CHRISTIAN IDEAS
CAUSE MAN TO
REFUSE FORTUNE
BUZZARDS BAY, Mass., Nov. 30.
(By the Associated Press.) —Charles
Garland, the young man who has
renounced his right to a million
dollar legacy left him by his father,
James A. Garland, who was a wealthy
club man and yachtsman of
Boston, Monday made a formal
statement of his reasons for reject
ing the money. His statement, he
said, was due to the fact that the
many reports of his failure to accept
the legacy had failed properly to pre
sent his position. x
•‘I refuse to accept the money be
cause. it is not mine,” was young
Garland’s summary of his action.
“A system which starved thousands
while hundreds are stuffed condemns
itself. A system which leaves a
sick woman helpless and offers it
services to a healthy man condemns
itself. It is such a system that of
fers me a million dollars,” he con
tinued.
Hungry Should Be Ted
“It is blind to the simplest truth
known to every child, the truth that
the hungry should be fed and the
naked clothed. I have had to choose
between the loss of private prop
erty and the law which is written in
every human heart. I chose the one
which I believe to be true.”
Garland, who has stated that he
renounced his claim to the million
dollars because he thought Christ
would have done the same, contin
ued:
‘‘l believe I could do no good
with the money. It is the man who
gives food to the hungry who does
good, not the dollars given in ex
change for the food. I would be
happy to be the man if I had the
food to give, but I cannot lend my
self to handling the money that is
not mine even though the good that
might be done is possibly great.”
Many people have written to tell
him what could be done with the
money, he said. “They seem almost
proud to point out the power that I
have in my hands, but it is the most
pitiful thing they could point to.
“You cannot serve God and mam
mon.’ So many people ready to serve
the dollar means so many less to
serve God. There are great oppor
tunities to do good, but they are in
men’s hearts not in my checkbook.
A preacher in the name of Christ
said this million should have been
turned to good. He thinks that God’s
work is paid for in dollars. God's
work will never be done until men
see that this theory is untrue.”
Staying with Mother
Mr. Garland’s statement was made
from his home here, a former inn
of the staage coach days. The young
tnan, who is twenty-two years old, is
living at the house with his wife and
infant daughter as the guests of his
mother. Mrs. Marie Tudor Green,
who supplies them with a maid and
keeps their larder full. He plans to
go to work eventually, he said, but a
year at Harvard college, which he
left to get married, and preparatory
schooling in this country and in Eng
land fitted him for no work ready at
hand, and he said he thought it
would be spring before he found any
thing. His wife joined with him in
his sensation of the million, Garland
said. His mother, although not hold
ing the same views, has told him to
do what he thought right.
In another house on tho estate
lives James A. Garland, 111, a broth
er of Charles Garland, who has ac
cepted his share of his father’s es
tate. made larger by the fact that the
mother of the boys abandoned her
rights in order to marry Francis C.
Green after the death of her first
husband. At Harvard college is Ham
ilton Garland, a third son who laclc;
several months of reaching his ma
jority. His brother Charles said to
day that he understood Hamilton
also was considering refusal to take
his share when he became of age.
Their ideas on the subject were some
what similar, he said, although the
influences of education and environ
ment were not identical.
Garland indicated that his refusal
to take the money was not based on
any question attached to the origin
of the Garland fortune, saying he did
not know from what source it was
derived, but he believed it came down
from his grandfather.

