Atlanta had two big fires Sunday, in which damage to the extent of more than $150.000 was done. One fire destroyed a big clothing store, and the other a garage. The first blaze, believed to been caused by defective wiring and starting in the switchbox which earried all the wiring of the build: ing, just behind the show windows, heavily damaged the J. S. Field & Co.,.Inc., store at 43-45 Whitehall street early Sunday afternoon. The building is of three stories with an- nex, and is owned by the company, which deals in ready-to-wear wom- en's clothing. The fire gutted the first floor completely, wiping out the cum- pany’s Christmas stock of shoes, to which this floor was devoted. Smoke end water virtually ruined the stock én the other two floors, making the loss.almost total. 3 The fire was discovered by one éf the company’s shoe salesmen who was passing by in the street. No- body was in the building. The fire- | men immediatdly cut away the de- fective wires, but the blaze _ made considerable headway. A sec- ond alarm was turned in an hour and a@ half Jater, when sparks were discovered falling from the first floor ceiling. Insurance Cevers Loss. The president of the corporation said the loss was fairly well covered by insurance, but, due to the fact that an immense stock of new Christmas goods had just arrived, he was unable to estimate the loss def- initely, until after conferences with the fire adjustment agents. How- ever, he was certain that the to- tal damage exceeded $100,000. One fireman was slightly burned by a slight explosion in the vicinity of the switches, when he was trying to cut them off. A large crowd col- lected to watch the excitement. . The other fire was in the garage building of the Morrow Transier and Storage company, 122 Magnolia street, a one-story structure, which was burned to the ground, destroy- ing or damaging thirty trucks and cars in the garage at the time, ata loss estimated at $50,000. 9 — Shortly after noon the watchman, | toy Bond, who was in the rear ot | the | front, adjoining Magnolia street.

Every phase of our life is literally bound up with the broad needs of the world. We shall not narrow the niissionary needs to the small things that have heretofore marked them. Pitiful pennies are powerless. “There should be no distinction made between sacred and secular. No one day alone is sacred; all time given to us is a trust. All our days are holy: ail our possessions are as a stewardship and we must admin- ister them with an accurate sense of our responsibility. “We cannot plead poverty as any excuse to fail in our duty in this hour. The following is written not as to present conditions, but by man who is posted on all and financia! affairs and speaks with an authority of infor- mation that we must hear him. This is his solemn judgment with all the facts before him. We must do our duty accordingly: As to “Hard Times.” ‘* *Whether prices are high or low, boun- tiful harvests such as we haveh ad this year greatly augment the wealth of the nation, and when granaries are bulging and _fiour bins are full, it is {mpossible to have “hard times.’’ This may appear like a | paradox to some people who are how unem- ploved, but it is nevertheless true, and such people may secure encouragement from the fact that their unemployment will, without doubt, be of short duration. ‘**4s far as crops are concerned, in five instances farm production broke all pre- vious records, the department of agricul- ture reporting that the corn, tobacco, rice, sweet potato and pear crops surpassed in size those of any other year in thé country’s history, while oats, barley, rye, potatoes, apples and hay approximated their previous record high yields, which all goes to add to our wealth. ‘‘*We are the richest nation on earth and our wealth in comparison with that of the balance of the world is indicated by per- centages, showing that with only 6 per cent of the world’s population and 7 per cent of its land, we produce 20 per cent of the world’s gold, 25 per cent of its wheat, 40 per cent of the silver, steel and iron, 50 per cent of the zinc, 52 per cent of the coal, 60 per cent/ of the alumnimum, copper and cotton; 66 per cent of the of, 75 per cent of the corn, 85 per cent of the automo- biles, while refining 80 per cent of the cop- per and operating 40 per cent of the world’s railroad lines. , ‘‘“*The prosperity of the United States hinges on three essentiaix, raw materials, labor and capital, and, ire: ™rech as we have all three in abundance, with everything else in our favor, in addition to a latent demand, both here and abroad, fer all the products we produce, there is nothing that can keep prosperity away from us. ‘“‘S9 this is no time for us to feel gloomy, and “we should all look to the fu- ture with the utmost confidence.’ “So Jesus addressed not merely the Galilee fisherman in the great commission, but, looking down through the ages, saw you and me with such large possessions and op- portunities in our hands and said: ‘Go ye, therefore, and teach all na- tions.’” — - | | _last to be taken in Switzerland. The members of Constantine‘s ‘household still are bewildered by | the unexpected refusal of the Greek ;}government to allow Professor 'Georgios Streit and M. Papparago- |poulo, advisers of Constantine, to | return Today they ex- pressed as to how the situation would end, and whether {followers of Constantine | Greece would be exiled. | It is predicted freely among the | Greeks here that M. Gounaris and other Greek statesmen of the for- | mer Constantine regime may find it 'advisable to leave Greece voluntari- ‘ly in the interest of amicable rela- | tions between Greece and the al- lied nations immediately Constan- tine reaches Athens. Reforms to Be Urged. Constantine and Queen Sophie, | acording to members of their house- hold, are expected to take aleading part in urging reforms in Greece. It is said that an endeavor will be made by them to be. more demo- _eratic than they were when they | were sent itno exile. Constantine, ‘it is said, probably will urge legis- | lation for improved labor condi- tions, agricultural reforms and a betterment of the situation of the poor, while Queen Sophie hopes to head a movement for Woman suf- frage. Constantine has asked the Greek government to send missions to the United States, Great Britain and France to place the Greek situation in the right light b€fore the world. It is not unlikely, according to Greek newspaper men here, that the Press will urge the government to attempt to float a loan in the United States, and that to this end one of the leading Greek financiers will be sent to America to sound out the bankers there.

A gift of $3 per week, or $144 for 1920, is an investment the dividends on which will be a real citizen for Atlanta and a happy family. Christmas opportunities, in the form of the ten neediest families in Atlanta, chosen by the Associated Charities and for which a perma- nent Christmas the year round is desired, follow: Xmas Opportunities. Opportunity No. 1. Four little children, all under 9, and an invalid sister require all of this mother’s time. The father died of tuberculosis two years ago, leav- ing a fear of the disease and a fi- nancial burden on the mother’s shoulders. She now has no income, and were it not for the help of a friend whom the Associated Chari- ties has found for her she would have no shelter. She is struggling along trying to keep the two oidest children in school. Fifteen dollars a week during the coming year will relieve her mind from financial strain and enable her to care for her sister and little chil- dren. Total needed, $720. Opportunity No. 2. It’s not such a bad world, thinks freckle-faced Jimmie, aged 12. A fairy godfather will surely help him out, for he wants to go to school. As things are now there are mother and baby sister who need so many things and he feels he must work to help buy the nec- essities. A pension of $3 a week will help give Jim the education he wants. Needed, $144. Opportunity No. 3. A dear old lady and her aged brother live in a tumbledown house which is home to them. The sister, who is 75 years old, sews’ quilts, | which find a ready sale, but with ali her sewing she cannot earn enough to make her feeble brother com- fortable. A gift of $5 a week will give them the food and many little things they need and will relieve | the sister from financial anxiety. | Total, $240. Opportunity No, 4. It isn’t easy to come home after day in the factory, go to her mother’s for the five children, cook the children’s supper and wash their clothing for school next day besides working to make the small home immaculately clean. Mrs. M. has been doing this without com- ‘Plaint, for she is ambitious for her youngsters, but the strain is telling on her. Recently friends of the As- sociated Charities have agreed to supplement her meager wage witn $1.25 a week. Another $5 a week will help feed and clothe the five little ones. To- tal, $240. Opportunity No. 5. “Six months before she can work | again,” says the doctor who ' treating her. Six months is a long time when a ; Woman is dependent on her own ; earnings. All of her teeth abscessed, swollen ankles and almost stone deaf—but she Js cheerful and is responding to medical treatment. To Speed her recovery a diet of milk and eggs will be necessary and the visits of the renting agent must be met. Four dollars and_ seventy-five cents a week will make her com- fortable and enable her to regain her lost strength. Total, $230. Opportunity No. 6. A mother who is mentally unbal- anced—unreasonable and overbear- ing—is for this reason unable to make a home for her 12-year-old kiddie. On the other hand, kiddie is bright and wants a chance to go to school. Three dollars and _ seventy-five cents a week will enable Associated Charities to place her in a good school where she can start her edu- cation while the mother is receiving medical treatment. Needed, $180. Opportunity No. 7. Thirteen-year-old' Jessie’s father works his hardest every day. Buta wife who has had pellagra for two years, and four little girls, all of them under-nourished, need more than his maximum earnings. Jessie comes home from school and cleans the house. She was do- ing all the family Washing in addi- tion until our visitor found some- one to do it for her. The doctors now advise a nourishing diet for mother and all four children in or- der to prevent tuberculosis. Three dollars and _ seventy-five cents @ week extra will make this possible. Total for the year, $180. Opportunity No. 8. Three husky boys, 12-10-8, an invalid father and aged grandmoth- er weep this mother’s fingers work- ing busily every day. If only she can keep things going a few years She says, her boys will have.their education and that’s the brightest | hope in her life. In the meantime the little moth- 1 er’s brave struggle is too much for her strength. The house rent falls |; due so regularly and food and cloth- ing are almost beyond her reach.

