Would Reclaim zuder Zee.

A great project is again before the
people OF Holland-the draining of the
Zuder Zee The sea, which, as every
one knows, is at the north Of Holland
and covers an area of fifty thousand
hectares, hectare being practically
2k acres Just half century ago a
scheme to drain the southern portion
of the sea was first mooted and, al
though it received considerable support
the opposition was greater, but now an
association has been formed and bill
will be introduced into the chamber.
The promoters see that with an In
creased population means must be tax
en- to enlarge the country. and this
reclamation of the sea is suggested
as capable of accomplishment If the
sea is conquered there are several
lakes which can be dealt with later
Mundus.

ATLANTA DESIRES
 MORE AUTHORITY
Wants Law Enacted to Give Capital Police Jurisdiction
 Over Locker Clubs

Atlanta, March 30.--Atlanta proposes to demand of the legislature at its session this summer, some amendment to the locker club law under which it will be permitted not only to enforce the pay ment of a city license from these clubs but to exercise full police jurisdiction over them, at least to the extent of lim- iting their number and having some thing to say about their location.
 Three locker clubs are now operating in Atlanta without having paid the cus- tGmary license to the city. Council de- cided that IS locker clubs were enough for Atlanta and refused to grant licenses to any more; whereupon the three clubs in question started business on their own hook, and when the city made cases against them and fined them for violating the city ordinance, they carried it to the state courts, at the same time securing a temporary injunction restraining the city from interfering with their opera tions.
 The question has not been decided by the courts, but with such a doubt cast upon the city's right to control the clubs some of which are said to be no more than barrooms, the city will seek legisla- ton which will clear it up.
