Democrats interposed parliament- ary obstacles to the bill’s progress, The senate adjourned immediately aft- erwards until Thursday. Senator -Haezrison, democrat, of ‘Mississippi, said the republicans in the recent campaign had alleged the people had been “robbed” of $1,400,- 000,000 through 26-cent sugar for which they blamed President Wilson and the democratic party. “You are not proposing to hold the consuming masses up by this iP bill for $1,400,000,000 alone, but it goes into a figure I cannot enu- ‘merate,” declared the senator, who added: - : af Believe Principle Wrong. . “T wouldn’t vote for your propo- sition if 99 per cent of the people ot Mississippi asked me to because I believe it wrong in principle.” Senator Smoot, republican, Utah, said the emergency tariff was to af- fect only those industries in “immi- nent danger” and he added that the only chance to get the bill through ‘the senate was to/enact it as it passed the house. Calling on the senate to defeat the measure in the interest of the ‘ggasses, Senator Harrison declared had “no respect” for a “peanut protectionjst.” Announces Filibuster. Senator Harrison denounced re- * publican senators.for attempting to hasten passage of what he declared was the “most iniquitous piece of Af ‘legislation the cotintry has ever 4 | , a . : ' seon.” He' denied that he intended to filibuster athst the measure, but said ‘he tend to delay it until the new so that the sen- ators who had gone home oyer the holidays might have an opportunity to participate in the senate’s action “Those who went home,” the sen- ator said, “didn’t realize that that ‘side of the chamber was drunk with political success. This piece of handiwork handed to us by the other end of the oe ae t is loaded like a bombshell. ‘It is the duty of this body to stamp it out before it explodes. Never was there such a plece of iniquitus legislation. “I don’t understand how you can stomach it—you’ high protection- ists,” he shouted, ,winting to the republicans. He asked “if any states- man could blame Canada if she re- taliated on us for placing this duty on her wheat?” “What say you, senators of New England, whose factories have grown rich manufacturing mate- rials for Canadian export?’ he de- manded. Calis Bill “a Sop.” Declaring the bill was “a sop” that would not assist the farmers, ™he said the “high protectionists” of the east would reap the benefits and the farmers would be “left in the cold,” ~ Senator Harrison finally with- drew his motion to refer the bill to the interstate commerce committee, explaining that it was only by mak- ing such a move that he could ob- tain time to express his views. Sen- ator McCumber then moved to refer the measure to the finance commit- tee and the motion was adopted unanimously. Characterizing the measure as an embargo bill and a “shocking prop- osition” to restrict American com- ' merce, Senator Hitchcock, af Ne- braska, acting demoeratic leader, proposed that the bill, instead of } Tanguay’s famous olg son, “I Don’t 1 | | rumor mongers have been shocked by Vanderbilt hotel, smiles and chuckles .the correct,one, and that the raven ~~ time’s greatest y PERSHING TO SERVE Irnpeadlerd ‘Laughter Is Caruso’s Answer To Knell of Fate |Greatest Tenor Lies Dan- gerously Ill, With His Golden Notes of Melody, Slipping Fast Into Realm a& “Nevermore.” oe | BY WILLIAM SLAVENS M’NUTT. United News Staff Correxpeondent. New York, December 27.—We would like to hear Caruso sing Eva Caré.” The great tenor is temper- amentally fitted to render it well. Bloody and battered by a mallet of accident in the rude hands of an unkind fate until he has at last been forced into a sick five doctors in attendance upon him, bed with | the greatest of them all still smiles | and jokes and with thumb at nose wiggles impudent figures at old man hard luck perched.on the foot- board of his bed. | Caruso has ever had thé spirit of song in his heart as well as the capacity for song in his golden throat. Always he has jested at his own greatness and nonchalantly trifled with the physical mechanism that has made him the idol of a world and the wealthiest singer of all times. Always, with his voice, he has been as a careless boy play- ing marbles in the street with price- less pearls. Always Met Test. When his managers have worried and fumed Caruso has gone ever upon his gay and careless way, tak- ing chances with himeelf and his great gift as carelessly a8 a cal- loused veteran braving fire, and al- ways, when the test came, he has faced his audiences and thrilled them to an ecstacy of acclaim by the vibrant power of his vocal ge- nius. Time out of mind the rumor has gone out on Broadway and among the musical studios of the town that the master’s voice was failing him dt last, but always the the pristine perfection of the great tenor’s performance, ‘ Always he has’gone his way, g8y, debonnair and careless, smiling and ‘impossible to compute chuckling at reports of a growing flaw in the perfection of his mar- , velous voice.

