TURKS READY To
SUE FOR PEACE
Empire Expected to Appeal to
Save AdrianopIe and Salon.
ika From Capture.

PARIS, oct. 3O.-Turkey is ready tc
sue for peace in the Balkans.
This report was circulated today in
high diplomatic circles and was given
wide credance.
Inc ottoman government desires to
retain what prestige it can, it was said
by having hostilities ended before the
cities of Adrianople and SaIonika fell
into the hands of the allies and before
the Balkan troops could move closer to
Constantnople.
Two great armies, one Bulgarian and
the other Turkish, are maneuvering for
stratgetic positions around Adrianople.
According to latest advices fighting
Is going on at number of points, but
decisive engagement has not yet been
precipitated
Reinforcements on Way.
An army of Servians is making
forced march to join Car Ferdinand's
army, which has Adrianople beleag-
uered, while the Turks are rushing all
the reinforcements possible from Con-
stantinople
Another Turkish army is cooped up
in the city.
Flying squadron of Bulgarlans are
harassing the Turkish outposts and
night fighting is continual.
This was the tenth day of the cam
paign around Adrianople and it found
the Turks with their backs to the wall,
virtually fighting in the last ditch to
uphold the crescent In Europe.
| While War Minister Nazim Pacha
sent optimistic reports to Constantine
ople. nevertheless he was confronted
with greater sufferings than any army
could infiict. Half the Turks are fight
ing on half rations owing to the scar
city Of provisions, and most of the
troops are distressed by the cold wealth
er and in no mood to face the Bulgarian
onslaughts.

A friend Of Governor Elect John NJ.
Slaton, referring to his fondness for
delivering educational addresses, calls
attention to the fact that Mr.. SIaton
comes by that naturally, his father be-
fore him having been so intimately con-
nected with the public schools Of At

That may account for it. And wheth-
er 1t does or not, certainly Major w.
F. Slaton is one Of the best beloved of
Atlanta's citizens today-and the love
that Atlanta feels for him is Of the
staunch and true variety engendered in
so many pupils for their teachers.
Major Slaton was superintendent Of
public schools in Atlanta for twenty
years-and his son, the governor elects
brother-is occupying the position now.
The governor elects right to talk on
educational lines seems, therefore, 10

Beware of the Car
Made for Trading

But do not accept merely for the sake
OF change in cars, an automobile that
you do not consider advisable at cash
price.
HUDSONS are not made to trade.
HUDSON automobiles second hand"
command higher price proportionate to
their original cost than those of any
other make in the medium price class.
They are not sold to the dealer at a
large discount thus permitting him to
make an extra allowance for old cars.
No more profit on the HUDSON is
allowed than that given on most auto
mobiles at similar price.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-10-31

The quality of the car is to be de
pended upon to make the sale, not the
Inducement of price. That is why 4,

STRONG WOOD FOR CARRIAGES
Hickory lie Most Important on Ae-
count of LIahtness Without Los
Ing Any of Its Strength.


The most important kind OF wood
which the carriage maker uses Is hick-
DRY. The lightness, without loss OF
strength, for which American made
vehicles are famous, Is largely due
to the use Of hickory. 1t has great
strength and elasticity. There is no
other wood that equals It in these re-
spects, and all kinds have been used.
For one thing, the light wheels used
on some kinds of pleasure vehicles
would have to be fitted with very thick
tires II hickory was not employed
Ash and elm have been tried in place
Of hickory, but these woods split too
easily to be successful substitutes.
Many millions Of feet of hickory are
used every year in the carriage and
wagon industry. It is feared that its
rate Of production may not keep pace
with the demands Of the trade, for
hickory springeth not up in the night.
Nevertheless, 1t does grow rapidly
enough to hold out some hope that
with careful supervision of the forests
the hickory tree may be made to yield
sufficient crop.

ODD ISLAND TRIBE
Queer Inhabitants of the Lane
OF Star.
Whole Population Number only 40
Yet Forms a Distinct Tribe With
Manners and Customs Pc
eullar to Itself

Friedrich Wilhelm Hafen. No
international exposition or large fair
IS supposed TO be complete now
adays without Us native village, where
two score or 80 of men, women and
children, preferably cannibals, from
some far distant land, and supposed
20 live more or less IN their ma
tive state for the edihcatlon of the
curious.
A visit 10 Star reminds one irresist.
ibly of such an exposition village; the
difference being that the inhabitants
instead OF displaying their charms TO
crowds OF civilized visitors, are en-
gagged in doing so to each other. It
is hard on visiting the island, to real
ize that the natives are specially got
up for ones particular benefit.
The island Of Star, which Is less
than a mile round, lies in an archipel-
ago on the coast Of German New
Guinea and close to the principal port
in the colony, Friedrich Wilhelm
Hafen. This town boasts Of a white
pbpuAnAlou Vi huOuA 20 anu NphNoAA'
only ten or a dozen houses half hid
den among the cocoanut trees.
The whole population of the island
of Star is about 14O, and these people
really constitute a tribe distinct from
the inhabitants Of the mainland or of
the other islands. The natives Of the
mainland, who are themselves suffi-
GENTLY curious people to excite the
wonder of anybody, are ready and anx-
ious to point out the islanders to Wis
itors and make money out off one by
rowing one over in a boat on the
monthly visit Of a steamer.
On approaching the island nothing is
seen but the dense vegetation which
covers it all over However, on pene-
trating a few yards inland two clear
ings are reached around which are
grouped 30 or so huts that form the
village. The word hut is really too
dlgnifed a one to describe their rude
dwellings,; strictly speaking, they live,
eat and sleep on a straw and wooden
platform raised four or FIVE feet from
the ground, and which is covered over
by a rudely-thatched grass roof. There
are no sides to the dwelling, the front
and back being generally quite open,

QUALITIES OF FUSED SILICA
Latest Material 70 De Used for Any
Original Standard Of Length
Light In Weight

Fused silica Is the latest material 10
be used for an original standard OF

unue accurate and invariable for a
long period under all conditions OF tho
air, and the metals tried-copper al.
Toys, platinum, iridlo platinum. nickel

Fused silica claims rare combination
OF good qualities. II IL light IN weight,

It's disadvantages such as easy break
age. lack ~ elasticity. and slight
solubility IN water-are not important.
The first meter - the kind, as describ-
ed 70 the London Royal society, is a
tube OF silica with horizontal slabs Of
the same material fused into the ends,
The slabs are accurately ground, with
plane and parallel sides. The under
sides are coated with platinum, and
the lines OF the standard are ruled
through this film with a diamond. The

this temperature for eight days, and

although the slanting roof extends so
far down as to form caves which come
below the level of the platform. Ac-
cess to the platform is furnished by
some logs placed SO as to form slop-
ing ladder and in addition to the main
one the Papuans have a custom Of pro-
viding a smaller one to be used by the
dogs.
What little work needs to be done
on the island seems to be done by
the women; the men are apparently
too deeply occupied in exhibiting
themselves to the other members Of
the community. Their costumes may
be said to consist of a loin cloth, which
is really the only article of actual
dress they have; however, to make
up for the lack of tailor-made gar
ments, the rest Of the body is fairly
covered with miscellaneous ornaments.
Every man has around his forehead a
large number of dogs teeth made
into a necklace; these teeth are look.
ed upon as being quite necessary, and
the desire not to be without them is
80 strong that few Of them are usu
ally sufficient to buy a wife. These
teeth form a good setting for his elab
