 A delicate, luminous gray crept across the sky. A freshening breeze stirred through the forest trees, rus- ting like the skirts of a dainty woman. Don Martin Martinez, or derly to Colonel Zuniga, veteran at the age of twenty-two. and expert in war, made an odd sound in his throat and brushed his hand across his eyes.

 His head averted. the young officer drew forth a silver monogrammed case and presented it. Carril struck one end of the doub1e-headed wax Mexican match, lighted his cigarette, then extinguished and returned the stick with the scrupuIous etiouette prescribed.

 A dozen soldiers were drawn up in line few yards from the two young men, facing a bank of earth covered with vivid dew-wet flowers. Toward this spot Carril walked with controlled ease and took his stand before the bank. opposite the sol diers. He was in uniform.

ut should be kept in mind that
savings, to produce beneficial results,
must be kept in circulation, and
earn adequate interest or dividends, -
Mr.. Chase said. Possibly no other
, community activity yields such uni.
yersal benefit as the construction Of

through proper organization, thrift is
encouraged and savings profitably em-
ployed.
The Good Obtained
"The realtors. the architects the
contractors. the building material deal

Chicago, November 29.-Georges Clemenceau, who is touring the United States in an effort to forge closer bonds between this country and France, tonight, dictated the fol- lowing Thank sgiving message:
 Deeply touched by the kind recep- tion granted me and the attention given to the delivery of my message. There is much I am thankful for"
 The former war premier. who de- liyered ar address here yesterday, has spent today seeing the sights. He departs tomorrow morning for Springfield, H., where he is to deco rate the tomb of Abraham Lincoln. Then he goes to St. Louis for the fifth address of his series.
 The Tigers program for the day. worked out by himself. started with a visit to Armour's packing plant and ended with visit to the auditorium, where, as the guest of Mrs. Potter Palmer, his Chicago hostess. he heard Rinsky Korsakoff's Russian fantasy, "Sniegourotchka" (The Snow Maiden) i, sung in French.
 He received an ovation as he ap- peared at the theatre.
 It was a veritable spree for the Tiger, who usually retires at s o'clock.

 Between abattoir and opera, Glenn enceau sandwiched visits to the Chi cago Art institute, the Anderson gall leries and the Field Museum of Natu- ral History.
 Entering the art institute, he proved his knowledge of art by pick ing out the prize Corot of the collec- tion, and heading straight for it., standing for several minutes in si- lent admiration.
 Before Rickardo Canals painting of a group of Spanish dancing girls, he paused long enough to say. "I saw it in Spain. 1t is horribly vulgar"
 The exhibit before which he stopped longest was small statue of the Buddha.

BLACK-DRAUCHT
 OVER 30 YEARS
Saved Me Many Sick Spell," Says Texas Farmer, Who Has Long Known Usefulness of Black
 Draught

Naples, Texas.-"I have used Thedford's Black-Draught for years Il can safely say for more than 80 years" declares Mir. H. H. Cromer, substantial, well-known farmer, residing out on Route 3 from here.
 Il am 43 years old, and when a small boy had indigestion and was puny and my folks gave me liver regulator. Then Black-Draught was advertised and we heard of it.. 'tI began to take Black-Draught, and have used it, when needed, ever since. I use Black-Draught now in my home, and certainly recommend it for any liver trouble.
 ''I have given it a thorough trial, and after thirty years can say Black-D4 aught is my standby. It has saved me many sick spells" Mir. Cromer writes that he is ''neuer out of Black-Draught," and says several of his neighbors prefer it to any other liver medicine. "I always recommend Black Draught | to my friends" he adds. This valuable, old, powdered liver medicine is prepared from medicinal roots and herbs and has none of the bad effects so often observed from
 the use of calomel or other powerful mineral drugs.
 Black Draught helps to keep the
 liver in trim, helping prevent or re- lieve such troubles as constipation,
 biliousness, indigestion, sick head ache.

dom one can't get points if one wants to bet on team that is playing the Yellow Jackets on Grant field in Atlanta.
 Has Got Elm Guessing
 In diagnosing the effect Dona- hue's resignation will have on the strength and morale of the Auburn team, the experts have come upon two distinct opinions They are:
 One faction claims that Mikes quitting will have a demoralizing influence on the Tigers. and that they will not be able to maste the same invincibie -orces they sent against Centre two weeks ! ago.
 Another faction dopes 1t out that because of the fact that it's the last game they will play for him. those Tigers will go against Tech crying crazy, bent on showing the mentor that they are loyal to the core. and that they will fight to the last dying gasp to uphold his seasons reputa- tion
 There you are-take the two opinions for what they are worth.

 Builish Movement in Points
 For the past week or so. the wagering boys. who were willing to take Georgia Tech, have been taking the Jackets and giving Auburn six points. They have steadfastly refused to wander beyond this limit. And there has been much of the coin of the realm placed at these figures.
 still. have been told that the boys who juggle the legal tender will have change of heart over in Atlanta this morning and will become more benevolent as the time for the game progresses. A man. who should know what he's talking about, told me yesterday afternoon that with the coming of dawn in Atlanta a more lib- eral attitude would be taken by Tech packers, and that those who had kept their money in their pockets and waited for more alluring odds to show them their patience.
 The dope is that Tech packers will offer to bet on Tech today, giving Auburn 12 points.
 It's really never been an odds on bet, if one should delve into the records of the two teams for the season, but it must be re- membered that when those bet ting Atlantans believe in Tech they believe in her. and it is sell
