SEAL SALE PACE
Pupils Take 8.000 Red Cross
Stamps and Promise to Dis
pose of More.
•
If all the schools of Atlanta did as
wall s the Girls High xehool in the
sale of Red Cross seals, the Atlanta
campaign would be solved without
going any further, according to back
era of the, movement today.
The Girls High school took SBO worth
of seals, or of them, and prorp- '
ised to come for more—at least up to I
SI 00.
There are 48 white schools in Atlanta
and 11 negio. It is a matter of simple
arithmetic to see how the scliools alone
dispose of the entire Atlanta is
sue of 500.000 seals. If all the schools
followed the pace set by the Girls High
school.
Some of the other schools, which took
them in smaller quantities, alreadv have
sent in orders of 2.500 more, finding
they 'Could do better than they first
thought. It begins to look as if the
schools might succeed in getting at
least half the total fund, or $2,500. for
open-air school work in Atlanta.
Mrs. F. G. Hodgson, chairman of the
Atlanta committee, has asked sot more
volunteers for the Red Gross sea] work.
Some thirty young women are engaged
in the campaign, but there is plenty to
do. and she Would like to have at least
twenty more, if they will report at
headquarters in the Atlanta Trust
building, telephone Ivy 804, and lend a
helping hand.

proves of this sort of holiday petition
more than he approves of petitions for

however, that a portion of the romantic
impression first made by the letter was
swept tway in part by the final declara
tion that his correspondent, after ail, is
looking for "a housekeeper" rather than
a true love and partner-in billing and
cooing.
Jesse Perry, the -overnor's private
secretary, thinks this correspondent
should be sent the money wherewith to
get his “Usance,” and that these Christ

should be brought immediately into
perfect holiday harmony.

DEUCE REPLACES TREY
IN TRIAL OF CHINESE
SEATTLE. WASH.. Dec. 11—The
substitution of a deuce of hearts for
the trey of hearts in the trial of See
Sing, accused of selling opium, led Po
lice Justice Fred C. Brown to take ju
dicial notice that tiie court had been
"cold-decked” and ask the prosecuting
attorney to investigate the disappear
ance of evidence.
The trey of hearts, containing on its
back opium alleged to have been sold
by See Sing to Aw Baron, was sent by
Hie court to tiie city chemist for analy
sis. The chemist reported it was not
opium, handing the card back to the
judge, who turned it over, to find that
one of tiie spots was missing.
The chemist -then remembered that
he had been visited by the attorney for
the defense while the card was in his
possession.

a photograph of Arthur‘Weddell sitting

which won for Opal Weddell, his wife,
a divorce in Judge Slover’s court.
"I don’t care to read the letters,”
Judge Sieve? said, as lie pushed to one
side a bundle of letters which Weddell
was said to have received from affini
ties in the three months of his married
life. “The photograph is enough to en
title you to a divorce.”

dissolves every particle of dandruff;
cleanses, purifies and invigorates the
scalp, forever stopping itching and fall

will be after a few weeks’ use of Dan
derine, when you will actually see new
hair —fine and downy at first —yes —but
really new hair growing all over the
scalp. If you care for pretty, soft hair,
and lots of it, surely get a 25-cent bot

drug store or toilet counter and just
try it. (Advt.)
