Real Estate Experts Predict Great
increase in Values in this
Charming Suburb.
No real estate development project
ed In Atlanta In years has been more
talked about than the conversion of
Silver Lake and its surrounding ter
ritory into the beautiful residence
community of Silver- I^ike Estates.
Since the present project was con
ceived and planned by L. P. Gotten -
field, who has put back of It the
whole strength of his forceful real
estate organization, Silver Lake, long
a well-known beauty spot, has been
more In the public eye than any sim
ilar residence development In this
section of the South. It Is known, it
might almost be said, from Maine to
Texas and from Iowa to Key West.
And from the first superficial view
of it, that of a somewhat daring un
dertaking, it is now generally consid
ered one of the best business real es
tate propositions Atlanta has ever
presented. So strong has this impres
sion become that people of Atlanta
find the South have already subscrib
ed $300,000 of the $500,000 capital re
quired for purchase and development
of the property, and prospective sub
scriptions from interested parties, it
is said, will soon till out the required
amount.
Investors Realize Value.
Those who have investigated have
convinced themselves of the value of
the project. It has been shown where,
at conservative prices, the residence
lots in developed Silver Lake Estates
will sell for $2,500,000 or more, a
profit of four for one to the investors.
The splendid quality of this invest
ment has been widely commented on,
and prominent Georgians have spoken
of the splendid future of Silver Lake
as a residence section.
Hon. John Temple Graves, editor of
The Atlanta Georgian and Sunday
American, an Atlantan who knows
this property well, says of It, among
other things:
Opinion of Colonel Graves. ,
"The soil about Oglethorpe will be
almost sacred soil. A home about
Oglethorpe w ill be beyond all value.
Silver Lake Estates will be girt by
streets of golden association and op
portunity. Happy the man whose
home is planted there."
Speaking of the investment side of
Silver Lake Estates, Henry <’. Rag-
ley. pf Bagley, Willet & Paine, gen
eral agents for the Penn Mutual Life
Insurance Company, who is familiar
with every foot of the Silver Lake
property, says:
“The plan seems to me, in every
particular, both attractive and sub
stantial, and one that must strongly
appeal to the investor. Your proposal
of a land dividend, giving an almost
immediate return, while the subscrib
er still retains his stock and i>artici-
pates in all future profits from the
sale of the property, is a particularly
valuable feature. It is my opinion
that the Silver Lake property, as soon
as developed, is going to be in good
demand, and that those associated
with you will enjoy most gratifying
profits from the sale."
Residence value and investment
value are here presented by men not
only well known, but well qualified to
speak upon these points, anil hundreds
of similar expressions. Mr. Rottentield
states, may be had from those who
have Investigated Silver Lake or who
have invested in Silver Lake Es
tates.
Deadly New Germ
In Cream Kills 11
Special Cable to The American.
P/JlRIS, Dec. 13.—Important re- |
.searches have followed the deaths of J
eleven persons who partook of cream |
at 4 wedding feast in Cholet recently.
Professor Chantemesse and Dr. Rap- I
pin have. dis«overed a new enemy of t
mankind, of great deadlines* and j
most peculiar characteristics. They
have asked the Academy of Science
for permission to call the new microbe
"bacillus Jiypertoxicus."’or, in Eng
lish. "theninusually poisonous germ."
(’lie most noticeable peculiarly of
this bacilluc# is Its continual ^hang
ing ir. shape, color and size. Some-
j times it is only a thousandth of a
millimeter long and at other times it
! will grow to five times that length.
Its extreme deadliness was shown
j by an experiment on three rabbits
I and six guinea pigs. Inoculated with
the bacillus, they died in leas than
twelve hours.

CROOKSTON, MINN., Dec. 13.—
When St. Vincent went dry, Chri3

Dialogue of “The Auctioneer” Is
Communicated to Finger Tips,

her favorite actor, she said, and when
at last lie stood bowing before her.
she grasped his outstretched hand
and, in her clear treble voice, said,
very distinctly:
‘“Oh. Mr. Warfield, this Is certain
ly ahaking hands with a ghost. Ah,
how I did love you iq "The Return
of Peter Grimm." I wish that I might
see you in that play once again. You
don't know’, you cg.n not know, what
Peter Grimm meant to me. who have
striven all my life to hear and be
heard out of the darkness, just as
your spirit did when it came back to
earth.’ "
As Miss Keller left him the great
actor said: "She is greater than Na

