r. ,igning his office. Smoke Inspector
ycMlehael declared that he had been
'ffered a t«< al of s‘> Boo in bribes by
agents of smoke consumers to recom
mend their patents. He said that these
agents were insisting that eases be
nade against all violators of the smoke
ordinance, and that they were “holding
.. the owners of steam plants with
excessive charges.
•■I have yet to know of a single one of
these agents who would put up a surety
bond that his patent would do what he
claimed it would do,” said the inspec
tor.
His lesignation and startling; revela
tlons immediately followed a clash be
tween him and Commissioner J. N. Ren
froe. Commissioner Renfroe insisted
that cases should be made immediately
against all violators of the smoke law.
There is the McMillan smokeless
furnace and many other appliances that
will reduce the smoke. Let the owners
of these plants look around the city
and see what others have done to re
duce the smoke.” said Renfroe.
The commission then ordered cases j
made against the Candler building, Du
rards restaurant, on Edgewood ave
nue. and the Kimball house, if they
nave not complied with the law within
fifteen days.
Inspector McMichael made some crit
icism of the McMillan and other patent
processes.
You are prejudiced against the
James .McMillan furnace. You hail a
row with Mr. McMillan, didn’t you?”
asked Commissioner Renfroe.
Physical Clash Nearly Results.
Yes. I had a row with him.” said
Inspector McMichael. “He tried to slip
Ui- SSO in bills to recommend his plant
and I felt like kicking him out of my
Office."
“Why didn’t you report it?” retorted
Commissioner Renfroe.
I want to inform this commission
further,” continued Inspector McMich

between the McMillan company and
Mr. Renfroe’s business partner, ‘ ready
to be signed, to install McMillan fur

"That contract never was signed and

GEORGIA FURNISHES
U. S. NAVY WITH MANY
HOOKWORM VICTIMS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—Twenty
eight per cent of the men enlisted In
the United States navy during the last
year from Southern states had the
hookworm disease, according to the an
nual report of Surgeon General Stokes,
of the navy, issued today. Fifty per
cent of the affected men came from
Georgia and South Carolina.
A marked prevalence of hookworm
disease is noticed in Samoa, Guate
mala and the Philippine Islands. In
Guam and Samoa 90 per cent of the in
habitants have the hookworm disease,
and 50 per cent show marks of tuber
culosis.
Contagious diseases among United
States sailors have decreased during
the year, but mental affections have in
creased. A closer study of the mental
condition of the recruits at stations is
recommended. Because of the fatali
ties in the navy caused by drowning,
the surgeon general recommends a
compulsory course in swimming.

Cedar Chests for Gifts
\\ould you not like to receive one on Christmas morning?
So, doubtless would some one on your list.
They combine possibly every element that goes to make
a gift of good taste. They are elegant, highly serviceable, and
they need not be expensive.
For instance:
Here is a plain Shirtwaist Box at SB.OO.
A long copper-mounted Skirt Box at $13.50.
A Storage Chest, copper-mounted, medium size, at
$15.00.
A large, roomy Storage Chest, plain, at $17.00.
A plain Chest that seemingly would hold all one
eon Id store away, at $25.00.
Another of the same size, with panel sides, is $27.00.
A copper-mounted Chest, with heavv platform base,
is $27.00.
Another very large Chest, finished in copper, is
$32.00.
And all of these are the finest grade of cedar highly pol
ished, beautifully finished.
With these is a Japanese matting skirt box fitted with a
tray; it is priced at $7.50.

CHATTAHOOCHEE AND

being made for a big celebration of the
opening of the St. Andrews Bay canal in
1915, the celebration *.o begin in this city
and be concluded ‘.n Panama City, on the

ceed down the river, stopping at various
points where suitable programs will be
carried out. It is expected that the canal

Sweaters for Gifts
They Will Receive a Warm Welcome
If you would give a Sweater this Christmas, you may give
more than just a serviceable garment, for these in this holiday
display are unusually attractive.
They are novel in a great many respects—the stitchings of
the knitting are often new, so with the collars,, and the two-toned
effects, the reversible Sweaters, often a dark shade on one side,
a light one on the other.
We have done much on our part to make Sweaters choice
gifts this season. It is for you to select the one you like best.
Select it from these.
At $2.25, plain garter stitch sweaters with high roll storm collars,
in navy. red. gray. tan. black and white. At $2.95 is the same style in
a heavier weight, that those who are out of doors much will like better.
At $3.50, sweaters of fancy crosstitched lamb's wool yarn with high,
storm collar or V neck, patch pockets and close fitting band cuffs. In
colors and white. At $4.25, are sweaters of the same style. but of
heavy golf yarn, cable stitched.
At $5.00, sweaters- with high or low neck, broad braid stitched or
plain knit in maroon, brown and tan.
At $6.50, the new reversible sweaters in the new 4 ‘popconi’’—two-
toned—stitching. Very good looking. Many color combinations.
At $6.95, sweater coats, plain and Norfolk style, solid colors and
fancy stripes, patch pockets, regular coat collars and V necks, pearl
and crystal buttons.

And forY ou Who Will Give
Kimonos
Let us tell you what we have been told by disinterested women—
this is unquestionably the most elaborate display of kimonos in Atlan
ta. And it should be. When selecting them our buyer went to a maker
who has the happy faculty of doing things better than any of his com
petitors. j
His bump of originality must be splendidly developed. Until these
arrived we had never seen such kimonos, such novel effects, such col
orings. We refer to both the kimonos of the darker and more servicea
ble shades and to those of the lighter shades where much lace and ribbon
are used.
And there are so many of them and such a diversity! Materials are I
Cheney silks, soft, lustrous satins ami crepe de chines. Those of silk
and satin usually show great gorgeous flower patterns, although bor
dered effects are not uncommon. Those of crepe de chine—perhaps we
should call them boudoir robes—are decidedly Parisian with
plaited and tucked yokes, and empire styles with plain and accordion- •
plaited skirts. Some even have panniers, and more laces and ribbons
than you would suppose could bo put into one robe.
But this does not tell you what your eyes will show you—you must 1
see them. J
Those of Cheney silk are $4.50 and $5.00.
Those of satin and crepe de chine start at $6.00.
We Have Done This for
You This Christmas
More effectively than at any previous Christmas—we have made it
much easier for you to get choice little presents. We mean particularly
Handkerchiefs, Neck Fixings, Gloves
The Christmas Handkerchief stock ran be spoken of only in super
latives! And if we say much of them here we will be using only super
latives. when we would much prefer you to use your right and privilege
to compare them—price for price—with other handkerchiefs around
town.
The Gloves are only those that we have found to be best at their
price. 'l'he Solitaire at SLOO. in black, white and colors, knows no
equal, and so with other gloves at $1.50. $2.00, $2.50 and $3.00. If you
give gloves your best guarantee is to give Chamberlin- J o h n s o n-I) u-
Bo.se Company gloves.
The Neck Fixings. 'l’he great variety of novelties strikes you at
once. Ihe little bows, the jabots, the collars, the collar and cuff sets,
the fluffy ruffs are different —this because the new things arc new, but a
very short time in New York before they come to us.
