RECALLERS HELD MEETING
SUNDAY ATLANTA CHURCH.
Preachers Uphold Their Right to
Work in Behalf of the Move
ment for Recall.

Atlanta, Dec. 27.-Betwecn 500 and
600 people, including several ladies',
gathered at the Baptist Tabernacle to
hear talks on the recall election.
The three speakers were DR.. Dun
bar Ogden, pastor of the Central Pres
byterian church; DR.. c. o. Jones, pas
tor of the Trinity Methodist church,
and DR.. Charles w. Daniel, pastor Of
the First Baptist church. DR.. Daniel
presided and made short talk before
disnissing the meeting.
All the speakers made a plea for
the voters to register and then turn
out and vote for the recall of the
mayor and the other five police COM
missioners who denoted eX-Chief of
Police Beavers. Rev. w. o. Foster,
pastor of the West End Christian
church, read the Bible and offered a
prayer for the people to vote right.
Meeting Greatly Enjoyed.
During the speaking many humor-
Gus stories were told that caused loud
cheering and laughter.
The right of a preacher to take part
in a political contest when a moral
question was claimed to be the issue
was upheld, the trial of Beavers was
pointed out as a reflection on good
Christian citizenship and the close of
the red light district introduced to
show that the issue was a moral one.
The meeting was opened by DIR.
Foster, who read chapter from
Isaiah, and offered prayer. In his
invocation he thanked God for the
"recent civic awakening and for MAX
ing men to come to the front with a
sword of righteousness to fight for the
recall movement" He also prayed
for the good people of Atlanta to reg
ister and go to the polls and vote, ex-
claiming, "For men are toiling for
evil and turning voters away from the
right thing to do"
Introducing the speakers DR.. DAN
iel said that the issue before Atlanta
was moral one and the preachers of
the city were unanimously on one
side.

CREAM OF HIGHEST QUALITY
Can Be Produced With but Little La bor or Expense-PrincipIe ln-
 voIved Are Simple.

One of the most common causes of poor quality butter is the lack of inn mediate. thorough cooling of the cream after separation. The dairy di- vision of the United States depart ment of agriculture has made care full investigation of conditions on large number of dairy farms. and the data obtained show that, if properly cooled, cream of the best grade can be produced with but little extra labor or expense. The principles involved are very simple and are easily under stood
 liberal use of ice which has been stored in winter to be used the follow ing summer is one of the requirements for the solution of the poor butter problem. Farmers who already are delivering good products to the cream cry usually have provided for them selves a convenient source of supply for the ice, suitable houses for storing the ice and ice water tanks for the immediate cooling of the milk and cream.
 In parts of New England, although the dairymen often hold cream on the farm four days in the summer and seven days in the winter they deliver practically all their product while sweet After it reaches the creamery it is pasteurized and shipped a dis tance of from 50 to 300 miles, and may still be sold in these remote localities in the form of sweet cream.

 1 There was no combating Miss Statis- tix. She overwhelmed all arguments by the very exaetness of her person ality.
 Elaine departed, speeches., prop erly squelched, followed by her chauf- feur
 Meanwhile, a closed car, such as had stood across from the laboratory, had drawn up not far from the Dodge house Near it was man in rather shabby clothes and visored cap on which were the words in dull gold lettering, Metropolitan Window Cleaning company" He carried a bucket and a small extension ladder.
 In the darkened recesses of the car was the Clutching Hand himself masked as usual He had his watch in his hand and was giving most min ute instructions to the window clean CT about something. As the latter turned to go a sharp observer would have noted that it was Dan the Dude, still further disguised
 A few moments later, Dan appeared at the servants entrance of the Dodge house and rang the bell. Jennings, who happened to be down there, came to the door
 Man to clean the windows sa- luted the bogus cleaner, touching his hat in a way quietly to call attention to the words on it and drawing from his pocket faked written order.
 All right" nodded Jennings, ex-