Opportunity No. 9. To be hopelessly ill in the hos- pital and unable to care for his fam- ily of seven, seems hard to a man who has always made a splendid work record. He cannot even see the little crippled girl who has just learne dto walk. The oldest boy, not yet 15, has gone to work and continues his studies at night, but*«his wages, to- gether with the help of relatives, who are in straitened circumstances themselves, is insuffiicent. An ad- ditional $7 weekly will be needed to take care of the family. Total $3536. Opportunity No. 10. Being the oldest of five has ad- vantages and disadvantages. Upon John, 19, and Lucy, 16, falls the entire support of the family. The frail mother remains at home wetting the younger children off to school and always has the simple supper ready for John and Lucy when they get home from work. Even with the combined wages of these two, however, there is not enough to cover all the expenses, and these two young people are get- ting discouraged. Five dollars a week as a Christ- mas present will supplement their earnings and make them very hap- py. Who'll help? Total for the year $240. Total required for all opportuni- ties $2,800. Contributors will please make all xifts direct to the Associated Chari- ties. CONCERT DANCERS HERE FOR UNIQUE PROGRAM Continued From First Page. Oh, Dance, greeting song, “Dance, Maidens Gay.” Throughout the program the girls do not dance to music, but rather dance the music itself. The danc- ing is part of the music and the mu- sic is part of the dancing. That is what makes this American school of dancing unique. There is noth- ing else like it in the world. Phere are foyr numbers on the long program which stands out so bewilder the ence. The first comes in Part lL, of the program. It is a powerfil grotesque from the land of which the outer limits confront the realm where the old Norse gods still dwell. It is an amazing spectacle. The second is based on Beet- hoven's Sonata Pathetique Op. 13. It is the most pretentious number on the program, nine of the girls taking part. The sonata opens with a tremendous, passionate utterance charged with dramatic intensity. Then follows a restive, virile sec- tion, its turbulent mood contrasted by a pleading theme. The feeling becomes more and more deep, and rises in the end to real rapture. In Part III is a Debussy Ara- besque in G, in which three girls participate, which Miss Niles con- siderg absolutely flawless and fault- less. It s her favorite number, al- though she doesn’t take part per- sonally it it. Spectacular Numbers, Perhaps the most’ spectacular numbers also is to be found in third part. It is entitled “Soaring” and a delicate picture breathing the quiet, dreamy mood of a moonlit night; a powerful treatment in music of the idea of human ambition, mounting with irrisstble strength toward the summits of fame and achievement. The bold opening theme is the enunciation of pride, courage and aspiration. Then follow’ sugges- tions of difficulties. temptations and dangers. But all end happily. Miss Niles’ solo part is a beauti- ful dance, “J’ai pleure’ en reve” (I wept, beloved, as I dreamed.) The company of dancers arrived ley. The concert is the number of the Civie Concert Series of the Atlanta Music Study club. The program will begin at 8:30 be closed to late arrivals umtil after gram. There will be but one formance in Atlanta.

She was al- most shocked that he should take so lightly the truth that she had worked so hard to hide.

