SPAIN FACES
GRAVE CRISIS
Omitted Press Leased Wire.)

LONDON, June 6-Behind the
heavy veil of the Spanish censor
ship another drama may be oc-
curing. Vague reports OF an as
sumption of power over the whole
nation by the army have been re-
ceived here. No direct word has
come form Spain in four days.
When the censorship curtain
dropped last Tuesday, crisis was
seen between Premier Dato and
the army leaders, and one of the
last dispatches received direct
from Madrid quoted Dato in de-
NAL of the report taht the Balboa
garrison had revolted.
II was the demands of the army
leaders which precipitated the
crisis resulting in the fall Of the
Romanones cabinet, but 1t was
supposed these had been adjusted
when Premier Dato took hold.
Spain has been a hotbed Of Ger
man propaganda and all British
newspapers today attributed much
of SPANS internal dissentions to
the Prussian agents.

In 1908. Roosevelt, in a mes
sage to congress, condemned the
system of promotions in the army
merely by seniority, and extolled
Pershing as soldier, making him
brigadier general, over the
heads of 862 officers. Outraged
tradition stood on its hind legs
and howled, but Teddy stood firm
and the promotion held.

strategist in the army. having
studied tactics during his entire
career.
He is described as lean, muscu-
lar and athletic, fond of boots and
saddles, but very shy of swivel
chairs and desks.

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 16.-The auto
mobile tag department of the Office
Of the secretary Of state is beginning
to run into ancient trouble again in
the sale of 1917 automobile license
tags.
Many automobile owners are apply

The number of the motors of their ma

tifcation. This information, says the
secretary of state, is absolutely neces-
sary before a license will be issued.
Every owner of an automobile" he
said, should read the application
blank carefully and see that all infor-
nation asked upon this blank is sup
piled and properly recorded upon the
blank before he applies for his license
number. 1t will do no good to make
application without supplying this in
'ormation, and time and inconvenience

or the office staff, if this simple mat
ter is attended to before the applica-
ton is made for the tag"

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 16.-An
exhibition of the various products that
the average housewife can make out
of muscadine grapes has just been held
in Washington for the benefit of the
leaders in home demonstration work
in the Southern States. who have been
in conference here. This exhibition in
cluded samples of homemade grape jel-
lies, sirups, juices, conserVes, pre-
serves, catsups, canned grapes, and
other similar products. It's greatest
importance to the demonstration work.
ers who attended it lay in the evidence
it afforded of the many ways in which
the muscadine grape, so common in
the South, can be used to supplement
the daily fare in the household.
The muscadine grape grows abund-
antly all over the southern portion Of
the United States with the exception of
the mountainous and desert areas. 1t
is in fact so abundant that hitherto
much of the fruit has necessarily been
allowed to go to waste. The new
methods of utilizing the fruit in var
ious culinary forms will, it is hoped,
help to eliminate this waste, to a
great extent at least.
The home manufacture of muscadine
grape strip has alrerdy been describ-
ed in publication of the U. s. De-
partment Of Agriculture. Farmers
Bulletin 1853. In this publication 1t Is
stated that approximately 1 1-3 quarts
of good strip can be made on an aver
age from 1 bushel of muscadine grapes.
This strip is as satisfactory for table
use as many Of the other products
now purchased in the South. The nee
essary apparatus for extracting the
juice is inexpensive. Those familiar

LOWRY TO "CLEAN OUT"
FAMOUS FULTON "TOWER."

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 16.-Taking his
cue from the federal prison in At
lanta, which is said to be one Of the
;Ieanest places on record, rivaling
even a hospital in its absolutely sani-
tary condition, Fulton county's new
sheriff, James l. Lowry, has decreed
hat dirt must be banished from the
ounty Jail, which has become known
" the pseudonym of Fulton county
Tower"
The Jail is being scrubbed from bot
ON to top. including the cellar and
he garnet, and coat of whitewash is
,eing applied to all implanted sur
aces. The prisoners, moreover, have
cen ordered to put themselves in a
perfectly clean and hygienic condition

Muscqdine Grapes Furnish a
Series of Things For a Home

with three conditions believe that q
large market could readily be found
for good homemade prducts of this
character.
In addition to the grape strip, re-
cent experiments by the Department
of Agriculture have succeeded in de-
veloping other new and attractive pro-
ducts from the muscadine grapes.
Among these may be mentioned can
ned grapes. The Department expert
mentors have succeeded In softening
the hulls to such an extent that the
canned fruit is now admirably adapted
for use as pie filings, sauce and simil-
ar purposes. In the manufacture OF
grape juice some varieties have been
found which yield highly colored and
attractive product that promises to
compete in the South successfully
with grape juice made in other Sec
tons of the country from other types
of grapes. There is, however, still
some doubt as to the keeping qualities
of this juice. Grape catsup is a pop
ular homemade product and a musca-
dine grape catsup well suited for use
with cold meats has been made that Is
both economical and palatable. A
conserve with muscadine grape base
and containing nuts, raisins, and
oranges is considered especially valu-
able for the southern home as a sand
WITCH filling for school lunches. Per-
haps the most promising products are
the jellies of which a great variety
have been made. The Investigators
have found means of making these jel-
lies so that they are devoid of the crys-
tails that normally occur due to ex-
cess acid and so that they have suffic-
lent body and firmness to stand ship
ping.

ACTIVITIES OF GEORGIA
CLUB WOMEN.

Mrs. Nellie Peters Black, of Atlanta
president of the Federation of Wom-
ems Club of Georgia, is planning to
add Importance and scope to the raj
lies for 1917. Last year the rallies
were held in many Georgia towns and
rural districts and were attended by
nearly eight thousand people, men and
women. The rallies are a source of
bringing together the club women of
the large cities and the club women Of
the smaller towns in closer commun-
ion and have added greater value to
the work of women in Georgia. There
are II districts in Georgia, each one
headed by capable woman as presi-
dent of the women's clubs and an
nual meetings are held during the
year, when reports are made, pro
grams enjoyed and dinner served by
the entertaining club women.

CHURCHES SUSPEND

Practically all the churches which
have co-operated in the Gypsy Smith
meetings will suspend morning and
evening services tomorrow, and the
combined congregations will assemble
at the tabernacle at both the morn
ing and the evening hours, to hear
the evangelist. The regular Sunday
School hour session will be held, this
to be shortened probably by the
schools in New City and the western
part of the city, to enable the chill
dren to reach the tabernacle in plen-
ty of time before the service is
started.
In the past, since the Gypsy Smith
meetings have been carried on here
there had been no morning Sunday
service at the tabernacle, each of the
churches conducting worship at II a

will be changed for tomorrow morn
