Chattanooga, with all its historic environment, will be the scene of next year's reunion of the United Confederate veterans. * The Tennessee city won the 1913 meeting of the Boys in .Gray after a spirited contest that before it ended had taken a sensational turn. San An tonio and Jacksonville were the op posing cities. It was the Jacksonville delegation that accused Secretary E. H. Hyman, of the Macon Chamber of Commerce, of trying to "sell" the reunion, with San Antonio as the “purchaser." The controversy engaged in bv these two cities led to their undoing, and Chat tanooga was given the next reunion as a compromise and a rebuke to cities adopting such taqtics. Chattanooga secured practically half the total In the convention, the ballot showing Chatta nooga 1.048; Jacksonville, 606, and San Antortio 476. * The first reunion, when the United Confederate Veterans were organized, was held at Chattanooga 22 years ago. Next year’s reunion will be the first in that city since the organization ses sion.

General Walker r was dumfounded when the coffirdittee on resolutions unanimously reported against the ac ceptance of the invitation, and he im mediately took the floor and ' pleaded with his comrades not to be governed by the committee’s action, which he said he deeply deplored.

AT THE THEATERS" RICH COLORING OF DURBAR REPRODUCED BY KINEMACOLOR The Durbar, which occurred last De cember at Delhi, India, and marked the coronation of the king and queen of England as. the emperor and empress of India is one of the most elaborate and ornate occurrences of that strange coun try, and the trappings and colors of the potentates, maharajahs, rajahs and chiefs embody every combination of the rainbow. The pictures showing this, ceremony, which are being produced twice daily at the Grand opera house, reproduce these colors bv photography, and make an in teresting and enjoyable entertainment. The Kinemacolor is an invention of an Englishman and an American, and repro duces the coloring exact. The blue of the sky. the yellow of the sand, the red of the British troopers’ uniforms, the won derful blending of the beautiful colors of the dress and turbans of the chiefs, the mauve of the tents, and the golden and blue trappings of the robes of state are all just as they were worn during that festal period in India. Os probably the most interest to demo cratic America as showing the difference in caste in this country and republics is the scene in which the chiefs of India pay homage to the English monarchs. Be neath the great canopy of state, the king and queen sit on the thrones, while the ruling monarchs of India come singly and bow low to them After this ceremony is over they back away, some more or less awkwardly, especially when they descend the short flight, of steps leading up to the throne platform This engagement is the first production of the Durbar pictures in Atlanta, and'is proving of great historical as- well as pic torial interest. The performances are at 2:30 and 8:30 p m Weeping ‘Honor Men* Returned to Cells in An Unguarded Train RENO. NEV., May 9—On the Vir ginia road a few miles from Reno was witnbssed the end of the convict honor system—for the time at least. Near tfie convict camp stood a special train.

Warden Baker had flatly turned dow n the advice of the governor, who thought that he should take an armed guard with him to bring these men back to Carson penitentiary. Baker arrived where they were at 4 o’clock, walked from the train to the camp and was greeted by fourteen con victs. Others of the gang were out on the road. The men saluted. “Hello, warden,” each smilingly extending his hand. "Hello, Jim. hello, Jack, hello there, you old rooster!" shouted Baker as he walked among them. "Well, boys, I have to take you back to prison tonight and turn you over to the new warden,” said Baker. “Just get your beds together." Countenances of the men all showed disappointment and some of them wept. GEORGIA GIRL KISSES COMMANDER WALKER WHILE “VETS” CHEER MACON. GA., May 9—" l just love you old veterans so much that I wish I could kiss every one of you,” declared Miss Regina Rambo, of Marietta, yes terday afternoon in addressing the con vention in behalf of San Antonio s can didacy for the next reunion. Instantly a dozen grizzled veterans rose and started for the table on which she was standing, and clamored for a fulfillment of her declaration. A compromise was reached when the veterans agreed to have Miss Rambo kiss Commander-in-Chief C. Irvine Walker, and she promptly leaped from the table, threw' her dimpled arms around his neck and kissed the general full on the lips. When she resumed speaking, Miss Rambo declared: "That kiss was as sweet to me as though it had been from my first sweet heart." The convention rule of five minutes to a speaker was suspended for Miss Rambo, and she addressed the old vet erans at length and was given a round of cheers whe.n she concluded.

