RED CROSS SEEKS
INFORMATION ON
FORMER SOLDIERS
A former soldier, now a patient
at a United States public health
' hospital, has requested the home
service division of the Atlanta Red
Cross bureau through the Boise, Id.,
Red Cross chapter to locate Ralph S.
Gibbs, a former sergeant in the
army. The soldier, who has been a
patient at various hospitals since
January, 1918, claims that his sick
ness was caused by an injury sus
tained while in line of duty at Camp
Mills, N. Y. He was a patient at
the camp infirmary at Mineola.
The soldier was discharged from
the army February 7, 1919, but re
tained in the hospital. He states
that Sergeant Gibbs was a member
of his company at the time he was
injured and desires to secure a
statement from him as evidence
which is required by the war risk
insurance bureau in granting com
pensation. Sergeant Gibbs is said
to be a resident of Atlanta.
The Red Cross also has received
a letter from the bureau of war risk
insurance stating that Jesse Wilson,
former private in the Eight Hun
dred and Sixth Pioneer infantry,
took out Insurance while in the
army with Missie Reed, of More
head, Miss., as beneficiary. The sol
dier died while in the service and
the benficiary has not been located.
The bureau was informed that Wil
son has an uncle, J. M. Wilson, re
siding in Atlanta, employed in one
of the national bank buildings. In
formation concerning Wilson is de
sired in order that the bureau may
pay the Insurance to the nearest
relative of the soldier.
Another soldier now under treat
ment, at the United States hospital
at St. Louis, Mo., is requesting in
formation concerning a former
lieutenant in the Three Hundred and
Twenty-first machine gun battalion
under whom he served. The ini
tials of the lieutenant are believed
to be “S. B.” He is supposed to be
living in Atlanta. While in the
service the soldier claims that he
was stricken several times and was
relieved of duty by Lieutenant Haw
kins. A certificate from the lieu
tenant, sustaining his claims is de
sired by the soldier, it being neces
sary to secure the compensation re
quested of the war risk bureau.
The address of Benjamin Frank
lin Purcell is wanted by another
soldier who must also secure cer
tificates from army asociates testi
fying to the soundness of claims for
compensation he has made. Accord
ing to the soldier, Purcell is a school
teacher residing in Atlanta or vi
cinity. The Red Cross bureau is
anxious to secure information. The
Red Cross will appreciate informa
tion concerning the above persons,
sent to Miss Georgia Downing, ex
ecutive secretary, at 63 1-2 White
hall.
Big Rattle Snake Is

WAYCROSS, Ga„ Nov. 27.—A rat
tlesnake, measuring ten inches
around, was killed on the country
place of Mr. W. D. O'Quin, a few
miles south of this city, several days
ago. Mr. J. P. Epting came across
the snake while looking after his
hogs and ran the reptile into a
gopher hole. Te then pushed some
leaves into the hole and set fire to
them. The next morning when he
went back to investigate, he found
that the snake had cremated.
Mississippi Banker
Disappears; May Be

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Nov. 27. —O. M.
Harril, president of the Bank of
Houlka, Houlka, Miss., lumberman,
merchant and reputed to be the
wealthiest man in Pontotoc county,
Mississippi, who has been missing
for two weeks, is today believed to
have met with foul play.
Harril came to Memphis two weeks
ago to attend to some business mat

he was going to Chicago and would
return in three days. That was more
than a week ago. Nothing has been
heard of him since.
Child Burned to Death
In Blaze of Leaves
DURHAM, N. C., Nov. 27.—Clara,

became ignited from a fire of leaves
the mother was burning in the yard.
Mrs. Baucom was seriously burned
in an attempt to save the child, but
will recover, according to reports
from the scene of the accident.
Four Boys Fired On
SPARTA, Ga., Nov. 27. —Informa-
tion has just reached here from
Devereux, eight miles west of Sparta,
that a young school boy named Scrog
gins, son of a farmer, and three ne
gro boys, while riding to their homes
one mile south of Devereux, were
fired upon by a negro hunter and
that all four are more or less seri
ously injured. A call was sent for
the sheriff and a posse to come at
once to the scene of the shooting.
As our boys ‘"came
marching home,” they
brought a certain red-blood

the glory of a perfect body.
They will show us how to
“keep fit,” even if we have
passed middle life and are

