Carriers Are Trying to Meet In
dustrial Boom and Shove
It Along
ATLANTA, May 21.—The most
phase of the present mild but grow
ing industrial boom is the rallying
ot the railways too mee t and help,
shove it along, according tc business’
men and manufacturers here.: IA has
i ’ en coming for months, it is stated
here. Ihe roads saw it coming as
eally as January 1922, when they
began authorizing expenditures the i
sum total of which hsa now reached
the amazinfi figure of $1,540,009,- I
000, as statictics given out here i
show. Os this $440,000,000 has
been actually spent.
Here the figures given out by At
lanta rairoad men covering the rail
ways of the country as a whole. In
the last iitteen months 223,616 new
engines have been put into service.
By October 1923, when seasonal
traffic reaches its peak, it is pointed
out here, at least 100,000 more cars
and 4,200 additional locomotives
will be available.
In its own interest Georgia and
the rest of the South is invited to
help, say Aatlanta railroad men.
Shippers are asked to load, swiftly,
safely and heavily, and to unload
with exceeding great promtness. The
roads, it is stated, are pledged to get
their own storage coal into the clear
by Steptember 1, and to whip freight
cars over the road at thirty miles a
day. They will reduce cars waiting
repair to 5 per cent and engines to
15 per cent on October 1. Steel
gang and bridge gangs, track work
ers and construction parties are to
be pushed on the lines as early as
possible this spring.
Since 1920. Atlanta railway men
say, the roads have been half hoping
and half dreading this time. It was
bound to come, and when it did come
meant great erpenditures. The roads
had little money in sight and their

INSURANCE MONEY AFTER
THE FIRE SEEMS LIKE
DIVIDENDS OF WISDOM
You’ll know you were right to
take out insurance—after the
fire you’ll realize how sensible
you were. If you did not take
out insurance you’ll be in an en

What's Going

Nobody but Japan is getting any
fun out of the kidnaping by Chinese
brigands of about two dozen foreign,
ers who were traveling north on the

ed to the Chinese.
STEWART
Japan replied the Chinsese govern
ment wouldn’t get it, even if she did
this; that a lot of outlaws would
grab it instead.
The powers said she ought to do
it anyway and Japan complied.
Now the bandits have given them
an example of what they’ve got to
expect.

BANDITS TERMS
MET.
The brigands’ captives include
10 or 12 Americans.
Among them was Miss Lucy Aid
rich, John D. Rockefeller, Jr.’s
sister-in-law, but she got away.
The Pekin government is willing
to pay any ransome and agree to any
terms the bandits name, so presum
ably the prisoners will be freed soon;
but it’s been proved Chinese travel’s
far from safe.
Most of the biggest countries, in
cluding this ore, have a few - Iroops
handy, but a ’and the size of China,
as big as the United States and three
or four times as populous isn’t easy
to nolice.
Neither is it likely soldiers could
get their nrisoners away from the
bandits alive.

CROSS WITH
FRANCE.
England is annoyed with France
for rejecting Geimany's Ruhr prop
osition without consulting her.
She says the offer va. to her as
well as to France and she v.a" en
titled to a voice. At the same time,
she’d told Germany the proposal
wasn’t satisfactory anyway, but ad
vises her to try again.
France has found Dr. Gustav
Krupp von Bohlen, head of the
Krupp industries, guilty .of .anti-
French activity in the Ruhr, fined
him 100 million marks, which is a
trifle to him, ami sent him to prison
for 10 years, which is more serious,,

FIGHTING IN
BRAZIL.
South American cables tell of
victories against the government by
rebels in .southern Brazil,, Tlve
country is a confederation, but
pretty loose and state rebellions are
quite common. The matter is extra

