the most mysterious of persons in
Valdosta just now MS committee of
Shriners who are charged with pro-
viding the public stunts for the pa
rade on Shriners' Day, April rs. They
are busy as can be, and while they tell
nothing, they indicate much. 1t is
safe to say that the parade which
they are arranging for the day will
be a sight worth beholding, in addi-

off all during the day. Plans are be-
ing made to entertain at least 1000.

Mr.. Williamson reports a remarkable
increase in general business for un-

WASHINGTON, April 15.-Run-
ming uppermost in the minds of the
house members as they squared away
today for their first big fight over
the enlisted personnel section Of the
naval bill was the thought that if
they cut it to $1,000 men the senate
would increase it. Some had advo-
Gated split between the committee
figures and the Macarthur amendment
calling for $4,000, which has the en-
dorsement Of the president, but as 1T
had narrowed down to straight test
between the "big" and little" navy
men, neither side seemed willing to
compromise. Many hours of debate
We're ahead of the vote, which was
expected late in the day.

Tables have been sent for 125 per sons. The members of the board Of directors of the Y. M. c. A. have been invited by Secretary c. H. Barnes and the members of the New Britain Industrial council have been invited by President M. k. Pasco.
 Rev. John l.. Davis will speak on '"The God of Nations and of Men. v Because of the increased size of the class it has been found necessary to have the members of the HiY club which formerly had their luncheon with the John l.. Davis class, to move to a nearby room. Heretofore both organizations would meet together for supper, then the boys would adjourn to the junior department where diff ferent speaker would address them. Last Thursday it was found the oan- auet hall was not large enough to hold both organizations any longer. The boys found it necessary to move to an adjoining banquet hall on the same floor, where they will eat and listen to their speaker at the same time.

 SOVIET GOVERNMENT
Leader Of Womcn's Party Tells Sex That 1t Has Not Proper Amount
 of Recognition at Present

Moscow, Jan. 2.-Madame Alexan- dra Kollanty, one of the leaders of the Russian feminist movement, charges, in an article she has writ ten in the Pravda, that petty bour- geoisie narrowness and superstition are preventing women having the voice they merit in the Soviet govern ment.
 She says that no woman was a vot- ing delegate at the Communist con- ference preceding the Ninth All-Rus- sian Soviet congress held here and that only 24 women were included among the 2,O00 voters at the Con- gross, despite the fact that 50 per cent of Russian voters are women.
 She alleges that women are very active in politics but less than three per cent of the membership of town Soviets is represented by women, and in the village Soviets they have only two-tenths of one per cent of the membership.
 Furthermore, she states there are only five women members in the Gen. traI Executive Committee of 300 which is Russia's chief governing body.
 Madame kollanty declares that such discrimination against women greatly retards the reestabishment of agriculture in which peasant women play an important part.

INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE
Prof. Murray Feels Either Ido or Es- peranto Should Be Adopted For
 League of Nations Sessions

London, Jan. 9.-Professor Gilbert Murray, vice-chairman of the execn- tive committee of the League of Ma tions, says the necessity of an inter- national language was forcibly borne upon him when attending the recent meetings of the League of Nations at Geneva. ..
 ''If you spoke in English" he said, lit was translated into French; if in French it was translated into English and if anybody knew neither English nor French that was his own look out"
 On the whole, he thought the na- tura way out of the difficulty would be for the League to recognize one of the two artificial international lan- 'guages, either Esperanto or lido.
 The latter for most Europeans was easier. To non- Europeans there were certain advantages in Esperanto, which had smaller number of roots.
