Will Arouse Nation to Great Ore
and Coal Resources of Region.
Underwood SeesFederalßoard.
WASHINGTON, Jan. B.—Out of the
remarkable work so far accomplished
in Washington in behalf of Rome, Ga.,
as the site for the big $11,000,000 Fed
eral armorplate plant have developed
three questions of far-reaching im
pbortance to the entire South,
These questions have aroused all
Southern-Congressman to activity be
yond the mere matter of locating the
plant at some particular place: \
First—The integrity and avail
abn!it{ of Southern ores in gen
eral for the purposes of armor
plate.
Second—The supply of South
ern coal and its quality.
Third—The proper adjustment
of freight rates as they touch the.
other two problems.
Hearing that there might be some
doubt in the minds of the Federal
board considering the armorplate
matter as to the availability of South
ern ores for the purpose of armor
plate manufacture, Senator Under~
wood, of Alabama, went before the
board. He told it that there is no
doubt whatever that Southern ores
are perfectly adapted to armorplate
purposes, and that they are of a
quality paralleling the ores used in
the great Krupp factories in Germany
right now.
Senator Underwood is an authority
on steel, perhaps the very best in
Congress, and what he said about
Bouthern ores in general in this con
nection impressed the board pro
foundly and favorably,
Senator Hoke Smith also had as
sembled a great mass of data on both
Fouthern ores and coal, which at the
proper time will be presented to the
board.
Judge W. C. Adamson, chairman of
the Interstate and Forelgn Commerce
Committee of the House, today
stated he very greatly favored Rome
as the site of the Federal armorplate
plant and that.he expects to do all he
can to push its claims.
“I am sure this matter will be set
tled on the merits of the cases made
out by the various cities, and that is
as it should be,” sald Judge Adam-.
eon. “But 1 have been convinced
Rome's claim is superb, and probably,
the best of any made or likely to be
made.
“I shall do all T can to impress her
claims upon all persons to whom such
knowledge would be helpful in reach
ing a determination just to the Gov
ernment and best for its big armor
plate experiment.”

Every Boy in Last Half
Century Feels, Pang in
Buffalo Bill’s Passing
By O. B KEELER.
This was the “flash:’
. “Buffalo Bill is dead!”
A “flash” is acute news. It is
entitled to “break” all other news
on the wire. In our shop a fat
man named Tom Pinson always
vells “Flash!” when the break
comes, and then follows with the
news. At 1:05 o'clock Wednes
day afternoon the “flash” was:
“Buffalo Bill is dead!" |
‘We knew the old boy was ill.
We knew he was dying. We knew
he was going to die scon. You
know how Kipling pictures the
newspanser shop waiting for some
body to die, half across the
world; and how used newspaper
men get to it, and how bored. ?t's
all true. We didn't know if we
wanted Buffalo Bill to hang on
much longer in his last fight, or
pass comfortably and quietly. We
knew he was going to die, and I
Teckon we thought we weren't
bothering much about it,
But the “flash” was a flash,
really and truly. And it hurt.
I don't know how the others felt
about {t. Men don’t talk a great
deal about such things. But that
flash about Buffalo Bill hurt me
in & way I hadn't been hurt in a
long time. Not a worse hurt.
But a different kind of hurt. The
kind of hurt a boy feels, Just
then I was 10 years old—just for
a moment,
I wonder how many men will
feel the same kind of quick, stun
ning, - bewildering and altogeth
er hopeless hurt when they see
the headlines, *“Buffalo Bill Is
Dead.” Some way, I think most
of them will.
Buffalo Bill was a boyhood idol,
you know.
“Yellow Back” Hero.
The wire carries all the stuff
about the life and times, and the
blazing career, of Colonel William
F. Cody. I will read it, with a
good deal of attention. I don’t
know a whole lot about the old
scout’s real history, after all. I
didn’t bother with such things, as
2 kid. I reckon I got my ideas,
such as they were, from paper
booklets with loud pictures on the
covers and none inside, and from
the ?Sflfllp of other boys, perfect-
Iy unrellable, but spirited and full
of the old kick.
We all worshiped Buffalo Bill.
There was a time when (after
reading a certain book ecalled
“Heroes of the Plains,” 1 was dai
vided in my allegiance. I debated
if Wilq4 Bill Hickock wasn't as
great a hero. He had a fight with
fifteen soldiers, I remember. He
killed a majority of them: a large
majority; and was shot In eight
een or nineteen more or less vital
spots, and also ocarved a good
deal; and he crawled away to a
ditch and lay there a very long
time. I forget how long, but it
was an impressive time. And the
ditch idea was especially tre
mendous. T thought if 1 ever got
shot to pleces and these frag
ments further subdivided with
bowie knives, T surely would crawl
away to a ditch and le In it
But not long after reading this
glowing account of Wild Bill—it

