2 GAS M OF 0, S' GATHERING FOR CONVENTION Feature of Big Meeting Will Be Exhibition of Appliances at Auditorium. The men who have done morn, per haps, to throw light on various sub jects throughout the United States. Canada and Mexico than any other group of Americans, are arriving in Atlanta today for their national con vention. which opens at the Auditorium next Monday and lasts all the week. They are the gas makers of the coun try, the men who put ball bearings in the meters, the folk to whom living is a pipe. They are coming from as far West as San Francisco and as far East as Boston to discuss ways and means for inducing consumers to cook with gas, warm by gas. read by it, sleep by it, have teeth pulled by it. They are bitter rivals of the electric companies, it may be said, notwith standing the fact that 99 per cent of them also are the main works in their home electric plants. They expect to get together on a campaign which will make them rich as gas producers and break them as- electricity makers, thereby preserving the balance and re maining in comfortable circumstances. To Show Appliances. The convention is that of the Na tional Association of Commercial Gas Companies. Almost every city where there is a gas plant and a meter reader has a member. They come armed with j papers on chemistry, metallurgy am : engineering, besides several reports on the psychology of knowing how long i< wait before cutting off the gas of a d< llnquent consumer. But it won't be all convention. Th< biggest thing of the week to the aver age man or woman is the exposition of i gas appliances which hundreds of man ufacturers will have at the Auditorium The exhibits have been coming In by the carload for the past week a: d arc being installed in the Auditorium and connected to the miles of gas pipe which the local company put in to furnish the juice for the show. There are gas stoves Just the size for »a one-egg breakfast and on through the ordinary small family size up to a range which would furnish food for the con - | vention. There are gas irons, ready 10l press hubby's trousers while he waits in the bath room. There are gas heat ers for the bath, warranted to produce a tubful of boiling water while you dis robe. There are gas heaters which stay down in the basement-and send up hot water through pipes when you turn the spigot and wait awhile. Also Some Lamps. There are gas lamps with 756 kinds of incandescent mantles, each better than the other. There are gas lamps which stand straight up. upside down attd sidewise. And—these are for manufac turers’ interest only—there are gas me ters of a hundred types, all high-geared and well oiled, guaranteed to work day and night, whether in a union house hold or the home of a plutocrat. There are quarter-in-the-slot meters Ingeni ously devised to shut off the gas just ■when the visitor in the household has drawn his fourth ace and is ready to rake in the pot. For details of exhibit see catalogue. Officials of the Atlanta Gas Light Company are host* to the convention, and this company alone is spending thousands of its hard-earned dollars on entertainment and other expenses. Big pipes have been run above ground from the mains to the Auditorium, which formerly was lighted by electricity alone, and smaller pipes lead to every “ square yard in the great building, really to be tapped for various appa ratus. The amount of gas used next ■week will keep the company hustling, for the exposition will use as much as all the hotels, restaurants and public A buildings combined. The local com '\pnny and its officials plan a dozen din ners and a theater party at the Grand when the whole house will be reserved for the visitors. More than 1,500 dele gates are expected to be present by Monday. The exposition will not be open to the public every day. There will be days when only the manufacturers and dealers in gas fixtures and appliances will be admitted. For it is to them, rather than to the public, that the man- , ufacturers of appliances appeal. Nearly , every gas company in the country sells fittings and appliances in order to en courage heavier consumption of gas. DR. J. WADE CONKLING TALKS OF FIRE WORSHIP ■.

