Claimed That Automobiles Spread tuberculosis

4 CITING as agents in the spread of
n tuberculosis, motor cars and high
powered automobiles are spreading
disease and death in the Philippines.
according to a report in the quarterly
review Of the bureau of public works
of the islands. Thfs is due to the
great clouds Of dust raised by the
rapidly moving vehicles. The dust
finds its way into the houses, which
are built close on the edges Of the
narrow streets, and the high mortal
ity among the F1lipinos from tuber-
culosis Is attributed In large measure
to it.

DEAN OF FRENCH JOURNALISTS QUITS

Henri Rochefort, veteran polemist
and dean Of French Journalists, has
laid aside his pen forever.
He is almost eighty-two years old,
has been in journalistic harness for
half a century, and until the present
indispositipn has not missed writing
an article every day for more than
forty years. Even since his eyes be-
gan to fell him, only once has he
missed debating his daily article.
And new the doughty old fighter
takes whist he believes to be only a
temporary rest at the imperative or
der of his physicians. The paper for
which he has written 80 many pal
pitating stticles announces that no
one replaces him. 1t says in effect
what Jefferson replied when the
French foreign minister welcomed
him with the remark: You replace
Dr. Franklin" NO." replied the au-
thor Of Jsnersonian simplicity: mo
one can replace DR.. Franklin;
merely succeed him." As long as a

today, and that was up a tree!
You see" continued the executive.
I'VE have about 40 pecan trees on our

And then the governor displayed a

pecans as ever graced a fruit stand at
Christmas time, and said there were
plenty more Where they came from.
The governor, as an experiment, set
out some 40 pecan trees on his farm
near Marietta about ten years ago, and
the experiment has proved to be a great
success.

He knows that the game is for one

Mr. Hudson was reared on a farm,
and only took up politics as side line
once upon time. albeit he has man =

Nowadays, however. Hudson's mind
turns back to his first love, and in

Talking recently in Savannah for

he said:
IF the people of Georgia would
devote more attention to raising
the $3.50. 100000 worth of farm
products they send outside Of the
