal is made
to every housewife in the land, and
tho Caoro;o cOy,,o1 will bo n11ink IN
heed the call
This great saving can be accomplish
ed in your home without great in conn
yenience. A little foresight, little
good judgment, are all that will be
necessary. Do not leave flour in cot
ton sack-place it in a container of
tin if possible. Carefully consider
home baking of light bread. If at all
wasteful to continue the practice buy
the bakers loaf, and you will conserve
both flour and fuel Keep the loaf
bread well wrapped; slice only as
much as needed for the meal, re-wrap
and place in dry, clean bread box,
but never in the ice box. This is very
Important since the low temperature
of your ice box will, in a very few
hours, ruin the flavor and quality of

work-making the tiny springs for the

all. There, of course. muscular strength
was practically eliminated. In fact the
little machines that turned out the tiny

ing so much as sewing machines. There

whether they had two fingers bandaged

There are all sorts Of women there.
Some of them wore boomers. Some
wore skirts. Some wore little scar1'
over their heads. Some didn't. Some
were fairly neat. Some inexpressioiy

were good looking. One would mt into

The men were not nearly so varied.
They were obviously men who had been
exempted from the army on account OF

What VIII They Do After the War!
asked the man who showed me
through. the plant that these women
would do after the war. He replied
glibly enough: "They will 90 back to
doing what they did before the war"
He looked up the figures for me and
found that almost half had been house
wives, that a large number lad been
without previous occupation and that
the rest were pretty well scattered
among dressmakers, milliners, weavers,
embroiderers and so on. / wondered Y
women who had been earning from sixty
to one hundred francs week would
willingly revert to occupations which
paid smaller salaries or none at all.
asked one of the women whether
she thought that she and most Of the
co-workers of her sex would stick TO
factory work after the war. She didn't
know, but she thought they would. as
they so loved the independence and
were only too tickled to be allowed to
work for it. She said that the men
might not like it.
"They keep saying" she remarked,
chat it Is an honor to them to work
for their wives or sisters or mothers,
and they say that when women take
their jobs they cannot get jobs Of their
own"
The naively Joined objections did not
seem to bother her, but she did pause
for a moments thought, and then she
said: "Our men do not want their
women to work; they want them to
stay and keep the home and let them
work. They say they do not want US
tc want for anything. They will give
US everything. They want the honor
to support US. They cannot understand
that we would like the honor to sup
port ourselves"

The Original
Miss Murdoch

Ann Murdoch Is most original
young person. She doesn't use any
makeup. She isn't delighted when she
is told that she looks just like one Of
the most beautiful young actresses on
the American stage, she always keeps
her appointments on the minute and
she wears a uniform. These are some
Of the things which we had in mind
when we started out to find out what
Miss Murdoch thought about certain
things, and we intended to talk along
these lines instead Of asking the usual
questions, viz: do you like motion
pictures?" and (which do you prefer,
the silent or the noisy drama?" To the
first question there are but two an
swers, the Eyes, indeed" and the mo
MISUNDERSTANDING because
my-director-is-so-kin kind" sort of thing,
which eventually amounts to the
same thing. The answer to the second
is invariably, "Well, ! did like the
stage, but think as soon as get used
to rising with the lark that 1 SHALL
like the pictures better"
But Ann Murdoch is a most original
person, which brings US right back to
where we started. OF the rouge-paw
and the lip-stick she wots not; she
doesn't think that to be beautiful one
must have a nose which resembles
marshmallow, and she thinks that
mascara is something that you preserve
cherries in.
When Miss Murdoch meets you she
grasps your hand real hard and gives
IL a good shake so that you think you
are being welcomed by whole-souled
Tommy instead of little red-headed
girl in a Tommy's uniform. Don't
you love my uniform? I must tell you
about lit has a history. You see,

George Smokes a Cigar

II may be somewhat Of n shock to
New York theatregoers TO see Mrs
Fiske smoke a large black cigar on
the stage. She secomplishes this feat,
nevertheless, in her new play, MADAME
Sand" During engagements prior to
the New York opening the cigar smok-
ing provoked no riots. The other &C.
centricities Of Nine. Sand prepared
the spectators. The question is how
Mrs. Fiske bears tibet ordeal. The
cigar is not so black as it is painted,
for the filler is cigarette tobacco. 1t
doer not require intensive putting, and
Mr.. Fiske does not roll it under her
tongue or even hold 1t In her mouth
without the aid Of her fingers.

LYONS, Oct. 21.-The lady Of Lyons

maker, and when redhot shell cases are
being handled there isn't time to be
sex-conscious.
had hardly stepped into the biggest
munition plant Of the chief ammuni-
ton factory of France before ! found
that here woman had won such COM
plete emancipation that she didn't even
know she had it. Two men were block
ing q narrow lane between some ma
chinery and Of Q sudden a forewoman
came up behind them and, seizing one
by each shoulder, hustled them out OF
the way. / watched to see how the
men would like being mauled around
by a woman, even if she was heavy set
and strong jawed, and / saw that they
had merely stepped out of the way
without any thought at all of the
woman. She wasn't woman to them.
one WAS IL lOEcWOmaH'
In this particular factory 60 per cent
of the $4,000 employees are women and
S55 are under eighteen. Women have
come to munitions work slowly In
France. In June of 1915 8 per cent
were women. A year later the number
had jumped to 81 per cent and now 1t
is almost twice that.
Do More for Less
The women get paid little less than
the men and work little better. The
biggest shells are usually lifted by men,
but most of the machinery is run by
women, and some of the machines are
delicate and complicated. 1t is at the
machines that the lady Of Lyons ex-
cells. | watched women at this work
and found they were better than the
men because they were more rhythmic
l saw two particularly handsome girls,
who looked almost like dancers. They
never lost an atom of energy, because
they swung in short circles on per-
feet beat They would swing a shell
into place, swing the next one into the
machine, bring the other arm to the
machinery, then swing out the hnished
shell and slip it on to the platform to
be carried along, all with practically
one circle of their bodies.
Men Are Not Woman Conscious
The women workers are all mixed IN
with the men. There will be row OF
ten, all working on identical machines,
and six will be women. | watched for
single sign of consciousness on any
bodv,s mart that it was a woman be-
hind him or beside him or in front OF
him. There wasn't any. They were all
