Mountain Memorial is a plan whereby the boys and girls of the South may have an important! and distinctive part among the build ers of the world's greatest monument. f I I f .... a- it is composed 01 cnimren up 10 eighteen years of age, who contribute orje dollar to the cost of the work, and is open to all within the age lim it who are jdescended from Confede rate soldiers. . 11 . Each child contributing one dollar receives a beautiful bronze medal de signed by the Sculptor, Augustus Lukeman. On the front of f the medal is a miniature reproduction of the yrand i starway . of the magnificent Memorial Hall, to be quarried out -of the breast of Stone Mountain imme diately underneath the central group of sculpture. On the reverse side of the medal is a miniature reproduction of the figures of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and -Stonewall Jack son, which are now being carved on the mountaoin. ' In the top edge of the medal is a perforated' slot, so that it can be worn as a watch fob or lavalier. In addition to this very interesting token of membership in the Children's Pounders Roll, the name of each child will be recorded in a great IBook of Memory, which will be de posited upon an altar or within a -vault esiecially provided for that pur pose in Memirial Hall. Each name will be recorded upon a separate line, and with it will be recorded the ad dress of the child, and the name of the Confederate soldier in whose memory the child's dollar was cintri buted. The child will receive a cer tificate showing the number of the page and the . number of the line upon which his or her name was re corded. The Book of Memory is beme made to order for the Children's Founders Roll. . The pages will be made of the most enduring parchment paper that science has devised. The 'names will be recorded with indelible .for centuries. The Children's Founders Roll has been endorsed in " the highest terms -by. heads of patriotic, religious, fra- clergymen, editors and historians; by officials of the States and the United States.

No men ever fought, more barvely, or against greater odds, or for a purer cause, than the soldiers of the Confederacy.

Selling Automobiles Most Fascinating Career for Women "plili-ic automobiles is one' -of the most fascinating careers open to wo men. 1 he work is interesting ana invrlvps Ipss rnrtine than most oilier professions. . Success is k '.tendon: only uyr-n the individual's abi'.''; and ct- fort."

Though she is brisk, young arid attractive, she. does not put mucn. pun m ennalitv "It Counts." sHe SaVS. "but knowledge and training count as much or more. ' Women are easier buyejrs than men, Miss Jeffreys has found. "They know what they ' like and w hat they don't like, even if their reasons some times cannot be understood except by a woman. "Men are apt to regard a sales woman with tolerant arhusement at first. When that attitude is broken down she gets the same chance as anyone who knows their job, but m most cases it is easier for a man to sell a man." . ; Miss Jeffreys does not agree with the bid idea that women do not know their own minds. She says : "Members of our sex are accused of being indefinite but the chief t,;nft T fmn shout them is that they are much more definite than men. . She prefers, however, to work with men, for in her opinion "they are more tolerant and just, and are less given to interference than are wo- " like everything else, the business of selling automobiles nas some ais- poohi fatnrps Miss Teffrevs ad mits.

In this- connection, the following news item in the Brev ard News, indicative of some of the work to be performed by a county health officer,, is of interest: Dr. S. E. Buchanan, recently em ployed as county health officer, ar rived in Brevard Tuesday morning to begin fyis work. , U' the first day's activities here are to be taken as any indication of the work to be, done by him, then Dr. Buchanan will be one busy man in the future. A call was awaiting Dr. Buchanan upon his arrival ' to come to Glou cester. It was reported that one man in that , community is suffering from smallpox, and the community wanted to take all precautions against the spread of the hateful disease. Dr. Buchanan vaccinated forty people in the Gloucester community during his first day's work and in addition to that, examined a lady in another part of the county, recommended that she be taken to the state hospital at Morganton called Morganton officials and made arrangements for the wom an's entrance into the state institution. Dr. Buchanan, in talking with The News paid a glowing tribute to the people of Gloucester, and to the natu ral beauty of that section "Never in my life have I seen more wondrous natural beauty than the great . com munity up there," Dr. Buchanan said, "and as to the people, they're simply fine. Nowhere in the state can be found a, finer yt of boys, and girls, i nor those "with greater promises for, the future than the children I saw in the Silversteen school," the doctor continued. . As yet no offices have been se cured for Dr. Buchanan, but the authorities are busy preparing a place for him.' In the meantime any one of the county desiring to see Dr. Buchanan will be assisted in locating him by cadlling at either of the drug; stores or at lhe Brevard News office,! or at any of the county in the court ( house. 0 T7Y) " a hofi of improvements Not only does this most beau tiful of all low-priced can offer new paneled and beaded Fisher bodies but also many new fine car features and mechanical re finements such as: Full'Crown Fenders New full crown one-piece fend en add nota of imartneu to the new and beautiful bodies.
