T. A. Theuer, manager of the Royal
bakery on South Commercial street
states that he regrets to hear that his
loyalty to America and his citizenship
has been questioned Mr.. Theuer has
been citizen of the United States for
% years. He left Germany in 1897 com
ing to Canada where he lived three
years. In 1890 he went to Chicago and
five years later took out his citizen
ship papers. He has no relatives living
in Germany. After he had been in this
country few years, Mr., Theuer was so
well satisfied with the new world that
he secured from the German government
a release of citizenship. This was in
1888 and released him from all minitary
service to Germany. Mr. Theuer after
havinO been citizen % years, is sur
prised that any one in any way should
question his loyalty to America.

BURGLAR ALARM USES PHONE
INGENIOUS Device Automatically Sum-
mons Help When Bank Cashiers
Are Attacked.

Hereafter armed robbers that en-
ter a bank and "cover" the cashiers
with revolvers, preparatory to gath
ering up the money, may find that
they are not as secure from attack as
the submissive men in front OF them
would indicate, for the bank may be
protected with recently devised Sc
cret signal system that automatically
telephones for help in such an emer-
gency. This protective system is de-
scribed in Popular Mechanics.
To operate the alarms one has only
to press a hidden electric button with
his foot OF knee. All the apparatus,
save the button, is located in another
room, or in a cabinet, out of hearing
of the bandits. Pressing the button
causes a lifting device to raise the re-
ceiver hook of telephone, by means
of a cord, thus making connection
with central. simultaneously a
small-size monograph, situated in
front of the telephone transmitter,
begins to operate, repeating again
and again some such message as
this: "Help! Robbers! Send po-
lice to Third National bankp The
telephone girl, on hearing this ap-
peal, will Immediately notify the po-
lice. An obvious advantage of this
system is that the robbers are wholly
unaware that any alarm has been
turned in and so their capture is
much more probable.

Product of the Bee Utilized.

OF course the great use for honey in
old English days was to make mead
and metheglin. Pliny said mead had
all the bad qualities of wine and none
Of the good ones. Mead was made both
in the north and south Of Europe, but
in the south the grape was more popu-
lar, while in the north the product Of
the bee reigned supreme. Mead was
the Saxon drink; but the Normans
brought the grape wine from France
with them, and 1t became potent
rival.

WANT AUTO OWNERS
TO FORM LOCAL CLUB
FIELD SECRETARY souTHWlCk
OF GEORGIA AUTOMOBILE AS
ISOLATION HERE TO CONFER
WITH CITIZENS.

Eugene Southwick, Geld secretary OF
the Georgia State Automobile asso-
citation arrived in the city today for
the purpose of cooperating with the
automobiles and good roads men
with a view Of forming an automobile
club in the city and counsy. Inc
great success of the automobile show
at Atlanta has created throughout the
state a desire for closer relatioNkpf
automobile owners both for social and
commercial purposes. sa
The matter of good roads, we'll d.
rected information or posting of the
roads and suitable accommodations
remain the sore troubles of the auto
mobile men. Already seven counties
in the state have organized for mutual
advantage including the cities of Way
cross with 105 members) Athens,
Newman, LAGRANGE, Cedartown, while
Valdosta and several other south Geor-
gia cities have expressed desire to
form clubs at the earliest convenient
time,
Objects to be obtained by the state
organization, Of which each local club
is invited to become a member and
share in benefits are first to support
the state highway department where
by the responsibility for the expen-
litures of all moneys appropriated for
the roads shall be placed in the hands
Of a competent engineer and stair.
Second to have legislation passed
whereby the state at large may assist
the local community in the upkeep
CT the highways instead of placing
the entire cost upon the same town
ship or county. Third, greater federal
al, for the construction and main
tenance of the main highways. Fourth,
state supervision and enforcement OF
general traffic laws. Fifth, legisla-
ton for the prevention of reckless
driving and protection of all users OF
highways. Sixth, posting of a uni
form system of road signs along all
principal highways and distinctiyely
marking all bad crossings, dangerous
curves where accidents are liable to
occur The final object is to secure
paved market highway traversing
the state from north to south over
which the commerce of the state. may
pass at all times and also affdfding
the tourists of the north desirable
and inviting passage to the state or
Georgia at all times.
Mr.. Southwick who has been chosen
to represent the state organization
was formerly field secretary OF the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce and
therefore familiar with existing eco
nonic conditions throughout the state
He will be at the Commercial Hotel
for few days to discuss matters with
automobile men and all others inter
ested in better highway conditions.
