MAYOR WILL VETO
VYST.REPA|RA ACT.
VIM Says Project Would Take
Too Much of the City's
Future Income.

Mayor VIM 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
rs the work at the junction of the two
Peachlrees is completed, Alderman
John E. McCIelland 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
10 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
$4,000 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 it's
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 un-
til the city sees fit
May Veto Georgia Avenue Plan.
Representatives from the south side
began TO protest that Georgia avenue
should be improved first.
1t Is possible that Mayor VIM will
veto the Georgia avenue project. It
takes money from other streets and in
ours a moral obligation on the city for
an additional appropriation next year.
The city has outlined boulevard from
West End to Grant park, which In
Guides Georgia avenue. The county
commissioners have agreed to help in
the work.
Both these big improvements still are
much unsettled.

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

WHAT'S a screen?
This question today is puzzling CITY
ofhclals. The puzzle grows out of the
city health law recurring 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 operating
MS Peachtree restaurant without the
customary wire screens. The city ordi-
nance STIMULATES 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
Brown says the dictionary describes
a screen as a shield" and that. there
lore, plate glass serves the purpose.
Dr. VanDyke's View Different.
Inc first to take issue with Browns
construction of the law was DR.. Arthur
II. VanDylle, chairman Of the sanitary
committee of the city council and
member of the board of health. DR.
NanDyke CONSTITUTES the law on screens
to mean wire screens pure and simple
and accordingly instructed Health In
speotor Wasser to make a case again at
Brown
And make a case against him every
day his place is without screens. too
He can't defy the law this way" added
DR.. VanDyke.
When Inspector Wasser informed
Brown he would have to make a ca 90
against him, the restaurant man agreed
to remove the plate glass and substi
tute wire screens rather than to face a
long night in the court to test the point.
As he was 50 persistent for time
however, DR.. VanDyke insisted that the

hair--fne and toWny at ffrst-yes--but
really new h2ir sprouting out all over
your scalp Danderine is, we believe,
the only sure hair grower; destroyer Of
dandruff and cure for itchy scalp, and
it never fails to stop falling hair al
once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten cloth
with a little Danderine and carefully
draw it through your hair-taking one
small strand at a time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in just
few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits every one who tries this.
sement y

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 Tenn 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 its
meaning. The city attorney held that
wire, cloth or anything that would keep
out flies would be construed as a
screen. but slid 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-
ton, 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 a 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 very small profit on each indi-
vidual case, partly to the very fine,
modern equipment and partly to the
tdct that this establishment wishes to
make lasting friends of it's 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 den
tai establishment in the South lie at
l9i2 Peachtree street.

DESCRIPTION OF CHEAP MINING PROCESS

II is a noteworthy fact not generally known that from the isolated santa Maria mines. situated about sixty miles southeast of here comes the graphite which provides the lead for so per cent Of the pencils used in the world This has been the unbroken record of the Santa Maria property for the last eighteen years One pen cil does not contain much graphite, to be sure, but when the millions that are in daily use in an parts of the world are considered. the aggregate quantity oI lead material for the 2 manufacture Is very large
 The Santa Maria graphite deposi-s are the largest upon the American continent so far as known. They ars owned hy a syndicate or Americans. headed by Eugene McSweeney of Sag inaw. Mich. The product of the mines is shipped 10 Saginaw for treat ment. where it is ground and separaI- ed by means of air fiotation and bolt ing
 in many respects the location and development of these great graphite mines .n Western Mexico have been attended with romantic and trag ? features. They are situated in the heart of the Yaqui Indian country. and during the long years Of tur5u- lency when the Mexican Government was endeavoring to bring these un- tanned sayages into subjection the lit tie mining camp was in constant dan ger Of being attacked by them Raids upon the outlying settlements were frequently made and mining prospect ors not infrequently met death at the hands of the Indians. Only half a mile from the headquarters house al the mines three men who were deyel- oping another graphite deposit were killed by the Yaquis. During tie more recent revolutionary disturb ances. however. the district has been comparatively free of depTedatory bands Of rebels, and miEing opera. tions have been going on without in. ! lterruption.