Mary Garden to Halt Feet of Time at 35 IDEAL AGE FOR WOMAN NEW YORK, Nov. 30.—Miss Mary Garden hasn't yet reached her age lim it, but site lias fixed it at thirty-tive. “When 1 am thirty-five I shall stick there to the end. That is the most glorious age of woman! The age of iter greatest beauty and worth —tile po tential age that holds in its grasp the mystery and charm of tile golden days of womanhood.” That’s the way the singer expressed it yesterday. And site said it with the intensity of expression that is one of her most admirable qualities. In her apartments in the Ritz Miss Garden talked freely. She has a vision as clear and steady as that of a man of medicine, and a wit so keen that she can dissect the foibles, the emo tions and the interests of woman with remarkable subtlety and taet. One would almost be tempted to say that if she put her mind to it Miss Garden could write a book that would 'be as vital as her own personality is in mod ern dramatic opera. Secret of Remaining Young. "Yes. 1 am firmly convinced the mote nearly I approach thirty-five,” she con tinued, “that it is the wonder age of woman. I believe, too, that if a wom an wants to be thirty-tive and stick there she can do it. I have begun to think of it already, and 1 expect to so impress it upon my own mind that thirty-live I shall be and thirty-five 1 shall remain. How long a woman ein remain in that wonderful time of het life depends entirely upon herself. She must concentrate upon her own charm. She must conserve and jealously guard all attacks upon her beautv. This etin only be done through her mentality, for no woman is really beautiful who has not lived through hr mind as well as through her senses. "Sensual beauty alone.” she contin ued, "has never sent a woman's name down the centuries; it has been the combination of mind beauty and phys ical charm, and 1 believe in that order —the mind first. So it's settled for me —1 am to be thirty-five, and after 1 reach that pinnacle I shall live so that , my life shall spread itself all about me I and give me the secret of all charm — poise.” , Her blue, blue eyrs narrowed down as they can, and closed as if this wom an whose whole life is dramatic was . content that she had solved thi ques tion of age for all time. The Right Men Not Yet Met'. "But of marriage what of that? • Have you changed your mind regard ing matrimony?” she was asked. “Yes and no," she replied, thought fully. “Sometimes it seems that my life may not be wholly complete, and again it seems too full to crowd any thing else into it. I can say that mar riage at this time in my career is a secondary thing. 1 am not husband hunting. On the other hand. I believe that 1 could and would be a wonderful wife if the man of my ideals houlil ap pear. "If this dream creature should ever appear 1 would give up all for him. He would have to be a man who real ized all that my life has been to me in its great moments, in its sotrows, its joys, it.s lights and shades, and then if THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 30, IPI-. I found that his intellect could grasp and appreciate all of this and that I found in him something superior to my understanding and in sympathy and in breadth and in depth of feeling I would turn over another page of this book called life and on a clean white page 1 should begin anew my life story. Dreams of an Outdoor Life. "But such a ‘paragon of animals’ may not appear, and besides I have made my plans, when my operatic career is at an t?nd, and, by the way, 1 shall discover that before the public does. These plans include a country place somewhere in lovely France, where I shall devote myself to the out-of-doors, to gardens, to animals. I shall have hosts of animals.” Miss Garden puts the most interest ing period in a man's life at between forty and fifty. RIVERS CONGRESS HOPES DEMOCRATS WILL BE LIBERAL WASHINGTON. Nov. 30.—“ We hope that congress will make the most lib eral appropriation for rivers and har bor- this year that has ever been made,” today -aid Representative Joseph E Ransdell. senator-elect from Louisiana P r< n ‘ of the National Rivers and Harbors congress, who has just arrived in Washington. "The needs of the country are so pressing that 1 shall urge that the ap propriation shall not be less than SSO - and we hope to have the river and harbor bill passed bv the Christmas holidays." This announcement bv Congressman Kans 101 l is expected to bring out fur " r support for a big appropriation bill Un- ''va. The rivers and harbors eon g 'ss meets here next week, incident to the opening of congress, and an effort will be made to induce the Democratic house to be unusually liberal. Meantime committee staffs are work ing at the eapitol on the preliminary draft of the rivers and harbors and public bill. Representative Shephard, of Texas, now senator-elect, chairman of the house committee on public buildings, said that his omnibus riieasure prob ably would be completed in the house in January, carrying more than $20,000,000, and that the senate was likely to pass it, w.th setetal millions of dollars added , There are upward of 750 bills pend ing foi the construction of individual buildings.

PUPILS 10 JOIII IN CORN PARADE Boys High. Tech and Georgia Academy Asked to Send Marching Delegations. Plans have been made to increase materially the extent of the Georgia Corn show parade on Friday, December 6. and it promises to be one of the most imposing Atlanta lias seen in recent years. All the boy scout organizations of Atlanta and vicinity, are invited espe cially by Captain W. H. Leahy, grand marshal, to pa ticipate in this parade and halt' a. dozen of these companies will be added to the 700 Georgia Corn club boys who will be here for the show. Secretary Cooper, of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, has addressed a letter to Superintendent W. M. Slaton, inviting him and the Boys High school to take part in the parade, and similar invitations have been extended to the Tech students through President K. G Matheson and to the cadets of the Georgia Military academy through Colonel J. C. Woodward. Parade to Start at 1 P. M. With these organizations in line, in addition to the governor and his staff and the Fifth infantry, it will be a pa rade well worth seeing. All organizations invited to take part in the parade are requested to report to the grand marshal, Captain Leahy, at the eapitol promptly at 1 o'clock on Friday, as the parade will move as soon thereafte- as possible. Captain Leahy also has requested that all scout masters and the heads of all organizations which will participate in the parade, communicate with him immediately at his office in the Georgia Railway and Power Company building, in order that- plans for the day may be fully perfected in advance. To Place Exhibits Monday. The corn show has brought about busy scenes at the eapitol. Many ex hibits already have arrived by express and now a;-e stored in the basement of the eapitol, where precautions have been taken to protect them from ro dents. Carpenters are building the ta bles upon which the exhibits of the corn clubs and the girls canning clubs will be displayed, also the tables for the big dinner which the Chamber of Commerce will give the 7'oo corn boy; who are on the roll of honor.

