Our Ne. Law Making Body

The new Congress, which met
April 18th and has been in session
since that date, is known as the
sixty seventh.
The first one was assembled in
the spring OF 1889 when our new
government, with George Washing
ton as president, was just getting
under way. That was one hun
dred and thirty-two years ago this
spring; and since each Congress
lasts two years, there have been
just sixty-six since, from which it
follows that the present one is the
sixty-seventh in order.
The rule is that Congress shall
not meet until the first Monday in
December. However, there is so
much that is pressing for quick, de-
cisive action just at present that
President Harding lost no time in
calling special session.
Because OF his Office, Mr.. Cool
idge, the vice president Of the
United States, is president of the
senate; and the house Of represen-
tatives chose as it's presiding Off
Ger Representative Frederick FL.
Gillett, of Massachusetts. So these
two men will guide the delibera-
tons of sour national lawmaking
body during the next two years.
The present session seems to UNI
derstand that it is expected to dc
some real work. At any rate
about three thousand bills were in.
troduced the first day, fve-sixths
of which were presented in the
lower house. Many OF these, how
ever, were trivial, merely author

Thought Bird on Hat Was Real

The screams of woman in a
railroad station in Poughkeepsie,
n. y, brought waiting travellers to
their feet to see woman clawing
the air striking wildly at a
huge cat which had landed on her
shoulders. The cat had been
watching the stuffed bird on the
woman's hat, and, finally thinking
the bird was alive, had made a
spring for it. The cat was pulled
away, but the hat and bird were
ruined and the woman had to COM
plete her journey bareheaded.

 ATLANTA OPERA SALE
Heavy Demand for Seats Expected
 During Coming Week

Atlanta, March 5.--(Special )-Although a large number of out-of-town orders for season tickets to grand opera this spring has been received at the office of the treasurer for the Atlanta Music Fes- tlval association, veritable avalanche Of mail is expected during the coming week, with the opening of the season ticket sale Monday, March 2, if the many advance inquiries on the subject may be taken as an indication.
 The directors of the Music Festival association wish to stress the fact that three entire sections in the auditorium have been reserved one in the arena ana two in the dress circle until patrons from out of town have been taken care Of. Appreciating the large percentage Of attendance and support that has come rom visitors to opera, and the diff culty in many instances they have ex- perienced in securing satisfactory seats, the officials in charge determined upon this plan in order to assure them their share of the choice seats
 The season ticket sale will continue throughout March but mail orders will naturally receive attention in the order received, and the earlier they come in the more desrable<he seats. It is bet ter, therefore. not to delay in the matter. Checks should accompany mail orders and these addressed to c. B. BidweI Ctreasurer, Fourth National Bank build ling. Atlanta. Among the new singers who are arous- ing the keenest of interest is Gigl, the rew tenor of the Metropolitan company, who is expected to duplicate in Atlanta the sensation he has created in New York this season. He is said to possess a voice of unequal1ed charm, with the one exception of Caruso, and is even hailed as second Caruso. Gigli will sing Wednesday evening in "Mefistofele.'
 The program for the week, as pre- vicrslys announced, will include Monday evening, Andrea Chenier;' Tuesday matinee, La Boheme;' Wednesday evening, "Mefistofele;'' Thursday mati- nee, Massanet's ''Manon;" Friday even> ing, Aida" Saturday matinee. 'Rigo- letto.., Saturday evening E.'.Tosca.',

NOTABLE JEWISH LECTURER HANDS
 FORD FEW LABS
Rabbi Wise Refers to Recent Attacks From Dearborn With
 Semi Sarcasm at Meeting

Selma, March Special. )-"The real menace of Henry Ford and his snti-Jewish propaganda is not to the Jew, but to America declared pr. stephen S Wise, notable Jewish rab- bi of New York and orator. who ad- dressed large congregation of Jew ish people and their friends al Temple Mishkan Israel Friday evening, as the third speaker in the free lecture course arranged by pr. Isidore Isaac son. pr. Henry M Edmonds and Dt. Middleton $, Barnwell of Birmingham have hoth spoken here in the same lecture course.
 Should Henry Ford succeed in in- planting his doctrine in the minds of Americans the result would be utterly disastrous to this country, in which there is no room for class or creed hatred.
 America is not matter of cheap motors, but of precious motives" is a phrase dear little MT. Ford should know" said the speaker in dealing with bis subject, "The Strange Fi;- tons Concerning Jews"
 With one of his characteristic whimsicalities, he continued, "Fords come and Fords etimes-but the Jew goes on forever"
 As prophet of the old testament might have done Dr. Wise thunder ously- declared Henry Ford cannot hurt us, but a Jew (shall 1 say hap pily, or alas?) can," following his as- sertion with an appeal for highest principles among his people.
 Referring to three main "fictions" which keep the world from a true un- derstanding of Jewish characteristics and are doing spiteful hurt to the Jew, Dr. Wise offered eloquent rebuttal of the charges: First, that the Jew is unforgiving; second, that the Jew con- stitutes a closely knit solidarity such as the world has never known; third, that the Jewish people are Christ killers,
 Among his striking statements, refuting these charges were these: The Jew has no vindctiveness for the 1900 Christless centuries of suffer ing he has. endured. Were he vindica- tive, he would have time for nothing else"
 Jews are the most divided, the most atomic, the most hopelessly separated people in the world. The time when two Jews are at one is when they de- eide what a third Jew shall give to charity"

