Huge Tobacco Crop in
South Georgia Is Seen

Tobacco demonstrators who have
covered most Of south Georgia's
tobacco belt in the past few days
say that present indications point
to a crop in 1925 that will total at
least 100000 pounds. Agricultur
lists point out that at last years
prices crop of that size would
bring approximately 100000.
The production of bright leaf to-
bacco in the Carolinas in 1924 fell
off well over 1OO,000,000 pounds, as
compared to the previous year and
there is no chance of the increased
production in Georgia offsetting
that shortage, it is declared.

BUDAPEST, Aug. 29.-Jumping
the matrimonial traces for occasional
love adventures by either or both
parties in the world of the stage, or
art or Of literature, cannot be judged
by the same standards that apply to
the ordinary, every day citizen. Nor Is
wedlock in those circles taken to be so
exclusively possessive or serious as to
exclude amours.
Art. literary and stage people, liv-
ing strongly emotional lives, look up
on such friendships" with a tolerant
understanding and do not consider
them necessarily immoral.
These are points brought out in the

Trained POlicewOmen
Are in Great Demand,
Council Here Is Told

The demand for trained police
women is becoming so great through
out the country that special courses
in such work are being conducted
in many of the leading schools and
universities, the international Coun-
Gil of Women was told today by
Doctor Valeria H. Parker, of New
York.
In Washington special training
is being given large number Of
young women, to become police
executives, at George Washington
University. A similar course is
soon to be opened in the University
Of California
Doctor Parker said women were
especially fitted for cases involving
delinquency and immortality. If
there were more women police there
would be a decrease in immoral con-
ditiOns, she said.
The poIicewomen in London are
now attired in natty blue uniforms
and are doing exceptionally good
work in the prevention Of crime as
a result, it was stated by Miss Alice
Tancred, chief of the women's bureau
at London. The uniformed women
are used in addition to the plain
clothes women, the latter class be-
ing used largely in investigation
work.
A resolution urging members TO
appointed with the same status and
responsibilities as men in the ser
vice was passed unanimously. An
other resolution urging abolishment
of state regulation of vice also was
passed. Both resolutions were in
trOduced by Madame Avril Sainte-
Croix, of France. chairman Of the
equal morals standard committee.
Unusual interest and a wide diff
ference of opinion among the dele
gates marked the discussion OF a
resolution introduced ny the sUf-
frage committee urging women in
enfranchised countries 10 join politi-
cal parties and then form grOups
within their own party for the dis
cussion of their special interests.
A motion to Shelve the resolu-
ton, presented by Frue kielburg,
of Norway, was defeated. The
resolution was indorsed by America,
Germany, Norway, Finland, and
most of the other countries where
women now have vote.
