If TEEN TO
Flat Owners' Protest Against En
forcement To Be Decided at
Meeting Tuesday,
When the Smoke Commission hears
the protest of the apartment house
owners against the enforcement of
the smoke laws Tuesday afternoon,
the cruicial test in the fight for a
cleaner Atlanta will be on.
The manufacturing plants, rail
roads and office buildings have capit
ulated one by one to the reform
movement. Except iu a few isolated
cases, every downtown furnace will
make far less smoke this season than
last, the city inspectors say. They
point out that there will be no trou
ble to handle the obstinate individu
als in the Recorder’s Court.
Apartment Owners Obstinate.
But in the fight to prevent the law
from affecting apartment houses
many of Atlanta’s most prominent
and influential citizens have com
bined. They are opposed to spend
ing the money it will take to remodel
their furnaces.
Chairman R. M. Harwell, of the
Smoke Commission, declared Mon
day that he believed the Commis
sion would be strong enough to op
pose this influence. He said that
smoke abatement in Atlanta was
past the experimental stage, but that
the apartment houses demanded im
mediate attention because they were
among the greatest sources of the
smoke evil.
Little Smoke in Pittsburg.
“Persons constantly are referring
me to Pittsburg as an example of
failure to abate the smoke nuisance,”
he said. An official report from the
Pittsburg Smoke Inspector repudiates
these reports and says, among other
things:
“The plain logic of the question is
that just as soon as each individual
will realize that it is his duty an I
that it will work to his own benefit
to co-operate in that which will re
sult in Xhe greatest possible good to
all concerned there will be no more
necessity for any anti-smoke ordi
nance.
“Incidentally the escape of uncon
sumed hydro-carbon means higher
coal bills, and the only economical
method of getting rid of smoke is to
burn it in a furnace properly de
signed for the purpose.
“The present high cost of living has
attracted the attention of property
owners to economy in fuel consump
tion as much as any other economic
nroblem.”
Gideons Open Series
Of Sunday Meetings
Atlanta Gideons began a series of
meetings to be held in the Hotel

traveling men.
W. S. Witham was the principal
speaker at the meeting Sunday. Vo
cal selections were sung by the Misses
Bearden. A. F. Todd, president of the
State organization, spoke. The speak
er for next Sunday will be Dr. S. R.

Maud Allen Warned
Not to Dance in India
NEW YORK, Sept. 8.—“If Miss
Maud Allen dances in public in In
dia,” declared Swania Bodhananda,
leader of the Vedante Society in this
city, “she will be rated as low as the
native nautch girls, and the prestige
of the white woman there will be di
minished.
“In our country,” said Bodhananda.
“all dances are done by nautch girls.
These women are of the lowest
caste.”

Years, Says Banker

NTEW YORK, Sept. 8.—Etsht mil-

$2,080,000,000 in all—can be invested
profitably in developing the electric
Industry in this country, in the opin
ion of Frank A. Vanderlip, president
of the National City Bank of New
York.
“In making such an estimate,” said
Mr. Vanderlip. “one does not need
to draw on one's imagination. Little
more is needed than a grasp of pres
ent-day statistics, compared with
those of five or ten years ago.
“When we think what is certain to
be done in the way of electrification
of steam railroad terminals and heavy
mountain grades; when we reflect on
the larger use of electrical energy for
industrial power, in agriculture, and
in the continued growth of necessary
interurban lines, we do not need to
loo If further into the possible develop
ment of the induotry to see a re
quirement for $400,OW,000 a year of
new capital.
“That means $8,000,000 each week
for the next five years. To get a full
appreciation of the difficulties you
may have in getting it, you may
glance outside of your own field, and
note that there will mature, within
tihat five-year period, more than $1,-
000,000 of steam railroad securities.
The railroads in five years will meed
$4,000,000,000 for refunding and fresh
capital. States and municipalities will
absorb $1,500,000,000 more, so. with
the $2,000,000,000 your industry will
need, there should be provided be
tween now and the end of 1918, bet-
tween $7,000,000,000 and $8,000,000,-
000 for these purposes alone, to say
nothing of general industrial and
other needs.
“These are bewildering figures. The
raising of such sums, however. Is the
practical problem that financiers have
in front of them.

the recipe devised by Dr. L. B. How

gether. Throw the towel over the
head of the bed and every mosquito
within a mile will hasten to
safer quarters. A few drops on

STIRS SCIENCE
Nephew of Dr, Eliot Discusses
Skeleton of Triceratops
in Maine. f j
ORR-a ISLAND, MAINE, Sept. 8.—
The petrified skeleton of a mammoth
prehistoric animal, the skull of which
alone weighs 500 pounds has been dis
covered on the farm of Theodore Bul
lard, a nephew of President-Emeritus
Charles W. Eliot, of Harvard. It was
found while Mr. Bullard was digging
for a well, and had been preserved
almost intact in a cave flften feet be
low the surface of the ground.
Scientists from Harvard and Bow-
doin are now on their way here to
viaw the skeleton, which local .scien
tists this afternoon pronounced to
be a mammoth triceratops. If this
proves true, they say it will revolu
tionize the views of science on the
periods occupied by different species
of animals*
Two horses were used to pnfi tbs
mammal’s skull from the cave. Tbs
skull measures six feet long and three
feet high. The remaining pieces of
the skeleton are still in the ground,
one piece being so large that four
men wore unable to move it. Under
instructions from Haxvard, Mr. Bul
lard will not remove the remainder
of the Rkeleton until scientists arrive
to superintend the work.
Mr. Bullard, who is a scientist him
self, feels certain that it is a tricera
tops. described as a huge, three
horned monster about twenty-five feet
long and ten feet high. The only
other species of this animal has been
found In Converse County, Wyoming.
The animal existed at the Cretaceous
period.

“Going straight up in the air is
good sport,” he said, “but the most

“J like to go away up and then
shut off the motor and let the ma
