NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—The trans-

more than 1,000,000 drug users tn the

Committees Are Enthused by Call
to Greater Efforts ->— Will Try
Hard to Raise Remaining Part
of Quarter Million This Week.
And right here is where the Ogle
thorpe workers whirl In and settle
that rjuarter-of-a-million fund in one
v ceK
Tho> have some distance yet to go.
That distance represents 160,642. That
means something more than $10,000 a
day for the «lx working days.
That is a big undertaking.
Also that is the kind of undertaking
that Atlanta takes to—and goes
through with, and makrs the kind of
brilliant play that once In a while (by
some envious sister city) Is call «i
"grandstanding."
But it isn't grandstanding Like
genius, the Oglethorpe campaign com
mittees have won their prestige and
their su< cess by dint of sheer hard
■work, applied to the fruitful Held of
the Atlanta spirit.
The committees raised $92,660 in
two weeks, and now they are out to
settle things well before Christinas.
The $02,669 represents more than a
thousand .subscription!. Of the thou
sand and more, those subscriptions
that were not really laree ones were
of the small and welcome kind that
indicate a wholesome feeling abroad
Jn all the city, among the people not
of much wealth, but with an abiding
faith in Atlanta, and a belief In the
#?rpat future of Oglethorpe University.
And so the workers say
"The final week is on!"
To Raise $5,000 More.
"My committee will undertake to j
raise $5,000 next week, and more 'f
possible." said L. P. Bottenfleld at
the Saturdav Oglethorpe luncheon,
und in It was the expression of the
tsplrit with which the canvassing com
mittees will go to work for the Anal
week.
‘ Coming from a committee which
now leads the list, with the excep
tion of the central committee, which !
Jhas hern devoting itself to big 8iir>-
tB-riptione. Mr. Bottenfleld’s statement
evoked warm applause and brought
statements from other committeemen
present that they would lend their
best efforts to the work of the clos
ing week of the campaign.
To raise $60,0fto more in one week
nil of the committees must Increase (
their averages. It is the final lap of
the race, and it must be run at full
epeed.
For the last two weeks the canvas3- \
ers have averaged about $47,000 a
week, and on the wind-up they must i
Aidd $13,000 to the average.
When called upon Ht the luncheon
to know if they would make an eff *ri
to do this by Chairman Ivan E. Al-
•3en, every one of the 40 committed-
men present stood up and pledged
hdnself to his best efforts
Th<- $4,882 reported at Saturday s
luncheon brought the grand total for
Oglethopre up to $189,358, leaving but
$60,642 yet to be raised.
Hope to Complete Fund.
The executive committee, headed by
Captain James \V. English, as well as
the campaign committee, headed by
Chairman Ivan E. Allen, are confident
that the work can be completed this
week and that announcement of the
completion will be made in the At
lanta papers next Sunday morning.
That the young men of Atlanta,
largely, are going to rebuild Ogla-
thorpe is evidenced not only by ‘he
personnel of the canvassing commit
tees engaged in the work, but also
bv th>‘ intense interest displayed by
Ktudent-s of the Atlanta high schools.
Joe l Hunter has had especial charge
of soliciting subscriptions from the
etudent bodies of these institutions,
and in a brief talk Saturday an
nounced his belief that the subscrip
tion of the Boys’ High School stu
dent body, which has already gone
beyond $500, would probably reach
$750 early in the week.
Mr. Hunter also made a speech be
fore the students of the Tech High
School, where he found the same
splendid enthusiasm that was mani
fested at the Boys’ High School, and
be feels assured of a good subscrip
tion from this institution. Good
subscriptions will also be forthcom
ing from the Girls' High School and
other educational Institutions, where
t • student! seem unusually Interest
ed in tne progress of education in At
lanta
English Sends Message.
Dr '1'horn well Jacobs brought the
committees a message from Captain
English, chairman of the executive
committee. Captain English declared
that this ^was the most magnificent
campaign he'had ever seen in At
lanta for the quality and size of the
gifts Captain English urged the
committees to do their bast for just
one more week, and ho said Atlanta
would have Oglethorpe.
One of the interesting features of
the Oglethorpe, campaign is that the
subscriptions as a rule are either
small or large The subscriptions
running from $5 up to $100 are .m-
meroue. while there are more $1,000
subscriptions and over than were ever
before secured in any campaign of
this kind in Atlanta.
There is a remarkable absence of
subscriptions of $200. $250 and $500.
“While some subscriptions of this size
and class have been turned in. it is
.an interesting fact that there are more
subscriptions of $1,000 and over than
there are of $250 and $500 combined.
It is also noteworthy that there are,
to date, but few more than 1,000 sub-

Porter Langston’s committee,

This makes a total of $92,669

what had been previously se
cured, $189,358, and leaving $60,-

scrlhers to the Oglethorpe fund,
whereas there were 3,000 subscribers
to the old university fund. In other
words, there were nearly 2,000 more
Atlantans who cave to the old fund
of nine years ago than have yet given
to Oglethorpe.
It Is going to be the work of the
canvassing committees the next week
to overcome this discrepancy and get
more Atlantans on the present list
There is no doubt that there are
many more Atlantans who would he
glad to subscribe to Oglethorpe, and
It Is going to be the work of the com
mittees for the next six working davs
to find them.

