WEATHER CHIEF IS
HERE TO SEE AIDS
Plans discussed by weather experts
i holding a convention today at the
1 Georgian T 1 Trace are expected to be of
i materia 1 benefit to the farmers of the
i United States.
The experts, fourteen in number, are
i thoroughly in earnest, and most of them
have ideas which will prove most val
uable if carried out. Every one of
them is pushing his plan, too, and it
now seems that there will be at least
fourteen new ways to help the farmer
| —and also the agricultural output—by
the time the convention is over.
Professor Willis L. Moore, head of
the weather bureau of the United
States, arrived in Atlanta at 11 o’clock
today and went immediately to the ho
tel where the convention is being held.
This afternoon ho will address the
i chiefs of prominent weather sub-sta
tions throughout the Southern and
Central states, who are attending the
convention.
Urge Use of Bulletins,
Just what Professor Moore’s theme
will be is not known, nor will he tell.
He said that he expected to make a
speech before the convention of repre
sentatives of agricultural colleges be
fore he left Atlanta, and it is probable
that the question of co-operation be
tween the weather bureau and farmer
will be thoroughly discussed.
The weather delegates this morning
unanimously passed a resolution ask
ing Professor Moore to return to the
use of agricultural bulletins, which
formerly were sent to farmers almost
everywhere by the department. This
was discontinued several years ago,
but the experts believe that it will be
of great assistance in the co-operative
work of the department. Congressman
Dudley M. Hughes made a short talk
yesterday afternoon mi this question,
and his remarks led to the passage of
the resolution.
Among the delegates attending the
convention ate Professor Moore. Pro
fessor Henry J. Cox, head of the Chi
cago bureau; Professor .1. Warren
Smith, of the Columbus bureau; Chief
!•’. J. Walz, of Louisville, Ky.; Chief
Dr. Isaac M. Cline, of New Orleans;
i , j,. t - t_. a. I Jenson, of Raleigh, X’. 1

Chief Thorp B. Jennings, of Topeka.
Kans.: Chief A. J. Mitchell, of Jack
sonville: Chief H. G. Purcell, of St.
Paul; Chief John W. Smith, of Bos
ton- Chief Alfred 11. Thiessen, of Salt
Lake City; Chief Harry O. Gerven, of
Columbia, and Chief Patrick H. Smyth,
of Montgomery.

THE ATLANTA GEORdTAX A XT) NT/WS. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 13, 1912
Atlanta Association Has So
ciologists Who Are Aiding
Work for Wniter Help.
If the officers of the Associated Char
ities and the Atlanta Ad Men, who are
trying to aid them, accomplish their
desires, their Thanksgiving day will be
a real one, with the satisfaction that
comes, from helping the other fellow.
For the charities are trying to raise
$3,000 by Thanksgiving day toward the
support of the charities, and that
amount of money would go a long way
in relieving the troubles of the poor.
Coliege-bred girls who have left
Greek and mathematics to learn how
the other half lives and help bring the
upper and lower halves closer together
are the workers of the Atlanta chari
ties, and they are putting their whole
souls into their work. Charity workers
have learned that a woman can find her
way into the confidence of another
woman far more readily than a man,
and it is among women and children
that, a large share of the work must be
done. So the association has built up
a working staff of young women who
ire rapidly becoming expert sociolo
gists.
Miss Edith Thomson is a graduate of
Agnes Scott and a post-graduate of
Columbia. Miss Jeannette Why is a
Vassar girl. Miss Lottie Ramspeck
studied at Agnes Scott. Miss Minnie
VanEpps is a graduate of the Atlanta
High school. Mrs. Lola Becker came
from a Western college, and Joseph C.
Logan, secretary and principal worker
of the organization, holds degrees fro.m
Roanoke and Columbia.
Just now the charities are at their
busiest, for the cold weather is ap
proaching, and with It the annual in
crease in suffering among the poor.
More than a hundred Ad Men will
meet lor a supper next Monday night,
when final arrangements will be made
for the campaign. » This meeting was
decided upon at a luncheon yesterday
afternoon at which 50 Ad Men pledged
active work. The headquarters of the
Thanksgiving campaign at 122 Peach
tree street are already busy with so
licitors and committee members.
At a meeting of the central commit
tee of the Ad club in charge of the
Thanksgiving week campaign in be
half of the Associated Charities, held
Wednesday morning at the Ad .Men’s
it was decided that the
campaign for funds on the three days
preceding turkey day be undertaken by
a number of teams, under capable
leaders. According to the present out
look-, the Ad club will have over one
hundred workers in the field during the
active campaign.
The first big gun of the Ad Men’s
campaign will be fired next Monday
evening, when the workers will gather
for a supper at 6 o’clock in Durand’s
restaurant for the purpose of discuss
ing the final plans for the canvass.

VAUDEVILLE AT GRAND
IS DRAWING CROWDS
The hits this week are being scored at
the Grand by Henry E. Dixey, the famous
actor in his mono-drama-vaud-ologue:
Olive Briscoe, the singing comedienne,
who is clever as a monologuist; Laugh
lin's comedy dogs, the best act. of its
sort that has been seen here and the
wonderful Jungmann Family who perforin
stunts on the tight wire that send thrills
racing all over a being. For next week
Eddie Leonard anil Mabel Bussell will
be among the features. Eddie Leonard
is one of the greatest minstrel stars the
progressive profession lias known and his
pretty partner is a valuable helpmate.
Another great act will be Daniel Froh
man's dramatic treat, “Detective Keen,”
said to be the best thriller in vaudeville.
EMMA BUNTING IS POPULAR
IN “THE WISHING RING”
At the Forsyth this week little Emma
Bunting is making her sixth week of con
stant success the banner week of the win
ter season. In “The Wishing Ring" the
dainty star lias a character part that
suits her better than anything she has
done this season.
"The Wishing King" is a splendid en
tertainment. It gives Miss Bunting the
part that has created so much interest
and George Whitaker a romantic lead
that heyliandles well.
"The Two Orphans" will be the bill for
the next week and already there is an in
terest that means crowded houses all the
week.
"THE WINNING WIDOW” IS
POPULAR AT THE LYRIC
Patrons of the Lyric are enjoying a
real treat in the engagement of "The
Winning Widow" this week. There Is
just enough of a plot to keep interest,
and the songs are all of the variety that
stick in the memory. “Eevrybody Loves
a Chicken,” "Buzzing Bee." “Circus
Day," "You’re My Baby" all strike the
popular fancy. Fun and melody start I
with the rise of the curtain and arc there I
at the close, abundant and spontaneous.
