Mrs. Lee Wins
PIaudits AS a Dreamer

The District presidents of the
State Federation of Women's Clubs
were asked by the program commit
tee of the recent convention IN Au-
gusta to prepare a speech under the
title of "a Dream" to be delivered
at the opening evening session. Mrs.
Lees dream was so we'll received that
it was solicited for publication and
the Leader has the privilege of first
presenting it.
During the four months that I've
been president of the Bird District
Federation of Women's Clubs my
dream has been one night mare af-
ter another.
When the Tallulah Falls Biennial
Year Books were released in Decem-
Der and l turned the pages and read
there on 3rd District, None, None,
None" | began to walk in my sleep
But it came to pass at the end OF
these four full months that | had
wonderful dream, and in my dream
behold there was school before me-
and children were ascending and de-
scending a mountain. In this school
there were many branches taught,
and it were as though it budded and
her blossoms shot forth and the bios
SONS changed into bright children IN
groups thereof that had been brought
forth from the weeds that grew upon
the mountain tops.
And behold, there was a cup IN
nv hand, and as | looked into 1t
there appeared the clubs Of the 3rd
District. | took the cup and pressed
il and there came forth from 1t
$4,000. l gave the cup filled INTO
Mrs. Ottley's hand. And now yet
during these three days that we are
gathered here, may the powers that
be lift up their heads and restore
unto the 3rd District its place. And
think on US if it shall be well with
thee. and show kindness unto US, L
nrav thee, and make mention OF US
to this convention and in the Year
Book and bring us up out OF the
land of darkness. for indeed we nave
done what we could, and here also
we have done nothing. that they
should have put us into the dungeon.
Then also in my dream behold
there were three white baskets upon
nv head and the uppermOst basket
was filed with all manner of good
things and the birds did eat from
the baskets upon my head.
This is the Interpretation thereof.
The three white baskets are the three
new federated clubs of the District,
FIT. Gaines, Marshallville and Rebec-
ca, and the fullness of the baskets is
all the clubs of the district with their
splendid program of activities in all
departments of club work and the
building of new club houses in TT.
Gaines, Reynolds and Sycamore.
The birds are the children of the
rural districts that are being fed
mentally from the Libraries of the
club towns by the county library
plan. And when awoke this morn
ing my dream was realized in part

things for the 3rd District.

UNIFORMITY IS NEEDED IN MOTOR
LAWS TO INSURE INCREASED SAFETY

Car registration is proceeding
rapidly and the yearly addition to
the ranks of motorists is still rum
ing into the millions. Our factor
les are going full blast to fill the
demands for individual trasporta-
ton. Considerable progress is be-
ing made in road construction, but
the fact cannot be escaped that car
production and road building have
far outstripped the progress that
the country has made in bringing
simplification and uniformity out
Of the choas Of laws and regula-
tions confronting the car owner on
all sides. Too many laws and all
of them different, too many ordin-
ances, too many conflicting rules
and regulations-this is the bane
of street and highway motor travel
today.
Car owners everywhere are be-
ginning to be acutely aware that
this choatic situation is hampering
the use of the car and creating q
condition of confusion and uncer-
tainty that tends to undermine con-
fidence and, in turn, not only leads
to countless inconvenience but is
also q fruitful cause Of accidents

The Taxation, Too
The variety and conflict in legis.
lation and regulation are equally
apparent in the field If taxation.
It is only necessary to glance at the
gasoline tax in the various states
to see the variety in rate. This tax
has commended itself to many peo-
pie for the reason that it appeared
q fair way Of making the motorist
pay for The use Of the roads. How
ever, the tax is threatened by two
concurrent tendencies. First, the
tendency to pyramid it, adding a
cent at q time; and the second, the
absence Of . uniform principle as
to what the incidence of the tax
should be. 1t is not as regards the

rather than the speed Of : car ct
any given time, the cause for arrest.
It is quite apparent that in travel
ing through hundreds Of speed
zones thousands Of motorists are
constantly being appfehended for
technical breaches Of speed laws.
It should not be very difficult to
reach a national accord on such
simple, though vital, matter as
warning signals, such % the sig
nails Of intention to stop Or turn
and so on. But here again confu-
sion prevails. The majority Of
states prescribe merely that . time.
~ warning be given, but custom
has brought about an infinite va.
riety of hand and arm signals, re.
sulting in confusion and increased
hazard.
Other matters of importance on
which there should be uniformity

example, which vehicle shall have
the right Of way at Intersections

ces; what highways shall be through

SEEK HIDDEN FORTUNE

JOHANNESBURG. Jan. 14.-ND
Great curiosity has been aroused over
supposed hidden treasure. 1t con-
Germs the late queen mother of SwaZ;-
land, who was reputed among the ma
tives to be possessed Of enormous
wealth.
The story goes that from 1894 to
1900 this queen, Nabo Tsibendi, was
paid an annuity Of 100000 always in
gold sovereigns. There was no evil
dence of any expenditure on her part
on the contrary, she always pleaded
poverty; and it is said that she and
her daughter, who preceded her in
death, were the only persons who knew
where her wealth was hidden in M'Ba-
bani. Whether the treasure really ex-
lists and where, are questions now
troubling many seekers.
