SWAMP HARDING
WITH PLEAS
FOR VISIT
Western Cities All Want Presi.
dent to stop off on
Coming Tour.
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES,

AUGUSTA, Ga, April 5.-Presi-
dent Harding Is being flooded with
requests for speaking engagements
on his forthcoming Western tour.
which will start in the middle Of
June. Even here, on the windup Of
his vacation, the invitations are at
tanning the proportions Of . deluge
and White House advices indicated
today an even greater stack awaits
the President upon his return, the
last of the week.
Political advisers OF Mr.. Harding
have already set to work on q
, tentative itinerary-a monumental
task considering the number OF
cities that are demanding" Presi-
dental visit. How toafit a tentative
program calling for some thirty or
fory speeches into an invitation list
running into the hundreds is a
delicate problem and one that is
full of unpleasant political posi-
bilities. Seemingly, every city west
of the Mississippi river wants Mr..
Harding to stop there.
The President probably will be-
gin with speech in Pennsylvania
| or Ohio and then continue over
the northern tier of States to the
Pacific Coast. There he will make
short dash into Alaska and out
again, making a number Of adj
dresses on the Pacific Coast, which
he has not visited, either as a
candidate or as President, and a
return journey eastward over the
southern States.
The western trip is assuming
large proportions in the minds Of
the President and his advisers, and
| for this reason the itinerary will
be prepared with great care. Re
publican leaders, whether they ap-
prove or disapprove of the timeli-
ness of the Daugherty announce
| ment, believe the trip will make
political history, because of its
bearing on the 1924 campaign and
the two remaining years OF the
present Administration. They ad.
nit, too, it will be difficult to efface
in the popular mind the aspect OF
the trip as a campaign jaunt.
There were indications today that
President Harding's vacation will
end Saturday, and that Sunday will
find the Presidential party again
in the White House.
For the second time today, the
President cancelled motor trip
to Aiken, s. c., and played golf
here with Senators Frelinghuysen
and Hale and Speaker Giilett.

ESCAPED
Gerald Chapman, MiIIion-Dol-

ATLANTA, Ga, April 5.-Capt.
Mack J. Smith, in charge OF the
guard at the Federal penitentiary
while Deputy Warden l.. J..
Fletcher led all available special
Federal officers In a bloodhound
search, said today that Gerald
Chapman, leader of q $3,000,OO
New York mail robbery, had APP
parently shown a clean pair of
heels in his night flight from a
ward of the Athens general hos
pital Chapman escaped in the
uniform of one of the officers who
had been stationed at the hospital
to guard him. He was wounded
in the hip when captured after his
first flight from the Federal peni.
Tertiary here last week.
Despite his wound, he leaped
from his bed when his guards were
out Of his room, donned the cloth
ing of one of them and slid down
a rope of bed sheets from his
second-story window to the ground.
With only a forty-minute start,
and with wound that a week ago
was thought might cause his death,
it seemed unlikely that Chapman
would get far in his flight, but
the special guards who enlisted
State officers in the search had
reported no trace of his trail early
today.

To
SCREW DOWN
RUM LID
Will Be Called Here in Few
Weeks to Confer With Presi-
dent Harding.
By GEORGE E. DURNO,
international News Service.

AhtcEH@StlUthul NeWB DCFNACGs
A system of State prohibition
enforcement codes so far-reachine
and drastic as to effectually close
up all loop holes to liquor Law
violators is to be the goal OF
Federal authorities at the con-
ference of governors, which Presi-
dent Harding will convene in
Washington within a few weeks,
international News Service learned
today.
Comprehensive plans are being
made by officials of the Federal
Prohibition Unit, under the direc'
ton of Commissioner Roy Haynes,
whereby the governors of the vari-
OTIS States will be presented with a
concrete proposal for the unifica'
ton of all State enforcement codes.
The Governors, under present, are
to be urged to prepare recommends
tons for their respective legislative
assemblies, proposing the inclusion
in their codes-where not already
written-of certain provisions urged
by the prohibition enforcement au
thorities, 1t was learned. These
provisions would provide for:
Liability For Buyers.
Making the buyer Of bootleg
liquor equally guilty with the seller
A drastic and far-reaching pad
lock" proviso, enabling the closing
of places of business where violations
had occurred.
Penalties for the counterfeitine
Of permits and labels.
Penalties for destroying evidence
A law for the removal Of state of
ficials for dereliction, violation, OF
connivancea with conspiracy.
Making it a felony to possess mp
paratus for the manufacture OF
home brew.
To Forbid Advertising.
A law forbidding the advertise
ment of materials or apparatus for
distilling liquor.
Making ii a penitentiary Offense
for possession, sale or nuisance
rather than merely levying fines
or, as an alternative. making a sec
ond-time offender liable to prison.
Making it a penitentiary offense
for the carrying of a gun or other
weapon by a liquor law violator.
Should the States conform their
codes to include these features
prohibition officials believe, lone OF
the greatest strides ever taken In
the direction of absolute enforce
ment Of the Eighteenth Amendment
would result" Many Of the pro
posed provisions already are in
corporated in certain of the State
codes, but it is hoped that the gov
errors may be prevailed upon
to bring about absolute unity OF
purpose among the State laws.
Hard To Escape Penalty.
The Incorporation of these pro
visions would make 1t hard for ar
offender to escape paying the pen
atty. officials pointed out. II
would be almost impossible for G
person arrested for violation OF the
Volstead. Act to escape indictment
and punishment under at least one
of the foregoing counts.
With a view to being fully
versed in the knowledge Of all
State codes. the prohibition unit re
Gently communicated with all gov.
errors requesting copies of Al
their enforcement statutes. These
codes have been transmitted to the
legal division of the unit with in
structions to examine them care
fully for loopholes or other fall
laCies.

