GREY NOTE VIEWED
AS TO U. S. STATUS
LETTER REGARDED GREATEST
DEVELOPMENT IN TREATY,
BUT UNWELCOME.

Observation-Disclosures and dip
lomats were almost unit today in
the assertion that the letter from
Viscount Grey, was the greatest de-
velopment in the treaty fight since us
inception. !,
A question of commanding local
Importance which arose was what
bearing would the letter have on
Lord Grey's future service as dip
lomat in the United States?
State department officials said to,
day that technically Lord Grey still
is ambassador to the United States
from Great Britain. He was neither
retired nor recalled when he left the
United States, and still spoke with
his rank in his letter to the Times.
The statement of the ambassador
was therefore considered all the
more remarkable, as it was made
with the knowledge, so it Is every
where agreed, that it would not be
welcomed by the white house.
State department officials declined
to make any comment for publlca-
ton, Secretary Lansing refusing
even to admit that it was interest
ing" Diplomats also, for obvious
reasons, would not talk for publlca-
ton, but they expressed opinion that
Viscount Grey's utterance would
draw the contest here to focus.
Ratification Thought Nearer.
While it is admitted that the
statement caused displeasure to the
president, most commentators voiced
the belief that it would clarity
very doubtful situation, and serve a
good purpose in fastening senate ac-
ton on the peace treaty, even
though the effect might be to support
the reservationists against the non
reservationists and the president.
There had been great dQG1t, as
result of declarations made by
President Wilson, whether ratifica-
ton of the treaty by the United
States with reservations vitality af-
fecting the participation and respon-
sibilities of the United States in the
league of nations, would be accept
able to the other signatory govern
ments. 1t is accepted that Viscount
Grey's utterances has dispelled ar9
doubt in that respect.
From remarks made by European
diplomats here it would seem that
Viscount Grey reflected the sentl-
ment of virtually all the entente and
allied governments.

All! HERE IS HOPE
FOR MEEK HUBBIES
FEMINISTS ASK PENSIONS AND
ALIMONY FOR MEN. WOULD
PROTECT THEM.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Alimony
for men and pension for fathers is
the new war cry of feminists IN
Washington.
They are organizing movement
for protective legislation for men,
declaring it inconsistent for women
to clamor for equality while receiv-
ing special benefits by law. Not that
they feel gentle toward males. Take
it from Mrs. Lillian H. Keer, vice
chairman of the Colorado state
branch of the national woman's par
ty and wife of Judge Robert Kerr
of Colorado Springs, they decidedly
do not feel gentle toward males,
A sex war is coming, they darkly
predict, but until it comes they will
be consistent.
"Heipiess AS Children"
Good heavensW exclaimed Mrs.
Kerr, exasperated that any one
should think there was anything
strange about wanting to protect
men, eff they don't need protection
who does? They are more helpless
than children, 1t is necessary for
the salvation of the world that wo-
men protect them" Continuing she
said:
"The world wouldn't be in the dis
order it is now if the men hadn't
muddled affairs-let them turn the
government over to the women and
stay at home. Wen support them
Heaven knows they have done
enough talking about protecting anc
sheltering us! Well, We'll protect anc
shelter them and not talk about it.
"Some men, / suppose have a hare
time in life. There are some hare
working fathers. There are fathers
left either by death or divorce with
children on their hands. They shoulc
be pensioned by the state. States
which have mothers pensions Ger
tainly should have fathers pensions
also.
AIimony Mans Right.
eff it is right for women to have
alimony it is right for men to have
it. In cases where there are M
children and the woman has the big
ger income she should be the ali
mony paying one.
81 don't see how any self-respect
ing woman or man able to earn ;
living could take alimony, but boil
sexes should be treated alike by thu
| law"

HIGHER FOOD PRICES
FOR THIS YEAR ARE SEEN

CLEVELAND, O.-Higher food
prices for 1920 were predicted by
delegates to the joint convention
of the national Gamers associa,
citation, the canning machinery and
supplies association and the ma
ional canned foods and dried fruit
brokers' association.
"The Gamers have honestly and
earnestly striven to reduce the
cost of production" Frank Cor.
rell, of Washington, secretary OF
the Gamers association, declared,
''but the year 1920 faces them
with probable price increases over
those of 1919"
Lack of production, inflated cur
rency and riotous extravaganza of
newly rich were blamed for the
high cost of living.

OLD-TTME COLD CURE
DRINK HOT TEA!

Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take a
tablespoonful of the tea, put cup of
boiling water upon it, pour through
sieve and drink a teacup full at any
time during the day or before retiring.
1t is the most effective way to break
a cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion.
Also loosens the bowels, thus breaking
up a cold.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. 1t is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

New Zealander Who Has Made
Big following in All The
Cities He Has Visited Is Now
Meeting People of Atlanta.
HIS PURATONE IS INTERESTING
Created Sensation In Macon for Past
Several Weeks by His Unique Theo-
ries, But has Undoubtedly Fulfilled
Every Statement.

