Dll MILEAGE
Two Lines Retaliate for Defeat Police Commission Demotes “Vice
by Travelers by Withdrawing
Interchangeable Books.
J’ii® Central and Atlanta, Birming
ham and Atlantic railroads have noti
fied the Georgia Railroad Commis
sion that on and after Decembed 17
all interchangeable mileage books,
good foV transportation wholly with
in the State, will be withdrawn, and
thereafter only such mileage books ns
are sold bj' the individual roads, good
for travel on those roads alone, will
be offered.
The Central will issue strictly in
trastate mileage at the present price
of 2 cent.* per mile, good only on
tjie Central, while the A., B. & A.
will confine its sales to intrastate
penny script, good only under the
same regulations.
The railroads, therefore, apparently
have “gone the limit” in restricting
mileage use in Georgia, under the
terms of the State Commission’s or
der, and the question now arises
whether the roads, in withdrawing
interchangeable mileage, good who'ly
within the State, have not- violated
a Commission order that may pre
cipitate further litigation by the trav
eling men.
Ignore Regulations.
There is a regulation which says
that no facility, once having "ben
granted by the railroads, whether
a oluntarily or otherwise, shall be
withdrawn without the Commission's
permission.
This permission neither the Central
nor the A., B. &. A. has secured of
asked for.
Chairman Murphey Candler, in ren
dering a dissenting opinion to the
Commission's original order, which
order subsequently was upheld by the
Supreme Court, sets forth as one of
his reasons for opposing the order at
the time the fear that the very thing
would happen which has happened—
that is, the complete withdrawal in
Georgia of all interchangeable mile
age. good wholly within the State.
As the situation now shapes itself,
traveling men in Georgia must use
for transportation wholly within
Georgia a separate mileage book for
every road, no matter how short or
long, used in traveling. They will
have to carry two or three dozen
mileage books, and must tie up hun
dreds of dollars, where before they
had only to tie up from $25 to $50.
Other Roads Likely to Follow.
And even Individual mileage books,
good only in Georgia, must be used
in cities of over 10,COO under the old
exchange system, which p ovldes that
the strips must be taken up tit the
ticket windows and trip tickets given
by the agents therefor.
All mileage books sold before D?- j
cember 17 will lx honored under the
present regulations, but books se
cured after that date must bemused
under the now.
Presumably the other roads of the
State will follow the lead of the Cen
tral and the A., P & A., and it is
regarded as practically certain that
tlie traveling men will now ask that
the legality of the railroads’ position
be tested before the Commission, aud
in the courts, if necessary, as to
whether the roads have the right to
withdraw State interchangeable mile
age without the State 'Commission'^
consent.

Cardinal Oreglia Is
Laid to Rest in Rome
Squad’’ Leader Recommended
for Promotion.
J. A. Hollis, ranking as a patrol
man until a feu hours before Wed
nesday, was appointed head of At
lanta’s “vice squad” to replace J. W.
Barfield, whose removal and demo
tion created a sensation at Thursday
night's meeting of the Police Board.
As Chief Beavers’ right-hand man
in the war on evil resorts, BarfleUi
had made a reputation that led many
to believe that he would be promoted
to a sergeant by the board. His dis
missal trom the leadership of the
vice squad, therefore, was the more
surprising and was the chief topic
of conversation Wednesday in police
circles.
Barfield was nominated and rec
ommended as sergeant by Chief
Beavers and tne action of the Police
Board was in direct opposition to his
expressed wishes. Hollis, however,
was named as second choice by the
Chief and was elected a sergeant
without dissent, being appointed head
of the “vice squad” Wednesday fore
noon.
Barfield in the future will rank as
a patrolman. The flghr against him
was waged by Chairman Mason, of
the Police Board, who told his fol
low-members that he was forced to
oppose the vice squad head because
of many reports of dissension that
had corne to him. Tie had understood
that the men working under Barfield
were dissatisfied with his adminis
tration and that much discord had
resulted.
At the same time he named Bar-
field for sergeant, Chief Reavers made
the same recommendation in behhif
of Alfred D. Duck and George A.
Maddox, roundsmen. Duck and Mad
dox were elected. Barfield’s name
was rejected by a vote of 8 to 2.
Commissioners Smith, Vernoy and
Garner cast the favorable votes. Hol
lis then was named by Beavers In
place of Barfield and was chosen
without opposition. The three ser
geants will begin their new duties at
once.
