FIX DEFINITE DATE. OPPO-

ATLANTA, Ca Practically all of
the members of the Georgia general
assembly went home for Thanksgiv-
ing, but few remained in Atlanta
to see the Tech Auburn football game
and to be the Thanksgiving guests Of
friends in this city.
Great interest is shown in the plan
of several representatives to seek adj
journment of the extra session on Sat-
urday, December s. This movement is
sponsored by Representative Parks of
Terrell county, Burt of Dougherty
county, Harris of Jefferson county and
Others. Their argument is that the
extra session viii drag along until
Christmas unless a definite adjorn-
ment date is set, so that legislation
may be speeded UP.
Opponents of the adjournment plan
argue that definite date to quit will
afford an opportunity for flibustering
and probably prevent the completion
of the program outlined in the two
calls Of Governor Walker. They point
to the fact that no bill has yet passed
both houses, and it will probably be
the last of this week before any meas
ure does become a law.

MOSCOW RESIDENTS
LIVE LIKE SARDINES
MORE THAN 100000 IN CITY
BUILT FOR FEWER THAN
100000. RENTALS HIGH.

MOSCOW.-All of the compact
ness of living like sardines in a can,
together with about the same amount
of privacy as if one were living in a
goldfish bowl, is enjoyed by the ma
jority of Moscow's inhabitants. There
are more than 100000 of them, living
in city built for fewer than 100000
and only the very prosperous newly
rich and a few lucky foreigners who
have fat expense accounts have any
thing like spacious quarters.
Housing conditions are somewhat
better than last year, because some
buildings have been repaired, but for
every free room there are hundreds
of applicants, ready to pay large fees
merely for the privilege of moving in
500 Feet for Bare Room.
Generally speaking the legal amount
of space to which any individual is
entitled equals that taken up in an
American house by a small bath room
or a large clothes closet. In houses
which have been returned to private
owners, or which have been exempted
from the space regulations by agree
ment with individuals who undertake
to repair them, it is sometimes posi-
Bile to obtain several rooms.
But Moscow is money mad, and has
been for two years, and the premiums
charged merely for obtaining rooms
are sometimes fantastic. For example,
the writer was asked $500 cash, plus
SIS rental, for one small unfinished
room with no conveniences whatso-
ever.
Hotels on Gold Basis.
Foreigners usually live in the gov
eminent controlled hotels, which OF
late have become so expensive that
London or New York hotel charges
pale in comparison.
All of the Moscow hotels and res
taurants are now on a gold basis, cal
culating the charges in gold rubles
and converting them into paper mon
ey at the days rate Of exchange.

DEMOCRATIC CHIEFS
COUNT KHAN VOTES
LEADERS FAVOR DENOUNC-
ING ORDER. MOVEMENT
SUBSIDIES IN SOUTH.

FRENCH LICK, Ind.-One sub
ject which continually projects itself
into all political discussions of the
democratic chiefs here and the on they
find most unpleasant and battling to
meet is what they are to do about the
Ku Klux Klan
Since coming into the middle west
for his rest and to meet his party
conferees Charles F. Murphy has
heard more about the khan than he
hotbed of the khan and every coun-
ty leader in the entire middle west is
alarmed over its growth and by its
threats.
While not ready to announce their
decision on the question, the leaders
are discussing every phase of the khan
movement and are preparing for all
possibilities they may have to meet in
the campaign. Observing strict silence
regarding their attitude, the demo-
cratic leaders have indicated they be-
lieve the issue must be met squarely
and it is not improbable they may
come to an agreement on just what
moves to make.
If the sentiment which prevails here
exists in the convention next June the
democratic party will adopt a plat
form denouncing the khan in particu-
lar and all movement and organiza-
tons which stir mp racial and religious
prejudice in general. They believe that
any candidate who accepts indorse-
ment of the khan in any degree will
be dropped instantly
Thomas Taggart, Indiana boss, who
is seeing Charles F. Murphy here ev-
cry day, is believed to have made up
his mind that the party must go on
record in opposition to the khan. Be-
fore leaving for Chicago George E.
Brennan, Illinois leader, made it clear
that he favored going to the bat" on
the issue. Mr.. Taggart's views are be-
lieved to have been reflected in part
at last by Senator Ralston, Indiana's
favorite son in the presidential race,
who stated recently in an address that
the democratic party must continue to
stand as it always has for constitu
tional rights, including religious free
DOM
Reports to the leaders show that the
khan movement is subsiding in the
south 1t has been losing force in the.
last year, the reports state. This is ac-.
counted for partly by the fact that ne
groes have been moving north in large
numbers. The hooded organization
had been gaining in the north, espe-
cially in the border states like Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois, what it has lost
in the south
Because this issue presents some
thing new in politics and because
they have no precedents to guide
them, the leaders are trying to figure
out the voting strength and weak
ness.

