COLUMBUS LIKELY TO
Lose HEADQUARTERS

COLUMBUS, Ca, April 12.-It is ex-
ceedingly likely that Columbus will
lose the headquarters of the Dixie
Overland Highway Association, to-
gether with its estimable and efficient
secretary Mr.. Leland ]. Henderson.
It is the policy of the association to
establish headquarters in the city in
which the president resides, and at
the next annual meeting which is to
be held in August in Shreveport, La,
new president is to be named and 1t
is quite certain that he will be chosen
from a city located near the center of
the ocean-to-ocean route. In that
event, the headquarters will be moved
to that city 1t is also policy of the
as ISOLATION to have the general secre-
tary reside in the city in which lives
the president.
Columbus has had the honor of be-
ing the headquarters of the organi-
ZdJLOh ever SluCC us DIl III. AhO III
NJ! esident of the association. Mr.. Frank
G. Lumpkin, is a Columbus citizen
He held the Office for a term of two
years, after which Mr. ]. s. Blocker,
another Columbus citizen, was elected,
aid has held the office for the past
two years. Local officials and men,
bers believe that it would be to the
best interest of the highway to have
the next president selected from a
middle or western state, therefore will
not ask the members to again con-
fer the honor on Columbus.
There will be no few Columbus citi-
zens to regret the departure of Mr.
ard Mrs. Henderson, who have been
81 CHI a valuable addition to the city's
citizenry, and will hope that the plans
of the organization will yet be alter
cd and the headquarters retained for
Columbus.
Mr. Henderson will leave next week
on a general inspection of the big
highway.

ATLANTA, Ga, April 12.-Captain
Richmond Pearson Hobson, the famous
hero of the Merrimac and probably
the greatest prohibition advocate in
the world, whose lecture on alcohol
entitled THE Great Destroyer" has
probably swayed the minds of more
men on purely scientific grounds to
fight the liquor traffic than any other
single argument, will address a great
rally in Atlanta next Sunday after
noon under the auspices of the Geor-
gia Anti-Saloon League, which is in
by the legislature Of the prohibition
amendment to the federal constitution.

clared that Americans can make but
one response to Germanyis challenge

it, the righteous and triumphant force
which shall make right the law of the
world and cast down every selfish do
minion into the dust.
To carry out this high resolve, de-
clares the Anti-Saloon League, AM
erica must be strong, yet the liquor
traffic-that arch destroyer and vast
er of human resources-fghts like
Fabius to maintain its privilege of
pocketing the vitals of this nation

It is unnecessary for you to suffer with
eczema, blotches, ringworm, rashes and
similar skin troubles. A little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 35c, or
S1O0 for extra large bottle, and promptly

most delicate skin. 1t is not greasy. is
easily applied and costs little. Get 1t
