Christmas Clubs A
Saving Stimulant

ATLANTA, Ga.,-Georgia banks
have distributed thousands of dollars
to persons who have saved their pen
MES throughout the year so that they
might have funds to spend during the
holidays. Throughout the whole coun-
try checks have been distributed to
those who put aside a portion of their
earnings.
The formation of these Christmas
saving clubs have done much to I'M
press upon the people the importance
of saving portion of their funds for
the coming of the day when they de-
sired to show their interest in others
by gifts at Christmas time said John
K. Ottley, president of the Fourth
National Bank of Atlanta, whose bank
distributed thousands of dollars to
savings depositors.
"The idea of thrift has been inn
planted by the clubs and they should
be the means of starting many people
upon the proper course" continued Mr.
Ottley. "Once a person has learned
the habit of thrift he will never allow
his pennies and dimes to escape from
his hands without requiring them tc
give an accounting. Money invested
wisely is not spent and if person car
prevent this small change from going
on Grant journeys the day will moi
come when he will call upon others tc
care for him III his old age.

new JERSEY COAST LINE
SINKING into THE SEA?
Scientists Say Disturbances on
Ocean Bottom Is Responsible.

New York.-Albhough only the fishes
are near enough to see just what ID
happening, great doings are reported
from the bottom Of the Atlantic ocean.
The ocean floor is being thrown up
into immense hills or mountains in
some places, while in other places 1t
Is being depressed into deep basins.
That accounts, In the opinion Of scien-
lists, for several earthquakes in mid
ocean, as reported by captains who re-
Gently crossed the Atlantic, for tremors
along the American coast and for the
gradual sinking Of the whole New Jer-
sey coast line.
Shocks felt along the Jersey coast
which recently caused scores of per-
sons to rush out of hotel rooms and
which kept the police in various towns
answering questions as to supposed
explosions were explained by Walcott
Day, director of the weather bureau
at Atlantic City, as being caused by
the sliding of the ocean bed.
His opinion is coneurred in by Dr..
Frederick w. Sohon, in charge Of the
seismic station in Fordham university.
1--WE do not know just what is occur
ring on the bottom of the Atlantic, but
obviously it is something important"
said Doctor Sohon. There is con-
tinuous adjustment. The heavy sides
of the earth are sinking where there
Is not sufficient resistance to retain
them. That accounts for the tremors
or jerks 1t is well known that the
Jersey coast is gradually sinking. How
many years it will take to submerge

DIR. Howard Meyerhoff, paleontolo-
gist of Columbia university, was in
clined to doubt that any unusual
changes were taking place in the for
nation of the Atlantic's bottom. He
said 1t was one part of the sub-ocean
world which had been pretty well set
tied.

plans announced here today by +.
Roger Miller, business manager of the
Macon, Georgia chamber of commerce
The Southern Exposition Association

will be the most elaborate exposition
ever undertaken by the combined south
according to Mr.. Miller.
William G. Shrine of Greenville, S.
C., has undertaken the organization
and management of the plan. Col. J.
Hyde Pratt, Chapel Hill, N. C. has
been named vice-president of the asso-
citation.
The secretary is Col. Holmes B
Springs of Greenville, S. C.
THE atmosphere of the Southern
Exposition will be distinctly Southern
Mr., Miller said here tonight. "The dec
orations have already been tentative
ly outlined and will be unique in the
city of New York. All of them will
be gathered in the South and shipped
and installed under the direction of a
Southern decorator. Music for the &C.
casion will be furnished by Southern
orchestras. One unique feature will be

CAPT. BURTON SMITH
VICTOR IN SWINDLE CASE

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan 10-New York
newspapers have given considerable
space to the recent trial of Arthur A.
Bowen, who in the summer of 1921
vHs arrested on charge of having
MINDED merchants through the en-
p1ovment of trick contracts" in con-
nection with a certain business direc-
tory. Capt. Smith, as Special Deputy
Attorney General, who is a former
Atlanta lawyer, appeared for the state
of New York.
Bowen had been arrested and his
person and premises searched and
papers found there were seized. He
was indicted for forgery and his coun-
sci moved that the court require the
return OF the papers seized. The gen.
eral trend of the cases had been in
favor of BoWen's contention and his
counsel, Wait and McNish, noted GRIM
inal lawyers of New York, expected a
ruling in their favor.
Capt. Smith took the bold position
as Atlanta lawyers have pointed out
that. the papers had in themselves no
santtity that the constitutional provi
sion forbidding illegal searches had no
relation to the constitutional provision
relating to self-incriminating evidence;
that when a man is legally arrested he
{ and his premises should be searched
\ and that it would be just as sound to
ask the return of bloody dagger used
10 commit murder as toask the return
of papers to commit forgery. Judge
Borst, New York jurist, sustained Cap
tain Smiths contention.
The defendant carried the case to
the Appellate Division of the SUI
preme Court of New York, where the
case was dismissed.
Capt. Smiths Atlanta friends and
members of the bar has congratulated
him on his legal victory.

Bridal Ship Reaches
II. s. in Record Time

New York.-AlthOugh she had the
most adverse weather conditions to
contend with, the Scandinavian-Amer-
lean liner Frederick VIII established
a speed record between Scandinavia
and the United States, her commander
said, when the vessel locked recently
at Pier II, Hoboken.
The ship, according to her COM
mander, Capt, Frederick Mechlenburg,
made the trip in nine days from
Christiania and ten days from Copen-
hagen. The voyage normally takes
from ten to eleven days.
Captain Mechlenburg said he had
gone without sleep many hours when
the ship ran into a gale. At times, he
said, the wind blew so miles an hour
and mountainous waves swept the
bridge. Among the 874 passengers
were 35 Danish and Norwegian "pic-
ture brides" Many of the prospective
husbands met them at the pier.
