COX'S STATEMENTS
 CALLED |NSOLENT

Cincinnati, March 15.-Because he deemed 1t to 'be in the interest of larger Justice and best for the orderly and de- corous administration of law in this com munity," Judge Frank Gooman of the court of common pleas today refused to hold George B. Cox, banker, politician and theatrical manager. for contempt of court.
 The decision was on a report by com mittee of three attorneys appointed to consider whether Cox had overstepped the bounds of propriety by caustic pub lished criticisms of the judge and grand jury following Cox's indictment for per- jury. Judge German agreed with the legal opinion of the minority of the com mittee, but he nevertheless folloYed the recommendations in the majority report and decided not to take action against the republican political leader.
 The decision was lengthy and couched in language that left no doubt as to the jurists personal belief in the matter Such terms as 'nsolent' and false were applied to the statements by Cox.
 This development, the closing of the states case, attains Jacob Baschang, first ef-.the men indicted in the graft in- quiry here, to go to trial, and an intima- ton from the prosecuting attorney that the grand jury has nearly completed its work so far as public affairs are con- cerned, marked today's progress of the campaign against corruption in politics and business.

Miss Van Studdford has what may be termed a ''serviceable'' voice, which inspires confidence. It is well trainJ and under excellent con trol
 The story of the opera is even more fanciful than such narratives usually are, part of the plot involving sup posed trip to the Mussumans heaven, where there are some amusing matri monal complications which are eventu- ally strengthened out to the satisfaction of all concerned. n

He was ably seconded in the funmaking by Maude Odell as Clarisse. The duer. There is Something About You That Appeals to Me- as sung by Mir Ptkin and Miss Odell was repeately encored. The air is catchy and the theme humorous one, while the comedy of Miss Odell and MT. Pitkin was highly diverting.

VIOLATIONS OF AUTO LAW ST|RS PEOPLE Public Aroused Over Fatal
 Accidents TO MAKE NEW LAWS Special Committee Prepares Stringent Regulations for Automobiles
 Which Will Be Submitted
 Atlanta Council
TO MAKE NEW LAWS

Atlanta, March 15.-(Special.) )-Numer- ous violations of the new state automo- bile law. coupled with frequent and sometimes fatal accidents, especially in the cities. are stirring public sentiment, according to all the indications, to point where there is soon going to be demand for both a better and more protective law. and for more strenuous enforce ment of it.
 In Atlanta this feeling has already stirred the city council to the fpoint of making more stringent regulations for the running of automobiles within the city limits: and a specialH committee has prepared a revision of the auto ordi- nances which will be submitted to coun- ell for it's acffon next Monday
 In addition 1t is proposed to put a copy of the new ordinance into the hands of every city policeman and to caution thenf that it must be enforced.
 Automobile owners are now registering with the secretary of state at the rate of about 100 a week, and he has to date issued 6625 numbers, although he has been informed by dealers that there are be- tween 5000 and 5000 cars operated in the state
 Only the other day a man walked into the office of Secretary Cook and said he had been operating an automobile for year, but had no number.
 Do you think I'll get in trouble?" he asked
 If the police had done their duty you certainly would have had trouble" MT. Cook replied
 "Give me a number quick said the man, planking down his $2. It is the duty of city and state of ficers to make cases against all automobil- ists who violate the state law, Secretary Cook says, and yet there has scarcely a case been made.
 Mir Cook says he has himself seen fre- quent violations of the law right here in Atlanta. Autos are run at night without headlights; numbers are put in the wrong place and cannot be seen at night i; autoists round curves and cross bridges without ever slackenng their speed, though the law says they must reduce to six miles an hour; cars are sold or ex- changed and the new owner fails to reg ister or procure a new number. Only the other day q horse was killed by automobile in South Georgia, and the number having been secured, in- quiry was made at the office of the sec ietary of state as to the owner of the car. The name in which the number stood was given and claim was made against the man for the loss of the hor~o.
 Why, I sold that car three months ago. he said.
 However, he gave the name of the party who had purchased it and the man re- I sponsibe for the accident was found. 1 It is stated number of amendments to l the law will be urged at the coming ses- l sion of the general assembly. and in ad- | dtion some measure will be asked to pro- vide for the laws better enforcement

There has been altogether too much mystery between physician and patient This cloak of mystery seclusiveness, su- periority and dignity has been used by many physicians to hide their ignorance We believe in frankness. We believe in telling our patients exactly what is wrong with thcsn and showing it to them and also in telling them what we can do. We do not believe we should act wise and mysterious.
 Why should a physician look wise and mysterious if he knows what Is the mat ter with the patient. If we are puzzled with a. case we tell our patient and keep on with the examination and investga- ton until we know our diagnosis is cor rect. Then when we tell patient we will do a certain thing we can and will do it. We are sorry to say that often frankness has caused us to lose patients. These people who do not like frankness are those who have been in hands of the wise, mysterious class of doctors.
 This class is becoming smaller. Peo- pie are reading and learning, and they insist on being told the truth and in hay ing things explained to them
