case. They have asked for employ
ment because they want the work and
they pride themselves on doing pretty
much whatever the men can or will dc
and furthermore the management says
that they are meeting up with all that
is required Of them.
EXPERIMENT Is SUCCESS
"The employment of girls and wo-
men has thus far proven a successful
experiment" says superintendent E.
Manns. 'When first tried they we're
used in the sausage, canning and meat
trimming departments. Gradually it
was found that they were able to do
many things that boys and men had
previously had to do. In fact their
work in some OF these tasks was even
better than boys and some OF them
soon became able to earn very good
wages, better than in many other pur-
suits. The trimming room now en-
ploys girls and women exclusively AS
they developed in these departments
they demonstrated the wisdom of en-
ploying them, and other branches Of
the plant were opened to them until
now we have them practically all over.
Some of the things that the women
and girls can do is surprising and they
as whole are giving good satisfac-
ton. We have them under the direct
charge Of q woman superintendent as
we'll as their department foreman and
their dining room and other quarters

 most distinguished and beloved men, Col Robert J. Lowry, Capt James W. English and Judge William T. New man, all of whom are well known and popular in Birmingham, with beautiful dinner at the Capital City club, to which were bidden the most prominent and .n- fluential men of Atlanta.
 The Atlah~t Georgian got out special edition containing large pictures of the three honorees and the host, and devoted pages to recounting the history of the three men who have done so much toward making Atlanta the big. prosperous city she is.
 Colonel Lowry, Captain English ana Judge Newman constitute the "Olo Guard" of Atlanta, and fin speaking of the honor paid them by MT. Wilkinson. the Georgian says:
 Probably no other dinner ever given in Atlanta drew such a choice assemblage or guests as those who gathered at Mir Wilkinsons invitation to do honor and Bay tribute to these three citizens, whom every Atlantan who loves his city honors There were the governor of the state and the mayor of the city, the comman- der of the great military camp at the city's borders; jurists, editors. men Of large affairs, representatives of many professions; more than 80 representative Atlantans gathered at the long table in the salon of the Capital City club.
 At no previous dinner, perhaps was table arranged in so unique a manner or with such painstaking care. Nh the Of taI, uta loo I1; miniature replica of the birthplace of the three poor boys whom representative Atlanta had met to honor. Thanking the cabin at one side was the little coun- try schoolhouse where the boys learned their three R's, and perhaps the feel of hickory rod, applied to the best advan- tage. On the other side, fed by stream of running water was the old wash hole, just such rural bathing pool as Jim and Bob and Long Bill from Tennessee had been wont to frequent in boyhood when summer days were long.
 'The speeches were many, but most of them were brief. Old friends rose to re- late "reminiscences of the young manhood of the trio. Those of a younger genera tion voiced their admiration for the three citizens they are known today. Among the speakers were Gov Hugh M. Dorsey, Mayor Asa G. Candler General Sage, commander of Camp Gordon; Judge w. D. Ellis of the superior court, once a law partner of Judge Newman; Clark Howell, editor of the Constitution; Maj. John s. Cohen, editor of the Journal, and James B. Nevin, editor of the Geor- gian and American.
 MT. Wilkinson, the host, was the toastmaster, of course, and did credit to his teacher of oratory; Judge Newman, who evinced pride in his pupil. He spoke of his lifelong admiration for these three
