A Sweet-Smelling
Moth-Preventive
There goes a moth! And at once you fear for your
woolens and your furs.
But it’s a question between the ruinous moth and
an ill smelling moth prevention.
Here then is the solutiive.
An absolute safe moth “driver” with a sweet,
agreeable odor—the smell of red cedar.
‘ b And the moth is a-wing right now—just when
you are packing away muffs and boas, winter under
wear, overcoats, draperies and rugs.
Tiny eggs, less than one-hundredth of an inch
long that will hatch in a few weeks the destructive
little moth worm that eats the holes.

It IS hard to believe that a father

In tho Saturday nnd Sunday papers
tho management of the large skating
rink In tho St. Nicholas auditorium at
Ponce DeLeon park will announce the
full details and lists of prises for the
skating carnival to be held there co
incident with the reopening of the park'

will bo the main attraction on the great

sure to be the attractive amusement for
thousands. Already the fancy skaters'
in Atlanta have contracted with the

signs In costumes and this carnival bids
fair to outclass the former success

ing season In March. At that carnival
there were 1,000 people In the audience.
400 skaters on the floor and over 100
boys In girls in costume. The skating
sessions are three dally; in the mom
lng for ladles, special music on Tucs-

atlon waa shown last summer at the
Casino In Ponce DeLeon park and made
a hit which Is well, remembered. It Is
the only time a dream has over been
shown In moving pictures. To miss It
Is to miss a treat. "A Winter’s Straw-
Ride” Is the paradoxical namo for the
second of the picture plays to be shown
here. This film has caught a most de
lightful outing party enjoying a sum
mer pastime In the dead of wInter.,La<
dies and children, especially, will en
joy this bill.
The Twin Theater.
Bigger and better than ever Is the
announcement for the Twin Theater on
Whitehall street for Friday and Saturv
day. This time the program'will In
clude alx picture plays, each of which
Is absolutely new In Atlanta. The first
film shown will be a Paths, entitled,
“A Military Prison." This depicts the
life of a French soldier courtmartialed,
convicted and sent Into exile. It shows
how he Is pursued and persecuted; how
he tries to escape and Is captured and
his Anal death scene. This will be fol
lowed by "The Chimney Sweeper," a
scene -from London, and "The Psstry
Cook," which can be seen at any home
on Peachtree. In the south side the
ater tho bill will show "A Pig at New
port" and society's capers; "The Clown
and the Statue" and "Captain Kidd,'

Over five thousand people witnessed
the solemn and beautiful ceremony of
laying of the corner stone of the new
Masonic Temple at'Peachtree and Cain
streets Wednesday afternoon at 4
o'clock. t
Threatening weather undoubtedly
kept thousands away, for the street was
massed for the parade,- which moved
from the Piedmont at 3:30 o'clock. A
large proportion of these people re
turned to their homes without attend
ing the ceremony.
The parade of the Knights Templars
nnd Blue Lodge Masons was a moat
Inspiring night. The Masons, near a
thousand In line, left the asylum at
Mitchell and Forsyth streets, about 3
! o'clock, end at tho Piedmont the
Knights moved In front of the column
as an escort .
Uniformed Knights.
The Knights were In full uniform,
and with plumed hats and clanking
swords presented a most soldierly ap
pea ranee. The procession was led by
Couer DeLlon Commandery, a bun
dred strong. Atlanta Commandery was
next; followed by the visiting Knights'
from a dozen or more commanderles.
Behind the Knights camo the Atlanta
lodges of Masons, with the vlslttm -
mombers. Tho officers of the gram
lodge brought up the rear. As the head
of the column reached the site of the
new Temple, the line halted and stood
uncovered, while the grand lodge of
ficers passed through. An Idea of the
number In line may be obtained by the
fact that a* they stood In two lines the
column extended from the new building
to the Piedmont Hotel.
Impressive Ceremonials.
Tho exercise preceding the address
of Grand Master W. H. Norris, of Iowa,

at the northeast corner of yhe building
and asked divine blessings upon the

service.

to the First Baptist church on Peach
tree street. Here the solemn and beau,
tlful religious ritual of the order waa
given, the service led by Grand Pre

an especially fine feature.
The address of the evening was de
livered by Dr. S. R. Belk. pastor of
St. Mark Methodist ihurch, a Sir
Knight, and a member of Augusta com
mandery. His remarks were a magnifi
cent tribute to the Influence and
strength of Masonry. He paid glowing
tribute to the training of the mother
and the home In building character.

an Important part In the world's up
building and character molding. Dr.
