MISS VIOLA ERSKINE,
BRITISH DIPLOMATESS TO
WE'D IN WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON March 10-The world
set I'D and took notice when Miss VOL
ct Erskine of London was appointed
secretary to the British Embassy here.
It was the first official appearance of a
woman in the diplomatic circles of the
world Early next month, it is learn
ed today, she will desert Diplomacy for
matrimony.
Miss Erskine will wed Horace Sey-
mour, third secretary of the British
Embassy in Washington, some day
soon after Easter Sunday, April 8. Miss

is a handsome young woman, blonde,
graceful and charming, great fav-
orite with Sir Cecil and Lady Spring
Rice. She won her appointment
through her exceptional knowledge of
customs and American institutions.
The wedding, it is presumed. will
take place at the embassy. The orig
inal plan was for a wedding trip TO
England, but whether that will be
taken is not known at this time.

SOME FASHIONS
LEAD A BAD WAY
ISSUED by the Georgia State Board of
Healthy

ISSUED by the Georgia State Board OF
Healthy
These dresses that stop lust in
time in front and too late behind" be-
sides exhibiting lot of feminine anat-
omy, show quite a number of other
things-a fine supply of vanity for
one thing, and a reckless disregard
for goood health for another. 1t is
aside from the function of this Board
to discuss anything except health mat
tiers, but we believe we are entirely
within our province when we discuss
dress from the standpoint of its rela-
ton to health.
1t is very true that physicians ad-
wise people to get an abundance of
fresh air, but this applies to taking it
internally and not externally.
The fashion of low neck and short
sleeves, short skirts. and thin stock
ings for winter, and furs for summer,
are Just about as foolish fads as can
be imakined-they are well-nigh Grim
inal.
The Indians may have gone half
clothed, but it would not be right to
try to draw a parallel between them
and the people of today. They lived
out-of-door lives exclusively, and
did not go out of heated houses into
the cold, nor have on thick clothes at
one time of the day and thin ones at
another. Besides this, their lives were
extremely active and were the reverse
of the sedentary ones led nowadays.
We are aware of the fact that we
are not springing anything new when
we condemn tight lacing. However,
we feel we would be doing less than
our duty if we failed to emphasize
again the fact that distorting the nat
ural figure cannot fail to do harm.
Squeezing the abdominal contests into
a smaller space than was meant for
them dislocates the organs from their
natural positions and distorts them.
Their blood and nerve supply is In
terfered with, their functions are dis
turbed, and sooner or later they be-
come diseased, and sometimes irrepar-
ably damaged.

NOW COMES THE MAN WHO HAS
TAKEN MUSIC OUT OF MULES

ATLANTA, Ca, March 10.-And
now comes the man who has taken
the music out of mules. 1t is another
benefit derived from the war. Georgia
and Missouri mules made so much
noise with their braying at the front
that they actually attracted artillery
fire from the enemy and could never
be sent on secret missions. The
surgeons found out that by servering
small muscle in the mules nostrils
they could take the bray completely
out of him, and now all mules at the
front are silent

the Albany quintet Friday night by
the score of 10 to 6. This is what the
Albany Herald says:
The Americas High School girls
basketball team defeated the local
Hi" girls team by the score of 10 to

game was hard fought throughout
and not until the last whistle blew
did the locals admit defeat. A large
number of local enthusiasts were on
hand to cheer their team, while quite
a large number of visitors were also
present.
This makes one victory each for the
opposing teams, as the Albany team
defeated the visitors in Americas last
Friday night. 1t is so late in the
season that the teams will not be able
to play off the tie.

HERR LAFOLLETTE.

p An American citizen, with a French
name and full Of hatred for every
thing English, seems to be the descrip
ION that best fits this Senator from
Wisconsin, camouhaging as d man and
q believer in democracy and freedom.
The time has come when something
more than newspaper attention should
be shown him. The time has come
when the government should "sus
pend" him as the government prac-
tically suspended" Tom Watson. The
membership of the senate, it would
seem, has the right to stop this TRADE
that he is pouring out at every oppor-
unity against the country and against
the body Of which he is a member.
His own constituency has asked
his removal from the senate, from
the body which is engaged today in
helping the president in every way
TO carry to a successful issue the war
into which this country was forced.
Various organizations over the c0un-
try have joined in the demand that
he be axtinguished, expelled or any
hing that will step his blatant mouth
ings against his country.
1t would seem that he is nearing
the limit of the pubIics patience and
when the limit has been reached, Rob
ert j. LaFollette, the brilliant, I'M
scrupulous and traitorous misrepre-
sentative OF q senatorial constituency
as proud and as loyal as any OF the
most proud and loyal in the United
States, will be put down il a manner
that viii forever silence his vap0rings
against the government.

