THE BOOK OF ANN.
Find 1t Mighty Hard to Match
Flowers and Food.

For AIMS visitors, Midget and
Corinne Caryl, 1 gave an informal
luncheon at my own house. Mother
Lorimer came, and Chrys as well as
Ann and her mother, Mrs. Best. ]
planned to let Jappy, the gardener,
have his way about decorating the
rooms, but l discovered, to my dis
may, that he had most lavish way of
doing things for Mrs. Bob Lorimer.
Nothing in his sacred gardens was
too good for the occasion. He sug-
gested to his lilies-the blossoms
from his precious imported bulbs, so
difficult to obtain this year. But /
knew that he would cut so many of
them that their odor would take the
taste out of the soup, so l suggested
the flowers from his blue garden
and nothing but blue. 1t didn't seem
to me that Jappy could heap too
many of that cool color in my rooms.
And | unpacked my choice blue
Copenhagen dishes, and then had all
kinds of trouble planning a white"
menu which would look well when
served on the blue china.

Albany Aroused. by
Speeding, to Stop 1t

ALBANY, July 29.-State laws
and city ordinances regulating the
use of automobiles will be more rig
idly enforced in Albany if action
taken by the city council is made
effective
Excessive speeding on the newly
paved streets and driving of automo-
biles by children under 16 years of
age were the principal violations dis
cussed by council and members ex-
pressed the opinion that unless some
thing drastic is done to put stop to
these dangerous practices there may
follow direful consequences that will
shock the entire community.
To stop the speeding, Mayor II.
A. Peacock was authorized to pur-
chase a motorcycle, and employ a
special motorcycle officer to appre-
bend violators of the speed ordi-
nances of the city. 1t was pointed
out by members of council that the
city has jurisdiction on the incoming
roads for a distance of one-half mile
from the city limits, and that auto
mobiles exceeding speed limit of 80
miles an hour coming in on these
roads are subject to prosecution. 1t
is the intention to have the motorcy-
Gle officer patrol these outlying
stretches of road, as we'll as the
streets of the city, especially the
newly paved blocks and make cases
against all violators apprehended.

"Will all of them be actresses?'
queried innocent Ann.
When the chorus of our laughter
had subsidized she went on with hen
pretty pout:
well, YOU see, Alexandra Carlisle
made one of the nominating speeches
in Chicago, and Izetta Jewell Brown
was booked for the San Francisco
convention.
Women have learned a lot when
they have found out that it takes
experience and training to making a
telling public speech. I've tried it,
you know, in the war bond drives.
There's an art in it-and no easy
one to acquire! The stage women
certainly excel in it."
"Chrys, why don't you tell the
girls that you've been invited to tour
the country as a campaign speaker"
asked mother.
Because Pm not going to accept"
said Chrys. Il can do my best work
by using all the money daddy will
give US girls to get out the voting wo-

"You mean to help organize a ma
tional woman's party?" asked Midget.
Certainly not that, my dear. l
mean to convert the women who think
just like Miss Caryl does"
"Why-don't you believe in a wo-
mans party?" asked the younger
girl with the composure of one whose
opinions are based on prejudice.

KNIGHT TAXACT
Wins In HOUSE
Would Distribute Auto
Receipts on Basis of
Mileage

ATLANTA, July Without de-
debate the Knight resolution which
seeks to distribute 1881 ,O39.57 of
the motor vehicle tax fund among
the counties of the state consistent
with the post road mileage has passed
the house. The present bill, which
is substitute, leaves the supervision
of the road work of the state under
control of the Highway commission
and provides that IL per cent of the
fees collected shall be devoted to its
purposes. 1t only affects the present
accumulated fund of 1891, O39.57
and does not indicate that the road
program of the Highway commission
planned ION congressional districts
will be sidetracked.
1t is likely that the Knight resolu-
ton will be more strongly opposed
in the senate than it was at first in
the house.

 The main work Of the local office. which has been in operation only since the first of the month. is to issue permits for the use of alcohol and liquors.
