BRITISH VETS ARE
SHOWING ALARM

London, November 1-(Reciprocal News
Service )-That British "wets" are thor
oughly alarmed by progress being made
by the dry campaign is shown by the
number of stories of indulgence in other
irtoxicants than beer and whisky now APP
pearing in the press. One allegation is
that even the present scarcity and high
price of whisky is driving the country
to drink wood alcohol, eau de coiogne
and other scents.
In the street in a single day it is re-
ported that 10 women were found drunk
with eau de cologne. Doctors are point
ing out by way of consolation that the
habitual drinking of cheap scents and
commercial alcohol would quickly rid the
country of drunkards by killing them

ATLANTA MAYOR IS
MADE MEMBER OF
COMMERCE BOARD
Georgia Retains Warm Spot
for Underwood and Hopes
to See Him Returned to
the Senate
~ HERvEY w. LAIRD

Atlanta. Ga, November 15-(Special)
On the proposition to make the mayor
of the city ex-officio member of the
board of directors the Atlanta Chamber
OF Commerce recently staged lively
session, those in favor of so doing
winning out easily.
Opposition 10 the idea was led by
Wilmer L. Moore, twice president of
the chamber, who feared that ~ might
mean an Introduction into the opera
tons of the body of a dangerous politi-
cal possibility The movement was
so strong, however, that the chairman
Of the board of county commissioners
was. later added to the board in the
same relation as the mayor.
The chamber also eliminated an old
time practice of making the retiring
president a member of the board, pro-
viding that when presiding officer re-
tires he gets back into the ranks, I'M
less otherwise assigned to new special
duties.
over in the Atlanta AID club Thurs
day they took in a lot. of new mem
bers. among them Buford Goodwin, who
recently came here from Birmingham
to be manager of the Georgian and
American. George Lowman, also well
known in Birmingham, made a speech
about Buford and his work
President Dave Webb, of the Ad Mems
club, said nobody had to introduce
Buford in Atlanta, for didn't we work
together many years ago on the old
Georgian Somebody cried out: Let
him forget it, Dave" But both of them
insisted that it was a matter of pride
and the others let it go al that. Several
old newspaper men spoke pleasantly
of Mr.. Goodwin and his work in the
south
This talk about making Oscar Under
wood minority leader in the upper
house of the United States Senate finds
response in the empire state of the
south. When l came here in 1912 they
were talking more about him than any
other democrat, not excepting Wood
row Wilson, the states own son in a
sense.
In the years since. l have found that
Georgia has a fond feeling for this
great leader of Alabama and is ready
to applaud him on the smallest pretext.
His course during the war, his stand in
the support of the administration and
his common sense attitude to all move
ments of the people has emphasized
the impression that he is dependable as
a legislator and reliable as a leader.
Georgia would be very much disap-
pointed If anything kept the Alabama
people from sending him back to the
Senate.

methods of the Chamber of Commerce.