‘American Men Just
Lovable Babies ’-Gaby
Shooed Away From Prince of Wales,
King-Wrecker Still Has
‘Man-phobia.’
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 13.—The "man-
phobia" of Gaby Deslys still rages
W'ith unbroken violence, in spite of the
sedative }hat was only a little while
ago applied to her when Queen Alary
of England shooed her away from the
Prince of Wales.
Here Gaby is in ^t. Louis, raving
over the American man, analyzing
him, dissecting him, adoring him.
"An American for me,” said she to
day. "They are nothing but lovable
big babies."
Gaby has hardly recovered from the
shock of being declared anathema in
England, when the bishops and cler
gymen of the Church of England
puinted her very black in every man
ner and with all the zeal known to
the cloth. This was done at the be
hest of Queen Mary. Gaby had at
tracted tiie gaze of the youfhful
Crown Prince, and never—no. never —
must a Manuel episode blot tho
’scutcheon of Great Britain.
Mayor Approves of
Raise for Old Foe
Friends of -City Attorney James L.
Mayson are congratulating him on
the fact that Mayor Woodward has
approved an increased in the salary
of his office from $3,000 to $3,600 a
year. While the increase is for the
next term, there is practically no
doubt that Mr. Mayson will be re
elected if he runs, and it Is generally
understood that he will again be a
candidate.
Mayor Woodward vetoed a raise
for the City Attorney several weeks
ago. It was passed again as a new
matter, along with the increase for
school teachers, firemen and police
men. by a unanimous vote of Council.
Mayor Woodward’s approval evoked
some surprise, since he and the City
Attorney are old political enemies.
‘Man Made Pig What I
He Is To-day’-Peters
BOSTON, Dec. 13—Offend not the
finer sensibilities of your pigs, 1f you
have any. is the advice of Dr. Austin
Peters, of Harvard.
"The pig is naturally a gentleman; |
It is man who has made him what he
is. The popular idea that broken
glass, empty cans and tin covers are
appreciated as a diet by swine is one
of the popular fallacies.
"Neither do they appreciate lemon
rinds, orange peels and banana skins.
The pig should have a clean, dry bid
to sleep in, its pen should be kept
clean, and it should be properly fed.”
Dr. Peters asserted that hens, as
well as need clean surroundings.
Big Figures in National Politics
‘Overthrown’ or ‘Shot’ at
Press Travesty.
WASHINGTON', Her IS. The
Gridiron Club was transformed into
an “Americanized Mexican Revolu
tion," in which practically every fig
ure in national politics of this country
| wap either overthrown or shot, figu-
j ratively speaking, of course; in which
Mrs. Pankhurst exploded a bomb,
when she appeared on the scene with
"votes for women," and in which
other travesties on current events
were enacted, when that famous body
of newspaper correspondents enter
tained a large number of distin
guished guests at. its annual Decem
ber dinner to-night.
Five new members were initiated
into the organization, the ceremonies
being public and displaying many
amusing features. Those admitted
were E. A. Fowler, of The New York
Sun; Arthur B. Krock, of The Louis
ville Courier-Journal; John P. Ryan,
of The San Francisco Post; Fred
Essary, of The Baltimore Sun, and
Thomas W. Brahany, of the White.

Wilson Sends Regrets.
A letter from President Wilson,
read before the meeting by President
Rudolph Kauffmann. expressed the
Chief Executive’s regret at being pre
vented by a bad cold from being pres
ent at the banquet board.
"I am deeply chagrined and greatly
disappointed," the letter said, "that a
very severe cold still keeps me in
doors and will prevent my attending
the banquet of the club this evening;
deeply chagrined because 1 seldom
misbehave myself in this way and am
ashamed and disappointed because I
can not do so now.
"I was looking forward'with keen
anticipation of pleasure to this event.
I am sure that I will miss you much
more than you will miss me, and I
wish for you the jolliest and most re
warding evening."
Americanized Revolution.
In the Americanized Mexican revo
lution the club placed national figures
of this country in the Southern re
public and followed with keen humor
the political fortunes which have ap-"
peared and disappeared there. Prac
tically all of those at whom the shafts
were directed were present at the
banquet.
A ragged army clad in gaudy uni
forms opened the Mexican skit when
they appeared in the dining room, led
by Bryanna, whose chief lieutenant
weis one Tumulte. Vice President Mar-
shallera, who demanded his rights,
was ejected by the dictator.
Then Bryanna raised his own sal
ary, made all of his soldiers generals,
ordered the execution of several Con
gressmen, and ordered the death of
Champere Clarkista. The latter, by
hi» astute maneuvers, overthrew the
dictator and ordered his execution.
The new dictator killed Senators
O’Gormano, Reedavera and Hitch-
koko, and then was overthrown by
William Randolph Hersta. Moose-
hullera for the fourth time demanded
his rights, but was scuttled when
Hersta threatened to print the full
reports of his speeches.
Following a quick succession of
events of this nature, the entire army
was routed by the sudden appearance
of Mrs. Pankhurst, who demanded
"votes for women."

Holders of securities In the Georgia
Railway and Power Company are con
gratulating themselves on the fact
that the corporation now has a clear
title to the 258 acres of disputed land
in the Tallulah River gorge, where
two dams and a power station had
already been constructed for the sup
plying of power to Atlanta and other
cities.
The State Supreme Court Saturday
handed down a decision affirming the
ruling of Judge J. B. J ones, of the
Rabun Superior Court, who denied
the State a. new' trial in its long-
drawn-out fight, to oust the company
from this property, after a verdict in
favor of the company had been re
turned.
While the officials of the company
were confident of winning every step
of the legal contest, the long litiga
tion naturally made Investors In the
securities a little apprehensive and
the victory was welcomed on this ac
count.
"We went right ahead with our
work,’’ said H. M. Atkinson, chairman
of the executive committee of the
corporation. “We were certain of
our rights in the matter and for this
reason w r e regarded it as the best
business policy not to shut down the
least bit. The suit did not incon
venience us, except that it naturally
worried some of the Investors, who
thought that the State might be suc
cessful in its suit for ejectment.”

from the use of canned pumpkin is
far greater than from any other
