MEXICO CITY, Dec. 23.—With
three great hanks on the brink ot
failui o-und rebel? menacing even the
capital, the Mexican Government to
day gave itself up to fetes in celebra
tion of the birthday of Victoria no
Huerta, the dictator of the republic.
Early in the day a. detachment of
troops took up their station at the
National Palace, following announce
ment that receptions would take place
there throughout the day. All mem
bers of the diplomatic coijis, with the
exception of Nelson O'Shaughnessy,
the American Charge d’Affaires, are
expected to call on Huerta during the
afternoon. *
While elaborate preparations were
being nude for the birthday celebra
tion, leading financiers were holding
a conference at the Bank of London
and Mexico to devise means of avert
ing the banking crisis, and deposi
tors were besieging the institution, as
well as the Central Bank and the
Banco Nacional. The decree of the
Government declaring a legal holiday
until January 2 increased the finan
cial tension rather than decreased it.
Until the time set the banks can
refuse to meet any obligations, and
as a result many business firms which
require cash daily will have to close
down.

[ Christmas of 1913.
We’re GOING TO DO IT. you know.
But right at the last moment, the
' eleventh hour, comes an appeal from
a new quarter—and more than 200
lAtle chaps that had been overlooked
now are turning their big eyes won-
deringly, hopefully toward the mys
terious realm of Santa Claus Land
and the coast of the bright Christ
mas Country.
| Are THEY going to be passed by

Come on, good friends of all the

to the stage of civilization where
Christmas doesn’t seem like Christ-

our own kids are filled to running

We’ve got to fill the other kids’
stockings, too, or it can’t be a really

—although it didn’t look like it Tues
day—and it isn’t clouded by any im
pending Empty Stocking tragedy for
Atlanta childhood, either, if you do
your part and if you do—
We are going to celebrate a lit
tle, and The Georgian is going to
play host, in a way of speaking, al
though It really is just a great, big,
out-of-doors Christmas festival, for
a great, big. happy family, happy over
a good job, mighty well done.
The Georgian isn’t assuming any
credit for this splendid, generous
work of filling the empty stockings
of Atlanta. The Georgian merely
suggested the need of those poor lit
tle patched and yawning stockings.
The Good Fellows—the big-hearted
men and women and children of At
lanta—did the rest.
For a Royal Good Time.
So now we're all going to get to
gether and have a royal good time—
twice.
The time is at 5 o'clock Wed
nesday afternoon. The place is in
front of the City Hall, where the
great Christmas tree has been raised,
towering as a monument to the good
will and love Atlanta bears Its less
fortunate children.
Everybody is invited. and The
Georgian feels it a privilege to foot
the bills.
There will be an open-air concert
by Wedemeyer’s Band. There will be
Christmas carols and special songs
b\ the children from the Decatur Or
phans’ Home and the Georgia Bap*
‘ist Orphans’ Home. And the entire
‘oroe of Georgian newsboys will be
n hand to—well, you’ll see what they
'.ill do toward the general liveliness
the occasion.
Great Tree to Glow.
The great cedar tree—the most
erfect of its kind ever raised in a
'hristmas celebration—will glow with
• nndreds of colored electric* lights and
te brand of decoration the weather
.:;i’t subdue. No gifts there—just a
icking good time, and an overflow
good fellowship, and the real
'hristmas spirit.

Everybody welcome—everybody in

That’s Christmas Eve, at 5 o’clock.

Come on. everybody! The Empty

It doesn’t seem to be exactly a time
for a preachment, as Elbert Hubbard
calls it.
When the people of a great city are
nppy and well fixed: when they have
just finished putting over a great
rnject like Oglethorpe University,
and times are good, and the idea is to

PRINCETON, N.’ J., Dec. 23.—Wheth
er or not the prestige of the Presidency

mediately to college attendance has been
answered partly In figures for this fall

its history. This is an increase of 31
over 1912. The Princeton Alumni Week
ly attributes the difference to the open

South, excluding Maryland’s 75. Georgia
has seven, the same number as last
year. New York again leads, with 362.
and Pennsylvania and New Jersey are f
tied for second with 340. Tennessee
stands eleventh with 20. Forty-two
States and twelve foreign countries are
represented, the latter with an increase
of 10 over 1912.

from Captain W. R Joyner, State Eire
Marshal that the recent, fire in the
Lippman Building in Savannah, at a 1

RESINOL CLEARS
BAD COMPLEXIONS
Quickly, Easily and at Little Expense.
Pimples and blackheads disappear,
unsightly complexions become clean,
clear and valvety. and hair health and
beauty are promoted by the regular use
of Reslnol Soap and an occasional appli
cation of Reslnol Ointment. These
soothing, healing preparations do their
work easily, quickly and at little cost,
when even th* most expensive cosmetics
and complicated "beauty treatments"
fail.

heaitf^e to use Reslnol Soap and Resi-
nol ointment. There is nothing in them
to injure the tenderest surface. Resi-
nol is a doctor’s prescription which for
eighteen years has beer, used by care
ful physicians for all kinds of skin af
fections. They prescribe Reslnol freely,

tion is brought about by medication so
bland and gentle as to be suited to the I
most delicate or Irritated skin. Resl- i