Some are saying that Caruso is getting old: that the strain of sing- ing is breaking him down; that the end of his reign is near Caruso, in his bed at his apartments at the a and joxes and makes cartoons cf himself in his present distress. It is a joke with him as all life has been a joke It is something at which to chuckle and laugh Even the eager gossips who arc spreading the rumor that he is breaking under the strain, hope, in their innermost hearts, that the Caruso viewpoint ‘s of prophecy sitting above his door croaking “nevermore” to the v vice that has moved a world, is, as “a- ruso bélieves, a silly old foo! of a bird without sense, rather than a true knell of the melodic life of one AS GRAND MARSHAL INAUGURAL PARADE Washington, December 27.—Gen- eral Pershing, in a telegram from Roslyn, N.

Washington, December 27.—Pae- Sage of the soldier bonus bill would cost the government approximately $2,300,000,000, Secretary Houston estimated today before the senate ‘finance committee, considering the soldiers’ aid measure. The treasury geecretary declared enactment of the bill meant an ad- ded burden in the way of taxes, reiterated a statement, made before the committee last week, that the treasury ought not to be caled upon to assume any additional burdens. Method of Estimation. While Mr. Houston said it was accurately the exact cost of each of the four optional aid plans, he believed the estimate submitted was substantial- ly correct. anLd settlement provsi- ions of the bill contain so many | uncertainties, he added, that the cost entailed by them could only be guessed at. Assuming that all of the men would@ select one of the four op- tional plans, Mr. Houston estimat- -| ed the cost of each as follows: Adjusted service pay, $1,342,000,- 000. ie Insurance provisions, $4,534,000,- 000. Vocationa] training aid, $1,880,- 000,000. | Farm and home develpoment, *$1,- 880,000,000. As the plans were .optional, the secretary eaid, the choice of the men would not be confined to any one .of them and allowing -for the various selections he arrived at gis estimated cost of $2,300,000,000. Faces Problem. to be “aginst a wall” as to meth- ods of obtaining revenue to meet tie outlay that ‘would be required if the bill Weré enacted. He called the coémmittee’s attention to the suggestions for new taxes contain- ed in his annual report, but ex- plained that these were mentioned only for the information of cor- gress and without any sort of rec- ommendations. He did not attempt to discuss the various tax guggestions, asking. the committee to hear Dr. T. S. Adams, tréasury economist and tax expert, who gave a comprehensive resume of the tax situation, referring fre- quently to Secretary Houston’s dis- cussious of the question in his an- nual report. He declared the treas- ury was daily seeing new’ evidence of a furthemedrying up of revenue saurces ,ad the task of computing tax réc..7§ was to that extent becoming more difficult. Men. Leave Jobs. -In addition to the difficulties thus confronting the treasury, Dr. Adams declared the internal revenue bureau faced another problem in keeping experts on the job. He said the men who were capable did not stay long. Senator Smoot, republican, Utah, said the “real danger is that these men ‘get training in the revenue bureau, then go out and help big firms evade tax payments.” Dr. Adams said that might be true to some extent, but that he knew “of one man who left the bureau a year ago whose resigna- tion cost the government mililone of dollars in uncollected taxes for he was an executive with’ an expert knowledge of the work.” Wants Simpler Taxes. The witness said this was typical of the “labor turnover” and that it directly affected the tax collections and would continue to have a more direct effect on such collections un- less tax laws were simplified. Senator Smoot said ail those dif- ficulties could be avoided if reve- nue law which “the average man can understand” were passed by congress. The committee adjourned without setting a date for further hearings. Father Heads Posse Which Scours County For Slayers of Son Daytona, Fla. December 27.— Posses were scouring Volusia coun- ty today in search of the eight armed men who last night kidnaped and severly beat Arthur Hames and mortally wounded his son, Grady, 19, when he went to the rescue of his father. Young Hames died of his wounds today. His father is heading a posse in search of his assailants.

For the stipulation of the anonymous philanthropist who' gave his check for $1,000 was that all checks in- coming should be applied to the ten “Opportunities” and the remainder of this donation should go to other charitable institutions in Atlanta. John A. Manget, who, when the campaign was but half over, an- nounced that he would give one dol- lar for every ten received until the end of the appeal, Sent in Mon- day his check for $140, thereby ad- ding that amount to the fund which will go to the two homes mentioned. As the matter 1fow stands, $2,128.- 50 has been secured through the generosity of Atlanta in general, thereby necegsitating at present the use of $671.50 of the-silent giver’s check for the fund’s compietion.This by the use of a simvle problem in subtraction, shows that $328.50 is now available for .division between the other institutions. Send in Donations, In fairness to the Associated Charities and to the donor who wished his thousand-dollar check to do the greatest good to the greatest number, it is urged that all those who have intended sending in their subscriptions to the opportunities do so, go that they may be applied to the needs of the ten families, and so that the money which their checks will replace may be available for the institutions specified by the donor. Officials of the Associated Char- ities Monday redoubled their profuse thanks to Atlanta for the response made to their appeal through the columns of The Constitution, and they assure all donors that their money is doing its greatest possible good in providing the necessities of ‘life for almost two-score people who have not the means te pro- The treasury .secretary profesed. | yide all. for themselvesy 4» —-— ~~.

