learned from members of the Way

celebration are practically complet-

The decoration of business houses

is an evidence of the elaborate
plans made by the local Shrine Club.
The decorating was begun Tuesday
afternoon, and the artists in charge
of this work promise that the en-

its sanctity to the hackers of that

In this case it is the followers of
McAdoo who propose to force the
fight to set aside the two-thirds re-

McAdoo himself is said to oppose
the move, feeling that it is unwise
to advance his position at the exz

Also, being among the most
optimistic of men, he is confident
he will be able eventually, though

BOBBED HAIR WAVE HITS

ATLANTA, Map 30.-A bobbed
hair "wave" is sweeping over the
staid and sedate old State Capitol
building and it bids fair to becon re
a permanent wave, judging from the
manner in which the girl employees
in the ancient structure are throw
ing themselves upon the mercies OF
the beauty parlors. More than half
a dozen heads were "bobbed" in one
day the current week and the short
hair crowd is now largely in the
majority.
AS conservatism is the slogan
among the office holders after they
once win a State House job, this
conservatism is handed down to the
employees, hence "bobbed" hair has
had rather hard time breaking
into popularity at the Capitol. Bus.

to transfer the work of drafting

another. The Interstate Commerce

He is vitality interested to learn
what has been done to secure his
safety.
During the year 1907 the manu-
facturers of explosives and the
Bureau of Explosives, organized by
the American Railway Association,
started an intensive cooperative
effort to secure safety in the trans
portation of explosives over the
railroads of the United States and
Canada Regulations governing
manufacture, packing. loading into
cars and handling while in transit,
were prepared. The two countries
were divided into districts and in
each a trained inspector was To-
Gated to promote enforcement of
the rules which were adopted and
promulgated by the railroad COM
panies.
Experience soon indicated that a
legal basis was necessary to uni

HUNTySA.
WASHINGTON G 1iTiiiiI1
ILETTER
by HARRY B. HUNT
ANEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, May 30.-The
Ku Klux Khan issue threatens to
make confusion more confused at
the Democratic National Conven-
ton.
Backers of Senator Oscar W.
Underwood of Alabama, the only
presidential candidate who has
taken flat-footed stand in opposi-
ton to the khan, announce their
intention of making a determined
fight to write into the Democratic
platform a specific and definite anti
khan plank.
The very threat of such procedure
is enough to cause chills and fever
in the delegations from states where
the khan is intrenched, and to pros
trate with acute ague all candidates
who have "pussy-foote'P on the
khan issue.
If the khan plank is actively agi-
tated, it may give the Fiery Gross
in this pears convention position
even SURPRISING that of Bryan's
famous "Cross of Gold" in $50.
As one outsider puts it, after
looking over the Underwood-A1
Smith delegations, it may become
contest of the Fiery Cross versus
the Holy Cross.
The threat of khan and anti
khan lineup at the convention also
opens interesting speculation as to
a possible coalition between the
Underwood-Smith forces.
Smith will have at the start some
400 votes, Underwood about 100.
Opposed to these will be McAdoo
with some 440. The remaining 150
odd will be scattering "favorite
son" votes for the dark-horse dele
cation.
Not until disintegration of some
one of the three major blocks be"
gins can any candidate be within
gun-shot Of nomination. And this
time is various set as from Mon.
day, June 30, to Friday, }ply A.
In addition to the probable battle
over an anti-klan, another fight that
will have to be settled before The
balloting on candidates begins will
be precipitated over the traditional
two-thirds rule.
This rule, under which a Demo-
cratic nominee must receive two
thirds of the total votes in the con
vention, instead of the bare majority
necessary for Republican
selection, was adopted originally on
the advice of Andrew Jackson. As
a Jacksonian policy il ,issA wors