John Pomery, the noted New Zea-
land Scientist, who has been creating
such sensation in Macon for the
past few weeks, is now meeting the
people Of Atlanta.
Pomery says that ninety per cent
of all i'll health is due to weak
stomachs, and claims to prove this
with his NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. In
speaking of this theory during an in
terview Wednesday afternoon he said:
practically all the chronic i'll health
of this generation is caused by abnor-
NAL stomach conditions. In earlier
days, when the human race was closer
to nature and men and women worked
out of doors all day, the tired, droopy,
half-sick people that are now com
mon did not exist. There was SICK
ness, but it was only temporary and
very rare. There was little of this
constant half-sick condition with
which so many are afflicted.
'In the animal, or in any of the
wild tribes of Africa or the South
Sea Islands, or in uncivilized peo-
pie in any quarter Of the globe, you
see no general debility, no nerve ex-
haustion. They are not shut up all
day and they do not stuff themselves
with food when their bodies have
not had enough exercise to Justify
it. The American people have been
doing this for years and the Amerl-
can stomach has in consequence
grown slowly weaker.
"In America today there are tens
of thousands who do not know what
is the matter with them. Some say
nervousness, others kidney or liver
trouble, or lung trouble, or heart
trouble. Many have been treated
for all these things at various times.
A common complaint is all run down
az have medicine that positively
will do nothing but put the digestive
organs in condition to properly d.
gest and assimilate food. 1t took me
wears of research work all over the
Antipodes and the South Sea Islands
to get it, but here it is. With it l
have proved to thousands of people
all over the world that few people can
be sick with a sound stomach. I have
done this in Macon for the past sew
eral weeks, and I will do the same
thing here in Atlanta. l shall en-
deavor to prove every word l have
said before l leave" Puratone sold

We Must Stop Further Friction
In Our Public Schools
By BILL PRICE.

The Board of Education has consummated the long
standing plans of its dominating influences to get rid Of
ERNEST L. THURSTON, superintendent of public schools.
Mr. Ihurson is accepting the inevitable in manly fashion
lie VIII be bigger educator carrying dismissal from
the board-than he while fighting manfuly to do his
best Tor the schools against steady current of influential
opposition Ii this opposition had been encouragement and
aid this would have accomplished absolute wonders
Even as 1T was he carried the Washington schools through
the critical days of war and peace readiustments
Having back OF him the virtual Endorsement of the
United States Senate and the good of the
Washington people, Mr. Thurson looms large on the educa
tona horizon and there be little question that his
vices will be eagerly sought and generously appre
ciated elsewhere.
So far Washington concerned the fight is over and
for the good of schools the to Mr. Turston
must be given cordial support Congress will doubtless
up with the board 1t could hardly do otherwise
lin view of the fact that the board has deliberately disre
garded the wishes of the Senate committee.
What all want is the best results in the public
schools and must fight against further friction that will
retard the advancement of our children.
The Board of Education is hunting Leadership" in a
superintendent 1t remains to be whether the
board is really going to permit that leadership If the
board is to remain constituted will be possible to
give superintendent the full leadership which the
board itself points out necessary to make Washington
schools model for the naoni Temperamental' control
of schools other institutions rarely yields leadership to
others.
If the superintendent is given freedom from inter-
ference from pressure to make deasc experiments from
domneerng personalities that insist running the schools
in their way, his path may be comparatively easy and
his opportunities for success enlarged
What need most of all is the right to elect by VOTE
Board of Education that its members will be
sponsive public sentiment AS selected it is quite
the proper thing that ''the public be damned.'

expensive and it isn't necessary.
Instead of repeating more of what
| have said many times, / prefer
to give the space to my readers,
so they may be express their views
on the subject.
The "hats off in the elevator"
question has as many opinions as
there are persons. 1t strikes me
as amusing, however, for a man
to take the attitude that he should
have a different attitude toward
professional and clerical women in
a business building elevator than
he would have for other women
(or the same women in their party
clothes) in a hotel elevator. The
well bred man will always PRE-
FER to remove his hat and does
not because women demand or ex-
pect it but because such thing
is so instructive with him that it
would be an effort to do other
wise.
Men are very funny about this.
AS in most other matters, they
are just like sheep. Often l have
boarded an elevator at the twelfth
floor Of the Munsey building when
some man has gotten on at the
eleventh, another at the tenth
and failed to remove their hats.
Then about the fifth floor, some
man or men would get on, re-
move their hats and in another
second the very men who had been
riding for several seconds would
rather surreptitiously slide their
hats off their heads.
AS far as women themselves are
concerned, / don't think they care
one way or the other, but If I
were the men. would prefer to
perform that little courtesy as it
indeliby stamps the man, his birth
and his breeding. What do my
