LLOYD.GEORGE TURNS OVER
OFFICIAL GARDEN FOR THE
HOUSING OF OVERFL0WS

LONDON, Feb. 1O.-One OF Prime
Minister Lloyd Georges latest official
acts is to turn over the garden OF his
official residence on Downing street to
the builders, to be covered with tenn
porary buildings for the housing OF
overflows from the neighboring gov

government the garden was chiefly
used as a playground for Mr.. Asquith's
young son, who conducted there a

GERMAN INVENTIVE GENIUS
MAKES DISCOVERY OF NEW
SOLDER CONTAINING NO TIN

BERLIN, Feb. 10.-German inven-
tive genius, under pressure of Mother
Necessity, has been applied success
fully to the discovery of a solder with
practically no tin. a metal not found In
Germany.
Resort was first had to cadmium, a
metal of the zinc group found in
Large quantities in Germany, and an
excellent solder was produced from 80
per cent lead, 10 per cent cadmium
ard only 10 per cent of the precious
tin. This, however, could hot be used
for making and sealing cans for pre-
serving foodstuffs as lead when
brought into contact with fruit or
other acids produces poisonous salts.
Chemists then remembered bismuth,
another metal found in large quanti-
tiles within the empire and from cad
MUM, bismuth and some other Ger
man metals a solder was produced
which is non-poisonous and almost
free from tin. Since fourth of the
2f,00o tens OF TIN which Germany in
ports and consumes annually in peace
time is used in making solder the in
yention will go far toward solving
Germany's wartime tin problem, which
recently led the government to decree
a general confiscation of the tin tops

Every Sunday school worker in
Americas is striving to set new rec
ord for Sunday school attendance in
Americas for today, which is Georgia
Go-to-Sunday-School Day.
Sunday school teachers, Sunday
school officers, Sunday school pupils
ard the pastors of the various church
es have joined in the effort to make to-
dy a record-breaking day in the his
tory of Americas Sunday schools. Ev-
cry class in the city is striving to get
cut larger proportionate attendance
than an yother class, and each Sunday
school in the city IS working for a
better attendance than ever before. All
the Sunday schools in the state are
working for large attendance.
A personal canvass of the city has
been in progress all this week. The
officers of the Sunday schools and
the pastors of the churches have been
calling upon the people soliciting their
attendance at Sunday school tomorrow.
Third Annual Observance
The observance Of Go-to-Sunday-
School Day in Georgia tomorrow will
be the third annual observance of this
event in the state and it is hoped to
have an average increased attendance
over last year of so per cent. 1t is an
INSTRUMENTATION movement, the OBJ
ject of which is to create interest and
enthusiasm in and popularize Bible
study. The day is intended to be OBJ
served by every Sunday school in the
state.
The first o-Sunday-School Day
was observed in Georgia on February
IA, 1915, and it proved so popular and
was such a great success that the state
executive committee voted to make it
an annual event. The Sunday nearest
February 70, which is Georgia's birth
day, was selected as the Sunday for
the annual observance.
The Georgia Sunday School Associa-
ton has arranged program Off the
day and thousands of copies of this
porgram have been distributed over
the state. Copies have been mailed to
every Sunday school superintendent in
Georgia, the idea being to use this
program for the assembly exercises on
Go-to Sunday-School Day.
Many people go to Sunday school
every Sunday, others go once in a
while, and still others go not at all. No
matter to which class you belong. go
to Sunday school today.
There are said to be 1S,441, 0S6 people
enrolled in Sunday schools in America
Today will be the best chance you will
get to make it one more.

They Spared the Nonoombatant.

Griffith who was private secretary to
he late Lord Strathcona. He became
exhausted says W. G. Shepard IN Ev.
erybodys Magazine, and he fell behind
In full view Of the German snipers.
They saw large gentleman, dressed
in golf costume, take Off his GOLF cap,
wipe the persprutlon from his fore
head lean like an exhausted man
against the pile Of sandbags that
formed the entrance to the trench, and
settle himself conteRtedly for rest.
Mr.. Grinith's unriddled body Is testi-
mony to the fact that the Germans
played cricket" as the English call 1t,
that day. Scores of them had chance
to kill the man in the golf costume, but
some Teutonlc phrase ran along the
line that gave him his life.

OF 4,7l6,76S young men for war ser.
vice.
For the territory reporting, the CEN
sus estimate was 5.372,596 eligibles.
On the basis of the returns, it was
calculated that the grand total of reg.
instraton probably would be close to
100000, in place Of 1o.264000, as
forecast by the census experts.
The reports showed white registra-
tions totalling S,5O1456, colored 654,.

45,OlS. Possible exemptions indicated
totalled 25OS.G24.
Officials pointed out that the census
figures were intended only as approx.
mates, and that the discrepancy
should not be taken as indicating eva
sion OF the draft, It also was pointed
out that between 100000 and 100000
men included In the estimate already
are members Of the armed forces of
the nation, and therefore did not reg.