Charity Worker Asks
Systematic Giving
ATGESTA, Dec. 13.—That Augusta
could’ give ha'f as much a* she does
each year to charity and get better re
sults than she gets now. is the asser
tion of Dr. James Buchanan, secretary
of the Associated Charities of Rich
mond. w’ho is here at the request of a
number of leading Augusta ministers,
to assist in the organization of charity
work in Augusta.
Systematic giving is the keynote in
the charit* - question^ says Dr. Buchan-
An, who declares that with systems
tized effort there should he not a single
home in the city not visited by Santa
Claus, whereas now there are undoubt
edly many homes missed by St. Nich
olas, because the charitable organiza
tions double up on some people and
miss others altogether.
Dean of University
Defends the Tango
SEATTLE, Dec. 13.—Milnor Rob
erts, dean of the School of Mines at
the University of Washington, thinks
that the tango and other fancy dances
are pretty and undeserving of the at
tacks made on them. He was one of
the invited guests at the Tea I>an-
sgnte given at. the Hotel Washington,
at which the tango was danced.
"While I am not an authority on
dancing at all, the tango seems to me
a pretty dance when it done cor
rectly,” he said. "There is nothing
vulgar about it."
Cupid Aids Marriage
Clerk to Higher Job
ALLENTOWN. PA., Dec. 13.—One
of the most interesting results of (he
recent election in Lehigh County was
the big majority rolled up with the
aid of Cupid by Arthur J. D. Koenig,
the Democratic candidate for Clerk
of the Orphans’ Court.
.\|r. Koenig has for four years been
thef marriage license clerk of Lehigh,
and during that time issued more.
than 7,000 marriage licenses. He had
his candidacy in view and kept on
good terms with all the bridegrooms. !
Cafe Man Missing;
Left $4,000 Debts,
SPARTANRCRG, S. C., Dec. 13.—
Harry Gamadamls, proprietor of the I
largest Greek restaurant in this city, I
has disappeared, leaving liabilities, it
is alleged, of about $4,000. Attorneys I
for the creditors say they will appiv
to the court for a receiver to take
charge of the business.
It is thought Gamadamls is in At
lanta, w here he was married.
An_absorbing story was published,
telling how Miss Helen Keller, who is
to appear here at the Auditorium-
Armory on tfle evening of December
20. under the auspices and for the
benefit of the Atlanta Chapter of the
Daughters of the Confederacy, "saw”
David Warfield in a performance of I
"The Auctioneer."
Anyone inclined to believe that this,
blind and deaf girl did not actually
see and enjoy the per formance would j
be thoroughly convinced after read-|
ing the story. Of course, it was pos
sible only through the intercession
and remarkable ability to convey im- |
pressions of Miss Keller’s teacher and
companion for 26 years, Mrs. Macy.
The writer tells first how Miss Kel
ler sat in the foyer with Mrs. Macy
and a friend. Miss Moore, and en
joyed the arrival of fashionable folks.
She chatted in a lively manner over
euch group of arrivals, and seemed to
know many of the celebrities.
Nothing can reveal how r Miss Keller
"saw" the performance better than*to
quote from the article.
She "Sees’’ the Play.
“The process by which Mrs. Macy
and Miss Moore communicated the
details of w hat was going on on the
stage w’as as complicated as it was
interetsing. The major portion of
the labor, of course, fell upon Mrs.
Macy. She it was who deftly and
swiftly communicated all the dia
logue, together with the attendant
“business,” provided the latter did not
become too much involved, in which
case Miss Moore came to the rescue
as a sort of auxiliary.
“That Helen Keller should respond
to the moving pathos of David War-
field’s acting is not so remarkable, in
view of the fact that she has, of ne
cessity, a highly spiritualized equip
ment for the sensing of emotion, and
that Warfield is pre-eminently a mas
ter in the art of transmuting the
spiritual into tangible terms of drama.
What is more remarkable is the fact
that, deaf and blind, this girl should
respond so instantaneously to all the
delicate inflections of David War-
field’s comedy. She responded to every
nuance thereof with a promptness
that was positively uncanny.
"It was in the Belasco green room,
after the piay, however, that Miss
Keller displayed her greatest virtu
osity. She had long wanted to meet
