FREEDMAN SHOP
 OPENED MONDAY
Crowds Throng Exclusive Ladies' Apparel Store
 Throughout Day

Monday marked the opening in Bir- mingham of what is regarded as one of the smartest and most up-to-date women's shops in the south, when the doors of the new Augusta Friedman Shop, Inc, were thrown open to the public for the first time. Throughout the day enthusiastic admirers thronged the new quarters, expressing with super lative adjectives their admiration of the decorations and fittings of the new home of what is said to be on of the most complete establishments of it's kind to be found anywhere.
 Extreme care was used by Mrs. Fried man in the selection of decorations for the new home, and the result is one of pleasing richness. Everything with a tendency towards gaudiness has been carefully eliminated, with quite good taste reigning supreme. Probably the most praised section of the shop was the front of the second floor, used for millinery and ladies' readyto-wear. With a quiet cream-colored background, this section of the shop has been fur nished in antique style, and the quaint old blue benches and high-backed chairs were subjects of much admiring com ment. High paneled mirrors and mod ern display cases are tastefully display ed throughout the millinery section.
 Display Rooms Feature
 An added feature of the millinery de- pertinent, which is in charge of Paul Miller of New York and Oklahoma, is several private display rooms that are placed at the customers disposal while in the shop.

in the methods of laying modern lino. leum floors.
 Fine linoleum, instead of being tackled down, IS laid over a lining of builders deadening felt, which is pasted to the wood subfoor. An experienced lino- leum layer pastes the linoleum to the felt, closely joining and waterproofng the edges, and extends the linoleun beneath the moulding round the walls.
 Then, no matter how much the wood base expands in summer or contracts in winter, thelinoleunhoor doesnot stretch or crack, but is always smooth and sani- tary. The added service and wear that this method gives are worth the cost.
 Wdx fine linOleGnr floors If you wax such floor regularly (rub- ping the wax thoroughly in), its beauty actually improves with time. Waxed hnoleum floors will last for many, many years and will look even richer as time goes on. They will grow mellow like fine old furniture.
 Do not use strong soaps and scrubbing powders. They will inlure any Iinoleum floor. Should washing become necessary. use mild soap like Ivory, but ordinarily daily wiping with dust-mop is all the cleaning waxed linoleum floor requires.

WILSON MEMORIAL
SCHOOL ASSURED Of
Wake SUPPORT

Plans for founding a school for
boys at Valdosta, to be known as
the Woodrow Wilson Memorial col
lege, and 10 stand as a monument
to the war president erected by the
people Of Georgia, were advanced
Monday when a delegation Of Val
dosta citizens called upon Governor
Walker and the Atlanta Chamber
Of Commerce seeking cooperation in
the movement. In both Instances
the proposition met with hearty APP
prevail
Governor Walker assured the COM
mittee that he will do everything in
his power for the new institution,
and pointed out that the proposed
location is unusually desirable, be-
cause of the splendid territory
around Valdosta, and also on account
of the fact that there is no college
for boys in Georgia south Of Macon.
The governor agreed to send a COM
mittee to Washington, if necessary,
to seek the support of the national
Wilson memorial organization.
The Valdosta committee, appointed
by the mayor of that city, included
DR.. r. c. Mizell, former president of
Sparks college; c. l.. Smith and j.
T. Mathis. They explained that it is
the plan to remove Sparks college
from Sparks to Valdosta, as the foun-
dation for the new institution. The
college has been in existence fer 20
years, but has been limited to the
teaching of preparatory courses. 1t
is Methodist institution, but the
new college is to have representa-
tives of all denominations on the
board, it was stated.
Citizens of Valdosta already have
subscribed more than 100000 for its
foundation. This amount will be suf-
ficient for the present needs Of the
school, it was said. and therefore the
state will not be asked to contribute
anything to the institution. Governor
Walker was assured.
DIR. Mizell said it is the plan to
open the new school with a two
year course, but to enlarge the cur
riculum as rapidly as possible until
Woodrow Wilson Memorial college
will take rank with the leading col.
leges of the south. He pointed out
that it Will be the only college be
tween Mercer university at Macon
and the University of Florida at
Gainesville, and will have $50 miles
to draw from.
