A SOUTHERN GIRLS
I SUCCESS


The accomplishment of Miss Belle
Clark as an interior decorator is
subject of interesting comment
among her friends and the story Of
her work is most inspiring, says the
Atlanta Constitution.
In less than six months time after
Miss Clark's arrival in Atlanta, she
has had contracts for enough work
to make the average business firm
feel comfortable for a year, and her
contracts are extending to Athens
and to other centers of the state.
Her first work in Atlanta was in
decorating the Green Tea room.
That is a woman's venture, and one
of those successes which has made
itself with brains and energy to
start with, and capital following.
With a limited amount Miss Clark
produced decoration in the tea
room, which made the women who
met there for luncheon ask the ques-
ton: "Who created this atmos-
phere?"
Miss Clark designed and carried
out every detail of the beautiful nur-
series of Mrs. Stewart Witham, Mrs.
James Riley and Mrs. Robert Mad
dox. She has redecorated and fur
nished the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Foreman; she is doing one of
these entrance halls in the Ponce De
Leon apartment, and she is doing
the interior decorating work IN the
Chi Phi chapter house of Athens,
Ga. She designed the model shop for
the Vogue Pattern company in the
Connally building, and has on her

FRENCHWOMEN WANT
VOTE ON WAR RECORD

Paris, July 0--Encouraged by tho
success that has just crowned the
efforts of the English suflragettes, the
League for Women's Suffrage" of
France has presented petition to
the Chamber of Deputies asking for
the rights of equal suffrage for all
Frenchwomen.
Despite the fact that the granting
of such a petition would be an almost
revolutionary event in country
where women have never had the
slightest political power, the leaders
of the movement are confident that
they will obtain the vote.
: Mmmes. Marguerite Durand and
Maria Veronne, who headed the dele.
cation, explained on what they base
their hopes to me as follows
Equal political rights that we are
demanding are the just dues of every
woman in the terrible times we are
passing through All women are en-
titled to the franchise on account Of
the heavy burdens they have so will
ingly assumed, both social and eco
nomical.
History has shown that during all
long drawn out wars the women at
home have done the work of the alb
sent men, but the results that the
women have obtained through their
skill and their bravery and persever-
ance have always been in vain be-
cause they have never enjoyed equal
rights with the men. In the France
of tomorrow, which will have an
even more crying need for its women
in all lines OF endeavor. it would be
better for the good of all that con-
ditions should not be permitted to
remain as they now are
Nine. Witt-Schlumburger, president
of the French Union for Woman
Suffrage" feels that at the present
time the suffrage party should not
make its demands too radical.

CUBA AROUSED OVER
sELEcTlvE DRAFT PLAN,

Havana, Cuba, July 13-Cuba is
now experiencing the ame'discussiOr
and problems over obligatory military
service that the United States had
prior to the passage of the recent
service laws in Washington. The Gu
ban Congress is now in session and
while the leaders of both houses dc
not agree on the form in which Cuba's
military law should be enacted or the
extent of the selectiye draft. never
theless it is probable that bill EN-
bodying the same features as that in
the United States will be passed by
both houses in a few days.
President Menocal has requested
Congress for a sweeping selective
draft law which will exempt none
from its workings. Other leaders be-
lieve that this going too far in
this country at this time. The work
ing of the United States law is being
watched with great interest here and
throughout the island 1t is estimated
that from the available eligible pOpu-
lation in Cuba an army could be raised
speedily ana with slight inconven-
fence, should the necessary arise.
The attitude of the administration
toward the pendiru measure is well
expressed by DR.. Ricardo Dolz, leader
of the Conservative party and Presi-
dent Of the Cuban Senate, who said
today:
Il cannot think of any reason why
the Conservative party should not
lend its support to the President Of
the republic to implant the obligatory
military service. This is a duty i'm
posed by the Constitution on every
Cuban citizen, and, therefore, we may
discuss the details of this service but
not it's principle, as it would be
against the Constitution to do So
Furthermore, we have the American
Congress as an example in passing
recent legislation. During state of
was The President is principally re-
sponsihle for the security of the ma
ton, and Congress should accept all
recommendations from the Executive
under these circumstances, and no OBJ
structions should be put in his way
in times in which the country is in a
state of war
Congress, in my opinion, should
grant ungrudgingly all requests from
the executive
In answer to the charge by certain
opponents of the measure that in
terests of education in Cuba would
suffer through universal draft mea-
sure, DR.. Gabriel Casuso, head of the
University of HAVANA, asserted.
II do not believe that the obligatory
military service will cause any dam
age. speak of course, thinking of
the students at the university. On
the contrary, think the service will
be beneficial, as the university stu
dents would expand their facilities in
the service OF their country and
would form strong nucleus to di-
rect the movement.
"The hands of the Government
should be left free to act at this time,
and all citizens should obey orders.
81 have always advocated physical
culture at the university, and even
recommended that they take military
exercises. My contention has been
proved by the fact that in the last
uprising it was the students who gave
the better service to their country.
I'VE have gone into this war to
strengthen our ties with the United
States. Germany is far away, it is
true. but we must prepare ourselves

land was formerly owned by Mrs Eben
Peck, the Peck pioneer homestead be-
ing just north of where Mr.. Hubert
lives. The Pecks entered the land
from the government at 1925 per
acre and its value has now gone to
something like 1925 an acre.

or sinker which he found near the city.
The stone object is about the size of

Kelly laid down dime and the bar
keep swept it into the cash register,
bemoaning the fact that taxes and the
war and sundry other things made it
necessary to charge 10 cents for a
glass Of beer.
Kelly, who was just reaching for his
glass, keeled over and fell dead. The
beer for which he had just paid 10
cents, remained untouched. Physi-
clans called it heart disease.
