GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO
REVISE PENSION LAWS
Veterans Are Asked To Cooperate
With Ordinaries and Tax Re-
ceivers in Purging Lists

The Pension Commissioner of the
state of Georgia has requested the
ordinaries and tax receivers of the
state to investigate and make lists
Of those classes of Confederate sol
diers and widows residing in the sew
eral counties who will be, eligible un-
der the Constitutional amendments
ratified at the last election to pen
sion when the general assembly has
amended the pension laws of the state
so as to allow pensions to that class
heretofore excluded by reason of own
ing more than 81 500 worth of proper
ty and the widows who were married
before January /, 1881.
1t is requested that the camps of
Confederate Veterans and the Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy in each county
cooperate with these civil officers in
getting up these lists for the reason
that this information will be import
ant to present to the next general
assembly so that the number to be ad-
mitted to the pension rolls of the
state may be known and the amount
of money that will be required to
pay the pensioners for 1920 and the
succeeding years may be provided for.
The average pension to be paid will
be around 500 per capita for each
year.
The following letter on this subject
is self -explanatory
Pension Office, Atlanta, Ca,
J. M. Gam, April Fl, 1919.
Ordinary Cobb County.
Dear Judge-The General Assem-
bly, to convene on the 25th of June
next will be expected to amend the
pension laws to conform to the con-
stitutional amendment ratified at the
last November election so as to allow
pensions to that class of ex-soldiers
and widows heretofore excluded for
the reason of owning property in eX-
cess Of 81 800, and to allow pensions
to the widows of ex-soldiers who mar
ried before the list Of January, 1881.
Now, in order that / may be able
to make some estimate of the number
of soldiers and widows in the state of
these classes, and what amount it will
require to pay them, l wish to request
you to do me the favor to see your
tax receiver and that you and he make
list of all such soldiers and the wild
ows of such residing in your county,
whom you think will be eligible for
pension under the new law when
passed.
Kindly do me this favor for the
benefit of the old soldiers and widows
Of your county and send to me at
once, or at the earliest day possible
for you to make the list, which will
be appreciated by
Your true friend,
J. W. LINDSEY,
Commissioner of Pensions.

EMPEROR GIVES FUND
TO SALVATION ARMY

Word has just reached America
that the Emperor of Japan in an i'm
perial decree has bestowed an annual
fund upon the Salvation Army in
that country.
The Emperor, in giving this finan-
cial assistance to the Salvation Army,
recognized it as an official organiza-
ton and a part of the japanese En-
pire and has turned over all uplift
work to the men and women of the
Salvation Army Corps.
In his imperial decree, the Emperor
declared that he has watched the work
of the Salvation Army within the
confines of Japan for many years and
that it was after a thorough investi-
cation that it was decided to make
this imperial fund so as to allow a
scope to the Salvation Army in the
far east, broadened with time, and to
enlarge it's activities in Japan.
At first the japanese people were
almost awe stricken by the coming
of the Salvation Army workers into
the land of the chrysanthemum. 1t
was by hard work and diligent eff
forts on the part of S. A. workers
sent into the interior that they receiv-
ed the confidence of the people and
were allowed to proceed with their
work unhampered.
In addition to their work of upIift
and taking care of the.ill and needy,
the Salvation Army has implanted in
Japan a religious seed, which, in the
last few years, has asserted itself in
the advancement of Christianity.
The Japanese as a whole were at
first very unfriendly to newcomers in
their own country, but now the Civ
ing of large sum of money to the
Salvation Army is absolute proof of
their worth in Japan.

NEW EXCHANGE TELEPHONE RATES
EFFECTIVE MAY l, 1910

A new schedule of telephone exchange rates became
defective in Marietta May by direction of the Operating
Board of the United States Telegraph and Telephone Adj
Imnisration acting under the order of the Postmaster
General of the United States
AS you know, all Of the lines and property of this
company are in the possession control and are being
Ioperated by the United States Government under the
direction of the Postmaster General of the United States
The new rates are necessary in order that additional
revenue may be secured by the government to meet the
Increased operating expenses. The causes which make
Greater telephone revenue necessary due to the
conditions and the price levels introducedFby the
war are entirely beyond the control of the United States
Telegraph and Telephone Administration or OF the Tee
phone Company
More than two years ago the Company foresaw that
the telephone system would be operated at loss unless
the rates could be adjusted to meet the increasing costs
of all elements entering into the production of service
similar rate adjustment would have been unavoidable
under private control and the rate schedule prac
ticay the same we would have sought in 1913 if the
government had not taken possession OF our property
AS stated by the Postmaster-General the owners of
the telephone system do not benefit any way from rate
changes Practically all of the increased operating
expenses which require this additional are due
Ito increased wages paid to employees to enable them 10
meet the conditions of life in the present day.
1t is neither practicable desirable to reduce wages
and SO far as wages are concerned we pelleVe 'l"1
portion of the increased operating expenses to be pema
nent
The new rate schedule is fair and reasonable and the
percentage Of increased revenue which 1t Will produce
is much lower than the increased cost of other services
and commodities Of similar character.
Complete detailed information about the new rates
NAV be obtained at the managers Office We making
every effort to change our records promptly and your
courteous consideration will be appreciated. The new
rate for your service is shown your statement for May

