Provide Christmas Joy for These. Atlanta is not. a city of slums, nor has it a grfeat population of miserably poor. Its people are brave and pr<m and even the poorest hesitate to call for | public aid. But there ate hundreds upon hun-1 flreds of homes where every cent the wage earner can scrape together must be devoted to actual necessities: where, I the purchase of coal and food and I ciothing leaves nothing for the little! things which children consider the | great things. There can be no toys when the gro- I tw is calling for his money: no candies] and fruit when the pantry is bare of flour. Cheerless Xmas Childhood Tragedy. It isn’t any joke to be a child on I'hrisunas morning and find no little gift to mark the day when al) the other children in the street are playing with brand-new toys, it is a pitiful tragedy "f childhood, a tragedy which leaves Its mark in after years. A child can understand cold and hun ger and patched or ragged garments, but a child who has been taught the universal love of Him whose birthday ' celebrated on Christmas can not understand why He who loves all lit he ones permits happiness to come to 'he rich and misery to the poor on the " ne day in the year most precious of I the calendar of childhood.

Banish the Ghost of an Empty Stocking From Your Xmas Feast On Christmas morning your children will jump from their warm beds to run laughing in glee to the well-filled stockings ] at the mantel, filled in the night by a Santa Claus whose liber ality was limited only by your good fortune in a year which has been prosperous. They will shout with joy over the good things Santa has bought, and you, smiling at their joy, will find the greatest happiness of your own Christinas day. But if you could look through the walls and across many streets you might see a little room, dark and comfortless, where a child is sitting on a tireless hearth, clasping an empty stocking, hung there on Christinas eve because the unquestion ing faith of a child was stronger than the cold reasoning of the parents who knew only too well that Santa Claus comes not to the homes of the penniless. If you could see that picture on Christmas morning wouldn’t vou pause in your happy merriment and say: “If 1 ha donly known in time!” The Georgian, by its Empty Stoking fun, is trying to tell vou in time. Contribute as liberally as you can, and your Christmas morning will be happier for the realiaztion that you did what you could. I DALTON finds out WHAT IT NEEDS TO BECOME CITY WISE — DALTON.

She is Mrs. Dorothy Maloney Lancaster, an ardent pupil of Mrs. Pankhurst, thy English militant suffragist. “I only wish 1 had the power to make trouble in those mills," said Mrs. Lan caster, who is 28 years of age and pretty. "It may- come in a few days, and then I’ll see if I can become a real strike leader.” Mrs. Lancaster recently addressed a meeting of striking trainmen, and aroused the workmen to such a pitch that > parade and demonstration fol lowed, with the little woman leading the procession. But one thing divides her interest in the strike. It’s her six-months-old baby. “I married because I wanted a baby,” she said today. Just then a baby’s cry attracted her attention, "See," she said, "she’s going to be a real trouble-maker, too. She’s starting already.” GETS FAT IN JAIL, WIFE ENTERS HER COMPLAINT YONKERS, N.

MARINES HURRIED TO SAN DOMINGO AGAIN AS REVOLT LOOMS UP WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.—With every hour bringing alarming information concerning a new revolution in Santo Domingo, navy department officials to day began active mobilization of ma rines to be sent to the island. Orders were issued to all navy yards along the Atlantic coast to hold their men ready to proceed to Dominican waters on short notice. The transport Prairie, at Philadel phia, was warned that she might be needed in a hurry to carry the marines southward. The Prairie, which returned iron? Santo Domingo only five days ago, could be coaled and provisioned in 48 hours, and it is probable that if more pacific reports do not reach the state department before tomorrow night, the transport and 500 men will be ordered south. " The battleship New Hampshire, car rying a landing party of 60 marines and 250 sailors, left Hampton Roads hur riedly last night for Santo Domingo. General Arias was defeated for the presidency, and is reported to be on the point of revolt, and the New Hampshire has orders to land marines and blue jackets if conditions demand. Rein forcements may be sent, if necessary. A FINE OF $25 SPEEDING MAY COST LAWYER $50,000 ROCHESTER, N.

