I FOR OGLETHORPE MONDAY J)r. i hornwell Jacobs Will Give His b inal Instructions to Committee at Westminster Church To-day—Suc cess of Plan for University Assured. Sunday—the day of rest before la- ~ hor; the labor for Old Oglethorpe and a New Oglethorpe in one; erne of , the great undertakings in Atlanta’s history. ( Prepared by a whirlwind meeting Saturday, the Committee of One Hundred Is resting Sunday for the la9t time until the "quarter-of-a- Tnllllon fund” is raised, and the re founding of Oglethorpe University in Atlanta is assured. Monday will hear the call to arms, and twenty working committees, headed by bora fighters, will be on the firing line, in the full onfall of the campaign. And the rest of Sunday will not be the rest of Idleness. Through the Sabbath quiet la the strong strain of earnest thought and planning; for the cause is not one to be side tracked on the Seventh Day. Thornwell Jacobs to Speak. Out at Westminster Presbyterian Church, Thornwell Jacobs will speak at ll o'clock on the whole hope and aim and end of Oglethorpe Univer- f sity. No man knows the work as he does. A great part of his busy life is wrapped up in It. And he will tell the whole story of Oglethorpe, and rehearse all the plajis for its re founding. There is sure to be a great con gregation to hear Mr. Jacobs. Por *one thing the twenty committee chairmen and their hundred members will want to be there for the benefit of the. instructions they will receive concerning the plans for the work. "Instructions” Isn’t just the word for it. either; the Instructions were given ’Saturday, when the committees were formed and accepted their service. What the committees are most likely to get. and the congregation, too, for that matter, Is a touch of the fire that has warmed Mr. Jacobs and his helpers to the task when the outlook was cold and gloomy. Tt looks rosy indeed, now. *} When Mr. Jacobs looked out over * that gathering in the rooms of the < ’hamber of Commerce Saturday, he exclaimed: “Look at that bunch of men! Hrar on earth could they fall in anything they undertook? I would trust them Watch Your Pimples Go Away Then Feel the Ecstasy of Delight When Your Complexion Is Made Perfect By Stuart’s Calcium Wafers. Don’t worry about your plrnpl© ’ *- ~ ‘it. Jus' L'UU l VTU1I J O.VUU t J UU, StOp t that heartache and regret. Just make ip your mind that you are gotng to use J Stuart’s Calcium Warfare and make pim ples vanish. J 1 to put over anything in the world.” Purpose To Be Explained. So Mr. Jacobs is going to explain it all over again to the congregation •at Westminster, and tell them how he was able to raise almost $300,000, single-handed, and how 70 Atlantans came forward with a thousand dol lars apiece, and how the beautiful site at Silver Lake came to be of fered. and all the rest of it. And particularly Mr. Jacobs is go ing to explain that while Oglethorpe University is to be a Presbyterian university, it is in no way to smaefr of sectarianism. "I can’t make'that too plain,” Mr. Jacobs said Saturday. “Perhaps the best way to put it is thus: “Oglethorpe University is to be un der the auspices of the Presbyterian church, but .NOT under ecclesiasti cal control. The governing board will be widely diversified, and will repre sent truly all the South.” So It Is with this assurance, and the word that 70 Presbyterians in Atlanta set the pace with not less than $1,000 each in the way of sub scriptions, that all the people of At lanta will be asked by the commit tees to subscribe to this great proj ect. It is understood that “preferred attention” is to be given to the 1,700 Atlantans whose names appear on the six-year-old list of subscribers who so readily gave their word for $200,000 for that former project that failed—failed not through any short coming of the generous ones who pledged their support. Revive Old Subscriptions. The idea is that each subcommit-' tee. with 120 names from the old list, will acquaint them thoroughly with the new project, show them its im mense possibilities, and its certainty of suecess, and then seek to “revive” that former subscription—and pref erably to double it. “Atlanta is far richer, and Atlan tans are far richer, than they were six years ago.” was the wisdom of the meeting Saturday; and that to be the watchword of the campaign. There was the little community of Chamblee, a dozen miles out on the Peachtree road. Chamblee has only a hundred Inhabitants, counting thefn all—men. women and children. Yet Chamblee has given to the fund al ready $3,200—if Atlanta gave as much In proportion the total would reach beyond $6,000,000. Mr. Jacobs in his tour of the South spoke from 43 platforms in ten States and not once did he fail to gain at least one subscription of $1,000. “And whep I saw how tfiiose towns and cities, with nothing to gain in trinsically from the project, rallied to its support.” .said Mr. Jacobs, “I said to myseff, ‘Atlanta never will tutn Oglethorpe down now.’ And I know now that that conviction was inspired like a prophecy of old.” Work Begins Monday. Bright and early Monday morning the subdivisions of the Committee of Qne Hundred will be at work. At 12:3ft o’clock the members will meet for luncheon—and for further dis cussion of ways and means—on the second floor of the Piedmont, Hotel, and that plan will obtain through all the campaign. “Nothing like corfibining business with luncheon,” was the sentiment of the meeting Saturday. And the “pros pects” will be brought along, and fed, and given more and more reasons for subscribing to Oglethorpe, until they eventually do subscribe—which Is just what the Committee of One Hundred seeks to achieve through out all the city of Atlanta. The idea is for everybody to help. It looks as if everybody is going to.

Skirt-TightWorkmen ‘Shovel’ G-irl on Car BALTIMORE, Nov. 29.—Passengers or. an eastbound Gllmor street car were astonished to-day when the car reached Fayette street to see a hanl- seme young woman shoveled aboard the car by two workmen. The street had been dug up, making the step high. Several times she tried to reach the step, first with one foot, then the other. Each time she was unsucces- ful, owing to the tightness of her skirt. Becoming much embarrassed by the gaze of many passengers, the young woman was about to continue her way down by walking, when the workmen came to her rescue.