The election of the three sergeants
followed action by the Police Board
some time ago to abolish the posi
tion of roundsman. Barfield. Buck
and Maddox, because of their posi
tions as roundsmen, were consid
ered in line for promotion, but a few
days before the board meeting there
were well authenticated reports of a
strong fight being made against Bar-
field.
Barfield has been long in the po
lice service and was made a mem
ber of the “vice squad" at its or
ganization.

La Vida
A Corset That Harmonizes With
Present-Day Fashions
The new models of La Vida Corsets
are fine!
The makers seem to have caught the
underlying idea of the new fashions and
have, with remarkable accuracy,
evolved corsets that fit in, that dove-tail
with tiie new fashions.
\\ e hear a great deal about tiie new
silhouette, the new uncorseted figure;
we hear a great deal more than we find
when we come to getting the corset that
really lends itself helpfully to the un-
corseted figure.
But the La Vida people have built
these “free and easy” corsets so success
fully that we can recommend them to
our patrons with the confidence that we
shall be doing them a service.
La Vida Corsets are right in detail;
the result of thorough corset knowledge
working in harmony with the style
arbiters.
However these points, the details
that make La Vida Corsets a success are
hard to put into words; there are no de-
seribable tricks about the fashioning of
them; rather a woman likes and appre
ciates a La Vida AFTER she has tried
one on. Then she comes to realize that
in some * unusual way it fits and con
forms and imparts to her figure that sil-r
liouette she would acquire. Let’s say
again, that it is the result of thorough corset knowledge that goes
into the making of every La Vida.
Right now—to the end of this week—
Mrs. Marvin, An Expert Corsetiere, Is Here
demonstrating La Vidas, and women may well look upon her
demonstration as an opportunity.
She “knows how” and she lias the corsets here to Tit you as you
and the fashions say you should Ik* fitted. These are some of the
models she uses. The variety'shows that any woman will be fitted
in the model right for her.
At $5.00, a brocaded corset for the
medium figure. Not an extreme line in
it, and one of the most favored models
for that reason. Low bust, medium
long skirt.
At $5.00, a coutil corset for the tall,
slender figure. Elastic front gore, soft
boning, long in the back; but the bon
ing in the back conforms to the figure
when sitting—a fact worth noting.
At $5.00, a soft coutil corset for the
medium and slender figure; free hips,
"boneless"—splendid for the dancers.
One and one-half-inch bust, long back.
The same model at $4.50 and $3.50.
At $8.50, an extra long imported
coutil corset for the medium figure that
requires a bit heavier than the ordinary-
corset; elastic gored back, elastic
lacings over the abdomen. The same
in a grade at $6.50.
At $8.50, a broche corset for the me
dium figure; free hip, low bust, extra
long back.
At $9.00, an imported coutil corset
for the medium or large figure—of
superb lines—long back and full hips,
elastic lacings in front.
It Would Seem That Everyone Will
Get Chamberlin-Johnson-DuBose Co.
Handkerchiefs
There* is certainly every reason why those
who give handkerchiefs should give Chamber-
lin-Johnson-1 )uBose Company handkerchiefs.
Take the stock, box by box, front one end
of the long counter (they occupy extra space
for the ('hristmas season) to the other, the
values are finest. We have what we eall very
happy connections over in Handkerchief Isle
that make it possible for us to sell these little
lots of linen at lower prices than we could did
we have to depend upon those who buy their
handkerchiefs through New York. And, judg
ing by tin- crowds that hover around the hand
kerchief section, this seems to be pretty well
understood. It does not take a woman long to
discover where the prettiest things are!
Prices begin at 10c for all-linen handker
chiefs—the men’s size is 18 inches square!
Then come corner embroidered handker
chiefs for women at 15c. And initialed hand
kerchiefs—and the big world of novelties at
25c. < Hove handkerchiefs, unique embroidery-
designs without end. initials done with as
much care and neatness as if they were made
by those who will give them—and the Christ
inas boxes (of four different designs 1 , at $1.00!
Yon will enjoy choosing from such a
varietv.
Two particular ly
bright and interesting
spots right now are the
neckwear section and
the jewelry and leather
goods section.
In the neckwear are
some attractive gift
boxes that are coming
in for great favor---
it may be a tie,
a bow, a collar, a set,
and it my be found for
as little as 50c or as
much as $10.00. Every
one is “gifty.* ’
In the jewelry and
leather goods there is
an infinite variety of
novelties— vanities,
pencils, broaches, hair
ornaments, beads, shoe
buckles, desk sets,
traveling cases, collar
bags, drinking cups—
the list grows longer as
we name it. Let a visit
show what we have
gathered for you.
