0f Both Continents
(By International News Service.)
CHICAGO, May 26.—Increasing
demand for all-American Jewelry,
designed from ancient models faskh
toned by the Aztecs and Toltecs of
Mexico, has brought to light a strik
ing similaritly between them and
those of the contemporancous Ro
man Empire,
Separated by thousands of miles
of ocean, with absolutely no knowl
edge of each other or the slightest
means of communication, this re
semblance has raised an interesting
question for the scientist. Thus far
investigation has failed to deter
mine whether or not it is more
than coincidence.
The characteristic features of
Roman jewelry were its hroad sur
faces, massive construction, use of
large stones and open-work orna
mentl. The same features are equal
ly true of the aboriginal American
jewelry, and of that of the restora
tion now in vogue,
Betokening strength and luxury,
they both differed radically from
the jewelry of the Greeks and
Etruscans, especially in that the
latter was chiefly distinguished by
its delicate beauty and minutely
cunning workmanship. Compara
tively, it is the difference between
the imposing canvas and the minia
ture. X
Montezuma and the Aztec no
bles~-and their Toltec predecessors
wore this magnificent, colorful
jewelry, and so did the Emperors
and nobles of Rome, at the same
time. Likewise it is, to say the
least, a most striking coincidence
that the Empire of Rome and the
Empire of the Montezuma disap
peared in the same historic era.
The character of Roman jewelry
was influenced in great measure by
belief in mhagical efficiency. So was
that of the Aztecs and Toltecs.
With all of them the wearing of
amulets prevailed, and amber was
regarded by both as a talisman
against danger,
Persistently there arises the
question of a pre-histdric link be
tween the Western and Eastern
Hemispheres, believed by many to
have been an effete civilization on a
continent now lying beneath the
waves of the Atlantic,

Jokers Kidnap Bride

On Wedding Night
BRIDGEWATER, MASS, May 84—
Charles Brownwell, of this town, was the
vietim of an “‘unpractical” joke, in his
opinion; when friends of the young man
kidnapped his bride following the cere
mony, took her to the home of one of
the young women conspirators, and held
her a prisoner until the following morn
ing .
Shortly after the wedding cake had
heen cut an auto drew up in front of the
door and the appearance of thoe bride was
the signal for action by the Kidnappers.
She was hurried into the machine, which
sped away at full speed. Not until the next
morning was She returned to the dis

Medals Suppressed
By Hun Government
(B; Internstional News Service.)
BERLIN, May 25—(via London,
May 26.)—The German Govern
ment today confiscated the entire
stock of dies with which the Lusi
tania memorial medal was made,
realizing that the circulation of
the medals would hurt Germany
in the Entente countries.
The medals had criginally been
printed in a private factory in Ber
lin, but few of them were seen here
during the war.
A few of the medals were carried
out of the country and reproduc
tions were printed in American
publicasions. Officers coming into
Germany sought copies of the med
als, causing the factory to renew
ite output. This caused great
anxiety to the government and seiz
ure of the dies was decided on.

lanta, ‘“worked systematically”’ to get
her to sue him for divorce is claimed
by Mrs. Maude Collins Williams, for
merly of Atlanta, in a suit she filed in
the Superior Court today.
‘““He did everything known to a
heartless brute,’”’ she alleges, ‘‘to break
my spirit, kill my love for him and to
break me down in health. He would
stay from home at nights and play pool,
and take joy rides, and finally left me
and the two children, declaring that he
loved Eva Almond more than he did
me."’
Mrs, Williams claims Williams went
out of the State in company with the
girl, and told her before leaving thar
he did not intend to have ‘“her and
the children spoil his life.”

