The young Major thought he could. He was a Spug=—a

His sister wasn't. Neither was the girl who brought her

under the tree which the Major was jeeringly helping to

Robert C. Alston, one of the most
prominent and successful among the
younger lawyers of Atlanta, comes hon

son of Judge Augustus H. Alston, of
Alabama, a distinguished jurist, as well
as a famous fighter. The elder Alston
was with Morgan's Cavalry in the Civil
War, and after coming home and taking
up the practice of law he attained great
prominence. He became supernumary
judge of the State of Alabama, with
jurisdiction In law and chancery eourts
of the whole State.
Robert C. Alston was graduated from
the University of Alabama in 1890, and
from the Atlanta Law School in 1803,
and he and his equally weil-known
brother, Philip H. Alston, have formed
cne of the busiest law firms in Atlanta
since then. Mr. Alsion is general coun
sel for the Southern Express (Company.
and represents the Atlantic Coast Line
Rallway in Atlanta. The borthers are
noted for their familiarity with rate and
insurance laws.
Robert Alstcn has been more or less
active in political affairs ever since com
ing to Georgia, serving for a time as
president of the Young Men's Demo
crtaic l.eague of Fuiton County, but he
has never been a candidate for office.
He is a member of the Capital City,

On Hun Towns in Last
1.
Weeks of the Battle
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—During
the last weeks or the Allied offen
sive squadrons of De Haviland 9's
- from both British and American air
forces, were bombing military ob
jectives in the German tewns back
of the Hun lines every day and
night, despite the opposition put
up by the German air squadrons
and anti-aircraft batteries.
This was particularly true in the
neighborhood of Saarbrucken, Kai
serslautern, Treves and Mannheim,
l where the British and American
planes often had to fight their way
100 miles to their objective through
squadron after squadron of fight
ing Hun machines, and then, after
drovping their bombs, had to fight
their way back the whole 100 miles
to their own lines, according to
records made public tonight by the
War Department.
On one occasion twelve De Havi
land 9's attached to the in%epend
ent force of the British R. A, F,
were sent over the lines in two for
mations at 11,000 feet to bomb the
factory at Mannheim at a distance
of well over 100 miles from the
aerodrome, This necessitated a
trip, out and back and allowing for
divergence 'to follow routes and
pick up bearings, of from 250 to
260 miles.
Abount five miles beyond the line
eight enemy scouts determinedly
attacked the formation. The lead
er, however, proceeded to Mann
heim, being all the time attacked
by enemy aircraft which continued
to be reinforced. Over the objec
| tive, fifteen more enemy machines
came and attacked the formation,
while . the bombs were being
dropped. Notwithstanding the pres
{ ence of the enemy machines, six
‘ teen bombs were dropped with good
effect, seven direct hits on the fac
tory were obtained and four fires
were caused. A factory a short dis

Mitchell Family Founded in North by
Experience, in Middle States by George
and in the South by Edward of the
Name.
Of the many colonists of the name of
Mitchell who, in pre-Revolutionary times
came from England or Scotland or Ire
land to make their home in the new
world, it would be fair perhaps to select
Kxperience Mitchell, who migrated in
1623, as the representative founder of
that family in New England; George
Mitchell, who was born in Scotland in
1734 and settled in York, Pa., as a rep
resentative establisner of the name in
the Middle States, and Edward Mitchell,
of South Carolina, who was born in 1700,
as a representative of the Mi'‘chells in
the South.
It is not known where Edwarl Mitch
ell was born_but it is known that he
was of Engilsh descent. Although he
made his home in Charleston, S, C., his
son, James settled in Hanover and Ro
anoke counties, Virginia. He was a
farmer and married Molly Pryor Bcrry.‘
the widow of Major Berry. James and
Molly had a son, Edward, who was a
Methodist minister, and lived first in
Roanoke and later in St. Clair County, |
Illinois. Members of this family am{
located today not only in South (‘uro-‘
lina, Virginia and Illinois, but also in
Philadelphia. ‘

‘ Investigation of meat prices in Atlanta
{ by Carroll Latimer, appointed by the
| food administration to conduct the in
| vestigation, will begin about Wednesday
| of this week, it was announced Monday.
Mr. Latimer has been busy for several
| days arranging for summonging wit
| nesses and preparing data, and it is
| expected the investigation will reach
!h’nm the small retailer clear through
distributor to producer.
1 At the offices of the food administra
tion Monday small encouragement was
given that the investigation will bring
about a reduction in prices. It was ex
fpl;ninv(l that the meat retailer now Is
{ imited to a profit of 25 per cent on
‘th(\ cost of the whol carcass as brought
from the packer’'s branch house Five
i per cent of this is lost in cutting up the
carcass, it is said, leaving teh retailer
a 20 per cent margin.
The price charged by the packer is
lf‘nnlr(mml by the Federal Food Admin
istration, and it is said to give a rea
| sonable profit only
{ The food adminisrration, under the
{ law which created it, is not permitted
| to contrel the price of a product in the
hands of the original producer, so a eat.
; tle raiser may f‘hdl'KP whatever the mar
| ket will bring.
| This is one reason why eggs in At.
:lum:x have reached a hitherto unheard
of price, from 80 cents a dozen upward,

by the food administration of such farm
products in the hands of the producer.

The way to have a regular Clear-Them-Away is to operate on the prices
—steadily, swiftly, surely. Make a clean job of it.
That's the very thing we are doing. W omen will see the remarkableness
of the values and will know how thoroughly we have cut.
Just this one thing. Don't allow the fact that the lots are “broken™ to
suggest that they are less than entirely desirable. It simply means that the vigor

There are all colors and materials and sizes among these Suits—they are

There are Gabardines, Tricotines, Silvertones, Velours, Serges, Poiret
