Caterer Holds Plate Glass Keeps Out Insects
is A SCREEN DOOR2
What is a screen?

What is a screen?
MS question today is puzzling city
ofncials. The puzzle grows out Of the
city health law requiring screens in
restaurants, fruit stores and other such
places. Peter Brown, Greek proprietor
OF the Arcade restaurant, 80 Peachtree
street, raised the question and has set
the wise ones guessing.
Brown holds that plate glass doors
are screens-better even than wire
screens-and hence has been operat ting
MS Peachtree restaurant without the
customary wire screens. The city ordi-
nance stlpulates that screens shall be
provided to keep out flies and other
insects There's no provision as to
the KIND of screens TO be used
bfoWn says the dictionary describes
screen as Shield" and that. there
lore' plate glass serves the purpose.
Or. VanDyke's Wow Different.
Inc hrst to take issue with Browns
construction of the law was DR.. Arthur
h FanDyke, chairman of the sanitary
committee of the city council and
member of the board of health. DR..
NdnDyke CONSTITUTES the law on screens
TO mean wire screens pure and simple
and accordingly instructed Health In
spector Wasser to make a case again,

And make case against him every
oay his place is without screens, too,
he cant defy the law this way" added
DR.. NanDyke.
When Inspector Wasser informed
Brown he would have to make a ca se
against him, the restaurant man aereed
TO remove the plate glass and substi-
S Tue wire screens rather than to face a
long fight in the court to test the noint

MAYOR WILL VETO
YST.REPA AIR ACT
Vim Says Project Would Take
Too Much of the City's
Future Income.

Mayor Winn will veto the Ivy street
Improvement project when it gets to
him, according to a report among
councilmen today. His reason is that
an approval of the plan would appro
pirate future revenue OF the city and
that too much of the future revenue
already has been apportioned
The mayor thinks the moral obliga
ton" scheme is being overworked.
While the aldermanic board yester-
day afternoon adopted the resolution
passed at the last meeting Of council
providing that the regarding and re-
paving of Ivy street be begun as soon
as the work at the junction of the two
Peachtrees is completed. Alderman
John E. McClelland used his official
prerogative to hold up final action for
two weeks.
Agree on Georgia Avenue Work.
After Alderman McClelland made his
motion, Alderman John S. Gambler, who
is also mayor pro TEN, said that he
would have vetoed the project if it had
come to him as acting mayor
The board approved the plan to take
IS 900 from each of the funds to i'm
prove Fair street and Boulevard and
apply it to the work of regarding Geor-
gia avenue. Final approval of this
project is up to Mayor VIM.
Both of these projects have been Jug
gled by the council for many weeks.
The widening of Peachtree street its
entire length was mixed in the matter,
too, at first, but that was dropped
some time ago.
Persons owning property on Ivy
street have offered to enter a contract
with the city to advance $4,000 to bear
the immediate cost of the work. The
county commission has agreed to do the
grading, The property owners do not
require that the $4,000 be repaid UNI
til the city sees At.
May Veto Georgia Avenue Plan,
Representatives from the south side
began to protest that Georgia avenue
should be improved first.
II is possible that Mayor VIM will
veto the Georgia avenue project. 1t

ours a moral obligation on the city for

case be made, and this was done. In
the meantime, Brown substituted wire
screens. and they are now doing regu-
lar duty.
When Brown was arraigned for trial
Yesterday afternoon in police court, In
spector Wasser explained the whole
situation to Recorder Pro TEN Pres
ton and said that Brown had removed
the plate glass within an hour and a
half after being notified
Brown Is Dismissed.
The inspector also explained that
after making the case he consulted City
Attorney Mayson and asked him for a
ruling on the screen law, as to it's
meaning. The city attorney held that
wire, cloth or anything that would keep
out i11es would be construed as a
screen, but said he hardly thought plate
glass doors would come under that
head
Judge Preston said Brown had done
all that any person could do by remov-
ing the plate glass and substituting
wire screens. and dismissed the case.
Asked by the inspector for his rul-
ing on the law, Judge Preston also held
that plate glass doesn't exactly fit the
meaning of the law, although he ad-
mitted that literally. plate glass is a
screen and a good one at that
Judge Preston said the law evident
ly contemplated a screen with ventila-
uon but close perusal of the ordi-
nance failed to reveal any reference
whatever to ventilation
Browns contention as to plate glass
doors is based mainly on the idea that
such doors measure up to all require
ments of the law-keeping out flies and
also other insects. He says wire screens
keep out flies, but let i'll other insects
that might be dangerous TO health.
"A wire screen" he argues, might
keep out a fly carrying a deadly germ
and at the same time admit mosquito
to bite customer and maybe kill him"
Under the official ruling however, the
wire screen will continue to flourish.

