tractive than in the past.

$1.50, but when it comes to class, coupled with economy, you’ll find the real

SEENINAGREEMENT
WITH G. 0. P. POLICY
RY HAL O’FLAHERTY
(Special Cable to The Atlanta Journal and
the Chicago Daily News.)
LONDON, Nov. 5. —The Republic
an victory in America establishes at
least for four years a remarkable
temperamental affinity between the
White House and No. 10 Downing
street, for Stanley Baldwin, -who ■
tarts today' his second term as prime :
minister, is the British counterpart
of President Coolidge.
Both of the chief executives are |
noted for their calmness, simplicity i
and cool-headedness. They hold idem'
tical views regarding the necessity
of stability in government, and they
hope to maintain national progress,
both commercial and political, by the
same methods, all of which points to
a thorough accord between the two
great western powers, with an im
mediate and favorable reaction on
the affairs, not only of Europe, but
the entire civilized w'orld.
President Coolidge and Prime Min
ister Baldwin stand for a determined I
opposition to radical changes, espe-I
cially in the field of politics. Where
President Coolidge won fame as an
upholder of law and order in Boston,
Mass., Premier Baldwin is equally
noted in Great Britain as an advo
cate of the same principles.
From the continental point of
view, it may prove rather disturb- I
ing to realize that these national
leaders hold decided opinions on the'
matter of international debts. Great'
Britain’s new prime minister, it will!
be remembered, put through a settle
ment of the debt to the United I
States, and, therefore, he may be ex- j
pected within the near future to seek I
a satisfactory arrangement of the i
debts owing to his country from the
allies who are at present backward
m making payments.

, can Legion members are taking lead

■ celebration, November 11, when pa
rade and dinner will be given vet-
pose of dividing the reparations pay
ments, and it is likely that some
strong arguments along the line of
acknowledgment of the debts will
be heard from the British representa
tive. Prime Minister Baldwin has
repeatedly stated that only one
method exists for settling interna
tional debts and that is by paying
them.
In the field of domestic problems,
Premier Baldwin intends starting
every line of work which was drop
ped a year ago, his main objects be
ing to build up trade and«commerce,
strengthen the industrial ties be
tween the units of the empire, re
duce unemployment and build more
houses. In this task he is greatly
aided by the knowledge that his con
temporary in the White House sees
eye to eye with him and that they
are both assured a long term in of
fice in which to work out their ideas

COOLIDGE ELECTION
IS COfflmES'
GBEITEST VICTORY
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Special Leased Wire to The Journal —Copy-
right, 1924.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. The
conservatives have won their great
est victory in the era of modern
politics in America. Democrats who
feared the invasion by a third party
of vested rights abandoned their
party faith and tradition to join with
Republican brethren in fighting their
common foe—the radicals.
The victory of Calvin Coolidge is
an anti-La Follette verdict as much
as it is an acquiescence in “things
as they are.” The president on the
final count may poll a substantial
margin above a complete margin. In
other words, his triumph over his
two opponents is clear cut. He is
not a minority victor as Wilson was
in the three-cornered race of 1912.
The Democratic party was cut in
half by the election. It lost more
heavily to the third party than it
did to the regular Republican ticket,
but the conspicuous fact is that if
the total Democratic vote in the
northern and western states is added
to the La Follette vote there still is
a comfortable margin for Coolidge.
The effect of this will most certainly
be felt in congress, where, if Mr.
Coolidge asserts himself as a leader,
he will feel more confident than be
fore of the support of public opinion
throughout the nation.
Hesitant and cautious heretofore
because he was serving the unex
pired term of his predecessor, Mr.
Coolidge can now feel in the next
few months as well as in the four
year term beginning March 4th, that
he has the country back of him. He
can remake his cabinet and with
sure-footedness lay before congress
his legislative program.
Two Theories Tested
Two political theories were tested
at the polls this time. One was
whether guilt was collective, whether
a party could be held strictly ac
countable for the misdeeds or a few
of its members and the other was
whether economic issues could be
made paramount in the voter’s mind.
The peopl ereplied that guilt is in
dividual, that Calvin Coolidge was
not tainted with scandaL of preced
ing administrators and that bis per
sonal honesty and integrity were
sufficient answer tc the cries of hon
esty in government. Nobody in the
campaign accused him of dishonesty,
but opponents asserted that the Re
publican party should be punished.
The country chose to think not of
parties, but of persons.
As for the doctrine that an admin
istration in power cannot be over
turned if business conditions are
good and agriculture is faring well,
this election furnished another cor
roboration. Just as in 1916, the ad
ministration was retained on the
prosperity issue, just as in 1920 it
was voted out of power because of
economic disturbance and the after
effects of the war, so did Coolidge
benefit this time by the relatively
big Improvement in the business and
farm world developed this year.
Whether politics can make better
times or save the day when distress
comes is secondary to the all-im
portant fact that the incumbent
benefits when prosperity is either
being enjoyed or near at hand. Un
questionably, the American business
men, for the most part, convinced
themselves that the election of Cool
idge meant better business for them.
Most Democrats in the north and
west felt that way in mercantile cir
cles. It ought to mean an unprece
dented boom irrespective of whether
it had a substantial foundation for
business history shows that psychol
ogy often rules the day.

