ATLANTA SHRINERS
 MAY HAVE NEW HOME
Hope to Have Temple Ready at the Next Annual Meeting
 Year Hence

Atlanta, December 16.-(Special)-By the time that the next annual meeting or Yaarab temple of the Mystic Shrine IS held, one year from date, 1t is very prob able that the order will have home or it's own.
 For some time the Atlanta temple has been planning home, but to date the plans have never materilized. It now look, as if sufficient funds will be on hand to start the new home, and then it will be only a matter of a short time before the nobles will pay all the ex- penses.
 The Atlanta temple is the strongest and the richest in Georgia. There are only three in Georgia. one in Atlanta, another in Savannah and the third in Macon.
 Ths Atlanta shrine was organized under dispensation 21 years ago. Harry Stock dell was the first illustrious potentate anJ held that position for 10 years. Then he was succeeded by Forrest Adair, who served for il years.
 Deciding that he had served long enough he refused to stand for reelection at the last annual meeting, and John Hynds, one of the best known lawyers of the city, was chosen to succeed him.

 Whether MT. Carey should get this raise or not of course is matter for. the de- cson of the park commission, of the sal ary commmittee and of the finance com niittee, after which general council has a whack at the apportionment sheet.
 But when it is considered that Mr. Carey has had row after row with the park board, and in all of them has won out by the skin of his teeth, 1t is clearly shown that he does not fear consequences. There are many friends of Mir Carey s. however, who believe that he is worth the additional amount he asks, and he has a good chance to get it.
 Mir. Carey is only one of many, how ever who want more money than they are getting at the present time.
 An increase has been urged in the sal ary of Probation Officer Gleer. It has been urged that the salary of the prison physician be raised so as to make it equal to that of the two city physicians w. D. Green, street improvement coll lector, and City Marshal J. M. Fuller both stated that their duties had greatly increased and that they were both due an increase In salary over that rece,ved at the present time.
 It was agreed upon that F. A. Quillan, chairman of the bond commission, had been elected for a term of two years, and that at the conclusion. of that time there would be no further need for their services, and no further use of the of flee

which the life of the great actor was filled.
 The main story is completely wrapped about these separate stories, and al though it is complicated, having many details of its own, it is never confused by them nor is the interest lessened by the Interruptions. This is tribute to the entertaining quality of the stories. The plot is regular Chinese puzzle, but the author has made it fit to- gether without a flaw and although he announces in his dedication that 1t IS an attempt of fancy To rival fact, he makes 1t seem possible.
 It is a continual whirl of action, char> acter after character Is introduced, and there is never a moment that the atten- ton Is allowed to lag. ATr. Burgess has not written a sentence that could be dis pensed with. He has made his actors at tractive or at least vitaliy interesting. The fleeting glimpses one catches of Belle Charmion as she drifts on and off tine scene are tantaliziug. She is like a beau tiful mirage which fades just when one is about 10 come up with it. Fenton Is also thoroughly human, thoroughly lik- able. The williams are black enough to please the excitement hungry and there is some good phyehology worked into the whole.

 "The Shadow Men" is a terrific ar raignment of "the men higher up ? which conveniently keeps on hand an innocent and ignorant victim 10 offer up to the laws vengeance when the tcrash" comes.
 There is no muck raking" in the story-no mud and dirt-but the sim pie story of a scapegoat's struggle to evade an apparent destiny inspired by his love for a woman and aided by d loyal friend.
 The setting of the novel is in the commercial world which affords the author an excellent opportunity to have the characters express themselves on legal. business and political affairs of the day which they do in a fearless, vigorous manner.
 The love story is interesting and ab- sorbing and the book brings before the reader a question of serious con sideration as affairs of national i'm portance, which MT. Richberg has treat ed with the skill of an intelligent ob- server and an interested reporter of events.

 tBy Gelett Burgess. Illustrated by Worth Brehm. The Bobbs-Merrill Co.,, IndianapobS.)
 From the Pen of MT Gelett Burgess, whose little quartrain The Purple Cow set the whole United States laughing, one always expects something daringly different and MT. Burgess has yet to disappoint his readers. Everything Ee has ever written contains the flavor Of originality and in his latest book, "Find the Woman" he has thrown all the rules of fiction writing to the winds and produced a result so utterly out of the ordinary that one must stop and wonder how even Burgess could have done it. It seems to be a successful amalgamation of o. Henry, Rob Tt Louis Stevenson and Gelett Burgess gurely a winning combination
 ''Fnd the Woman unfolds a tale of love, adventure, mystery, robbery, mrr- der, stolen towels, mistaken identity end heroics. Thirteen short stories are woven into one long one, and while each short story is entirely com plete that it might be read with pleas ure as a unit, yet all of them have a direct bearing on the plot. Every one Of these short stories is good; some of them remarkably so. They vary in character from profound tragedy to bowling farce and some of them are searching character studies, as The Middle Class Girl, The Ruby Neck lace and The Story of Mansfield This latter. by the way, has It's basis of fact, disclosing for the first time one of the little human interest touches with

THE HEART OF THE BIBLE"

THE HEART OF THE BIBLE"
 Especially prepared for Young Peo-
 pie, Parents and Teachers, by Ella
 Broadus Robertson. Thomas Nelson
 & Sons, New York
 If l were Santa Claus I would put into the hands of every child and parent in the United States a copy of "The Heart of the Bible," which is compiled and edited by Ella Broadus Robertson.
 It would be in the nature of an edu- cation to many who know only cur sorily the Bible and it's beauties.
 Children particularly love to have the stories read directly to them from the Bible-and yet they are often too difficult to understand and little tots' get into things far beyond their wears
 The Heart of the Bible" tells the Bible stories in Bible language with the necessary omissions, but giving the Hull dramatic effect when read aloud and Is the result of long experience and careful preparation.
 A mother who had tried many books with her three children, always coming back to the Bible, began when the fourth child learned to read, to make a book at his request of Bible stories, just as they are told in the Bible, clipping the stories and shortening them. Take the long narrative, for. instonce, like the Deluge, which being handled by this method resolves itself into four short sections, namely. Noah Builds the Ark" Noah Saved in the Ark" 'The Raven and the Dove" and "The Rainbow Covenant"
 When the story of Joseph was reached, the selection of analysis brought out with startling vividness the movement of the story to the editors mind and she was greatly impressed with the possi- hilities of such work and she has done concisely and clearly the stories of the Bible in this way into most delightful reading matter.
 Besides being unique in other ways. 'The Heart of the Bibe' is different from any other book published, in that 1t contains all the principal stories and events of the Bible in historical order in the language of the Bible itself. using the text of the American standard yer sion, the latest and best translation. This 1 book will be help and inspiration, not only to children, parents and teachers but to Bible students as well, because It gives a complete grasp of the whole Bible and retains the literary charm of the Bible language.