FINEST DENTAL WORK
AT LOWEST PRICES

There is no finer dental work done
anywhere than by the Atlanta Dental
Parlors, yet prices here are so low as
to astonish those who have been pay
ing the usual dentists charges.
This is due partly to an immense
volume of practice that makes posi-
bic a very small profit on each indi-
vidual case. partly to the very fine,
modern equipment and partly to the
fact that this establishment wishes to
make lasting friends of its patients.
Thousands of pleased patients are
walking, talking advertisements for the
Atlanta Dental Parlors. They would
not send their friends here If they had
been overcharged or had been given
inferior service
The entrance to this handsomest dem
tai establishment in the South is at
1872 Peachtree street.

Levers Olemargarine Bill
Committee Will Introduce Measure
Prepared by South CaroIinian.

Washington, Feb. 20.-The report of
the eleomargarine subcommittee, of
which Mr. Lever, Of South Carolina,
is chairman, has been made to the
committee on agriculture in the form
of bill recently introduced by Rep
resentative Lever, and to which he has
gwen considerable study.
For a month Or more the sub-com.
mittee has held constant sessions-at
the commencement of which Mr.. Lev
er's suggestion of open door meetings
was adopted. Both the butter people
and the eleomargarine manufacturers
have had occasion to offer suggestions,
and the Lever bill, as reported, has
been augmented by some of these sug-
gestions which the subcommittee has
seen fit to accept.
Mr.. Lever in submitting the report
of his subcommittee just what the
bill intended to do and occupied more
than an hour and half in going into
details. He is quite hopeful of un-
animous favorable report from the
committee on the 2ath instant, the
date set by the committee for final
consideration of the question.

Only a ~SpoOk."

For promptness, fearlessness, energy
and perseverance, Sim J. Miller, sheriff
of Lexington county, has but few, if
any, equals. The popular sheriff is
ever ready and willing to go where
duty calls, let it be in the early dawn
or in the wee sma' hours of night. On
Monday night a call came over the
'phone-a rush call-for the sheriff to
come to the residence of the Rev S. P.
Shumpert, eight miles south of the
court house, the party at the other end
Of the wire saying that somebody was
hiding in the loft of the house. Al
though the sheriff owns a race horse
one that can make it on any road at
2:4O gait-on this occasion he pre-
ferred to 60 in an automobile. Luther
Long, who holds the record for fast
driving in this neck Of the woods and
who owns a fine Flanders car, was
called from his midnight slumbers-in
the dead of night-to rush the sheriff
to the scene. It is needless to say
that a record was made--that goes
without saying-for Luther makes
new record every time he "lets his
Flanders out"
Upon arriving at the house the sher-
if was met by large party, includ-
ing men, women and children, all Of
whom were armed with weapons of
warfare and ready for the fray. The
women were much frightened. Only
a few moments before, in fact, when
the sound of the automobile was heard
coming through the woods, the
"person in The loft'' had made a ter
rible sound, like unto that of mad
man. Nobody, however, would dare
attempt to enter-they wanted the
sheriff to do that. With lighted
lantern in one hand and sS8 in the
other, the Sheriff made his way
through the "'Scuttle hole" expecting
every moment to cast his eyes on the
intruder. But alas! after thorough
search it was found that nobody had
been there, and the sheriff came down
fully realizing that he had only been
searching for 'spook." Tired and
disguised, the party returned to Lex
ington sadder, but wiser men.

Record Sprung On Blease.

News and Courier.
Columbia, February 25.-When tae
item relative to the heating plant at
the negro State College was reached
last night, when the Senate was con-
sidering the vetoes on the appropris-
ton bill, Senator Weston, arguing For
/ the passage Of the item over the veto,
stated that Governor Blease, a few
years ago while a trustee of the negro
, State College, in the report which the
board made in 1902, approved then the
installation of heating plant in Nor
rill Hall at the colored College.
"That report" said the Richland
Senator, els a complete refutation OF
the Governors message vetoing this
item.". Senator Weston character
lied the Governors present attitude
as that of candidate seeking reelec-
ton and as all appeal to the prejudice
and passion of the people.
The report referred to by Senator
Weston was made while John J. Nc
Mahan was Superintendent Of Educa-
ton, and contains this paragraph: GA
steam heating plant has been installed
in Morrill, Hall at a cost of $500.
which adds much to the safety OF the
building and tFe health and comfort
of the students.''
The report was signed by Governor
Messrs Cole L. Blease
and w. r. LoWman, trustees.
