very likely be a complete breaking
up of the convention. Instead of
sending to San Francisco delega-
ton upon which at least a majority
of the democrats of Georgia are
agreed thereI would likely go two
contesting delegations. The Palmer
delegation would claim the right to
be seated. Thomas E. Watson would
probably send a contesting delegation
which would demand to be seated on
the ground that his popular vote and
the number of counties he carried
were larger than Palmer or Smith.
Whether the Smith forces would send
a delegation is quite uncertain. More
probably they would wash their hands
of the convention and withdraw from
it entirely, leaving Clark Howell and
Watson to fight it out or trade,
whichever they desired.
Realizing that a split convention,
with the likelihood of contesting del
egates would not be good for the
party in Georgia conservative Palm
er leaders are putting more empha-
sis on the question of getting togeth-
err than they are on the question of
controlling the convention.

FAT WOMEN START A
CAMPAIGN TO REDUCE
Twenty-Four Volunteer in Chicago
Health Commissions Drive
Against H. c. of L.

CHICAGO.-Twenty-four self-con-
fessed fat women started today on a
sixty-day campaign to reduce their
total of nearly two and one-half tons
to something nearer their proper to-
tai of only slightly more than ton
and half.
The women, whose average weight
is 201.66 pounds, pledged themselves
to daily round of garden digging,
clad in overalls, long walks, reducing
exercises and strict dieting. They
are volunteers in Health Commits
sioner Robertson's latest drive against
the high cost of living and surplus
avoirdupois.
Plans to start twenty-five men in
the same race failed when only one
man volunteered and he deserted.
One buxom typist, age 32 and .
feet 71a inches tall, tipped the doc
tors officially tested scales at just
1923 pounds, and won the uncontest-
ed championship. Seven others
were above the 2O0-pound mark.

GYPSUM AS A SOIL
IMPROVER.
From the Southern Ruralist.

Gypsum or land plaster, as it is
commonly known, and whose chemi-
cal name is calcium sulphate, has
been recognized for over a century
as a valuable soil conditioner and
fertilizer. Its Importance was first
discovered in England. Samples
were brought to America and expert
ments were conducted with it on sew
eral crops. 1t was found that the new
fertilizer gave remarkable results
with leguminous crops. 1t was also
found that crops of the mustard fam
lily were greatly benefited.
The two elements added to the soil
by gypsum are calcium and sulphur.
By the addition of the former ele-
ment practically the same flocculat-
ing effect is secured as by the use
of lime. This action gives the soil a
more desirable texture, allowing a
freer circulation of water and air,
and relieving the adhesive nature of
some types of soils. Gypsum, how
ever, does not have the neutraliZing
effect of lime in acid soils.
The most important service per-
formed by the fertilizer is the addi-
ton of sulphur. Sulphur and phos-
phorus are found in almost equal
amounts in the soil. The amounts are
small, but it is very important that
the supply be maintained. Some sui
phur is washed from the air by the
rain and in this manner some of the
element that is removed by crops is
replaced. But this source of replen-
ishment is not sufficient to make up
the loss through the removal of
crops. An application of gypsum
will pay for itself by supplying the
deficiency.
There is still another service of
some Importance performed by gyp-
sum. The potash and phosphorus is
made more soluble and therefore
more quickly available. Gypsum is
valuable as stimulator of the nitro
gen fixing bacteria on the roots OF
clover, alfalfa, soy beans, peas and
other legumes. In this way it is an
indirect provider of nitrogen.
Gypsum should be applied to the
soil at the rate of from 200 to SOC
pounds per acre. 1t may either be
sowed broadcast on the land or added
to the stable manure as an ammonia
preserver.

SMITH IS EXPECTED
TO BE CANDIDATE
ON HIS RETURN FROM WASH
INGTON HE WILL ANNOUNCE
HIS INTENTION REGARDING
RACE FOR SENATE AGAIN.

ATLANTA.-Senator Hoke Smith
loft for Washington Wednesday. He
will return to Georgia two days prior
~ the presidential convention to be
hold in Atlanta on May Is.
M announcement of Senator
Smiths intentions with regard to the
sSanatorial race is likely to be made
,'ntij after the convention. He has
been quoted as saying in his recent
campaign speeches that he would
not he a candidate for reelection to
+he senate if he were defeated in
the the presidential primary. Those quo
tations were incorrect. What he said
was that the presidential primary
might be the last time his name was
before the people.
Friends of Senator Smith insist
that he should run. They do not re-
card the recent primary as fair
fest of his strength. His well known
Influence and effectiveness as one
of the states representatives in the
senate were not factor in the pres
idential contest. He and the other
candidates represented a viewpoint.
As often urged by w. w. Osborn, of
Savannah, it was not choice be-
tween men, but choice between is
sues. Mr.. Palmer stood for the
league of nations without substantial
reservations. Senator Smith stood
for it with substantial reservations.
to nullify some sections of it.
Thomas E. Watson stood against it
in any form.
Although in the newspapers the
Palmer leaders are putting much en-
phasis on the rule providing that the
delegates to San Francisco shall be
named from the supporters of the
candidate receiving the highest coun-
ty unit vote in the state convention,
the same leaders privately express
the opinion that the convention will
not be bound by anybody's rules ex-
cept their own.
Can Not Bind Convention.
All politicians and lawyers agree
that no executive committee can bind
a convention. Nobody recalls con-
vention where minority of its mem
bers controlled it's action. Such a
procedure would be without prece-
dent. For many years the demo-
cratic national convention has oper-
ated by the two-thirds rule in making
presidential nominations. The demo-
cratic national committee would have
no authority to make a new. rule to
bind the convention. Neither would

pariodic Bilious Attacks.

Persons subject to bilious attacks
at regular intervals know about
when to expect an attack. They find
that they have no desire for food
when an attack is due but usually
eat because it is meal time. SKIP
one meal and take three of Cham
berlain's Tablets and you may be
able to avoid the attack. Persons
subject to periodic bilious attacks
should not drink tea or coffee at any
