Returning from an extensive busi
ness trip through Europe Monday,
William J. Lowenstein, president of
Norris Candy Company of Atlanta,
was greatly impressed at the im
portant. role in international trade
and politics the United States was
playing. According to Mr. Lowen
stein, America was either being thor- |
virtues or else was being mildly
oughly berated on certain lack of
praised for the results attained by
the participation of this country in
the world war; that generally Eu
ropeans were looking forward to a
great war between Japan and the
United States,
Mr. Lowenstein's trip to Europe
was in the furtherance of the busi
ness interests of his firm, looking to
the direct importation' of materials
for confections. He obhserved many
of the economic handicaps now con
fronting Europe, but said the lethargy
of Continental Europe was being suc
reeded by an earnest desire to work.
In the near future. Europe would
again be a formidable producer and
a keen competitor of the United
States.
France, Germany, Italy, Spain and
Belgium were some of the countries
he vigsited. Only in Italy, where, owing
to President Wilson's interference in
the Adriatic question, did he find
hatred against United States. In some
parts of Italy, official cars have been
threatened and some municipalities
which in the early enthusiasm follow
ing the entrance of this country into
the war had named their streets after
Mr. Wilson are now reconsidering
their action,
In England some mild resentment
is felt against the United States on
such minor matters as the alleged
boasting of American soldiers on their
part in the war. It is commenrcially,
however, that the English are show
ing the keenest interest and Mr.
Lowenstein advocates immediately
the expansion of the merchant marine
policy of this country.
In Germany he found little bitter
ness agaimst America, as most of the
Germans concentrate in their feelings
towards France their traditional
enemy, while France is really quite
grateful to the United States for its
aid during the war. On the sur
face, however, owing to the fact that
the doughboys were uniformly suc
cessful in affairs of the heart, the
male part of the French population
have a resentment against this coun
try.
Mr. Lowenstein emphasized the at
titude of the Europeans towards the
alleged democracy of the United
States. They are more or less amused
at the nfforts of this country to make
the world safe for democracy, when
they in turn allege that the United
States in itself is one of the most
powerful autocracies, and that the
President of the United States has
more power than any potentate in
Europe.

“They’re after me, they're after
me, where can I hide?” I circled the
city desk and made for a nice dark
telephone booth in the corner. ‘
“Hey! If it'’s a riot story, write it,
don’t act it,” called the city editor as
I slammed the door, my knees shak
ing.
“Honest, they’re after me,” I quaked
sticking my head out.
“Who's after you?” he questioned.
*“P_P-Pinkerton's detecatives.” With
difficulty I suppressed a sob.
“Now, what have you been doing?”
asked the C. E.
~ “Nothin’, honest to heavens, I swear,
‘nothing, but those old Dicky birds

“Let me get where they can't see

I'm scared to let 'em see my hair for

“It's not a disguise, it's a disgrace,”
declared the C. E. heartlessly. “But
tell me all about it.”
I edged out of the booth inch by

“Well, you see, I was down stairs

“We shall seek to avoid any en

Bottle of Wood Alcohol
Is Taken From Negro
A group of loungers at police head
quarters sidled to a strategic posi
tion near the vault of the custodian
of contraband Saturday night when
a tall bottle full of a clear fluid was
brought in from a raid. They sidled
away again, however, as the raiding
officers labeled it: “Wood Alcohol!
Beware!"
The poisonous liquid was taken
from Fred Bailey, alias John Hanry
Bailey, a negro, at his home, 7 Hor

Morgan. Bailey was held in default

knew I hadn’t done a thing, those men
are awful hard to convince, talk as
you may. Then they ask an awful
lot of very personal questions and if
you have one freckle on your reputa

that there's a thing on my conscience.
“Suddenly I decided that it was
some of the newspaper boys at the
police station trying to tease me. So
after 2 pause I said ‘Don’t try to kid

“And he's coming. And there aint
a bit of use for me to talk to him.
You talk to him, and tell him what a
nice, quiet girl I am. Detectives al

And just then the elevator arrived.
I returned into the telephone booth,
closed my eyes and joined myself in
silent prayer.

“Come on out, little girl” said a
nice male voice after a moment (Isn’t
1t queer how different voices sound
over the telephone?) “I just want to
talk to you and show you one of the
penalties of being locally famous.”
And the nice Pinkerton person pulled
out a record from New Orleans show
ing where a girl had registered under
'my name.
~ “This girl's name is Florence, or
rather ‘Flo.’ She is a criminal, known
here and wanted with the man and
woman with whom she is now travel
ing for stealing autos and aiding and
abetting criminals to escape. Flo is
fat and a brunetie, though,” he
laughed.
“I thought you wanted me” I said
weakly., “I'm awfully glad you don’t
though. Perhaps some other ilme.
Come again.”
Gee! . It's hard on your nerves to
be famous!

