Approximately ten million litho-
Craphed posters have been prepared
and distributed by the Bureau of Pub
licity of the War Loan Organization of
the Treasury Department to remind
the patriotic citizenship of the nation
of its duty to invest in the Victory Lib
erty Loan. The designs are exceeding
ly attractive and unite to convey a
powerful appeal and to create a na
tional atmosphere which will prevent
any one from ignoring the fact that
Uncle Sam’s fifth great financial drive
Is going forward with even more vigor
than any of its notable predecessors.
The keynote poster of the loan—the
great twenty-four sheet poster which
through the patriotic co operation of
the Poster Adv.vtising Association
will adorn the billboards of the coun
try, and a smaller poster adapted from
the .same design—sychronizes with the
robust slogan, "Finish the job.”
> This poster, which is considered by
many critics to be the greatest Liberty
Loan poster that has been produced,
appeals to every man who works with
his hands, be he laborer, farmer, sail
or, railroad man or other representa
tive of the American army of brawn
and muscle. He is the worker with
his right hand in his pocket reaching
for money with which to invest in the
Victory Liberty Loan. This man, paint
ed by Gerrit Beneker, obviously had no
•ympathy with bolshevism. He is a
partner with his government. His but- ■
tons of the four previous liberty Loans ■
bear evidence of his share In solv
ing the financial problems which
came up in the stress of the fight, and
ills attitude and expression of ready .
confidence on his face Indicate con
clusively that again he stands ready
te provide the necessary money for
'the nation, while, with admirable com
tnen sense and prudent forethought,
making the soundest of investment for
himself.
The display of twenty-four sheet pos
ters of this design aggregates 35.000.
and is believed to be the largest dis
play of twenty-four sheet posters ever
made in the United States. The ag
gregate donations of space for war ac
iivlties by the Poster Advertising As
sociation, which is chiefly responsible
lor the free display of these large bill-
MMsrd posters has been estimated at
Wtioo.ooo.

“PAY AS YOU LEAVE” SYSTEM
IN VOGUE IN ATLANTA
ATLANTA, April 16.—Passengers on
the inter-urban cars running between
Atlanta and Decatur as well as be
tween Atlanta and College Park, are
being initiated into the mysteries of
♦he “Pay-as- you-leave” system. In
stead of paying your fare as you
board the street cars, you quietly
walk in, take your seat and ride to
your destination, the genial conductor
relieving you of a jitney as you get
off.
The system was put into practice
Monday morning, when the six-cent
street car fare went into effect on the
street car lines in Atlanta, but not
on the Atlanta-Decatur and Atlanta-
College Park lines. These two cities
’ters of the Victory Liberty Loan em
jbraces fewer designs than any previ
ous loan, but approximately the same
number of pieces.
Foremost on the list of the smaller
posters is the adaptation of the twen
ty-four design, size 26 in. x 38 in., lith
ographed in eight impressions by Ed
wards and Deutsch, of which 1,768,705
jcopies have been ordered, in response ,
to requests received at Washington
from the respective Federal Reserve
•District Victory Liberty Loan organi
zations. Then comes the design enti
tled "For Home and Country,” paint- :
,ed by Alfred Everitt Orr, representing .
the reunion of a returned soldier with
his wife and child.
This poster has been lithographed in
eight Impressions and two sizes. Os
ithe 20 in. x 30 in. size 860,725 have
been produced and of the 30 In. x 40
in. size 711,312.
The "symbol”’ poster of the Victory
Liberty Loan is a blue “V” outlined In
white to give great visibility on a mot
tled red ground with the word "In
vest” in white below the "V.” The
entire poster is outlined in white and
has a broad blue border. It constitutes
an enlargement of the 12 C wind shield
sticker and is similar to the “Teaser"
poster which was used as a mystifying
introduction to the general poster cam
paign. Approximately 1,000,000 of
these posters have been lithographed.
The poster “Americans All,” paint
ed by Howard Chandler Christy, rep
resenting a woman paying tribute to
I the Americans of diverse racial ori
gins, who gave their lives for the flag
' on the fields of France, is considered
by Mr. Christy to be the finest war
painting he has ever produced. Os this
designed there have been lithographed
1,893.425 posters in nine impressions,
size 27 in. x 40 in.
A poster which should give lively
satisfaction to every individual who
takes pride in the achievements of the
American Expeditionary Forces Is
from the brush of Clyde Forsythe, size
30 in. x 40 in., and lithographed in nine
impressions, with a second edition in
the 20 in. x 30 in. size. Os the larger
size the edition is 1,000,000; of the
smaller, 467,500. The design shows a
doughboy carrying German helmets,
returning wounded, but triumphant
and happy from a victorious assault
upon the German trenches. This pos
have contracts with the street car
company calling for a five-cent fare
and are not under the jurisdiction of
the state railfoad commission which
ordered the increase in Atlanta. The
company has established the “pay-as
you leave” system to prevent unnec
, essary inequalities in service.
GEORGIA MANUFACTURER’S
CON VENTION IS POSPONED.
ATLANTA, April 16.—Edw. A. Kim
ball, secretary of the Georgia Manufac-
I turer’s Association, announces the
postponement of the fourth annual
meetting of Georgia Manufacturers
and Convention of the Georgia Manu
facturer’s Association, from April 16th
and 17th to May 14th and 15th, at Col
umbus.
Foreign trade, insurance, taxation,
ter bears the splendid captain—" And
they thought we couldn’t fight.” An
ample supply of this poster was sent
to General Pershing well in advance
of the opening of the Loan, and it Is
safe to assume that by this time these
posters are well displayed in the
areas of Germany under occupation
by the American Expeditionary Forces.
It must carry a painful lesson to the
Germans, who during the war were re
galed with German posters picturing
Uncle Sam with an insignificant army
and purporting to prove that America
could not become an Important factor
in the conflict.
The sea forces are recognized in the
Victory Liberty Loan series by L. A.
Shafer’s poster, designed, engraved
and lithographed in eight impressions,
size 30 in. x 40 in. and oblong in shape.
This poster is a spirited depiction of
the saving of an American transport
from a German submarine and should
.appeal to every admirer of our navy.
A camouflaged American destroyer has
[Cut across the bow of a great trans
port laden with troops and looming out
iof the mist, just in time to drop a
depth bomb on a lurking German sub
marine, which instead of sinking the
transport, has been compelled to come
to the surface and surrender.
The National Woman’s Liberty Loan
committee will have 300,000 posters,
size 20 in. 30 in., executed with ar
tistic restraint in gray and black on
buff by J. M. Howlett.
A “flyer” poster for the spe
cial purpose of advertising the avia
tion feature of the Victory Liberty
Loan publicity campaign also will be
used.
A special poster approximately four
feet in height by 28 feet in length has
been prepared, the wording being
"They have given their all forever.
You are asked to lend for a while.”
There is also an- eight-sheet poster,
white letters on a red ground, reading
j" Practical Patriotism the Victory
Liberty Loan” and a three-sheet pos
ter in one piece carrying a large "V”
and the wording "Invest Victory Lib
erty Lean” in red and blue on white.
The Victory Liberty Loan posters
>re released for display beginning on
April 13, or approximately a week in
advance of the Victory Liberty Loan
{Campaign, which opens April 11 and
ends May 1A
efficiency and other important sub
jects will be handled by prominent
speakers.
The manufacturers’ of Columbus are
planning many features of entertain
ment for the visiting manufacturers.

