As soon as his resignation was announced, it was stated by Council man Roy Abernathy and Alderman F. J.

Mr. Anderson is a leading member of the anti-Woodward faction and a strong supporter of Chief Beavers.

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.

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 them have.

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.

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.