Nurses’ Dormitory
.
Threatened by Fire
The new dormitory for nurses of
Grady Hospital was threatened by
fire early Sunday morning, when a
negro frame: dwelling adjoining at 105
Pratt street was destroyed. The ab
sence of high winds was the main
factor in saving the nurses’ home.
Five other fire calls were answered
by the department Sunday, all con
fined to slight damages to roofs
cavsed by defective flues or sparks
from chimneys. They were:
~ One story frame dwelling owned
by W. B. Anderson and occupied by
J. T. Petty; residence owned by Mrs,
N. A. French and occupied by Mrs.
R. C. Etheridge at 402 Angier ave
nue; dwelling owned by the Georgia
Realty Company and occupied by G.
W. Allen at 25 Stewart avenue; ne
gro dwelling at 17 Trenholm street,
and residence of B. C. Foley at 222
South Pryor street. The fire in the
latter instance had its origin in
sparks from chimneys, resulting in
considerable damage to the roof,

Staff Correspondent of the Interna
tional News Service and the
London Daily Express.
PORT SAID, March 15.—01 d trav
elers come ashore and smile sadly.
New travelers plunge into the strong
hold of curio merchants with surprise
and disappointment. Port Said, like
the rest of the world, has been
chanzed by the war. Port Said, to
be quite frank, has been cleaned up.
Time was when a brief saunter
through the ramshackle bazaar meant
a terrific battle with touts. Shady
gentlemen of all nationalities, most
of them known to the police of two
continents, plied their disreputable
trades with impunity. An incredible
amount of rubbish was carted away
by teurists in memory of a few hours’
stay. Murder was a pastime after
dark, and many sinister stories were
told in the smoking rooms of depart
ing liners, of Rort Said's wicked in
habitants. :
NEARLY RESPECTABLE.
Now this gatewgy to the East is
safe and nearly respectable. The
hand of the A. P. M. has been laid in
no uncertain manner on the under
world which was the real Port Said.
Deportations eased the town of its
international rogues and vagabonds.
A passport control second to none in
effectiveess keeps a tight grip on the
polyglot population. Murder, even
routine robbery, which was a staple
industry on steamer days, is discour
aged by the representatives of Brit
ish rule.
Gone, too; is the atmosphere of
piracy and pillage maintained by
brazen guides and other varieties of
profiteers. They were.wont to seize
on amiable and inquisitive tourists
with the persistence of a leech. They
would extract money by entreaties,
argument, threats, even violence.
Now the touts and trinket sellers
and ragged footblacks approach their
prey with marked diffidence. A sin
gle sharp refusal usually suffices to
turn them off. They drop the trail
immediately they see that no business
is to be done.
FEAR AUSTRALIANS,
“They never know,” said a cynical
English resident, “when they are
likely to run against an Australian in
mufti.”
The Australians, it appears, dis
couraged their attentions in a simple,
direct fashion characteristic of the
breed. A blow squarely on the point
of the jaw usually followed the third
application for alms or a refusal to
“buzz off.” Broken heads were
plengiful 'in «Port Said until the na
tive parasite and his Levantine
hrother learned wisdom.
The lesson sticks in their minds.
Achmed will plead for patronage for
his harbor boats; Mohammed trots
beside you with a- plaintive appeal to
be allowed to “show you all the city”;
the little Achmede and Mohammeds
still race “grough the dust—mean
while adroitly scattering it on your
boots—with shrill offers to “shine 'em
up, all bright,” but they keep a wary
eve on walking sticks, and soon drop
away.
DINGIER THAN EVER.
Port Said is even dingier, more
down-at-heel than when I last saw it
before the war. The dingy, unpainted
wooden buildings, sprawling against
each other, their verandas littered
with every variety of rubbish give its
principal street the appearance of a
third-rate earl’'s court at the end of
a hard winter. Shops crammed with
tawdry wares, calculated to catch the
inexperienced eye, still fill it from
end to end. Fat Levatines keep fur
tively through half-open doors, ready
to pounce on the first traveler who
hesitates before the window.
The hotels on the water front house
an ever-changing, ever-gloomy horde
of travelers. They come from Cairo
and beyond, hunting for a berth in
overcrowded ships. They wait the
pleasure of dirty little coastwise car
go boats, in which they are to be car
ried up to Syria. They learn the value
of patience and the unwisdom of
trusting any prophecy as the date of
their departure. Life in Port Said is
just one postponement after another.
A few soldiers wander about the
streets; occasionally two mounted
police in khaki ride along the harbor
front. Officers who seem steeped in
a gentle pessimism give each other
tea outside the eastern lounge, and
talk of being *“demobbed.” No one
seems particularly cheerful. Reformed
and chastened as it is, Port Said can
not be called an ideal spot. The men
who must stay here look enviously at
the happy travelers who pass through
day after day homeward bound.

