suicide SAID HE
WAS TO DRESS UP

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 12.-"I'll be
dressed up in the morning when I
come out" said Henry D. Shaw to
some friends when he retired last
night, and he meant that he would be
dressed in his burial garments, for
no sooner had he shot the bolt and
locked the door than he turned on the
gar and lay down to die.
But his prediction did not come
true, for clerk in the hotel where he
was stopping smelled the gas, and all
Mr., Shaw was dressed in was his night
shirt when the Grady ambulance ar
rived and whisked him away to an
emergency ward in the hospital where
his life was prolonged.
Shaw is a citizen of Lithonia. No
reason for his ATTEMPTED suicide is
known.

BOOKS IN NEED IN
THE WARNING COUNTRY

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Among the
thousands Of Belgian soldiers now in
hospitals in England and in France,
detained in camps in Holland and pris-
oneEs in Geormany, there is a wide
spread need of good books, and a com
mittee that has been formed to enlist
American aid in the matter announces
that books or money for their pur-
erase will be received by Pierre Mali,
Belgian consul general in New oYrk
The members of the honorary commit
tee include Emmanuel Havenith, the
Belgian minister at Washington JOS

Rev. j. F. Stillemans of the Belgian
Relief fund, and Louis de SadeIier.

in New York.
A statement given out by the com
rGittee reads:
The heroism of the Belgian soldiers
has won the universal admiration, de
tanned in camps in Holland, and pris-
oners in Germany.
Suffering and deprived of liberty,
without news from their relatives now
somewhere in poverty or dead, the
anxiety of those brave men must be
most painful.
We'll educated as they are, and
without recreations any intelligen,
person is looking for, nothing can do
more to alleviate their sufferings than
literature in their own language.
There is a real need among those
Belgian soldiers for books in Frenol
and Flemish, and to a certain extent
in English especially works of travel
and novels, history, books on electri-
city, mechanics, motoring, etc, and il
Illustrated magazines of all kinds; also
grammars for the study of English,

SOUTH AMERICA IS
ASKING FOR FACTS
ABOUT OUR CITIES

WASHINGTON, D, c., Nov. 12.-The
average American city, a one-time sub
ject of criticism by foreign observ-
ers, is coming into its own. The au,
thorities of two large South American
trade centers have asked for informa-
ton about the administrative methods
and finances of cities in this country.
The bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce, department of commerce,
has just completed for one of the in
curing municipalities, a study of tie
financing of Improvements in American
cities, the desired facts being quickly
gathered from the wealth of informa
ton at hand on the subject, Within
the department there are exhaustive
statistics of that class published by the
bureau of the census. Also reviews
issued by the municipalities are on
fl!e, and the bureau of foreign and do
restic commerce, through its editor
ial staff, was able to prepare a full
photography of publications dealing
with city taxation and financial man
agement.
The second South American request
was for official publications of the
principal cities in this country, on city
improvement, public works, construc-
ton laws and municipal organization
or reform The bureau is preparing to
nish the desired publications, and also
to make systematic efforts to bring
these communities into closer touch
with those of the United States. 1t is
expected that the projected work will
contribute toward stronger business re
lations.
One of the South American commune
ications involved other important ma
tiers which enable the bureau to bring
the large public works that are in

the attention of investors contrac-
tors, and suppliers of materials, in
this country. The war has prevented
certain capitalists in Europe who
have heretofore invested extensively
in such enterprises from extending
their interests, and the authorities Of
the foreign community have turned t.
this country for a portion of the
means of carrying out their projects.
as well as for models of management.
The Bureau is therefore able to fur
nish not only instructive facts to be
sent abroad, but also business oppor-
tunties at home

BAVARIA ISSUES A
BOOK FOR WAX TINES

MUNICH, Germany, Nov. 12.-An
idea of the economic status of Bavaria
il wartimes is gained from book
just issued by the Bavarian govern
ment in which the financial and indus
trial condition of the kingdom is con-
cretely summarized
The document shows that 100000
coo marks 1928, 1000 were subscrib-
cd to the first and second war loans,
and that savings bank deposits in
eerased by 100000 marks ($10,0O0,-
-0G0) despite the drains of all three
war loans. Since the kings original
appeal to the youth of the state to form
into semi-military bodies, 10000 boys
have responded and are taking mill
tary training.
A total of 1043 hectars of moor land
have been prepared for cultivation by
prisoners of war. The big breweries
supplied 81 per cent and the little
breweries 16 per cent of the beer used
by the army, and Bavarians supplied
40,000,000 marks ($10,000,000) worth
of army clothing ordered by the chief
supply station in Berlin.
