A Message to Telephone Workers
Their Families, Relatives and Friends
The given for the telephone strike in Atlanta
that number of employees had been dismissed or
otherwise Disseminated against because trade union
affiliations or because of union activities
The sympathies of the telephone workers through
the South worked upon and some of them were
msled into leaving the service after having been deceived
into believing that certain telephone employees in Atlanta,
had been treated unjust1y.
After exhaustive inquiry conducted in Atlanta by
three wholly disinerested Government Inspectors sent
there for the purpose testimony being taken from all
parties involved it has been announced that there was no
evidence submitted to substantiae the charge that any
employe of the Southern Bell Company discharged
Disseminated against because of his her union af
fliatons activities and that the dissa1s complained
of were for the good of the service
So the excuse for the strike has vanished
Here is the text of the report made public at Wash

At the FerdrgH
Bu ". G.. BondOin,

The annual exhibition OF oils by
John Follnsbee at the 'Fcrargil Gal
lery. No. - East 10Th street, IL to
extend through January. The cata
logue contains twcnty-one numbers,
all OF which have been recently exc
euted, and none Of them have been
shown before.
A single marine, done on tho Mas
sachusetts coast, Is full Of charm. A
few rocks In the foreground are hap
PLY introduced, and go far toward
lending the effect of distance to the
sea as II stretches away into the
background, with here and there a
sail dottng the surface.
Morning Light" deals very admir-
ably with a canal at New Hope. Pa.
The winter lay Of tho country bor-
dering the canal, the houses with
snowy roofs, the draft horses mean
derlng along the tow path, with scat
tering pedestrians, give life and move
ment to this picture. The light effects
on the surface water OF the canal
and the shadows thrown by the tall
chimney are pleasingly handled.
"The Red Bridge" features a de-
lightful bit of New England scenery
in which a wooden bridge spans the
stony creek. The ringing trees are
full OF charming detail in the po-
tentiality OF their painting. The pic
ture as a whole is highly noteworthy.
THE Huckster" is a small canvas,
broadly painted, but with excellent
expression. The huckster's cart Is
effectively placed at the left. The
setting is autumnal and the shadow
masses are well painted.
Above the Locks" is another win
ter scene, done with infinite excel
ience. The canal with its captive
boat, and the low bridge in the dis
tance, enter most delightfully."- into
the composition.
Beth" shows what Mr.. Folinsbee
can do with a figure when he essays
IL. The little girl and her toy ele-
phant arc both skilfully projected.

The City Club Will Be a Big

So Let's Look At It In the Biggest Way.
By EARL GODWIN,

wonder if the who are behind the big CITY
CLUB movement really understand what BIG thing thew
can do; and wonder those joining the CITY CLUB
realize what great big enjoyable proposition they can put
over they look at the thing in the light other cities
have found.
the north and wes you entertained by the city the
CITY CLUB 1t may be called by another name may have
athletic features and be called an athletic club but the
CIFf men, one and ALL in it and with it and of it.
and when entertained there you are entertained by
the CITY.
You get the distinct impression that YOU are in big
institution YOu see the chance for esu hours good meals
with the men you like fine place step aside from the
busy hustle OF the days work. something you are glad to
belong to- something you wouldn't give up for anything
on earth.
You place where center the things that are going
on 1t s not competitor of the Chamber of Commerce or
the Board of Trade; not competitor of any other esab
shed organization, but it is expression of just the kind
of thing that regular grown up manly American men ike
1t is the Mans Club for that city.
Now there are lot of good clubs here but there il
NOT real city club yet Nor will there be one until this
movement gathers in its 1,5O0 live Washington citizens
Such clnb would not only be practically boon to
Washington men, but it would be or SHOULD be forum
for the discussion Of the live topics of the day. Senator
Walsh, of Massachusetts, with the experience of club in
Boston, expressed this apy few nights ago. quote from
article:
'Such club in the Capital Senator Walsh thought
would prove friendly meeting ground for leading men Of
all classes creeds nationaes and shades of political opn
on and would provide forum where the abest and most
eminent of the nation could and would come for the
expression Of their views. He thought such club woud
prove vast clearing house of ideas on municipal progress
and social betermen Senator Walsh said the plan of the
City Club entirely practical capable of realization and
opportunity for which the time is right He
project forward to fulfllment."
The Washington times., 1919-05-31