NOMA TUFT COMMITS SUICIDE Despondency Over Death of Husband Cause of Tragedy in Downtown Office Building Monday Afternoon. Despondency over the death of her husband ten months ago, which is believed to have been accentu- ated by the galety of the Christmas season, culminated in the suicide of Mrs. Noma Tuft, of Decatur, in the Cloak room of a local life insur- ance company on the eighth floor of the Trust Company of Georgia building, shortly after 3 o’clock Monday afternoon. Mrs. Tuft's mother had died near the Christmas holidays a year ago. Mrs. Tuft was ‘alone in the cloak room at ,the time of the occurrence. Clerks in the main offices heard the report of a pistol, and upon rusfing into the cloak room, found Mrs. Tuft lying upon the floor shot through the left temple.. A .32-caliber revolver from which one shot had been discharged, lay near her right hand. Mrs. Tuft, who was about 35 years of age, had been employed as. a register clerk in the accounts de- partment of the insurgnce compa- ny for about two months. _Since her employment there,* her associates had noticed that she was often de- spondent. Her relatives and most intimate friends stated that her mental depression was caused by the death of her husband, following shortly after the death of her mother. Approach ef Christmas. At the approach of the Christmas season, it is stated, her desponden- cy increased. and her spirits seem- ed to be greatly lowered, although she continued to perform her du- ties In a manner entirely satisfac- tory to her employers. The manner in which she ended her life is regarded as extremely strange, the pistol she used not being .a new weapon and the cir- cumstances under which it came into her possession remaining a mystery. , Officers investigating the case were unable to determine who first discovered the body.

Abilitg "to "Forge Causes“Uncle Joe” To Be G rateful Washington, December 27.—Young Joe Cannon, aed 84, g0ing gon 89, is walking around ths capitol these days endeavoring to act as if he didn’t know anything was about to happen. He has become aware in some manner that a surprise party is being arrangfied for him, and is trying his best not to spoil the surprise. ~As a mater of fact, one of the committee in charge of the party gave the secret away a few days ago, when he asked Joe to be sure and be in the house Wednes- day. That was a dead give away to the bright young Illinoisan, though nobody has told him yet just what form the surprise will take. He doesn’t want to know, of course, for he doesn’t believe in spoiling sur- prises. But he has figured out the reason for the affair. Wednesday he will have made a new record of service in congress. He will have served a day longer then than Justin 8S. Mor- rill, of Vermont, heretofore the rec- ord-holder, whose total period of service when he died was forty-three years, ninemonths and twenty-four days. By the end of his present term, Cannon will have exceeded Morrill’s service by more than two years. “Cause for some reflection—those 43 years,” it was suggested to the veteran tod.y. “And for gratitude,” he replied.

An application for a general re- vision of its classification of com- modities as granted recently by the interstate commerce commission aft- er a hearing which attracted nation- wide attention, was filed by the American Railway Express compa- ny with the state railroad commis- sion Moffday afternoon. The pe- t'on was considered of so. much im- portance by Chairman C. Murphy Candler that he has deferred set- ting a date for the hearing and has referred it to the entire commission, which holds its next executive ses- sion December 30. This petition is the third to be filed with the state railroad com- mission’ within the las tfour months, and if granted it will result in an increased revenue for the corpora- tion, according to E. M. Price, rate expert of the commission, who is now examining the revised classifi- eation in order to make his report to the board. When the petition was before the interstate commerce commission, shipping interests throughout the country opposed its passage, it is stated, and one of the strongest contests before the commission this year resulted. Following the adoption of the petition of the American Railway Express company for 121-2 per cent increase in its rates, the Géorgia board granted the same application in regard to intrastate rates. The labor board of arbitration’ then granted an increase in wages to .ex- press employees, and another peti- tion for a 131-2 per cent increase in rates was filed with the inter- state commission and was subse- yuently granted, When the petition was:filed with the state railroad commission, how- ever, it was denied, ad the rates under the first application are now in effect. The present petition for a revision of the corporation's clas- sification of commodities will be considered OF the commission Thurs- ‘and the @ Tearing will be announced shortly after- ward, One of the most tmportant de- cisions expected to be reached dur- ing the executive session of the come mission, is the petition of the South- efn Bell Telephone company for in- creased exchange rates. This ap- pHcation was heard some time ago and has since been under serious consideration of the board. While no definite announcement has been made, it has been indi- cated by Chairman Candler that the study of affidavits submitted to the commission has been completed and the decision will be handed down early Thursday. Other cases to be considered by the commission are the Augusta Gas Lieht company. petition for in- creased ..rates; Savannah Gas com panv. petition for Increased gas rates; Americus Ligthing company, petiton for increased gas and pow- er rates; Consolidated Telephone company, whieh operates ten or twelve exchanges in south Georgia, petition for icreased rates; Mu- tual Light and Water company, of Brunswick, petition for increased gas rates: Georgia Public Service company, of Cordele, petition for increased light and power rates; Rome Railway and Light company, petition for increased power and street lighting rates.

