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.” Whole City S g ole Uity Scoured For One Bagpiper Real good biscults are scarce and fipe 014 ham is mighty hard to get and you seldom see a man these days who wears suspenders, but about the scarcest thing in Atlanta these days is bhagpipers, In The Georgian Thursday appeared & want ad setting forth the fact that the Criterion Theater wanted some Scotch bagplpers and wanted them pronto.

Anyhow, Manager Patterson of the Criterion combed the city for one or more pipers, and falling he re sqrted to a Georglan want ad.

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 may have bheen In the same book —I came across the following an ecdote of Bufralo Bill, and my idol agaln was supreme on his ped estal, This was the anecdote: Buffalo Bill's fame as a revolver } ADVERTISEMENT. 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.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti fully darkened, glossy and attractive with a brew of Bage Tea and Sul. phur. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appear ance, this simple mixture was ape plied with wonderful effect By ask. Ing at any drug store for “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,” you will get a large bottle of this old time recipe, improved by the addi tion of other ingredients, all ready to use, for about 60 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the halr, A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wysth's m and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been ap plied—it's 80 ensy to use, too.

This preparation Is & delightful tollet requisite, It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease 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!” : i The First Up Sunday Morning Gets the Comic Section, and soon afterwards is heard a chorus in more than eighty thousand houesholds: | “I’m next for } ’ ’ 79 The Katzenjammer Kids S—— —————————————————— R — Then FATHER takes the Financial Section MOTHER takes the Society Section ' SISTER takes the Dramatic Section BROTHER takes the Sport Section UNCLE JIM takes the City Life Section And everybody waits his turn for the ‘ great Magazine Section of | ) The Sunday American The Most Interesti The R"a?“ ‘é',::’hgg Of All the ‘ The Most dited Th: Most Tahor';u;h Atlanta | The m Enu?aining Sunday ‘ TT: Most V&rd.i.y'lllmwd Newspapers .
