2 HMIttEKI PASTDR'S LABOR SHIM HOT Union Men and Their Families Will Spend Monday at Grant Park. Atlanta will enjoy its Labor day this year. Everything will bo closed M< n day except the parks and the workinc men will take a r- st. instead of parad ing under the sun which usually works overtime on Labor daj The churches will observe the day I by special services tomorrow, nearly all of the leading ministers having an- 1 nounced sermons bearing on the occa- I slon. The official Labor, day sermon will | be delivered at the Harris Street Pres- ! j bytarian church by Rev. Jere A. .Moore, who will return from a vacation trip especially for the occasion. The union men and their families will hold their main celebration ar Gram park, where a big basket picnic will be held. There will be dancing, music, a baseball game and addresses by S. B. Marks, president of the state federation. Carl Karston. president of the Atlanta body, and Jerome Jones, editor of The Journal of Labor. City Hall To Be Closed. The city hall will be closed all day and the council meetings will be post poned until Tuesday afternoon, so (he mayor and council and all officehold ers can join the “hosts of labor at their picnic. The banks and most of the business houses will be closed all day. At the Piedmont park lake there will be a special exhibition of aquatic sports and it is expected that the larg est crowd which ever visited th'* swim ming pool will take a dip. “One Rast Day in Seven tor All Workers' will be the theme upon which Rev Jere A. Moore, pastor of the Har ris Street Presbyterian church, will speak tomorrow morning at the Laboi Sunday services Many other churches of various de nominations throughout the nation will take cognizance- of Labor day. which will be celebrated Monday, and the pastors will preach upon subjects con cerning organized working men. Offi cial Labor day services will be held in the Harris street church, following a custom of the Atlanta laboring me n in choosing a particular church each year for holding special services A special program following that outlined by the federal t ouncil ot Churches of t’hri.-t in America will be carried out under the. direction of < >. ’ . Johnson, chairman of the committee Many Work Seven Days. Statistics have been gathered tn the past few weeks by the. pastor of Har ris street church, which show that in America more than 4.000.0Q0 men, wom en and children have no rest on any day In the week. In the South this tendency is particularly strong, and the pastor will make thi- a pait of his address Among the toilers in mills and facto ries, among the drug and soda clerks and railroad switchmen this regular seven days to the week is carried out, according to his statistics. The meeting Sunday, it Is believed, will start an agitation among the At lanta laboring m"n to give every work ing man one clay of rest in the week. The laboring men prefer that this day should be Sunday, but Insist that all men should have- one day of rest. Rev E. Dean Elh-nwood. pastor of the Firs: I’niversallst church, who has sj-ent the summer in Chicago univer sity studying labor conditions in this country as a part of his course, will make Labor day services the feature of his church worship Sunday morning. He will read Kipling’s poem, “The Sons of Martha,'' and will make the subject of his sermon ''Honoring the S’ms of Martha " Engineer To Be a Speaker. The value" of organized labor to the w orld has impre ssed itself more strong ly to me as I have been giving it study,'' says Mr. Ellinwood. “and I be lieve that the wot king men’s unions are stronger today than ever before." What the Laboring Man Owes to the Church" and “What the Church Owe- to the Laboring Man" will be the sublets of addies.ses Sunday morning at Grace Methodist ■ hurch. D. J. Fant, a locomotive' engineer, will be the first speaker ami J T. Derry, as sistant commissioner of commerce and labor will bi the second. Hon. Walter McElreatb will discuss the labor laws of Georgia The evening service at Gordon Street Baptist church will be devoted,to rec ognition of Labor day. and the pastor Rev. William M Sentell. who has re cently returned from bis vacation, wil speak on an appropriate subject. In many other churches where the subject of organized labor is not the feature of the sermon, piaster- have an nounced that they will give part o their time to th. question of the need: and purpio-.s of the laboring man ant his family.

