AMERICAN RED CROSS NOTES

dium for the care of the sickly chill dren who cannot be sufficiently cared for through the dispensaries and visiting doctors. For the children of the city, all of whom cannot have the benefit of such institutions, a substitute has been devised-garden- ing centers near the edge of Paris where there is fresh air and sun- light in unstinted quantities.
 The first of these centers was started this. spring by French charitable organization known as the "Oeuvre de la Clauses du Maine" Ground for gardening plots was given by the military authorities just beyond the old gateway of Yer sailles. The clamor of more and more children for the opportunity of going here each day became so insistent that the socitty, taxed beyond it's re- sources, appealed to the Red Cross for aid. An appeal for the children of France is never unheeded and an ap- propriation was made not only to carry on the work on a larger scale but also to assure the building of a "baraquement' or little club house.
 The opening of the house on June 9th. was a grand fete'' for the youngsters who had watched it's rapid construction. There were songs to be chanted for the Red Cross visi- tors who attended tho function. There was 8 dainty basket, woven with much toll by childish hands and filled with the first vegetables from he soil of the Porte de VersaiI- les, to be presented to the represen- tatives of the Children's Bureau in taken of the youngsters appreciation of timely aid. And even more mor- velous, there were cherries to be eaten with the usual afternoon "gout- err of bread and chocolate. A great occasion indeed and one not soon to be forgotten!

Tn the shadow of the mbling Notifications of the Paris of ancient days, little garden plote for children have sprung up. A pretty club house, just completed, flies the flag of the American Red Cross.
 Porte de Versailles has become
 "The Door of the Children" The youngsters of the street whose
 mothers must labor daily in intuition
 factories or shops are gathered up
 each day and sent here to the out
 skirts of the city where they can run
 and shout and play to their hearts,
 content. They can dig and rake and
 hoe in the good brown earth until
 white cheeks are tan and healthy and
 snubby noses are smartly freckled
 At noon day there is a warm meal to saisfy growing appetites, and at four o'clock there is an additional "gouter' of bread and chocolate. With a pro- gram like that the most obstinate child must necessarily become healthy and hearty.
 France, seeing the flower of her nation crippled by the brutal war has realized to the utmost the nec- essity of conserving her youth. Every where the American Red Cross is organizing or fostering this work which is of prime importance to the ] future of the nation. Child wei fare exhibits, travelling from one end of the country to another, are teaching the people by graphic methods the proper hygenie ot babyhood and childhood. Dslpen-
 saries in villages and cities are ln- 1 fusing new life into lugglsh veins School canteens, where a large per centage of nourshing food Tor the children's lunch is being fufnlshed by the Red Cross, assure the little ones of a hot monday lunch

ENXsS THEATER.

"Salome," with Theda Bara, the latest William Fox spectacle, Is proving magnet for local amusement seekers for the remainder of the week, Wlth an excellent and Well-balalced Vaude- vile show of four acts.
 'Salome" can be summed up, ac- cordine to the review given it by Louis Serwin dramatic critic of the New York Globe: "The best thing about "Salome." apart from the magnlh- cence and studendous scale ot the spectacle, is that it proves that a linn can really be a huge popular success and still be about something. The illusion about the whole affair IS mar veIlous. The scale upon which the nicture is carried out really surpasses all expectations. It is breath-taklng- thrilling-magnifice
 This is what New York thinks of "Salome." Sa1ome was not a vampire. Theda Bara visualizes the daughter of Herodias as a baleful, pale-green hower-the most exotic of any char ter she has ever played. Salome throws flowers and smiles for her fa- vors-and that's all. What she wanted most in her life was oJhn the Baptist; and when she could not win him, she had that stern man slain. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned,' but Salome's swift death spared her the living hell she must have suffered had she survived very long the forbidden love she slew.

All summer long and as far into the fall as the weather will permit, wee boys and girls who otherwise, would be playing on the streets c,G the city will find wholesome rec reation here. Instead of absorbing worldly knowledge abnormal for youth, they will learn a few of the secrets of growing things that push their way through the soil and up to the sunlight. Of course there al- ways will be aeropIanes lowering overhead; there will be the threat of the long range gun with which the Boche hopes to mangIe women and children and terrOrize the nation. But as far as possible they will find there, and in other gardening centers which will be established later, the privilege of carefree days under Watchful care.

FEDERAL OFFICERS ARE
BUSY WARRING ON IL
QUOR AROUND ALBANY

ALBANY, Ca. April 22.-Uncle Sam
is a new entry in the enforcement OF
prohibition laws in this section, and
his officers are active in catching al
legged violators of various sorts. One
Of their first acts was to interrupt the
well-known booze traffic line from
Jacksonville, by way of the Seminole
Limited train. They boarded the
Seminole at Triton and when the
train stopped just outside the limits
Of Albany they claim they saw Lee
Brantley, a negro, unloading whis7
ky and Dave Price, a white man, re-
ceiving it to put in automobiles
driven by S. H. Johnson and F. D..
Golden, both white men. All of them
were arrested and the whiskey was
taken in charge. Six suitcases, we'll
filled, two packages, were included il
tie shipment. The men were released
under bond to answer the charge of
violating the Reed amendment in
shipping intoxicating liquors into the
state by an interstate carrier. Tech
nical charges were also preferred
against all members of the train crew,
but they were not arrested, being no
titled instead that they could appear
and make bond
The officers of Uncle Sam also broke
up two lively distilling industries in
Worth and Crisp counties. They ar
rested Atwell Bass, white man re-
siding in Crisp county, a few miles
from Warwick, on whose place they
found fifty gallon still. He was
placed under a 81 900 bond.
E. c. Pierce and S. NJ. Moye are
the two officers engaged in these ac-
tivities, and they represent the in
ternal revenue bureau of the treasury
department.

