THE PUBLIC FORUM
WOMANHOOD. - That woman is

mans equal is no new conception or
the result of agitation. The term
Adam means One Erect; 'HayeVa, or
the Latinized abbreViation, Eva,
means His Equal.
Thus from the very. cradle OF the
white race woman was recognized en-
mar with man and therein the white
race differs from all other races, the
white man and woman were made
equal. She is his equal, but in many
ways more delicately constructed
because of the endOwments OF moth
erly propensities which call Tor a
more sensitive nature.
It is understood that the masculine
and feminine natures are being con-.
sidered.. There are those Of both
sexes which have some OF the quail
tiles of the opposite sex in their ma
ture and, that being the case, the
masculine loses or the feminine loses
some of their nature, hence the male
who has feminine qualities, actions
looks. ETC., so with the female. The
positive and negative electric wires
are both equal, yet different; some,
thing is wrong, there is a loss OF pow
err somewhere when the wires are
not truly positive and negative; that
is merely a simple, easily compre-
hended example.
Woman is the creator Of qualities
that are to make this world grow bet
ter, for ''the hand that rocks the era
die rules the world" Much depends
upon the knowledge behind the hand
that does the rocking; if not prompt
ed by inteIligence-disasters are sure
to follow. Where, realizing her linn
itless powers, she learns to care for
her body. she soon gains that part
in the daily walks for which she IS
destined.
At least one hour daily should be
spent in the study of postures and

SOUTHEASTERN AUTOMO-
rcxM
BILE SHOW OPENS SOON

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 17.-With the
opening of the Southeastern Automo-
bile Show only a week off requests
for reservations are beginning to pour
into Atlanta hotels and indications
are that in addition to the visitors
coming here for the show there will
be at least 1000 dealers in the city
from every part of the southeast.
Practically all automobile manufac-
turers having factory branches in At
lanta have called conventions of their
dealers in this territory to be held
here during the show, and these bid
fair to be the largest ever held.
An exhibition space has been talk
en- in the Atlanta Auditorium and
preparations are under way for in
stalling the decorations and using
floors that were never used before the
automobile shows, the exhibit space
has been increased from 10000 to
$4,000 square feet.

GOV HARRIS WILL PROBABLY
CALL AN EXTRA SESSION

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 17.-That the
tremendous leakage of liquor into the
state in spite of the supposedly dras-
tic prohibition bills has created a Sc
rious farm labor situation in the ru-
raj districts was the argument used
IN favor of an extra session of the
Legislature by delegation of promi-
nent citizens from Acworth, Ga. cit
liens who called on the governor YES
terday.
They told the governor that the
prohibition laws were redecminp farn,
labor and resulting in wonderful
Improvement OF general conditions in
the rural districts. until the law per
mitted express agents to collect fee
for each package OF whisky delivered
by them resulted in very large and
noticeable increase i'll shipments.
They told the governor Of 'theAcase
OF a negro and his wife and six child
rem who went to the express Office at
Acworth and each one got package
of liquor, notwithstanding the fact
that the children were minors.
They laid special stress on the fact
that the large exodus OF negroes to
northern cities has made it all the
more necessary to be able to rely
en"she negroes who are ieftt in Ire
country and they declared that the
loss to the farmers through farm la
Dor rendered shiftless and unreliable
by liquor would be many times the
cost OF an extra session.
The opinion is growing in Atlanta
that Governor Harris looks with a
great deal more favor on an extra
session than he did when the matter
was first presented to him several
weeks ago, and it would not surprise
state house officials if he should an
nounce in few days his decision to
issue the call.

EFFECTS OF GERMAN SUB

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 17.-Alread,
the effects of the German submarine,

Atlanta, Ga, February 17.-Has
anybody seen anything of a key of
chewing tobacco and barrel of per-

The bee has two distinct stomachs
In the first it stores away the honey
it SO idnustriously gathers from the
t1owers until such time as it is ready
to yield it up, while the other stomach
is used simply and solely for diges-
ton purposes. Thus the food and the
honey are never mixed. When the
bee returns to the hive and is ready
to deposit the honey it has gathered
it contracts the muscles of the stom-
ach, in which act the honey is eject
ed through the mouth. AS to bee
food. it is various in kind. consisting
largely of the honey it so patiently
makes for others.
