their marriage, Mr.. and Mrs. Adamson
left for Washington, where the for
mer will resume his congressional du
ties.
Judge Adamson gained national fame
recently, being the author of the Adam
son Eight Hour law, passage of which
through congress prevented the inaug-
uration of a nationwide railroad
strike, the result of which would GER
tainly have been at least temporary
interruption of commercial traffic. He
has long represented his district In
congress, and is a member of several
important committees of the house.
Mrs. Adamson is a native of north
east Georgia, being the daughter of
the late Captain Thomas E. cellars,
Or. Granville. and the widow of Abner
Camp. She resided at Granville un-
til the latter's death four years ago,
since which time she has been a fire.

The marriage of Judge and Mrs.
Adamson had not been previously an
nounced, and few were aware that ii
was to take place. Scores of congrat-
ulatory kilograms poured in on the
happy couple when the news of their
marriage became general.

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me small bottle of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether com
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness In
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone

his wholesale drug house for you.-adv.

slowly and painfully that women are
human.
The old idea was that women are
merely female. and that any form of
endeavor in which they may engage is
female too. In the days when this
belief prevailed certain woman, wri-

Last September, when-in order to
avoid a national calamity in the form
of a general railroad strike-the
Adamson law was enacted, Congress,
by large majority, committed itself
to the doctrine that eight hours at a
stretch is long enough for a railroad
man to work. A great many states
already limit the days work to eight
hours for all men in public employ
In the debates on this topic in Con-
gress and in the Legislature, many
eloquent speeches were made on the
right of every human being to a GER
, tain amount of leisure.
In other words, this principle is rec
ognized by lawmakers: Leisure, in
reasonable measure, is good thing,
especially for men.
Only a few states have an eight
hour day for women.
And all those are states where wo-
men vote. "Where one woman
worker is protected by an cight-hour
law, a thousand men are SO protected. y
This is a statement made by the
president of the National Womens
Trade Union League.

or something comes along with car
riage to haul them free of charge.
Undoubtedly women are stronger
than men. But what of that-if
leisure is a "human right?
The right food is a human right
regardless of the fact that woman
can go down town and shop all day
on the strength impaired by cup
of tea and a cracker or two, whereas
man in order to endure such an or
deal would require large steak and
hard drink.
Nobody would argue that women
are to be debarred from bread and
meat. Then why is one human right
different from another human right?
"Food" is not masculine; neither is
leisure nor suffrage"
With the single exception of Cali
fornia, all the states having an eight
hour law for women passed it after
the women got the right to vote. In
California it was passed by the same
legislature which voted for the wo-
man suffrage amendment to the state
constitution.
In the state of Washington the
eight hour law for women was passed
before women had actually cast their
ballots but after they had been given
the right to vote. The legislators,
of course, knew that women, as we'll
| as men, would have a vote on their
reelection, and so their chivalry in
creased rapidly For eight years
the advocates of the eight-hour law
had been trying to secure its pas
sage but without success.
The subject of labor is big one,
and the regulation of the hours of la
Dor, with a view to doing justice to
the toiler, is a work that has pro-
ceeded very slowly. Only last fall
was q federal child-labor law put
through at Washington and signed by
President Wilson-after being fought
tooth and nail for years.
The history of factory life in Eng
land shows that it took forty years to
restrict a child of nine to seventy
hours of labor a week-an average
of more than eleven hours day,
In 1925 a man was sent to jail for
advocating only twelve hours work
a day for a child under sixteen. In
Georgia the law has permitted chill
dren to work in the mills at the age
of nine. In Alabama the minimum
age was thirteen.
Child labor is cheap labor. And
greed is human quality.
Women workers are cheaper than
men--particularly if a woman's work
day is several hours longer than a
mans.
The Massachusetts Legislature last
spring voted down the eight-hour law
for women workers. There are lots
of factories in Massachusetts.
In the state of Maine bill to limit
women's labor to fifty-four hours a
week was submitted by the legislature
to a referendum vote of the men and
was defeated. In Colorado the eight
hour law for women was submitted to
a referendum of men and women to-
gether, and carried. This seems to
indicate that it makes a difference
whether the voter is on the outside
looking in or on the inside looking
out.

that state from membership on the
board.
The Brewers Journal, seeing the
handwriting on the wall, urges sepa-
ration of the beer and whiskey in
terests, giving reasons as follows:
"The franchise will be extended to
all women in this country. There is
little doubt about that. And where
will the brewing industry be then if
it is still considered to be in alliance
with the distillers and whiskey-selling
saloons?"
Not all the high cost of living is
due to the war. Some of it is the
result of manipulating the market.
Recently two cargoes of bananas ar
rived in New York City at the same
time. Thereupon the owners towed
one load of them out to sea and
threw them overheard in order to
keep up the price e of : the others.
In California, since the housewives
got the ballot, it has been made ille-
gal to destroy any kind of foodstuffs
for the purpose Of keeping up prices.
None of the women voters who cast
their ballots in the recent presiden-
tial election were "insulted at the
polls" as was freely predicted few
years ago. The, men turned out to
be more civilized than the anti-suffra-
gists had picture them.
The great English essayist, Charles
Lamb, said, along about 1880: "a wo-

At the moment of writing Germa-

nothing in it. Indeed, if war were not
so grim and terrible the first thought
expressed would be that Germany
has added to the gaity of nations.
The pompous strain in which the pro-
posal is set forth provokes a smile.

known whether the terms "will he ac-

Germany asserts that she is "seized

The word "seize" implies some
