“Gio hunt up Eberhard Faber, the
pencil man, and ask him why he
doésn’t invent a pencil that will ring a
bell when it gets lost on my desk,”
said the city editor. “He's at ‘the
Piedmont with the stationers’ con
vention.”
One of his friends said Mr. Faber
was out.
“You'll ind him out at the Brook
haven golf course, somewhere be
tween the geventh and eleventh holes,
I should say,” he suggested. *“But if
he could invent that bell attachment
you're talking about he wouldn't
waste it on a lead pencil, He'd put it
on golf balls.”
So there went the interview. But
we've got the picture and it's a shame
to waste it, 80 here goes:
The subject of this sketch Is not the
original Eberhard Faber, but his son.
The first Eberhard started a pencil
factory In Brooklyn years ago, when
pencils were a novelty. He made good
pencils and good money. His son
succeeded him, made better pencils
and more money. Today he is said to
be worth $20,000,000, all made frnmi
nickel and dime pencils, rubber eras
ers and bands and similar ofice equip- |
ment. The only trouble on his mind |
is finding enough cedar to make pen- |
cils from. Now he is swapping wire |
fences for old cedar rails. If he'd lr)"
The Georgian's exchange column, he |
would get enough rails to build n|
fence from here to Brooklyn, whh'hi
would make enough pencils to figure
all the experts’ dope on the possibili- |
ty of that suburb's copping this lca-l
son's pennant,

! Chesley R. Perry, of Chicago, who
lonce agreed to act as temporary sec
i retary of the International Rotary
Clubs for a period of 60 days and who
)h:m never managed to get away from
the job although six years have
elapsed, was at the Piledmont Hotel
Wednesday arranging for the time in
} 1917 when the world Rotarians will
| take the city . .
{ Mr. Perry was in the tow of such
| active Atlanta Rotarians as L. D.
| Hicks, local pregident; Victor H,
| Kriegshaber, Albert 8. Adams, former
| secretary; Earle H. Cone and others,
| They were making hotel arrange
| ments, plans for headquarters and the
| various entertainments for the inter
| national convention here,
| “We are going to have a wonderful
Eml'm in Atlanta,” said Mr. Perry,
| “and, believe me, these Atlanta Ro
| tarians are capable of the job they are
Ifavlnu. We'll have people here from
’ull over the United States, England,
i Ireland, Cuba and Honolulu, and it's
:qmt.e possible that' the Atlanta con
i vention will see the first Rotary rep
| resentaitves from the Orient.”
| Mr. Perry, who has been executive
| secretary since the international was
| organized at Chicago in 1910, is head
;Uf the real working forces of the big
| organization., He is also editor of
| The Rotarian, official publication of
| the international, and has other du
l!it-s that make his a man-size job.
| “When the international started in
:191'! there were only twelve clubs,
| witn a membership of about 1,500,” he
{explained “Now we have 270 clubs
| withh a membership of probably 39,000.
i “When' they found they could get
i nobody else to take the job as secre
| tary in 1910, they made me agree to
{fill in temporarily. 1 was to be re
| lieved within 60 days. Since that time
| they have continued to make me sec
| retary each year, and the job has
J;zrnwn until I have had to quit my |
business and devote all my time to
!tlw work., ‘
“The gecretary’'s original office force
Bix years ago numbered one, being
myself, Now we have an extensive
{office suite with a working force of
| seventeen members,”
| Mr. Perry reports that organizers
from San Franciseo and Buffalo are
'now in the Orient to promote new
' Rotary Clubs. (Clubs were being nr-!
| ganized in Berlin and Paris at the
time of the war declarations and were
necessarily abandoned for the present,
~ The local Rotarians held a lunch
eon Tuesday noon at the Piedmont in
honor of Mr. Perry, to which all visit
ing Rotarians attending the station
ers’ convention were invited. |
A number of the prominent mem
bers of the association were seated
at the tables, including L. E. Water

Cleveland: D. W, Cotterel, of Harris

Mrs. Whiffen Praises
Miss Hanson's Work
Mrs. Thomas Whiffen, the dear old
lady who tops the Forsyth bill this
week, thinks there's no actress quite like
Gladys Hanson, of Atlanta. And being
in Miss Hanson's own home town, she
took occasion Wednesday to say a word
about the younger actress.
“There's nothing in the way of stage
success which will not some day be
hers,” sald Mrs. Whiffen. ‘1 played
with her and Kyrle Bellew in ‘Builders
of Bridges' and we were great friends.
1 have watched many an actress In my
\SO yvears of stage life, watched them
struggle and fall. Miss Hanson has ev
ery element that makes success—tal

THAT KENTUCKY BLOOD!
A lineal descendant of the bet
ting man in Mark Twain’'s Jump
ing Frog story was discovered to
day in the person of Ed Dan
forth, of Lexington, suh, racing
writer and expert tipster.
Mr. Danforth, waiting for the
races to start at the fair, and |
having nothing else on hand but
work, bit into a chinquapin, form
~ which appeared five fat and ener
| getic worms. Mr. Danforth did
' not waste them. He drew a six
inch circle on a piece of paper,
~ put the five worms in the cen
ter, and invited bets upon which
would ecrawl out of the circle first.
In the course of an hour he had
absorbgd all the loose change in
the editorial department.
The office boy, experimenting
with the tired racers, discovered
that all but one had been lightly
touched with the mucilage brush.
That one, needless to say, was

Police Seeking
Mysteric
The county police Wednesday sought
the solution to a series of mysterious
and terrific explosions which in the last“
two nights have occurred ‘‘somewhere
nearby” and were plainly heard in At
lanta.
And the whole city is wishing the po
lice success, for the city’s curiosity has
been aroused.
Despite the police hunt and system
atic inquiry over the county, however,
not the slightest clew has been found
that ,would tend to reveal the location
of the big blasts or to disclose their
purpose. Two of these explosions were
heard Monday night and two on Tues
day night. Apparently, the blasts were
set off at some point northwest of the
city, according to the police. One of
the explosions was so close as to rattle
some windows in houses in the northern
part of the city, it was reported Wed
nesday.
Anxious citizens all over the county
have kept the telephone wires hot into
both the police station and the county
police headauarters in the. courthouse
with inquiries. But the police gave no
information, for they had no informa
tion to give. They are as greatly mys
tified as the inquiring citizens.
The county police suggested that these
blasts may be connected with the theft
Sunday night of about sixty sticks of
‘dynamite from the magazine of the
North View Cemetery, near the Chatta
hoochee River.
l The police have been keeping a close

lookout for the missing explosive, but so
far have obtained no trace of it.
