SOUTH ON EVE DF
BIG 0.0. STRIKE
Vote of Employees Will Be
Known August 24 Demand
30 Per Cent Wage Raise.
MACON. GA Aug. 12.—The greatest
strike of conductors, irainmen and
yardmen in the history of Southern
railroads is imminent if other employ
ees throughout the South share the
sentiment of the Macon workmen and
vote as the latter are doing in favor
of a walkout. Nineteen railtoads south
. of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi
rivers are affected.
The employees of these companies are
now casting their ballots by mall "for"
or "against” a strike, and the result
will be known on Saturday. August 24.
The result will then be communicated
to the railtoads as an ultimatum, and
if the proposed new wage scale is not
granted, the strike will be called.
The conductors, trainmen and yard
men have demanded what amounts to
an average raise of 30 per cent in
wages, and in the reply from the gen
eral managers of the railroads refusing
the increases it Is declared that the
toads will be bankrupted if the de
mands are granted. It is said the.
increases, if granted, would amount to
more than 34,000,000 a year.
A final conference of the commit
tees from the workmen was held here
Saturday afternoon, with the result
that the blank ballots wore ordered dis
tributed among the employees through
out the South. The Macon employees
are openly stating that they are voting
for a Strike unless their demands are
granted. If a strike is called, railroad
men do not hesitate to say the entire
South’s traffic will be tied up to a great
extent, and passenger transportation
will be seriously handicapped, for a
while at least. Some 8.000 railroad em
ployee? are affected.
W. M. Hamilton and H. A. Fox. of
Macon, are chairmen of the two com
mittees from the Brotherhood of Rail

THIS MAN’S MARRIAGE
NOW MAKES HIM HIS
OWN FATHER-IN-LAW
NEW YORK. Aug. 12.—Members of
the respective family circles of George
IJ. Jordan, of Brooklyn, and his wife,
i who previously had been his mother-
I in-law, are today trying to figure out
; their relationships to eac h other.
' Mr. Jordan, who is 32 years old. mar
pied his mother-in-law a year ago. He
lis celebrating the anniversary of the
! marriage. Mis. Jordan is several years
i her husband’s senior.
Seven and a half years ago he mar
| ried her daughter. Miss Blanche New
| mark. Their domestic life was happy.
I The bride's mother was much with
i them, and for once at least the pres
ence of a mother-in-law was congenial
. to both sides.
i Finally Mrs. Newmark came to live
with Mrs. Jordan, the latter having
, made a stipulation to that effect be-
I fore het wedding.
When his first wife died she made
, her husband promise that he would
• take care of her mother. He kept his
word and a year ago married her.
Just around the corner from Mr. Jor-
I dan’s home lives Mrs. Philip Newmark,
I whose husband is the son of Mr. Jor
dan’s w ife. She opened her eyes wide
in surprise when she was asked today
whether her mother-in-law had mar
s ried her late sister-in-law’s husband.
, "ft's news to me,” she said.
Mr. Jordan was engaged in his duties
r in a commission house at the Walla
’ bout market, but when called up by
telephone he said:
“I am Mr. Jordan and it is true I
p married my mother-in-law. I meant
to keep it quiet. There isn't anything
further to say about it, except that we
are happy.”

ST. LOUIS. Aug. 12. —The pain of a

been out of the house since the swing

her foot two weeks ago.
The couple informed her sisters and
brothers that they were going to a

that they feared if she ventured out
she would injure her foot again.

Without perfect teeth one can not

diseases can be traced to'decayed or

Do not take chances. Have your teeth
put in perfect repair. You'll look bet

BENJ. FRANKLIN WAS
THE INVENTOR OF
THE BIFOCAL LENSES
1 ears ago the idea of a two-vision or
bifocal lens was conceived by Benja
min Franklin. Two-pair of glasses was
very annoying to him. and in his own
words he wrote to Dr. Whately: "Find
this change troublesome and not al
ways sufficiently ready. I had the gla«s
cut and half of each lens associated
in the same circle. By this means, as
1 wear my spectacles constantly 1 have
only to move my eyes up or down to see
far or near. This was indicative of
the genius of Franklin, which was aft
erward known as the split bif ()Ca i.
Years later the cement bifocal was in
tioduced; it is made by cementing two
lenses together, and is still j n common
use. Chen came the idea of using two
pieces of glass of different indice and
fusing them together, making a one
piece lens of two focal powers, which
is known as the Kryptok Invisible Bi
focal.
But in all these there has always
been a lost vision, for tile intermediate
sight has been forgotten. The Hines!
Optical Company, at 91 Peachtree'
street, has recently brought out a
fused Invisible Tri-Foeal lens that is
considered from a scientific and me
chanical standpoint <o be one of the
greatest achievements in the optica! in
dustry. This lens is made in one solid
piece, with three distinct focal powers
which blend so beautifully into one an
other that it Is almost impossible to tell
that a lens of any description is in front
of the eves: it gives perfect vision for
the distant, the intermediate as well
as for nea It brings back to us those
happy days of childhood, when glasses
were not needed: it restores the sight
and gives pleasure and comfort nevei
before known with anv glass It is the
highest prie. lens thr world ha- .ver
known, but -i | s worth several time’

FORGER TRIES TO SAW OUT
OF JAIL WITH KNIFE BLADE
VALDOSTA. GA.. Aug. 12.—M. L.
Young, a Clinch county young man who
was convicted of forgery at the last
term of the superior court here, was
prevented by Jailer Lofton from saw
ing his way out of his cell. Young had
obtained a gapped knife blade w hich he
stuck into an improvised handle and
used as a saw. With this he had sawed
neatly half through the bar that heid
the cell door when the jailer discov
ered it. For two weeks Young had
been feigning insanity. The sheriff and
jailer thought for several days that he
was really crazy, but they became con
vinced that he was shamming when he
attempted to escape. Young was con
victed of forging cheeks on a local
bank.