LABOR PLANNING
TRADE COLLEGES
IN LARGER CITIES
CHICAGO, Nov. 30.—Organized
labor’s interest in educational facili
ties of its own, illustrated by the
authorization of a committee by the
American Federation of Labor to
study the possibilities of a central
labor university, is evidenced in
the formation of “trade union col
leges” in a number of the large
cities of the country and elsewhere
in other educational enterprise, ac
cording to Charles B. Stillman, pres
ident of the American Federation of
Teachers.
Among the trade union colleges
etstablished are those at Boston,
Washington, Philadelphia and Se
attle, Mr. Stillman said.
In New York city he said the
ladies’ garment workers union had
secured the co-operation of the
board of education in providing
school rooms and teachers and had
supplied a number of lecturers of
their own. More recently, he added,
various unions there have united in
developing this educational work on
a larger scale.
In Chicago the school’s committee
of the Chicago Federation of Labor
and the educational committee of
the Women’s Trade Union league are i
co-operating with the board of edu- ;
cation holding classes once a week
at the rooms of the offices of the >
Women’s Trade Union league. The ■
board of education supplies the ■
teachers, with the exception of the
public speaking teacher, who is a
University of Chicago professor and
not on the public school payroll. Be
sides public speaking, parliament
ary law, essentials in English, and
short stories constitute the ma
terial offered.
“The increasing interest in the
establishment of labor colleges is
a very hopeful sign in this recon
struction period,” Mr. Stillman said.
“There is the most urgent need for
trained civic and industrial intelli
gence. Organized labor has always
recognized this, as is shown by its
vigorous part in the creation and
development of our public school
system.
“But hundreds of thousands of
workers have been prevented by eco
nomic reasons from continuing" their
education as far as they desired.
The night school classes of the
public schools partially meet the
situation for large numbers, but
often the special subjects and char
acter of instruction needed can be
provided only by the workers them
selves. in co-operation wjth members
of public school, college and univer
sity faculties.
“Courses in English, literature,
public speaking, history (political
and industrial) civics and citizen
ship, labor legislation, history of
the labor movement, economics,
mathematics, sanitation and social
hygiene, have proved most in de
mand.
“The movement has already dem
onstrated not only that labor will
extend this educational work under
its own auspices, but that the pub
lic schools will broaden their edu
cational facilities for adults to help
meet this growing demand.” v

MEXICO CITY.—The induction
into office of president of General
Alvaro Obregon means peace for this
republic—peace, the condition little
known here for ten years. •
Os course it may mean progress,
it may mean wise statesmanship and
prosperity, but the people of Mexico
want peace and they elected the most
popular man in their realm to give
it to them.
Ever since the election Genera}
Obregon and Provisional President d 4
la Huerta have been busy pacifying
all factions. His aim has been peace
at any price, for Mexico never had,
a president or a leader that couldn’t
make war,.but it has had few that
could establish peace.
So the new regime took up with
General Pelaez, in the oil district;
with the General Zapata factions
in the 'state of Morelas; with Pancho
Villa and the Yaqui Indians in the
north, the question of “peace.” ,
It literally went into the market
and bought peace. Pelaez had caused
much trouble in the oil district of
Tampico, and he is now settled down
to quiet life; General Zapata “died
in action” six months ago, but his
followers were still menacing things,
so a. conference was called; and
the story of how General Villa was
put on a ranch ip Zacatezaez and
given a life-time job being good is
too familiar to repeat. The Yaquis
are quiet for the first time in years
—in fact, it is said nobody but Obre
gon had been able to get them to
abandon the war path.
Real Peace Worker
So the man who took office here
today bids fair to become the world’s
champion peacemaker.
Villa and another brigand—a man
who at one time murdered sixty-five
persons, and who has since been
drowned —killed an Englishman in
1917 named Benson. Obregon didn’t
argue the question long as to wheth
er the Mexican government wgs re
sponsible for this killing. He sim
ply said “flow much do we owe you.
and he agreed to give the English
government $20,000 as indemnity t€
the relatives of Benson.
This transaction was made by the
provisional government, but it ,is
known that Obregon was the moving
spirit of the peace program. '
The provisional government sent
Senor Roberto V. Pesqueira to the
United States as the "confidential
agent” of de la Huerta. His job
has been to make peace with every
interest that was opposed to peace
in this republic. He divided his time
between New York and AVashington
and he got the “price” of every in
terest) that is, private interest.
Seeks Recognition
In this respect it is believed Obre
gon will establish justice and de
pend upon the Washington admin
istration to extend recognition re
gardless of whether certain exploit
ers are satisfied. .
One of President Obregon s first
acts will be to float a large loan,
if that is possible- What Mexico
needs now is money. The public
debt is. around $500,000,000 and her
finances are in bad shape. The tight
money market is probably the worst
handicap Obregon faces.

