WAR ALTERS BRITISH YOUTH
Flippancy of Modern Young Men
Rather Upsets Their Staid and
Dlgnified Elders.

London.-What has happened to our
conversational manners? The war has
altered them, but while some people
consider that it has improved them
others think it has sent them to the
dogs. The only point of agreement is
that they are different from what they
used to be.
For instance, the elderly managing
director Of a sedate city company wa*
a little surprised the other day when
Major Crasher, the stoCkbroker, lately
demobflized from the r. A. F., ended
a business talk over the telephone
with the phrase: "Righto, my dear
old bean !"
Was that familiar style of address
to be considered quite all right" and,
in fact, rather agreeable. or something
the reverse?
Then the young lady clerk who used
to be in the war office rings her mother
up from the city and exclaims: Hello,
old thing! l shall be going to the the
alter tonight, so don't wait up. Ta-ta,
old creature!''
The young man who was In the o.
T. G. slaps his father on the back and
says: 81 say, old china, why don't
you get a few new clothes? Trim
yourself up bitch? You'd do with
a new hat, too. Rotten old hat you've
got. Well, so long, old boy. Now, hop
off, old sport, or you'll miss that train"
Did our great-grandfathers address
our Observation-Disclosures in that
cheerful but familiar style after their
return from the battle of Waterloo?

INSTEEL CLASH

WASHINGTON, Sept. BY As
sociated Press President Wilson
has agreed to undertake to bring
about a conference between repre-
sentatives of the steel workers and
the United States Steel Corporation
in an effort to avert a threatened
strike. The president was asked IN
a telegram sent him today by Samuel
Gompers, head of the Americas Fed
Grafton of Labor, and committee
of steel men, to say whether con-
ference could be arranged before
next Tuesday when the presidents of
twenty-four international unions in
the steel industry meet here to take
such action as they may deem neces-
sary.

Gets Results

United States Senator William
J. Harris, Georgia's junior senator,
is the subject of special article
by John Temple Graves, the well
known Georgia author. in Hcarst's
Magazine this n1' rtk, along with
Senators Underwood, Fletcher and
Watson. The article says:
"One of the very newest of the
new crop of statesmen who have
come to Washington with the 66th
Senate is William J. Harris, of
Georgia.
"And Senator Harris is as new
in type and method as he is in the
modest and gentle face which looks
at the vice president from the outer
edge of the democratic benches.
He is one of the remarkable type
of new public servants in great leg
islative bodies whose service is
steady and tireless but never bla-
tant. 1t is probable that in twelve
years of senatorial service, Will
liam j. Harris will never essay
great senatorial argument, or ap-
peal to the galleries and the Con
gressional Record with an eloquent
Grafton. But it is safe to wager
that whenever his senatorial career
is done there will DE found to his
credit more things secured for
Georgia men and Georgia towns
and Georgia counties-for Georgia
rivers and Georgia harbors than
most senators win in twice that
time.
"The new senator was started by
Pres. Wilson in the beginning of
his administration as director of
the census. Here he attracted the
president to those qualities of
Judgment, fidelity and manage
ment which Wilson loves, and the
executive called him higher to the
Federal Trade commission, of
which he became chief.
Senator Harris is of a remark
able family whose members win in
public life unfailingly behind the
gentlest and most unobtrusive
manners. His brother, General
Peter Harris, who succeeded as
adjutant general of the United
States, is one of the softest man
nered soldiers who ever signed an
order, and yet you will search
long before you can find com
plant against his administration
in the records. His elder brother,
JIG, who is perhaps the ablest man
Of his race, has been content for
two decades to be an admirable
superintendent of public schools in
Georgia" fas

NEPHEW OF SLATON
WINS ELECTION FIGHT

ATLANTA, Sept. 5.-The NUM-
cipal election in Atlanta contained
something more than local interest in
the election of R. H. Jones, Jr., to
council. He is a nephew by mar
riage to former Governor John M.
Slaton and of former Superintendent
of Schools W. M. Slaton, of Atlanta.
A fight was made on Mr.. Jones be-
cause of the Slaton relationship, in
volving the popularity of his two
uncles. Mr.. Jones carried each vot-
ing precinct and becomes member
of council for the next two years, be-
ginning January 1, 1920. He is a
prominent young lawyer of Atlanta,
a graduate of Princeton college, and
native Georgian.

river Thursday afternoon, hats and
other property of the mother and
daughter were found on the bank
of the river at the foot of Central
avenue Friday morning.
Grief over the death of her hus-
band, who was killed by an automo-
bile eleven months ago, caused the
mother to take her baby girl and
leap into the river it is supposed.
They had just visited the grave of
the husband and father, who was
a well known salesman here, in Rose
Hill cemetery.
Mrs. Mathis disappeared Thursday
morning from the home of her
