i Atlanta Elite Seizes
Turkey Trot to Break
Monotony of Dances
Step, Barred By Many, Features
Affair at Ultra Fashionable
Driving Club.
Atlanta's socially elite have adopted
the turkey trot as their own. The
dance, barred by so many fashionable
resorts and clubs, has found true ex
pression at the exclusive and ultra
fashionable Piedmont Driving club.
At the dance Saturday night, the first
big dinner-dance of the season, the tur
key not was given its first real tryout
in Atlanta. It was danced by all. from
the stately matrons and men of affairs
to the season's debutantes and the boys
| just out of college.
i They all like it. Sticklers for the
I proper declare it is wholly refined.
Just now the big question is whether
’the turkey tret shall be permitted at
the debutante bails. Mothers are put
ting their heads together and it inay oe
that Atlanta will see the gayest social
season of its history, with the turkey
trot ti.i real daiiei and the waltz and
the two-step sandwiched in merely, for
variety.
.'. big dance is already planned for
Halloween night at the Brookhaven
club, when all can dance the turkey
erot to their hearts’, content. Social
say they believe the dance will
be adopted by the Capital City and
the Athleti) chibs by the beginning of
another season.
CITY GETS BUSY ON
SEWER WORK; INSIST
ON BOND FORFITURES
As a foie tinner of the rigid investi
gatinn of tilt city construction depart
ment by the special committee of ten of
council tomorrow afternoon, the sewn
committee of council met this after
noon to take up the matter of delayed
sewer contracts.
The committee will probably be forced
io stop th) laying of lateral sewers,
I though Chairman Aldine Chambers said
he wants the wo k to go on if possible.
The law provides that no new servers
shall be authorized after October 1.
While sufficient work has already been
authorized fb keep the J. B. McCrary
Company , the contractor, busy until the
I first of the y ear, the company is losing
I money on the contract and insists that
I the otdinances authorizing sewers not
I yet begun be repealed
The city could require a forfeiture of
j the bond of the company if al) work
already passed up by council is not
completed, except that, there are a
number of serious complaints against
the engineering methods of the con
struction department.
These charges have not beet) made
public, but will be investigated by the
special committee, which begins its ses

Christmas.
The afternoon rehearsals are given
over to the drilling of children, who
will take part in some of the most
brilliant numbers. The grownups who
will appear in dances from the classic
operas are being drilled at night.
Perhaps the most striking feature of
the Kirmess will be the dances figured
in by members of the younger society
set. At least a score of Atlanta buds
are daily rehearsing a number of pic

Pretty Fifteen-Year-Old Adele
Barham Runs Away When Fos
ter Parent Starts to Atlanta.
RICHMOND. VA.. Oct 21— Pretty
fifteen-year-old Adele Barham, adopt
ed daughter of J. W. Glasco. Jr., clerk
in the stationery department of the
Southern railway, refused positively to
accompany Glasco and his wife when
they set out for Atlanta last night to
make that city I heir future home.
Along with other members of this
depa tniettt whose quarters were re
cently transferred from Richmond to
Atlanta, Glasco began preparations
Saturday for the trip to the Gate City-
While he and his wife were busily
engaged packing their trunks. Miss
Barham disappeared from home, taking
some of het effects with her in a suit-
Missing her soon afterward, Glasco,
suspecting that Cupid was at work,
rushed down to the marriage clerk's
office at the city hall.
"I want to stop a wedding if a girl
attempts to get married," he told Clerk
Walter Christian, nearly bteathless. "1
tm a. Southern railway clerk and 1 must
leave tomorrow night for Atlanta.”
"1 don’t quite grasp the situation,”
interposed Christian.
"In plain language." went on Glaseo,
I don't want a lieense issued to Adele
Barham, fifteen years old, my adopted
daughter.”
"Oh. I see," obse: veil the clerk. who
explained that no license bad been is
sued up to that time to the girl and
none would be without his consent.
Glasco then hurried to police head
quarters and asked that a search be
made for the. girl. Late Saturday night
she was located at the home of h rela
tive in South Richmond, and despite
the entreaties of Glasco and his wife,
refused to accompany them to Atlanta.
Glasco explained to the reporters that
the young man in whom the gi-| is in-,
lerested "wears knee pants and is the
veriest kind of a kid.”

Thp batt was placed on four locker clubs by the police

The organizations banned are:

Definite action on the application of
the new Press club and the Central
club was postponed for two weeks.
The action today was the first fruit
of a sweeping investigation by the po
lice department and followed the sub
mission of a lengthy report by Chief
Beavers to Chairman Humphrey, of the
police committee.
Anticipating the report of the police
committee of council today, the "IM"
was on tight yesterday and Atlantans
experienced the "dryest” Sunday they
have known since the early days of
prohibition.
They were prepared for it then, but

eral days ago and there was no unusual
observation going on yesterday.
Chairman W. G Humphrey, of the
police committee, has had Chief Beav
ers’ report in his pocket for several
days, guarding It closely. He called
his committee to order this afternoon
at 2 o’clock to vote on the clubs.
The members of the police committee
have given assurance that the real so
cial clubs of the city will not be dis
turbed. But they are under the Im
pression that a number of clubs are
merely barrooms run under the guise of
clubs for the profit of certain individ
uals. Chairman Humphrey said that
these he is determined to close.
The committee does not believe that
there is any violation of the law in the
many social clubs that have locker fea
tures. The committee and Chief Beav
ers have carefully investigated the
membership lists and the system by
which drinks are served In every one of
them.
"We have no intention of discrimi
nation between social locker clubs run
by prominent men and those run by
plain citizens,” said Chairman Hum
phrey. "Both have a right to exist
under the state and city laws. The
clubs run for individual profit are the
ones that are illegal."
The first locker clubs licensed in At
lanta were taxed by the city and run at
the discretion of council. Council at

club, now said to be reorganized under
another name, and this club appealed to
the state courts The city’s authority
was overruled.
