ARMENIAN Relief DRIVE HERE STARTS SPIRITEDLY
F0CH TO NAME TERMS FOR EXTENDING ARk1|STICE
Negro Used to
Convict Frank
Shot as Thief

ATLANTA, Jan. IL lnAgainO Out
Again" Finnegar, the famous Atlanta
police court character, whose invet-
crate habit of getting himself arrested
was subject of newspaper notoriety
for many months, is about to be
eclisped by James Conley, the negro
whose testimony was the capstone OF
the prosecutions case against Leo N.
Frank for.the murder of Mary Phagan.
For his admitted connection with
that celebrated crime, as an accessory
after the fact in assisting Frank to
dispose of the dead girls body, Conley
served chaingang sentence of twelve
months, and since his release from
convicts stripes he has been continu-
ously in the tolls of the law, his latest
exploit being in the role Of a burglar
early yesterday morning.
This latest experience would seem
to be calculated to teach Jim the les
son that honest dollars may be harder
to earn, but are vastly more desirable
in the long run than stolen money.
for hardly had Jim put his hand
through the door Of a corner drug
store and soda fountain than the pro-
proctor raised up and let loose upon
him with a double-barreled shotgun.
He had been sleeping in the store to
catch burglar, and Jim walked
right into his trap. He is now at the
city hospital undergoing the long and
painful operation of having shot pick
ed out of his ginger-cake hide.
Jim has adorned the police docket
on many and various charges since he
became famous as the states star
witness in the Frank case. Drunk and
disorderIy conduct wife-beating, va
grancy, gambling, selling blind tiger
whisky and others are included in
ibis recird. Recently while serving a
stockade sentence for vagrancy he
filled out his QUESTIONABLE for the
draft and claimed deferred classifica-
ton on the ground that he was the
sole support of an aged and widowed
mother"

Syrian Colony of Americus Opens
Campaign With $3.50 Hand
ed to Chairman
BUSINESS MEN WORK CITY,
WOMEN TAKE RESIDENCES
Dr.. Daniels Makes thrilling Appea,
At Mass Meeting at First
Methodist Church

The canvass for funds for the relief
Of the suffering peoples of the Near
East started off auspiciously this
morning, with every committee on the
job and working, just as planned and
arranged by Chairman H o. Jones.
The mems committees met at Mr.
Jones office at $50 o'clock and were
assigned to cover the entire business
section of the city. The ladies COM
mittees met at 9 o'clock and received
assignments covering the white resi-
dental section of the city. The ne
groes committee was also on hand
promptly and accepted the assign
ment of soliciting among the colored
population
Chairman Jones was. highly elated
at the smoothness with which the
campaign got under way and pros
poets for the countys quota of $3,125
to be quickly raised. He was all the
more encouraged by having turned
over to him before the canvass start
ed a total of $26712, nearly 10 per
cent. of the county's quota. This was
made up of the following voluntary
contributions which had been laid
upon his desk:
Americus Syrian colony ------$ $4,000
n
Shiloah Sunday School --------$l7.12
r. j. Perry y------------------$2O.OO
Mr.. Jones expected to add Greek
committee to the workers by this
afternoon, as the Greek residents are
especially interested in this campaign
and are ready to add materially to the
contributions.
The committees have been at work
since starting out this morning, and
will start reporting to Mr.. Jones at
4 o'clock this afternoon. 1t is the
hope of the chairman that the entire
quota may be raised today, but in
case it is not the canvass will con-
tinue until the county has gone over
the top.
The mass meeting at the First Meth
odist church last night which initiated
the Armenian relief drive, was dis
appointment in mater of attendance,
but a success in enthusiasm and the
intense interest with which the speak
er, Dr. Charles w Daniels, pastor OF
the First Baptist church of Atlanta,
was heard. Less than 100 persons at
tended the meeting, but this was at
tributed largely to the desire of peo-
pie generally to avoid indoor
gatherings
1t is doubtful if more earnest or
telling address upon any subject was
ever made in Amercius than that de-
livered by DR.. Daniels upon the ter
rible conditions existing in the Near
East, and the duty now upon the
shoulders of the citizens of this ma
ton to provide for them the neces-
saries of life to tide them over until
they can sow and reap enough to exist
another winter.
H. o. Jones. chairman of the drive
for this county, presided over the
meeting, and the speaker of the even
ing was introduced eloquently by B.
A. Nisbet, who paid a glowing tribute
to the deep sincerity of DIR Daniels
in his life work for humanity.
Dr. Daniels opened with tribute to-
the work Of Henry Morganthau, for

Like Sweet Sandwiches?
gE -------------- F7%
(By Biddy Bye)

Are you looking for som ething new and different in sandwiches?
 Something festive. and something sweet-flavored to serve with afternoon tea or cold beverages?
 Most of us like an occasional varia- ton from the meat, or cheese or nut butter standbys of picnic baskets and luncheon table, so let's try these sweet sandwiches.
 Ginger Figs-To make. stew 1-2 pound of dried figs and 1-2 cupful of candied ginger root in 1-2 cupful of water, adding 1 tablespoonful of su- gar. Cook the mixture for 30 min utes and when 1t is nearly done add 3 teaspoonfuls of lemon juice. Cool and spread on thin, buttered slices of white bread. It is also good used in white and brown bread combination sandwiches, or spread on salted wal CTS and covered with meringue and slightly Drowned.
 Sweet Nut Sandwiches-Chop 1-2 cupful of seeded raisins with 1 cupful Ol nut meats ana 1-2 CGpTul hgS. Add 1 tablespoonful of bitter chocolate, grated fine and thin and moisten the mixture with cream. Spread on either white or brown bread, buttered
 Maple Sugar Dream-Melt 1-2 cup ful of pure maple sugar with ta- blespoonfuls of water until hot and soft but not dissolved into sirup When just melted add 1 tablespoonful of good butter, remove from the stove and beat until creamy. Spread on thinly buttered bread.
 Honey Cocoanut Sandwiches-Beat 1 cupfu1 of fresh grated cocoanut into 1-2 cupful of strained honey, adding a spoonful of hot water if necessary to thin the honey. Chopped nut meats may be added if desired. Spread on buttered brown bread, or salted wafers-
 Marmalade Sandwiches Sweet sandwiches always satisfactory and easy to make are made with any sort of rich marmalade spread on buttered bread. Mint jelly also makes a good sweet sandwich, and any plain jelly with a few chopped nut meats added is a good sweet filling.
 One hostess achieved a delicious and different" sandwich by spreading creamy cottage cheese and the match ing halves with tart currant jelly.

"The Beauty Shop" is in two scenes and tells of the ad- ventures and financial difficulties of Doctor Budd the beauty specialist. How he turns one old lady into a replica of Mary Pickford and how he battles with a vendetta. makes up the theme of the story that is unusually bright in dialogue and situations.

GrendaI and Esther are one of the funniest teams in vaudeville and The Eduards present fine come dv shadowgraph act while Burke and Betty are a fine comedy couple.

 It is probable that those who talk learnedly of 'art'' on the screen, are not always exactly sure of their mean ing. But no one, even the least con- scious of what constitutes art, could fail to recognize something far beyond the ordinary in motion pictures in "Don't Change Your Husband" which was presented at the Lyceum theater vesterday It is a picture by Cecil E. DeMille which is in itself a guarantee of high quality. But even MT.

The story is now version of the familiar triangle a lovely and romantic young wife, a husband immersed in business and neglectful of his wife and a debon-
