E j '

Returning from an extensive busi
ness trir 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 eertain lack of
vraised for the results attained by
the participation of this country in
Yhe world war; that generally Eu
ropeans were looking fcrward to a
| great war between Japan and the
Tnited 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 observed many
of the economic handicaps now con
fronting Europe, but said the lethargy
of Continental Burope was being suc
reeded by an earnest desire to work.
¥n the near future. Burope would
again be a formidable producer and
@ keen competitor of the United
States.
France, Germany, Italy, Spain and
Belgium were some of the countries
he visitad. 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
#s felt agalnst the United States on
such minor matters as the alleged
boasting of American soldiers on their
part in the war. It is commercially,
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 against 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 Kuropeans towards the
alleged democracy of the United
States. They are more or less amused
at the =fforts 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
Ilurope. :

“They're after me, they're after
me, where can 1 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. B. -
“Nothin’, honest to heavens, I swear,
nothing, but those old Dicky birds
got my name on their calling list and
now I hear 'em calling me. Wow!
Wow! I feel just like Lize crossing
the ice. Bring on the blood hounds.
Bring on little Eva. I'm done for,
with not a cake of ice in sight.
HA! WE ALL THORT 8O!
“Let me get where they can't see
me from the elevator and I'll explain.
I'm scared to let ’em see my hair for
they will swear it's a disguise.” ‘
“It’s not a disguise, it's a disgrace,”
declared the C. E. heartlessly. “But
tell me all about it.” 1
1 edged out of the booth inch by
inch. 1
“Well, you see, I was down stairs
buying my weekly quota of stamps
when the girl called me {o the tele

“‘Miss Peggy Wells? says a big

“‘Uh, huh?" I nodded into the trans

Agency. A notice from the Pinkerton
iotrice in New Orleans shows us that
you were in the company of criminals
in New Orleans in February and we
want you for alding and abetting

voice.
“‘Says which? I mumbled weakly
into the telephone, trying to keep my

Four Nominations for
New Road Board Made
COLUMBIA, 8. €., March 16.—
Capt. J. Roy Pennell, State highway
engineer, has announced four men
who will be recommended to the
new highway commission to be in
\charge of the division offices the de
| partment plans to establish soon.
They are J. D. Gregory, to be ap
pointed head of the division office
’in Columbia, W. 8. Lewis for the
! Florence division, L. M. Weisiger
|for the Laurens office and H. C.
Orr for the Charleston division.
1t is planned to divide the State
into four sections, with a division
engineer in charge of each. Three
| employees will be at each division
ioffice and all resident engineers wiil
' report to the division office which in
turn will report to the head office in
Columbia.
‘hotel, the Bertillon man saying T.ook
pleasant, please,’ and ‘Mornin,’ Judge,’
floated before me, and, although I
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
tion they are sure to find it. Not
that there’s a thing on my conscience.
“Suddenly 1 decided that it was
some of the newspaper boys at the
police station trying to tease me. So
after a pause I said ‘Don’t try to kid
me, guy. You're stepping on your
foot. Don't try to kid me.
“‘l'm not trying to kid me. I am
coming over there and show you that
on the night of February 17 you were
registered at the De Soto Hotel and
occupied Toom 809. A copy of the
hotel register shows the name Miss
Peggy Wells. I'll be right over with
the record.’
“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
ways make me nervous. I-I can’t get
used to them.”
And just then the elevator arrived.
I returned into the telephone booth,
closed my eyes and joined myself in
silent prayer.
OUR HEROINE COMES CLEAN.
“Come on out, little girl” said a
nice male voice after a moment (Isn’t
it 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. FKlo is
fat and a brunette, though,” he
laughed.
“T thought you wanted me,” I said
weakly. “I'm awfully glad you don't
though. Perhaps some other time.
Come again.”
~ Gee! It's hard on your nerves to
be famous!
Pasquale Amato, a :ittle more gray
than when here two years ago, but
with the same youth in his smile
and in his step, was at the Georgian
Terrace Monday greeting old friends
and soaking up sunshine on the fa
miliar verandas where he had posed
for so many snapshots.
Mr. Amato is here for his recital
at the Auditorium Monday night, the
first he ras ever given in Atlanta.
He was kept busy promising to sing
certain favorite numbers for his
friends. It was only because many
of them had chosen th 2 same air that
he was able to make the promises,
and even then his encore list had
grown formidably larze before noon.
“They want the “Toreador’ song
from ‘Carmen,’ if seems,” said the
baritone. “They liked it at Savan
nah, too.” :
Miss Kitty Beale, a young soprano,
who appears with Mr. Amato, was
making new friends at thie Terrace.
She has Leen with the Metropolitan
this season, singing light ccloratura
roles, notably one in the new Puccini
opera “Gianni Sechicchi” She is to
sing an air from that work Monday
night, the “O Mio Babbino Caro,”
as well as the “Caro Nome” from
“Rigoletto” and a duet with Amato.
The baritone’'s program will in
clude the famous “Prclogue” from
“Pagliacci,” the “Idea'e” of Tosti and
a number of songs nutside the field
of opera. He will sing the “Torea
dor” as an encore.
Jack Salter of the KEvuns-Salter
Musical Bureau, returned Monday |
from Savannah, where Amato sang
Saturday night to a big house.
“It was his third recital there,”
said Mr, Salter, “and it was perhaps
the most successful of all. Amato
was in excellent voice, and he thrilled
the audience with his big numbeva
Miss Kitty Beale is a young soprano
who will surprise you by the fresh
ness and sweetness of her voice. Fue
is magnificently gowned for her con
cert appearances, and vou wiil find:
that she will share the applaase with'
even such a favorite as Amato." ‘
The sale of tickets for the Amato
recital was under way a the Cable’
Piano store Monday. It will be trans

