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 ihe Ogle thorpe worker* whirl In nnd Kettle that qiiarter-of-a - million fund In one w eek Th» > have no** distance yet to *•> That distance represent* $80,642. Th\t ■means something more than $10,000 a day for the i\ working day*. That is a big undertaking Also that is the kind of undertaking that Atlanta takes to—and goes through with, and make* the Kind of brilliant play that once in a while fbv some envious sister city) la called "grandstanding.” Rut 1t Isn't grandstanding hike genius, the Oglethorpe campaign com mittees have won their preatlge and their silt * css by dint of sheer ha”d work, applied to the fruitful field of the Atlanta spirit. The committees raised $92,689 in two weeks, and now they are out to settle tilings well before Christmas. The $92,069 represents more than a thousand subscriptions. Of the thou sand and more, those subscriptions that were not really large ones were of the small aihl welcome kind that Indira;* a wholesome feeling abroad In all the city, among the people not of much wealth, hut with an abiding faith in Atlanta, and a. belief in the great future of < iglethorpe University. And so the workers say — "The final week is on!" t To Raise $5,000 More. "My committee will undertake t.» ; raise $5,000 next week, and more it possible." said I - P. Bottenfleld at tlie Haturdav Oglethorpe luncheon, and in it was the expression of fhe spirit with w hich the canvassing com mittees will go fo work for the final week. t'oming from a committee which now leads the list, with the excep tion of the central committee, which Urns been de oting itself to big sub scriptions, M Bottenfleld'* 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 $60,000 more in one week nil of the committees must Increase.j their averages. It is the final lap of ; the race, and it must be run at full ' speed. For the last two weeks the canvass er* have averaged about $47,000 a week, and on the wind-up they must -add $13,000 to the average. When called upon at the luncheon to know if they would make an effori to do this by Chairman Ivan K. Al len, every one of the 40 committee- men present stood up and pledgod himself to his best efforts The $4,882 reported at Saturday * 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 W. English, as well as the campaign committee, headed by Chairman Ivan JO. Allen, are confident that tiie work can be completed this j week and that announcement of the completion will be made In the At- , lanta papers next Sunday morning. That the young men of Atlanta, i largely, are going to rebuild Ogle thorpe it? evidenced not only by the | personnel of the canvassing commit - j tecs engaged in the work, but al.c* i by the intense interest displayed by I students of the Atlanta high schools. Joel Hunter has had especial charge i of soliciting subscriptions from the student 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 $wft 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 ] •• feels assured of n good subscrip tion from this institution Good subscriptions will also be forthcom ing from the Girls' High School and other educational institutions, where the students seem unusually interest ed in tne progress of education in At lanta. English Sends Message. Dr. Thorn 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 seep in At lanta for the quality and size oT tho gifts. Captain English urged the committees to do their best for Just one more week, and he said Atlanta would have Oglethorpe. One of the interesting feature* nf the Oglethorpe campaign 1* that the *ub§crip4lons as a rule are either small or large The subscription* running from $5 up to $100 are nu merous. while there are more $1,000 subscriptions and over than were ever before secured in any campaign of tills kind In Atlanta. There Is a remarkable absence of subscriptions of $200. $250 and $500. While some subscriptions of this size end 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- Campaign to Raise l : imd for Oglethorpe Sets Atlanta Record A TLANTA'S campaign for Oglethorpe University la conceded to have been, to date, one of the moat remark able the city ever has known. Here la Atlanta’s splendid roll of honor for the two weeks ended Saturday, showing what each can vassing committee has accom- plished: Central committee. Ivan E. Al len, chairman, $32,981, L. P, Bottenfield’s committee, $8,471. Dr. J. Cheston Kings commit tee. $7,350. Dr. H. J. Gaertner, who has no committee, but is a whole team in himself, $7,332. Henry Schaul’s committee, $b, 529.

In other words, there were nearly 2,000 more Atlantans who gave to the old fund of nine years ago than have yet given to Oglethorpe. It Is going lo he the work of the canvassing committees the next wee!; to overcome this discrepancy and g, t more Atlantans on the present list There Is no doubt that there are many more Atlantans who would bo glad'to subscribe to Oglethorpe, and It Is going to be the work of the com mittees for the next six working daws to Hud them. Wells Contests Vote At Stone Mountain The election of Phil McCurdy an Mayor of Stone Mountain will be contested by the defeated candidate, Dr. J It.

IS.—Judge Frank I. Duncan, at Towaon, forbade the clerk of the County Court to Is sue a license for the marriage of William Still, $65, to Bertha Groves, his 12-year-old housekeeper. Still, accompanied by the girl, showing the written consent of her parents, asked for a license. He was refused because the consent was not signed by two other witnesses ‘American Mon Just Lovable Babies-Gaby Shooed Away From Prince of Wales, King-Wrecker Still Has ‘Man-phobia.’ r ST. LOUIS, Dec. 13.—The 'man- phobia" of Gaby Deslys still rages with unbroken violence, in spite of the sedative that was only a little while ago applied to her when Queen Mary or England shooed her away from the Prince of Wales. Here Gaby is in St. 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 j big babicsr" | Gaby has hardly recovered from the shock of being declared anathema in England, when the bishops and cler gymen of the Church of England painted'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 the gaze of the youthful Crown Prim e, and never—no, never— must a Mantle! episode blot tha ’scutcheon of Great Britain. Mayor Approves of Raise for Old Foe Friends of City Attorney James L. Mayd&n are congratulating him on the fact that Mayor Woodward has approved an increased in the salary of his office frAm $3,000 to $3,600 a year. While the increase Is for the next term, there is practically no doubt that Mr. Afayson 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. ‘Rough Rider' Medal Won by Georgia Boy CULVER, IND., Dec. 18.—Reuben Grove Clark, of Savannah, has been awarded a medal as second best "rough rider" at Culver.

E, ‘Man Made Pig What He Is To-day’-Peters BOSTON. Dec. 13.—Offend not the finer sensibilities of your pigs, If you have any, is the advice of I>r. 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 skin*. The pig should have a clean, dry he'd to sleep in. Us pen should be ke.jt clean, and it should be properly fed." Dr Peters asserted that hens, os well as ’'Vo, need clean surroundings. Big Figures in National Politics ‘Overthrown’ or ‘Shot’ at Press Travesty. WASHINGTON, Dee. IS -The Gridiron Club wra* transformed Into an "Americanized Mexican Revolu tion," in which practically ©v**rv fig ure in national politic* of this country was either overthrown or shot, figu 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 House office* 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 I seldom misbehave myself in this way and am ashamed and disappointed because I <‘an 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 sh'afts were directed were present at the banquet. A ragged army (‘lad in gaudy uni forms opened, the Mexican skit when they appeared in the dining room, led by Bryanna, whose chief lieutenant w as one Tumulte. Vice President Mar- s hall era., who demanded his rights, was ejected by the dictator. Then Bryanntw^&ised 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 his astute maneuvers, overthrew the dictator and ordered his execution. The, new dictator killed Senators O’Gormano, Reedavera and Hitch- koko, and then ^yas overthrown by William Randolph Hersta. Moose- bullera 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 ^udden appearance of Mrs. Pankhurst, who demanded "votes for women.” f Says Sage Tea Mixed With Sul phur Restores Natural Color and Lustre.

"We went right aiiead with our work," said H. M. Atkinson, chairman of fhe executive committee of the corporation. "We were certain of our rights in the matter and for this reason we regarded it as the best business policy not to shut down the leajit bit.
