TANNING THE HIDES SENT
HOME BY TEDDY
New Museum Building Is Turned Into
Tannery.

Washington. Aug. 25.-The largest
and most ornate exposition building
in the United States has been COM
pleted just in thine to receive the
unique trophies of the hunt gathered
by ex-President Roosevelt in Africa
and now about to be unpacked in this
city
This building of granite, with floor
space of approximately nine and one
half acres and costing $3,500,000, has
been erected by Congress for the Ma
tional Museum, and is today being
put in order for the proper exhibitions
of various objects that have been col
lected, chief in interest being the
Roosevelt trophies.
While no definite arrangement has
been decided upon, it is likely that
rooms on the first floor will be the
future home of the Roosevelt speci-
mems. Considerable time will be re-
quired to prepare these skins, which

al casks.
AS soon as the 80 pelts gathered
by Mr. Roosevelt are taken from the
casks they will be tanned as the best
process for their preservation for all
time"
Value is attached to duplicate speci-
mems for exchange purposes. The law
permits the Smithsonian to make eX-
changes for species it does not pos
sess. 1t is expected that every mu-
scum in the world will be anxious to
obtain at least one of the Roosevelt
trophies.
By means of these exchanges the
National Museum will be able to come
into possession of many new speci-
mems.

A MILE II A MILE.
BUT THEY DIFFER
Government Gives Length, in Feet, Of
the Various Kinds.

Washington, Aug. 25.-The naval
photographic office has issued a cir
cular which is a reply to numerous
requests as TO the difference in the
length of a sea, or nautical, mile, a
geographic mile and a statute mile,
This is the official information:
In the United States the sea, or
nautical, mile or knot used for the
measurement of distances in ocean
navigation, has length of 6080.27
feet; in France, Germany and Austria
the nautical, or sea, mile has a length
of 6,076.23 feet; in England the nau-
tical mile, corresponding to the 'Ad-
miralty knot, is $3.50 feet
The geographic mile, which is the
length of one minute of longitude of
the equator of the terrestrial spherOid,
is 6,0S715 feet long. The statute mile,
used principally in measurements on
land, is $3.50 feet

NEW AGENCY IN AMERICJS
WILL BE ESTABLISHED,
Georgia Automobile Exchange Will Be
Represented Here.

The automobile business in the
South is perhaps more on the increase
than any other line Of manufacturing
This is nowhere better eXempl.fied
than at Columbus, Ga, where the
Georgia Automobile Exchange is now
erecting modern garage and sales
room. The capital stock has been in
creased to $4,000, the stockholders
being Messrs. G. Gunby Jordan, Mar
shall Morton, d. A. Mcintyre and R.
c. Jordan.
This amount will give them capital
sufficiently large to carry numerous
makes of cars in stock, together with
extra parts and accessories of all
kinds
Their territory for the sale of cars,
including the celebrated Mitchell, will
include Lumpkin county, and they
state that during the coming season
they expect to send numerous models
of their makes through this territory,
driven by their travelling salesman,
who will use this means of transpor-
tation exclusively in canvassing their
territory for sales.
They also state that they soon ex-
pect to have their sales manager visit
Americus in order to establish an
agency here for the lines they handle,
as we'll as many other cities of mid
die Western Georgia, which they eX-
pect to supply from common dis
tributing point, Columbus. They will
handle some three or four makes of
cars and will, no doubt, begin thor
ough advertising campaign in this
section as soon as their agents are
appointed, which will be at no distant
date

PARADE OF AUTOS NOT
LARGE AS EXPECTED
Are Deferred By Business
TherefrOn

The outing planned by the Auto
Club yesterday, including a ten-mile
run out Lee street and thence to
Smithville, returning to Americus by
another route, was not as large as
ant cipated, though several joy riders
made the trip to Holly Springs at a
late hour. Many owners of cars
were prevented by business engage
ments from joining in the auto parade
The busy season is on in Americus
and many find it inconyenient to lay
aside duties for half day in order
to go automobile driving, as in the
dull summer season. Despite this fact
number of cars made the trip out to
Holly Springs in the early evening,
where a picnic LUNCHEON was served
and an hour spent pleasantly. Car
riding, while the popular sport and
recreation here, will not be INDUCED
in to such extent for a time. now
that the busy fall season is at hand,
and the young men are otherwise en-
gagged in stores, banks or Offices

BUILT HIM ANOTHER FACE
ERE QUITTING THE HOSPITAL
While New Scalp Turned Out New
Growth Hair.

Boston, Aug. 24.-Stephen Calabro,
25 years old, of Quincy, has been dis
charged from the Massachusetts Hos
pital literally with a new face and
scalp, following a series of operations
among the most remarkable in surg
ical history, extending over three
years, and done as a work of scientific
interest by DR.. Charles A. Porter, of
the Harvard Medical School.
Calabro, who was horribly burned
and thought to be disfigured for life in
a fireworks explosion in Weymouth
in 1905, submitted himself for treat
ment at the Massachusetts General
Hospital in March, 1906 His face,
neck, scalp and arms were mass of
what is known to the medical pro-
fessiOn as chelyoid tissue.
Today he left the hospital with a
new forehead, eyelids, new cheeks,
new nose, a new chin, a new neck
and finally, new head of hair, the re-
suit of three years treatment and un-
selfish devotion of Dr. Porter in the
cause of science.
Calabro took ether no less than 80
times. The operations consisted in
skin transportation and grating.
Much of the skin was taken from 9TH
er parts of Calabro's own body, but
his brother Thomas and other mem
bers of his family sacrificed portions
of skin to aid Calabro
One of the greatest difficulties met
with in the treatment was the making
of new head of hair. Nearly the en-
tire scalp had to be replaced, but this
was finally accomplished and now the
young man has a prolific crop of hair
as good as new, which comes we'll
down over his forehead
Calabro has returned to his broth
er's home in Quincy, where he has a
little farm. He intends, he says, to
raise fancy poultry for the market

COME TO AMFRICUS TO
STUDY ROAD BUILDING
Committee of Two COun-
ties Here Today.
Supt. OH Winslow Has
Many Spectators
Here.

Two delegations of citizens and off
cials of neighboring counties are in
Americus today for the purpose of in
specting the work in road building
progressing under the direction of
Superintendent d. II. WinslOW, gen
eral supervisor of the roads depart
ment of the national government at
Washington.
This fact, if nothing else, tends to
stress the deep and absorbing inter
est felt in good roads throughout
Southwest Georgia.
And it proves also that Sumter was
fortunate in thus securing the valu-
able services of Superintendent Wins
low, as to Sumter is accorded the dis
tinction of being the first county in
Georgia thus favored.
Other counties in this section are
alive to the Importance of the demon
stration being made here, and will
send committees to see it.
Supt. T. E. Barbre of the roads de-
partment of Stewart county came to
Americus yesterday to view the work
being done here by the government
expert, and spent the afternoon out
where Supt Winslow is building the
half mile of good road according to
his ideas.
Stewart county is in this district,
and it is quite probable that Supt.
Winslow will extend his demonstra-
ton work there during his stay in
South Georgia.
1t was stated yesterday that a dele
cation of officials of Dougherty county
would come here today to talk with
Supt. Winslow regarding road build
ing methods, as that county, like
Sumter. is interested in the campaign
for good roads.
Supt, Winslow will spend ten days
in Americus engaged in the demon
stration work of expert road building
This work is being carried on near the
Josey place, two or three miles west
of the City and is attracting consider
able attention among our people.
Quite likely other counties will send
representatives here this week and
next to study Supt Winslow's meth
DDS of road building.
