TITF ATLANTA GEOROT AN AND NEWS.
Incognita. Rich Woman Washes
Sishes in Downtown Restau
rant to Learn Methods.
Having worked for four days a*
jjsh 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
Wes and hospital kitchens, Mrs.
rneo Macey-Keefer, the wealthy di-
vorce( i wife of David H. Keefer, whose
matrimonial troubles brought her
sharpiv before the public eye recent-
y i s overcome with horror at pre
vailing conditions.
“I have been told," she said Satur
day morning, as she balanced a plate
.. her forearm and deftly wiped it
T lth a clean towel, “that I'm down
he^e in this place raising hell. But
Pm not I'm elevating it, for in my
humhle opinion that's the proper
name for the average Atlanta res
taurant."
guch 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
6Tnr , 0 e 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:
L Have a public restaurant inspec
tor.
2. Put the men in jail who rent
huliiings 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.
S. 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 happi
ness and ambition, and it lies in the
stomach. If you're going to uplift a
man, you’ve got to uplift his stomach
first, and you elevate his mind only
when you elevate his stomach, for
that is the source of all our emo
tion*.
May Stir Up Trouble.
"I don't know whether I'm going to
accomplish anything by working In
these restaurants, but if I can ac
complish what I'm after I’ll stir up a
lot of trouble for the men who own
these restaurant buildings. They are
the first people we must get after in
the campaign for better kitchens.
They rent buildings for restaurant
purposes that are not fit to be rented
as stables. The walls are filled with
nesting places for microbes nd In
serts, nnd ideas of cleanliness appear
to be almost unknown. There ought
to be a law putting any man in Jail
who rents such a building for eating
purpose*.
for Restaurant Inspector.
"And after all the property owners
are put In jail and the restaurant
buildings are fitted properly for res
taurants, we should have a public res.
taurant inspector to see that they are
kpnt clean. We have a Smoke In
spector—though he doesn’t seem to do
much inspecting; and a Fire Inspector
and a Building Inspector, and an In
spector for everything under the sun
except the very thing that needs one.”

Federate, Reported Fleeing to U
S. Border, Believed on Way
to Recapture Juarez.
EL PASO, TEXAS, Dec. 6.—“The
Federals are coming!’'
This cry was raised in Juarez to
day when word was received that
General Villa was returning to the
Mexican city at the head of troops
with which he set out to occupy Chi
huahua. Activity at the Constitu
tionalist headquarters gave rise to
the belief that a battle was expected
and that the Federal troops who are
reported marching from Chihuahua
to Ojinaga with a great band of refu
gees had deflected their course and
were coming to recapture Juarez.
The rumors were received with
credence on this sida of the Rio
Grande, as was evidenced by ac
tion taken by the United States mili
tary authorities.
The headquarters of the Second
Cavalry Brigade was moved here
from Fort Bliss to-day, so that Gen
eral Scott, the brigade commander,
and Major Robert E. Michie, brigade
adjutant, can keep in closer touch
with affairs on the border.
Troops were shifted, and now prac
tically all the soldiers in this vicinity
are camped within the city limits of
El Paso, within easy distance of the
international bridge spavining the Rio
Grande in Juarez.
A battalion of the Twelfth Cavalry,
which has been stationed at the Ship
Rock Indian agency to quell any out
break among the Navajo Indians, has
been ordered to El Paso, and probably
will arrive to-morrow.

‘Doped’ and Robbed
SPARTANBURG, S. C., Dec. 6.—J.
G. Lumsden, of Santee. Ga., was fined
$5 in the Police Court to-day on a

where he claims he had been on a
hunting trip with George W. Wil
liams. a wealthy resident of that city,

under the influence of the drink. Lo
cal parties, believing his story, paid
his fine. A bank in his home town
later wired him money.

Police Force Probe
Fails to Find 'Leak'
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 likes the
task given it, can make almost any
work seem like play—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 things
in the exhibit which make it worth
while.
There are panels illustrating the
wo/k 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 be doing a grea t
deal of the work that Is recommended
for the ideal home.

City Electrician R. C. Turner took
Aldine 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 called a liar,
blackguard and grafter, but smilingly
found solace in a quotation from Wil
liam Jennings Bryan.
“I seem to have drawn Chambers’
fire at last,” ne said. “I am very
well satisfied with the situation.
“William Jennings Bryan says that
every iwin in public life must stand
a certain amount of criticism. 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 Turner’s personal
attack on him, Mr. Chambers, ex-
Councllman 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.
“What did he get It for?
“He admits having received a gold
watch from the contractors.
“What did he get that for?
”A8 to Mr. Turner’s charge that
I received campaign contributions
from the Georgia Railway and Power
Company, I answered that during an
investigation by the General Council
last year, which tody 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. In Denver, where
the snowfall had stopped, the average
depth was 45 Inches.
In Denver no street cars have
moved for nearly 48 hours. Every
hotel is crowded to capacity. School-
houses are filled with refugees who
were caught away from their homes
by the storm. The bread supply in
Denver was exhausted to-day. Be
cause of the strike which has been on
in Southern Colorado for several
weeks a coal famine threatens.
Ten shopgirls have not been heard
from since they started home Thurs
day night. Twenty-four miners are
missing near Canon City. Two stage
coaches are lost near Boulder and one
is missing near Buena Vista. It is
feared that the drivers and occupants
have been frozen to death.
