I'm going to give you all this af-
ternoon in which to write an essay
upon motor cars. You can say what
ever you like, and treat the subject
just as you please. Write 25O words;
and mind the grammar"
This subject delighted the soul of
eight-year-old Aminta. OF obtain
ing full marks she was confident. for
had she not only the day before been
for motor drive in her own fathers
auto? So she wrote this:
My father has a motor car.
While going up the hill the other
day the motor car busted. I think
this is about 80 words. The other
zoo are what father said while re-
pairing the car"

NOW THE "LAzY" DISEASE,
KILLS MORE PEOPLE IN GEOR-
GIA THAN TYPHOID FEVER
The Doctor Now Treats 1t, and the
Old Remedy of a Slipper or
Stnan Is Nnf Cnrnnct Ono

.OIu remedy OF slipper or a
Strap Is Not Correct One.
From time immemorial lazy people
have been execrated. Formerly it
was the custom to doctor laziness
with slipper, strap or a club.
But modern science has taught us
better. We now know that the nor
NAL man is not deficient in physical
energy. The human species that is
unatrOphied Of age likes to be hust-
ling. When a man is lazy" the pre-
sumption is that he is suffering from
a disease that has only lately been
isolated and catalogued, though it
has probably given trouble from
time beyond which the memory of
man reckoneth not to the contrary.
One DR.. Harris of Atlanta, secre-
tary of the Georgia State Board of
Health, has recently made public
some important observations and con-
illusions relative to the lazy dis
ease" in Georgia and its effects and
cost. The disease is caused by the
hook worm for which the scient-
lists have another name that dOesn't
mean anything more to the lay read
er. The hook worm" like many
others germs that have proved to be
so bOthersOme, is a product of unsan-
itary conditions. 1t cannot exist
where cleanliness of persons and
premises is the order, but it does and
will exist when and where conditions
jare unsanitary and the temperature
is warm. 1t seems the "hOOk worm"
is not fond of a cold climate, but
least of all is it fond of soap and
water and good drainage.
DR.. Harris says there are tens of
thousands of sufferers from the
hook worm in Georgia, and that
the worm causes hundreds of deaths
annually. We gather from what he
says that the hook worm disease" is
more formidable than typhoid, and
that yellow fever does not do nearly
so much damage. The public fears
yellow fever more, because it Oper-
ates in more sensational way, but
the quiet hook worm" numbers by
far the most victims.
We have organized war in the
country against yellow fever, CON
sumption, typhoid, measles. small
box, sCarletina and other ailments.
but as yet the more important hook
worm has not received our attention.
Is it not time that something were
being done to get rid of this enemy
Of the race?

TO ESCAPE AUTOS BY FLYING.
A Unique Request in the Will of a
New JERSEY Man.

new Jersey wan.
Congressman James Hamill of Jer-
sey City, N. j., has in his possession,
and will offer for probate shortly,
the will of Jeremiah Carrihanne, who
died two weeks ago at the age Of
60. He had no relatives and no es-
tate except an insurance policy of
$500. Out of this he provides that
his funeral expenses be paid. Then
the VIII, which he drew himself, goes
on to say:
Knowing from bitter experience
what it means to be crippled from
rheumatism and be forced to flee
from the path of automobiles and
such, | hereby bestow what is left
of the insurance money on some one
who is trying to perfect an airship,
so that there will ultimately be less
running about the streets and more
flying through the air. l hereby ap-
point my executor as the man who
will decide who is to get the money"
The executor named is Edward r.
Doyle. Mr.. Hamill says that Carl
hanne's aversion to automobiles was
due to the fact that he twice narrow
ly escaped being run down by reck-
less chauffeurs.

Sl3, 900, 900 FOR PIPE LINE
STANDARD OIL co. WILL BUILD
NEW ONE 800 MILES LONG.
Will Connect Robinson, ILL.,, With
Coal Grove, Penn. Work Has
Already Been Begun.


Not long ago the Standard Oil
Company planned to make needed
improvements and extensions while
material and labor were cheaper be-
cause of the business depression. 1t
is now announced that work has been
started on a 12-inch pipe line to con-
meet Robinson, H., with Coal Grove
in the Bradford oil field of Pennsyl-
vania.
The right of way for the line has
been secured and WORK mas COM
menced at each end, the intention be-
ing to make all possible speed in
completing the contract. The esti-
mated cost for ditching and laying
pipe alone is $6,00O,O0O. In addi-
ton the price of pipe, $6,O0O,OOO.
and the material and labor for pump
ing stations, $1,000,000, are to be
counted into the cost of the improve
ment, making a total of $13,0O0,0OO.
The Standard will make the pumps
in its own shops. It will be neces-
sary to have station every 25 miles
in billy country, but they will be
farther apart in the level country of
Illinois, Indiana and the western sec
ton of Ohio.
The Standard recently added large
ly to its production in Illinois, and
it was proposed to create the largest
lOng-distance line ever laid to carry
oil to the seaboard. Oil is now being
piped from that section through
eight-inch lines, but it is believed
it will be economy to handle the in
creasing production through a larger
line
According to the report the new
line will be not less than 500 miles
long, and will be built with a view
to finding the shortest distance be-
tween the two points rather than 60
ing out of the way to take on the
production of some other field. tt
will be direct connection, or as
near direct as it will be possible for
the engineers to find a route.