SPECIAL FLAG -
IS ONE HONOR
DUE PRESIDENT
WASHINGTON.—Most folk know
of some of the prequisites that will
accrue to the next president of the
United States, such as a band, which
is at his disposal—the Marine band
—and the White House conserva
tories, which provide the first lady
of the land with flowers, but it is
not so generally known that one of
the honors bestowed upon the chief
executive is a special flag.
The flag is not seen frequently. It
does not float oyer the White House
Its use is reserved for the most parr
for occasions when the president ap
pears in his ex-officio function .as
commander in chief of the army and
the navy.
The president’s flag tonsits of
the coat-of-arms as they appear on
the president’s seal, against a blue
background, and flanked by four
stars. Its history and use are de«.
scribed in the monograph on Flags
of the World of the National Geo
graphic Society as follows:
“When the president visits a ves
sel of the United States the presi
dent’s flag is broken at the main
the moment he reaches the deck and
is kept flying as long as he is on
board. If the vessel can do so, a
national salute of twenty-one guns
is fired as soon as possible after his
arrival on board. Upon departure an
other salute of twenty-one guns Is
fired, the president’s flag being low
ered with the last gun of the salute.
“When the president is embarked
in a boat he usually directs that his
flag be displayed from the staff in
the bow of his barge. When he
passes in a boat flyin*- his f'ag ves
sels 'of the navy parade the full
guard, four ruffles are given on the
drum, four flourishes are sounded on
the bugle, the national anthem is
played by the band and officers ana
men salute. When the president is
embarked in a ship flying his flag
all saluting ships, on meeting her at
sea or elsewhere, and all naval bat
teries fire a national salute on pass
ing. -
“Previous to the present order
there were two designs displayed on
flags and on colors to be used in the
presence olj'the commander in chief
of the army and navy. The navy de
sign was of an earlier date than
that of the army, and consisted of
the coat-of-arms of the United States,
as shown in the great seal, upon a
blue ground. This happened to be
almost identical with the infantry
colors.
“The president’s colors were de
signed to be distinctive from the in
fantry colors, and consisted of a blue
ground with a large crimson star,
within its angles were powdered
small stars of the number of states
in the Union.
“The double display of flags and
colors at the grand army review in
1915 caused considerable comment,
and as a result the suggestion was
made to the president that the navy
flag might fittingly be. made dis
tinctive from the infantry colors
by the addition of four stars —one in
each corner. The flags of an admiral
and of a general bear four stars, as
a sign of command. The president
approved of the idea, but directed
that the coat-of-arms. as shown on
the president’s seal, be used upon the
president’s personal flag and col
ors.”

Bobby WSalthour at 41
To Re-Enter Racing Game
Following His Divorce
BY O. B. KEELER
Robert Howe Walthour, known
better in Atlanta and to all the world
as “Bobby” Walthour, the greatest
bicycle racer who ever lived, was
Monday granted a divorce decree
from Mrs. Blanche Walthour, on
grounds of cruel treatment—includ
ing threats against his life, he said—
►and immediately after receiving the
decree fronj Judge G. H. Howard,
sitting in place of Judge Bell, “Bob
by” announced that he intended to
give up his business career and re
enter the racing game in Europe.
“I’m tired of being a business
man,” said Bobby, who for two years,
while his divorce suit has been pend
ing, has been working for a big
sporting goods firm in Boston. “I
want to get back m the racing game.
—but not in this country. I love
the old U. S. A., and all that, but in
the United States when you reach
forty you’d just as well be eighty
five. ’He’s an old man,’ they say.
They want kids, over here. No mat
ter if I can trim the best of the kid
bike racers—l’m an old man. Now in
France, they rate a man bS’ what he
can do. And I’m going back to the
old game, at forty-one. Going back
to France where I lived fifteen years
—not as an old married man, but as
a young single man. I’m going back
to the game.”
two Walthour children, a son
and a daughter, both are of age and
independent. Bobby said, adding that
his retirement from “the game” had
been made necessary by the constant
worry and annoyance incident to his
domestic troubles and disagreements
with Mrs. Walthour.
Bemarkable Athlete
Walthour. peculiarly Atlan
ta’s own, stands today as perhaps
the most remarkable athlete living;
a man who won and retained cham
pionships in one of the severest and
most intensive of sports over a period
of more than twenty years. He
started the racing game in Atlanta,
after beginning to show his speed as
a bicycle messenger. He raced here
many times in the old days, under the
supervision of Jack Prince, and by
1902 he was a world-figure in the mo
tor-paced game, then having an im
mense vogue.
Bobby won championships in Amer
ica, France. Germany—all over the
world. He has held perhaps the only
recognized world championships in
the bicycle game; and his marks at
many distances, notably from one
to thirty miles, still stand unequaled.
For fifteen years the World Almanac
printed “Bobby Walthour’’ opposite
all the records up to thirty miles,
which latter distance he had negotiat
ed in 31.52—a mark so ‘ unapproach
able in these later days, when they
are riding thirty miles in 41 and 42
minutes, that the Walthour marks
finally, and unfairly, were expunged
from the World Almanac. In Ger
many, he holds a record of fifty-seven
miles and a fraction in one hour—an
other absolutely unapproached mark.
Boby’s record has stamped him an
iron man in more ways than one.
Sound as a dollar today, hard as
nails; a medium-sized blond athlete
weighing 160 pounds, he has survived
numberless desperate spills and ac
cidents so severe that three times
he was pronounced dead. For exam
ple, he has suffered a fracture of the
collar-bone twenty-six times. Both
legs and arms have been broken;