The Panama canal conference lias adjourned, but echoes of “merchant marine” st'.'! remain, it was the desire of tin convention to keep Its maiden session fie.' ; om politics and tactions, but vigoAFj!.- support and as vigorous opposition developed when the question of moving Ame iean commerce through the Panama car.ai was opened. An issue was I’o, eed at the afternoon session yesterday when Samuel G. , Douglas, of Nashville, introduced a res olution which he had been trying to Introduce for 1“ horns. This called for a rehabilitation of the American mer chant marine by congress. The resolu tion was passed after it had been shorn of the ..-bjeetionable term "ship sub sidy.” Glass Objects to Move. The Douglas resolution got a “rise” out of branlc P. Glass, editor of The Birmingham News and The Montgom ery Advertiser, who declared that "the Southern people as a whoh are oppose ■ to this resolution, and Southern eon gressmen wili pay no att- ntion to It if it Is passed.” Mr. Glass’ remarks b'ought a retort from D. M. Stewart, of Chattanooga, representing lary- manufacturing in terests in the Tennessee city. “I fail to’ see the argument in Mr. Glass’ statement," he asserted. "I thought we came here to talk business arid not politics, and if 1 had ’known I, was to get into a political convention I should not have come.” John W. Po’ eh and M. B. Trezevant, of New Orleans; Leland Hume, of Nashville, and G. B. Weatherly, of Brunswick, spoke for the resolution. President W. W. Pinley, of the Southern railway, opposed it on the ground that this was not the time nor the place for it. lie always had favored a merchant marine, he declared. Railroads Oppose Marine. The merchant marine question is a widely discussed one throughout the United States and always leads to sharp controversies. It generally is believed that the railroads oppose it because the extensive transportation of commercial products by water might cut seriously Into land transportation business. Low er freight rates and better and more varied routes are wanted, however, by the advocates of a merchant marine. One of the delegates pointed out that the United States government owned 99 per cent of the merchantmen at the opening of he Civil war, but that Ad miral Semmes and others of the Con federate navj’ destroyed so many ships that the country never has fully recov ered. England. Germany and other nations, he declared, took advantage of this period of commercial depression to get the business of this country, and have held it since. He declared that there were at present only nine freight-carry ing ships sailing under the Federal flag. COUNCIL STAVES OFF MONUMENT REMOVAL BY REFUSING PERMIT MACON, GA., Dec. 12.—8 y refusing to give the receiver of the Marietta Marble and Granite Company permis sion to work in a city park, the city council is seeking to save the monu ment to the "Women of the South,” which was unveiled here two years ago by the veterans and Daughters of the Confederacy with much ceremony. The shaft was purchased by the vet erans, but has never been fully paid for. The veterans presented the monument to the Daughters of the Confederacy, and they in turn gave it to the city, which erected it in the park in front of the city hall. The receiver for the marble company wants to dismantle the monument be cause of the unpaid indebtedness, but is prevented by reason of not having the city’s consent to work in a z city park. Members of council openly stated in meeting that they would never willing ly give the permission, and referred the request to a committee, with the re quest that action be delayed on it as long as possible. The local attorney for the receiver of the marble company states that a man damus will probably be sought against the city to force it to allow the dis mantling of the monument.

A., com manding the Department of the East and formerly head of the military acad emy at West Point, is slated to be the new chief of stats, succeeding Major General Leonard Wood, according to a well authenticated rumor.

