Atlanta, May 10.-A company OF

with great enthusiasm. They arc
planning two or three drills a week

physical culture and teaches the
women concentration and discipline.
Women of the league who are taking
the infantry drill in other cities have
derived great physical benefits. The
fat have been reduced and the thin
