Not Praying Man.
Atlanta Monday discussed with in
terest sermons by several
pastors^ Sunday on the
•train' •<? relations* with Germany, in
oil of which praise of the highest
character was accorded President
Woodrow Wilson and thorough rotifl-
dence was expressed in his ability to
handle the situation to the best Inter
ests of the nation.
Dr John E. White, at the Second
Baptist Church; Dr. Charles O. Jones,
at Trinity Methodist, and Dr. A. R.
Holderby. addressing a Presbyterian
meeting in East Point, all lauded the
President as God fearing and prayer
ful and as the right man in the right
place at this time.
Colonel Paxon'i Resolutions.
Resolutions, introduced by F. J.
Paxnn. were adopted by the Second
Baptist Sunday school and will be
forwardej to the President, as fol
lows;
“Resolved, by the members and the
Sunday school of the Second Baptist
Church of Atlanta, Sunday, May 16;
“First, that we thank our Heavenly
Father that we have In Woodrow
Wilson, our President, a man during
these unusual and trying times of
deep devotion to the highest princi
ples— a man of ronsc rv*ti:-m and of
prayer, of courage, patriotism, and of
noble abilities.
“Second, we desire to place on rec
ord our appreciation of his untiring
efforts to preserve peace with honor
—of our sympathy and our prayers
for him In this unusual and trying
ordeal—of our thorough confidence
in hi.« wisdom, sagacity and patience,
and to assure him that he has and
will have our full support, whatever
the final outcome of his effort* to
preserve pence to prevent war —and
to support the honor and dignity of
our country.”
Appeal for Humanity.
Dr White declared that the great
European war has “isolated America
in moral geography." and said that
“the American people are beginning
to realise that this country' has been
sanctified, wt apart and purposed."
The watchword of the hour, he said,
Is, “We love America "
“We love America for God’s sake,
and for humanity's* sake we are aob-
cred by patriotism like this." he said
“For Woodrow Wilson, 1 say thank
God. He If a? the hiding place from
the wind and a covert from the tem
pest."
Dr, Jonea said;
“Woodrow Wilson’s note to Ger
many was an appeal for International
salvation of humanity, and that nec
essarily Includes the peace and pros
perity of the United States. Presi
dent Wllaon stand? as the champion
of individual and national Justice.
Therefore, the United States, with
almost absolute unanimity, stands
behind him and will support him and
his policies."
Dr. Holderby declared this nation
now* would be in the midst of a bloody
war were It not for the fact that
President Wilson is a praying man.

Umpires—To be announced after the
! game, if at all.
Here we have spring practice by
the instructors of the various At
lanta playgrounds. The instructors
are young women. Miss F. M. Tib
bets is the superintendent, and she is
a good one. In playground parlance,
she Is a crackerjack. Even the boys,
cynically skeptical a^ to feminine re
lations with baseball, admit that Miss
Tibbets Is on the Job.
Miss Tibbets has ordered spring
training for the Instructors, prepar
atory to the opening of the playground
season June 14.
’’If you’re going to teach anybody
anything about baseball, you will
have to know it yourselves—that’s
certain." says Miss Tibbets. and here
we have the line-up of the Pinloos
and the Weedards. The Pinloos are
not so formal as the Weedards in of
fering their names, and It also is
worthy of note that the hatting order
of both clubs Is based on position
rather than batting strength, which
may give rise to a hit of spoofing by
the young idea, that already knows
how to shoot.
But they are practicing hard out at
Piedmont Park, and if you could see
Miss Ruth Weegand at bat and Miss
Laura Pinnell back of the same—she
being normally a pitcher instead of a
backstopper. as she appears In the
picture—if you could see these things
you would come to the conclusion (11
that a wild game was in prospect
when the Pinloos and Weedards get
together; (2) that you would rather
be a Belgian than an umpire, and (3)
False Affidavits in
Suit Are Charged to
Comptroller by Bank
(By International Neyfs Service.)
WASHINGTON. May 17.—That the
affidavits filed by Comptroller of the
Currency Williams in reply to the
charges of coercion made In the suit of
the Riggs National Bank, contain many
misstatements, was asserted to-day by
officials of the bank. They promised
to puncture many of these statements
when the case comes up for hearing on
the facts Involved, and to be prepared to
raise many Issues of fact as to allega
tions made by the Treasury officials.
Arguments to-day were presented to
Justice McCoy In the District Supreme
Court on the government’s motion to
dismiss the temporary injunction obtain
ed by the bank to prevent the Comp
troller from enforcing a fine of $5,000
to which the bank was sentenced for
failure to make prompt reports and from
otherwise Interfering with the affaire
of the institution.
It was expected the court would take
the matter under advisement and that if
the demurrer of the Riggs Bank against
the motion to dismiss were sustained,
the hearing- would proceed on the issue
fact.
Counsel for Erectors’ Association
Says Employer Is Justified in
Protecting Himself.
(By International Now* Service.)
WASHINGTON, May 17.—Employ
ment of gunmen as strike-breakers
was defended by Walter Drew, chief
counsel for the National Erectors’ As
sociation, before the Industrial Rela
tions Commission to-day.
When unable to get proper aid in
labor disputes. Drew said, the em
ployer is justified in "taking such
measures as may be at hand for such
protection."
"The employer must rely upon such
hired mercenaries as he can find in
the market for such men,” declared
Drew, “when the proper authorities
fail to give protection."
Incorporation of unions or enact
ment of laws that wjll permit actions
against them were urged by Drew,
because th eunions at present are not
legally. responsible for injuries in
flicted upon others, through lack of
incorporation.
"As an example," Drew said, "the
contractors and owners whose work
was destroyed by the hundred or more
dynamite explosions caused by the
structural iron workers' work can not
recover a dollar in damage from that
union.
"The evidence Is clear that these
explosions were planned by the ex
ecutive officers of the union, that the
moneys to carry them on were voted
by the executive board and drawn
from the union treasury, and yet the
samo treasury ran not be reached by
any known action of law’ to recover
damages."
After developing such immense
power, Drew contended, the labor
unions should not have such abso
lute legal Immunity.

