OF OGLETHORPE
Men Resurrecting Old College
Will Name Date Tomorrow
for Corner Stone Laying.
On* 5 hundred men who gave SI,OOO
P ach to the new Oglethorpe university
fund will be among the guests at a din
ner at the Piedmont tomorrow night
>0 steps will be taken toward the
organization of the board of directors,
ei.' t tion of officers and arrangements
for a charter. The dinner will be a
notable gathering of Georgians con
nected with the ancient university and
t>- e new. and the guests will include
many of the most prominent men in
the state.
The date for laying the corner stone
of the new institution will be fixed at
this meeting, and the ceremony will be
perhaps the most peculiar in history,
x'>t only is the new university an iso
lated instance of the resurrection of an
ancient college, but the combination of
circumstances surrounding it is most
unusual.
All the alumni of old Oglethorpe
within reach will attend the dinner, and
t esc include the governor of the state
,md an ex-moderator of the Southern
Presbyterian assembly. One of the sen
ators from Georgia, Hoke Smith, is a
member of the board of incorporators
of the new university, while the other,
A 0. Bacon, is a direct descendent of
th.- founders of old Midway church,
which founded the old Oglethorpe. And
the ceremony of laying the corner stone
will take place during the great Pres
byte ian convention next May, when,
for the first time in history, all four
goat assemblies of the denomination
will met at the same time and in the
same city. The four moderators of the
four bodies of this Pan-Presbyterian
gathering will have a prominent part
in the ceremonies.
Next P’-esident "Oglethorpe Child.”
It is pointed out that the next presi
dent of the United States, who will be
in office then, will almost certainly be
a 'child of Oglethorpe." Woodrow
Wilson is a nephew of Dr. James Wood
row. for years a professor in old Ogle
thorpe. and Theodore Roosevelt is a
descendant of many Georgians who
sleep beneath the sod of old Midway
church .nd It is the desire of the
new board to have the new chief exec
utive take part in the corner stone cer
emony.

URGES SCHOOL IN
DETENTION HOME
Probation Officer Says Court
of Correction's Work Would
Be Much More Effective.
That the preventive work of the
childrens division of superior court
could be made more effective if the
board of education provided teachers
for the waywards housed at the Cen
tral avenue detention home was the
assertion made today by W. W. Tin
dall, the court’s chief probation officer.
"Because we have no way of in
structing children held at the detention
home,” he said, “we are often obliged
to strain a point and let them go back
to their parents. As a result we often
miss the most important features of
the case.
“If a school were established the
children could be studied and the exact
trouble determined. This court could
accomplish much more than it does."
In a report to the board of education
recently Superintendent of Schools W.
M. Slaton recommended a school for
incorrigibles to be operated by the city
system.
As a result <>£ peculiar legislation tlu
children court is a sort of hybrid af
fair. As an adjunct to the superior
court it is a state tribunal, with the
county paying he expenses ?f its offi
cials. By an arrangement between the
city and the county the city details two
police officers for service at the deten
tion home. The county would have to
make a new arrangement before the
eit> would supply a teacher for deten
tion work.

THE A'TL ANT A GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 16. 1912
Remarkable Feat Is Accom
plished While Dashing Thro’
Air at Chicago.
Taking pictures of Vedrines. winner
of the International Aviation Trophy,
as he sped around the course at more
than 100 miles an hour, was the re
markable feat accomplished by a Chi
cago photographer while seated in a
Wright biplane traveling above the
Vedrines monoplane at 42 miles an
hour.
Vedrines. who won his laurels two
years ago, when he was the first to
cover the course in the Paris-Madrid
race, used a Provost machine, develop,
ing 140 horsepower, and at times at
taining the unprecedented speed of 120
miles an hour. As his machine circled
the triangular-shaped course at Clear
ing. near Chicago, it appeared as a
white streak, spouting flame and leav
ing a trail of smoke in its wake.
The photographer, seated beside Max
Lillie in a Wright machine. soared
above the field, keeping well out of the
path of Vedrines as the intrepid
Frenchman’s monoplane shot arouno
the course.
At no time did the Wright machine
exceed a speed of 50 miles an hour and
this rate seemed a snail’s pace when
Vedrines shot by. Once, when directly
above Vedrines, the photographer
snapped his camera and again when
the Provost machine, tilted at an angle
of 45 degrees, cut through the air at
the stake post. The gasoline smoke
was issuing from the panting engine of
the Prevost machine in such volume
that the camera had no difficulty in
photographing it.
Vedrines' Remarkable Time.
Vedrines’ official time for covering
the 23 laps of the course of 124.8 miles
was one hour ten minutes and 56.85
seconds. Prevost and Frey, the only
competitors to complete the course, fin
ished in one hour, fifteen minutes and
25.75 seconds, and one hour. twelve
minutes and 13.70 seconds, respectively.
Lillie, from whose machine the camera
man obtained his pictures, was the
only American aviator to complete. He
made six laps of the course in 28 min
utes and 41 seconds.
The first to attempt the course was
Vedrines. There w as no formality about
his start. He had ascended, and was
half around the course, before the huge
crowd of spectators was actually aware
that the race was on Before he had
completed the first lap his machine was
traveling at its maximum rate of speed.
He flew so low that he was scarcely
above the line of steel pylons marking
th" course, and at times he went so
close to tiie structures in passing them
that the wings of his machine seemed
to brush the ftame-work.
Other Frenchmen in Air, Too.
It was evident tltat he did not intend
to cover a greater distance than was
absolutely necessary. Prevost and
Frey quickly shot into the air with
their machines, and followed in the
close-clipped path set down by Ve
drines.
Though driving a machine of 40 less
horsepower than that of Vedrines. Pre
vost drove a pretty race. Several times
it seemed that he would win out over
his competitor. Frey soon dropped be
hind, ami after the first few laps was
not a serious contender.
On the twelfth lap. with the race half
finished. Prevost was but ten seconds
behind Vedrines and appeared to be
gaining at every lap. It was a nerve
racking moment for the thousands of
spectators, and no more thrilling sight
was ever witnessed.
By the fifteenth lay Vedrines had
gained a lead of 32 seconds over Pre
vost. During the remainder of the race
In increased this gap until the last lap
was completed, when the Judges an
nounced that he had beaten hi- fellow
eountrym.tn by more than five minutes.