Bod was not going to tet “Tfarvaret suffer any more. “We've kept you up very late,” he went on. “You're tired, and so is Daisy. Good night, old man. Good night, my dear.” And he took Margaret’s hand and led her out to the veranda, across the lawn and away. It was quickly done and bravely done, all dramatics scrupul- ously avoided. And when they were out of sight Daisy crept up to Julian and stood in front of him. “What does this mean?” she asked. “Friend that sticketh closer than a brother,” he said—‘“I’m let off, Daisy. You’ve got me back.

Somehow Julian was One of the men who was always let off. t under his tears, which she had never felt before, she thought that she saw his passage out of vanity and shallowness into huble- ness and sincerity.

With the date of the next cere- monial session of Yaarab temple set for Tuesday, January 25, the no- bility of Yaarab temple will be brought together in several meet- ings of a varied nature before that date. The first of these will be the annual business meeting to be held in Masonic temple Wednesday, De- cember 15, at which time annual re- ports will be read and officers elected for the coming year. Progress in the formation of, the “widow’s fund” insurance plan will also be reported, and the present rrospects are that the charter mem- bership of 600 will soon be com- pleted, certificates will be issued, and the officers of the fund will be ready to pay death benefits under the rules adopted at the last busi- ness session. tecorder Argard desires that no- bles in remitting their Shrine dues and the assessment for the Crippled Children’s hospital and applications for membership in the “widow's fund” make their remittances’ in separate checks. The dues for 1921 plus the assessment calls for a check of $7 and should be made payable to George E. Argard, re- corder. Checks accompanying ap- plications to the “widow's fund should be for $6.20 and made pay- able to George E. Argard, secre- tary-treasurer. The money of the “widow's fund” is’ kept entirely separate from the regular’ Shrine funds. The second affair that is engross- ing the attention of the nobility and which interests the wives and sweethearts of the Shriners is the big Christmas ball that will be held Wednestlay evening, December 22, at Druid Hills club.

This served likewise to offset increases in postal receipts, Mr. Burieson de- clareg. Postia Progress Claimed. of the postal service, the postmaster general says: “The present postal administra- tion has been one of continuous and permanent progress and im- provement. Nothing has been left undone that was within the author- ity of the postmaster general to do to effect readjustments in the interests of the peopie as a whole and not in tnat of any special class. “The air mail service, which has been operated successfully since its inauguration, May 15, 1918, has heen extended across the continent and collaterally and further exten- sion by contract service inaugu- rated. “The parcel post service, both do- mestic and international, has been greatly extended and facilities for handling parcels improved, 260 for- eign countries and colonies now be- ing reached by this service. “City delivery service has been ‘extended, the established service in all the larger cities materially im- proved, and the government owned motor vehicle service inaugurated in 1914, has established in cities. “The railway mail operated with increased ef- under the space system, for the hauling o mail been service has ficiency facilities tablished upon a scientific basis. “War conditions have been over- in the foreign mail service, which has been brought back to normal and is rapidly improving. “The money order service and the | postal savings system have rapidly recovered from war conditions and (‘are in most satisfactory operation. service was ex- fiscal year to additional per- rural mail the 600.000 “The than ice svstematized and improved. “There has been still further im- provement in the registry and in- sured parcel post system, and the methods of handling dead letters. “A Jarge number of important Im- provements have been made in the mail equipment shop, facilitating the work, adding to the compen- sation and the comforts of the em- ployees, and at the same time low- by efficient methods, the cost of production. of employees in all erades have been increased and working conditions and convenl- ences improved wherever possible.” Organizatigns Opposed, Attention again directed by the postmaster general to the growth of organizations among the postal employees and he urges that steps be taken to “curb the malicious and pernicious influence” of these or- ganizations upon the postal per- sonnel.