A Clean Newspaper for Southern Homes
By GEORGE H. MANNING,
Georgian’s Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON, March 15.—Mem
bers of Congress from the Southern
| States fear that because of the pas
sage of the railroad bill and big rail
road companies in that section will
discontinue operation of a large num
ber of short lines, conducted .as
branches of the big roads, because
they are not making money.
This step will be taken by the
larger railroads, the Southern con
gressmen believe, to offset the au
thority given the government in the
recently passed railroad bill to take
‘all railroad earnings over 5 1-2 per
cent and turn them over to the poorer
roads. They may also take the step,
it is pointed out, because under the
railroad bill the Interstate Commerce
Comuission is barred for 90 days
from restraining them.
. There are a large number of small
railroads in the South which do not
individually make money, now oper
ated as branches of the big railroads,
that could be shut down now at the
will of the large roads.
TWO ALREADY CLOSED.
Two short lines have aiready been
shut down in Georgia—the line from
Roswell to Chamblee, and that from
Lawrence to Suwa.ee. Other shut
downs are expected in Georgia, Flori
da, North and South Carolina and
Virginia. |
‘“The big railroads, I believe, are
going to, drop all the little fellows
that do not make money in an effort
to make it unnecessary to take any
considerable earnings from the large
roads and give them to the short
lines,” said Congressman Thomas
Bell of Georgia today . "“The pro
vision in the railroad bill «iving them
ninety days beforejg the Interstate
Commerce Commission has controll
over them in this respect was a fine
‘joker’ for the railroads. It gives them
time to drop the short lines and
‘divest themselves of all interest in
‘them before the commission can ex
‘tend a restraining band. !
LAWRENCE LINE ONE.
“The Southern Railroad’s lease on
the short liné from Lawrence to Su
wanee had expired. The little road
was owned by private capital, and
leased to the Southern, which owned
the engines and rolling stock. The
short line did not make money, the
Southern claimed, so it withdrew its
engines and cars from the line on the
day the railroads went back from
government operation to private con
trol and the Southern notified the
owners it did not desire longer to use
the road. We are helpless.
“At the end of ninety days when
the Interstate Cammerce Commission
again has control over the railroads
efforts will be made to have the com
mission direct the big railroads to re
new operation of the short lines on
the ground that it is a public neces
sity and provided for under the rail
road bill.” .
Rev. Chafer’s Sermons
Draw Many Hearers
Large congregations attended the
two services at Pryor Street Presby
terian Church Sunday to hear the
Rev. Lewis Sperry Chafer of New
York, who is conducting a series of
special meetings in that church, to
continue afternoon and evening
throughout this week. At the morn
ing service Doctor Chafer spoke on
“The Career of Satan,” and in the
evening he spoke on ‘“Satan’s Modern
Devices.”
Monday evening’s subject is “The

Sunday morning’s services at the

called “Loyaity Week” and this
week will be known as “Victory

At the morning service about sev
enty-five new members were received

Sells His Beautiful
Thomasville Home
THOMASVILLE, Ga., March 15—
The sale by Lyman B. Kendall of
New York to Homer Wlliams of this
city of the 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 is
understood, however, that the diffi
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 contiguous 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 unfierstood 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 Beach,
as there are greater conveniences
there for handling business to Newy
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 South Georgia.