MONDAY, MAY 26, 1919,
By FLOYD MACGRIFF,
Staff Correspondent of the I. N. S,
LONDON (by mail).—The royal
family is taking its slumming se
riously 1
From outward appearances, King
(leorge is going to get better h(mm-s“
for the working people or bust a gal
lus. In that endeavor his pnthusmsm}
is all but exceeded by that of the
heir-apparent, the Prince of \\'dlt'\'.‘
And the widely heralded ambition of |
these two regal personages will have |
to get a hustle on if it is not to be
outdine by the efforts off Queen Mur,\.‘
who has gone into the by-ways of
Bethnal Green, a slum district of
l.ondon, and #Bbhtained first-hand in
formation of how a considerable num
her of British subjects really live,
Picture papers of wide circulation
show separate exeursions by the
King, Queen or the Prince inspecting
cheerless rows of drab houses on
some ill-kept street that might pass
for Hogan's alley, America, and
chatting with a be-aproned housewife
surrounded by a flock of kiddies or,
possibly, bending over 2 washtub.
And the royal person and the loyal
British housewife then and there ex
change amenities over living in a
hovel where the bathroom consists of
said washtub placed in the middle of
the Kkitchen, where a cramped bed
room furnishes sleeping accommoda
tion for four or more, where the
kiddies’ playground is the street and
the backyard is too small and dark to
permit grass to grow.
They Wake Up.
When there are large areas like
that in every large city, when such
conditions have been the subject of
protest for upward of 60 years—even
the present King’s father twenty
vears ago, urging something be done
about the matter—and when return
ing soldiers are demanding those
places “fit for heroes to live in"” which
L.loyd George promised, the situation
naturally is one the royal family
takes seriously. o
King George says he has been told
500,000 houses are needed rightaway.
He wants more than houses—he
wants the present slums obliterated
and garden houses erected which will
be hcmes the work people will enjoy
and children will thrive in.
While in no way personally respon
sible for this situation, the King feels
that he, perhaps, should lead the way
in reqpedying matters so that the peo
ple will come to realize that actually,
after all, something is to be done for
them now that the King has been so
energetic. There is no desire in any
quarter for communization of houses,
~which had been forcibly carried out
in Russia and Hungary, where Kings
were not so deeply interested .in how
‘or where the working people lived
‘just so their royal hides were well
housed.
‘ Present conditions in England and
attributed partly to building laws, in
ability of working people to pay rents
Y justifying landlords tearing down ten
ements, and lack of interest by em
' ployers who felt their duty ended
with the pay envelopes. War condi
‘tions during the past five years pre
cluded house building.
Demand Housing Scheme.
But now the Government has de
cided to compel each local community
to solve its housing problem to the
entire satisfaction of the state. A bill
which soon will be law will require
every local authonity to prepare with
in three months a housing scheme,
specifying the number and character
of the houses, land to be acquired and
the time within which the scheme is
to be carried out. The state has pow
er to act if the local authority is neg
ligent. Provision will be made for
granting financial assistance toward
erection of houses to local authorities
or public utility societies. Specula
tion in land sites is forbidden. Local
authorities also will have power to
acquire houses and alter or enlarge
them. The state can help pay the
cost of building working class homes
in any city if it chooses. It is official
ly estimated the state will have to
bear an annual rent deficit on these
houses of some $32,000,000.
Cottages for farm laborers are not
to be neglected. Some $125,000,000
probably will be made available for
this purpose during the next five
years.
Dr. Christopher Addison, president
of the local government board, which
swill be in charge of this housing pro
gram, estimates that some 300,000
houses will be completed within two
years. Various schemes for house
building are expected to swamp with
in a year the supply of materials and
workmen available for such enter
prises. Ninety local authorities al
ready have submitted plans for houses
and every encouragement is to be
given them so work can be started at
once Some 460 applications for sites
have been received from various
cities which will provide about 90,000
houses.
Quote King Edward.
King Edward said twenty Yyears
ago:
“There is no question at present of
greater social importance than the
housing of the working classes. We
must sympathize with those who la
ment that greater progress has not
been made in the solution of the diffi
culties which surround this question.
* s s But one thing is certain—
that the difficulties must be sur
mounted.”
It may be remarked that this is the
first time that 2 King of England has
been so genuinely interested in the
housing question and the first time
that King George has so actively in
terested himself in a progressive so
cial reform measure of such wide
portent. And the frequent visits of
the Prince of Wales, who sometimes
has a neighborhood escort—a sort of
chairman, as it were—and of Queen
Mary and her daughter into slumdom
are without precedent in court life.
But it must be remembered that the
present royal family is more demo
cratic than any of its forebears. |