MERCHANTS MAY HELP WIN
THE WAR.

The man-p0wer of the nation, plus
the man-power of the nations allied
with us; plus the dollar-power of our
people Will win the worlds greatest
war for democracy and free institu-
lions.
The man who helps to conserve and
to make available the dollar-power of
the people will help to win the war.
The merchants can do this-are doing
1t.
The nation must borrow all the
money that the people can lend for
war purposes. Not any of this money
at least not enough of it to count
will go out of our country. 1t will be
diverted to industrial enterprises en-
Gagged in supplying the sinews of war.
Our own people viii receive it, as
they furnish it; in wages ana reason
2ble profit 1t will come to them I'M
failingly.
But it must first come from them
before it can come back to them. They
must so manage their buying that,
without deprivation, they may be able
to invest in the nations securities.
Whether a man or a woman feels
able 10 buy a bond or two may often
depend upon the wisdom with which
they have managed their buying of
things needed for the home If this
buying has been done injudiciously.
the home finances may not appear to
be able to stand a further strain.
The merchants must help the peo-
pie to buy wisely, economically They
must be satisfed-as a majority are
satisfied--with small profits for them
selves And they must educate the
people in wise buying them
how TO save enough in sensible econ
omies TO buy bonds.
Store advertising should have this
dominant note running through it all
the time-the need to buy wisely,
that all possible savings may be ef-
fected, and a margin left for patriotic
investment. Every merchant who
through enterprise, through alertness
and public spirit, is able to distribute
commodities at small profit per sale
is rendering a great public and patri-
otto service-is helping the people to
win the war through financing it gen
erously and adequately.
Every merchant who is working in
that spirit should see to it that his
store is a center Of interest forfall
who are determined to conserve I'll ssr
dollars and to lend some of their
earnings to the nation

A ROLAND FOR AN OLIVER?

German air raids on Britain have
again eXacted their toll of human life
and destroyed considerable property.
The London Daily Mail is urging
reprisals, stating that the British pe0-
pie would view these raids with en-
tire indifference ii the assurance was
given them that every one OF the at
tacks on them would be followed by
one Of manifold intensity on Germany.
Let's hit the Germans-hit them
hard" concludes The Northcliffe news
paper
1t does seem that sooner or later
the allies, and in particular the Brit
ish, will have to resort to retaliatory
methods.
Hitherto humanitarian scruples
have restrained them from doing with
airplanes what Germany has done
with hers.
But it would appear that reprisals
have now become necessary as mil
itary eXpediency.
The humanitarian sentiment is
open to strange perversion when it
is evident that further forbearance
operates only to encourage more and
greater frighttulness on the part Of
Germany.
BY using airplano aggression against
Germany now the ability Of the Ger
mans would be diminished to make
further raids, they would be put more
on the defensive and the dangers and
5uiferings of the British would be
minimiZed
And il is also logical to assume that
should Germany feel the weight of
aerial bombs destroying her non-con-
batants she would perforce drop the
use Of them.
In that event the ends Of humanity
would be served.

STUDY THE ADS-BuY A BOND

Women who study the News ads
may save enough in a short time to
pay for Liberty bond.
All patriotic women want to buy
some OF tn war bonds. Not all of
them are able to figure out just how
they Will manage to spare the money
Women who do the buying for the
home are of two classes. One class
studies the adS-takes ADVANTAGE Ct
buying opportunities-sav money
where that is possible-secures real
values always. The other class just
goes TO the stores-buys what is need
ed, perhaps with no real knowledSe
OF values-preferring to pay a little
more rather than to do interminable
and tiresome shopping
These housewives OF the latter class
are sure that they cannot manage to
pay for war bonds-for they have a
pretty hard time, many of them, to
make the household money stretch
over the buying needs. The house
wives who buy wisely, thriftily, buy
ing from knowledge OF stores and of
values, save enough, within short
time, to enable them to purchase a
bond, and to thus strengthen the pow