It's .just a freak of the camera—or the unregenerate camera man— aceentuating certain of the officer’s “lines.’’ as the fashion i magazines say. But—and this is the point—if Patrolman Tay i lor was as buxom as this, he'd still be a good policeman, accord ing to ( hies Beavers, who says brains and conscientiousness— not weight or form—are what count in the making of a guar dian of the law. Taylor has been on the force *25 years, and ; is said to have a record of not missing a day. He knows hun i dreds of the state’s host known men. The fit poller-man has found an en thnsia-tle defender. He is Police t'hief Beavers, who has on his payroll the names of numerous corpulent club swingers men wfio would make good anywhere in the world except in a dime nfuseum as the “living skeleton." > The chief unhesitatingly declares that avoirdupnis doesn't discredit a po i llceman in the least tilt this same Ihtjory, lie says that a pair of speedy legfc aro not the only qualification for a good policeman by any means. ; In other words. Chief Beavers asserts that a fat man is competent as a po liceman ttpd that he can make good. . The fact of whether he is a heavy r weight, or whethc he be a typical Slim James, cuts no figure. "Neither fat nor lack of fat ever made a good policeman." says the po lice head. Then, Fat Persons Are Jolly. A good, steady nerve, level-headed ncs--. intelligence, good judgment and I discretion, and politeness are some of the things that figure far stronger in f the make-up of a good policeman than < the mere quantity of tlesh that he may . carry about, is the opinion of the chief. 5 A han policeman with a pair of legs i 1 that could easij win in a race against I f an automobile or a railroad train, but who lacks these other qualifications, he >avs, wouldn't make good as an ofiieer. Another strong point in favor of the p fat policeman is also advanced by the chief. As fat people are always consid ered jolly and good natured, the chief p says the fat policeman Is likely to pos sess more of the milk of human klnd ( ni'ss than will be found in a slim officer. "We all know that fat people are lovlal and kind, and this holds good with tlie fat policeman," he said. Thi> attitude of the chief will come as a soothing tonic to Atlanta's many hefty wearers of the brass buttons and will calm anv possible fears thev mnv have that possibly their ext raordinari'.y SAVED PENNIES TWO YEARS I TO GET MARRIAGE LICENSE INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 31 -"Charles and 1 each saved one penny a week for . two years during our engagement, with r. which to bu\ the marriage license," said Mirs Muriel Poe, 25 years old. as 11 she handed Louis Koerner, marriage license clerk in the court house, a ' > handful of 208 copper cents. !

This is for the special benefit of any of the fleshy ones who perchance may be indulging in anti-fat. Denver Takes Clubs From "Cops." The defense by t'hief Beavers of the fat policeman is of particular interest just at this time, from the fact that out in Denver such officers have been put under the ban. It has been decreed that the official ax shall descend on their double chin and sever the head. They've "got it In" for the fat police man out in the Colorado metropolis ami his reign is at an end. A movement, labeled reform, has been started in the police department there, and has resulted in a tequest for the resignations of all fat men on the force. And not only this, but the re formers have decreed that Denver po licemen shall never more carry clubs, arguing that dubs are a great source of brutality. t'hief Boavers also takes issue with i the club reform, characterizing it as "absurd." i'ho idea of putting an officer on the streets to combat criminals and thugs with only his bare hands to defend him self Is nothing short of silly and ab- I surd." says the chief. "Such a move | will have a tendency to make criminals and the tough element worse and more daring. They know they will not he clubbed and will lose no opportunity to assault and beat an.v policeman who may attempt to arrest them. A club is solely for the defense and protection of an officer. He is expected to use it ohly in an emergency, and I think it is wrong to deprive hint of it. “We will not stand for any brutality on the part of a policeman heie in At lanta. and the members of the force know this. As a result, they are care ful as to the use of the club. But to take an officer's club from him is plac ing him in serious jeopardy. They ar in enough danger as it is. without in creasing their chances of getting hurt."