The legionnaires, however, on their own initiative, fired on the regulars and the advance Was re- sumed on the morriing of December 26. ‘ A communication of Zara dated December 26 says the Fiuman le- gionnaires and the Dalmatian volun- teers at Zara surrendered to the regulars.

Rome, December 27.—Crowds at- tempted to hold demonstrations here in favor of @’Annunzio tonight, but mounted guards dispersed those en- gaged in the manifestation. The incident followed a meeting held by hRationalists in favor of d’Annunzio, Later several] nationalists, in re- venge for the breaking up of the demonstrations, decided to put an end to a concert being directed by Sergius Koussevisky in the Augus- teum. They formed in a column and entered the building ¢rying “Viva Italian Fiume. Viva d@’Annunzio.” The concert was interrupted and several scuffles occurred between the invaders and the audience. Prompt intervention by the police re-established order and only a few arrests were made. Gives Up Hope. Little hope that Captain Gabriele d’'Annunzio will be able to hold Fiume against Italian regulars is entertained by Signor Odenigo, lo- cal representative of the “regency of Quarnero,” who, with several friends and sympathizers, has been anxiously awaiting developments along the Adriatic. “TI am afraid all is lost, unfortu- nately, even honor,” said Signor Odenigo today. “All advices point to the conclusion that we must abandon even the last hope of be- ing Italian, as the government has granted the port of Baross, between Fiume and Susak, to Jugo-Slavia under secret understanding. The Italian government is now prepar- ing to occupy Fiume with military forces and apply the treaty by force. Captain d'Annunzio, with 4,500 men, cannot resist an attack by 20,000 un- less a miracle happens, but it is a shame.” MRS. NOMA TUFT COMMITS SUICIDE Continued From First Page.

SCATTERED KILLINGS REPORTED IN IRELAND Young Woman Shot Through Heart as She Protects Companion. Dublin, December 27.—The holl- days passed fairly quiet in Dublin, contrary to expectations. The cur- few order was not relaxed, but on Christmas eve it was to some ex- tent ignored by roisterers through- out the night, and there was much alarm and shooting, several persons being slightly injured. A young soldier in civilian clothes was shot dead by a sentry in the grounds of the Royal hospital at Kilmainham, on the west side of the city, for refusing to halt when challenged. In different parts of the country men were shot dead by armed gangs. An official report says that crown forces who were approaching a place where a dance was being held near Bruff, County Limerick, were fired upon early today and one po- liceman was killed. Five civillans were killed when crown forces re- turned the fire. One hundred and thirty-eight civilians were made prisoners. Elizabeth Scales, the young wom- an who was killed in Limerick, lost her life in a brave attempt to pro- tect her companion, Constable Rich- ardson. She rushed between him and several assailants, and received a bullet in her heart. DE VALERA STILL IN HIDING. New York, December 27.—-Eamonn de alera, “president of the Irish republic,” who went into seclusion several weeks ago, “for a rest,” is still indisposed in his hiding place near this city, Harry Boland, his secretary, said tonight. Boland, who has just returned from a New England trip with Mrs. Muriel MacSwiney, widow of the late lord mayor of Cork, said he in- tended visiting de Valera tomor- row. Shortly after de alera gave up his hotel suite here, Boland said he would reappear the day after Christmas im order to keep speaking engagements in the west. He denied cabled reports that de Valera was on his way to Great Britain. Springfield, Mass., December 27.— Mrs. Murie] MacSwiney, widow of the late lord mayor of Cork, was greeted by crowds of well-wishers when she passed through this city this afternoon on her way from Worcester to New York, accom- panied by Harry Boland, secretary of Eamonn de Valera. She appeared on the platform and acknowledged the greeting.

