resignation of I
lice Commissioner from the
Seventh Ward, at rhe meeting of
Council Afondav afternoon has re
vealed a pretiv play or inside politics
that has a significant bearing on the
support of P*iicc Chief Reavers in
the Commission and on the election
of a chairman to succeed Carlos H
Mason.
Mr. Mclvichern's term would have
expired next March, and a number ot
candidates were in the Held for his
place. As soon as his resignation was
announced, it was stated by Council
man Roy Abernathy and Alderman F.
J. Spratling, of the Seventh Ward,
that Marcellus M Anderson, now a
member of the Board of Education
from the Seventh Ward, would be
elected in his place.
Mr. Anderson is a leading member
of the anti-Woodward faction and a
strong supporter of Chief Beavers.
Though a secret fight likely will he
waged against his election at the
next meeting of Council, it is said
that he has a safe majority already
pledged to him.
The aim of the whole affair is to
forestall any plan Mayor Woodward
may have had to strengthen his sup
port on the Police Commission by the
election of a successor to Mr. Me*
Eaehern.

the poor
morning.
The Tango Tea was such a success
that the management of the Pied
mont is considering gTv'ng regular
dances in its own behalf. At 4:30
o'clock, as the shopping period of the
day was about over, the women be
gan to come in. Society editors have
had much to say of how the socially
elite have become fascinated by the
new dances and how they have been
devoting evenings to lessons. The
Tango Tea demonstrated very clever
ly that there are many finished danc
ers of the tango, the turkey trot and
the hesitation waltz.
Couple in Dance Duet
1 <>me when the orchestra started a
! selection in tango time and the danc-
1 ers were a little slow starting, Mr.
and Mrs. Chgs. V. Rainwater did some
beautiful figures alone in the center
of the floor, and they did them so well
that the whole party, encored for
more. Rut they refused to dance
alone again.
The party was wholly informal,
though marked by the presence of
many of the most beautiful women of
whom Atlanta boasts so much. It
was a h ippy gathering of friends and
acquaintances, where those who did
not wish to dance, and m;..iy who did.
took tea in an adjoining room and
talked of The Georgian’s Empty
Stocking Fund and other things in
which they were interested.
It'was quite remarkable how much
the company in so light-hearted a
mood was interested in the Empty
Stocking Fund and the plans for giv
ing Atlanta’s poor that kind of ( Tirist-
mas the real Old Santa would have

know just how much money was re

Rich Harvest of Subscriptions Ex
pected—Leaders Encouraged
by Results So Far.
Encouraged by the surprising suc
cess of the first day when pledges
aggregating $6,000 were obtained
within a few hours and before tile
subcommittees were fully organized,
tb.e Oglethorpe University fund
workers started out Tuesday to
eclipse this record by several thou
sands, if not to double It.
One of the most efficient money-
producers in the city, when it comes
to a whirlwind campaign for funds
badly needed for a worthy cause—the
Ad Men’s Club—had not even begun
their part of the work Monday. They
met and organized for the campaign,
and will send out their canvassers
Tuesday. A rich harvest of results
is expected/ from their efforts.
The chairmen of the 25 committees
wiil me. , <ver\ at 12:30 o’clock
for luncheon in the Piedmont Hotel,
j as they did on the first day.
To Report Every Day.
Every head of a committee will be
compelled to make a report as to sub
scriptions obtained. If his commit
tee has failed, he will be asked to
explain. In cases where there ap
pears to be a ray of hope that a
person who has refused to subscribe
finally may experience a change of
heart, the Central Committee is put
to work, and unless this person has
unusual resisting powers he is pret
ty sure to succumb.
The most remarkable showing for
the first day's work probably was
that of Henry Schaul. who turned in
a repoi 1 < $2,194 subs* rlbed. That
his committee got busy at the tap of
the gong and kept at it until time for
luncheon was evidenced by the fact
that many of his subscriptions were
for small amounts and came from
many persons. They ranged from $5
and $6 up to.$250 and $500.
Scr.aul Enthusiastic.
Mr. Schaul has been an enthusias
tic booster for the project since Dr.
Thornwell Jacobs returned to At
lanta and said it was up to this city
to give a bonus of $250,000 in order
to retain the university.
He at once subscribed $250 on his
own account, and said that he would
be glad to head a committee w hen the
actual campaign began.
He is MLggesting to his subscrib-
e s that they make their payments on
their birthdays. He hit upon this
scheme as an aid to their memories.
Several larg^ subscriptions will be
announced Tuesday. Porter Langston
said aLAforrt4yw’s meeting that he had
a $T1T00 subscription, but that he
cmflri not announce (he donor’s name
until the next day. There are a num
ber/of other subscriptions of this na
ture.

Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.
Almost every one knows that Sage
Tfa and Sulphur, properly compound
ed. brings bark the natural color and
luster to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
Realp and stops falling hair. Years ago
the only way to get this mixture was
to make it at home, which is mussy
and troublesome.
Nowada; s we simply ask at any drug
store for ’Wyeth's Sagr and Sulphur
Hair\ Remedy.” You will gpt a large
bottle for about 50 cents. Everybody
uses this old. famous recipe, because no
one can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with if and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears. and after another application
or two. your hair becomes beautifully
dark, thick and glossy and you look
years younger.— Advt.

the system.
As soon as you notice the first in

sides, or aches around the kidney,
or if the urine is light and pa'*
dark colored, cloudy, thick, or has an
offensive odor, burns, is scalding or
irregular in passage, take a litt 1 *
Croxone three times a day and end
these troubles before they become
more serious.
There is no more effective remed'’
known for the prompt relief and
cure of kidney, bladder troubles and
rheumatism than Croxone. It soaks
right into the kidneys through th*
walls and lining; cleans out th*
clogged up pores; neutralizes and
dissolves the poisonous uric acid and
waste matter that lodge In the joints
and muscles, and cause those ter
rible rheumatic pains, and makes th*
kidneys filter the poison from the
blood and drive it out of the system
A few days’ use of this new scieo
tific preparation is often all that is
ever needed to end the worst back
ache, or overcome the most annoy

You will find Croxone entirely dff