his hurtling body snapped a thick
wooden stanchion at the side of the
track —and that wasn’t one of his
hardest falls, either.
Taught Trench Soldier*
In the war period, Walthour de
voted much of his time to teaching
American athletics to French sol
diers, in classes that at times num
bered over 1,000. He was well known
to the French people, and immensely
popular, and it is said that his ath
letic lessons were taught in all to
more than 100,000 French soldiers.
Monday afternoon Bobby talked
with a boyish fire and enthusiasm
over his expected venture abroad,
which he expected to make in Jan
uary.
“I'll ride a German make of wheel,”
he said. “For that type of track rac
ing—motor paced—it will be geared
to -150; perhaps 160 for the big
tracks. For sprint racing I never use
a gear higher than 96: The bike
weighs about 19 pounds.”
And this time Bobby will make
the venture alone. Always in the
old days Mrs. Walthour was With
him. Their early married life was
not lacking in romance and senti
ment. Mrs. Walthour always had a
box at the races when Bobby was
riding—that fact is well remembered
in Atlanta. And once, over in Ger
many nearly ten years ago, Bobby
was in a terrible spill, and the doc
tors gave him up for. dead, and had
turned away from his senseless form,
when Mrs. Walthour rushed to his
side and fairly compelled them to
turn back and work at the seemingly
honeless task of reviving him.
Now, however. Bobby appears to
agree with Kipling, that “lie travels
fastest who travels alone. And he
will go back to France, he says, a
young mhn—to start again in the
racing game, alone.

A bashful curate found the young

Popocatepetl, Great
Mexican Volcano, Is
In State of Eruption
MEXICO CITY.—The question
which has been violently agi
tated in the newspapers recently,
whether Mt. Popocatepetl is strok
ing apparently has been settled in
the affirmative by various persons
who within the past few days have
ascended this famous volcanic moun
tain.
El Universal several days ago an
nounced that “Popo" which is the
nickname the Mexicans have given to
the mountain, was in a state of erup
tion and was emitting much smoke
and steam. Other papers denied the
story, asserting that Universal’s re
porter had merely seen a cloud hang
ing over the mountain.
The argument was not settled until
four Americans from Mexico City
spent four hazardous days climbing
the mountain, the trip being so ar
duous that one, an itinerant photog
rapher from Milwoukee, died later
from exposure.
According to Henry E. Juergens,
“Popo” is in a state of mild eruption,
emitting steam and smoke at inter
vals but no lava. Its crater is about
800 feet in diameter and 1,000 feet
deep and a descent into the crater
may be made for several hundred
feet. There is a continual rumbling
and groaning inside the mountain
with occasional heavings during
which huge holders at the bottom of
the crater are lifted several hundred
feet.
The ascent of the mountain is
made byway of Amecameca, a small
village at its base. Mules carry the
climbers to timber line over a thin
.trali and from there it is anexhaust
ing struggle through knee-deep snow
coated with a deceptive covering ot
sand. The four Americans made the
ascent from timber line in six hours.

Ugh! Calomel makes you sick. It’s
horrible! , Take a dose of the danger

Calomel is mercury! When it

is when you feel that awful nausea
and cramping. If you are sluggish,
if liver is torpid and bowels cijnsti
pated or you have headache, dizzi
ness. coated tongue, if breath is bad
or stomach sour, just try a spoon
ful of harmless Dodson’s Liver Tone
tonight.
Here’s my to anv
drug store and get a bottle of Dod
son’s Liver Tone for a few cents.
Take a spoojiful 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.)