FAVORABLE PROSPECTS
FOR PEACH CROP IN

Peach growers of this section think
the trees are passing through the
stage now that is known as the May

Of the year, have the trees shielded
fruit as thay have this week through
out this section The growers think
it is just the thing to assure a sue
cessfuI crop, as the trees are so load
ed with fruit that some growers had
already begun picking the young fruit
that a reasonable amount should ma
ture

are able to care for themselves and

But since the heavy drop of this
week, following the cold spell, grow
ers are not rushing the picking busi-
ness.
Albert NJ. Seifert, of the Georgia
Fruit Exchange offices, Atlanta, was
IN Fort Valley last week driving
throughout the immediate peach sec
ton, and is buoyant over the situation
feeling assured of splendid season
He thinks the the fruit will be two
weeks earlier in ripening this year ant
is assured there will be sufficient labor
to move the crop.
Government statistics indicate tha
the Fort Valley crop will be 100 PEI
cent, and owing to the loss by COLI
in other peach sections the price viii
be satisfactory.

FINE MPRESs|ON
MADE BY HARRIS
HIS SPEECH AT WAYCROSS on
SATURDAY WAS WE'LL RECEIV.
ED-BELIEVED THAT HOWARD
HAS MADE MISTAKE.

ATLANTA, Ga, April 22.-In con-
nection with the entrance of Congress
man William Schley Howard of the
Fifth Atlanta) district into the sena-
torial contest, it is stated here on re-
liable authority that before he issued
his announcement from Washington,
Congressman Howard was told that
President Wilson hoped he would not
run.
AS is well known, President Wilson
entertains a very cordial friendship
for William ]. Harris, the chairman
O., the Federal Trade commission, who
has always been loyal supporter of
the nations chief executive, and
would like very much to see him elect
ed. 1t is understood that he felt that
Congressman Howard's entrance into
the race would complicate the senate
rial situation and tend to divide the
loyal forces Of the state For this .rea-
son, it is stated, the president eS-
pressed the hope that Congressman
Howard would not become a candi-
date
Although Congressman Howard is
very popular in the Fifth district,
which he has represented with con-
spicuous ability, there Is very out
spoken feeling even among his friends
that he made a mistake in announc-
ing himself a candidate for the sen
ate They look at it this way: Con,
gressman Howard represents the lars.
est. congressional district in the state;
lie is a member of the influential ap-
preparations committee of the house
he has established himself on good
terms with all the heads of depart
E1ents in Washington: he is in a posi-
ton to Increase his usefulness to his
district; hence he should consider this
duty first and should not undertake to
usurp honors which rightfully belong
to others, when he has plenty of his
own.
BY all odds the outstanding feature
of the senatorial situation today is the
strong impression made by William j.
Harris at Waycross, where he address,
eG one of the largest audiences ever
assembled in that city on Saturday,
and exposed Senator Hardwick's re-
cord with telling effect, showing him
up as 'the friend of the liquor inter-
ests, the corporations and the kaiser.

DE SOTO MERCHANT TO
QUIT SELLING FLOUR TO
HELP WIN The WAR

Mr.. Liston K Bagley, of DeSoto, one
of the hest-known merchants of the
county, while in the city today, an
nounced that he had quit handling
flour.
If the government wants the peo-
pie to stop eating it, then 1 think the
merchants ought to stop selling it, and
1 have decided to adopt that course,
said Mr.. Bagley. He added: Il am
trying to cooperate in every way pos
sible, and if giving up flour will help
to win the war then 1 believe that is
the path for me to follow
Mr. Bagley states that crop cOndi-
tons in his section are fine, and he ex-
poets a prosperous year.

REV. ]. B. LAWRENCE
MAY LEAVE AMERICUS
FOR BRUNSWICK, GA.

Considerable surprise was created
throughout Americus Sunday by the
announcement that Rev. James B.
Lawrence, rector of Calvary Episcoapl
church, has under consideration a call
to another and larger parish in the
Diocese of Georgia. The first state
ment to this effect was made at the
liz o'clock service in Calvary church,
when in placing certain proposals re-
garding the new edifice to be erected
by that congregation, Rev. Lawrence
referred to having received the call to
another parish.

most popular ministers in Americus,
has been rector of Calvary church dur
ing approximately dozen years, and
during that period of unselfish service
and devotion to community interests
has endeared himself to all with whom
he has come in contact. There is,
therefore, widespread and sincere
hope that he will decide to remain
here where his work has accomplish
ed so much good, rather than go into
a new field, thereby Withdrawing his
influence for good that is now so gen
erously appreciated in Americus. 1t
IS understood the call is from large
