A ith the smoke and gas commission
h ' i,>ssly rent by discord, and Inspec
’ .Michael’s resignation handed in,
, movement to abolish the board was
pcived today with added vigor.
■ouncilman Charles W. Smith said
1 would Monday reintroduce his ordi
n nc e abolishing the commission at the
it s eting of council.
I think the great majority of the
jmtbers of council are tired of the
tckerings of the smoke commission,”
I . said. "I know the people are.
What we want is to get rjd of the
tnoke nuisance.”
Tells of Bribe Offer.
Resigning his office, Smoke Inspector
[cMlchael declared that he had been
tfered a total of $7,800 in bribes by
; gents of smoke consumers to recom
-.end their patents/ He said that these
gents were insisting that cases be
:ade against ail violators of the smoke
rdlnance, and that they were “holding
p” the owners of steam plants with
xcessive charges.
"I have yet to know of a single one of
hese agents who would put up a surety
Kmd that his patent would do what he
laimed it would do,” said the inspec
or.
His resignation and startling revela
lons immediately followed a clash be
ween him and Commissioner J. N. Ren
froe. Commissioner Renfroe insisted
that cases should be made immediately
against all violators of the smoke law.
“There le the McMillan smokeless
furnace and many other appliances that
trill 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
cade against the Candler building, Du
■ar.d’s restaurant, on Edgewood ave
tue, and the Kimball house, if they
lave not complied with the law within
ifteen days.
Inspector McMichael made some crit
icism of the McMillan and other patent
processes.
"You are prejudiced against the
lames McMillan furnace. You had a
row with Mr. McMillan didn’t you?”
isked Commissioner Renfroe.
Physical Clash Nearly Results.
"Yes, I had a row with him.” said
(Inspector McMichael. “He tried to* slip
nV SSO in bills to recommend his plant
nd I felt like kicking him out of my
iffice."
‘Why didn’t you report it?” retorted
aninissioner Renfroe.

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 eent 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.

from a pole in that city and will un
doubtedly die. He sustained a frac
tured shoulder and skull. The cause of
his fall is unknown.

Cedar Chests for Gifts
Would 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
could store away, at $25.00.
Another of the same size, with panel sides, is $27.00.
A copper-mounted Chest, with heavy 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
FLINT RIVERS CITIES
PLAN CANAL PAGEANT
COLUMBUS, GA., Dec. 11.—Plans are
being made for a big celebration of the
opening of the St. Andrews Bay canal in
1915, the celebration to begin In this city
and be concluded in Panama City, on the
gulf. *
It is proposed to obtain every boat and
barge on the Chattahoochee and Flint
rivers and have them assemble at Colum
bus and, after fitting exercises here, pro
ceed down the river, stopping at various
points where suitable programs will be
carried out. It is expected that the canal
can be easily completed in eighteen
months and the plans for the celebration
will be pushed as the work on the canal
advances.
Congressman Henry I). Clayton, of the
Third Alabama district, and W. C. Adam
son, of the Fourth Georgia district, are
indorsing the celebration, and with the
sentiment for it that prevails in this city
and at other points along the Chatta
hoochee river and the canal, its success
seems assured.

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 crosst itched 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. v
At $6.50, the new reversible sweaters in the new “popcorn"—two
toned—stitching. A ery 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 forYouWhoWillGive
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.
Hi,s 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
Cheney silks, soft, lustrous satins and crepe de chines. Those of silk
and satin usually show great gorgeous floweu patterns, although bor
dered effects are not uncommon. Those of crepe de chine—perhaps we
should call them boudoir robes —are decidedly Parisian with i
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 toll you what your eyes will show you—you must
see them.
.4a*k i
Those of Cheney silk are $4.50 and $5.00. j
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 1
much easier for you to get choice little presents. We mean particularly
Handkerchiefs, Neck Fixings, Gloves
Ths Christmas Handkerchief stock can 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. The Solitaire at SI.OO, 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 huso n-D u-
Bose Company gloves.
The Neck Fixings. The great variety of novelties strikes you at
once. Ihe little bows, the jabots, the collars, the collar and cuff sets,
the Huffy ruffs are different —this because the new things are new. but a
very short time in New York before they come to us.
