VENGEANCE ON
PANICMAKERS
Issues Dire Warning in Speech
Before Southern Society in
New York.
SEW YORK, Dec. 18.—In a stirring
,i at the banquet of the Southern
iv here Jast night, President-elect
Woodrow Wilson declared that any man
would deliberately start a panic
in the United States to show that the
: . ni-d legislative policies of the new
administration were wrong would be
t-hneed by him on a "gibbet higher than
Haman’s.” He said he meant not a
literal gibbet, but a gibbet of public
scorn.

Children Thrive on Outdoor Exercise and Gymnastics
PERFECT BOY OF 3 A BOXER
This Sturdy Atlanta Youngster
Is a Trained Athlete at Age
of Thirty-six Months.
The search for the Ideal three-year
old baby, conducted for The Georgian
by Professor F. B. Magee, Atlanta's
Muldoon, wound up right in Professor
Magee's own home at Cascade Springs.
And the youngster in question is Ber
narr Magee, the professor’s youngest
son.
There may be more perfect young
sters of 36 months in or near Atlanta,

but they have not yet come under Pro
fessor Magee’s observation. For Ber
narr Magee is the product of a careful
system of athletic training that has ex
tended from the kiddo’s second month
until the present time.
Right now Bernarr is a trained ath
lete. He can box. wrestle, balance on
his father's shoulders, throw somer
saults that would be a credit to Ring
ling’s, and at the age of two years and
a half could hold a 50-pound weight off
the ground by the grip of his hands.
His Development Amazing.
The measurements here given indi
cate the result of this lad's amazing
development. He is 2 1-2 inches over
the average height for his age, he
weighs three pounds more than the av
erage child of four years. And his mus
cles would do credit to an average child
of five.
At the request of The Georgian, Pro
fessor Magee has prepared some rules
for the development of children of three
years old and thereabouts. They are:
T Put up a small horizontal bar, on
which the child can work. He will In
vent his own exercises there.
2. Encourage the boy to turn somer
saults. It is a natural trick of children
and one they" enjoy.
3. Go through regular light calisthe
nics with the boy. The sort of exer
cises are not material. Books on the
subject are readily’ obtainable.
Teach the Boy Boxing.
4. Remember, you must take the ath
letic work along with the child. There
Is no chance In the world that he will
do it by himself.
5. Teach the lad the first rudiments
of boxing. Get a set of boxing gloves,
teach the child the correct position,
how to clench the fist, and the ele
ments of hitting and defense. Os
course, at three a child picks up but
little, but it learns self-control and gets
a start that may afterward enable ft to
defend Itself.
6. Club swinging is an attractive
amusement for small children. They
should start with clubs weighing a
quarter of a pound. They rapidly learn
the simple movements.
7. See that the child has plenty of
baseballs'and a football. This encour
ages outdoor exercise and gives them
exercise in away that is particularly

attractive to them. The ball is the nat
ural plaything for the child.
8. Do all of the physical development
work possible OUTDOORS. When out
door work is not possible, be sure that
it is done with windows and doors open,
so that plenty of fresh air is available.
Exercise without fresh air is almost
worse than no exercise.
These rules apply equally well for
girls and boys. Even boxing is a first
class exercise for girls. Professor Ma
gee has a small daughter who is clever
with the gloves and who can give her
brothers a stiff argument over the
Quoensberry route.
It is quite possible that some parents
in Atlanta have developed their chil
dren even better than Bernarr Magee
has been developed. The thing could
happen. If you know a child or have a
child that stacks up more nearly per
fect, 10t The Georgian know about It.-

VOCALISTS TO SID

Triple Band Will Be Feature of
Big Musical at the Grand
Theater Sunday.
By Evelyn Wren
Nothing since the Empty Stocking
Fund was opened has promised such a
substantial addition to the fund as the
offer of Atlanta musicians to give a
whole Sunday afternoon for the poor
children. The concert next Sunday aft
ernoon at the Grand should fill the big
theater easily and bring in a harvest of
money to buy Christmas gifts for the
hundreds of little folks who otherwise
would be forgotten on Christmas morn
ing.
Since the announcement yesterday of
the Sunday concert the Christmas Ed
itor has received numerous offers of
assistance by talented singers, and the
complete program soon will be made
public.
Miss Margherita Carter has prom
ised to sing, and "The Singing Mar
tins." a grand opera act. will give sev
eral numbers. The Martins are sing
ing at the Montgomery the ater, but Mr.
Montgomery consented readily to per
mit them to appear at The Georgian's
concert.
Record Band to Play.
The band will be the biggest and best
which has played in Atlanta In years.
It will, in fact, be three bands com
bined, the Fifth regiment, under C. E.
Harber; the Wedetneyer, under Fred
VVedetneyer, conductor, and Matthles
sen’s combined band and orchestra, un
der Jake Ma.tthiessen. The three con
ductors will lead the triple band for
two numbers each.
The concert was offered for the
Christmas fund by the local union of
the American Federation of Musicians,
and the use of the Grand is given free,
of chiA’ge by Manager Hugh Cardoza.
Every cent contributed by the audience
will go toward making hundreds of poor
children happy on Christmas morning
—just a week from today.
No tickets will be sold. All who com*
will be welcome, but a collection will be
taken and every auditor Is expected to
contribute something, a little or a lot, to
help flu the stockings next Wednesday.
Rich’s Girls Aid Fund.
No niore striking evidence of the
wide appeal which The Georgian’s
Christmas fund Is making has been
furnished than the action today of girls
in the corset department of Rich's store
who raised $lO from among their none
too easily earned savings. That $lO
will go a long way toward providing a
bright Christmas morning for more
than one Atlanta youngster, and if the
Empty Stocking Fund had done noth
ing except giving the opportunity for a
display of this sort of spirit it would
have been well worth while.
Let’s Make Every Kiddie Happy.
You who crawled out ot a cozy bed
this morning and looked out from a
warm room into the rain outside said ta
yourselves:
“Nasty, dreary day! Gloomiest I ever
saw! ”
But it was not half so gloomy and
cheerless as next Wednesday morning
will be to the children whose stockings
hang empty by the, chimney; the chil
dren whom Santa Claus forgot.
The Christmas Editor has received
more than $l,lOO to help brighten the
day for these little brothers and sisters
of all of us, but the list of the poor is a
long one—longer than the list of con
tributions. More is needed—a great
deal more—to carry happiness on
Christmas morning to the children the
Christmas Editor knows.
Filling Empty Stockings Now.
But a few days remain. The Christ
mas shopping for the Empty Stockings
has begun. The packages must be made
up next Monday and Tuesday. After
that it will be too late.
The list of. contributors still is open,
and the Christmas Editor would like to
add a hundred names to it today and
another hundred each day this week.
A letter with a check or a note will be
the best way; a teb phone message- to
Hie Christmas Editor is next best.
Big Stores Help.
Several stores of Atlanta will aid
the fund materially in providing goods
for the poor who will be helped at cost
price or less. Among them are Keely's,
Rich's and the Met'lure establishments.
