4 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. PROTESTED Si DC o assurance that Council J will pn-vDio for a new fire station for! the Ansley F’ark and Rrookwood nee- | i.mis, Councilman-elect Frank H. lir\nolds and Alderman-elect John 8. oweni have Joined in a plan to pro-j » st against thf* location for the ata- j :ion that has already been selected In I the purchase of a lot. The lot is on West Teachtree street j between Fourteenth and Fifteenth! 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.

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.

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.