TARIFF EXHIBIT SHOWS
U, S. GOODS COST LESS
ABROAD THAN AT HOME
NEW YORK, Sept. trt. New Vol'll
has found a new center of interest ir
the tariff exhibit which was forma lit
dedicated by Governor Wilson.
Meetings are held practically evert
hour from early morning until. 10 o'clock
at night, and there are thousands of
people who are inspecting the educa
tional exhibits and paying extra close
attention to the corps of speakers.
The public is shown how much
cheaper household goods would be if
protection were cut off. and the trusts
are shown as the chief beneficiaries of
the present tariff system.
In the window of the exhibit are in
stalled six fat porkers, all alive. Each
of these pigs is labeled with one of the
following appellations: Sugar Trust.
Woolen Trust, Match Trust, Steel Trust,
Harvester Truer and Thread Trust.
New features are to be introduced
into the exhibition every day.
Idea Is Woman's.
Every Friday will he ladles day. and
next Friday at noon Mrs. .T. Borden
Harriman will be the speaker. It. is
only fair that the Democrats should
give a day a week to women, because
it was a woman who conceived the idea
of the exhibit.
The credit is due to the wife of Con
gressman .lames 1,. Slayden, of San
Antonio. Texas. Last spring Mrs.
Slayden had occasion to buy a sewing
machine of American make in San An
tonio. Some time later, while traveling
in Mexico, she found she could buy the
same machine there for 40 per cent
less. Then she discussed the matter
with her husband and learned that the
trusts exported their goods to foreign
countries, where there was competi
tion. for less money than they demand
ed for them here at home.
“Why don't you get up an exhibit and
show that?” said Mrs. Siayden. “You'll
have half the housewives in America
preaching Democracy from the house
tops."
Colonel Blows Hot Air.
So the idea of the exhibit was grad
ually evolved. It has many attractions
I’nder a tent there is a “Tariff Mis
fortune Teller.' who will explain the
"tariff misfortunes" to any one who
wants to hear them. You can find out
there Just what you would have to pay
for any article if there were no protec
tive tariff.
There is a group of three wax fig
ures against one wall. <me of them
represents the capitalist, "this man
gets it:" another the workingman,
“this man pays it," and the third.
Colonel Roosevelt, blowing hot air
through a tube. A placard makes him
say: “What in blazes ails titat pay en
velope—l'm blowing as hard as ever .’"
A group of small balloons repre
sents the "fragrant fragments of the
Tobacco Trust." This is also a symbol
ic group. In another place a live horse
will work at a treadmill. He is Just
out of reach of the fodder which he
continually strives to git Doesn't
have horse setup- " reads the placard.
“Neither do you if you keep yourself
on the protection treadmill any longer."
Another plaiard Informs tie public
that thi Deinocratli party t ikes good
care of this linrse
Famous Cartoons Shown.
There hu cartoons on the walls by
all Hu- famous New York . arto.misi-
They uie the original diawmg oi Hie
cartoons which have appeared in va
rious newspapers lately. There are
quotations from Roosevelt and refuta
tions by Woodrow Wilson, and all sorts
jof tables, statements and even epi
j grams, such as the following:
"The tariff is not a stimulus, but a
sterilizer.”
“The threat to reduce wages if the
| tariff is lowered Is the hallmark of ig
norant management.”
One of the crowning features of the
I exhibit is a home in w hich several
rooms ire represented. In each room
the articles tire labeled with the prices
paid for them by the exhibit commis
sion and the amount they would cost
if there were no tariff. For instance,
the placard on the dining room chairs
reads as follows:
Cheaper Abroad Than Here,
“For these dining room chairs we
paid here $6. The duty Is 35 per cent
of tiie value. That is the reason we
paid so much."
I he duty on household goods varies
between 35 per cent and 60 per cent; on
clothes between 55 per cent and 90 per
cent. A sewing machine is exhibited
with the receipted bill showing the
amount paid for It by the exhibit com
mittee. The placard reads:
“This sewing machine costs In New
York S3O. It is offered for export at
$18.6,2. The foreign dealers can add
33 1-3 per cent io cover charges and
profit and sell In England or Holland
for $24.83. Shoes are shown for which
$3.85 was paid in Calcutta and a du
plicate pair for which $5 was paid in
New York. There is a typewriter for
which sl*o was paid. Tiie export price
is given at $55. A cigar is exhibited
which cost 15 cents In New York, and
w hich is sold for 7 cents in Gibraltar."
Dress Goods, Too.
One of the most interesting features
of the exhibit is a dress which Is pla
carded as follows:
“The cloth In this dress was secured
from the agent for Senator Llppett’s
mills. This cloth matches Tariff Board
Sample 129.
"Senator Lippett want>l more ’pro
tection’ of this cloth, ami so the duty
was increased from 35 per cent on the
value under the Dlnglej bill to 51.42
under the Payne-Aldrich bill.
“This cloth retails at 17 cents In Eng
land.
“This cloth retails at 25 cents in the
United States.
"For a dress like this: t
"Cost of 11 yards in United States is
J- <5. \
' ost of 11 yards in England is $1.87."
