Promoters of the Atlanta Automo
bile Show, to he held at the Audito
rium in February, were congratulat
ing themselves Wednesday on having
secured Virgll W, Shepard as offi
clal decorator for the big building and
booths. He was responsible for the
shows of 1912, 1918 and 1914, and he
promises for the new exhibit a series
of decorations which not only will be
unlike anything that has been seen in
previous exhibits, but which will offer
some brand-new wrinkles,
Mr. Shepard has decorated every
show and exhibit of any character
that has been held In the Auditorium
#ince the erection of that bullding.
These Included the Commercial Gas
Show, the Atlanta Manufacturers’ Ex
position, the National Good Roads
Show, and many others of lesser note,
He also has furnished all the decora
tions for the bullding during the
seven seasons of grand opera.
Among thes requests presented to
the Council Finance Committee Mon
day were the following:
Robert F., Maddox asked that $lO,-
000 be appropriated for overdue pay
ments to reimburse the cltizens who
put up §60,000 for the willening of
the Peachtree street “bottle neck.”
“There was a time,” he sald, “when
tha citys moral obligation was as
good as its bond. That hasn't been
true for the last several years,
“My personal interest in this fund
is slight, but I tell you that the very
first thing the city should provide
for Is its moral obligations.”
City Marshal James M. Fuller ap
pealed to the committee not to abol
ish the place of his assistant., The
place is held by L. O. Wright, the
only salaried man in the office be
sides Mr. Fuller,
| ¢, C. Hammon, chemist in charge
of the city sewage disposal plants,
asked for $28,000 for repairs and im
provements at these plants.
H. L. Colller, Chief of Construction,
recommended the sale of the stock
ade property, stating that the looa
tion of the city prison was a detri
ment to the surroynding residential
neighborhoods.
The committes will resume its
hearing from Mr. Cellier at a gession
Wednesday afternoon.
“break through” in the north would
rob him of fruits of the Roumanian
campaign and might shake the whole
German front,
Meanwhile, Mackensen is sweeping
forward on the whole line against
the Horeth. The lust 36 hours brought
the capture of the Roumanian town
of Galreaska and the “bagging” of
more than 5,400 prisoners.

Out in the Balkans
PARIS, Jan, 10.—~Is the Balkan pe
ninsula to become the battlie fleld on
which the great war will be fought
out to a finish?
That has been made the big ques
tion of the hour by the allled counecil
of war in Rome,
Declarations which have been made
since the conference and the fact that
General Barrall, commander in chief
of the Allled army in Macedonia, was
present, all indicate that the Entente
is preparing for a tremendous sffort
Sgainst the German, “Austro-Hunga
rian, Bulgarian and Turkish forces in
that theater of war,
The geographical situation of lhl{
is such that she can best deal wit |
Oreece while the- Allled arm Kives
Its undivided attention to an o‘mtvo.
| In this connection it is reported
that Ttaly may send a strong force in
‘to Greece to nullify the menace of
King Constantine's army.
' Two Important factors enter into
the Halkan situation:
1. The possibility of King Constan
tine going to war on the side of the
German allies,
3. The loss of prestige for the Bn
tente caused by Von Mackensen's suc.
ceanful conquest of the three Balkan
kingdoms.
From now on the Entente Govern
ments are going to deal with Con
stantine with a strong hand. That is
shown by the fact that a stern ulti
matum has been sent to Athens and
Also by the attitude of Premior Lioyd.

’fi;rollnn vlelded returns of 780 per
[cent in reduced losses were read to
inck experts in conference here Wed-
Inesdny by Dr. W, K. Lewls, inspector
in charge.
This was learned after a careful
analysis of all losses, Dr. Lewis sald,
and the results are incontestible. Al
together, it was conservatively esti
mated that since April, 1914, when
work was begun in that State, more
than $1,500,000 has been saved. |
The average cost for each acre of
tick-infested territory is 61-3 cents,
|the speaker sald. Campaigners ati
work there have freed 14,141 square
miles with a saving of $548,000,
There are 189,098 head of cattle lni
this territory, and it was definitely
established that the raising of qun.r—[
antine and the benefits to the animal
from being rid of the pest jumps its
value §7.50. A higher estimate of thel
Increased value of each animal was |
made by South Carolina farmers, but
the Bureau of Animal Industry chose
the more conservative figure.
Mors than 100 Federal and State
experts listened intently as Dr. Lowhl
outlined the results accomplished, and |
were deeply Impressed. It was said!
the figures will be of inestimable
value in furtherin? eradication cam
peigns in other sections.
Results of the experts’ efforts in
the six Southern States they repre
sent have been brought out during
previous sessions. It is estimated that
eradication of the tick entirely will
result in a saving to cattle raisers of
nearly a hundred millions annually,
George W. Wharton, chief of the in
formation bureau of the Department
of Agriculture, spoke also during the |
morning session, explaining how pub-x
licity work, with especial reference to
advertising, should he done. He wllll
speak Thursday on the preparation of
newspaper articles. ‘

