A DELIGHTFUL EVENT
AT PARSONS HOME.


Mrs. Nora Parsons entertained the
Anthony Epworth Leag le delightful
ly Friday evening, at her home near
Americas.
The living room and the hall were
thrown together, where the young
people were received. The verandas
were beautifully decorated with cut
flowers, and they bore out the league
colors Of white and gold.
Games were enjoyed both on the
verandas and on the lawn. Music
was furnished by Miss Blanche Suggs,
Miss Beatrice Conners and Maggie
Peel. Punch was served from a table
artistically arranged at the end of the
veranda. Presiding over the punch
bowl were Misses Nannye and Eva
White and Miss Ruby Simpson.
After the serving of punch a jour
nal was read, which was edited by the
league members. At the conclusion
the following poem was read:
BE A BOOSTER.
Do you know there's lots Of people,
Settin' round in this here town,
Growlin' like broody chicken,
Knockin' every good thing down,
Don't you be that kind O crouch,
Cause they amt no good on earth;
You Just be a booster rooster,
Crow and boost for all you're worth.
If your league needs boosting,
boost it;
Don't hold back and wait to see
Ii some other fellows willin'
Sail right in; this league is free,
No ones got mortgage on it;
It's just yours as much as mine
You know our league has many
boosters,
So come on leaguers, fall in line.
If things just don't seem to suit you,
And they all seem kinder wrong,
What's the matter with a booster,
Just to help the thing along?
Cause if things should stop agoin'
We'd be in an awful fix;
You just keep that horn a-blowin'
Lay aside your knocks and kicks.
If you know some feller's failing
To do all just what he should,
There's more need then for your
boostin'
Come on; help-do something good.
We should all then work together;
Each one do what e'er he can;
Try to make this league of ours
Just the best league in the land.
-Nannye White, 3rd Supt.

ARE YOU FIT TO MARRY?

The greatest and most powerful
sex problem play of the age, "Are
You Fit To Marry" is being shown
at the Opera House this afternoon
and tonight. This production deals
with a subject which is of vital i'm
portance to all humanity and shows
fully and clearly the results of un-
clean living and the consequences of
lack of discretion between the sexes.
The picture was produced by DR.. H.
J. Haiselden, of Chicago, who shock
ed the medical profession and scien-
tific world when he refused to operate
on the famous Bollinger baby and
save its hopelessly defective life.
The plot presents an argument for
national eugenic marriage laws, and
the healthy nation that would result
from healthy babies in a foreword,
and then it brings out in a drama
form in a story written by the maga-
zine writer, Jack Lait. The story is
very interesting, dignified and one
that Will make those who view it
think, especially after they have seen
the pathetically sub-normal children
that the doctor uses for his argu-
ments. The leading roles are taken
by DIR. Haiselden and a cast of famil-
lar supporting people, including Ham
ilton Revelle, Elsie Desmond, Henry
Bergman and Jane Fernley. Every
man and woman who is interested in
the progress of the human race should
make it his or her business to see it.
The performances will be as fol-
laws. Ladies' OnlV 2 to p M Men
only, 7:15 to II P. M.

ATLANTA CLERGY
RAP De VALERA
Visit Of Rebel Irish
Leader Stirs Protest
ant Pastors

ATLANTA, May 3.-Ministers of
the gospel and religious leaders gen
orally IN Atlanta, as well as lead
ers in protestant churches from other
sections Of the state, continue to dis
cuss the recent visit here of Eamonn
de Valera, alleged president of the
unrecognized Irish republic, and with
one accord they condemn the recog-
milton given the visitor. Despite
Valera's protestations, in public ut
terances here, that the movement was
not a religious one, his critics, and
he seems to have few defenders, un-
hesitatingly declare that he repre-
sents that type of Catholics seeking
to overthrow the Protestant church
in the old country. Valera says
churchmen here, belongs to the Sim
Feiners, or Irish Bolshevists" and
he and his followers gave their sup
port to Germany during the world
war.
A noticeable feature of Valera s
reception here was the welcome ex-
tended him by white beribboned
committees which are said to repre-
sent the Catholic organizations.
Three Atlanta ministers have al
ready denounced Valera and one
minister, Rev. J. Sprole Lyons, pas
tor of the First Presbyterian church,
numerically scored Rev. J. A. H.
Irwin, a Presbyterian minister, who
accompanied Valera.
DR.. Lyons was invited to introduce
the Irish leaders, but declined, and
in so doing declared that, in his opin-
ion, de Valera and his whole party
ought to be deported instead of be-
ing extended the codrtesies of the
community.
This assertion has just been re-
peated by DIR. Lyons in sermon to
his congregation and he read to his
congregation a cablegram from Bel
fast, Ireland, received in Atlanta
since de Valera's departure, declar-
ing that Rev. Mr. Irwin's mission in
the United States is entirely repu-
dated by the Irish Presbyterian as
sembly as we'll as by his Presbytery
and congregation, and that his re-
ported statements as representing the
Irish Presbyterians are mass Of
falsehoods and Misrepresentation.
Rev. J. W. Ham, pastor of the Bap-
tist Tabernacle, in a sermon to his
congregation since de Valera left the
city, commended AtIanta's mayor for
refusing to recognize de Valera as
the Irish president and criticised the
head of the chamber for entertain
ing the visitor. He severely raped
the Catholic movement behind de
Valera. Gypsy Pat Smith, Scottish
veteran of the World War, at the
Baptist Tabernacle, denounced de
Valera. The Baptist Tabernacle
congregation passed resolutions urg-
ing the governor and mayor not to
recognize de Valera officially and this
was not done.
