PARIS POLICE USE
DEADLY GAS BOMB
New Weapon of 0ffense and De-
fense Inspired by Spread of
Motor Bandits.

PARIS. April 20.-After the two
sieges sustained by the automobile
bandit Ponnot at Choisy-le-Roi and
Barnier and Valet at Nosent-on-
Marne it became evident that modern
revolvers and magazine rifles enabled
a reckless man to hold a small army
at bay and to pay for his own life
with that of several others.
Among the schemes to meet the
new conditions proposed by the Paris
police were the use of chrome steel
shields. under cover of which they
could advance, and a sort of revolver.

permanent injury.
These new weapons had their first
practical use not against a bandit et
bay, but against an unfortunate negro
who had gone mad and revolver IN
hand was prepared to stand a siege
barricaded in a room.
Though the new weapons are pro-
nounced a success. il Is thought that
they are not without danger TO those
who handle them.

The inexperienced district school
teacher had exhausted all other expe-
dients for the maintenance of discipline.
Going out into the school yard she
broke of a good sized switch that was
growing there and administered primi-
tive punishment to Jimmy Kelley.
There were strange expressions or
Mortified amazement on the faces of the
children, and when school was dis
missed at noon they gathered in excited
groups and talked in whispers FIn-
ally the teachers curiosity could stand

her she demanded the cause of the dis

When Winding Wool.

When winding wool for crocheting or
knitting. begin the ball by winding The
thread over the tag that comes with the
skein. This will save trouble in starting
the ball and also trouble when more
wool is needed. as the tag has the num-
ber and size of the thread on it. and
will be there when the end of the ball is
reached. and will serve as a guide for
the person who uses the last OF that
ball. Always save the tags OF silk en-
broidery. thread and cotton and linen
threads for crocheting for this same
purpose.

The New Handkerchief Are Here

The superb values, the rare novelties the GER
tain uniformity Of qualities that Atlantans are
accustomed to finding at Chamberlin-Johnson
DuBose Co. S year after year are due to our
methods of collecting Christmas handkerchiefs.
We go direct to Ireland, and thereby cut costs
to such an extent that are enabled to show
finer handkerchiefs at a given price than those
who have to pay the importer profit. This is
very matter-of-fact statement about these eX-
quisitely dainty bits of linen, about which the
advertising pen is prone to grow enthusiastic,
but it explains conditions and why these eX
quisitely dainty bits Of linen are not priced as
you might expect,
We leave the enthusiasm for you-when you
see them.

Seamy Side Of life, only one thing
stands between those kids and the
heartbreak on Christmas morning.
You know what that is. You are
part of it. And you know the answer.
You just send in your check, or
bring in your money. to the Christmas
Editor of The Georgian, at No. 90 East
Alabama street. You'll meet with
prompt attention. That sort of thing
is preferred business in The Georgian
offices these days.
And if you are dubious about
whether. to do it. or the amount, or
anything. just remember the little
shivering figure scampering across
the bare floor to a dead fireplace
and an empty stocking. after all the
prayers and dreams Of Christmas Eve.

when BACK ACHES

May Follow.

When the kidneys are clogged up
and inactive, nature always warns
you.
Backache is one of the first symp-
toms You may also be troubled with
disagreeable, annoying bladder or uri-
nary disorders; have attacks of lum-
bago or rheumatism; become nervous,
tired, or feel all worn out; puffy swell
ings show under the eyes, or in the
feet and ankles; or the urine be-
comes light and pale. dark-colored or
cloudy. If such symptoms are neg
lected, dropsy, diabetes or Bright's
disease, which so often prove fatal,
may result.
1t is not only dangerous but need
less for you to suffer and endure the
tortures of these troubles, when a lit
tie CroXone will quickly and surely
end all such misery,
There is no more effective remedy
known for the prompt relief and cure
of such troubles, because it cleans out
the Clogged-up kidneys and makes
them work properly. 1t soaks right
in through the walls and Innings;
cleans out the little filtering cells and
glands; neutralizes and dissolves the
poisonous uric acid and waste matter
and makes the kidneys filter and aft
the poison from the blood and drive
it out of the system.
This new, scientific preparation is
entirely different from other RENE