NEW YORK BEAUTY LOSES
GEMS WORTH $400,000
It
NEW YORK.—Police and detectives here are searching for
nearly a half million dollars’ worth of gems and jewelry stolen from
Mrs. Charlotte King Palmer, wealthy divorcee here. The thieves
first bound and gagged the house servants after they had answered
the doorbell, believing their mistress wished entrance, and then,
awaiting Mrs. Palmer’s return, seized and gagged her also before
stealing jewels she wore, worth $400,000.
W 7 ill Make Daring Attempt
To Harness Volcanoes as
Gigantic Source of Power
HONOLULU, T. H. —Gigantic pow
er plants, larger than any dreamed
of now, capable of distributing volt
age for thousands of miles in all di
rections, and obtaining a perpetual
force from natural sources, may be
established wherever active volca
noes exist, if the project of Dr. T. A.
Jagger, Jr,, in charge of the Kilauea
observatory here, proves successful.
Backed by the Hawaiian Volcano
Research association and several sci
entific research societies in the Unit
ed States, Dr. Jagger plans to bore
deep into the Kilauea crater to utilize
the tremendous forces now escaping
in gases.
The terrific heat thrpwn off from
these gases will be concentrated to
create electricity enough to supply
the entire island group.
Vast Volcanic Power
Sufficient money to carry the proj
ect through to completion has been
raised. The experiment is being
watched with close interest from all
parts of the world where the problem
of rapidly shrinking oil supply and
other sources of power is becoming
increasingly Complex. .
Should the plan prove successful—•
and there is little doubt that it will,
say scientists who have been on the
ground and studied the situation—
the way will be thrown open for the
immediate utilization of the 425 vol
canoes of the world. That is, and
this is the sole known obstacle to suc
cess, unless the unknown powers to
be released by Dr. Jagger create such
havoc and destruction that they can
not be controlled.
Aside from power in unlimited
quantities, these volcanoes are known
to be hourly wasting sufficient car
bon, nitrogen, hydrogen and lime to
supply the world. All this will be
utilized by Dr. Jagger.
Will Risk Life
These untouched sources of pow
er will, when harnessed, produce
enough electricity and power to light
brilliantly every square mile of the
earth’s inhabited surface and to turn
every wheel now in operation.
This is not the dream of one man,
but the careful, studied observations
and predictions of the world’s great
est volcanologists who recently met
here in conference. Dr. Jaggar, be
cause of his detailed knowledge of
the Kilauea crater, has been chosen to
make the first experiment.
That he will risk the life of him
self and his assistants when the tre
mendous forces now held in leash by
the mountains are released, he re
gards of little moment. There is no
fiercer heat than that created by the
combined volcanic nitrogen and hy
drogen gases. And when this with
ering flame is first tapped scientists
predict that no man or animal will

Millions of people know that it is

at once.
When your meals don’t fit and you

Two Coal Miners Are
Crushed in Slate Slide
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 27.
Two coal • miners were crushed to
death by falling slate in the mine of
the Fall Branch Coal company, at
Oswego, Tenn., late Friday after
noon, according to information
reaching Knoxville tonight.
The dead: Judge Proffet, of Os
wego, and Fanso Denarti, of Wool
dridge.
Fellow miners, after finding Prof

who was about 300 feet further in
the mine, only to find his body

fully three tons. Both men were
married and leave families.