BOUNCIL PROBERS BUSY AGAIN TODAY Every Atlanta Man or Woman, With Complaint ; to Make Against City Officials, Urged to Testify. ? After a recess from last Friday; the special probe com-! will resume its investigation into the police and detective departments this morning at 10 o’clock. Indications point to a hearing that will continue for several days. Since the probe started Thursday the committee has heard mainly from witnesses whose evi- 'dence was more or less derogatory lto different police and detective of- Lieutenant T. D. Shaw, of the detective force, and Detective O. M. Howell, against Whom some of the principal charges were di- rected, were permitted to take the stand and offer testimony in re- buttal. It is the intention of the committee to continue -this ‘morning with testimony from those who have charges to prefer. The de- fense will have its inning later, | perhaps before the clase of the day. ture was imparted to the probers Friday afternoon by R. M. Striplin, secretary of the Southeastern Fair association, and W. C. Puckett, for- mer manager of concessions, who were subpoenaed to testify. Their testimony was to the effect that concessionaires at Lakewood dur- ing the fair of 1919 had raised a fund for the alleged purpose of buying’ police protection for the operation of games of chance. In this connection, Mr. Striplin gave the name of Paul Baker, op- erator of a wheel of fortune, and said he was told that Baker, who had refused to “kick in” on the fund, found his place “stalked” by Detective Shaw, who abandoned his vigil when Baker slipped $50 into his possession. Baker’s home is in Louisvile, Ky., and the committee wired him Saturday to come to At- lanta and appear. before’ the probers as a witness. The com- mittee is expected to call other wit- nesses in this phaS8e of the hearing, while the side of the defense will be supported by a number of per- sons subpoenaed to testify.(¢ O. M. Howell, a_i detective, charged Friday by Clarence Hart with conspiring to steal several cases of whisky from him, an- nounced that he would subpoenae a numbsr #@f witnesses to appera in his behalf. GIANT-SIZED NAVY IF U. S. BANS LEAGUE Continued From First Page. aa appropriations for new construc- tion during the next fiscal year are included in the secretary’s report, but his estimate of the cost of maintaining the naval establish- ment for the coming year is $679,- 515,731 exclusive of any sums con- gress may add for new building. This is $240,000,000 more than was appropriated for the present fiscal year, but Mr. Daniels says the sum “is not really an increase,” but is ‘‘necessary to carry on the construc- tion of ships already authorized and the completion of shore estab- lishments already begun by direc- tion of congress.” The most pressing problem con- fronting the nation with regard to the national defense, thenaval sec- retary continues, is the immediate necessity for increasing the nayar shore establishment facilities on the Pacific coast. “The day will never come,” Mr. Daniels says, “when a powerful fleet will not be based in the Pacific and it is essential that ample pro- vision be made not only for the Pacific fleet, but for thé whole American fleet in its stated periods of tactical exercises on the west coast.” Among the new Pacific coast pro- jects now under consideration for which congress has been asked to provide funds are a deepwater docking and repair base, a submar- ine base and other developments at San Francisco; an aviation base at Sand Point, King county, Wash- ington; a submarine, destroyer and aviation base at Port Angeles, Washington; a submarine base at Los Angeles; a submarine base and destroyer base at Astoria, Oregon; and a very extensive development of harbor and repair facilties at Hawaii. In all, the report declared, projects that ultimately will reach a cost of about $160,000,000 are ur- gently needed for the Pacific coast proper. Characterizing Hawaii the as “crossroads and key to the Pacific” | Daniels recommends the crea-., Mr. tion there of a fleet-operating base capable iliaries. Facilities for a fleet of a thousand vessels could be developed at Hawali, the report asserts, add- ing that “the stragetic location of Hawaii is realized, its possibilities have been carefully studied and set forth by naval experts and its de- velopment on a broad scale as a fleet base cannot be too strongly recommended.” Battleship Backbone of Fleet. Despite “sporadic criticism” in this country and abroad of the com- pletion of capital ships authorized before the war, the battleship re- mains the “backbone” of the fleet, Secretary Daniels declares. The war | proved that the time has not come for the abandonment of capital ships, he says, and in support of his declaration he points out that recent British building programs have included funds for dread- naughts and Dattle cruisers and that Japan “has layed down five capital ships since the armistice and it is understood that eight oth- ers are projected for the near fu- ture.” A strong plea that all marine ac- tivities of the government be con- solidated in the navy in the inter- ests of economy and