Stillman Withdrawal
Will Be Fought by
Counsel for Child

NEW YORK, May 14.-Reports
that James A. Stillman would with
draw his divorce suit, circulated in
connection with postponement of the
"secrct' hearings, today brought out
information that counsel for two
year-Old Guy Stillman would oppose
such a move.
While John z. Mack, acting guar
dian for Guy. would make no com
ment on the new phase of the case,
he has declared several times that
any settlement outside of court
would not affect his determination
to prove the child's legitimacy, and
that withdrawal by either party prob
ably would throw this part Of the
action into open court.
Despite denials Of attorneys for
both sides that postponcmcnt of the
hearings from May 10 to % had any
significance, reports persisted that
the proceedings would be postponed
from time to time until a settlement
had been made.

The solution OF the financial prob

According to bankers thousands of
dollars, even in these modern times,

These thousands, il placed where
they should be, in the bank, might be
an important factor in alleviating the
industrial situation, by making more
loans possible, thus helping trade con-
ditions, according to a local banker.
The public has been educated to
realize the advantages of the banking
system, and there is less boarding OF
the sock and teapot variety than in
former years." he said.
"Yet there are still few timid folk
who prefer to hide their money away

SOFT DRINKS AND SODA
MENACE TO HEALTH
A HARVARD PROFESSOR DE-
CLARES ICE CREAM PARLORS
WORSE THAN SALOONS.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--Ice cream
parlors today are a greater menace to
Americans than ever the saloon was.
Soft drinks, ice cream sodas and the
various colored and unlimited concoc-
tons dispensed at soda fountains are
worse for the general health than liq-
uor.
Prof. John Lovett Morse, OF the
Harvard medical school, made these
declarations today and added:
Had l the privilege of choosing be-
tween the liquor saloon and the ice
cream parlor l would favor the sa-
loon"
No child under 5 years old should
be given ice cream, he said, as it is
detrimental to the health and well be-
ing of the child.
Prof. Morse declared the American
people nave gone mad over sweets and

FIREMAN'S FINAL
DAY A DRY" ONE
UNKIND FEDERAL PROHIBI.
TON OFFICER TOOK KICK
FROM FESTIVE OCCASION.

A federal prohibition officer took all
the kick out of the final day of the
recent National Fire Chiefs conven-
ton in Atlanta, but it didn't leak out
until dav or so ago just what 1t
was that happened to the joyful occa-
sion in its closing hours. 1t seems that
the entertainment committee, and on It
were some pretty prominent men, took
note of the fact that these visiting
gentlemen would undoubtedly require
some of the stimulus produced by a
drop OF FIRE water now and again.
"A supply of the liquid Joy was OBJ
tanned and, to be especially cautious
of so valuable a possession, 1t was
very carefully arranged in an iron
bound trunk and deposited in the hotel
room Of one of the most genial gentle
men in Atlanta-in the state for that
matter. From day to day everything
progressed nicely and with a frequent
regularity the strong box was touched
for contribution OF its contents. Ev-
Eervbody was happy and the visiting
chiefs were bubblinb over with their
praise of the unstinted entertainment.
On the last day OF the convention, how
ever. Enforcement Officer Sapphire,
who has been especially conspicuous
in many raids throughout this territory
lately, caught Whit of something go
ing on and, under the exercise OF his
authority, visited the room of the ge,
NAL Atlanta gentleman and removed
therefrom the valuable trunk and that
remaining portion of its contents,
which is said to have been some con-
siderable quantity OF liquid happiness.
ANYWAY. members OF the local en-
l+ertainment committee are quite peev-
ed over this particular activity, and
their comment on it indicates that
their feelings are very much hurt.