SUNDAY CONTRIBUTION
FOR The BLIND IS ASKED

Governor Hugh M. Dorsey issued
the following proclamation:
The Executive Committee of the
Permanent Blind Relief War Fund
for Soldiers and Sailors of the AL
lies has recently been raising funds
for the soldiers and sailors Of the
Allied armies who lost their sight in
the war.
The money obtained by the Com
mittee has been used to educate pro-
perly those who have been blinded,
and equip and train them so that
they might be self-supportng.
Believing that we should consider
it not only a duty but privilege to
help in this Cause which seems to
me to be of the most worthy pre-
sented to US, l, Hugh M. Dorsey, Gov
ernor of Georgia, do hereby designate
Sunday, May 4th, as Allied Blind Re-
lief Day.
Because of the sympathy which we,
as citizens of a Christian Nation, feel
for this work, call especially the at
tention of our churches to the day,
and | take the liberty of suggesting
that wherever it is possible, the con-
tributions in the churches on this day
be devoted to the Blind Relief Fund.
Witness the hand and seal of the
Executive Department of the State
of Georgia on this, the oath day of
April, in the year of our Lord, one
thousand nine hundred and nineteen.
HUGH NJ. DORSEY.
Mrs. Charles Ellis is the State
Chairman in Georgia, of the Perman-
ent Blind Relief War Fund, whose
Headquarters are at 500 Fifth Ave-
nue., New York.
All checks and other donations
should be made payable to: Perman-
ent Blind Relief War Fund and mail
ed to Mrs. Charles Ellis, Savannah,
Georgia.
Contributions of Liberty Bonds
and War Savings Stamps are most
acceptable, and it is pointed out that
in this form the donations will serve
a doubly sacred purpose; they will
have helped the Government to win
the war and the blinded soldiers to
take their places again among their
fellow men with their spirit of self
reliance and independence restored.

Veil Inclined to Be OverdOne

The veil is another accessory that
has held sway for a long time and is
now inclined to be OverdOne. The
modistes have been showing the most
beautiful wells for the last year. The
majority of the hats have no trimming
on them whatsoever but are worn with
handsome veil.
Lewis showed some smart Spanish
wells in the early autumn that are now
being worn everywhere. They are
huge squares in the handsome Spanish
laces of rather heavy design which
are simply thrown over the hat and
left to fall loosely on the shoulders.
Many of the evening hats, tulle tur-
bans, have lace wells attached to them
in long streamers hanging over one
shoulder. The fad for wells of all de-
scriptions amounts to a craze and the
queer part of it is that the very few
est of them are ever worn over the
face.
Another smart accessory that is be-
coming a fad is the little Chinese
sweater made Of the new embroidered
silk jersey tissue. They can scarcely
be called sweaters but are long
blouses rather IN the mandarin order.

Both Impatient,

The other day an Irvington man
brought his wife and six-months-old
baby downtown. The baby was very
impatient whenever the parents
fingered long at any counter. Father
also was alarmed whenever mother
showed certain inclinations to buy.
But the worst came when they en-
tered the millinery department of a
store. Mother was frankly interested
in new fall model-interested to the
point of removing her hat and trying
on the new one. Just as she started
to take up the new one father played
his trump card. Don't take time to
do that now," he implored her. Don't
you remember how loud he cried when
you looked at waists In that other

FIND THEIR LIFE TOO DRAB
Ex-Soldiers, Returned to Civilian Po-
sitions, Yearn for the Excitement
of the Battle Field.

Recently the following advertise
ment appeared in the London Daily
News.
Young ex-soldier, three times wound
ed, will risk life for f200; tired of
life and all alone.-Write Box 1914,
67, Fleet street, e. G.
The News tells the story of the ad-
vertiser:
1.-THE writer of the above advertise
ment is an eX-stretcher bearer of the
X. A. NJ. G. He was awarded the Mill
tary medal in 1916 at Martinpuich and
later at Ypres, in 1917, won a bar to
the medal for bravery in assisting his
captain.
"They were together when shell
burst close to them, wounding both
severely. The stretcher bearer, though
wounded in four places and weak from
loss Of blood, helped his officer to
safety. After Is months in q hospital
with wounds and shell shock, he found
himself discharged with a so per cent
disability pension, which was later re-
duced to 40 per cent, making Sc a
week.
He was recommended to try light
outdoor work, and the local sub-com-
mittee suggested his becoming
groom. But as the work of a groom
is the reverse of light, he accepted the
suggestion of a relative in the r. A. +.
and became civilian clerk there.

