3 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. EMPHATIC APPEALS FOR SO-TO-CHURCH'DAY TORE MADE IN PULPITS HOME FOR FRIENDLESS CHILDREN ARE CENTER OF INTEREST AT SHOW Loft to right. Miss Marguerite Cantrell, two children of Homo for Friendless under her charge, and Miss Elizabeth Gregg, head of Dependent Child Section in Welfare Exhibit. \ n‘iising appeal In behalf of "Go- hurrh Day," even more general • ,n that delivered last veek from • ■ pulpits of Atlanta, will be made : Sunday throughout the city. Pastors who urged their congrega- ,as last Sabbath to turn out In rec- .[(].breaking numbers on the eventful iv December 14—will be even more ( ■ a!:c in their insistence this week. The ministry of the city is awake to the importance of the oc- «Fi"n and has signified it3 intention at overlooking no onnortunlty to make it an epochal one In the r?- ;,glous history of Atlanta. The movement for a "Go-to-Churcb Day.” when every church in the city was to get out the maximum strength of its memoersnip, took people some what by surprise at its inception, but, quickly appreciating the great possi bilities It offered in the way of stimu. la ting church attendance and inter est in religious work, the laity soon Joined with the pastors in a concerted cnueavor to bring about a tremendous outpouring of churchgoers whose numbers would set a record for other cities of Atlanta’s size to wonder at and strive for. Pastors Determined. Atlanta for years has enjoyed the reputation of being a churchgoing city. The ministers have set to work to make a striking demonstration of ihts fact. The pastor of every church in the city has determined to fill his building to capacity at all services ot) December 14, and thus provide a stim ulus for a better attendance through out 1914 than he had In 1913. There will be no poaching on the preserves of another. There will be no rivalry aside from the friendly competition which may spring be- St. Paul’s Church to Install New Officers At Sunday Service At St. Paul's Methodist Church the newly elected officers for the ensuing year will be installed by the pastor Sunday morning. A special sermon will be preached by Dr. B. F. Fraser. Dr. Fraser, who returned to the city Saturday morning from Miami, Fla., where he assisted in a ten days’ re vival, will occupy his pulpit both Sun day morning and evening. St. Paul’s Church, the largest in point of congregation in the city, will begin the new year under the most favorable circumstances. The church is fre from debt, and has added, this year, to its roll more than 400 new members. The congregation, Dr. Fraser says, never has been more zealous. JUDGE HAMMOND TO SPEAK.

Each church whl keep closely to its own members and to persons without church affiliations in its work to obtain capacity con gregations. The chief aim is to obtain the sum total of people attending church in Atlanta on December 14. The idea of a contest to determine which ehur h can get out the largest congregation is eliminated by the “Go-to-Chur. U Day” plans. The movement is for t»»e benefit of all of the churches of At lanta and for the encouragement of the city’s religious growt . Whole State Interested. Committees have been appointed in many of the churches to review ‘he membership rolls and to see that every person thereon receives a per sonal invitation to attend the sen - ices on December 14. Some of the pastors have made the invitation al most a demand, and woe betide the thoughtless wight who forgets to be in his place on the day appointed. So popular a chord the “Go-to- Church Day” idea has struck among the ministry that* without any spe cial effort to spread its observance out9ide of Atlanta this year, in many cities of the State the movement is belmr taken up enthusiastically, and the day will be observed on the same date that it is in Atlanta. Prior to the “Go-to-Church Day” movement it never had appealed to the ministers as a possibility that on some certain Sunday in the year the entire churchgoing population of t ie State might join in a vast outpouring, and that on that day every churcn within Georgia’s borders might be packed to its utmost limits. Now such a possibility seems very close to realization.

City Electrician R. C. Turner took Aldlno Chambers’ bitter attack on him Saturday in a spirit of levity. He did not seem to be worried in the least because he had been railed a liar, blackguard end grafter, but smilingly found solace in a quotation from Wil liam Jennings Bryan. ”1 seem to have drawn Chambers’ fire at last,” ne said. "I am very well satisfied with the situation. “William Jennings Bryan says that every man in public life must stand .1 certain amount of crltlcUnn. i am willing to stand my share. “Mr. Chambers is unwilling, or un able to stand his, as he retired from public life at the last election.” Since Electrician Turners personal attack on him, Mr. Chambers, ex- Councilman and attorney for the Cot ton States Electric Company, has dropped all mere intimations of wrongdoing on the part of the City Electrican and boldly accused him of being a “blackguard, deliberate liar, slanderer and a grafter.” "I charge that he got $180 from the association of electrical contractors In November, 1912,” said Mr. Cham bers. “That was after his election, and could not have been a campaign contribution. “Wliat did he get It for? “He admits having received a gold watch from the contractors. “What did he get that for? "As to Mr. Turner’s charge that I received campaign contributions from the Georgia Railway and Power Company, 1 answered that during an Investigation by the General Council last year, which body denounced Tur ner as a deliberate liar and slanderer. “As to his intimation that a. repre sentative of the Barber Asphalt Com pany paid to me and two officials of Atlanta a sum of money in New York in the summer of 1912, he knows that it is utterly false, and that he is a common blackguard and liar as well as a grafter.” Denver Paralyzed by 4 Feet of Snow; Many Missing; Food Scarce DENVER, Dec. 6. — Paralyzed com pletely by the snow that covers the State to a depth of from three to eight feet, all of Colorado to-day awaited warmer weather.