"Ice about the Safest
Commodity on the
Market Today"

So writes a man who knows.
Nothing could be safer than
scientifically manufactured ice.
Pure city water is used. In
freezing it is protected from
all p possible contamination.
The freezing is done by chill
ing brine, which draws the
heat away from the water.
No brine, no ammonia can
touch the ice. 1t is handled by
machinery and goes direct to
a clean wagon or a clean stor-
age room.
The above IS the 1voy american
lee IS made. Such ice is safe to go
~ drinks or on or under foods.

HARDING HOPES.
FOR END OF Z
HOUR DAY
Secretary Davis Tells Workers
in Ohio Presidents Efforts
Will Succeed.

WARREN. Ohio. April 5.-Presi.
dent Harding's efforts to put an
end to the twelve-hour day and the
seven-day week In the steel industry
are expected soon to be crowned
with success, Secretary Of Labor
James J.. Davis said today In an
address before the Amalgamated
Association OF Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers Of America.
while it is true only a small
percentage of steel workers work
on this long shift, the tweIve-hour
day and the ssven-day week in
American industry must so" Sec
rotary Davis declared. Enlightened
employers all over the country are
seeing the wisdom of abolishing the
long shift. Recently the box-board
manufacturers, with an output sof
500. 000, 900 a year, and with $4,000
employees, took steps TO eliminate
the twelve-hour day. The industries
which seek to perpetuate the long
shift will ultimately find that Ii
will cost more to maintain 1t than
to reorganixe on q more humane
basis"
Advises Against Strike.
Secretary Davis urged the work
ers to be slow in using the strike
weapon. Compulsory arbitration,
he said. has proved a failure where
ever 1t has been tried. The remedy
for strikes and loclKouts, he de-
clared, does no. lie in governmental
interference between employer and
employe, but in direct negotiations
and mutual understanding.
'The tragedy OF every strike, :,
Davis said. is that ultimately it is
settled by negotiations or compro-
mise. After men have been idle for
months, after women and children
have been brought down to the last
crust OF bread, the representatives
of both sides get together around
the council table and reach settle
ment. Instead OF conference after
months of industrial battle, would
have counsel before the strike is
called.
II say to you out of a deep en-.
perience that 1t is better to gain
half a loaf by compromise than to
trust to the viccisitudes Of a long
drawn out industrial struggle.
Seldom, indeed, is the whole loaf
won in Ia strike. The best way to
increase wages is to cut waste and
increase production"
Need No Sympathy.
Secretary Davis said the steel
worker wants no sympathy and.
that he needs no seIf-appointed
guardians to pamper and pet him
and tuck him in bed at night. =
The Labor Secretary said he had
an abiding faith in the trade union
idea, and while it was fundamental
ly sound, 1t had its faults. mot
many men in industry today are
quarreling with the trade union
principle, but some OF the abuses
have stirred many men in the
management of industry against it, !"
he said.
The jurisdictional dispute is one
of the evils that has crept into
the trade union system and has
done more injury to the cause of
organized labor in the nUited States
than any other single thing, Davis
declared.
1.-THE spectacle Of workers en-
ploying the strike weapon against
their own fellows is a reflection
upon our whole civilization" Davis
said.