New York, December 27.--A mes- sage from George Tchitch2rin, soviet minister for foreign affairs, in which he denounced the present American administration for “hostil- ity” to the soviet government, was made public here today by Ludwig Cc. A. K. Martens, soviet “ambas- sador” to the United States. In accordance with orders contained in the message, Martens notified the ‘department of labor that he will | surrender himself for deportation to | Russia on January 3. Instructions from his govern- ment, Martens said, were to the ef- fect that he must not appeal from the order for deportation. recently signed by Secretary of Labor Wil- son. Cancelation of $50,000,000 worth of contracts with American firms was also ordered, according to Martens. < Meeting to Protest. A mass meeting to protest against the deportation of Martens will be held in Madison Square Garden Sun- day atfernoon by the American La- bor Alliance for Trade Relations with Russia. The alliance issued a statement tonight declaring that the action of the administration “does not in any way reflect the opinion of organized labor in America,” and contending that resumption of trade relations with Russia would relieve the unemployment situation in this country. The message from Tchitcherin de- clared that while most other na- tions of the world are entering into economic relations with soviet Rus- sia, America is making such rela- tions impossible. To Cancel Contracts. “We must resign ourselves to the fact that Russia for the time be- ing, due to the hostile attitude of the present American administra- tion, will have to get along without its co-operation,” the message said. | “You are instructed to return to | Russia without delay, together with the Russian citizens who are members of your staff and to can- cel and liquidate, in accordance with instructions you will receive from the commissariat of foreign trade, all orders placed with American firms.” ¥ The message continued: “The hostility of the present American administration expressed in this act cannot reflect the opinion of the American people, especially of the American workers, who have given so many warmly appreciated proofs of sympathy with the work- ers and peasants of Russia. ‘Under the most trying circum- stances you have during two years honorably and patiently endeavored to carry out the instructions re- ceived by you to establish friendly relations with the United States. You did so notwithstanding mali- cious insults and petty persecutions on the part of some.elements in America, convinced that eventually the common interests of the people of America and Russia would elim- inate the obstacles to understanding. “Cold Fact.’ “Even now we are certain the masses of the American people will in time bring about such an un- derstanding. At the present mo- ment, however, we are confronted with the cold fact that America, who repeatediy avowed her good will toward the peopie vot Russia and with whom Russ.a for many reasons was eager to develop mu- tually advantageous co-operation in the economic field, makes such Co- operation imppssible. This is due at a time when. most other nations of the world, even such as openly conducted war against us and wast- ed no time on sentimental assur- ances of friendship, are entering into economic relations with Rus- sia.”’ Martens asserted that continued refusal to resume trade relations with Russia will nullify a six-bil- léon-dollar order for American goods, alleged to have been brought to this country by Washington B. Vander- lips, of Los Angeles, who recently announced that he had procured a 400,000 square mile concession in Siberia for a California syndicate. There are about 15 Russians in Martens’ staff here, and he had ap- plied for permission for them and his family to accompany him home. SENATOR FRANCE MAKES COMMENT.

MARTENS CANCEIS)‘Passing Show’ Is Carnival|i IE Of Froth and Foolishness) To opened a week’s engagement at the Atlanta theater last night, there has been‘thus far only one objection advanced—the fina] curtain follow- ed too closely upon the first. Which is saying something, since three hours elapsed between the mo- mentous events mentioned. Now that the thing is started, we may as well turn the rest of this revue over to those two comedians, Al Klein and Roy Cummings. If we don’t, they'll probably come up and take it anyway. For they dom- inote the road production of J. J. Shubert’s Winter Garden show even more than exceptional good looks dominate its chorus. That’s a de- batable point, so— Before too much is said about the masculine stars in the fifteen scenes of colorful, funful and mu- sical co eget apg hcg it might be well, after all, to @well for a mo- ment or so on the chorus and those giris of the cast who did a bit too much to be cjassed sc generally.

First and last, there fis more o portunity for feminine beauty “The Passing Show” than in most because there are more women Then, too, the percantage of breath- grabbing beauties from the entire pulchritudinous output is appalling- ly enthralling, if we may. No man minus the technical vocabulary of n Poiret can begin to talk about the gowns they wore, he must give it up with a sigh and hope you can imagine the array of drapes, trains, head-dresses, sequins, beads, veils, others and yet 6thers that his poor brain jis trying to analyze to a mod- erate extent. Back to the commedians. Roy Cummings is the first person seen in these parts for quite some while who could successfully transplant the slambanginest of slapstick com- edy to the hard boards of a real stage and get away with it. He tied himself in knots several times, re- clining alternately face down on the stage and all down in the or- chestra pit. He tied a curtain into a small rosette and threatened to bend Mr. Haase’s theater double. He didn’t destroy but two straw hats. The management must be thankful that it’s winter and straw hats are cheap, if anything is. * Klein a Nut. Al Klein, always supported con- versationally and frequently phys- ically by his good-looking brother, Harry, is a nut, that’s all. He’s off his so-called ka-zip and replete with conniptions, His chatter is — Ludwig C. A. K. Martens, Russian soviet agent in the United States, senator France, republican, Mary- land, in a statment tonight de- clared that it “is time for our gov- follow the example of Great Britain by opening up the channels of trade for American citizens in all parts of the world.” “When Mr. Martens leaves the country,” said Senator France, “the Russian people will be without a representative here and while their representatives in Great Britain have been recognized and most prof- itable orders for immense quantities of goods are being placed by these representatives in England, the United States, by our policies, will be isolated and prevented from par- ticipating in this most desirable and lucrative trade, “I shall not go so far as to say that the policy of our government toward Russia has been dictated by the British, but we do know it has been most advantageous to British interests.” “The dearth of manufactured ar- ticles in Russia is so great and the purchasing power of the soviet gov- ernment so great,” Senator France added, that the opening of Russian markets “would do much to restore more prosperous conditions in this country.” x4 TINO IS DETERMINED HE’LL GO TO FRONT Athens, December 27.—King Con- Stantine today declared to delega- tions from the provinces that he must go to the Smyrna front.