Rice, of Augusta, can not be here on account of a district corn show which will be held in that city at the same time. BANKER ENTERTAINS CABBY AND HIS BRIDE WITH TRIP TO PARES PARIS, Nov. 30.—Tarn McGrew, of the Franco-American bank, Place Ven dome and Honolulu, has demonstrated that he is the most accomplished host in Paris by reason of his having en tertained six most unsophisticated per sons from Lyons. McGrew recently inherited a handsome fortune and somewhat previously a lesser one from his wife, formerly Mrs. Scott Essex. Business took him to Lyons, where he was greatly delighted with the accom plishments of his cab driver. The lat ter, growing confidential, confided to McGrew that he was about to marry. "Very well," said the American, "bring your fiancee and friends up to Paris.” They came—the cab driver in a glazed hat, his fiancee, who was a pretty chambermaid; a garbage collec tor and his wife, who runs a hennery; a restaurant waiter and a young dress maker. Mr. McGrew hired a family automobile and all got into it. "Now, you are my guests," he said, and they were. He showed them all the sights, the music halls, and dined and wined them. A week passed and the cab driver and his fiancee were not mar ried. Finally Mr. McGrew succeeded in suspending the festivities until they went to the mayor’s office and the hap py pair were safely married. McGrew is now in a sanitarium recuperating. DR. DUNBAR OGDEN TO PREACH ON SIN’S WAGES Contrasting the different promises of reward held out to man. Dr. Dunbar Ogden will preach Sunday morning at the Central Presbyterian church on "The Wages of Sin vs. the Gift of God." He has just returned from Jack sonville, Fla., where he spoke before a union gathering of all the Protestant churches of Jacksonville. "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life," is the fa mous quotation from Romans on which the message will be founded. At the evening hour, 8 o'clock, Dr. Ogden will speak on "A Vision of Victory in tile Hour of Conflict.” MRS. R. J. SPRATLEY IS DEAD: ILL BUT HALF HOUR Half an hour after she was stricken with acute indigestion last night, Mrs. R. J. Spratley, aged 68 years, died at her home, 209 Ashby street. She had been perfectly well and her sudden death came as a great shock to her family and friends. She is survived by her husband, a son, Thomas C Spratley, of Memphis, and’ daughters, Mrs. j. w. Burnett Mi - W. H. Smith and Mrs. T. C. Per- I kins. ■SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS I- • By JAMES B . NEVIN. I The compilation of the national pres idential vote is approximately complete, and the results are most interesting, * JI and will settle a ■ few Georgia bets still unadjusted, even if it is spe : cifically and em phatically against the law to bet on elections in Geor gia. As indicated several weeks ago, the chief point of interest in the re turns is the falling off —the astonish ing falling off—of the vote this year as compared with the vote of four years ago. Wilson did not poll the Democratic Bryan vote of 1908, and the total Republican vote of Roose velt and Taft fell even shorter of the vote cast for Taft when Bryan and Taft 'were pitted against each other. Wilson’s total in the nation is 6,156,- 784. as against 6.393,182 for Bryan last time, which indicates that Bryan had 236,434 votes margin in 1908 over the total Democratic vote this year. Roosevelt and Taft together this year got 7,304.562, which is 333,114 less than Taft got last time. These figures show a total decrease in the vote this year of 569,584 in the two old parties! In the split of the Republican vote Roosevelt got 3,928,140, as against Taft's 3.376,422, which shows a difference of 521,718 in Roosevelt’s favor —much less than many persons thought the differ ence would be. Roosevelt and Taft together totalled 1,147,814 over Wilson, and that is about 100,000 less than Taft beat Bryan in 1908. Chafin, the Prohibitionist, got about the same vote nationally that he got last time, but Debs nearly doubled his vote—running this time interest ingly close to a round million in all! The figures carry various meanings, of course, as politicians analyze them according to their various shades of opinion. The strangest thing about it all is that the total vote, which should have run nearly 1.500,000 more this time than it did last —by reason of increased pop ulation—actually fell off half a million! When on January 1 Joe S. Reynolds, solicitor general of the Augusta cir-' cuit superior court, retires, one of the most popular as well as most efficient prosecuting attorneys in Georgia will have finished a fine term of service. Mr. Reynolds has been solicitor for twelve years—three full terms. Antici pating his