tive yesterday land l am ashamed
to take it. There are two of us in my
office, and for weeks past, we have not
done a stroke. l find the enforced
idleness telling on my nerves. l can't
stand it.
When l was in France, although
| had been told l was anaemic and
would never see France, l found the
hardship and the danger brought out
the best there was in me. l could
rise to the occasion then, but now
want a chance, and that's what
made me send along that advertise
ment. Perhaps some cinema firm
might want someone for a particular

"He is not the only one, it seems,
who finds the humdrum life of peace
unbearable. A few days ago, four Off
GERS advertised themselves in a news
paper agony column as ready to en-
list in any capacity, in any campaign,
for any country, so long as there was
some fighting to be done. The lure of
danger is evidently another of wars

tasted blood find drab responsibility

ly the objection to handsome head
gear He is also showing narrow jet
bands, but always with the feathers to
soften the effect of the hard-looking
jet. One jet band is smart with
three question-mark aigrettes sticking
straight up in front.
Drecoll has always shown head
dresses with his evening models. They
have usually been on the Cleopatra
type with crowns of jewels or jet
crowns with high standing pieces in
front and more ornaments dangling
over the ears. One is always sure Of
seeing these at Drecolrs worn with
two or three strictly show dresses that
are the gems of the collection. This
season, however, he is showing a
greater variety, and many of the other
dressmakers are putting aside all
other accessories for the headdress.
Wear Bracelets Above the Elbow.
The sleeveless dresses have brought
another fad to the front recently, that
Of wearing bracelets above the elbow.
One never sees a bare arm now with
out the handsomest of jeweled brace
lets always above the elbow and al
most as high as the shoulder. The
fad was started about year ago when
Parisians commenced to wear jade
and onyx and all sorts of queer COM
position bracelets to bring good luck
AS they became more popular and

Far East and Near East.

To many of us who find the express
sions Far East and Near East in the
newspapers a little confusing, the fol-
lowing explanation is interesting: The
Far East comprises eastern Siberia,
China, Japan, Korea, ndo-China, the
Straits Settlements, and the islands ad-
jacent to the above countries. Some
times India is also included. The Near
East consist of the countries Of the
Balkan peninsula and Of Asia Minor,
including Armenia, Mesopotamia, Syr-
la, Palestine, Arabia and Persia.

They are very loose and slip on over
the head. The tissue is woven with
the little punches of Chinese flowers
all over it and band down one side
to carry out the Chinese effect. The
border also carries out the mandarin
effect. The blouse is worn with
broad loose belt embroidered in a Chi
nese design.
This same embroidered tricot fabric
also makes beautiful negligees of the
kimono design. The black embroidered
in blue and green and lined with blue
panne makes a smart kimono. 1t is
also made effectively into little house
capes lined with soft velvet.

branch of the Chesapeake & Ohio
railroad system in West Virginia. He
is DIR. Harry Halstead. When pa
tients failed to come to him fast
enough Halstead took a position as

pocket. During a recent week the
train was hailed four times by per-
sons who wanted teeth drawn. The

Head Bands Now
Great Paris Fad

The rapidity with which Paris is
picking up is to be noticed more in
the dressmaking establishments than
anywhere else, writes a Paris fashion
correspondent. All of the dressmakers
have as much as they can do and are
far behind with their orders on ac-
count of the scarcity of workwomen
and the difficulties encountered in pro-
ducing tissues fast enough Despite
Arizona state miner., 1919-11-28

the complaints from every direction
the dreSSmakerS get around the pro-
ductiOn question and women continue
to buy the most extravagant clothes
that are to be found.
The great fad for the moment which
helps to make the money go is the
elaborate head bands and headdresses
of all sorts. They are jeweled, aigret-
ted and paradised until they have
grown to form the greatest portion of
a woman's evening attire. Since Fash
ion has left so little to the dresses to
be described, it is we'll that she be-
lieves in covering the head.
Worth has been showing some beau
tiful creations in the way of jeweled
head bands and insists upon their be-
ing worn with all of his evening
dresses, especially the handsome black
spangled and jet models, for he says
that there is nothing that gives
touch of supreme elegance and at the
same time takes away the severe ef-
feet that black jet dress might be ac-
cused Of having as smart headdress.
One of his best head ornaments is
narrow band of black velvet (less than
an inch wide) outlined by brilliants
placed about quarter of an inch
apart. From each jewel tiny aigrette
spray protrudes, giving very soft,
fuzzy look to the band.
Paradise Sprays Sticking Straight Up.
This same band sometimes has
sprays of paradise sticking straight up
in front. The aigrettes and paradise
keep the brilliants from being too
startling in their effect, which is usual

Frightening the Furniture.

When dullness creeps over the
furniture, the wood, not the uphol-
stored part, this plan is said to be q
good one: To half-bucket of water,
add tablespoonful of olive oil. Using
soft cloth, wipe off the furniture.
Follow this with brisk polishing
with a dry cloth. You will be sur
prised to see the brilliant finish that
is revealed. Mahogany, particularly,
is benefited by this treatment.