Auto Kills Child as She Plans Christmas Joys CLUTCHES DOLL IN DEATH Everybody expected to be planning for Christinas at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Adrian L. Beauchamp, 237 Bryan street, today. But an automobile killed the little daughter of the house and crushed a big doll she held in her arms i on Boulevard yesterday afternoon, and instead of Christmas joy funeral gloom hovers over the Beauchamp home. The little girl, Ava, was nine years old. She was returning from the home of her aunt, Mrs. G. B. Beauchamp. 237 Boulevard, with a doll in her arms, for which her aunt had just finished a Christmas dress. It was to be the most beautiful toy on a Christmas tree the child was planning. It was dark and raining. The big Van of the city stockade was rumbling down the street. The automobile truck of the Capital City Tobacco Company came up the other way. The stockade van started to turn in Bryan street. The lit tie girl started to pick her way Atlanta Awaits Lipton s Ver diet on Its Beauties SIR THOMAS IS IMPARTIAL Thine are French dukes and Italian counts and every now and then an Eng lish lord several thousand pounds worse than broke who come a wife-hunting in America, first looking up the eligible offerings in Dun's and Bradstreet's well known social blue books. It isn’t so often that a bachelor with a title and more real money in nis bank book than a steel magnate can show comes visiting in tlie States, and when he does there is naturally considerable speculation as to his intentions. Taut's one reason why Sir Thomas Lipton’s swing around the country is causing so much speculation in society circles from coast to coast, not to men tion a few inland cities. Not Barred From Marital Stakes. . And the mere detail that Sir Thomae has passed the sixtieth lap on the giddy whirl of life doesn't bar him from the matrimonial stakes. Even if he didn’t own a neat little tea business, a title and the most famous yachts on earth, he would be considered some catch, for doesn't he hob-nob with royalty and entertain the very top of the pot in Eu rope ? And, besides that, he’s just about as fine anri jolly a chap as anybody would care to meet, as Atlanta has learned since yesterday. And a fair share of Atlanta society has met him. Os course, everybody is trying to mai ry otT Sir Thomas. It is a tribute to the civic pride of ’Frisco, and Denver, (pid Salt Lake, and New Orleans, and New York, and Boston that each of them would like to furnish a Lady Lip ton. Lloyds Wager on Him. Everywhere Sir Thomas went the ru mor was sure to go tha,t .at last he had coni'- ami seen and been conquered. Then was a debutante in San Fran cisco and a society bud in Chicago and there once was a widow in Narragan sett, it Is rumored —but anyway noth ing ever came of the rumors. They do say that Lloyds of London, who will insure against anything from twins in the family to a mother-in law's visit, considers Sir Thomas’ bach elorhood a nine-to-one bet and no limit on the game. When a man has gone 60 years without finding his way up the middle aisle with the ’cello softly sob bing “Oh. Promise Me,” he may fairly be considered an immune. But that doesn’t hinder Sir Thomas’ hosts from taking pride in presenting the very choicest array of personal ICASTBRIft For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the L.

'|| was scattered into bits, but little Ava I still clutched Hie wax head in her hand, i Lowe drove to the city stockade, i which was near, and surrendered. He said he did not see tlie child In time to stop, because the stockade van ob scured his view. He said it was his fl first day as bhauffeur for the company, | but that he had had five years expert- ‘I ence in driving automobiles. He was 1 released on a SI,OOO bond, charged with .3 reckless driving. John W. Wood, driver of the stock- j ade van and an eyewitness to the | tragedy, said that he truck seemed to ] him to be running at the rate of at !a least 25 miles an hour. , , >j pulchritude possible whenever he comes | to town. There are no less than two ecore maids and matrons in America who still base their claim to being Queen of the May on the strength of Sir Thomas having pronounced each, separately, “the prettiest woman I ever saw." Atlanta Holds Its Breath. And just now all Atlanta is holding its breath and wondering who will win the apple from this modern Paris. The program for the week will pre sent a dozen or two of the prettiest | girls in the society set. Not that any Atlanta girl would wed a foreigner; far be it from, far be it from! But they are all willing to prove that Atlanta can furnish as glittering a galaxy of girl hood as any other old town, from Dub lin to Honolulu. There were a hundred or so presented at the reception given Sir Thomas by ' Colonel Willis Ragan yesterday after noon. And just to show how Sir Thom as feels about it, he disappeared from the ball room where the receiving line was greeting the guests, and a search ing party located him In the drawing room, where the younger set was pour ing tea. Tea Might Have Attracted Him. There were Misses Katherine Ellis. Harriet Calhoun, Marjorie Brown, Sa rah Rawson. Kathryn Gordon, Annie 1 Lee McKenzie, Mary Helen Moody, An nie Orme and Martha Phinizy. Os course, it may have been the tea which attracted him. And tonight Sir Thomas will meet another galaxy of girlish grace. Colonel Willis Ragan gives a dinner at his home.t o which twei.iy guests are in vited. Some of the same girls who poured tea will be there, with others. ' The list includes Mrs. Albert Thornton. Misses Annie Orme, Harriet Calhoun. Martha Phinizy, Katherine Ellis, Mar garet Hawkins, Marjorie flrown, Pas sie May Ottley, Esther Smith and Helen Payne. Sir Thomas expects to leave Satur day, and It is probable he will say con fidentially to a friend that is * absolutely the prettiest young woman he ver met, and the friend will tell : somebody else In strict confidence, and by tea time very body will be discuss ing Sir Thomas’ idea of personal pul chritude and disagreeing with him. And then Sir Thomas will sail back to Lon don. heart whole and fancy free—but there’s many an old bird who falls Into a trap at last. You never can tell. 3