Wri H. Philbrick its another comedian who does things drunken and pseudo-heroic. He, too, is good.

Dolores Suarez, just as brunette as Miss Carrington is blonde, is delightful. Florence Cum- mings,, vivacious and brunettish, dances furiously and gracefully in almost every one of the scenes. Her “Incense dance” was especially well received. Peggy Brown and Billie Shaw were good-looking enough not to have sung and danced, but they did rather well. A Typical Revue. Edward Baase and Victor Bozarit did whatever matinee idol stuff was The music must tion to the music. That’s why the final curtain is adjudged too soon descended. There wasn’t opportunity to absorb a)! that happened in the revue, and the audience would have liked a few minutes more for that purpose. _Mechanically, as to the revue itself, it’s just a revue. Nothing is supposed to happen. by rote, and doesn’t, for if it did, everything would be spoiled. And nothing Was spoiled, except the audience, which was spoiled like the little boy who is allowed to have too much jam and bread. See “The Passing Show;” you'll like it. The rest of the week will find it exerting itself justas strenu- ously and satisfactory as it did Monday night—every evening, with matinees Wednesday and Saturday.

NOT QUITE UP TO IT You Feel That Way If Your Blood Is Starved for Red Cells PEPTO-MANGAN MAKES RED BLOOD Overcomes That Languid Feeling That Cheats You Out of Work and Fun You say, “I wish I could go, but I don’t feel able.” Your friends say, “Are you il)?” You are not exactly sick, you just feel unable to approach work or play in the old, vigorous spirit. The high speed at which Ameri- cans live sometimes taxes their strength. The blood is weak, lack- ing in red cells. When thie condi- tion exists, Gude’s taken three times a day shows quick benefits. Pepto-Mangan is known to physicians:as The Red Blood Build- er. It increases the supply of rich, healthy blood and in the absence of deep-seated disease this means health and strength for-men, or women or children. Pepto-Mangan is put up tin both liquid and tablet form. Both forms are exactly alike in medicinal quali- ties. When you order Pepto-Man- gan, be sure to ask the druggist for “Gude'’s.” And l00k for the name “Gude’s” on the package. If “Gude’s’”’ ie not there, it is not Pepto-Mangan. —(adv.)

The mayor will advocate that $500,000 be expended in the erection | of a magnificent new Tech High school to replace the delapidated and. congested plant in which the insti- tution is now housed. The remain- ing $500,000 of the building fund he will urge the board to expend on grammar school construction, and will recommend the following tenta- tive program: A ae new school in the Expo- sition ilis section; a large new school in the Capitel avenue sec- tion; a large new school in the up- per section of the third ward; a large new school in the Virginia- Highland avenues district, and the turning over of the adjacent Boule- vard schoo] to negroes. Additions to Schools, Erection of an annex to the Lu- cile Avenue school; erection of an annex to the Williams Street school: repair of the Davis Street school; an additional story at the Meador- Goldsmith school; the building of a new unit ‘at the Calhoun Street school, and the erectio nof a new negro school at the location of the Pittsburg school. As a secondary schedule for 1922, the mayor will advocate the follow- ing new schools, the erection of which, he stated Monday, he will ask the council of that year to finance with the levy of another emergency tax.

COMMISSION TO NAME MANAGER OF DECATUR Following the adoption of its new charter and the naming of four commissioners, a meeting will be held tonight for the purpose of electing a city manager of Deca- tur, who will have active charge of the city’s business for the com- ing year. The new city manager will assume his duties on January $3 and his term of office is indeter- minate. A large number of applicants have been listed as desiring the job of running Decatur, and members of the commission express the belief ‘that they will be able to secure a satisfactory man out of the 500 or more applicants. EMPLOYEES OF LYRIC ENJOY XMAS PARTY In accordance with the custom of theaters oon the Keith circuit throughout the country, the Lyric theater held a Christmas party Sat- urday night after the last perform- ance, The party was held at the Ansley hotel and was attended by every empolyee.

Lat- er she was sent home. It is stated that Miss Kelly had gone into the bathroom, where the gas tubing had béetame disconnect- ed from the heater or sprung some leak, and htat she was soon over- come by the escaping gas.

