trast to the blue silk panels on the
walls. This room has not been
changed since Sir Ronald left it; the
only addition, except for the plain
furniture, being one of Gilbert Stu
arts portraits of George Washing
ton which looks down on the consul
generals desk.
"Be careful not to make this place
look like palace or you'll cause
congressional investigation" said
Mr.. Skinner to an Associated Press
correspondent
The other rooms on the four floors
are spacious and we'll adapted for
the business of the consulate which
has grown so large since the war.
Besides having plenty of room for
the attaches there are several large
store rooms for the hundreds of vol
umes of claims of American citizens
arising out of the war, including the
large number of prize court cases
Then there is plenty of shelf room
for ready reference purposes.
In fact the new consulate has three
times the floor space of the old and
neat, commodious reception rooms
for the 600 odd visitors who call
there every day. Cavendish Square
is within stones throw of Oxford
Circus, the center of London's retail
shopping center, and the consulate's
new location will be especially ad-
vantageous for many American wom-
en- and children who call daily for
advice on the ever-changing regula-
tons governing their stay in war
time England.
There was no ceremony in connect
ion with the moving Of the consulate.
The nearest approach to anything OF
the sort was the washing of the Am
erican flag in honor of the occasion.

AMERICAN CONSUL
MOVES IN LONDON

London, Feb. 19.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press. 1.-The Stars
and Stripes now float over the home
of English aristocracy. They were
unfurled there the other day when
the American consulate-general took
possession of one of the most pre-
tentious homes in Cavandish Square,
the most famous Of English squares
in the heart of London's fashionable
West End. In making the move the
consulate deserted the city proper,
the heart of the financial district,
three miles distant, where it has
been for more than 100 years.
Robert P. Skinner, the consul gen
eral, decided the change was essen
tial to increase the efficiency of his
staff, to keep step with tie march
of business uptown as in New York,
and last but not least in the interest
of economy. The old consulate was
in a stuffy, ill-ventilated building in
New Broad street, where it was sur
rounded by taller structures. 1t was
not easily accessible to most people
who had business there and the an
nual rental was increasing each year.
The new home overcomes all these
objections. 1t is well ventilated, is
pleasantly situated overlooking a
small park, is more central for the
thousands who come there weekly
and costs less than the old.
Consul Skinner and his staff feel
proud of the historic associations of
the new home. A week before they
moved in 1t was vacated by Sir Ron
aid Ross, an eminent physician who
discovered the yellow fever germ and
whose researches into the origin of
tropical diseases won for him the
Noble Prize in 1902. Sir Ronald's
predecessor was Sir Francis Laking
who was noted surgeon and physic-
ian to King Edward. Other noted
medical men also occupied the hons
from time to time.
The house which is 40 years old is
a four STORY brick and stone struc-
ture of mpretentious exterior ap-
pearance. It's chief feature. is the
handsome drawing room on the sec.
ond floor which is now the office Of
Mr.. Skinner. 1t is a large room
about 40 by 25 feet square with 8
ceiling % feet in height. 1t is o.
Chippendale design and the carveC
white archways and white marble
mantlepieces are known as Hoppe
white decorations. The heavy OLE
mahogany doors form a pleasing con

St Ra-Diem is no exception to the
rule. Sir Edward is being featured
with Sheesley's carnT al IN the cir
Gus side show, and is internationally
known as the man with absolute con-
troll of his various emotions, and as
laughing is one of TIE emotions, the
same as fear, angel. sorrow, and
passion are all emotions, Sir Edward
agrees to marry the girl that can
make him smile OF he will forfeit
81 900 as heart balm, he says, and to
make it strong, all girls between the
ages of 16 to 60 are eligible and none
are barred.
So it was that the girls of Pensa-
cola resorted to practically every
thing, from telling funny tories to
actually kissing him These things

potatoes and all that goes with it,
and it was all nauden to him at the
same time. And Sir Edward smiled,
actually smiled. and continued to
smile. But this happened between 5
and o'clock while he was off duty.
Sir Edward was heard to remark that
if anything like that was attempted
during his business hours he was
willing to give up now. AS it is, Sir
Edward Is seriously thinking of
quitting the show and settling down
in Pensacola and start smiling.

IN FIVE MINUTES
NO SICK STOMACH,
INDIGESTION, GAS
"PAPE'S DIAPEPSIN" IS THE
QUICKEST AND SUREST STOM-
ACH RELIEF.

You don't know what upset your
stomach--which portion of the food
did the damage-do you? Well don't
bother. If your stomach is in a re-
volt; if sick classy and upset, and
what you just ate has fermented and
turned sour; head dizzy and aches;
belch gases and acids and eructate
undigested food; breath foul, tongue
coated-just take little Pape's Dia-
pepsin to neutralize acidity and in
five minutes you wonder what became
of the indigestion and distress.
Millions of men and women today
know that it is needless to have dys-
pepsia. A little Diapepsin occas
ionally keeps the stomach sweetened
and they eat their favorite foods
without fear.
If your stomach doesn't take care
of your liberal limit without rebel
lion; if your food is damage instead
of help, remember the quickest
sures most harmless antiacid is
pape's Diapepsin which costs only
fifty cents for a large case at drug
stores, It's truly wonderful-it stops
food sourings and sets things
straight, so gently and easily that il
is really astonishing. Your stomach
win digest your meals if you keeI
acids neutralized.-Adv.

WATERFRONT NOTES.

Merchant and naval ships divided
attention with inland visitors who
were on the waterfront yesterday,
and many persons were almost as
much interested in the schooners and
ships lying at anchor in the stream
taking cargo, and the interned steam
ers, as they were in the monitor and
submersibles moored over ON the west
side of Commandments wharf. There
was little activity in the bay, how
ever, in the way of work during the
day. In some cases cargo was not
ready for several vessels ready for
loading, while the bay was rather too
rough early yesterday to risk any
great amount of lumber alongside
vessels, hence this sort of work was
postponed until today.
Arrival of the Virgo.
Many persons who had been fol-
lowing the vessels movements were
delighted and surprised yesterday
when it became known that the bark
Virgo had reached port, all safe. This
is the vessel about which there had
been some considerable concern when,
following a reported sighting of the
Virgo a short distance off Pensacola
bar, the vessel failed to come into
port day after day.
Look For Two Steamers.
Two steamers are expected today.
One, the Bowdoin, is coming from
Tampa, while the other, the Dutch
steamer Meydrecht, is expected to ar
rive for bunker. Both vessels should
be here early this afternoon.

Planting Shade Trees
C. N. kEYSER, Department of Horti-
culture, Ga. State Col. OF Asri.

Very few cities and towns and their
suburbs are not in need Of more shade
trees, or the more systematic arrange
ment and care of them, The fall and
winter is the time for city and town
officials to make arrangements for this
enhancement of the towns value.
Plant trees that are best suited to
roadway conditions, that are long liv-
ed and will remain as landmarks in
the town, and where possible plant
each street and avenue to one specie
of tree. Some of the trees that can
be recommended for planting under
average Georgia conditions are White
Elm, Red Elm, Cork Elm, Ginkgo, Nor
way Maple, Red Maple, Water Oak,
Pin Oak, Live Oak, Tulip Poplar, and
Sycamore or Plane Tree.