Having worked for four days a. dish washer in a Broad street restau rant, the first campaign of a strenu ous and extended warfare designed to expose the inner workings of the cul inary departments of local eating houses and hospital kitchens. Mrs. Grace Macey-Keefer. the wealthy di vorced w ife of David H. Keefer, whose matrimonial troubles brought her sharply before the public eye recent ly, is overcome with horror at pre vailing conditions. “I have been told," she said Satur day morning, as she balanced a plate on her forearm and deftly wiped it with a clean towel, "that I’m down here in this place raising hell. But I’m not. I’m elevating it, for in my humble opinion that’s the proper name for the average Atlanta res taurant.” Such being the case. Mrs. Keefer advances a number of reformative measures which she says will curb the activities of the microbe and thwart the purposes of the advancing army of cockroaches, which have a finger, speaking figuratively, in every pie cut in an Atlanta restaurant. Her Remedy for Evil. • Here are a few' things she says ought to be done: 1. Have a public restaurant inspec tor. 2. Put the men in jail who rent buildings for restaurant purposes that are not fit to be used as barns —and start with the man who owns the place where I wash dishes. 3. Legislate sanitation and hygiene into every restaurant. 4. Make people quit preparing food with their hands. “I make no secret of the fact that I’m an uplifter," she said, "but I’m not the ordinary uplifter. I’m trying to strike at the root of human happ - ness and ambition, and it lies In the stomach. If you’re going to uplift a man, you’ve got to upltft his stomaca first, and you elevate his mind only when you elevate his stomach, for that is the source of all our em>- tlons. ., _ ,, May Stir Up Trouble. "I don’t know whether I’m going .0 accomplish anything bv working in these restaurants, hut if I can ac complish what I’m after i’ll stir up a lot of Lroublc for the men who own these restaurant buildings. They are the first people we must get after ,n the campaign for better kitchens They rent buildings for restaurant purposes that are not lit to be ren .d as stables. The walls are filled w til nesting places for microbes ..nd in jects and ideas of cleanliness appear to be almost unknown. There oug_i to be a law putting any man in Jail who rents such a building for eattog PU "T^rlght kind of a restaurant should have concrete walls and a con- erete floor and concrete tables, where no insects and microbes can breeu. The floors should he divided into sec tions, with drains running through each section, sc. that portions of 1 ran be thoroughly cleaned at any tim« without interfering with the other sections. . For Restaurant Inspector. "And after all the property owners are put in jail and the restaurant buildings are fitted properlyJni• re - tauranls. we should have a public res. taurant Inspector to see that they are Kent clean. We have a Smoke In- spector-though he doesn t seem to do much inspecJng; and a Fire Inspector and a Building Inspector, and an In spector for everything under the sun except the very thing that needs one Mrs. Keefer says she nas not ror- saken the ease and comfort of her mansion on Piedmont avenue for the sink and dish towel of the restau rant kitchen through any desire for notoriety, but because she is a gen uine reformer, and has a mission to Experts Praise Work of Atlanta Institutions as Nearly Ideal. Most everybody likes to watch little children at work or play. And maybe that’s the reason why the fifteen little boys and girls from the Home for the Friendless are al ways the center of a curious throng at the Child Welfare and Public Health Exhibit. They are of most importance in the Dependent Child Section of the show, which has a room to the left as you enter the building. And every one of the fifteen young sters—what time they are not chat tering and giggling with the exuber ance of childhood—are working, al though it doesn’t appear to be work. The average child, if it likej? the task given it, can make almost any work seem like pkiy—and the people who train the children at the Home for the Friendless have the knack of teaching them to love their work— and therefore it is play. Panels Show Achievements. Probably no section of the show has attracted more attention than the Dependent Child Section. While, of course, the children are the center of attraction, there are other thing* in the exhibit which make it worth while. There are panels illustrating the work of five of the well-known At lanta orphan asylums, two of them negro institutions. Photographs of children from the Home for the Friendless are shown on one panel, with statements of the work being done. On another panel the work of the Decatur Orphan Home, which makes a specialty of the cottage plan of caring for its children, is shown, and on still another the Georgia Children's Home traces the progress of a child from lowly surroundings through the various stages of admission to the home and adoption into a childless home. And there are also panels showing what the Carrie Steele Home and the Leonard Street Home are doing for the negro children cast out into the world. Atlanta Institutions Praised. And on the other side of the room are panels showing conditions in an ideal orphan home, and a panel show ing scenes in a girls’ training school. Then there is a “How to Help” panel, vividly telling the best ways to make up to the child for the loss of its home. And it is much to the credit of the Atlanta institutions to say that the experts declare they compare very favorably with the ideal institu tions told of on some of the panels. There is no orphan home that is per fect. the experts say, but the Atlanta Institutions appear to he doing a great deal of the work that i9 recommended for the ideal home.
