Says Chief Beavers.
Chief BftiVo. m daring for a
•afe and sane Christmas for Atlanta,
today opened '.va- on t ;>•• toy pj-t'il
the dang' rous childish plaything that
every yea/ reaps a shocking toll of
tragedy and accident.
Recordei Broyles joined hands with
Chief Beavers and declared the deadly
toy plst'n should be prohibited abso
lutely. Tile recorder is toe open enemy
of not only the so-called toy pistol, in
which small bullets can be shot, but
alto the little toy weapon tint pup
paper caps. These, h' asserts, are
dangei ous.
Chief Brave: s agreed with the re
corder ns to the Cap pistols, but t. ei-i '
is no law prohibiting their sale or use. I
Broyles to “Do the Rest."
The chief's ultimatum 1“ that the law ■
be . igldly enforced as to the toy pistol
-tin kind .supposed to shoot blank]
«-. ,-r i.'gc'-. but which will discharge al
t Ju-t as easily. The law prohibits i
the sal of tilest 'Acapoti.'. to mitlois. i
Th hie, dee.aie that any person,
eaug.it rolling one of Lies. pi hols to al
child will be tit estrd. Judge Broyles
say s ’ll v '.l. du the I e.-t.
'I? chief wen. further and said that
any pet ton found r;i . ylng one of thv.se
toy pistol., will be pros outed for vary
ing a pistil.. Just till same aS though It
were a real six-shuoti r. They can nut
b - cur. led, iimcia’ed or exposed. Th'.*
|ni. -a attempting elthc. will fare til'
s.hii as the ordinary pistol tote .
"T.ifSe little piste ■ a called toys,
but they will shoot real bullets and kill
ana i pe son who car.les one is violat
ing th- law just as much as if he had a
big .11-ca’.lbe- revolver rammed down
in ills hip pocket,” said the chief.
To Forbid Fire-works Also.
Chief lieaveis within the next f-w
days will issue his regular Christmas
order forbidding the shooting of fire
works, and in this he will formally
place the official ban on the toy pistol.
As to the toy cap pistol, both Chief
Beavers and Judge Broyles assert they
are dangerous and deadly, in that a
child, popping a ham less-looking pow
der cap, may be burned on the hand or
fare and develop tetanus.
Chief Beavers today also placed
twenty extra men on regular patrol
duty for the holidays, as an added pre
caution and to aid in his determination
to give Atlanta a peaceful and sane
i elebratloii. These men represent the
entire supernumerary force, and will do
regular duty until the first of the year.
In addition, the chief has detailed
eight plain clothes officers for special
duty in the shopping district, to bag
pickpockets and shonllfters. These of
ficers circulate continually through the
busy throngs of shoppers In the down
town streets, and keep a close lookout
for crooks.

Atlanta Women
Urged to Eat Onions,
A la.g< wholesale produce house in a
Northern city has written to a grain
j brokerage fltm in Atlanta that the de
mand for onions nere Is far below what
it should be. The Northerners say
I that If the women of Atlanta knew that
onions ar. the best known vegetable
-i for priaitK Ing tine complexions, Atlanta
dealers would have no trouble In dis
posing of all the onions they could of
fer. Their letter says:
"The extraordinary fine complexion
of Bermuda women is due almost en
tirely to the free use of onions. They
work like magic, and accomplish the
desired result if eaten regularly. It
als • Is a well known fact that onions
are the best medicine in the world to
take for colds of every kind.”

HOLIDAY SUGGESTIONS
DIAMONDS—In all the range of gift
goods none are more appreciated than dia
monds, They are an adornment that gives the
wearer distinction. Not only is there no depre
ciation from wear, but, to the contrary, their
value is constantly enhancing.
Our present display of Solitaires, Brooch
es and Pendants surpasses by far any show
ing we have ever made.
By lyounting the stones ourselves we give
to them a graceful, handsome appearance, and
by c-lose application in the selection of our
loose stock, give the greatest value for the
money.
Store open evenings.
