ADJUSTMENTS
At The Fort Armstrong.

Mother O'Mine" continues to
draw capacity evening audiences at
the Fort Armstrong. With mater
ial devotion as the theme, and
cleverly involved melodramatic
plot as its moving factor, Thomas
H Ince has woven with charac-
teristic skill in his latest produc-
ton Mother O'Mine," which will
continue at the Fort Armstrong the
balance of the week. Woven also
into the drama, and adding mater
tally to its excellence and strength,
are five strikingly contrasted char
acterizations, intelligently inter-
preted by an all stra cast-Lloyd
Hughes, Joseph Kilgour, Betty
Blythe, Betty Ross Clark and
Claire Mcdowell.
A novelty is being used in con-

When Harold and Clarence re-
covered from the shock Harold
tried to rouse Frank with one hand.
His other one was useless. Clarence
ran for the Jake Brandmeyer resi-

old followed a few seconds later.
Police were notified, the ambu-
lance called and first aid admins

Soon afterward the boys were taken
to their homes.

Most of the automobile race
scenes for the Paramount picture,
The Roaring Road" which stars

Captain Eddie Rickenbacker, the
American Ace of Aces, Teddy Tetz-

Atlanta Mamas to
Curb Their Daughters
Breakfast at a. m. and Auto Wreck
Is Main Cause of Mass Meeting of
That CitY's "First Families"

ATLANTA, Ga.-A recent night
some of the society set enjoyed IA
mouSly a dance at one of the highly
fashionable resorts. In the very small
hours, after starting home, the car
i'll which they were riding was drawn
alongside the roadway and stopped to
indulge in last cigaret. Another car
dashing along crashed into it and one
young lady and two young men were
seriously injured, all of them of the
"F. F. G."
A few days later another dance was
arranged for the night and the an
nouncement carried the statement that
breakfast would be served at the club
at a. m"
Sequel: A mass meeting of mothers
of Atlanta was called to be held at
the Woman's club, on upper Peach
tree street, membered almost exc'l
sive1y by the first families of Geor-
gia," at which time the sole topic of
conversation, debate and a vote was:
At what time shall we put the de-
butants to bed?
The president of the club organiza-
ton has said she called the meeting in
response to urgent appeals from
scores of mothers" who made the
plea that some method be devised to
bring to an end or at least temporize
the high life" customs now in vogue
the ''late hours and wholesale dissi-
patton" that are going on in the So
cial set.
Drastic resolutions designed to Grad
icate drinking at dances in Atlanta, to
put an end to all-night dances and
late suppers, and to eliminate auto
mobile rides after entertainments were
adopted at the meeting.
Among the regulations were the
following:
All dances must close promptly at
II o'clock, midnight
Adequate chaperones must be pro-
vided and must remain in the hall I'M
til the dance is over.
Allow no person on the floor who
has INDUCED in liquor
Provide a traffic policeman at the
door of' the hall to see that all young
people are started home safely.
The concurrence of all colleges, fra
ternities, dance hall managers and
clubs in the enforcement of the reg
ulations was asked.
Parents were asked to refuse to per-
nit their sons and daughters to at
tend dances where the regulations out
lined are not observed.
Between 500 and 900 Atlanta wo-
men were present at the meeting.

ALL THE MEN Do
IN RAPA is TO EAT
WOMEN EVEN TOSS THE FOOD

SEX ALSO DOES WORK.

PAPEETE, Tahita, June 10,-Rapa
(Rapa Iii, to give its full name) an
island about 200 miles south of Tahi-

deed, they have no fashions at all eX-

be supplied at very rare intervals by
the good people of Tahati when the
missionary schooner chances to be go

the tired business man. 1t is a place
where the wicked cease from troubling

of the masculine gender. In Kappa the
women do all the work-tilling the
fields; preparing the meals, and even
feeding their lords and masters. All
the men have to do is to go out on
am occasional fishing expedition; and
the rest of the time to sleep. When
dinner time arrives they are awaken
ed and the women of the house feed
them by rolling the food in little NOR
sells and tossing them into their
mouths The only efforts they are
obliged to make is the act of chewing,
and when this wearies them they re-
sumo their slumbers until the next
meal time.
Unfortunately, Rapa is remote and
inaccessible. There is no direct COM
munication from Tahiti except when
the French gunboat makes voyage
that way (once a year or so) or the
missionary schooner makes its rounds
even less often.
Being well out of the tropics the
cocoanut tree does not thrive there;
the only product of any commercial
value being coffee. This is not how
ever, worth going after, as sufficient
coffee is raised in Tahiti and the near

Scientists are interested in Rapa on
account of some massive stone works
situated on the hills that look like
Notifications. Who built them and for
what purpose are problems yet I'M

Representatives from the Bishop
museum, of Honolulu, now in these
islands, are endeavoring to get Rapa
in order to study these remains and
to solve the mystery of their builders.

Dqwsonian Club of
State Normal School

For a year or more we have striven
for the results that this season will
bring. We are ready for the battle.
We go forward with steady hand,
that has been guiding us all the way,
still on the helm and with a promise
in our hearts that we will do our best.
That is the real test. The life OF the
student is sweet and happy. 1t is more
or less care-free. Now we must part,
some going into the byways of life
to win the strife while others continue
their training for future work. Ours is
to teach We feel that we realize in
a way what the calling demands, and
we are determined to win. Through
our training in the Normal school we
have learned that the best development
of the child is our mission, to bring
him to the heights and show him the
real things of life as they have been
given to us; that is our commence
ment symbolic of the beginning OF a
new life, and as we look into the fu-
ture with the characteristics of youth,
ambitiously yet hesitatingly selecting
our profession and life work, we see
it as pictured by Browning:
"Not that amazing mass OF flowers,
youth sighed, which rose makes ours,
which lily leaves, and then as best
recall"
So youth heated by ambition, love
and life rushes into the future to &C
complish, to achieve. Through our
work may the work of the State Nor
NAL school be a credit to the state
and may we say:
School of our joy, our love, our pride,
Oh, Alma Mater, we pledge to thee,
Head, heart and hand through the
years to be.
Now may we our lives for mankind
spend,
And faith, love and joy always abide
Till we have reached our journeys
end,
Till we have come to life's eventide.
After the very successful COM
mencement with its beautiful pageants
and inspiring addresses from noted
orators meeting of the board of
trustees was held and great things
were planned for our alma mater, but
these things can be accomplished only
with your help. May their handiwork
be the advancement of education in
Georgia. Yours for a greater normal
school. DAWSONIAN CLUB,
OF the State Normal School,

students of S. N. S. please send their
names and addresses to me as coun-

In olden times it was believed that
the seat OF the soul was the stomach,
most likely for the reason that man

when his stomach is out of order. For