Gideon Resolutions. In resolutions recently adopted, the movement to open the motion picture shows of Atlanta on Sun- days was condemned by the Atlanta Camp of Gideons, the Christian com- mercial travelers’ organization.

Lee Ashcraft, new head of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, who was chairman of the Atlanta chap- ter of the Red Cross during the War and St-war perlods of ac- tivity, said that the retention can only be obtained through a realiza- tion by Atlanta business and civic leaders of the advantages of the headquarters’ location here and ‘|their activity toward showing the national heads of the Red Cross that oe is the most favorablé loca- tion. “Atlanta has in the southern di- vision headquarters a trained and most efficient organizataion which should not be disrupted,” said Mr. Ashcraft Monday. “This city is the natural center of the territory and is directing successfully Red Cross activities of greater scope than any other in the south. “The city of Atlanta also has taken a lead in the south in its support of Red Cross activities. In the recent membership campaign Atlanta obtained a total of 21,000 memberships, Memphis and Bir- mingham reported about 10,000 each and New Orleans, although much larger han Atlanta, had a total of only 20,000 in its last report. I think these figures should be one con- vincing reason why Atlanta should retain headquarters office.” "MIDNIGHT FROLIC SEAT SALE IS BRISK Splendid Entertainment Is Planned for Charity Event Friday Night. A large number of people are going to frolic at midnight Friday night when the good year 1920 withdraws gracefully from the scene, if the advance sale of tickets to the “midnight frolic” at the Au- ditorium-Armory New Year’s Eve is any criterion. Beginning Monday morning, tick- ets were placed on sale for the event at all principal hotels, drug stores, cigar stands and other van- tage points, including Jacobs’ at Five Points and Ponce de Leon; Cone’s, Oppenheim’s, Lagomarsi- no’s, Marshall’s and other places. /- The sum of one dollar will pur- chase not'‘only a seat to see a world-beating show made tp of five of the finest vaudeville acts, but it will also secure a place on the dancing floor when the or- chestra tunes up on the stroke of 12 and thousands of couples form to dance the new year in. The “midnight frolic,” according to advance information, is to be one of the biggest and best entertain- ments of the sort ever seen in this city. There is not to be a single bit of amateur entertainment in the entire proceedings, unless some of the dancers chance to be amateur- ish. All the regular entertainment which precedes the dance will be given by the best professional tal- ent taken from the biggest theat- rica] circuits, none of which has been seen in Atlanta this season. The committee of Tech men who are arranging for the show for the benefit of the financial campaign of the Atlanta Anti-Tubercuosis as- sociation, has pledged that the event is going to be professional from start to finish. Even’ the dance music, which is to be supplied by a huge orchestra made up of ‘musicians under one of the best- known conductorg in the south, Is to be extraordinaby. The Tech boys know what the public wants at a show, and they are as skillful in arranging dances as anybody in town. All informa- tion which they have imbibed from college dances about town they are incorporating into the big dance Saturday °-night. The committee consists of D. C. Moore, Robert Kennibrew and C. A. Deihl. Although the performance ifs be- ing given for the benefit of the Anti-Tuberculosis campaign, con- tributions will stop with the pay- ment of the price of admission, and there will be no collection inside the doors. It is expected that a very handsome sum will be realized for the worthy charity from the very large sale of tickets now going on. Doors will open Saturday night at 10:30, and the stage performance will start at 11, followed by dancing at midnight. DEAF AND DUMB GIRL TO DANCE AT CONCERT Sole dancing of Miss Maxine Mor- ris, a deaf and dumb girl, will be an interesting feature of “The Dream of the Orient,” to be pre- sented by Senia Solomonoff and his pupils for the benefit of the Atlanta Woman’s club auditorium fund at the Auditorium Thursday afternoon. It is stated that Mr. Solomonoff’s accomplishment, in teaching the girl in spite of her handicap, is regarded as unique. He will demonstrate his method before the meeting of the National Association of Teach- ers for the Deaf and Dumb in New York next summer. He will go to the Deaf and Dumb institute at Cave Springs within two weeks, it is stated. . ATLANTA BULONG BOM I PREDICTED Smith Points Out Shortage in Nation's Housing Facilities. That the United States as a whole is today facing the greatest case of “over supply” in its history in practically every line of productive industry, except that of home build- ing, but that the immediate future will witness tremendous forward strides in this direction was the opinion expressed by Percival Smith, editor of the general trade section of The Atlanta Constitu- tion, in a talk to members of the Atlanta Builders’ exchange at their weekly noonday luncheon Monday. “While the world war was on, Mr. Smith said, “every possible ef- fort was made to produce food, clothing, means of transporthtion and those vitally necessar» require- ments which war conditions de- manded. Such building as was done was to meet these war conditions, but the individual] housing of the nation was almost entirely sus- pended. “The birth rate of’ our houses dropped to about four per cent of normal, while the death rate— the loss through fire, deterioration and lack of upkeep—increased above normal. Millions—both pro- ducers and non-producers—had to be fed and clothed. The matter of shelter being of secondary im- portance, the temporary needs of the battlefield went forward while the permanent needs at home marked time. “Once under way, the nation- wide movement to make the land produce the grain, the cotton, the meat, the wool and the hides that meant food and clothing for a great poftion of humanity, could not and did not stop with the signing of the armistice. The result is today an enormous oversupply. The mar- ket for our surplus products lies abroad, but the most of the world is broke and cannot buy. We over- inoked this possible contingency. We must stop now and help the world finance its way to our mar- kets. This is being done, and after a periog of readjustment, pro- duction will go on again in the usual high-pressure American man- ner. “But we must be housed—and we will be. The country is as far behind, or undersupplied, in this particular, as it is ahead, or over- supplied, in other ways. There is no argument on this point. A*vast hiilding nrorram is before us; the need is imperative now and can- not be side-stepped. Building ma- teri2l prices are rapidly righting to a sound basis. “When this time comés—and it !s close at hand—the big work will begin. Its carrying out will not be a matter of months, but of years, and when it-is once reasonably caught up with, Atlanta will be a city of double the population it is today.” Mr. Smith’s statements met with the hearty indorsement of those present at the luncheon, which was unusually well attended, and the general trend of oninion was that Atienta will soon be busv with a building movement such as it has never before known—one that will eclipse the past year with its in- crease of more than three million dollars over any previous year in the city’s history, and that this movement will continue for several ‘years to come. PRIDGEN INIURED WHEN CARS CRASH / ON MONDAY NIGHT R. lL. Pridgen, of 403 East Geor- gia avenue, sustained a_ serious wound in the top of his head, a badly bruised and mashed arm and shoulder and other painful inju- ries Monday night when the *auto- mobile he was driving east on Geor- gia avenue struck the rear of a car belonging to A. L. Camp, of 762 Capitol avenue, which was parked on Georgia avenue near the corner of Capitol. Pridgen was taken to the Grady hospital, where medical attention was given his injuries, and he was then locked up at police headquar- ters under charges of operating an automobile while intoxicated. The accident was investigated by Call Officers J. H. Davis and J. E. Me- Daniel. The machine Pridgen was driving was totally wrecked, turning a com- Plete somersault. Camp’s ear was also badly damaged.