Washing Won’t Rid
Head Of Dandruff
The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it; then you.
destroy It entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary NMquid
arvon; apply it at night when retir
ing: use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub It In gently with the finger
tips. |
Do this tonight, and by morning
most, if not ull, of your dandruff will
bLe gone, and three or four more ap- |
plieations will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much dan
druff you may have. |
You will find, tgo, that all itohing
and digging of the scalp wit stop
once, and vour halr will be flufty, lus
trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look
and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any

shot was proverbial, and one time
a fellow put up a job on him. He
got a revolver and ha@ the barrel
twisted out of line so it wouldn't
shoot straight. And he bragged
about what a fine revolver it was
and got Buffalo Bill to come to his
house and try it.
Old Soou.:t Made Good.
The fellow said they would
have a rooster for dinner, and Buf
falo Bill might try the fine revol
ver on it, and shoot its head off,
as he was In the habit of doing.
The trustful scout fired at the
doomed roster. He missed. He
fired again. And missed. I sup
pose he said something then.
After which he fired again. And
missed. The fellow snickered.
Buffalo Bill's lips were set in a
straight line, so he couldn't very
well say anything else. He fired
three more times in rapid suc
cession, but the wretched fowl de
clined to bite the dust.
With one splendid oath, which
can not appear in this paper of
the home, the great scout took
that traitorous revolver by the
muzzle, whirled it around his
head, threw it at the rooster—and
broke Its neck.
Then he refused to eat dinner
with the fellow.
Of course, after this there was
nothing to it but Buffalo Bill for
me. And D'Artagnan, and Bus
sey, and the Sieur de Marsac, and
even old Decimus Saxon, one and
all, with a host of other idols,
failed utterly to displace Buffalo
Bill from his niche, the foremost
in my little private Hall of Fame.
Why, at the World's Fair In
Chicago—l was 10; no, 11 years
old that fall—l saw many won
derful things. And things are
more wonderful to a boy of 11
than to a boy of any other age,
I think. I saw ships and whales
and Arabs and cannon and the
Ferris wheel and a bheer garden
and a British regiment and the
Streets of Cairo. And other
things, all very wonderful.
And 1 saw Buffalo Bill's Wild
West.
A Boy's Proudest Boast.
And 1 saw Buffalo Bill HIM
SELF,
Oh, I've seen him since; many
times. In the Wild West and out.
But I was 11 years old then.
And all the way back to Mari
etta, Ga., on the train, after see
ing 80 many wonders in the
Dream City—what do you sup
pose I was thinking, over and
over and over?
Of course, it was of something
I would tell the boys when 1 got
home. That's what a kid loves
most to do, if you remember—to
boast about something to his
mates. And this was what I was
going to tell them, first of all:
“I saw Buffalo Bill!”
Somehow I felt exactly like that
11-year-old kid would have felt
—I know fit—for just a second,
when the flash camaea:
“Buffalo Bill is dead!”

BERLIN (via wireless), Jan. 11.—
The Overseas News Agency gives out‘
the following:
The Prelate Knight ‘sson Gerlach
'(Mgr. Gerlach), first acting private
chamberlain to his holiness, has
been forcad to leave Rome and has
arrived at Lugano, Switzerland. He
was the only German prelate in tho‘
Pope’s retinue. |
“The Entente, thifough the Interme
diary of the Italian Govermnenl‘,,i
urgently insisted upon his departure.
“Although he belonged to the per
sonal service of the holy father, the
Vativan had to submit to the unpre
cedented coercion of the Entente.”
Mgr. Gerlach, who is an Austrian,
was mentioned in a Rome dispatch
on January 8 in connection with the
destruction of the Itallan battleships
Benedetto Brin and Leonardo da
Vinci, concerning which an investi
gation has been in progress.
In an investigation by the Italian
'Cab}net last week one of the prison
ers, an Italian named Ambrogetti, im
plicated the prelate in the sinking
of the warships. He alleged he was
the financial agent of Mgr. Gerlach.
It was sald that prior to the war
Mgr. Gerlach was assoclated with
Ambrogetti in a pro-Austrian paper
at Vittonia,
. Mgr. Gerlach was formerly a cav
alry officer, according to Rome re
ports. He became a priest and won
‘the favor of the present Pope when
‘he was cardinal.

Just Human Nature
In the course of a day’s work we deal with
about every degree of humanity, of all ages,
in all sorts of humor., i
Take the cars, for instance. The profound
est student of human nature would find rich
material in abundance if he put on a con
ductor's uniform, say, and did a conductor's
work. He would discover how great ig human
variety. His dealings would be with ALL ele
ments, ALL classes, ALL kinds of people.
You must concede it is impossible to please
everybody. =kven in your own work, what
ever it may be, you realize this; yet after all,
there's a limit to the sweep of your daily
contact with people, whereas we've got to deal
WITH EVERYBODY.
Also we have human nature to reckon with
among ourselves as well ag among passengers
and customers. We, too, are human. We
make mistakes. We get tired. We have our
own little personal troubles and worrlel,
We must accept human nature as it {s in
other folks, and do the best we can to please
it. We'd be foolish to think iof trylng to
change it.
But we DO try to change the human nature
in ourselves, or rather TO BTRENGTHEN
it to make as few mistakes as possible.
