Thomas Stevens Also Finds
Much Material in Atlanta for
Historical Review.
Members of the Atlanta Art associa
tion are awaiting with keen interest
the appointment of a committee by
Mrs. S. M. Inman, the president, to
consider details of the great historical
pageant to be held in Atlanta. When
the committee is appointed it will 'pro
ceed to take tip plans for the event,
considering the cost of carrying it
through, the revenue that may be ex
pected and the details of its arrange
ments.
Thomas Woods Stevens, of the Chi
cago Art Institute, in an address to
the association in the Capital City club
told of the important points to be
brought out in the pageant, and the
most striking scenes and the best way
to present them. He declared Georgia
and Atlanta offer more dramatic his
torical scenes than any state and city
he has visited.
"Probably' the coming of Oglethorpe
from a debtor's prison tn free Amer
ica to make the place in history he
did Is of more dramatic interest than
ar.v part of Georgia’s history.” said Mr.
Sevens.
Not M®rely a Street Parade.
“In the pageant we want to bring
out such points. We do not want to
have merely a street parade. We want
life and reality in it from the start to
the finish, and should bring out char
acters and events. Pick out some of
the great accomplishments of the city'
and present them in a dramatic man
ner Make each scene a place In it
self. separate from all the rest, that
every Important part of it may be
presented in its entirety.
"Amateurs can carry the parts as
well as professionals. When they ap
pear in a pageant they are before the
people only a few moments and in
that time, oven if their power of rep
resentation of a character is limited,
the parts are interesting through the
short scene.”
A number of scenes were suggested
by Mr, Stevens, including the landing
of DeSoto and Oglethorpe, their march
across the wilderness, and later his
torical events of Georgia and Atlanta.
Mr. Stevens returned to Chicago last
night, where he will begin the. Work
of writing the play on which the pa
geant is to be founded.

Up and Down
Peachtree
Milt Saul, Auto-Crat,
Hunts Joker With Club.
Milt Saul, who is prominently con- |
nected with the electric company, as |
the society department always says,
bought an automobile this season. Milt
used to be a newspaper man, and a trol
ley ride on bis expense account repre
sented his idea of luxurious transpor
tation then. But circumstances alter
finances, and Mr. Saul invested in a
runabout.
The first day he drove down to his
office he left his car in front of the
building. That evening, when his la
bors were over, he absent-mindedly
climbed aboard a trolley and started
home. He was nearly there before he
remembered his gas wagon. Back to
tow n for him.
Rut the ear wasn't there Milt toid
the janitor, the police and the govern
ment secret service department, but
they couldn't locate it.
Next day it turned up in an alley
around the corner, where some playful
friend had driven it for a joke on Milt.
But he says when he finds that guy the
bump of humor on his head will look
like a hollow spot compared to other
excrescences which will suddenly sur
round it.
Chinese Laundryinen
Adopt Business Names.
There is a Chinese laundry' near the
Imperial hotel, run by a Celestial who
jubilates in the name of Num Lee.
There is nothing astonishing or re
markably peculiar about that, to be sure,
but it started one of the guests to talk
ing. and this is what he said:
“Ever since my student days I have
had my doubts about Chinese names—
or rather, the names Chinamen employ
for commercial purposes In this coun
try.
“In the little town where I went to
college there was a Chinese laundry
with a sign hanging out in front read
ing 'Wall Shoe.’
"It is said that one of the college
students fixed up that laundryman’s
sign, when the almond-eyed one first
opened shop in that town: and that
when the student came to painting it
the Chinaman merely told,him to fix up
some name that would get the business
—and ‘Wah Shee' was what the Chink
drew. The Chinese, however, always
denied the story.
“Os course, everything may have been
all right and his name may have been
‘Wah Shee,' but well. I've had serious
misgivings with respect to Chinese
nomenclature ever since, nevertheless!”
Society Hoodwinked
By Former Chauffeur.
This is the sad, sad story of a man
who was not what he seemed, and the
moral is that you can go a long time
without being found out if you'll only
-keep your mouth shut.
Ho was well dressed and quiet, and
altogether gentlemanly in appearance,
and when he turned up at one of At
lanta's best hotels as the agent of an
automobile factory he made friends
readily. He was excessively modest,
cten diffident; but several society folk
took him up.
“Where have I seen that face before?
And there's something about the back
et his head that's familiar," some of
the women remarked. But the s'canger
was politely positive that he had never
been introduced to any Atlantans in
the past.
He had a car, and one afternoon ho
took several new-found friends to
drive. One of the guests suggested that
they stop at a fashionable club for a
tea and highballs. They did.
Next day the Atlantan received a
card from the club.
"Please do not bring Mr. Blank to
the club again,” it said.
The Atlantan was shocked. He was
pained. He was sore. He called up
the steward.
i “What’s the objection to Mr. Blank?”
he asked.
"Oh. nothing, except ho is that high
priced chauffeur Mrs. Peachtree
brought down from New York last year
and then fired," was the reply. “Ho
drove her out to the club very fre
quently. Maybe you didn't recognize
him without his livery.”
'1 hat. afternoon the ex-chauffeur,
who had blossomed Into an auto sales
man, faded from the hotel.
Girls Buying- Sox—For
Brothers, of Course.
About every third young woman who
goes into a Peachtree department store
these day's purchases—not silk, lace or
taffeta, but an abundant supply of half
hose —sox. And she doesn't purchase
ordinary kinds, either. When it's not
I pure silk, it s fancy styles and open
works. She says they are for "broth
er."
Just why brother should need sc
many sox at this particular season of
the year is the cause of much puzzle-
J ment to the clerks. And why should
i brother be pay ing a dollar per pail'
. when lie ordinarily employs only a
quarter—or at the most a half-dollar'.’
In addition to this, the young women
have been purchasing a very ornate
style of garter which brother might
wear, of course, but which he never lias
worn so far as the records go
This fact, coupled with two others
lias aided the puzzled clerks in arriving
at a conclusion, w hich com lusion, by
th. by, will go unmentioned here
The facts are these: IGrstly, ex
tremely tight skirts are still in vogue;
secondly, half hose are much cooler
than whole hose. -