One of the maids was sweeping in the hall as Dan went toward the win dow, about to wash it.
 q wonder whether l locked those windows?" muttered Jennings, paus- ing in the hallway. T guess I'd bet ter make sure"
 He had taken only step toward the library again when Dan watchfully caught sight of him. 1t would never do to have Jennings snooping around there now Quick action was neces- sary. Dan knocked over a costly Sevres vase.
 "There-elumsy-se what you've done!" berated Jennings, starting to pick up the pieces.
 Dan had acted his part we'll and promptly. In the library C1utching Hand was busily engaged at that mo- ment beside the secret panel search ing for the spring that released 1t. He ran his finger along the woodwork, pausing here and there without sue ceeding.
 "Confound it!" he muttered, search ing feverishly.
 Kennedy, having made the arrange ments with the telephone company by which he had clear wire from the Dodge house to his laboratory, had re- joined me there and was putting on the finishing touches on his installa- tion of the yoeaphone.
 Every now and then he would switch it on, and we would listen in it as he demonstrated the wonderful little instrument to me. We had

to produce liberal yield of milk daily as it is for a horse to work at hard labor all day. When this is fully understood the necessity for a few weeks rest on the part of the COW becomes evident.
 Furthermore, the COW during seven or eight months of the milking pe- riod is carrying and developing a calf, which is a further drain on her sys- tenn. If she is given a few weeks to repair her worn-out body tissues and to store up little excess fat she will give more in the entire year, than she would milking continuously.
 If not given a rest before calving, she begins a new lactation period at lower level of production, and will maintain a lower level through the entire time. Six weeks is none too long for any COW and if she is badly run down ten or twelve weeks will be better

heard the window cleaner and Jen- nings, but thought nothing of it at the time
 Once. however, Craig paused, and saw him listening more intently than usual
 They've gone out" he muttered, but surely there is some one in the Dodge library"
 T listened, too The thing was so sensitive that even a whisper could be magnified, and I certainly did hear something.
 Kennedy frowned What was that scratching noise? Could it be Jen- nings? Perhaps it was Rusty.
 Just then we could distinguish a sound as though someone had moved about
 "No-that's not Jennings" cried Craig He went out"
 He looked at me a moment The same stealthy noise was repeated.
 Its the Clutching Hand" he ex- claimed excitedly.
 A moment later Dan hurried into the Dodge library.
 For heavens sake, Chief, hurry!" he whispered hoarsely. "The Falsers must have fallen down. The girl her self is comingr
 Dan himself had no time to waste. He retreated into the hallway just as Jennings was opening the door for Elaine
 Marie took her wraps and left her, while Elaine handed her numerous packages to Jennings.
 Dan watched every motion.
 Put them away, Jennings" she said softly
 Jennings had obeyed and gone up. stairs. Elaine moved toward the H. brary. Dan took quiet step or two behind her, in the same direction.
 In the library Clutching Hand was now frantically searching for the spring He heard Elaine coming and lodged behind the curtains again just as she entered.
 With a hasty look about, she saw no one. Then she went quickly to the panel found the spring and pressed it. So many queer things had hap, pened to her since she went out that she had begun to worry over the safe ty of the papers.
 The panel opened. They were there all right She opened the box and ] took them out, hesitating to break the seal before Kennedy arrived.
 Stealthy and tigerlike, the Clutch ing Hand crept up behind her As he did so, Dan gazed in through the DOT tieres from the hall.
 With a spring, Clutching Hant leaped at Elaine, snatching at the pa pers. Elaine elung to them tenacious ly, in spite of the surprise, and they struggled for them, Clutching Hand holding one hand over her mouth tc l prevent her screaming. Instantly Dan was there, aiding his chief

