BEAUTY CHATS
IS THERE SOMETHING IN
 YOUR EYE?

Unfortunately, this is only too com mon a complaint. And I wonder If you realize that the more simple a method you can use to dislodge it, the better it will be?
 The moment you feel something fly in your eye, close it tightly. Do not make the mistake of trying to wink it out'' as so many people do. Stop right where you are, and keep the eye closed. The first rush of tears will carry it away, ten to one

 Perhaps you can help the process by passing the tips of your fingers VERY lightly over the closed lid, working towards the outer corner of the eye. Sometimes this will help to drag the particle towards the rim and then out
 If resorted to promptly, this simple method of simply shutting the eye seldom fails.

If this is so, go to a mir TOT, and, using a tiny bit of soft Handkerchief moistened slightly, see if you cannot find the offending in IrOQer ana Idhe IL Oul- OuAeSS yOu are sure that the person knows his business, I would not advise your al- lowing anybody else to touch your eye. It is easy for you to feel when you are straining your lids by pulling at them and to stop in time. I all ways distrust the officious stranger or even the so1icitous friend who of fers to help.

SHOWS HOW RADIUM
 MAY PROPELL SHIPS

London, Dec. 12-The possibility of driving ships by radiun has been sug- gested by c. E. $. Phillips at the Can cer Hospital.
 He said radium in solution decom- poses water, giving off an explosive mixture of gas.
 Phillips produced this gas which, fused by an electric spark, exploded and drove small fan.
 The lecturer said there were O,000 tons of radium in the ocean and that the worlds coal supply will be eX- hausted 200 years hence. r,... xrrar,r Ads One r,or,4 a rue,-a

 What young man who has been for tunate enough to gain girls heart to the extent that he is looked upon as her sweetheart will not put his best foot forward before her He may be employed at 8 small salary, but he is never found wanting in nb- erality to her. If she has expressed a desire for the latest book, to see a new play, which is creating furore, or suggests a day'se outing, he will comply with her wishes. no matter how it strains his purse. The pay ments that he had intended to make to his tailor, bootmaker, aye, and his land1ady are put off. The money which should rightfully go to pay his the girl whom he is so anxious to please. The best of damsels may be thoughtless. And when they find sweethearts who are liberal to a fault, it does not occur to them to check their indulgence. Thus it happens that from one year to another he has not been able to save a dollar. Even marriage must be put off as a conse- quence. If instead of an expected raise his salary is cut down, he can see no gleam ahead lighting the path of matrimony.
 Such a state of affairs would seem to me to be a young mans fault. At the time his thoughts begin to grow serious toward her, he should have a frank talk with the young lady and explain to her carefully his financial conditions-that it breaks his heart to refuse to buy theater tickets three nights in the week and little dinners on their outing trips because of the drain upon his finances.

"The people had an idea that IA

charter. The very small vote proves
that"
Though politician generally are
greatly disappointed by the result OF
the election, the general opinion IS
that they will continue to stand firm
against any radical charter reforms.
Like Alderman Nutting. they do not
interpret the election as a reputation
of their stand against the sort Of
charter urged by Mayor Woodward
and his supporters.
Judge George Hil'ver, chairman O.
the campaign committee that sup
ported the charter gave out a unique
and interesting interview on the re-
suit. He said:
Judge HiIlyer's Comment.
"The proposed charter did not so
far enough, and l think the result is
due to the fact that the people are op-
posed to the commission form of gov
eminent. They ar aTainst making
the changes suggested, even thoush
an Improvement, for fear it might
open the way to another fight Tor
nlacing despotic power in the hands
of few. So they preferred to let tEa
present charter stand.
IF it had been proposed to in
crease the membership of the Council
so that about every 900 voters could
have their own Councilman, locally
elected by them, without dictatiOn
from the outside or by anyone bIt
themselves, and thus make the form
of government even r-Ore represen
tative and democratic than IL is, then
the result might have been different
But the city is tired of charter agi-
tation. The despotic commission form
of government will be defeated, in my
opinion, worse than it was two years
ago, if the misguided factions who
want it ever force the issue upon the
people again"

Death Blow to "Rina," SAYS MAYO

Charles T. Hopkins, one of the
leaders in the movement for genuine
charter reform. was inclined to think
that the defeat of the main amend
ments defeated the initiative and ref
erendum and the Recorders court
provisions irrespective of the vote
upon them. There seemed to be a
we!l-defined split in opinions upon the
meaning OF the elec-Ion.
However the ballot distinctly says:
You can vote on one or all of these
questions" This would certainly seem
to leave the impression that each was
an independent question.
The adoption of the initiative, ref
erendum and recall provisions is liza
Bile to play a significant part in future
politics of Atlanta. BY the signing of
petition by % per cent of the reg
istered voters citizens may call an
election on the recall of any Council
man, board member or head of a de
partment. If a majority of the voters
declare for his recall he is recalled
and his successor is elected by the
same method provided for the filling
of vacancies in any other instance.
All such vacancies will be filed either
by Council or the board in charge OF
the department affected.
People Can Call Election.
The initiative provision gives the
people the right to call an election to
pass any ordinance that may be de-
sired by getting up a petition signed
by 10 per cent Of the registered
voters.
If Council passes an unpopular act
of legislation the people can call an
election to determine whether it shall
be sustained or declared void by get
ting up a petition Of Is per cent Of
the registered voters. This is the
referendum.
Marks Entrance of Reform.
The action of the voters yesterday
in adopting these measures that have
become so popular in many of the
Western States marks the entrance of
this reform into Georgia government.
1t was expected that there would
be a light vote Wednesday, but the
fact that only 3,700 ballots were cast
was a surprise to leaders of both
factions. The election managers al
lowed only 1851 votes TO countf 10
tickets being improperly marked
After the noon hour charter advO-
Gates admitted privately that the doc
ument would be defeated. But they
would not admit the adverse vote was
due to the bitter fight made on it
by Woodward.
we educated the people so well
against a new charter during the last
two commission government agita-
tions that they are afraid of any new
charter said Alderman James r.
Nutting. They would have voted
against commission government
Wednesday just as readily as they did
against the new charter.
No Credit Given Attacks.
Mayor Woodward's charges that
this new charter was the instrument
of a ring has had little to do with
the voting. l don't believe the intel
Hgent people of Atlanta take that
charge seriously.

the election Of Wednesday, it is that