retirement, the grand juries in every county in his circuit have passed highly complimentary resolu tions concerning him and the excellent work lie has done as solicitor. Mr. Reynolds retired voluntarily, as it is agreed in Augusta that he might have had the office again for the ask ing. He will be succeeded by A. L. Frank lin, who won out, after a hard fight, over I. S. Peebles and Wallace B. Pierce, both good men and amply quali fied for the office. Mr. Franklin is one of the younger members of the Augusta bar and has made a splendid record in the practice of his profession. M. L. Brittain, state superintendent of schools, is undertaking to standard ize the county schools in Georgia. This is a work cf a highly construc tive nature, and its consummation is very dear to the heart of the state school head. In a circular letter which he is send ing out, Mr. Brittain provides for both parents and school officials a test by which they can know whether their schools are doing the work which they and the state authorities have the right to expect for the money expended. ™ANNOUNCEMENT —— — I TAKE TIME BY I I THE FORELOCK I || Is your plumbing in K | condition to withstand 3 g , a freeze?

Crisp passed through Atlanta today on his way to Washington and the opening of the short session of the present con gress. _ . Mr. Crisp will not take his seat in the house until March 4, but from this time until then, he will continue his duties as house parliamentarian. Mr. Crisp, like most Democratic con gressmen nowadays, is very optimistic with respect to the outlook. He be lieves that the Democrats, by proceed ing sensibly, may hold the tort tor many years to come; and he believes, moreover, that they will proceed sanely. If there is any one thing that bothers Mr. Crisp at all, it Is the narrow margin of control by which the Democrats will prevail in the senate. "If we might transfer a portion of our big house majority—which really is bigger than it need be—to the senate, we should then be absolutely assured of working a Democratic administration all the way through,” said Mr. Crisp. "As it is. however, we shall, in all prob ability, be all right in the senate!” The Cordele Rambler has despaired, in a measure, of electing "a south Geor gia man” to the governorship and has transferred its hope to middle Georgia and Colonel Charles R. Pendleton. Significantly enough, The Rambler says: , It seems next to impossible to elect a man from south Georgia for governor. We would suggest that next we put a candidate in the field from Macon, which, though, in middle Georgia is really headquar ters for our section of the state. We believe Colonel Pendleton, editor of The Macon Telegraph, to be one of the very ablest men in the state. He has experience and learning—is both theoretical and practical; sane and conservative, while at the same time is progres sive and constructive. He is a man of whom we would all be proud to acknowledge as our governor. Colonel Pendleton has not sought office and is not a poli tician. but wouldn’t it be real re freshing to go out of tne ranks of politicians and select a real fine character like Colonel Pendleton for our standard-bearer? He is south Georgia’s hope. It likely would be impossible to get Colonel Pendleton into a race for gov ernor. but if he would agree to run. he would, indeed, make an ideal candidate. Not only would south Georgia* rally splendidly to him, but it is as sure as anything can be that a large part of north Georgia would be equally as en thusiastic. He has fought the battles of Democ racy—standing straight up all the time, too —in season and out, in good fortune and bad, and theie is. nothing he could accept that he would not richly deserve But when it comes to getting him to run —if The Rambler can put that over, its proposition will have been solved in its most difficult aspect. 3-COURSE MEAL FOR 5C DEMONSTRATED AT THE COOKING SHOW LONDON, Nov. 30. —Demonstrations on how to prepare, at a cost of only 25 cents, a meal for four persons, and a three-course meal at a cost of only 5 cents for one person are being given daily at the universal cooking and food exhibition, which is being held at the Horticultural hall.

It began as pimples and indeed it was disfiguring, for it would get in spots on my face and hands as large as a quarter of a dollar. It would get Intc blisters sometimes and I T rrv\ sure did suffer. My face burned 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 w Ointment advertised and ordered some at once. I would wash my face good wit I the Cuticura Soap and then apply th, Cuticura Ointment and they have cured me. It would take half a tablet to tell all I suffered in those six years.” (Signed Mrs. Della Hill, Jan. 3, 1912.