‘¢ SEE in the papers,” remarked the Colonel, as the 5:30 car bumped
l its way over the new rails, “that all the suffragettes in town
went down to the Courthouse today and registered for their first
election. Well, sir, I'm glad my wife doesn’t mix up in politics. She
doesn’t know the first thing about it, and she never takes any interest
in it”
“So I understand,” agreed the Judge.' “In fact, I've heard you re
mark as much before now. But I never stop for a rest and a smoke in
that little park out your way without remembering that it was your
wife who kept on hammering on certain influential individuals until
the tract was purchased. And then she kept on until it was improved
and a playground installed. They ought to name it after her.
“Oh, little things like that are different,” said the Colonel. “Of
course, my wife has taken an interest in parks and schools and such,
just as she helps with the church work. But I'm talking about poli
tics. I never heard my wife talking around about this candidate or that,
and if she ever asked me to vote for or against anybody I don't re
member it.”
“Probably not,” agreed the Judge. “And yet, if you could go back
and analyze the motives that made you vote for a certain Councilman
or Alderman, I'ly bet you'd find the Missus had written your ticket for
you. But I shou.d say your wife is something like mine. She doesn’t
care so much about whether Smith or Brown is her Councilman, because
she knows she can make either one of them do the rlght' thing when
she starts to work on him after election. For instance, your wife has
the right idea. She works for parks and schools and streets, and
doesn’t bother so much about who passes on them. It's things that
count, not the mere men.”
“Did your wife register today?” inquired the Colonel.
“She certainly did,” said the Judge. “She told me all about it at
luncheon.”
“Was she embarrassed, going down there by herself?” asked the
Colonel.
“She didn’t go by herself,” said the Judge. “Your wife took her
down and showed her how.”

VIENNA (via London), May 26.—
While the fate of Austria is being
decided at Paris, Vienna is the scene
of the wildest orgies of drinking,
gambling and dancing. The wealthy
class is showing the utmost apathy
over the outeome of the peace nego
tiations,
The restaurants are crowded at
night with fashionably dressed wom
en. After drinking and dancing, the
restaurant crowds gather in private
gambling halls to spend the rest of
the night playing games of chance.
These gambling places are frequently
raided by soldiers and large sums of
money are confiscated.
While this gayety is current on the
surface there are 150,000 unemployed
who spend the days wandering
tnrough the streets seeking work and
bread
All eyes are turned on Berlin, anx
iously waiting to see whether the
Germans sign the treaty or throw
the country into Bolshevism,

Alleged Auto Thieves
Caught After Chase
M. O. Thompson and C. A. Sutton, of
Kagan Park, are under arrest, charged
with the attempted theft of a touring
car from the Belle Isle Taxicab Com
pany, having been captured after a
chase of 25 miles just before daybreak
Sunday morning by Lieutenant John C.
Hewitt, commander of the Atlanta de
tachment of the provost guard, aided
by several taxicab drivers. They
caught up with Thompson just below
Jonesboro. In the car with Thompson
and Sutton was John Williams, a sol
dier of the quartermaster’s corps at
Camp Gordon. He is charged with ab
sence without leave.
The plan used by Thompson to secure
the car was simple, but effective. He
called the taxicab company and asked
for a touring car to be sent to a certain
hotel, saying the chauffeur was to come
to his room on the third floor when he
arrived. As soon as the driver left the
car, Thompson got in and drove away
to East Point, where he picked up the
other two, Taxicab drivers, however,
started a chase promptly, and just be
low Hapeville they met Lieutenant
Hewitt, coming from Macon in a high
powered car., He made the arrest after
a lively pursuit. g

“The stars inecline, but de mnot compel"
HOROSCOPE.
Monday, May 26, 1919,
This is an uncertain day in pianetary di
rection, according to astrology. Jupiter,
Uranus and the Sun are all in evil plaée.
There may be some sort of uncertainty
in regard to commercial problems, owing
to the malefic influence of Uranus, the
planet that is supposed te cause misjudg
ment and fear, when in sinister aspect.
Warning is given against subtle prop
aganda affecting certain lines of trade and
even financial interests,
Physicians and surgeons may be affect
ed by this same baleful sway of the
stars Reports discounting their contri
butions to public service may be circu
lated and hespitals may be investigated.
A period of widespread accusation, and
reformation of established institutions is
at hand, and seers declare and many will
suffer from unjust imputation, while oth+
ers are deserving of censure.
This is a most unfavorable direction for
those who seek aid from Government of
ficials or from finaneiers, since Uranus en
courages distrust,
There is a sign read as presaging Gov
ernment appointments that will cause see
vere criticism. Changes in certain Fede
eral offices are forecast in the summer.
Saturn today gives promise of temporary
heed to the admonition of aged statesmen
and other persons long accustomed to
authority, but their day of power is past
and voung men and women will rule in
the new era.
Since extremes of opinion will be, mani
fest for the next few months, the set
tling of public problems may be exceed
ingly slow.
Labor is still under a planetary govern
ment making for deliverance from many
hard conditions and great increase in pros
perity
Thle seers declare that there will not be
an :\,r‘m"nMo decrease of either wages
or cost of living for many months.
Persons whose birthdate it is shounld not
speculate or risk money. The domestic
circle should be safeguarded
Chiidren born on this dayv are likely to
he trustworthy and prosperous These sub
jects 2f Gemini, howeyer, often are care
less and extravagant.
