fled that sire saw Mrs. Shaft and an- ,

How Long to Move City by Elevator?
FIGURE IT YOURSELF
A statistical fiend held the attention
of al! persons passing in and out of
the Candler building for some time to
-Xlav. As each elevator would come
down he would count its passengers,
make a note, then count the passengers
going up. Following these antics, he
took out his watch and began timing
each car from the second it left the
ground floor until Its return.
Several gathered around him, but h<-
said nothing. Others passed out and
craned their necks, still he held his
peace. Now he figured furiously; he
was solving some problem; then he
paused, stepped into an elevator and
asked the boy what the crowded ca
pacity of the car was. "Twenty-five,
sir,” came the rely.
Hubby Will Do Voting
For Woman Delegate
ToG*o. P. Convention
CHICAGO. May 24. When the vote of
California is demanded in the Republican
national conventibn and it becomes time
for Mrs. Florence Collins Porter, of Los
Angeles, elected as a staunch supporter
of Theodore Roosevelt to do her duty as
a citizen' and a voter, Mr. I’orter will rise
and do the voting. That Is the word re
ceived by Chairman Harry New of the
arrangements committee. “Hubby” bolt
ed just after his wife, thinking to placate
him with the old-fashioned political honor,
had named him as ''alternate.” As soon
as he had proper credentials hubby said
he would go to the convention and do the
voting Also he will attend the cau
cuses
“I shall do the voting in this family as
I did before the fool people of the state
of California voted for woman suffrage,”
he told one of his friends.
Mrs. Porter Will be permitted by her
husband to attend the convention, but
she will sit in one. of the alternates’ seats.
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANO NEWS: FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1912.
Another mad streak of figuring, and
then to those near he announced that
the problem had been solved.
”1 have it at last!” he shouted,
”’Vr!l. what is it?’ shouted several
nd very much worked up.
"These six elevators would have to
run 26 hours at best speed and crowd
ed with ’-'A the car to take the pop
ulation of Mlanta to the seventeenth
floor.”
Her. are his figure*
It takes 45 seconds for the elevator
to go from the ground floor to the top
--90 seconds for the trip both ways;
150 passengers (25 on a car) can go up
every 90 seconds; in 93.600 seconds,
which, is 26 hours. 1040 'rips can be
made. Now. figure it for yourself.

WASHINGTON, May 25. The warm

I busy planning the entertainment of the
foreigners, even arranging to meet the
German admiral and his fleet off Cape

United States navy—th? Utah and the
Florida. These boats will salute the vis
itors and escort them to Hampton Roads,
where they are expected to arrive on June

t ween the officers and men.

and his officers will be the guests of the

home at Mount Vernon, lunching on board
the Mayflower, the president’s yacht.
Although not definitely .arranged, the
president is expected to pay a personal
visit to the German fleet Beside these

ment of the German fleet, the municipal

AUGUSTA. GA.. May 24.—Whether
or not any one is entitled to Insurance
on the life of John Moore, and if so.
who should receive the money. Is a
problem Judge William F. Eve must
solve in an unusually complicated in
surance suit now on trial in Richmond
superior court. The facts are these:
John Moore's life was insured by the
Equitable Life Assurance Society.
Tom Moore, brother of John Moore,
was named as beneficiary.
Roth John and Torn Moore are dead,
and Louis Moore, another brother, is

JURY CONDEMNS
MISUSE DE Li
COLUMBUS. GA., May 24—The
grand jury of the superior court, which
has just adjourned, took a rap at some
of the justices of the peace in Columbus
in regard to the abuse of the garnish
ment law.
In concluding its report in regard to
the garnishment law and the manner
it Is put iplo use by the justices of some
of the courts, the grand jury says:
"This abuse of the garnishment law
has grown to be a source of annoy
ance to the laboring class and has the
effect of demoralizing labor in most of
the industrial institutions of our city.
Roth employer and employee are con
stantly harassed by the evil practices
referred to. We can not condemn too
severely this misuse of the garnishment
law, and if there is no existing remedy
to affect the present evils bv prosecu
tions of parties and court officers, we
suggest that there should be some leg
islation so to amend the garnishment
laws as to provide a penalty both for
parties to a suit and officers of court
who thus abuse the power given under
existing laws for the collection of
debts.”
No young woman, in the joy of
coming motherhood, should neglect
to prepare her system for the physi
cal ordeal she is to undergo. The
health of both herself and the coming
child depends largely upon the care
she bestows upon herself during the
waiting months. Mother’s Friend
prepares the expectant mother's sys
tem for the coming event, and Its use
makes her comfortable during all the
term. It works with and for nature,
and by gradually expanding all tis
sues, muscles and tendons, involved,
and keeping the breasts in good con
dition, brings the woman to the crisis
in splendid physical condition.. The
baby, too, is more apt to be perfect and
strong where the mother has thus
prepared herself for nature’s supreme
function. No better advice could ba
given a young expectant, mother than
that she use Mother’s Friend; it is a

RESTORES LIFE
TO DEAD GIRL
Doctor Massages Heart ot
Young Woman Killed by
Operation.
SCHENECTADY. N. Y„ May 24—In
all truth it can be said that Miss Anna
Loebenstein came back out of the val
ley ot the shadow of death. She owes
her life to Dr. Charles G. McMullin,
who set her heart to pumping again
after it had ceased to beat.
Miss Loebenstein’s sister, in care of
Dr. Louis P. Faust, of this city, was
suffering recently from gallstones. It
was necessary to operate on her, and
she was taken to the Ellis hospital
here.
Dr. McMullin anesthetized her with
nitro-oxide oxygen and ether, because
her heart was not too strong. To per
form the operation it was necessary to
make a long incision through the mus
cular wall of her abdomen.
The gallstones were removed, the.
operation was ended; Dr. McMullin
was sew ing up the abdominal incision
when Miss Loebenstein’s heart stopped
beating. She was pulseless; her res
piration ceased. All the ordinary signs
of life disappeared.
She had succumbed, it is declared,
to the shock of the operation
Instantly Dr. McMullin cut the
stitches he had made In the incision
and reaching up through it gently
seized Miss Loebenstein’s heart. Ryth
mic-ally he compressed the heart, then
relaxed his hold. The pressure forced
the blood into the arteries. When he
loosened his hold the blood filled the
heart just as a boy fills and empties
with water a rubber ball with a hole
In it.
One minute, two minutes passed. Dr.
McMullin's assistants and the nurses
stood breathless; then the heart, which
is only a bundle of muscles, responded
to Dr. McMullin's excitation of it. It
fluttered gently, slowly; very slowly It
took on Its normal action. A flush
tinted Miss Loebenstein’s chalky face,
with a long sigh she began to breathe:
she lived again. She Is practically out
of danger today.