CABINET NOT TO INTERFERE WITH
 SIMONS' ACTION
Bx Associated Press

Berlin March 5.-Chancellor Fehren- bach informed the Reichstag today that the cabinet did not propose to inter fere with pr. Simons, the German foreign secretary, and his fellow dele gates to thH London separations con- ference He declared the cabinet was confident that the foreign secretary within the limits set.
 The chaneellor made his announce ment in the course of carefully formu- lated statement upon the reassem- bling of the Reichstag.
 Tn accordance with the directions approved by the Reichstag." he said, 'Dr. Simons was authorized to with hold his signature to obligations which the German people would be unable to fulfill. These institutions have not been and will not be changed The cabinet is confident pr. Simons will utilize to the utmost every opportunity to conclude negotiations within the limit set.'
 Herr Fehrenbach concluded by de- claring he was convinced the German people would acknowledge the sigma ture of their agent in. London if it covered an obligation which after a most careful investigation proved it did not go beyond the limit of pos sible achievement, but that the Ger man people be equally firm in support ing their envoys if they refuse to sign document which exacted fulfillment of any impossible demand.

PENALTIES PROBABLE

London, March <5.-Unless new inc structions are received from Berlin, Dr. Simons, the German foreign sec retary and head of the German dele gation on separations, will on Monday read long statement designed to refute the argument made by Premier Lloyd George before the conference on Thursday. This statement will probably be followed by counter pro- posals, which even the most optimistic of the German delegation do not be~ lieve the allies will accept.
 In such event the reparations con- ference will break up, the German delegates will return home and the penalties outlined by Mir. Lloyd George enforced.
 pr. Simons and his colleagues in collaboration With the Berlin cabinet, with which the foreign minister is in continual touch by wireless, have spent the greater part of the time since the delivery of the ultimatum in drawing up a reply thereto. The foreign min isters W i'll present figures in an endea- vor to prove that MT. Lloyd Georges statement respecting German taxation was inaccurate, and will ask the allies to suggest a means. whereby Germany can meet their economic demands. He will point out that while the Ger man 1ncome~ tax IS SmaB, German 1n- comes are proportionally small, owing to impoyerishment, due to the war.
 The amount the Germans assert, has already been paid on account Of leparations will be re-stated and Dr. Simons hopes that he will be allowei to repeat his arguments made at the opening of the conference, that largs 5 sums are due to Germany on account of stare property seized in German colonies and other territories. of which she has been deprived and which have not been taken into account by the allies. S
 s It Is a question, however, whether the conference will listen to' such ar guments as these. The French premi- CT, MT. Briand, is credited with the as- sertion that all the Germans have been sumoned for Monday is to ac- cept or reject the terms of the allies as laid down at Paris with the modifi-. cations mentioned in MT. Lloyd Georges speech.
 The Germans, through Dr. St. Haucr, the German ambassador at London. and Eord D'Abernon, British ambas. sador to Germany, have. made efforts to get in touch with the allies for rrivate conversations with some 5nsas4ye ssof success.

 -As can be seen by the above figures, the enrolment in the girls clubs showed an increase of 4S per cent in 1920 over 1919 while the women's clubs increased over 69 per cent, and the value of club pi oducts increased 72.5 per Ncent.
 REQUIREMENTS
 When the work first started nine years ago, there were no plans or outlines to follow. Now there are strict require ments ass to the quality of productsa.pro- duced. and also as to what each county home demonstration agent must do. In the first place, there must be 10 girls clubs with minimum of 70 for the first year counties and 100 for other counties while enrolment in the womep's worA must include at last 100.
 Other requirements consist of county short course or club rally, certain amount of gardening and poultry club work, and a well-outlined study and dem- onstration of nutrition Each county hav- ing a home demonstration agents must also have in attendance two girls at the state short course for club girls and two women at the state short course for women At least one exhibit must be made during the year showing the diff ferent phases of the work.
 VARIED SUBJECTS
 In addition to the absolute require ments. the optional activities include such productive subjects as bookkeeping, dairying, home orchards and broom making Gardening and poultry raising are under the head of requirements and include not only simple gardening and poultry raising, but sewing, cooking. household management, etc.s Dairying was a very important project in 1920, and the present indications are that it will be more important in 1921.
 In brief home demonstration work was conducted in 1920, as in former years, not only for the purpose of making the homes more inviting, healthful and at tractive but also to make farming more productive by teaching better methods or gardening, poultry raising, bookkeeping, dairying, etc, and thereby increase the farm income. which is always recog- nized as greatly important.

Auburn. March 5.-tSpecial)-A report of home demonstrationzworlz in Alabama for the year 1920 has now been prepared by Miss Mary Femmear, state home demonstration agent. and her, assistants, Misses May l. Cureton, Elizabeth Maul- din, Nina A. Willis, Helen Johnston and Gladys Tappan, and though it is writ ten in a very brief form, it shows in a very conclusive way the accomplishments for the year concerned.
 In the first place, it defines home dem orstration work by stating that il is that branch of agricultural extension which applies directly to the women and giris. II had it's beginning in Alabama in 191I when canning clubs for girls were organ ized in Pike and Walker counties with an enrolment of s4 girls, who conducted simple demonstrations in growing ana canning tomatoes. Since that time the work has broadened in its scope until it now includes gardening, poultry rais- ing, bee keeping, dairying, sewing. mar keting, canning, food preparation, house. hold management, child welfare, health lessons efc