FIGHT is PLANNED
ON ARSENATE TAX
EFFORT WILL BE MADE IN
CONGRESS TO PUT WEEVIL
POISON ON FREE LIST.

Vigorous efforts to amend the fed
eral tariff law so as to place calcium
arsenate upon the free list, will be
made as soon as congress convenes in
December. This is clearly indicated in
the unanimous expressions of con
gressmen and senators from all the
cotton growing states, in replies they
have sent to letter recently mailed
by ]. ]. Brown, Georgia commission
er of agriculture
In his letter Mr.. Brown pointed out
how important calcium arsenate is in
the fight which the farmers of this
part of the country are making against
the boil weevil. He also reminded the
lawmakers that the tariff of twenty
five per cent placed upon arsenate by
the last congress was really the result
of a misunderstanding of chemical
terms, it really having been the intent
to place the tariff upon another prod
uct altogether.
Will Take Heed.
Congress would never, knowingly,
have imposed duty upon calcium ar
senate, at the same time that practical
ly every agricultural authority of the
federal government, as well as the
agricultural departments and colleges
of all the cotton states, are advocating
the use of calcium arsenate as the one
dependable weapon to be used against
the boil weevil, said Mr.. Brown.
The response to Mr. Browns letter
to the cotton states delegations has
been practically unanimous. Every
member of those delegations has writ
ten that he will not only support such
an amendment to the tariff act. but
that he will, if necessary, join in in
PRODUCING the desired amendment
Thus it is felt to be practically an as
sured fact that the effort will be made
and if it is made, congress is conf
IDENTIFY expected to lift this burden
from the shoulders of the cotton
growers, a burden never intended and
accidentally imposed in the first place.

MANY PEACE PLANS

More than $4,000 peace plans were

Usher for the best plan to preserve
the peace of the world.
The proposals came from contest
ants from p different nations.

Half the total sum will be paid I'M

A nationwide referendum will be
conducted next spring by the award
committee on the plan adjudged to be

A NATIONAL LEAGUE
FIGHTS WHITE PLAGUE
BILLION SEALS ARE OUT FOR
18TH ANNUAL SALE OF THE
PENNY STICKERS.

The National Tuberculosis Associa-
ton and its affiliated state and local
/ agencies have everything in readiness
for the sixteenth annual Christmas
seal sale.
More than 1,000.000,000 seals are in
circulation this year, and approximate
ly 2000,000,000 have been sold and
5000, 100000 distributed since the first
Christmas seal sale.
Denmark Started Movement.
Sixteen years ago Miss Emily P.
Bissell, of Wilmington, Del, sold seals
for the first time in this country after
a similar movement had been carried
out in Denmark Miss Bissell raised
$1,000 to pay on the site of the first
tuberculosis sanitarium in Delaware.
The penny stickers that could be
bought by rich and poor, children and
grown-upss became popular at once.
From the first it was realized that the
organized movement to combat tuber
culosis could have widespread educa
t,onal value.
From 1908 to 1919 the Christmas
seal sale was sponsored by the Amer
lean Red Cross The 1919 seal was the
first to carry the double-barred cross,
the special symbol of the fight against
tuberculosis and the official emblem
of the National Tuberculosis AssoCia-
ton.
Rudolph Ruzicka, the designer Of
this years SEAL IS Bohemian and
received his first training in this coun-
try while cutting signatures for rub
Der stamps.
Today he is an internationally
known designer of wood engravings,
posters and Illustrations His little
daughter posed for the seal design as
the child in front of the fireplace.
For 1928 more than a billion seals
are on the market. Last year $3,842,
500 was raised from the sale of seals
and in the 10 years of conducting an
rual seal sales more than $25,000O00
have been raised.
The seals have been sold in rural
anu urban centcrs throughout the
country. People in all sections have
had share in helping to spread IN
formation and teach the public how
to prevent and combat the disease.
In 1921 there were l07,OOO deaths
from tuberculosis in the United States
and on the basis of nine cases to one
death. which rate is the result OF FIVE
years experience at the health demon
stration at birmingham, Mass, there
were about 100000 active cases.
Causes Industrial Loss.
Inasmuch as the tuberculosis death
rate for males is nearly one-half high
er than for females, and since one out
of every five deaths from all causes
between the producing years, namely,
the ages IS and A, is due to tubercu-
losis, the actual cost of tuberculosis
to communities through losing their
wage earners is really great deal
more.
Certain occupations, also, are more
conducive to the infection of tubercu-
losis than Others. Where dust IS a
necessary accompaniment OF the work,
as in potteries, textile factories, mines
and so on the prevalence is greater.

