SECRETARY BAKER COULDN'T
SEE WITHOUT GLASSES

distressed optician and several prom
inent Atlantians spent several very
busy and very anxious hours yester-
day in an effort to return to Secre-

the morning and Jared forth to have
repaired at the first optical store he
came to.
Leaving PRESIDENT Wilson'S pri-
vate car, OH which the nitrate plant
board are travelling, Secretary Baker
stopped at an opticians near the Ter
minal Station and left his glasses to
be- fixed. not telling the optcian he
was a cabinet officer, but telling him
he must have the glasses back in a
few hours
Arrived at the Chamber of Com
merce hall, where the hearing was
held in behalf of the Chattahoochee
river as the proper stream on which
to locate the nitrate plant, Secretary
Baker was very much handicapped by
the lack of his glasses, and number
of prominent Atlantians volunteered
their services to hurry the optician,
with the result that a whole flock of
automobiles were kept busy running
back and forth, and the glasses were
finally delivered to Secretary Baker
at the Bull Sluice dam on the Chat
tahoochee river 20 miles above At
lanta, which the board inspected in
the afternoon, following the hearing.