of its source.
This problem, however, is being
worked out by Dr. Jaggar, who ex
pects to have sufficient apparatus
ready to immediately control the
gases which he hopes to strike at a
depth of 500 feet. .
Sure of Success
“No one can realize the tremendous
practical commercial possibilities of
this primal world-manufacturing
process,” says Dr. Jaggar. “Like
any new and untried project, it
brings out skepticism and disbelief,
but it’s bound to come, and when it
does Hawaii will be the focus of the
world’s vision.”
Scientists who are interested
with Dr. Jaggar are John Brooks
Henderson. lamous zoologist and
regent of Smithsonian Institution; Dr.
H. S. Washington, of Carnegie
tute, and Dr. Arnold Romberg, of the
University of Hawaii. Most of Dr.
Jaggar’s present experiments are
being carried on under the support
of the United States department of
the interior.
A JOKE RIAGE PLANK ONLY HIS MAR
BY MABEL ABBOTT.
POPLAR BLUFF, Mo. —Next time
E. E. Penzel, newly-elected state
senator, runs for office, he will not
promise, even in joke, to get married
if the women will elect him.
He was too badly scared this time.
Penzel is a personable bachelor of
35, with a law office at Poplar Bluff.
It was a speech he made at Pied
mont, Mo., a few days before elec
tion, that made all the trouble.
Two Aspirations
In introducing him, the chairman
jocularly referred to his being a
single man. Penzel, not to be abash
ed, gallantly assured his audience he
had two aspirations in life; one was
to go to the Missouri senate, and
the other was to acquire a wife.
“And if the women will help me
in the first one,” he declared, “I will
consider the other.”
The women voted for Penzel, all
right.
Meanwhile, reports of the Pied
mont speech had found interested
readers. The election returns were
hardly in, before Penzel began to
receive letters from women willing
to help him carry out bis contract.
At first they came from points
near by; then from all over Mis
souri; then «-'om othe»* states. Some
of the writers used the Leap Year
privilege of direct proposal: others
delicately indicated that if he would
do the proposing he would not be
turned down. Day by day his mail
increased.
“The Joke’s On Me”
“The joke’s on me,” Senator Pen
zel told me.
“You see, every campaign has to
take women into consideration now.
That’s all right, too, and as it should
be. So in making my campaigns, I
bought cigars for the men, of course,
but I also bought candy for the wom
en.
“But as for that remark about
getting married—l never dreamed of
ATTEMPTS TO
LOWER AIR MARK
UNSUCCESSFUL
MINEOLA, N. Y„ Nov. 27.—Six
unsuccessful attempts to lower the
world’s air speed record over a one
kilometer course were made today
at Mitchel field by Lieutenant C. C.
Mosely in the Verville-Packard plane
with which he won the Pulitzer aero
nautical trophy Thanksgiving day.
The speed attained bv the Ver
ville-Packard was 186 miles an hour,
as compared to 178 miles an hour
made in the trophy event. The rec
ord is 192 miles an hour, set last
November by Bernard de Romenet,
of France. The fastest time for the
kilometer today was 11.97 seconds
Army air service observers, after
the flights, predicted the Verville-
Packard’s speed would be in?reased
by carburetor adjustments. They re
marked that the .ground speed of the
engine decreased after the “take
off.”
The Verville-Packard, it was an
nounced. will be shipped to McCook
field, Dayton, 0., overhauled and
sent in new trials. Later the ma
chine will be taken to the army fly
ing field at San Diego, Cal.
Flying the Thomas-Morse plane,
with which he took second place in
the Pulitzer trophy race, Captain
Harold Hartney attained a speed
over the one kilometer course of
171 1-4 miles per hour, considered
by army officers an exceptional per
formance for the so-called “stock
military” plane. Captain Hartney’s
average speed in the trophy race was
170 1-4 miles per hour.
The Thomas-Morse, flown later by
Captain St. Clair Street, was bank
ed vertically on a turn and lost part
of its wings and fuselage in the
wind. Captain Street negotiated
safely a forced landing at Curtiss
field, a mile away.
Ward Greene Has Short
Story m December Issue
Os “Woman’s World”
Ward Greene, of The Atlanta Jour
nal’s staff, has a short story in the
December issue of the Woman’s
World, and in the last few weeks
has sold other stories to Telling
Tales and to Snappy Stories.
A short story, like a person, is in
teresting because of some indefinable
thing that might be called charm,
though that is an empty-sounding
word. Without it a yarn will bore
you, though the plot is unusual, the
structure good (or seemingly so),
and the words well chosen.
It is this quality that is to be
found in each of Ward Greene’s sto
ries, just as it is a characteristic
of the feature articles he writes for
The Journal. It is what promises
him success in short story writing.
His story in the Woman's World
is a Christmas story, with the set
ting a newspaper office and the
theme the “letters to Santa Claus,”
which are annual features of many
large dailies. One of his other sto
ries, not yet published, has a south
ern farmer boy for the principal
character. The third, to appear in
Telling Tales, has a hero in the per
son of an old Georgia fiddler.
In the last few months short sto
ries by members of The Journal staff
have appeared in five different maga
zines.
On the book page of The Journal’s
Sunday Magazine a series of brief
articles devoted largely to southern
writers have appeared recently. They
bring out the fact that a Macon
woman has published a short story
and a serial recently in The Saturday
Evening Post; that a Savannah wom
an is the author of two books pub
lished by the Century company, each
of which is a best seller; that an At
lanta doctor has contributed a se
ries of stories to Scribner’s; that, in
fact, much literary work of sound
quality is being done in Georgia.
“Food, Feed, Fertility
First” Campaign Being
Planned in Thomas
THOMASVILLE, Ga., Nov. 27.—A
campaign for “food, feed and fer
tility first” has been instituted by
the Southwest Georgia Development
association, and the banks of Thom
as county are co-operating in the
movement.
The banks that endorse this pro
gram and commend it are the Citi
zens Bank and Trust company, the
Oglethorpe Trust and Savings com
pany, the Bank of Thomasville and
the People’s Savings Bank of Thom
asville, the Bank of Ochlocknee, the
Farmers and Merchants Bank of
Coolidge, the Commercial Bank of
Metcalfe, the Farmers Bank of Bos
ton, the Bank of Boston and the
Bank of Meigs.
In the circular issued a scale of
crops is laid out for next year, both
for food and for feed for stock and
also conditions for handling live
stock and realizing the best profit
from it. This co-operation of the
banks with the farmers is expected
to work out a plan that will make
conditions another year different
from those that has made this sea
son a disastrous on£ for the farmer
in many respects.
Negro Boy Scalded