NEW YORK.-Governor Alfred

REED FOR PRESIDENT;
HARDW|CK IS FOR HIM
GEORGIA POLITICS HAVE BRO
KEN OUT IN AN ENTIRE
LY NEW PLACE.
TOM BILLIE MAY TAKE STUMP
Former Governor Likely to Return to
State and Edit Georgian Report of
Political and Newspaper Deal
Comes From Reliable Source.

Comes From Reliable Source.
ATLANTA, Ga.-Georgia politics
broke out in an entirely new place in
Atlanta today. The latest rumors con-
Germ the return to activity in Georgia
at once OF Thomas w. Hardwick, ex-
governor and former United States
senator.
AS Editor?
The report comes from a very re-
liable source; a source very close to
the ex-governor says that he may re-
turn to Georgia as editor of the At
lanta Georgian.
Negotiations are said to be under
way between Hardwick and Hearst
to this end. They are said to have
reached the stage where a definite
has been made to Hard
wick and he has made a counter
which differs little from
the offer made by Hearst. The great
est difference now is said to be the
length of the contract. The salary part
has been mutually agreed upon, the
gossips in capitol corridors say.
But this is but half the story. SEN
ator Jim Reed of Missouri, is about
to announce his candidacy for presi-
dent of the United States and Hard
wick is to line UP behind him. The
may come within the
next few days and with it will be the
further announcement that the cam
paign is to be pitched in Georgia and
that Hardwick and Reed will stump
the state together. Hardwick has
promised to tour the state with Reed
and make something like twelve or
fifteen speeches for him.
Reliable Source.
This is the gossip among very
few Georgians now in Atlanta who
know of the newspaper and the polit-
ical deal. 1t comes from a source too
close to the ex-governor to be ignored
by those interested in immediate po-
litica1 matters in Georgia.
Next year will be an unusually live
one as far as politics are concerned.
All officials, national, state and coun-
ty, will be elected and aspirants are
already making known their ambi-
tons.

Ever see a peppermint farm? Know
where the flavor used in peppermint
candy comes from? Perhaps not many
can answer in the affirmative. There
are comparatively few peppermint
farms in the middle west, as it is rare
that soil can be found that is favor
able to the plant. New York, Ohio,
Michigan, Illinois and Indiana are the
leading producers, the latter leading.
Growers of Indiana realized $4,000, 1000
from the sale of peppermint oil last
season.

Peppermint is a pungent, aromatic

roots OF other plants of the same spe-

ATLANTA WOMEN FOR
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE

dPpITA. Ga.-The need of
"schoor 9cracy," in which
the denocra.. rs principles
and policies are taught is
shown in Atlanta at tn.o time. The
convention of democratic women
remently held discussed presiden-
tial straw vote taken recently at

incidentally, magnificent club
house. Although the newspapers
published nothing about the straw
vote, it was asserted that the ma
iority of the ballots were cast for
Mr.. Coolidge.
