URGE
NUMBERING
REFORM
Postmaster Jones One of Those
Who Will Condemn Present
lnconvenient System.

Hearty Endorsement Of the campo gn
to secure systematic street num-
berlng plan for Atlanta was given
by organized labor at the meeting &c
the Atlanta Federation of Trades
Wednesday night.
A large percentage of the members
of this organization are home owners,
and how important the need of this
improvement is to that class of citi-
zens is shown by the resolutions
adopted at the meeting, which follow:
Be it resolved, That the Atlanta
Federation of Trades approve the
campaign of The Atlanta Geor-
gian and Sunday American for
the REMEMBERING of houses in At
lanta.
Urge Immediate Action.
Be it further resolved, That the
legislative committee present
these resolution to The Georgian
and that it call upon the proper
committee OF the City Council and
urge that action be taken at once.
and that the committee take UP
with the various unions in this or
ganiZation the matter of having
all members fill out the coupons
now appearing in The Georgian
by which they agree to pay the
small cost of their own numbers
under the new plan to be deter
mined by Council.
The action of the unions gives great
Impetus to the movement which the
people Of Atlanta have taken up and
which promises to produce immediate
results.
The campaign will reach climax
following the meeting of Council Mon
day, when Councilman Claude c. Ma
sons ordinance ordering the city con-
struction department to put into ef-
feet new numbering system is con-
sidered by the Streets Committee.
Public Hearing Planned.
The Streets Committee will hold a
public hearing Postmaster Jones will!
reveal the handicap of the poor mum
boring system to the mail service, the
legislation committee of the Federa-
ton of Trades will make its plea and
a number of private citizens also are
expected to appear to add to the APP
neal that this belated improvement be
given at once.
The Georgian will present the cou-
pons from citizens that have been
mailed in. The more coupons received
the better the showing, of course.
Have you mailed in your coupon?

ROB BED
Explosion Wrecking Money Box
Awakens Persons Nearby,
but Thieves Escape.

Some clever craftsmen took adj
vantage of the brief space of time
occupied in changing police watches
about he middle of Wednesday night,
blew the safe in the Park Pharmacy.
at the corner Of South Boulevard and
Woodward avenue, and obtained $25.
The depreciation was discovered a
few minutes later by Policemen
Jameson and Vaughn. who had Just
gone on duty. They found a rear
window with the screen pried off,
after which the window had been
skillfully "jimmied."
Inside, the evidences of the work
indicated old hands at the trade.
Door Blown Of Clearly.
The safe, after being loaded, had
been muffled as much as possible
with old coats belonging to en-
ployees The door had been blown
off so thoroughly that part of 1t went
up to the ceiling, where it made a
large dent, afterward falling on the
prescription counter and smashing
the marble slab used for compromising
drugs
An odd feature OF the explosion was
the driving of an umbrella rib like
an arrow through the wooden door of
a show case. and deep into the wall
behind.
Il never would have believed it if
hadn't seen that umbrella rib and
tried to pull 1t out" said Captain
Poole. 1.-THE umbrella had been
standing by the safe, and this rib was
torn out by the explosion and driven
through at least an inch of hard
wood"
1t not only was good Job. but It
had been done in a very short time
The cracksmen must have been ia
miliar with the time at which the
police shifts we're changed. and wait
ed until the time approached for the
relief shift to come on duty.
Sleepers Awakened.
The time also can be fixed by sew
eral neighbors who were awakened
about midnight by a dull, muffled
explosion. 1t was indistinct, how
ever, and all Of them went back to
sleep without investigating the mat
ter.
IT was awakened by what thought
must have been door slamming
said one man. II got up and looked
around the house, but found nothing
1t was just about midnight. The
noise didn't sound as If ii came from
outside, but | guess It must have"
The pharmacy was about 100 feet
distant.

Latest Dance Is Featured by the
Fact That Partners Do Not

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Upon me

than Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish
The tango is dead! Long live
the tango!"
The new tango is to be the limo
Walton Waltz" And while tango
take it from the Latin-means u
touch,' the successor of the tango is
distinguished by the fact that the
dancers DO NOT TOUCH.
Mr.. and Mrs. Vernon Castle are its
inventors. They invented it at Mrs
Fish's request. Mrs. Fish thus pro-
nounced the death sentence upon the
tango:
'"400" to Tango No More.
Z won't have any tangoing done in
my house, When everybody's doing a
thing in cabarets and dance halls, ii
Is time to stop it."
The 400" will tango no more. Sc
the tango is dead! 1t died as Vogues
die-of it's own excuses.
Last week at Mrs. F'ish's ball the
Innovation was crowned as the next
aance favorite. Mr.. and Mrs. Castle
took the center of the. floor They
stood a foot, at least, apart, facing
each other, and began a slow, stately
movement, half glide, half waltz.
They never touched each other!
cried Mrs. Grundy.