is elected, then the question of
whether they should have held back
to await the outcome of the election
can be brushed asile as inconse
quential. For they will no doubt de
rive considerable comfort and en
couragement from the decisive vic
tory given the most conservative of
the three candidtaes.
La Follette’s failure to carry the
electoral vote of the west may be a
surprise to some people, but not to
those who investigated the west.
This correspondent found, for in
stance, on reaching Wisconsin that
La Follette’s strength there was
greatly diminished, and that he
•would carry the state by a lower
vote than ever before in his political
career.
North Dakota was found to be
close with a chance for Coolidge to
carry it. These two states indicated
at the outset that La Follette’S pow
er had been over-estimated general
ly and therefore this writer on fin
ishing a tour of the west felt con
fident in say'ng that the Wisconsin
senator would not throw the election
into the house or be the decisive fac
tor he had expected to be and that
>he couldn’t feel sure of a single
•state in the west except Wisconsin
and North Dakota. The final re
turns indicate that La Follette drew
mostly from the Democrats and was
simply the best ally President Cool
idge could have had for the third
party candidate merely made sure of
Coolidge pluralities everywhere.
Lessons for Democrats
The Democrats have many lessons
to take to heart. But the principal
one is that they must now choose
between conservatism—in which the
Republicans can count on outdoing
all imitators—and liberalism, which
shall retain the normal Democratic
vote that stayed with Davis and at
tract the votes cast for La Follette.
The thirty party leaders will not be
willing to stay out in the political
wilderness. They will start think
ing of a coalition wtih the Demo
crats. The southern conservatives in
the Democratic party will naturally
fight the ascendancy of naything
that may be called radicalism but the
next Democratic national convention
will not make the mistake of last
July in making a middle-of-the-road
candidate, no matter how capable
he may be. For in this campaign
John W. Davis was never accepted
in the west as a substitute for La
Follette or even as anti-Coolidge, but
rather as a man of the same school
of conservative thought.
McAdoo would have appealed to
the La Follette voters and perhaps
have prevented a third party ticket
but he couldn’t have carried the east,
so it seems reasonable to conclude
that McAdoo would have made a
better run than Davis and that Al
Smith might have done better than
Davis, too, but that neither McAdoo
nor Smith could have beaten Calvin
Coolidge this year. Smith might hav«
gotten some eastern states but not
the west. McAdoo would have gotten
certain western states but not
enough in the east. It was a year
for conservatives and the person,
not the party in power.
HOW TO DARKEN
GRAY HAIR
Makes One Look Twenty Years
Younger.
Men and women who used to be
c tiled Grandpa and Grandma are
now setting the styles by darkening
their gray hair with a simple home
mixture.
For instance, J. A. McCrea, a well
known Californian, recently made
the following statement;
“Anyone can prepare a simple
mixture in five minutes, that will j
darken gray hair, and make it soft |
and glossy. Merely take a half-pint
of water, add 1 ounce of bay rum, a I
small box of Barbo Compound, H |
oz. of glycerine.
These ingredients can be bought
at any drug store at trifling cost.
Apply to the hair twice weekly with
comb. It does not color the scalp,
is not sticky or greasy and will not I
rub off.”

