HEAD
EXPECTS LOWER
LIVING PRICES

That the people Of the country may
expect living costs to be lower from
now on and that the business of the
country will be on sound basis
with a few months, is the opinion
of George w. Kibler, president of
chain of thirty-three mems clothing
stores, operated in principal cities of
the country under the firm name of
Kibler & Long, who was in Atlanta
Tuesday and gave out an interesting
interview concerning o the present
trend Of prices.
Kibler & Long operate two stores
in Atlanta; one at Peachtree and Cone
streets, and the other at 10 Decatur
street. A revision in prices has
Just been announced, whereby the
stores will sell all suits and over
coats at two prices, $35 and $45. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Kibler, these prices
will not be changed for at least
twelve months.
The Kibler & Long firm has been
In business for twenty years, and MT.
KILLER said Tuesday that none OF Its
thirty-three stores had ever had a
"sale" at reduced prices, and further,
that this was the first time In its MIS-
tory that prices had ever been re-
dnced, for any reason whatever.

lowing appeal to the various civic
organizations:
1.-THE people of Atlanta have not
responded as literally in the past to
the support Of the fair as we would
like Last year a larger percentage
of out-of-town people passed through
the gates than Atlantians.
This year we have arranged for
the best fair in the history Of the
association. AS you know, the fair
and all that it owns belongs to the
city of Atlanta; therefore, whatever
we do out there adds to the citys
wealth and prosperity The educa-
tional exhibits and the amusement
features certainly must attract ev-
cry person who has the welfare of
the fair, our community and the
state at large at heart.

of tickets. We are sending you me

Pearl-Bearers Saved
From Death by X-Ray

CHICAGO, Ill.-The X-rays have
been introduced in the pearl fish
cries Of Ceylon to determine the
presence or absence of a pearl in
oysters without destroying the BIZ
valve, according to advices from the
Orient. One of the worlds most an
cient jewels may be saved In this
way from eventual extinction. p.
It has been customary to open, the
oyster shells in the search for pearls.
This results in the death of the oys-
ter. This process continued through
the centuries has seriously depleted
the number of pearl oysters. The
pearl fisheries are approaching ex-
haustion. No large pearls have been
found for years. The X-ray recently
was tried in an effort to save the
oysters. 1t apparently solved the
problem. 1t was found feasible to
determine whether an oyster con-
tanned a pearl. Even small pearls
were made visible. Mollusks that
held no gems were thrown back to
become the possible pearl-bearers of
the future.

asked that congress make 1900, 900

No plan for the final disposition of
the liquor has been determined on by
the bureau, Mr.. Kremer told the com
mittee, adding that the permissive
Withdrawals after constitutional prohi-
bitlon becomes effective would be so
rev as not to pay the expense for
maintaining the guard. Congress, he
suggested, may be asked to solve the
problem of disposing of the LIQUOR, and

tratlon IN a few places. Such a plan

Seventy five thefts have been report
ed from the warehouses in the last few
months, despite iron doors and bars,
WE prohibition commissioners said, add
ing IN response to an inquiry hat thefts
were Unknown In the wet days hen
liquor was easily obtainable. Without
a large increase in the present force
at the warehouses, Mr.. Kremer said,
large quantities would be released by
theft and distributed and consumed in
defiance of law.
Distillers who own the liquor were
said by the commissioners to be press
ing the bureau for an increased guard
because they are compelled, under their
bond placing their liquor into the ware
houses. to pay $40 a gallon for with
drawals, and thefts come within this
provision.
More than half the liquor-approxi-
mately 80, 000, 900 gallons-is in Ken
lucky warehouses. Large quantities
also are stored in Indiana, Ohio, ILL
nots, New York, Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania, n in practically every state
there is some liquor in storage.
Commissioner Kremer in telling the
committee of plans for action later in
the week when the constitutional pro-
hihition amendment becomes effective,
said a force of 1,400 agents for en-
forcement Of the law had been organ
lied. This force will be a dual organi-
cation, he said, most of the agents be-
ing raiders and detectives with the
other portion forming the branch of
the bureau to have charge of permissive
sales.
Most Of the force. 1t was said. would
be conferred in the East, officials ex-'
pecting to need fewer men in the
Western prohibition states. The force,
the commissioner said. will not get ac-
lively at work until Jan. II or IS.