Attorneys _ stated that when Vaughn reported to the camp in 1918, on instructions from the local draft. board, the officers ignored Vaughn, claiming, the attorneys as- serted, that they had no record ot his enlistment. Yaughn returned to his home, but was later brought back by his father. He was thrown into the guard house where he was kept twenty days, and aft- erward told that there was no rec- ord of him, they said. Vaughn then returned home, it was declared, .where he remained until his arrest in November, 1920, by the sheriff on a charge of de- sertion. TQ REPLACE BUILDING DESTROYED BY FIRE Work to Start Immediately on Peachtree Street Structure. Work will begin immediately on’ &2 new structure to replace the building occupied by Dahl, the flo- rist, prior to the fire Christmas day, which destroyed the entire building ana caused damage to ad- jacent property, according to an- nouncement Monday by W. UH. Kiser, owner of the burned proper- ty: Mr. Kiser said that he had not yet decided what sort of a struc- ture he woura place on the site of the old building, nor the amount which would be expended on the improvement, but he said that he had conferred Monday with archi- tects and builders with a view to beginning work on the develop- ment as soon as possible. The central location of the piece of property makes it one of Atlan- ta’s most valuable pieces of realty and it is believed that the new building to be erected will be mod- ern in every respect and a suitable addition to those constructed re- cently in the downtown area. The damage to the Ballard. Opti- cal company and the confectionery establishment, Nunnally’s, will be repaired immediately and has not been reckoned as extremely serious, according to heads of those firms. The business of Dahl’s has gone on uninterruptedly since the fire, all orders being filled from the green houses at 400 Forrest ave- nue, to which location the entire staff of designers and rT work- m3 has been transferred tempora- rily. I. R. Gresham, manager of tho es- tablishment, announced Monday that the company’s future quarters would be at 72 North Broad street. Some of the business of Dahl’s was Monday transferred to the store of the West View Florists at Peachtree street.

One of the many interesting de- velopments that have come to light since the grand jury investigation into the gambling situation in At- lanta, is the discovery of a picture of “Big Frank” and “Scush” Thom- as, alleged New York gunmen, in a building in the rear of 803 West Peachtree street, the latter the resi- dence of Clyde Smith, who has been indicted along with Floyd Woodward on the charge of conducting the wire-tapping syndicate.