Aug. 31.—While the Nicaraguan situation as viewed by state I department officials' is by far the most I serious foreign problem with which the ' present administration has to deal, it i became apparent today that there, are at least four other Central and South ; American questions which are vexing American diplomats and threaten to develop into a crisis which will test the resources of the United States to deal ; with. The first and most important of these other Latin-American problems is the Mexican situation. Seemingly closed j by the defeat of Orozco in northern Mexico ten days ago, the increased ac tivity of the rebels along the Arizona and New Mexico frontiers is such that war department officials expect at least two more regiments to be introduced to the border. These are the Thirteenth cavalry at Fort Riley. Kansas, and the Ninth cavalry at Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming. With these two forces avail able, the United States would have the situation well in hand. Without them the rebels will continue their raiding of ranches and stealing of cattle be- j cause of lack of sufficient protection to 2,000 miles along the border. Cuba in Limelight Again. I Cuba, quiescent for three months, has again come into prominence because of j her practical refusal to punish Enrique < Maza, the journalist who assaulted Hugh Gibson. American charge d’af faires at Havana, on Tuesday night. The state department has formally de manded Maza's rearrest and punish ment, and if this is not forthcoming it will personally undertake to gain I reparation through an indemnity from 'the Cuban government for injury to the American diplomat. The Panama situation growing out of the demand of Minister Dodge for . the resignation of the chief of police, and his assistant because he accuses the pair of graft and of facing to pro tect Americans in Panama City, ap peared to be more acute today. The chief of police has resigned, but his assistant is still in office and the Pan ama government is showing symptoms of supporting him against the United States. Honduras Threatening. The state department will find itself with another troublesome administra tion on its hands. Honduras, the hot bed of Central American revolutions, is the fifth seat of rebellion which local diplomats set themselves to watch to day. After the Mena revolt in Nicaragua, Honduras appears on the verge of open outbreak and the United States may be forced to send marines there to guard American property. British Subjects in Danger. Following the receipt of a dispatch from Minister Weitzel at Managua, giving a text of a communication from the Biitish consul general at that point to the home office at London, where it is stated that the British subjecs at Matagalpa and other points are in dan ger of being massacred, the state de partment today authorized Rear Ad mit al Southerland, in command of the military forces at Corinto, to send ma rines to Matagalpa at once. Minister Weitzel's dispatch, which was delayed several days in transmis sion. said the British consul general was considering appealing for aid from London. DENIEsThe RODE WITH MILKMAN ON HIS CART NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—Declaring that the statements she drank to ex cess and took an early morning ride ' with an Italian milkman were untrue, ' Mrs. Irma Blanche Wright Heims, j granddaughter of a former justice of the Ohio supreme court, today an ■ nounced that she had appealed against s the decree of divorce granted in Bos ton to her husband, Dr. Henry Francis Heims, once dentist to the king of Italy. "I don't care to live with Dr. Heims again, for we were incompatible, but I > have appealed this case to defend my rt putation,” Mrs. Heims said. "These ( charges against me are all untrue."

When, on the face of the late elec | tion returns, it looked as if the judge had put one over on his adversary, Pottle, of the court of appeals bench. Decatur street heaved a sigh of relief land from its left ear to its right spread | a grin that was child-like and bland. Even when the first news was shown to have been premature, and it became certain that Broyles had not defeated Pottle, but had tied him merely, De catur street, while visibly disappoint ed. still did not relapse at once into despair. It thought “Jedge Briles” would yet get away with the bacon somehow—he always has, so far as Decatur street knew. But now that the state convention is over and Pottle has been awarded the plum Decatur street had figured to be Broyles' very own, Decatur street is down in the mouth again, and all the world is dark and dreary. Vanished are the exultant and all too pleasing Joys of yesterday! ISPENDER DIES OF “OLD IGF IT 26 Irving Childs Spent His Last: $600,000 in Two Years on Broadway. NEW YORK, Aug. 31. —Irving W < hilds, one of the most spectacular spenders along the Great White Way, is dead of "old age" at the age of 26. In I two years Childs squandered $600,000 on actresses and other women who fre quent the resorts in the “lobster belt." Broadway habitues mourned today over the passing of Childs, because his death removed one of the most spectac ular characters who ever burned up a I fortune. Although the young-old mar, died on \\ ednesday at the Neurological hospital, news of his demise was not made known until today. Until he be came ill several months ago Childs lived at the Hotel Rector. The youthful spendthrift was a son of the late William H. Childs, who left a big fortune. Young Childs soon ran through the legacy which fell to him and within a few years was penniless. Then another slice —this time $600,000 came to him. It took less than two years for this amount to go, Childs spent practically all his time , among the white lights. He was mar ried. but divorced from his wife. The trial furnished much gossip and threw considerable light on the habits of the Broadway spender. At the time of his death Childs was paying his wife S2OO a week alimony.

