Alba Johnson the' and we would sit around and din old president of the Baldwin Lo- i cuss the-problem. We were known presi 6motive Works, were .part of the daily group. These talks by such men on political, religious and business subjects, I have always said' were the best talk's I ever hedrd. ", This er it was largely in the morning" when we were waiting for the New York papers that "we would cotieregate in the "Tent Room' and tallc on various subjects. '1 "We were called originally 'The Little Mothers." There were never 'Uttt ttle Mothers' anywhere but in B(pdge Brothers, Inc.. is an.institu tiqn.lhWt rtay be relief upon abso lutely to fulfill its slightest obli gation to ihe public. 4 ("They have announced that this reduction will be a very substan tial one 'and: that means that it will be very substantial. Natural lyJl have not been informed as to the prices, but I am sure that they will be actually sensational." The advertisement declares that the reductions are made possible by.-the completion of a $10,000,- id- CAurustau Oaw Dec 1925 Special), v it Angusta. The reason why was be cause the women said we went down stairs to take charge of the eountry and by the time we came up we had settled everything. Some clever woman coined the phrase 'Little Mothers.' meaning we discussed the best for the-welfare of the country. I would sit at the head or the table. . Rvery day after goVf we would gather and the women called ut -The Little Mothers.' Some fellow would say: 'Well, what do you think of Germany? and before" long some one would express- an opinion and ten or fifteen would talk about it all over the United States. I had it poked at me in California 'You are the head of 'LUtle Mothers:'' I used to see you in Augusta We bad two piesidents; two candidates for president (Cnx and Davis); Cabot Lodge, Jor.eph Frellnghuysen, "Jimmy Cox: artd we all enjoyed the talks immense ly. For instance, it wa in tluit group that Hitchcock first dis cussed the question of whether ousr armed neutrality was better than war for our own country; 000 expansion program -new buildings and equipment that, will double the capacity of Dodge Brothers factories in 192j. i "There is no change in the policy upon which Dodge Brothers established their leadership 11 years ago the i advertisement concludes, referring to "the policy of constant improvement without yearly models , GbevroletIs on its- woy toward its three-millionth automobile. 222SB33 ' . -;..f :. . : . , ' ' 'if 4' V also 'What do you think of Armed neutrality as the best policy? (to illustrate) before the "happenings or 1017-is. . ' "I was sifting there one morn ing in the little group. I am pres ident of Columbia university; Dar win P. Kingsley, president of the New York Life Insurance com pany; Patrick VI. Crowley, presi dent of the New York Central; A. F. Banks, preside-nt of the El gin, Juliet and Eastern Ry. : W. L. Clause, president of the Pittsburg Plate Glass company; in the little group of men that morning thi.-re were five presidents of five con cerns, the property and trustee ship representing over two billion dollars simply talking about pol ities and affairs. "My opinion is that this little group meeting is the strong point about the Bon Air; it is the at traction for a certain kind of man. When these men come away they begin to see what it means and say 'I only came for a week or two this year but I am making my plans for a longer stay next season. I did not know the Bon Air was like this. I only arranged SOCIETY (Continued from pafe 2.) enjoyable Christmas surprise party when the employes of the store met to honor them.
