La Fayette Memorial

A society of Americans in France
working with the cooperation OF
many prominent French people have
in the last four years established a
memorial to La Fayette that takes
the form of school, an orphanage, a
pre-tubercular sanitarium, or preven-
forum as it is called, and also a mu-
scum. The memorial is located in the
old La Fayette chateau with us acres
of surrounding land, part of the
former estate of the family for cen
turtles back. The restoration of the old
building which houses the museum
with its interesting relics, and the adj
dition of numerous new structures
equipped in the most modern and
practical way for vocational and for
athletics, make it an institution of
usefulness. Boys from eight to six
teen receive splendid schooling while
200 delicate children from to II
years, mostly war orphans are treated
and taught as their condition permits.

LET'S STOP IT!--The automobile is an nstru-
ment of death if carelessly driven Run by a
drunken driver it is potential juggernaut. Every
thing possible should be done to prevent persons
under the influence of liquor from running cars
and those who disregard the laws in this respect
should be jailed and their licenses taken away
forthwith The risk to the public is too great to
permit driving by persons who because of liquor
are not in full possessin of their faculties

Distance

A ton of freight on the average,
travels more than 800 miles to desti-
nation. The average haul in 1900 was
PAP miles Steadily population becomes
more congested in important centers.
People get farther and farther from
sources OF production. Transportation
is the greatest economic problem and
each year the solution is farther off
instead of closer.

Is a College a Building?

This question had to be settled in
the supreme court of Georgia, whether
tax free exemption applied solely to
a building or else group of buildings
or whether surrounding farm land cul-
tivated for the benefit OF the colleges
should be also exempt from taxes. A
suit against church school, an injunc
ton by the association and the action
of the supreme court established the
ruling that i'll the case of school OPP
Grating a farm the land is a necessary
part of the college equipment and not
subject to tax. In the particular in
stance it was shown that the land was
not operated for profit but to furnish
supplies to the students and that the
institution was not self sustaining but
sustained by voluntary gifts.

Teas and Tears

There is trouble in the West End
Woman's Club in Atlanta-autocratic
methods of the present president and
her personal friends in the Executive
Board reused the ire OF club members
generally, and called forth an indigna-
ton meeting and resolutions galore,
especially after the expulsion of one
member and the requested resignation
of another. The whole controversy re-
wolves about a usurpation of authority
on the part of one or another and es-
pecially dealing with the selection of
club house site on which there is a
great partisan feeling. The matter has
now reached the courts with subpoe-
mas and contempt of court proceedings
for those who have ignored their sub
poenas. The legal aspects will be
brought to focus on March 8, mean
while executive sessions and teas
among the factions provoke heart
aches and tears.

Democracy and Dress

No surer indication can be seen OF
the democratic ifluence at work in
England and Ireland than in the mat
ter of formal dress. In Ireland the
plan to abolish wigs and gowns for
judges and members of the bar is one
just now receiving almost equal dis
cussion with the establishing of more
modern legal system in place of the
traditional one of centuries past This
measure now before the Senate is not
expected to pass without vigorous
protest as the legal profession is still
strongly attached to its wigs and
gowns. In England there grows more
and more laXiety regarding formal
court dress. and since the labor party
is in power there is expected more
drastic change in style than ever seen
before for the two reasons that the
working men will not take so kindly
to fancy garb, feeling i'll at ease in
wearing it, while the minimum price
for the court suit now in vogue with
a gold braided coat silver buckles and
silk stockings, etc, being $1,000, makes
possession OF one just about unattain-
able. 1t is we'll known that even now
these suits are not always owned by
their wearers. but rented at fancy
prices from court tailorS.

Pretentious "Town House"

The Aviation Town and Country
Club Of Detroit is planning the expend
iture of $2,000,000 on 81 story town
house to be erected during the next
two years. 1t will rise 352 feet above
the street level and then be further
topped with 200 foot Zeppelin tower
so large and strong as to afford moor
ing for aircraft like the Shenandoah.
This tower will be 552 feet high, equiv
alent to 50 stories. In its architectural
arrangements, this club house will sur
pass in magnificence any other in the
world. The swimming pool will be
large enough for water polo, and its
golf course will accommodate Is per-
sons at one time, while no social fea-
lures will be overlooked in its floor
arrangements. Sixteen stories will be
turned into living quarters for mem
bers, as the advantages of this club
building makes its appeal to the en-
tire family as we'll as the I.ydual