Bishop Candler Talks
To Emory Theologs
Clergymen should appeal to the in
tellects of their congregations rather
than to their emotions, in the opinion
of Bishop Warren A. Candler. His
view’ was expressed In an address
Sunday night at Wesley Memorial
Church, closing the first term of the
Candler School of Theology of the
new 7 Emory University.
"Debaucheries are becoming a fash
ion." he said. “It is stylish to be
wicked, modish to be immoral, fash
ionable to revel."
Two students of the school will be
given degrees. S. Keener Rudolph, of
Elk City. Okla., and Robert S. Ruff,
of Mississippi.

NATIONAL SANK
A whole class of prospective sweet
girl graduates of Washington Semi
nary came away from All Saints’
Church Sunday morning with some
thing on their minds besides fluffy
brown hair and spring hats.
The something was a powerful ser
mon preached by the Rev. W. W.
Memminger. It was directed at the
graduates. It was about Individual in
fluence.
Everybody had individual influence,
Dr. Memminger said. You couldn’t
dodge it You had It, and It had its
effect. You might not want It to af
fect anyone. But that didn’t matter.
Women in particular had much in
fluence. Look at Eve. Look at Deli
lah. Look at Deborah. Look at Re-
beoca. And then there was the wom
an—for It was a woman—who bore
first witness to the risen Christ.
That w r as another thing—witness
bearing. And the youthful faces were
very grave as the graduates heard Dr.
Memminger enter into the negative
part of his discourse—the things not
to do.
Here are Dr. Memminger’s "Don'ts"
for girl graduates:
Don’t give up church attendance to
play golf.
Don’t let social attractions lure you
away from teaching in Sunday school.
Don’t sip highballs and drink cock
tails to please men.
Don’t try to keep the love of any
man by playing cards for money.
Violinist and Singer
Aid Organ Recital
That fortunate portion of Atlanta’s
people who attended the free organ
concert Sunday afternoon awoke
Monday with the memory still fresh
of a distinct musical event. The reg
ular program by Dr. Edwin Arthur
Kraft, city organist, was supplement
ed by the singing of Miss Hilda
Delghton, of New York, a well-known
concert soprano, and the violin num
bers by Miss Mary Denison Galley,
also a concert performer. A difficult
Mendelssohn concerto superbly done
marked Miss Galley’s work.
Miss Deighton’s singing included
the Habanera aria from "Carmen.”
“But the Lord Is Mindful of His
Own” from the oratorio “Elijah.’
“With Rue My Heart Is Filled.”
“What the Chimney Sang” and “Love
I Have Won You.”

Mind Cows
STATESBORO, May 17.—Details
have reached Statesboro of a freak
bet made on Friday's baseball game
at Athens between Georgia and Tech.
Involving the obligation of one of
this section’s most promising young
men to mind a small herd of Jersey
cows during the summer time. In
man Donaldson, a “pied piper” in the
Tech band, bet his older brother.
George, who is a junior at the State
University, that Tech would win.
The brothers have been alternating
during vacation in feeding the afore
mentioned bovines, with Inman, oe-
lng the smaller, doing most of the
heavy work. Thinking to shake off
this drab Infliction and confident Tech
would deliver him from his bondage.
Inman proposed that they lay their all
on their respective teams.
Georgia won the game, 7 to 4, and
now George has brilliant vacation
prospects, while Inman’s are dim.
George Is better known as "Pete,”
black-face comedian and end man of
Georgia’s Glee and Minstrel Show. So
happy is "Pete” that he declares he
will spend a good part of his summer
on a vaudeville circuit In South
Georgia, while Inman will be forced
to remain at home and play his pic
colo.
there is good entertainment ahead for
the long, hot Sunday^ to come. Open-
air band concerts are in full swing, to
continue through the summer.
At Piedmont Park Sunday more
than 5,000 persons heard the first of
these concerts by C. E. Barber’s Band.
A lively program had been arranged

sics Several hundred swimmers en
joyed the lake.

Simple Way to
End
Dandruff
5,000 Hear Band Play
At Piedmont Park
Atlanta people who have discon
tentedly dozed and lazied through dull
Sunday afternoons now know that
There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that Is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces of plain, common liquid
arvon from any drug store (this is all
you will need), apply it at night when
retiring; rub it in gently with the finger
tips.
By morning most, if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it. no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly, and your
hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky
and soft, and look and feel a hundred
times better.—Advertisement.