efficiency is made by the naval secretary. He declares that “America should have but one navy” and that at present there are various “little navies” un- der various government depart- ments whose activities could be far more advantageously directed under a single control. The navy department now op- erates a total of 979 vessels, Mr. Daniels points out, while the war department maintains a fleet of 730 craft, exclusive of 1,245 other ves- sels of various types used in har- 'ly justified night. Information of a sensational ae eht of accommodating the en- | tire American navy with all aux- | bor work: the treasury, 101 ships; the department of commerce, 147; the shipping board, 1,510, and mis- cellaneous divisions more than 200 others. Amalgamation with the navy of the coast guard and the light-house and life-saving services is partic- ularly urged by Mr. Daniels, and he also says “it would be to the ad- vantage of the army as well as the navy if all United Siates transports were manned by the navy in time of peace as well as war.” “In other words,” says Mr. Dan- iels, “there should be but one ma- rine department of the government and its craft afloat should be oper- ated by the navy department. This cannot be considered a radical de- parture or experiment, as its worth and practicability were thoroughly demonstrated under the severe test of war.” In reviewing the oferations of the fleets during the year Mr. Daniels | asserts that “no policy adopted in recent years has a sounder military } has been more complete- than that of maintain- ing two great fleets, one in each of the great oceans we are called upon to defend, with provision for their operation as one single fleet.” Gratifying progress was made in target practice, in the training of new recruits and maneuvering dur- ing the year, the report adds. basis or INCENDIARY FIRES TURN | fore the CORK INTO AN INFERNO Continued From First Page. oe populace that the military would re- main on duty indefinitely to prevent further destruction.

At 6:30 o'clock this eve- ning a special train left Dublin for Cork carrying Captain Myers, chief of the Dublin brigade, and a motor engine with crew. A deputation of citizens of Cork Says a dispatch received here in- cluding the Protestant bishop. and the town clerk, waited on the of- ficer commanding the Cork troops and requested him to take meas- ures to prevent a recurrence of the appalling damage to property. He promised to send out spectal mili- tary patrols. The destroyed city hall in Cork was only excelled in point of size in Ireland by Belfast’s great civil! building. This was the third time it had been set on fire. the fire- men being driven out at the point of revolvers. On two previous oc- casions, the west wing, devoted to the public health department, was burned, but no mistake was made this time, the hall being set alight in many places. The great hall. seating 3,000 and@ having a fine or- gan, shared the fate of the municip- al buildings.

Mr. Hoover frequently has been mentioned for possible membership in the cabinet, but he said today’s discussion of appointments was cas- ual and not conclusive. Tomorrow Mr. Harding will see Elihu Root, a former secretary of state, and recently an advisor in the formation of a world court under the Versailles league eovenant. Their conference, generally account- ed one of the most important of the long series to be held here, is ex- pected primarily to concern the league and related subjects. Hoover on Peace Concert. In giving his advice on an inter- national peace concert, Mr. Hoover is understood to have urged strong- ly that portions of the Versailles covenant be used in whatever world association the incoming ad- ministration may attempt to build. He said material changes must be made in the treaty, but took the po- sition that the framework embodied in it should be utilized as far as possible. The former food administrator was an adviser to the American peace delegation at Versailles, and was understood to have furnished Mr. Harding with much first-hand information about the attitude of European statesmen. Many of the president-elect’s questions’ related to economic conditions abroad with which Mr. Hoover is familiar through his recent relief work. Among other things Mr. Hoovei declared the amount of indemnity to be paid by Germany, left indefinite by the peace treaty, should be fixed at an early date so that German in- dustry could gauge its activities to Former Husband Of Mrs. Elmer May Enter Case Hopson Arrives at Perry From Ohio to Assist His Son—Garrett Ready for Hearing Tuesday. Macon, Ga., December cial.)