LAND MBERS MENACING CHINA Great Britain and Russia Al ready Have Shown Hands, and Japan Schemes. TOKIO, Aug. 31.—Land grabbing by the powers in China is the newest and most dangerous menace which con fronts the republican government at Pekin. Cabled advices received here today from Pekin say President Yuan Shai Kai is cognizant of the danger, but is believed to be unable to avert it. Great Britain's hand was shown by the declaration of recognition in behalf of Thibet's independence. The British government made this move when China sent an army’ into Thibet to over throw the Thibetan government set up at the same time China threw off the Manchuria yoke. Russia has tak« n similar action in regard to Mongolia. In fact, Russia has gone further than Great Britain by an nouncing the Muscovite government will not tolerate any attempt on the part of China to overthrow the auton omy of Mongolia. Japan Prepares To Act. Japan is expected to make a move in Manchuria soon. For nearly six months Japan has been massing troops in Korea, the excuse being that more sol diers were needed there for police pur poses due to Manchurian unrest. It is understood here that the Chi nese government has sounded France and Germany regarding their attitude on the partition of the empire. China wants to ally them against land grab bing. So serious has the situation become that a political party is being formed, the platform of which will be the re tention of the great dependencies which China owned before the revolution. The Manchurians secretly’ are fostering their party with an eye to future events. Manchu statesmen believe the party eventually may become powerful enough not only to control the govern ment but to reorganize il. TO RAGE FOR TINO PRIZES AT ONGE Famous Speed King to Com pete at Elgin Track in To day’s Program. ELGIN, ILL., Aug. 31.—Two races, in which fourteen big cars are en tered. run at the same time, many of the drivers running two races at one and the same time, was the program ottered today at Elgin, The two races, in which some of the best known driv ers of the country will take part, are the free-for-all, in which eight cars contend, and the Elgin National Watch Company’ trophy, with twelve cars in the running. The free-for-all, the event of the meet, requires 36 laps of the course. Os its eight cars only’ two that contest will not at the same time be running in the Elgin race, which cir cles the course 30 times. Six of the cars in the Elgin race wilt contest in that race alone. The starter’s bomb was to be fired at 1 o’clock. A car entered in both the races was to be sent away and then the others were expected to leave at fifteen-second intervals. Teddy Tetzlaff, the famous Los An geles driver, is out of today’s races. In a trial spin today he broke the trans mission gear of his big Fiat car and it was hopelessly* crippled. Tetzlaff was looked upon as the favorite in today's race. The cars and the drivers for the events follow: The Racers and Events.

The fact that Eddie Hearne was to drive in the race increased the enthu sias mos the speed fans. Hearne at the last moment decided to drive the big reserve Fiat that Teddy Tetzlaff brought to the track. The crowds today were bigger than yesterday. By daylight the roads lead ing to Elgin wore filled with automo biles on their way to the course and early estimates placed today’s throng at twice the size of that at the track during yesterday’s events. The course was in good condition today. Hurried work done to correct the weak spots found after yesterday's struggle was undertaken and today the course was pronounced in first-class condition for the heavier cars and fast er drivers. That records would be shattered was the forecast of a number of the drivers in the race. j SKIN DISEASE BECAN JS PISIPLES -♦ ■ On Face, Neck and Hands. Tor mented all the Time.

It was this way so bad for about six years and I tried everything that I could hear of, but nothing did any good. One day I found the Cuticura Soap and Ointment advertised and ordered some at once. I would wash my face good with the Cuticura Soap and then apply the Cuticura Ointment and they have cured me. It would take half a tablet to tell ail I suffered in those six years.” (Signed) Mrs. Della Hill, Jan. 3, 1912.