 Elaine's car had stopped finally at shop on Fifth avenue. She stepped out and entered, leaving her chauffeur 1 to wait
 As she did so, Dan and Billy sidled along the crowded sidewalk.
 Dan the Dude left Billy and Billy surreptitiously drew from under his | coat a half loaf Of bread With a glance about. he dropped it into the gutter close to the entrance to | Elaine's car. Then he withdrew lit tie distance.
 When Elaine came out and ap- preached her ear Billy. looking as cold and forlorn as could be, shot for ward Pretending to spy the dirty piece of bread in the gutter, he made a dive for it, just as Elaine was about to step into the ear.
 Elaine, surprised. drew back. Billy picked up the piece of bread and with all the actions of having discovered q treasure began to gnaw at it vora- ciously.
 Shocked at the disgusting sight, she tried to take the bread away from him.
 T know it's dirty. miss.s whimpered Billy, "but it's the first food I've seen for four days"
 Instantly Elaine was full of sym pathy. She had taken the food away. That would not suffice
 Whats your name. little boy?" she asked
 Billy" he replied, blubbering.
 Where do you live?"
 With me mother and father they're siek-nothing to eat"
 He was whimpering an address far over on the East side.
 Get into the car" Elaine directed
 "Gee-but this is swell" he cried, with no fake, this time.
 On they went. through the tenement canyons, dodging children and push carts. stopping first at grocer's. then at a butchers and a delicatessen. Finally the car stopped where Billy directed. Billy hobbled out, followed by Elaine and her chauffeur. his arms piled high with provisions. She was indeed a lovely Lady Bountiful as a crowd of kids quickly surrounded the car
 In the meantime Dago Mike and Kitty the Hawk had gone to a wretch ed flat. before which Billy stopped Kitty sat on the bed, putting dark circles under her eyes with black ened cork She was very thin and emaeiated, but it was dissipation that had done it. Dago Mike was core spondingly poorly dressed.
 He had paused beside the window to foOk out. SHe eOmln9i ne an nounced finally.
 Kitty hastily jumped into the rick ety bed, while Mike took up a crutch that was standing idly in a corner. She coughed resignedly and he limped about, forlorn. They had assumed their parts, which were almost to the burlesque of poverty, when the door was pushed open and Billy burst in, followed by Elaine and the chauf- feur
 "Oh. ma-oh, pa," he cried, running forward and kissing his pseudo par ents. as Elaine, overcome with sym pathy directed the chauffeur to lay the things on shaky table.
 Just then the door opened again. All were genuinely surprised this time,

 Not a Full Explanation.

The manifestation called heat is with humans and most other animals a sensation indescribable. From the time of Demoeritus and Epicurus, and far back of that. the mystery of the source of heat was hotly discussed. As time flew on and on the mystery was segregated into learned words, and Sir Humphry Davy explained it all by saying that heat was merely the vibration of corpuscIes of the body. He did not tell of the origin of the corpuscles or why they yibrated.

amining the order and finding it ap- parently all right.
 Dan followed him in. taking the lad der and bucket upstairs, where Aunt Josephine was still reading
 The man to clean the windows, ma'am," apologized Jennings.
 "Oh. very we'll" she nodded, taking up her book, to go Then, recalling the frequent injunctions of Kennedy, she paused long enough to speak quietly to Jennings,
 Stay here and watch him." she whispered as she went out.
 Jennings nodded. while Dan opened a window and set to work
 Elaine now decided to go home.
 From his closed car. the Clntching Hand gazed intently at the Dodge house. He could see Dan on the lad der. how washing the library window, his back toward him.
 Dan turned slowly and made the sign of the hand Turning to his chauffeur. the master criminal spoke a few hurried words in low tone and the driver hurried off.
 A few minutes later the driver might have been seen entering a near by drug store and going into the tele- phone booth. Without a moments hesitation he called upon the Dodge house, and Marie, Elaine's maid an swered.
 eIs Jennings there?9 he asked. Tell him a friend wants to speak to him.
 Wait minute" she answered. "rll get him.
 Marie went toward the library, leav- ing the telephone off the hook. Dan was washing the windows. half in side, half outside the house, while Jen- nings was trying to be very busy, all though it was apparent that he was watching Dan closely.
 "A friend of yours wants to speak to you over the telephone. Jennings, said Marie, as she came into the library.
 The butler responded slowly, with a covert glance at Dan.
 No sooner had they gone, however than Dan climbed all the way into the room, ran to the door and looked after them. Then he ran to the window Across and down the street, the Clutching Hand was gazing at the house. He had seen Dan disappear and suspected that the time had come
 Sure enough. there was the sign of the hand He hastily got out of the car and hurried up the street. All this time the chauffeur was keeping Jennings busy over the telephone with some trumped-up story.
 As the master criminal came in by the ladder through the open window Dan was on guard, listening down the hallway A signal from Dan, and Clutching Hand slid back of the DOT tieres. Jennings was returning.
 I've finished these windows" an nounced Dan as the butler reappeared Now, I'll clean the hall windows
 Jennings followed like a shadow.

 The ship news reporters have been Dan's stanch friends and admirers for many years. Whenever there was a protracted dearth of news some tale about the quaint old harborman was sure to appear in the papers. And in the very hour of his final departure from the Battery basin, where he had had his landing place for sixty years.