The sensational court fight over t‘ha!
$200,000 estate of the late Mrs. Alice
Eugenie Daves, former wife of the
late James Collins, at one time prom
inent Fulton County official, opened
Wednesday before a jury in Judge
John T. Pendleton's divislon of Su
perior Court, and gave promise of de
veloping into one of the most hotly
fought will contests witnessed in this
county in many years.
The battle is a three-cornered af
fair between Mrs. Daves' husband, Dr,
Joel T. Daves, prominent Methodist
churchman and former presiding el
der of the Atlanta District; Samuel
H. Venable, named by Mrs. Daves as
executor in a will made in 1914 and
in which she disinherited Dr. Daves,
and thirdly, her brother, A, A. Clark,
his children, Alice Kate Clark and
H. H. Clark, and the latter's daugh
ter, Alice Eugenia Clark,
Dr. Daves’ Contention.
Dr. Daves is fighting to have the
court sustain a will made by his wife
in April, 1911, following their mar
riage in January, 1911, in which she
left the bulk of her rich estate to the
husband and named him as executor.
Venable is fighting to sustain the
will of 1814, while the Clarks are
fighting to knock out a codicil made
by Mrs. Daves in 1915, in which she
left them out. The Clarks were pro
vided for in both of the wills.
Dr. Daves based his objections to
the will offered by Venable on the
ground that, at the time it was made,
Mrs. Daves was of “unsound mind,”
and “was unduly influenced by Vena
ble and by Mrs. Maud Eugenia Ingles,
a niece o{'the late James Collins, and
Charles H. Collins, a nephew.”
~ In outlining to the jury the case
for Dr. Daves Attorney Sherwood
Bryan declared Dr. Daves would show
that he was disinherited as the re
sult of a deliberate conspiracy on the
part of this trlo to wreck his wife's
love for him and the confldence she
had in him that they might inherit
the fortune. The making of the will
of 1914 was a part of this scheme At
torney Bryan said.
Mind Was Polisoned.
Dr. Daves further would contend,
the jury was told, that Venable and
the other two relatives “poisoned the
mind of Mrs. Daves against Dr. Daves
by persuading her that the latter had
married her sor her money and that
‘he was mlsmanaging the estate.”
~ Under the 1914 will, it was pointed
out, Venable had been left two pleces
of city property, one in North avenue,
valued at $40,000, and one at Caln
and Luckle streets, valued at $15,000,
and that Mrs. Ingles and Charles Col
lins had been left property valued at
$60,000.
Many lawyers appeared in the case,
and indications were that the hearing
would continue for several days. Dr.
Daves and the Clarks were represent
ed by Attorneys Bryan, Jordan &
Middlebrooks, Armenius Wright,
Hewlett, Dennis & Whitman, and Vir
lyn Moore, while Attorneys West
moreland Bros. and James L. Key ap
peared for Venable,

Freightßateßevision
.
Hearing Is Postponed
The hearing on the petition of the
Georgla carriers for a revision of in
trastate freight rates was postponed
by the Georgia Railroad Commission
Wednesday from February 5 to
March 1.
This action was taken at the re
quest of W. A. Wimbish, general
counsel of the Georgia Shippers’ As
sociation, who is opposing the pro
posed revision, upon his statement
that his physical condition is such
that he deemed it essential to be re
lleved of the burdens of this case
during February, Mr. Wimbish has
been through several months of
heavy work before the State Commis.-
sion and the Interstate Commerce

committeemen, and so forth, are en
titled to share in the SIOO reward,
they are thinking of blowing the re
ward, when they get it, for a nice
little dinner—and Sergeant Bullard,
at whom Night Chief Jett laughed
hoarsely, will be honor guest and
have the last laugh, which is popu
larly reputed to be the best.
It was this way:
On the night of December 29, the
Merit-and-Demerit Committee of the
Police Commission, consisting of
Messrs. Styron, King and Vernoy,

who looked like the description,

The committee meeting adjourned.
Everybody wanted to g 0 out to take
charge of the suspect. Chief Mayo
‘went., Night Chief Jett went, Ser~‘
Beant Bullard went. Messrs. Styron,
King and Vernoy went. Patrolmen |
Barfleld and Posey went, |
This impressive array brought back
a badly scared negro, who said he
was Jesse Cherry, of Birmingham.
He looked more like & Hubbard
squash that had ripened in the shade.
A comparison with photographs at.
headquarters, with measurements,
and so on, demonstrated conclusively
that Jesse was not the one,
Everybody was disappointed, but
Sergeant Bullard sald Jesse looked
like a bad egg to him, and he'd like to
do a little Investigating.
This was where Mr. Jett layghed
hoarsely. He told Bullard to go ahead
—but he was out of luck,
Bullard went ahead. Wednesday he
demonstrated that Jesse Cherry was

| To Avoid Dandruff
. T ——
You do not want a slow treatment
for itching scalp when hair is falling
and the dandruff germ is killing the
hair roots. Delay means—no hair.,
Get, at any drug store, a bottle of
zemo for 25¢ or SI.OO for extra large
| size. Use as directed, for it does the
work quickly. It kills the dandruff
germ, nourishes the hair roots and im
mediately stops itching sealp. It is a
pure, reliable, antiseptic liquid, is not
greasy, is easy to use and will not
! stain. Soaps and shampoos are harm
ful, as they contain alkali, The best
thing to use for scalp Arritation is
gemo, for it is safe and inexpensive,
