April and was a go-between, rep
resenting McKenzie in his plead
ings for a reconciliation.
She declared that they were

II As Mr. McKenzie approached
us we observed that he was car
rying a sawed off shot gun. There
wasn’t another word spoken and
Mr. Anderson did not ‘make a
move to shoot.
“1 believe that Mr. McKenzie
called Mr. Anderson so that the
latter would step out in front of
the car, so that he could get a
better shot at him, but he didn’t.
My husband took quick aim and
machine right between the two
men. I don’t see how I escaped, »

North Georgia Conference at

the Rev. John F. Yarbrough.
Prosperous Year.
All of the churches had a pros
perous conference year, and while
there is prospect of many changes
in the conference as a whole, it is
considered likely that there will
be no changes in this circuit, all
of the pastors having made good
and the members of the various
charges being much plbased with
them, said Dr. Yarbrough.

STRIBUNG FACES
REAL BATTLER IN
Atlanta, Nov. 11.—Young Strib
liog, weighing more than he has
ever before, even though he is in
probably the best condition of his
career, will do battle with Fay
Reiser tonight in Greenville, S.
C.
The fight in Greenville tonight
is Stribling’s first in several
months. In fact, it is his first
since he entered University School
for Boys to take a college prepa
ratory course, and he entered
school at the beginning of the
season.
With Harry Fay, of Louisville,
virtually signed to meet Stribling
in an Atlanta ring Thanksgiving
night, the fight will be of consid
erable importance to Atlanta fans.
Stribling, with “Pa” and “Ma "
Stribling, left Atlanta shortly af
ter noon yesterday on the trip to
Greenville.
According to “Pa” Stribling the
boy is in the best shape he has
shown since he became a light
heavyweight.
Fay Kaiser is older than Strib
ling and has a list of wins that
includes Bob Martin, by knockout,
D’Arcy and Shade.
According to Reiser’s manager,
his battler is set to give Strib
ling one of the hardest fights the
Georgia boy has ever started.

It isn’t a matter of money
nearly sa much as of thought

Get good materials in the first
place; alternate your suits fre
quently, and keep them cleaned

is to it, and you won’t spend
any more money than the “one

Griffin, the largest in the dis
trict as well as one of the most
important in the conference, has
a membership at present of about
1,000. During the past year ap
proximately 70 members have
been added.
Dr. J. H. Eakes, presiding eld
er of the district, is serving his
first year here, likewise the Rev.
B. L. Betts, pastor of the Griffin
circuit; the Rev. W. A. Tilly,
of Hanleiter, and the Rev, Wil
liams, of Third and Kincaid
churches. The Rev. John F. Yar
brough, pastor of the First
church, is serving his second
year as pastor here.
The next session of the con
ference will be presided over by
Bishop Darlington, of West Vir
ginia.
Have Yet to Learn
Much About Disease
What Is disease? Bverybodj
knows that disease involves a phy
sical injury to tissue cells, but what
and how? The truth js, we are real
ly only at the beginning of our
knowledge of the cause of disease.
We must be able to measure exacG
ly the injury, the vitality nnd the
degree of recovery of body cell# to
find the answer, writes Paul H. De
Kruif In the Americun Mercury.
Recently a man named Osterhoat,
obscure save among biologists, bos
made a step toward answering the
question. Working with a common
sea-weed, laminaria, he has begun
to give exact meanings to the hith
erto vague terms, vitality, Injury
ana recovery. He has found that
normal weeds possess a certain re
sistance to the passage of an elec
tric current, that this resistance
may be accurately measured, and
that It Is always of exactly the
some order of magnitude for the
cells of healthy laminaria. But take
<l-e cells out of their natural en
vironment In aea water and put
them In solutions of different con
tent and density, and their resist
ance to the electric current fall*
at once. The greater the damage to
the oells the greater the fall.
The coincidence of the full In re
sistance with the degree of Injury
has enabled Osterhout to construct
equations which predict the exact
amount of Injury that the cells of
laminaria will suffer. He can write
down just how much and how long
a cell can be exposed to damage
and still recover completely. In
brief, Osterhout measures Injury,
vitality and recovery. That Is the
beginning of the answer to the
question: “What Is disease?”