packing companies’ properties worth

The roads took a chance that the

stand and went out and got the
money. They are trying, Atlanta

'SPIRIT PICTURES’ OF
DOYLE REPRODUCED
——
Claim Also Made That Eminent
English Psychic “Faked” Edi
tor of Scientific American
NEW YORK, May 21.—Rev. C.
M. de Heredia, S. J., professo- of!
Holy Cross College, Worcester, { ]
Mass., and author of “Spiritism and :
Common Sense,” has reproduced for i
J, Malcom Bird, associate editor of I
the “Scientific American,” a spirit ■
photograph almost identical with o#ie ;
that was taken by Willie Hope at ;
Crewe, England, which was exhibit- ;
ed by Sir Conan Doyle in two lee- i
tures as proof of the existence of 1
materialized spirits. / ;
The only difference between the '
photograph taken by Hope and that !
taken by. Father Heredia is that in \
Hope’s picture the “spirit” is or. ■ |
the right side ’ of the photograph
while on Father de Heredia’s nega
tive the- face of a man, Admiral
Beatty, is clearly visible in the left
hand side, near the bottom. In both
pictures the sprrit is reclining in a
horizontal position.
While the Fr. Heredia photograph
was being taken Mr. Bird was not
aware that any fraud had been per
petrated, and after the result was !
shown and he had learne I the truth I
Mt. Bird admitted that he might I
have been imposed unon by the Eng- j
lish photographer. The Jesuit ex- I
plaintd to Mr. Biard how the photo- j 1
granh was made, and consented to I
undergo other test if Mr. Bird de- :
sired, as there were so many dis- 1
ferent ways of accomplishing the
result he fe.lt confident he could
again outwit the investigators.
One of the most important spirit ’
pictures exhibited by Sir Conan 1
.Doyle in his lectures was that of '
tht cast of a spirit hand dipped in
paraffin at a seance held in Paris
the supervision of Prof. Charles '
Riehoet. Sir Conan Doyle laid streets •
on the importance of the evidence, :
saying that if his critics could ex- '
plain the “paraffin glove” they could
explain everything; and if they
couldn’t the case for spiritualism was
complete.
Father Heredia, who has studied
■spirits,” mediums, controls, raps and '
laiilc tilting, and who practice all the
. neus of the medium-magician’s
cade, was asked his opinion of this
photograph. “Take a rubber glove”
r.e aid. “Blow it up and plunge it
into- the paraffin. Then deflate it and
draw it out at the end through a
small aperture and you have a trick <
that any child could do.”
Father Heredia first becair. • r.
master of marfk' and mystification i
a student in his youth of the great I
Eerrmann, an “artist supreme ot the :
arts of the medium and clairvoyant. '■

shadowy world of the unseen is only
a hobby.

czar.
Conradi shot him as. they sat at
dinner in a Lausanne hotel.
The Russians, very angry, say
the Swiss authorities didn’t try hard
enough to protect Vorovsky.
THREE-MILE
LIMIT
Like the United States, Russia
wants to extend her limit of au
thority over the ocean from three to
twelve miles beyond her shores.
It isn’t liquor smuggling she’s try- '
ing to prevent but fishing rights she
wants to protect.
England insists on the three-milp 1
limit and has sent a warship to de
fend her fishing craft from Russian
interference. She has sent an until
matum to Moscow, too, threatening,
not war but a 'break in commercial
relations.
PRICE
OF SUGAR
The federal court of appeals in
New York has refused the injunc
tion asked by the government against
speculation in raw sugar .futures.
•This was in connection with the
suit by which the government hoped
to force sugar prices down. Its
lawyer said every 1 cent a Yound
rise costs the people seven millions
a year.
There will be an appeal to the
United States Supreme Court.

BUSINESS MEN’S
VIEWS.
The United States Chamber of
Commerce, a national organization
of business men, has declared for:
American participation in a world
court.
An international.economic confer
ence.
The open shop.
Support of the United States Coal
Commission.
Government aid to disabled World
War veterans.
The chamber, however, did not
mention the soldiers bonus. It ex
pressed its opposition to, government
participation in commerce.

Neglect Your Hair and It Can’t
Be Beautiful, Says Rubinstein
By MME HELEN RUBINSTEIN
International Beauty Expert.
The condition of the hair is large
ly r matter of physical health, but
nowhere is neglect more evident.
Neglected hair is never beautiful'*
sometimes scanty heads of hair may
a pass for beautiful
and luxuriant ones
just because the
possessors g i v e
them care.
Beautiful hair is
clean hair. There
is considerable di
versity of opinion
among hair special
ists regarding the
'frequency with
which the shampee
should occur.
Some maintain that
RUBINSTEIN
every; two or three weeks is none
too often, while others declare that
once in two or three months is fre
quent enough. •
Naturally the hair should be
washed often enough to keep it clean
bu t brushing it thoroughly each
night and using a tonic which is rub
bed carefully into the scalp often
k*>ep it clean without occasioning a
shampoo oftener than every month
or six weeks.
If you have tendency to baldness
or a decided loss of hair, shampooing
should occur only when cleanliness
absolutely requires it, for you are
depriving it of the natpal oil when
you wash it.
An excellent shampoo is made by
beating an ?gg into an ounce of
water and rubbing it thoroughly into
the scalp. The yolk contains iron :i“ ' !
sulphur, both excellent for the hair. I
The white is very cleansing.
.If you prefer to use soap, nothin 11 '
is better than to melt a cake of .
white castle soap in a quart of boil
ing water. Wet the hair first with ,
warm water, then with a couple of
tablespoons of the soap jelly and rub
thoroughly into the scalp. Gather the
long ends up on the crown so that
they', too may be well lathered.
Before rinsing, massage the scalp
with firm, rotary movements. Rinse
the hair through several"waters, the
last of which should be cold. Be
sure that every particle of. soap has
been removed.
Brushes and combs should be se
lected with care and cleansed fre
ouently. For exaggerated cases o r
dandruff or hair ailments it is best
to consult a specialist who will pre
scribe'p remedy for yot’r particular
case. Sun baths are excellent. It is
• ,! -o advisable to let long hair hang
down the back while in the doudoir
that it may have air and freedom.
Dyeing or bleaching the hair
seems to me most unwise and I al
ways advise patrons against such
remedies.