—B. B. Hopson, former hus- band of Mrs. F. E. Elmer, and fa- ther of Ernest Hopson, may figure in the Shepard murder case in con- nection with which his former wife and son are now being held along with Mrs. Annie Cutts and Mrs. foma Henry. The elder Hopson has arrived at Perry from Akron, Ohia, to pe of whatever assistance he can to his son. His delay in arrival :S said to have been due to the ne- cessity of arranging his persona) affairs in the Ohio city. Everything appears in readiness for the hearing on Tuesday morn- ing before Judge Mathews in the superior court in this city, when the four defendants will seek their re- leasé on bail. Affidavits have been assembled and the case was in such state today, Solicitor Garrett said, that he had had his first rea: day of rest since the case first developed. At the hearing efforts will made by the defense to force the state to present its entire case, in- cluding oral testimony from all the accused. The solicitor, however, believes that this is not necessary, and lawyers familiar with the case point to the fact that in more than one case Judge John P. Ross, now attorney for Mrs. Ioma Henry and Ernest Hopson, did not present the main facts in similar circumstances 12.—(Spe- be fix the tax of payment. Advising in regard to American economic re- lation with Europe, he told Mr. Harding that one of the surest ways to prevent the undermining of American industry was to encour- age investment of American capital in enterprises abroad. Farm Relief Discussed. The financial situation at home also was discussed at length, Mr. Hoover inaking several suggestions for the stabilization of the Ameri- can markets. On the question of farm relief he advocated a genetal policy of extending credits to pur- chasers rather than to producers, on the theory that such a plan in the end would permit farm prices to find their proper level. Mr. Harding took a keen interest in his caller’s. description of the re- lef work now in progress under his supervision, and during the confer- ence arrangements were made for Mr. Harding to become personal sponsor for 250 of the children in Europe who are to be aided by Ameriean contributions until next harvest time. The contribution for that number at $10 each was made by Mr. Harding some time ago. Mr. Hoover and the president- elect were in conference about two. hours at the Harding home, and then they went together to White Oaks farm, where they were enter- tained at luncheon by Dr. C. E. Sawyer, Mr. Harding’s physician. Early in the afternoon Mr. Hoo- ver left by automobile for Colum- bus to board his train for the east. MACON GIRL TO MARRY N. Y.

Agrees to Turn Over Every Cent He Makes To His Divorced Wife URGES SENTENCES INSTEAD OF FINES Punishing “Tigers.” Commends Crusade by Solicitor Boykin. AN Speaking Sunday night at the Baptist Tabernacle on vice condi- tions in the city, Rev. John W. Ham commended Solicitor General John A. Boykin for his recent activity in breaking up an alleged wire-tap- ring and gambling syndicate, urged chaingang sentences for convicted blind tigers, and charged “the street corner cadet” with contributing to the downfall of girls in Atlanta. He also took a rap at the dance halls. “The public owes Solicitor Boykin and his associates gratitude for be- coming arresting officers and breaking up these dens of vice that are destroying young men,” he said. “It is not often that a prosecuting officer will take the initiative and do a piece of work such as has been done in the breaking up of these places. It is certainly true that somebody has been negligent of his out these duty, failing to discover and ferret institutions.” Mr. Ham asserted that it was be- vyond his comprehension that a “wire-tapping syndicate,’ with no less than three places connected in a “epigantic swindle,’ could operate indefinitely without being discov- ered by thé police and detectives. “T am certain that if I had been on the job, he said, “I would have gotten the number of the bunch of crooks who worked the slick game. I would have been a better student of humanity than some of the men in the city who draw a Saiary to de- tect crime.” In his criticism of the system of imposing fines in liquor cases, he declared that the average blind ti- ger regards being caught as mere- ly a tax on his business and passes the fine on to the consumer. — “a think w hard road sentence would be more remedial in character than paying a fine of $25 or $56. The ot- ficers themselves are disgusted with the courts,” he stated. “Time and again they tell me they jeopardize their lives holding up these crooks at night, often at the point of a gun, and then only have a light sen- tence passed. It is difficult to get n officer to arrest these offenders when there is not going to be any punishment.” “We have another type of sin in Atlanta,’ he continued, “and that is the sin of the street corner cadet, who is watching out with an auto- mobile close by to inveigle girls into the machine for a ride. Many a girl has taken that ride, going out as pure as an angel in Heaven, and coming back scarred by sin. There are agents in this town who furnish the cars for the traffic.” With reference to the public dance halls, Mr. Ham charged that they have contributed more to the _ di- vorce courts and delinquency of OF THOMAS COUNTY | | sirls than any other places in the city. | SHOULDER IS BROKEN BY PLANE PROPELLER Savannah, Ga., December 12.— (Special.)—Lieutenant Arthur Cap- perton, stationed at Parris Island marine statidn, was injured late yes- terday at the Daffin field landing field here, when he was struck on the shoulder by the propeller of his airplane.
