His Greatest Discovery,

Macon has never witnessed Such
a spectacle as may he seen every
day at Third and Cherry streets,
where John Pomefoy, the remark
able New Zealander, is meeting the
nIblie and explaining his unique
theories
It would he hard to estimate
/ lust how many people call to see
/ Mr.. Pomeroy during a single day.
Inc store where he makes his head
quarters seems to have become the
mecca for hundreds of people
anxious to see him, and to hear
7 him tell his bewilderjng, but con
+ ylncing theories.
Mr.. PomerOy has gained q world
wide reputation for his scientific
genius, and especially by giving the
Allies the means to stop the das-
tardly German air raids on the
poor, defenseless women and chill
dren OF LundOn and the entire. sur
rounding country.

Yes, it is true" said his sacre
airy when seen at the Hotel DCmp-
5ay in Macon several days ago
That hlr. p0neroy IS TIE man who
:reated the explosive bullet rhat put
in end to the Zeppelin raids on
England.
Words can but weakly picture
the terrors inflicted by those air
monsters OF incarnate destruction
he Ieppelins.
Imagine, if you can, a quiet
Aomc-loyirgeolpmunity in England
1t is nightlal mothers tuckinc
away Their pFecious, helpless little
tots for he night Shades drawn
, lights burning cheerfuily, and the
older children gathered round thc
table for the evenings study hoJr
Suddenly comes q tearing, mid
dening crash, rending the quiet
4 peace, followed by the horrit le
mingle of screams of terror and
the agOnizing cries of the mangls I'd
victims.
j "a devastating, death-reaphlg
! bomb has been dropped into this
! peaceful community of inoffensive
helpless women and children, fro q
huge Zeppelin manned by crew
OF iiends whose greatest joy lies in
! deeds of unspeakable inhumanity.
Until Mr. Pomeroy stopped the
Zeppelins from ravaging England
! the people of London were terror
stricken and afraid to venture out
/ from their places of hiding, know
ing that at any moment d German
bomb might fall right into their
midst and annihiiate them. Imagine
/ such a condition in one of our own
/ cities, and then see the gratitude
( of the people when the menace OF
/ instant death is taken away. That
is how the people of London and
4 entire England worshipped this
man when they saw the Zeppelins
brought down in flames one by one
as fast as they came from their
haunts across the Sea. Everywhere
could be heard the now familiar
slogan: Good old Pomeroy, we love
YOU, as each German air raider
fell never to harass the defense
less women and children of civi,iza
ton again.
Mr.. Pomeroy does not consider
this his greatest achievement
however" continued his secretary
The bullet vas just an incident in
connection With his life work
which has been the conservation OF
human life and alternating the suf
fering. For years he has travelled
all over the Antipodes investigating
