RECTOR RINGS
 CASH REGISTER IN CHURCH STORE
Congregation Opens First "No Profit" Business for
 Practitioners.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 22-With a rec tor at the cash register and parish toners behind the counter, the first no-prott church grocery in the United States is making record sales daily, in Atlanta.
 It is the grocery store of the Epis- copal Church of the Incarnation. The ting of the cash register punCtuates the chatter of thrifty shoppers, Ene sCurry of busy salesmen and sales women and the crackIe of wrapping paper, in odd contrast to the former quietude of the Parish House in which the store is established. And the pyramids Of canned goods make a novel disCord of their own with the semi-eccIesiasticaI architecture and decorations.
 The Church of the Incarnation went into the grocery business to assist in the downfall of the high cost of Hv- ing for Atlanta. And the stock that is now so constantly being replenish- ed comes from the subsistence stores of the United States government, re- leased for s1le at low cost to the public.
 When this plan of the SOvernn ent became known to the members of the
 
 ed straiEht1vay new plank to the platform of social service which is part of the Nationwide Campaign of the Episcopal Church. They would start a grocery store. They would sell the Government supplies in the Parish House
 Mayor Key, one of the city's ofi- ciaI food distributors was requested to appoint the church as an official station for the sale of the stores. Acquisitions for supplies were made at once. Young men and yOung women of the parish volunteered to work behind the counter and entered upon an eight-day training course in grocery selling.
 The supplies came, all canned goods at first, and were set up. The counter had been built with ''horses" end blanks. The cash register was installed. The nine young men and women had completed the grocery selling course ranged themselves be hind the counter. and the doors were opened at 2 o'clock in the after noon.
 The rush wa overwhelming Mo- tors were strung along the curb before the parish house. Women pressed their way into the building and up to the cOunter-women not only from The immediate neighborhood but from every part of the city. Some had made long journeys in street ears and afoot
 The "green' sales force were thank fuI. that day. that the sugar and flour and bacon had not cOme-that they did not have to cut bacon or weigh out sugar or four For they found that handling cans of beans and corn and peas and the like to meet the de- mand was a strenuous business enough.
 The first day the store was opened from o'clock until 6 and from : un- ii g. Then a morning period was added. from 9 until 12. And still the housewives came, and business was ! rushing"
 And the H. c of L. in Atlanta Is feeling me force of this church grO- Cery store.

RUBE MARQUARD WON FAME BY FEAT OF
 WINNING 19 STRAIGHT

Babe Ruth's capture Of the slug rec ord recalls the situation when Rube Marquard, the famous left-ha nder
 was running up his string of consec- utiYe victories back in 1912, when he was hurling for the Giants. When Rube won his eighteenth consecutive game he tied the feat accomplished by Charlie Radbourne in 1884. In 1889, however. the records showed that Tim Keefe as a member of the TGiants pitched nineteen games in sue cession without sustaining a defeat
 Keefe's record was made when the game was not played so scientifically as when the elongated southpaw was makin- baseball history and for that reason Marquard with his eighteen straight was credited with the modern record. The Rube, however, pitched and won another contest and brought his string up to the mark reached by Keefe and today Keefe is the holder of the old time record, while the mod ern feat is credited to Marquard, The Rube in his attempt to eliminate all question of doubt by winning twenty games in a row, failed in Chicago when he was defeated in a game in
 which Jimmy Lavender opposed him.

CHINESE MEN BID FOR
GIRLS CARRIED ON FLOATS

Four men carry a square platform
or fran. Near the center is a slender
bamboo pole about ten feet long. At
tached to the pole by hidden tether
is the swaying form Of young girl.
Each oat carries two girls. They are
gayly dressed. A rhythmic motion is
impaired to their bodies by the move
ment of the carriers. A rope attach
ed to the girls waist holds he fast to
the bamboo. The right hand clasps
the pole, giving illusion that the girl
is thus supported. In the left hand
she carries a fan and streamers of
bright colored silk. This hand moves
in unison with the beat sof the drum

suspended in the air for hours at a
time. They are carried about the
city streets after the ceremony of
the day is ended, the most admired
attraction in the whole display. Men
wanting wives make bids for them,

DAWSON MAY FIND ITSELF
ON THE DIXIE BEE" LINE

Frankfort, KY, May 27.-The Dix
lie Bee Line from the Ohio river down
through Webster, Hopkins and Chris
tian counties to the Tennessee line
will be diverted, probably from the
direct route between Madisonville
and Hopkinsville so as to include
Dawson Springs.
Road Commissioner Rodman Will
ey informed delegation from Lyon
and Caldwell counties today that he
would approve it as a Federal aid
project, if Hopkins county officers
agree to change its route.
The reason for the change is two
fold. The location of the federal hos
pital at Dawson Springs has made
it desirable to put that watering
place on the road map, and Lyon,
Caldwell, Livingston and McCracken
counties have raised the funds for the
Paducah-Dawson Springs highway,
which is to pass through Princeton,
Eddyville, Kuttawa, Smithland and
Paducah.