Paschall, cashier of the First State Bank of Leesburg Texas, which is puzzling him. It reads. "I have a new depositor, and I do not know how to handle the lady’s account. A white hen comes in every morning and deposits an egg behind the vault door; please inform me how to handle this account:” It was not until the price of eggs be gan to soar jweeks ago that this hen selected the bank vault as the place for depositing her eggs. Mr. Paschall says she evidently has a due appreciation of their value. TOOK HIM 27 YEARS TO CROSS CONTINENT NEW YORK, May 9 —Walter Clark jtarted from Eureka, Cal., 27 years ago for Dobbs Ferry. N.

NEW YORK CITY ANNUALLY EATS 1,300,000,000 EGGS NEW YORK.

SLA P WIFIEIO JIO HER COMPLEXION Here’s Rea! News That Will Gladden Many a Man’s Faint Heart. LOS ANGELES. May 9—Here i« something more about the American woman from a foreign savant: Her complexion needs more “lift;” her lungs more capacity, her ankles are "too spindling” and her feet “too podgy." These observations have been made by Dr. Ludwig VonFerre. formerly of the University of Copenhagen and soon tn head the physiology department of the University of Paris. Dr, Von- Ferre is at the Hotel Hayward and not only discussed from the expert physi ologist's standpoint the flaws in Ameri can femininity as enumerated, but told what to dp about them, as follows: For the complexion, indulge in slap ping exercises. For the constricted lung capacity, whistle and sing. For the “spindling” ankles and "podgy” feet, run. Slap Her Hard. "The improvements which the Amer ican women most need,” said the scien tist yesterday, “are in the complexion, the lungs and the feet and ankles. Their’ complexions need more life, their lungs more capacity—for thus the voice be comes more beautiful—and the feet and ankles need strengthening. Os course, these are only some of the necessary points which will lead to perfection, but they are the most important ones. "When I say slap’ for the complexion I mean it—literally. It is no use for a woman to sit in her boudoir for hours every day slapping away at herself. It is too mechanical. Women should have slapping matches. Just as men have boxing matches. A few good slaps in the face and a woman's whole system w ill tingle. The effect upon her cheeks will soon become permanent. In a slapping contest women will be called upon to utilize almost every muscle in their bodies. Run—and Really Run. “Another important thing is running. Perhaps it has never occurred to Amer ican women, but after they reach ths age of, say, eighteen, they seldom, if ever, indulge in running Have you ever noticed a dog which has been con fined so that it has had no opportunity of running o It stalks along with the most ungainly walk you ever saw. And so ft is with women in that a certain combination of muscles is never brought into play. Therefore, they stalk instead of walking gracefully. “Then, the American woman's ankles are altogether too weak and spindling, with a foot that is often podgy. The ankle supports the whole body and should be strengthened at every con ceivable opportunity. Notice an ath letic girl—how- well she deports her self and with what ease she walks along. Every muscle has been equally developed so that she can use one nat urally at a moment’s notice. Whistle —and Whistle Often. “As far' as whistling is concerned, it has, of course, been advocated for many years as a good method of developing the lungs. It. is not as good as singing, but there are many who can not sing or who have comparatively few opportu nities to do so. A woman can w’htstle many times during a day’s work. The more she develops her lungs the great er control she has of her voice, and thus she can more easily speak softly. All of the operatic vocalists have low, sweet voices and assuredly their lungs, are good. "Exercises should be adapted to cer tain conditions and these, exercises ara most admirably adapted to the Ameri can woman in almost every sphere.” SOUTHERN MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION ELECTS ATLANTAN HISTORIAN MACON.
