Ever since creation, LOOKING UP
has been an inherent instinct In
mankind. Eve looked up an apple
tree and Adam looked up the nearest

then we have been confronted with
the mooted question whether women
should look up to men, or men TO
their wives. Until the s~uffragists
looked up q brand new angle to the
Adebate. we thought we had the situa-
hon well In hand.
Webster invented one kind of look
ing up; Dunn and Rradstreet an
other. Queen Isabel looked up her
jewels and Chris Columbus after
booking up q hook shop, looked up
America. Hoyle booked up some rules

Often women look up men for ALI

Even q German submarine looks
up, but as 1t does the world looks
kdown. If the kaiser had looked up
and reflected, he would never have
started this melee. Trouble was he
was always looking down-on his

WHY WOMAN
HUMAN CORK"
CAN'T SINK
Remarkable Gle Gland Woman
Floats All Day, But as Deep
Diver Nothing Doing.

A German submarine would have
no terrors for Mrs. Theresa Vetter, OF
Cleveland, unless the water was very
cold.
For Mrs. vetter. who is known in
Cleveland as The Human Cork" can
float easily on the water for hours
at a time. Even more remarkable L.
water. When she dives she hobs up
like a cork. Even her companions
n a swimming pool r unable to
hold her under water.
She wiz lie on top OF the water
fully dressed and remove her
clothes. She VIII lie IN Q side
on the surface Of the water I'M
the same position she might take
on a couch. She a sit IN the
water Tn the same position h
would take ON a straight back
chair, with her head completely
out OF the water.
Not until two years g did Mrs.
Vetter learn of her abnormal buoy
ancy in water. It was then she learn
ed to swim. Since then she has de-
voted a great deal of time to water
balancing"
The buoyancy of her body has
kept Mrs. Vetter out of h life saw
ing service. The government regu-
lations require among other qualih-
cations that q candidate for the serv-
ice must remain under 1 feet of
water for sixty seconds. Mrs. Vetter
cannot do this. She can't stay under
more than ~one-fourth that length of
time. She can't even reach the bot
tom in nine feet of water.
Time after time she has tried to
pass this test. She has taken the
examination OF the American Red
Cross Life Saving Society, the Royal
Life Saving Society and the Women's
Life Saving League Of America.
Mrs. Vetter swims the breast, back.
over arm and crawl strokes. She is
an excellent diver. but is unable to
dive deeper than six or sever feet.

Why She Can't Sink
Nv HARRY n TEVEN

A. ~ &0
Swimming Instructor and Examin-
ing officer for the American Red
Cross Life Saving Society
"I believe the explanation OF Mrs.
Vetter's remarkable buoyancy rests
in her abnormal lung capacity and
the high location of the center of
gravity of her body. Mrs. Vetter, in
some ways, has the most remarkable
lungs 1 have ever known in a wom-
an. One reason for this Is hat she
has never laced and her internal
organs have never been displaced as
in the Ease with women who wear
tight corsets.
"Her normal chest measurement is
3S inches, very unusual IN q woman
of her size, and her chest expansion
Ia far above III average. Her waist
measurement is 80 inches.
THE abnormal development of the
chest and diaphragm cavity auses
the center of gravity Of the body TO
be raised. with corresponding greater
buoyancy."

AMERICAS PLEDGE
TO HER EUROPEAN ALLIES

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 5.-When the
Interallied Food Council met last
summer Mr.. Hoover representing
the American people through the
United States Food Administration,
gave this promise:
Make your calculations for vic
tory; draw up your needs for neces-
sary foods on the basis Of what can
be shipped; pay no attention to how
much is more or less in America; we
will send what you need. We have
it or we will find it"
The representatives of the Allies
gave full faith to the promise. Ameri-
ca made good last year, sending Ill.,
100000 bushels of wheat more than
its reckoned surplus, and sent it, by
saving.
The Allies are pressing forward
now, sure of Americas promise of
support, as sure as they are of Amer
ica's Army since Chateau Thierry.
They believe in America.
America will not fail them.

SIX-CENT CAR FARE
IS IMPERATIVE NEED

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 6.-Unless the
Georgia Railway & Power Company
of this city is allowed to increase it's
revenue by increasing car fares from
FIVE to six cents, it will be impossible
to maintain the present standard of
street railway service and at the same
time pay the wages of the company's
employees, according to the COM
pany's petition filed before the city
council.
When the power company went be-
feFe the Railroad Commission some
months ago with petition for in
creased light rates, increased power
rates and increased gas rates. as well
as increased street car fares, the Com
mission made thorough and sitting
investigation of the company's earn
ings and operating expenses, and
handed down decision authorizing
the company to increase its rates for
light, power and gas.
With regard to street car fares the
Commission held that it did not have
jurisdiction, owing to certain provls-
ions of the company's franchise relat-
ing to car fares. but the Commission
strongly recommended to the city
council of Atlanta that the company
be allowed by that body to charge a
fare of six cents The power COM
pany disagreed with the Railroad
Commissions view Of the question of
jurisdiction, the city council of Allan
ia ignored the Commissions recon-
mendation and refused to allow an
increase in fares.
Now the power company has gone
back to council a second time with a
formal petition showing the urgent
necessity for increased revenue. The
company sets out the fact that its
present scale of rs to 81 cents an
hour for street car conductors and
motormen is already high, but the
men want more. and have taken their
case to the War Labor Board Should
that body grant them the same scale
here that it has granted in other cit
les. e., a scale of 40 to so cents an
hour-the company will be obliged to
charge increased fares to meet the
new scale

COTTON PRODUCERS

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 6.-The Cotton
States Advisory Marketing Board,
composed of the commissioners of
agriculture and the market bureau
directors of the cotton producing
states, will hold special called meet
ing in Atlanta tomorrow for the pur-
pose of taking steps to back up the

gressmen to prevent a further decline
in the price of cotton.
The governors of Virginia, North
Carolina. South Carolina, Tennessee.
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisi-
ana, Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma
have been asked to attend by Gov
ernor Dorsey of Georgia, and reso-
luton will be introduced in the meet
ing asking congress to make an in
vestigation of the influences and
agencies which are conspiring to
hammer down the price of cotton.
That the farmers of the south are
thoroughly alive to the situation i.
shown by action taken in a number
OF Georgia counties. The farmers of
Cobb county in mass meeting assem-
bled have pledged themselves not to
sell another bale until the price goes
above IS cents. The farmers of Gwin-
nett county have taken similar action.
The farmers of Clarke county have
passed set of red hot resolutions
declaring the recent decline in the
price OF cotton was caused by a COM
blnation of spinnerS and buyers in
violation of law, and the resolutions
further allege that this combination
has sought to influence the action of
certain departments of the federal
government in Washington.
