Here’s the official anti-flu mask, such as is worn by the thou
sands of soldiers at Camp Gordon and which may become a common
sight in Atlanta if the influenza epidemie spreads alarmingly. The
mask shown is worn by Miss Gertrude Dodd. It is a strip of gauze
that keeps the flu germs from the nostrils and mouth and is said
to be a sure preventive if put on before the d Ise takes hold A
mere man remarked Tuesday that it never would become popular
with the pretty women of Atlanta. Maybe not. Miss Dodd is a
beautiful young woman, but you couldn’t tell it from this picture,
New Point Is Raised
i
In Poole Ouster Case
The springing of a new point of law
in behalf of Harry G, Poole, police eom
mission chairman, Tuesday causcd a
postponement to Friday morning of the
ouster proceedings instituted against
him by B. ‘Bernard, the auctioneer, and
which were scheduled for hearing Tues
day before Judge George L. Bell, in the
motion divisfon of Superior Court,
Attorney James L. Key, Mavor-clect
and counsel for the police chairman
submitted a demurrer, in which he
asked that the proceedings be dismissed
on the ground that a corporation can
not go into court to oust § official
from office, Bernard having brought the
suit in the name of his concern, the
Southern Auction and Salvage Com
pany. Bernard lives outzide of the city,
and for this reason brought the action
in the name of the corporation,
As this question was expected to gov
ern the case, Attorney I, Mallory Hunt,
counge! for Bernard, asked further time
in which to prepare to meet it, He sald
he was satisfied that under the law a
corporation had the right to bring ouster
proceedings.

left undone to open the schools at the

Directors and credit men represent
ing every Atlanta bank and trust
company were in conference Tuesday
with Chairman Forrest Adair, going
over the list of well-to-do men and‘
setting down opposite their names the
amount of Liberty bonds they should
be able to buy without difficulty. The
city commitiee, with the influence of
-the-bankers vehind them, was deter
mined that the wealthy men of At
larta must do their share in this cam
paign or put up a mighty good alibi.
The publication of the names of all
subscribers was expected to have
some influence on this. The total At-l
lanta subscriptions up to Tuesday
were approximately $6,500,000, while
the quota is $14,000,000,
“You'd be surprised to see the list
of really wealthy men who have sub
scribed to one SIOO bond throuxh‘
some woman committee worker,” sgid‘
Mr. Adair Tuesday. “Look at this
list Here's a SI,OOO bond taken by‘
a Greek owner of a bootblack stand.
Here's another SI,OOO next to its
bought by a man who should have
taken SIO,OOO at least.” ‘
Mr. Adair Monday night addressed
a meeting of bank directors represent
ing every financial institution in the
city, called to discuss the situation.
He told them the exact facts and
urged them to see that the men who
are abie to invest large amounts are
prevailed upon te do so. He pointed
out that it fs to the banks that the|
Treasury Department looks for re
sults; that it will reflect upon the
banks if the loan fails.
Bankers Drafted.
A. P. Coles, of the Central Bank
and Trust Company, presided. On a
resolution by John E. Murphy and Asn‘
G. Candelr it was voted unanimously
that each bank president should nu-‘
tify the directors that they are sub- |
ject to eall by Chairman Adair at any
me A 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon
the bankers will meet to make plans
for direct calls on the men with
money. The bankers, of course, know
the financial condition of practically
every well-to-do man in Atlanta and
are in a position to wield consider
able influence over them.
The Clearing House Association at
Its meeting Tuesday afternoon will
discuss a proposal to aceept 90-day
notes at 4 1-4 per cent interest In pay
ment of bonds in amounts of SI,OOO
and upward, with the privilege of
three 90-day renewals at the same
rate, which is that paid on the bonds,
Purchasers would thus be able to car
ry tonds for some time without ac
tual interest expense
‘Wealthy Atlantans must trable
and quadruple their subscriptions in
the third loan,” declared Mr. Adair at
the conference It is up to you gen
tlermen, who have the information and
the influence, to see that they do fit.
It is merely a question of passing on
‘ the eredit of the United States, of as
suring your customers that bonds are
| a good investment and an A-No, 1
| risk
' We have met many difficulties In
this campalgn The cotton price
fixing, under discussion at the open
ing, delayed us The high tax rate
proved an obstacle, and the draft of
older men had serlous effect But |

‘The most insidious bit of propa

At the district headquarters W,
Wardlaw, executive chairman, an
nounced that about half the county
chairmen of the 427 in the Adistrict
had made reports. His estimate of
| the subscriptions in hand was $50,-

Children In Atlanta public schools
have a higher mark to shoot at this
year. The Board of Education &t u spe
clal meeting Tuesday fixed 70 ber ecent
a 8 the grade necessary for promotion in
both grammar school and hig‘,‘_gch:ml
‘grades. The mark has been 66 {ipi cent
in grammar schools and 65 per ‘¢ent in
high schools. a
The change was made upon rEEHIN
mendation of the board's commithi¢in
rules; composed of a number of sihoul
officials and principals and several Wingi
bers of the board. A few words of tin
tative objection were neard, princiyilly,
from Commissioner A. J. Orme, wijy
wanted to know If the requiremenii
were not already too severe, and from:
Commissioner W. H. Terrell, But wihiéy
C, 8, Culver, acting superintendent, ex
plained that the recommendations wers
made after expert investigation and
out of a desire to make uniform the re.
quirements of grammar and high
schools, the chamge was made without
‘dh-'swn(.
The new system eliminates grade T
from the report cards, and provides for
the following grades: A, 100 to 90, excel
dent; B, 9% to 80, good; C, 80 to 70, fair;
D, below 70, unsatisfactory.
Another tSHU’IK" in the rules concerned
the requirements necessary for advance
of teachers to the sixth group, which is
the honor group In addition to other
eligibles, the change makes eligible to
this group teachers who have received
a general average of suprviscr's grades
of 95 per cent or more and who have
taught in the public schools @ Atlanta
continuously for ten years