And the lid will be kicked off the

All because Keller Melton of Kappa
Alpha and a student at Georgia Tech
is the winner of a—or, rather, the
writer of a—*“best last line” in the
limerick contest of The Georgian.
And—oh, boy!—he gets SSO for the
line!
No. 29 in The Georgian's series, and
here's the whole limerick: '
A man who lives out Euclid way
Got a seat on a street car, one
day;
The surpirse was sp great
» That it addled his pate,
And he thought he was going
astray,
And with the award of No. 29 the
limerick fans of The Georgian have
been given just $1,5600. For twenty
eight “best last lines” the sum of SSO
each was paid and for one of them
4100 was paid, two persons having
submitted the same “best last line.”
The limerick game continues—bet
ter get in and try for one of those
SSO. A new winner a day, a new
limerick a day, a new fifty a day.

Maude's Future Is
.
Not Bright, but Her
Past Is Even Darker
Maude had been idling and loiter
ing.
So the police picked up Maude and
put her in the city bastile, She dis
played no emotion, contentedly eat
ing whatever was placed before her
and being absorbed in introspection.
And all efforts to find any one who
\could tell of Maude's yast or her us
ual place of habitation were unavail
ing. Maude was a sphinx.
Her indifference irritated the pe
lice and they redoubled their efforts
to unwind the tangled threads of
Maude’s past and reveal to the world
her connections and her former dissi
pations, and Maude raised her head
and gave them a near horse laugh.

10 o'clock, Chief Beavers will auction
off one female, mouse-colored don
key, answering to the name of
Maude, who seems to be. a nomad,
without kith or kin, and has been
enjoying a month's rest in the city
pound,
Maude’s appetite being as zestful
as though her good name was not
now under a cloud, the city guardians
were forced to take this drastic step
lest Maude force them into bank
ruptcy. She was informed Monday
of the auction. <
“He haw,’ murmured she, coyly
laying back her left ear, while she
| coquettishly lifted her right foot in
an airy ballet step.
And, awaiting the fatal hour,
Maude enjoys her maiden medita
tions, fancy free.

Millionaire Kendall
Sells His Beautiful
Thomasville Home
THOMASVILLE, Ga., March 15.—
The sale by Lyman B. Kendall of
New York to Homer Williams of this
city of thé winter home near Thom
asville purchased by him last spring
came as a surprise here, as Mr. Ken
dall had bought it as a winter home
for Mrs. Kendall and himself. It ls‘
understood, however, that the, dilfi-l
culty of conducting his Wall Street
business satisfactorily from here,
where he could not use a private wire,
was the reason for the sale. '
The property comprised over 1,600
acres, 800 of it virgin yellow pine
that has never been touched. This
Mr. Williams will reserve for cutting,
and the remainder contiguois to the
residence will be kept as it is, the
house probably being put upon the
market. While the sale price was not
given out, it is understood to have
been large. The property is on the
Dixie Highway a few miles from
Thomasville.
Mr. Kendall purchased the place
last spring shortly after his marriage
to Miss Betty Lee, Thomasville hav
ing been her girlhood home. Mr,
Kendall and she desired to spend
their winters here. It is probable
they will in future go to Palm Beacnh,
as there are greater conveniences
there for handling business to New
York.
Largest Melon Crop on
Record in Ware County
WAYCROSS, Ga., March 15.—The
watermelon crop in this section will
be larger this year than ever before.
Efforts are being made to establish
a cash market. The crop last year
was short, due to weather conditions,
but farmers realized a large amount
from the crop. If conditions are fa
vorable and the crop as heavy as ex
pected, it will become one of the lead
ing money crops of Sbuth Georgia.

poos leave the hair sticky and covered

endangers its life and makes it harsh,
lifeless and ugly. For the hair only

hair glossy, silky, fluffy and wayy
Your mirror will tell you why Shuca
Shampoo makes hair with a thousand
lights. At all good druggists.—Adv.