happened on the Dixon Smith place.
The mules which were pulling the

ONE KILLED, THREE
ARE INJURED WHEN
BOILER EXPLODES
JACKSONVILLE. Fla., Nov. 27.
One man was instantly killed and
three others seriously burned and
injured when the boiler on a locomo

the Seaboard Air Line terminals in
West Jacksonville. *
B. Ecklidge Young, twenty-three,
fireman, who was killed, was found
more than 100 feet from the acci
dent. His right leg was severed and
body burned. He died instantly.
Engineer J. L. Melrose, Switchmen
N. T. McVeigh and Robert Cummings,
were also badly injured and scalded.
The origin of the explosion is un
known. The locomotive was pulling
several freight cars when the acci

many feet from the engine.
Miss Augusta Howard Is
Convicted at Columbus
Os Unlawful Shooting
COLUMBUS, Ga., Nov. 27. —Miss
Augusta Howard, convicted 'for un
lawful shooting in connection with
the injury of Willie Lee, a little boy,
who was' plucking magnolia’s from
the former’s yard last May, and
given a sentence of from one to
two years in the pen by Judge
Humphries, in the Muscogee superior
court. . has made bond in the sum
of $2,000, following an application
for a new trial, and Judge Humph
ries will hear the case January 15,
next.
Miss Howard, who is a member of
one of the most prominent families in
this section, was under bond of $2,000
before her trial, and it is understood
the same bondsmen signed the new
paper. Under a grand jury indict
ment. she was tried on a charge of
assault with intent to murder, but
the verdict of the jury yesterday was
for unlawful shooting, a much less
serious offense.
The defendant was not affected in
the least, apparently, by the verdict
of the jury or sentence of the court.
When Judge Humphries asked if she
had anything to say, she promptly
answered in the affirmative, and at
once declared she was not guilty
and that her attorney wanted to ask
for a new trial. On just what
grounds the new trial is to be re
quested hasn’t been learned as yet,
and may not be until the hearing in
J a n u ary.

BILL FOR $47.95
PRESENTED U. S. '
FOR SHIP HINGE
■ 1
NEW YORK. Nov. 27.—Harold F.
Haines, a junior examiner for the .
emergency fleet corporation, testi
fied today in the congressional in
vestigation of. the shipping board
here.
He said the government was spend-!
ing $5,000,000 a month for repairsj
on shipping board vessels at the!
present time. This was based, h«i
testified, on conditions in the port
of New York.
Last January, he said, a govern
ment vessel repaired by Cramps, of
Philadelphia, was considered unsea
worthy by its <;rew which signed a
sealed statement and* left it behind
to be opened in event anything hap
pened to the ship. The ship, he said,
was disabled 400 miles out. He did
not know what became of the sealed
statement. Haines also testified that
a hinge on the steamer Lake On
tario cost 50 cents to repair, and
that a bill for $47.95 was submitted
by the concern which did the work.
Ship chandlers at Ne wYork, Bal
timore and Norfolk, he said, made
33 1-3 to 75 per cent on board pur
chases.
He testified that 25 men had been
Sent aboard a ship in the same port
and remained from 7:30 a. m. Monday
to the same hour the following Mon
day and were allowed apy for
thirty-nine hours a day. In New
Yale, he said, twelve carpenters were
put to work at one time in a wire
less room of a ship which measured
4x4 feet.
Haines also testified to investigat
ing gifts of watches and stock to
shipping board employes. An audi
tor, he added, was paid $5 to assist
in preparing a bill which he would
have passed upon in the ordinary dis
charge of his duties. Investigating
resulted in the auditor being re
moved, he said.
Short deliveries and overcharges
for beef furnished to the Emergency
Fleet ships also was alleged by
Haines. He said 24 cents a pound
was paid for 11-cent beef.

