Citizenship Crusade

In an effort to stimulate greater in
terest in the city elections in Atlanta
on September %, the Georgia League
of Women Voters has offered prize
of 5000 and loving cup to the ward
that has the largest representation of
its voting strength at the polls. Prac-
tically all the civic organizations have
pledged their moral and their physi-
cal aid in bringing voters to the polls.
The proportion of those exercising
their franchise in the past is about
that of the nation in general which
is around or below so per cent each
year even as low as 81 per cent. The
prize money will be spent on some
civic improvement in that ward where
it is won.

Mems Clothing

In all discussion OF dress reform
for women the writer has always en-
tertained some mental reservations
about the more urgent need for dras-
tic changes in mems garb than in wo-
mems on the score of health. A
health expert of England has been
citing the success of the two recent
women swimmers of the English
Channel as a demonstration of the
health promoting trend afforded wo-
men by their present mode of dress.
He then berates the absurdities of
the throttling collars, the evening
breastplate style of shirt, the heavy
air-proof wooden clothing of men,
and the writer would add the sense
less custom of men wearing woolen
coats throughout the hot season
while women may go collarless and
bare-armed for greater comfort. Men
seem to succumb more frequently to
pneumonia and one wonders if the
powers OF resistance TO exposure are
not greatly weakened by the con-
tinual moist condition OF the body
surface through too much covering.
All the time there is a growing urge
TO tighten children's clothing to make
them strong but no one has yet taken
up for the poor wooden swathed men.
Il Is said that Paris sets the style for
Eomen's clothes and England sets the
style for men. Being a cooler and
more equable climate England af-
ford scomfort in wooden and three
piece suits the year round. In Amer
lea this is not true and the day
should soon come when the men of
this country should throw off the En-
glish yoke in fashion as we once did
in taxes and consider comfort and
hygiene paramount in dress.

ALL ~ AGAINST HOLDER

Waycross Herald Those who oppose Jonn
N. Holder for governor seek to make mucn OF
the fact that the field was united against MIN
and will remain so.
George H. Carswell announces that his cam
paign manager will aid the Hardeman cam
paign manager. Further, he requests all who
supported him to support Hardeman.
Holder enters the second primary with the
lead in popular vote. 1t is slight lead, as is
the lead of Hardeman in county unit votes
slight lead.
Holder. as chairman of the State Highway
Department unquestionably has devoted him.
self to betterng the highways of the state Had
he not done so he would not have had the sup
port of colleagues like Stanley S. Bennett and
John R. Phillips.
AS governor he will serve the best interests
of the state of Georgia and serve those inter-
ests with the same integrity that won for him
a majority vote in his home county.
The cry of "Al against Holder is raised
with a purpose and that purpose is to keep
the people from seeing that the "Alp' must be
qualified.
The popular vote and the county unit vote
evidence that John N. Holders record has won
for him the support of many Georgians.

Collar Strike

The movement to Danish collars has
taken definite form by a new league
of men in Paris who have as adher-
ents not only the Bohemian element

nent novelists and playwrights and

equal courage to that of women in
discarding the steel corset but htat
it is as important in the promotion OF
health. This league also taboos the
evening dress of men declaring it is
humiliating to wear in contrast to the
freedom and comfort enjoyed by wo-
men in evening dress. A loose light

and the slogan is Don't wear col

world war veterans entitled to the
insurance bonus who have made no
application for it as yet. True they
have until January, 1928, to file the
application, but it is not usual thing
for anyone to put off till tomorrow

ance certificate calls for $1,000 so it
is seen the government holds the

EDDE'I'TES
ON
4 THINGS
Key West Causeway
- b. M

Unexpected progress has been
made in the construction Of the dar-
ing overseas automobile road which
will bridge the Florida keys and pass
over broad stretches of ocean some-
times reaching thirty feet in depth,
between Key West and the Florida
mainland, distance of 1872 miles.
When completed there will be no au-
tomobile road in the whole VIDE
world like it, for it will connect the
keys across azure stretches of ocean
where the nearest human habitation
will be lighthouse and the nearest
human activity hot dog stands and
filling stations on the keys where once
pirates lured ships by false beacons
on the beach at night. Caterpillar
tractors have already heaped up the
road bed which has already been
rolled down and surfaced with fine
mari rock. Over so miles of the
route crossing the keys or islands
have already been completed.
Dredges pick up immense dripping
plastic masses of semi-fuid mari from
beneath the waters. On exposure to
the air this mari, go per cent carbo-
natenate of lime, solidifies and hard
ems, and when rolled with a road
roller and dressed with crude oil will
make the finest road in the world.
The new road will be the last link of
the Atlantic coast highway from
Maine to Key West. By next spring
it is expected that cars will be able
to drive from Maine to Key West.
Not since Henry Flagler built his
$50,0O0,O00 viaduct railway to the
island shortly before his death 13
years ago has anything inspired such
visions among the peorle.

public is not going to continue forever its toll

Of resistance tends to dull the enthusiasm OF

would better take it for granted that the wis

REVELATION IS One OF
GREATEST PICTURES
Big Metro Production Sets a New
Standard With Superb Cast
and Story.

"The most satisfyiq picture of the
year." describes Metfd's special pro-
duction, "Rexesssion," which comes
to the Grand Theatre Monday and
Tuesday. Story, cast and direction,
are all three of extraordinary worth,
so that the spectator comes away
from the theatre feeling that he has
seen something head and shoulders
above the ordinary feature.
Motion picture fans have been say
ing all along that the crying need is
better stories. They are answered in
Revelation" for the story, which
was written by Mabel Wagnalls, is a
classic of the screen, and is destined
to stand out as one of the miiestones
in film history.
/ With such story to work on. the
chance was there to make a great
picture, and George D. Baker. the
director, never let an opportunity slip
by. His good taste and tenderness
! in handling the subject is always
manifest.
| Has Wonderful Cast
! The picture is superbly acted by
a real all-star cast that includes such
favorites as Viola Dana, Monte Blue,
Lew Cody, Marjorie Daw, Frank
Currier, Edward Connolly, George
Siegmann, Kathleen Key, Otto Mat
iesen, Bruce Guerm and Ethel Wates.
The actors all seemed inspired, Viola
Dana and Monte Blue, who carry the
chief acting burden, doing by far the
best work they have ever contributed
to the screen.
! The picture centers on beautiful
legend of an old French monastery.
A monk planted a rosebush, and
when it did not bloom, he thought
it was because of his sins. When he
was praying one day the Virgin ap-
peared to him, the bush blossoming
forth afterward as a sign of forgive
ness.
The story proper concerns young
girl, Joline Hofer, who thrown from
her home, takes her fatherless baby
to convent and goes to Paris to en-
joy life as she can. She falls in love
with a poor American artist, Paul
/ Granville, and brings success to him
by posing in a series of history's no
! torious women.
A Modern Miracle
! Then Granville decides to paint the
legend of the monastery rosebush,
with Joline posing as the Madonna.
When they start work in the monas-
terry garden, the rosebush is no long
er in bloom, and one of the monks,
Brother Augustin, believes that its
barrenness is due to the fact that he,
like the monk in olden times, has
sinned. He sees Joline in the garden
and thinks she is the Madonna ap-
pearing to forgive him. Then-the
rosebush blooms!
News of the miracle spreads, but
Joline, knowing the Madonna had not
appeared, confesses to the Prior. He
explains that the rosebush bloom is
proof of real miracle-that the
Holy Mother had revealed herself
through Joline's eyes. This revela-
ton leads Joline back to life OF
penance with her little boy. until
Granville comes to marry her.
