London, Oct. 1.—Captain Ernest
Ingram doesn't know when he will
get to «ee his first born, who is the
child of the former Dorothy Ben
jamin, of New York, whose first
husband was the late Enrico Caru
so, world famous tenor.
The Ingrams are estranged. They
parted at Palm Beach only a few
months after they were married.
The reason, as given by Ingram,
has just become known.
His bosom -friend, John McCor
mack, famed Irish tenor, who has
no pretentions to Mayfair habits
and manners, is the innocent cause
of the trouble, Ingram explains.
His Explanation.
»♦ I went with him to unfashionable
Irish restaurants—but not a bit
more declasse than Italian or French
ones, if you know what I mean. To
tell you the truth, John McCor
mack and his simple, sincere friends
appealed to me far more than the
stilted snoboerats of society who
surrounded my wife."

Scotch Churches
Use Many Kinds
Of Advertising
Inverness, Scotland, Oct. 1.—This
highland town, which contains 37
churches to care for its 24,000 in
habitants, has much to teach the ad
vertisers whose recent convention in
London dealt lengthily with the
problem of church advertising. For
a quarter of a century these
churches have been compelled to
originate and use many kinds of
advertising.
The papers of the city each wee
are filled with church advertise
ments. Also the churches have the
custom of sending men about the
streets with sandwich boards, and
the fronts and sides of the churches
themselves are resting places for
many placards. However, the meth
od most used has nothing to do with
advertising agents. It is entirely
one of sending out samples in the
hope that the churchgoers will want
more. The minister or one of the
church supporters stands on a street
corner and delivers short sermons
or announcements, while the perma
nent congregation pass about hand
bills.
This advertising evidently -i „■
pays,

phurch.
SORRY, ANYHOW.

perfectly frank with Dorothy when
I met her in Italy. I told her my

“But Dorothy remained wedded to
Caruso—even in her deeds and acts.
After we arrived in New York she
insisted on signing her checks Doro

“But no power in the world can

remains to be told.

Old Soldiers’ Home
To Open Thursday
Atlanta, Oct. I.—A legislative in
vestigation of the Confederate Sol
diers’ home in Atlanta, provided for
by the recent session of the general
assembly, is scheduled to begin
Thursday morning at 10 o’clock in
the senate chamber at the capitol.
A resolution providing for the
investigation was passed by both
houses, after the state officers of
United Daughters of the Con
had made charges of mis
management at the home and alleg
ed mistreatment of the veterans.
Some of the charges affected Super
intendent W. E. McAllister.
An effort was made to pass a bill
requiring that the superintendent be
a licensed physician but the meas
ure was lost in the last minute rush
in the house of representatives.
Members of the joint
to investigate the home are Sena
tors P. B. Latimer, of the 39th dis
trict; Frank S. Loftin, of the 37th
district; A. II. Henderson, Jr,, of
the 32nd district, and Representa
tives W. K. Smith, of Bryan coun
ty, chairman; W. D. Bell, of Burke
county; A. Sidney Camp, of Coweta
county; James A. Dixon, of Jenk
ins county and W. R. Jones, of Mer
iwether county.

GRIFFIN DAILY NEWS
Movie Men of World May Be
Invited to General Conference
Geneva, Oct. 1.—Declaring that
there are at least 50,000 cinema halls
in the world and that the moving
picture is steadily increasing as an
international farce for good or evil,
Julian Luchaire, honorary profes
sor of Grenoble university, France,
and inspector general of public ed
ucation, recently urged the League
of Nations committee on intellectu
al cooperation to convoke an inter
national cinematigraph congress
which would bring together repre
sentatives of promoters, producers,
authors, artists, critics and directors.
Professor Luchaire hailed the mo
tion picture as one of the most im
portant movements in the history of
intellectual life in the course of the
last 20 years.
He said its influence on the popu
lace can only find a parallel in that
of the theatre in the cities of an
cient Greece and that of the daily
press in northern nations -ince tae
nineteenth century.
He estimated that, taking the av
erage number of spectators to be
300 in each of the 50,000 world cin
ema halls, and keeping in mind that
each picture is usually repeated 10
times, a film which goes all over
the world, as many do, is seen in a
relatively short space of time by
150,000,000 persons.
To Make Appeal
For Harmony at
State Meeting
Altikinta, Oct. 1.—The platform to
be adopted by the Democratic con
vention of Georgia, to be held in
Macon October 8, will be a call upon
the people of the state for harmony,
unity of effort in the direction of
development, and a plea for the elim
ination at this time of controversal
political or fractional differences.
In a word, the keynote will be
along the line of “let the dead past
bury its dead,” politically, and for
the state to turn its endeavor for the
present time at least toward agricul
tural and industrial development.
Governor Walker yesterday saic
that will be the line of the speech he
is going to make at the convention,
and the framers of the state party
platform will draw the document
along the same line.
There has been no better time, no
greater reason, no more real desire
oft the part of the people to ‘look to
the east’ than now,” said the gover
nor, “and it is essential that we give

Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 1.—A press
agent blurb is suspected in the ro
mantieally lurid story of the elope
ment of Nita Naldi, famed screen
vamp, and “Giacimel Sanges. **
Frank Naldi, brother of the star,