Willi REPORTED ;
BY CHEST WORKERS
IT FIRST LIIMEON
Entering into the campaign with
an enthusiasm which gave promise
of high success, the more than 500,
workers for a $795,481.31 Community*
Chest budget met at the first daily
report luncheon at the Kimb’all
Wednesday at noon and reported
$98,866 had been subscribed in the
first few hours of work Wednesday
morning.
The largest divisiorf report came
from the special big gifts division,
of which J. S. Kennedy is chair
man. This division, which has been
working for several days on the big
givers of last year, reported SBI,IOO
already subscribed.
The next largest division report v
came frorp the groups division, can
vassing big industries and busi
nesses, which reported $6,135. W.
W. Orr is commander of this division.
The four general divisions report
ed as follows: Division B, headed by
Major C. N. Walker, $6,053; division
A, headed by Fred Gould, $3,235; di
vision C, headed by Major Roy Le-
Craw, $1,310; division D, headed by
Major Julian Boehm, $1,033.
In a short talk preceding the meet- /
ing, Eugene R. Black, general chair-?
man of the campaign, spurred the *
workers to greater efforts by declar
ing that “if the Community Chest
this year is to be a success, it means
that we have got to get about 50 per
cent more in subscriptions than we
did last year.”
“Go aftei 1 the small contributor,”
he said, “but try to get the small
subscriptions in cash wherever pos- /
sible. It saves office work and other
expenses of bookkeeping and collect
ing. And above all get the subscrip
tions increased. Get $lO where you
got $5 last year, and SIOO where you
got $50.”
Roy Gates, general manager of the
Chest, gave the workers a few specif
ic instructions regarding the method
of canvassing, urging them particu
larly to avoid “overlapping” of sub
scriptions wherever possible, and
cautioning them particularly” to get
the small subscriptions in cash
wherever possible.’’
“Last year,” he said, “the Chest ♦
had approximately subscribers, about
21,000 of which subscribed less than
S2O. Their subscriptions suffered a
shrinkage of eight to 10 per cent
through costs of collection and it la
highly desirable to avoid this expense
by getting the small amounts in
cash.”
VITAMIZED WATER
MAKESHENS LAY I
New Vita mine Discovery Gives Amaz
ing Increase in Egg Yield
Spring and summertime egg pro
duction in the fall and winter monthg
may now easily be had through .the
discovery of a remarkable new meth
od of supplying those essential
vitamines that are necessary for egg
production and which are lacking in
thb feed at this season of the year. •
It has been found that loafing or
molting flocks, when supplied with
these vitamines, quickly begin to
lay many times as many eggs, are
out of the molt much sooner, and
are put in prime condition for heavy
winter laying.
These essential vitamines can eas
ily be supplied by simply dissolving
Vita-Gland Tablets in the flock’s- »
drinking water. In addition to pure,
concentrated vitamines, these tablets
also contain Ovarian Gland Sub
stances which rebuild and revitalize
the egg producing glands of the hens,
and hasten the development of the
egg organs of pullets, starting them
laying much sooner.
How to Get Yours Free
To quickly introduce them to new
users, the Vita-Gland Laboratories,
1221 Gateway Station, Kansas City,
Mo., are offering to send two regu
lar SI.OO packages of Vita-Gland Tab
lets, postpaid, for only SI.OO. Or, If
more convenient, you need send no
money now, but give the postman •
SI.OO and postage on delivery of the
two boxes. By selling one box to a
neighbor you can get your own sup
ply free. Moreover, if you are not
gratified with the results, just say
so and back comes your money. Now
is the time to give your flock a
good start for fall and winter lay
ing. Eggs are high and going high
er, and it is by getting them now
that bigger poultry profits are made,
especially with the high cost of
grain feed. As Vita-Gland Tablets
are fully guaranteed you take no
chance in using them.
