the second act of the musical comedy

opened last night at the Empire for

is set in a manner to give the audience

before the opening of a big musical

everything in general. All are given
final instructions in their duties and

LANFORD
Needs More Detectives to Cope
With Situation, He Thinks.
Wants Women SIeuths.

Chief of Detectives Lanford, de-
claring a wave Of crime is sweeping
Atlanta. Tuesday announced his in
tention to appeal for six more detec-
tives that his department may better
cope with the situation. He said he
expected to take up the matter at
once with Chief Of Police Beavers.
Chief Lanford will ask for at least
two women detectives. Like Chief
Beavers. he believes women sleuths
would be able to do effective work in
trailing Of certain criminals.
The wave Of crime in Atlanta lit
orally has swamped the detective de-
partment, and we are sorely in need
Of extra men," said Chief Lanford.
The number of hold-ups, burglartes
thefts and other crimes is so great
that we are unable to properly handle
all cases. Six extra men would put
the department in much better shape.
We need them at once"
As to the proposed women detec-
tives, the Chief said:
Il think at leaststwo women detec-
tives would be valuable to the depart
ment. There are certain cases In
which the yimght do better work than
a man. OF course, we would have to
be careful and pick the right kind OF
women. ! intend 60 discuss this prop
osition thoroughly with Chief Beav-

Atlanta s Success

PrOgressiveness'

Robert S. Sharp, who until March
was chief postoffice inspector of the
United States, paid high compliment
to Atlanta before leaving for an East
ern tour Tuesday afternoon.
Every one who knows anything at
all knows Atlanta is always on the
job Mr. Sharp said. THE city Is
wide awake. and its civic organiza-
lions never overlook an opportunity to
advertise It and boost It as CONNER
cial center and home location. II is one
Of the best cities in the country, and
its success is due to the progressiveness
Of It's people"

and directed the work of the children.
Yancey usually came home at about
o'clock every evening. AS he trudged
up the long hill from the end of the
car line his wife and children left the
field and came to the house to pre-
pare the scant supper. BY s o'clock
in the evening the house was in dark
ness and the family asleep.
Only when little Lois was in the
hospital did any of them venture into
the city, Usually they walked the
entire way. They saw little of their
neighbors except an occasional con-
veTsation as one would pass the house
in the early morning, or after work in
the evening.
Where they have lived and strug-
gled for an existence together Mrs.
Yancey and her children want to con-
tinue to live. They declined to con-
slider returning to Gwinnett County,
where Yancey's relatives live.
Outlook Is Gloomy.
There is some hope of the little
farm being made successful, enough
so TO pay the monthly installments on
the home, and there is some posi-
bility of Mrs. Yancey's idea of a small
poultry farm becoming a reality, but
these are things that are almost out
of the question this year
The farm is an absolute failure this
season. 1t is impossible to start a
poultry farm without money, and I'M
less money can be secured the home
will have to be given up and the
family, more destitute than ever, re-
turn to worse conditions in Gwinnett