I THINK it was that genial old
cynic Thackeray who said
any woman given q fair
amount of opportunity could
marry any man she pleased. 1t
must have been this remark that
started such a far-reaching boom
In propinquity.
But apparently propinauity-or
nearness-has its exceptions and
sometimes it reacts as an active
poison to romance. This perhaps
is true only Of the man or woman
who has such unpleasant personal
habits that it amounts TO
scourge to have them about.
People who have not yet discov-
cred that to preserve any of the
illusions Of civilization. a certain
amount of reticence must be OBJ
served.
My young correspondent tells me
that she has taken vow of per-
petual celibacy and that while
she is employed in one Of the Gov
ernmental departments in Wash
ingtOn, she feels as il she were
spending her life in barber shop
or a he-beautv parlor. Her let
ter. which is entirely too frank
and unexpurgated to be given
except in portions-would be a
verx valuable document to young
people whose home training has
been neglected. This applies to
young women as we'll as young
men.
"a Chiel Among Ye Takin' Notes"
The individual who has turned
the life of this Young war
worker" into dust, ashes and Gin
ders, is one of those demi-hemi-
semi departmental chiefs that
make up goodly proportion OF
Washington's population.
This gentleman, according to the
"Chiel Takin' Notes" spends a GER
tain amount of time writing re-
ports. signing papers and receiv-
ing documents from messengers
and the rest Of the time he devotes
to intensive cultivation Of his per-
son.
He ships, prunes, picks and pol
ishes himself before his office force
with the joy of a department store
demonstration giving an exhibition.
The force has tried staring, it has
tried the aYerted eye, il has left
the room, and one day when the
gentleman attempted a minor sur =
gical operation on his face with a
. pair Of tweezers one nervous young
thing went of her head into hys-
terics. Still the chief goes on with
his looping, shipping and pruning.
You would think" writes the
desperate girl, that his various
amputations would have some ap-
preciable effect on his outline; but
no, like the crab, he seems to be
sble to reproduce his members by
spontaneous growths."
Expects to Live and Die Splnster.

fore . cruel fate smut her up in the

various toilet accessories, that she
fully expected to marry. That a
vague hope of meeting Prince
Charming played some part in her
decision to come to Washington.
But that this Constant currying in

nance, and that she expects to live
and die a spinster
Then she INDUCES in some re-
Elections regarding the chiefs an

probably he was a founding and

was eating into her soul like so

And perhaps she may meet a
man who has had an army or
navy training and who would
never dream of "currying himself
in public" in consequence. Let US
hope so at any rate and draw

POWdering the Nose in Public.
1t may be amusing to see
young girl, if she is pretty, powder
her nose in public. But it ap-
proaches farce comedy when the
powderer is homely and middle
aged. And speaking of nose pow
dering, why don't they change
their powder-rags and puffs a
little 'oftener if everyone is going
to see it done?
At the theater l have seen
women whip out a priceless gold
vanity case and apply a powder
puff that looked like a fragment Of
a diseased cat. If you must do it
and apparently nothing will
break women of the habit-do
have the puff or rag clean.
Women are intuitively more
dainty than men and l can't con-
ceive Of any woman past the stone
age of her social development
using a toothpick in public or
chewing gum. And yet a girl
wrote me a letter the other day,
as amusing as it was pitiful, tell
ing me she was high school grad
uate and setting forth her list Of
accomplishments and painfully
surprised that none of her office
friends invited her to their parties.
She said they were delightful
girls and they seemed to have the
incest times imaginable and yet
they never invited her to join in
any of their after-offce fun. New
girls came into the concern and
were invited to jsin the coterie,
but she was always left out.
! turned the page and looked to
see if the letter had a postscript,
because the crux of any difficulty
is usually concealed there. and
sure enough it was-she chewed
gum necessarily publicly and pri-
vately. l advised her to chew in
front of her hand-mirror for ten
minutes and then decide if she
looked attractive.
When young men and women
fail to get on well socially or in
business. let them take stock of
their little personal habits and dis
cover if these CRATE on their as
sociateS or not. Are they invited
out, or do their friends pass them
by, time and time again, and if so,
what is the reason?
At all events. an excellent motto
to adopt would be my bitter young
friends phrase mo currying in
public"