PLAN PUT ON FOOT
CHECK PISTOL SALES
Amendment VIII Be Asked To
Regulate Ownership of Fire
Arms in State

ATLANTA, Nov. II. - An
amendment designed to control rig
idly the sale and ownership of PTS
tolls in Georgia will be introduced
to the general tax act, when that
measure comes before the house for
fi&al consideration.
The "anti-pistol toting' clause
will be afforded by Representative
Bussey, of Crisp county, in the form
of an additional paragraph to the
section of the bill that provides for
occupation taxes upon dealers in
pistols, cartridges, dirks, bowie
knives and other weapons. The
present paragraph which has not
been changed in half dozen years
sets the tax at $35 for dealers in or
near towns or cities of 10000 or
less inhabitants, and $50 Tor deal
ers m or near cities of more than
10000 population.
Inc Bussey amendment adds an
additional paragraph, as follows.
provided further that every deal
er In pistols, or person or firm sell
ing pistols, shall be required to take
receipt from each purchaser to
whom pistol is sold, giving his
or her name and home and busi-
ness address, and said receipt shall
be filed with the sheriff of the
county, by whom it shall be kent
available at all time to inspection bv
law enforcement and administrative
officers, and NONCOMPLIANCE here
with shall be a misdemeanor."
1t is claimed by the author that
this law, IN conjunction with the
present one that requires all own
ers of pistols to register with the
ordinary of theiT county, and nav
a license, will afford an absolute
check upon owners of pistols in
Georgia. The present law has been
dlsregarded by the majority of
Georgi9ns, but with the double
check, from the purchaser and the
purveyor, through the two Offices
the sheriff and the ordinary-it is
believed that complete record Of
all owners of pistols can easily be
kept.
The proposed law is in accord
with the recommendation of prac-
ticaly every Superior court Judge in
the state. Jurists, time end again,
in charging the grand juries, have
pleaded for some sort of an anti
pistol toting law in Georgia, or at
least some means of keeping a rec
ord of all pistol owners.
Laws to this effect also have been
advocated in the editorial columns
of the vast majority of the news
papers of the state on frequent oc-
casions.

HOW DOCTORS
TREAT COLDS
AND THE FLU
First Step in Treatment Is CalO-
tabs the Purified and Refined
Calomel Tablets That Are
NauseaIess. Safe and Sure.

Doctors have found bv experience
that no medicine for colds. coughs,
sore throat and Influenza can be de-
pended upon for full effectiveness
until the livev is made thoroughly
active. That is why the first step
in tae treatment is the nausealess
calomel tablets called Calotabs,
which are free from the sickening
and weakening effects of the old
style calomel. Doctors also point
out the fact that an active liver may
go long way towards preventing
influenza and colds and is one of
the most important factors in en-
abling the patient to successfully
withstand an attack and ward off
pneumonia.
One or two Calotabs at bed time,
with swallow of water-that's all.
No salts, no nausea nor the slight
est interference with your eating,
pleasure or work. Next morning
your cold has vanished, your liver
is active, your system is purified,
and you are feeling fine, with
hearty appetite for breakfast. Gen.
uine CaTotabs are sold only in orig
inal sealed packages, price thirty
five cents for the large, family,
package; ten cents for the small,
vest-pocket, size. (adv)

is pointed out, is big inspiration

cause Southern business men have

ton, development, financing and

IF yous gre a Southerner, invest
your money at home" is the adj
wise of Forrest Adair, Sr., Atlanta
business man and capitalist, and
other leading Georgians who have
discussed the subject for the COR
respondent Of this news service.
1t is shown that Northern money
is coming South in hundreds of
millions of dollars. The Southern
er, Mr.. Adair says, has proved his
ability to handle invested money
SO that it is safe and pays high
dividends. Not only that, he adds,
when one invests at home, his
southern home, he helps to develop
Dixie Land, increases the value Of
the property and brings greater
advantages to ones neighbors and
himself.
The investments which Souther-
ners are now making in new build
ings throughout the South has
reached enormous preparations, ac-
cording to Mr.. Adair. Capital is
raised by the sale of bonds-a
first mortgage on property, and
are purchased by investors in de-
nominations as small as hundred
dollars. Profits usually net the
investor from Is to 60 ner cent
on his property, with always a
guarantee of at least 7 per cent,
which is higher rate than cam be
obtained from the general run of
bonds.
'The South IS building and build
ing rapidly and the buildings con-
structed are of the finest type.
The capital is raised among the
investors of the South which is a
matter that calls for congratula-
tlon among ourselves"

Here is stuff to inspire Southern

1t is the drama if Southern Wis

1t relates that although twenty
years ago there was practically no
cotton manufacturing outside of
New England and New England
dominated the whole business TO-
day millions of dollars are being
spent in the South developing the
textile business with projects rang
