he is the latest oil corner king. And
he lives right here in Atlanta. At least
he stays here now. Living during the
past week with Friend Andrew has been,
extrem ely irksome. 1t came about thusly.
More than year ago, Calhoun. then
in the automobile supply business CON
tracted with the Gulf Refining COMPANY
for years supply OF gasoline, some 30 900
gallons-the real chug-chus stufY-pure
refined. and in a class by itself as the
vodeyille bills say. During 1912 he sold
all but 5000 gallons of the stuff. His
contract purchase price was cents. n
spots. he got as high as Is cents for his
joy ride juice.
When 1912 sped down times track and
little old 1913 came up the stretch. Friend
Andrew believed his agreement still heId
with the Gulf concern. He kept right on
peddling gasoline, despite the fact that
his contract had expired December u
1912. on January ., he disposed of the
last or MS supply. Then came the sad
awakening
During January he had MANAGED 10
induce his friends 10 take over 5000 gal
Ions of his low-priced juggernaut am
munition. This last quantity he sold at
10 cents a gallon-just enough. he
yawned, TO make neat credit balance
and end his legal connection with the re,
timing company.
one day last week-it was very chilly
that day-while going through his man.
he was amazed and grieved to find there
bill from the Gulf company asking him
to remit for 1900 gallons of gasoline al
Is cents a gallon. He had sold the stuff
at the aforesaid . cents.
Madly searching through his papers he
found that his contract with the Gulf
company for speed fluid had expired In
December, 1912. not January, 1918.
Now Andrew must dig for tho differ

Whitening HANDS.

For softening and whitening the
hands there is a simple home remedy
that has the great merit of being far
quicker in its effects and less trouble
to use than cold cream. 1t Is just the
mixture Of cornmeal and kerosene.
Take handful of the meal, as one
would take soap. moisten this with
the kerosene as with water and rub
the hands as though they were being
washed. After this wash them in
warm water. The results, particularly
If one must do homework. by which

very satisfactory.
No odor Of kerosene Is left after
rinsing, and, strange as it may seem,
the effect is excellent on the tiny cuts
and bruises which come from house

THE PRISONERS CIPHER.
A Puzzlins Code That Was Discovered
.H Only by Accident.

A Puzzlins Code That Was Discovered
..H Only by Accident.
Prisoners in jails are generally very
ingenious, so much so, In fact, that 1t
has been frequently remarked that II
their skill and ingenuity were turned
to honest purposes they would thrive
much better than as criminals.
One branch Of ingenuity is displayed
in the plans they make to communi-
cate with one another. They construct
cipher codes, but the officials generally
manage to translate them.
Recently in western Jail the guards
encountered n cipher that proved too
hard for them, and it was a good while
before the puzzling messages were
made out. and then the key was acct
dentally discovered. A man in for
forgery, as smart rogue as ever was
behind the bars. invented the puzzle.
The writing was on long, narrow
strips of paper, on the edge Of which
were letters and parts of letters that
apparently had no connection and from
which no words could be formed.
One day n deputy who was passing
IilS NSii VI plISOllel 81" ullu
long strip of paper around an octagon
lead pencil. He took this paper away.
and on it were the mysterious scrawis
that had worried the keepers.
But the deputy got an idea from this,
and. going back to the Office, he wrap
ped the strip around an octagon shaped
lead pencil and after several trials adj
justed it so that the parts Of letters
fitted together and made n sentence.
though the writing was very fine.
The writer had adopted the simple
ingenious plan of covering the lead
pencil with the paper and had then
written along one of the fat sides. On
unrolling it the writing was as mys-
teal as cryptogram, but when put
around the pencil, as it was originally.
1t could be easily understood.-DallGs

HIGH SPEED OVER SLIGHT
DEPRESSION CAUSED WRECK

That high rate of speed, coupled
with certain slight depressions on al
ternate sides of the track, caused the
wreck of the Owl train on the Hous-

the opinion of the investigating board
that Immediately investigated the
matter.
The wreck. which caused the death

The following is this committee S
report to the company:
The wreck was not caused by de-
fective equipment. The track is lald

UNJUST TO GOVERNOR coLoUITT

All at it, and stay at it, until sa-