GEORGIA PEACHES!
SPEEDING NORTH
Movement of Trainloads of Iced |
Fruit Now on in Earnest.
Receiving Good Prices.
The Georgia peach is flying North
ward this week. The movement has
almost reached its height and the rail
ways between Atlanta and the East
are being taxed to handle the enor
mous shipments.
Special trains, operated on passen
ger schedules and cutting the time
from Atlanta to N'.av York to 26 hours,
are carrying the cars of iced fruit.
The peaches, by car lots, are coming
to Atlanta daily, and the yards are
busier than at any time in the past
year, making up fast trains for East
bound traffic. Atlanta is the concen
tration point for all fruit from south
Georgia points, and most of the work
is done at night, when the daily busi
ness is out of the way.
Plenty of Cars Ready.
The Southern and other railways,
anticipating a big crop, have been pre
paring for weeks, moving empty cars
Southward and storing them in yard-,
enlarging the icing plant in Inman
Yards. Atlanta, and arranging sched
ules which will cause no delay in the
transmission of the perishable freight.
It is believed that there will be an am
ple supply of cars this season, even
for the phenomenal crop expected.
The icing plant in Inman Yards had
been enlarged and overhauled. Tracks
and platforms Ifave been extended to
permit the handling of 24 cars at one
time, and only 15 minutes is required
to ice this number properly. The dou
ble-tracking of the Southern railway
is expected to be completed this week,
giving the road great facilities for the
rush fruit season

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to chip deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is Inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
It i« entirely closed Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition hearing will bp destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by (a
tarrh. which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

IN GIB BUDGET
Requests Only Starters for
Larger Appropriations When
Funds Are Available.
Despite the alleged inability of coun
cil’s finante committee to provide
i funds for a number of important im
provements u/ged, it was learned to
day that the June budget includes
manv small appropriations as starters
for larger appropriations. In this way
the finance committee of next year is
obligated to carr\ out improvements
• miLined by this year’s committee.
The appropriations for new projects
I a re:
For a nurses’ dormitory at the Grady
j hospital. $3,000.
For a fire engine house lot in Ans

For a tire engine house ot in the

For a nurses’ home at the Rattle Hi I’.

An appropriation of $2,50<» for a

cient.

$20.25 PRINCELY PRICE
BLIND TIGER GOT FOR
PINT OF BAD WHISKY
E. W. Bedford, a merchant at 169
Decatur street, today is lamenting the
fact that Tie is the purchaser of the
costliest pint of liqubr in the world.
Tile purchase price was only $20.25.
And at that it was pop skull, blind
tiger stuff
When Bedford bought the liquor
Sunday night he carelessly handed the
blind tiger a S2O gold piece, thinking it
was a silver half-dollar. As the regu
lation price of a pint is 75 cents, he
also handed over another- half-dollar
the real thing, this time—and asked
that he be given a quarter in change.
This was done.
Bedford was enjoying his purchase
immensely when he suddenly discov
ered his mistake in coins.
He instantly began a hunt for f. M.
Hughes, a youth who sold him the li
quor. and when he found him turned
him over to Policeman Steint. But it
was too late. Hughes dinied he had
received the gold coin. and it could
not be found. Bedford “got even,”
however, when Recorder Broyles gave
Hughes .In days straight and bound
hint over for selling liquor.
