streets.
"There an* no houses to speak of
west of this location and in every
other direction there are steep hills
to be climbed." said Mr. Reynolds.
“There have been complaints from
res.dents all over that section against
the location I don't see why It ever
was selected
“A location that appeals to me is
the abandoned tennis courts which
the Piedmont Driving Club built in
Piedmont Park opposite the Junction
of Piedmont avenue and South Prado.
The Park Hoard was strenuously op
posed to the location of a school In
the park, and I think the members
were right But a bungalow fire
engine house would be attractive to
look at and would take up very little
space. We could sell the West Peach
tree lot and build the station with a
few thousand dollars extra.
With an automobile engine the
whole North Side could be easily cov
ered. The location * high and there
are good streets leading in every di
rection."
Fire Chief W H. Cummings said
Monday that If Council wanted a
new location It would have to select
the lot and buy It He said he spent
two years trying to do this, and the
West Peachtree lot was the result of
his best efforts.
“People want fire engine houses,”
he said "but they want them next
to somebody else’s house.”
Buy Your Diamond Where \ ou Are
Sure You Will Get Just What
You Think You Are Buying
Arido from their beauty, people buy diamonds because they
feel that their money is not spent, but merely invested—con
verted into another form of wealth.
The pride of show is intensified by the thought and feeling
that the value is lliere.
The real value of your investment depends largely on the
reputation and character of the dealer of whom you make your
purchase. If you are absolutely sure the diamond you buy is
all it is claimed to he, you are satisfied both with its appearance
and with its real worth.
* There is no mystery whatever in our system of selling dia
monds, for the simpler the method the more diamonds we sell.
Naturally we have made it our business to explain our methods
of grading and selling to people, and to this reason we attribute
its constant increase.
We want you to examine carefully the grades and the
plans under which we sell diamonds.

If you can not call at the store, we shall he glad to forward
« you a selection package on approval, all charges paid hv us.
Our attractive selling plans are open to reliable people

CURRENCY BILL
WASHINGTON, Deo. 22.—A
unanimous consent agreement
was reached in the *House this
afternoon to debate the currency
bill for one hour on each side
after the conference report on the
measure is brouaht in.
Majority Leader Underwood
stated that he was assured by
Chairman Glass that the report
would be presented in the House
at 3:30 o’clock. Minority Leader
Mann agreed with Underwood
and Progressive Leader Murdock
to hold a night session if neces
sary to dispose of the report at
once.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 22.—The Ad-,
mlnistrafIon’s currency bill probably
will be enacted into law before night.
The last obstacles in its path were
swept away ata long night session of
the House arid Senate conferees,
which ended at 3 o’clock this morn
ing.
The only action necessary to make
the measure a law is acceptance by
the two houses of the conference re
port and President Wilson’s signa
ture.
Important action was taken by the
conferees in the closing hours of their
long session, in which they were aided
by the advice of Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo. The House con
ferees triumphed on two big points of
difference when an agreement was
reached to drop the provision provid
ing for the guarantee of national bank
deposits and to eliminate the clause
permitting the use of reserve notes afl
reserves of member banks.
A v c«»mpromlse was reached on a
matter that has caused bltter^ghjing
when it was agreed that the Comp
troller of the Currency shall be a
member of the Federal Reserve Board,
but that the Secretary of Agricult life
shall not serve on the board.
The House had fought to have both
officials made ex-officio members of
the board, and succeeded In securing
an agreement to have them made
members of the organization commit
tee.
The question of retiring 2 per cent
bonds caused sharp disc ussion, and It
was finally decided to retire them two
years after the inauguration of the
new system, $25,000,000 worth to be
retired annually. They shall be taken
over from national Hanks by reserve
banks.
For one-half of the bonds so taken
reserve banks# will Issue notes similar
to those of national banks.
The conferees were worn out by
their arduous work, but stuck to the
task until It was finished, having re
solved to complete the work so that
Congress might adjourn over the hol
idays. As last as an agreement was
reached on the various provisions and
a page of the bill disposed of it was
rushed to the Government printerv for
preparation.
Wilsons Ready for
Trip to Gulf Coast
To Spend Christmas
WASHINGTON. Dec. 22.—Pre«i-
dent Wilson’s Christmas vacation
trip will begin to-morrow. Accom
panied by Mrs. Wilson, his daughters,
the Misses Margaret and Eleanor,

dent will depart fr<»m Washington at
10 4k o’clock to-morrow night, an-I
cording iq his present plans, and!
will arrive on the gulf coast Christ-!
mas morning He probably will spend
about three weekfi at Pass Christian,
Miss.
President Wilson expects to keep
his Southern sojourn free from all
executive business, although the im
pression prevails that he will devote
considerable thought to the creation
of the machinery for putting the
currency bill into effect, including his
selection of the members of the Fed
eral Reserve Board.
He will return to Washington in
time to hold the first of the formal
Washington social functions, the
diplomatic reception at the White
House January 13.

Says "Hard - Times” Prophets
Must Keep Busy—Pleased Over
Anti-Trust Situation,
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—Presl-
dent Wilson paid his ^omplimeijts to
“calamity howlers" to-day when he
indicated to callers at the White
House that the nation understands it
is the duty of "hard-times prophets"
to keep busy always.
The President expressed himself as
deeply pleased over the evident incli
nation of the business interests of the
nation to conform to the provisions of
the Sherman anti-trust act, but de
clined to make a specific statement on
the business conditions of the coun
try at the present time.
He was asked If he knew of any
other corporations that weYe making
ready to follow tIve voluntary disso
lution move of the American Tele
phone and Telegraph Company.
He had none specifically in mind,
he said, and reiterated his belief that
internals generally would adjust
themselves to legal requirements.
That the Government naturally is
willing to co-operate with all busi
ness men who desire to obey the law
Is self-evident, according to Presi
dent Wilson’s views. He has gained
an impression from members of his
Cabinet and many members of Con
gress that business men in general
are more than willing to reorganize
in accordance with the provisions of
the law, and aald the agreement as to
the dissolution of the American Tele
phone and Telegraph Company, em
phasizes this impression.

HOW TO TREAT
GROUP EXTERNALLY
Rub Vick's “Vap-O-Rub" Croup
and Pneumonia Salve well over the
throat and chest for a few minutes
and then cover with a warm flannel
cloth. Leave the covering loose
around the neck so that the vapors
inhaled may loosen the choking
phlegm and open the air passages.
Usually one treatment relieves In
fifteen minutes. One application at
bedtime will prevent a night attack.
Vick’s will be found better than in -
ternal medicines for all inflammations
of the air passages from head colds
ami catarrh down to bronchitis and
incipient pneumonia. Three sizes —
25c, 50c and $1.