the harmony of the occasion save live-'
ly but apparently good natured discus-!
sions on the floor of the meeting.
At midnight the nominating com-1
mittee reported and the following per-!
manent officials were elected by the
convention:
President, \V. E. Page, of Columbus;
Secretary, S. A. Spivey, of Columbus;
treasurer, Adolph Rich. Chairman,
executive committee, A. F. Kunze,, of
Columbus; executive committeemen, J.
L. Herring, Etowah county; I. J, Dor
sey, Lee county (Ala.); C. R. Bell,
Calhoun county; W. H. Herrill, Cle
burne county; J. A. Shields, Terrell
county; C. S. Bentley, Coosa county;
H. Mock, Dougherty county; H. H.
Ah,obrodk, Heard county; J. II Hardy,
Troupe county; Roy Asky, Harris
C. C. Minter. Chattahoochee county;
Ben Russell, Tallapoosa county; S. P.
McDonald, Talladega county; J. W.
Adams, Webster county; J. C.
Wright, Randolph county; J. H. In
gram, Clay county; N. C. Coffin, Stew
art county; A. F. Kanze, Muscogee
county; Judge Fuller, Chambers
county.
The next meeting of the association
will be held in Anniston, the date to
be announced later.
Th enominating committee introduc
ed a resolution, which was adopted,
providing for an entrance fee of SIOO
for each county wishing to contend
for the proposed Florida route.
In order that the tourist travel dur
ing the coming fall shall be diverted
via Columbus and Albany, the asso
ciation went on record as favoring the
immediate selection of a temporary
route. In a resolution offered by the
nominating committee, and which was
readily adopted, profides that a com
mittee of seven, to be selected by the
■ executive committee, view in an im
| partial mannr, the several propoesd
I routes from Tennessee to Albany and
designate one as a temporary route
J over which tourists may be directed
1 until a permanent route can be estab
lished.
A resolution offered by Chairman C.
W. Peters, of the resolutions commit-
I tee, provides that the selection of a
■ permanent short route to Florida be
■ selected during the summer of 1920.
It is quite evident that the real fight
, for the Florida Short Route will be
waged when the executive committee
proposes a permanent route. Should
the committee deem it best to divert
tourists via Alexander City and Ope
lika and not by LaGrange, a fight will
ensue, for the counties traversed by
the proposed Georgia route are deter
mined to land the big road. On the
other hand, determination is just as
great in the counties traversed by the
other proposed route.
And then there is another section
to be recgoned with; the counties to
the south of Columbus are yet to. be
heard from. Their representatives
were here yesterday, but they per
mitted the initial scramble to be con
fined to the counties west and north
of Columbus. It was evident last night
that the South Georgia counties have
something up their sleeve ready to be
sprung at the opportune time.
Only part of the Americus delega
tion could secure rooms in Columbus,
the others returning, leaving Colum
bus after midnight.
Flirts in Atlanta
Must Now Behave
ATLANTA, April 16.—Flirting by
women on the streets of Atlanta is
now under the ban. Police Judge
Johnson has clamped the lid down
tight and he is going to keep it down.
What is more he may create a “Vam
pire Gallery’’ -wherein will hang the
pictures of all the known "vamps”
in town, and if any one of these are
caught at their flirtatious work they
1 will: bring down upon themselves the
wrath of the court.
5 In defining what a' “Vampire” is
Judge Johnson consulted all the best
available authorities and then after
diagnosing the situation, gave the fol
lowing description of what a "vamp”
is:
“A vampire is a woman who iflrts
on the streets with men, bleaches her
hair, camouflages her face and dis
guises herself with clothes and gives
wrong names, but is unable to change
her eyes or dimples.
The last is very important, for upon
this rests the foundation of the
Judge's scheme to rid the city of
“vamps’’ and make his "vampire gal
lery”, should he establish it, an insti
tution of some worth, for says some
experts. “There is one thing these
women can't do. and that is change
their eyes and dimples so that they
can't be recognized from a photo
graph.

quire steamships and deal in bills of

final plans will be made at a meeting
of Southern business men to be held