on an order of $4,000 to a ship cap
tain at Portland, Oregon, • also was
testified to by Haines. The name of
the ship was not given. The com
mission, jhe said, was paid by the
Portland branch of a Boston ship
supply firm.
Discovery of silverware marked
“U. S. Shipping Board” in a hotel at
Yokohama, and street venders sell
ing shipping board linen at La Pal
lice, also was testified to by Haines.
He said he did not know whether
these matters had been investigated.
Haines said that within the last few
weeks improved systems of check
ing supplies and repairs and making
purchases for shipping board vessels
had been Installed and would soon
be fully operative, Robert I. Lag
gern, director of the eastern division
of supplies and sales, with head
quarters in Philadelphia, said that
in his department alone $95,000 had
been cut off the payroll in the last
two months ‘‘by weeding out the in
efficients.” The hearings wer ead
journed until Monday.
• The name of Norman R. Hamilton,
collector of the port of Norfolk, Va.,
today was again mentioned in the
testimony.
Haines said that while in Norfolk
he had been advised that if his in
quiries included Mr. Hamilton, it
would be well for him to “lay oft.”
His informant said, Haines testified,
that Mr. Hamilton was the “closest
man in Virginia to President Wil
son.”
He addde that he understood the
man talking to him was related by
marriage to Mr. Hamilton. Haines
said the alleged warning did not de
ter him from continuing his work,
but he adde it was not complete
by him.
D’Annunzio Protests
Boundary Settlements
TRIESTE, Nov. 26. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) —Objection tb Italy and
.Tugo-Slavia fixing the boundaries of
Fiume without the consent of that
city, and “contrary to the fundamen
tal principles of the international
right of self-determination,” has been
sent in a note to the Italian govern
ment through General Caviglia by
Captain Gabriele d’Annunzio.
"We observe also,” says the note,
“you use expressions in your note to
us such as ‘the kingdom of Serbs,
Croats and Slovenes,’ or ‘Jugo-Slavs.’
We have not recognized the exist
ence of such a state. There is an ob
jection to calling the territory about
this city the ‘state of Fiume,’ and the
name ‘ltalian regency of Quarnero’ is
preferred.”
A copy of the constitution of this
state, bearing the autograph of Cap
tain d’Annunzio, was handed to Gen
eral Caviglia with the note.
Officer Does Begging
During His Spare Time
BUDAPEST. —The police in clear
ing streets of beggars have arrested
Dr. Stephen Balkanyi, a clerk in
one of the government departments,
who masqueraded as a beggar every
evening and taking his stand at a
crowded street-corner asked for
alms. Wherf searched 30,000 crowns
were found in his clothing, the re
sult of three days’ begging.
The only circumstance which he
quoted to his defense was: “I am
cursed witn an extraordinarily good
digestion and as >iy government
salary prnved too small for my big
appetite, I was obliged to turn to a
more lucrative profession.”

CALOMEL'S DOOM
The ‘‘Liver Tone” Man
Warns Folks Against the
Sickening, Salivating
Drug
Ugh I Calomel makes you sick. It's
horrible! Take a dose of the danger
ous drug tonight and tomorrow you
lose a day.
Calomel is mercury! When it
comes into contact with sour bile, it
crashes into it, breaking it up. Then
is when you feel that awful nausea
and cramping. If you are sluggish,
if liver is torpid and bowels consti
pated or you have headache, dlzzi
ness, coated tongue, if breath is baa
or stomach sour, just try a spoon
ful of harmless Dodson’s Liver Tone
tonight.
Here’s my guarantee—Go to any
drug store and get a bottle of Dod
son’s Liver Tone for a few cents.
Take a spoonful and if it doesn't
straighten you right up and make
you feel fine and vigorous, go back
to the store and get your money.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is destroying
the sale of calomel because it can not
salivate or make you sick. —(Advt.)

NOT WORKING BUT TIRED
OUT
When one feels always tired with
out working, or suffers from back
ache, lumbago, rheumatic pains,
sore muscles or stiff joints it is not
always easy to locate the source of
trouble, but very frequently It can
be traced to overworked, weakened
or diseased kidneys. Mrs. L. Gibson,
12th & Edison St., LaJunta, Colo.,
writes: “My kidneys were giving me
a great deal of trouble for some
time. I took Foley Kidney Pillg and
they helped me right away.”
