The back of what Mr.. Won Herr

only cold snap of the winter appears
to be broken. Tine temperature of
81 degrees Monday morning, while
brisk and bracing, was not at all hard

milder weather at once.
Sunday was a brisk day, and Mr..
Won Hermann came within four de-
gres of nicking the low mark. He
said it would be as cold as Is. The
exact mark was 10, and it did very
ricely The absence of wind, how
ever, and the bright sunshine kept
down the illusion that winter was in
full sway, and there was a deal of
golf and motoring on the season
coolest day.
From row on through the week, the
weather man sees only a cheerful
vista of increasing mildness.

according to speakers at the annual

that men purchased cars who could
not afford them, often mortgaging
their homes to do so. and that the
cost of upkeep was too much.

Atlanta Churches Respond Gen.
erousIy to Appeal for Suffering.
Sermons Stir Donors.

Strong appeals spoken from the
pulpits of Atlanta's churches brought
substantial addition to The Geor-
gian's RELIEF fund for the Bulgarian
war sufferers. Not all of the church
es had reported Monday the amount
collected, so the total collections had
to be estimated, but the response by
the majority of the congregations was
sufficiently liberal to insure Atlanta a
place of prominence among the six
cities of the United States that united
in making a generous contribution
for the aid of the war-ridden dis
trict.
While collections were being taken
in Atlanta churches for The half
million refugees appeals were being
made In New York. Boston. Chicago,
Los Angeles and San Francisco. In
those cities there was likewise a
hearty, sympathetic response.
The collections will be forws rded
to the national headquarters of the
Red Cross Society in Washington and
from there will be forwarded to Queen
Eleanora of Bulgaria. who will direct
this distribution among her destitute
subjects.
Methodists First to Report.
Grace Methodist Church was the
first to report Monday. DR.. C. O..
Jones. the pastor, notified The Geor-
gian that $16.75 had been contributed
at his church.
This is a positive call on the SYM
pathies of the American people" said
Dr. Jones in making his appeal. Gen
eral Sherman was right in his ia
nous remark about war. The truth
of the saying was sadly verified by
the bitter experience of the Bulga-
rians and the refugees from the out

"HeIpfuIness" Is Subject.
Dr. Jones preached special ser
mon to the young people in the ev-
ening, taking "Helpfulness' as his
topic and citing Bulgaria as a most
worthy object of the benefactions of
the American people.
The Rev H. NJ. DuBose, Of the
First Methodist Church, reviewed the
Balkan situation from the beginning
of the wars, showing what Bulgarias
attitude had been from the outset
and how severely she had suffered in
the conflict.
Coming to the present time, DR. Du-
Bose said that if the Bulgarians had
only themselves to care for, their re-
sources might be adequate. but when
to their own sufferers there were
added tens of thousands of refugees
from Thrace and Albania it put a
tax on their slender finances that
overwhelmed them completely.

his brethren in Kentucky, that they

whereabouts of his mother. from whom
he was taken when an infant only two
