"MADAM BUTTERFLY"

There is lot of fun in fantastic photography, says Ivy Scott, one of the leading sopranos with the Aborn English Grand Opera Com pany, which comes to the Elks Thea ter tonight. When I was, a little girl ill Australia, my father bought me a camera, and I have been an enthusiast in this art ever since.
 They thought me rather perverse, however, for I took little interest in ordinary photography, but became quite an expert in taking freak pic- :ures.-fitting the head of one per- son on to the body of another; pro- ducing mirage by taking two diff ferent pictures on the same plate, etc. ....'sl "One stunt in particular I Temem- Der was great success There was dead tree standing beside a cot tage near our home, and its trunk and branches, entirely bereft of all foliage, looked very muck like the

In the second p cture, my gigantic scarecrow appeared to be leaning over with arms outstretched as if about to pick up the cottage and

 photographs were exhibited side by side, they won a. pr ze, at a camera exhibit in Melbourne.

That Occasional Chord.

There are chords in the human heart, strange, varying things, which are only struck by accident: which will remain mute and senseless to ap
 peals the most passionate and earnest, and respond at last to the slightest casual touch. In the most tnsensible or childish minds there is some train of reflection which art can seldom lead, or skill assist, but which will re. veal itself, as great truthR have done

Pastors Are Jealous.

The members of the committee claim
that In taking this stand the pastors
are following the wishes of a very LINZ
TIED few; that the great mass If the
people are demanding that the meet
ings be continued each year. and that
they demand Bob Jones as their re-
Vivalist. They declare Furthermore
that the three ministers are Jealous
because they were not made head and
front OF the movement when it started
They declare that the ministers are
also opposed to Jones. The committee
declares that IT has no intention Of
taking the matter out of the hands of
the church-appointed trustees. but has
simply Invited Jones because he was
the choice Of the congregations at the
recent Tabernacle meetings They have
already received 400 signatures to a

This showed to the proprietors that
this was the end of his money After

He was a good game sport. He
turned around, and in the drawl of a

The latest arrival spoke of it being

time in many years he said, his folks

the dealer to give him cash for all his
chips but $25.
He called Lou over-he knew him as
an expert stud poker player-and said.

P0|SON|NCANNED
PEACHES FROM
FORT VALLEY
Arsenic Solution Used in Late
Spraying Likely to Condemn
Much of Georgia Output.

The discovery by State Pure Food
Inspector Methvin of arsenate of lead.
a deadly poison, in noticeable quanti-
ties in peach pie stock and canned
peaches from the Fort Valley district
may lead to the condemnation of the
output of several of the largest cam
neries in the state.
While it is the opinion of the state
chemist that the poison lodged in the
peeling of the peaches as a result Of
late spraying is not of sufficient amount
to cause violent poisoning, he said to-
day that continual eating of the tine
tured canned product might have a
cumulative effect more or less serious.
Inspector Methvin said he had not
decided upon definite course of ac-
ton, but would hold up quantities Of
canned fruit in the peach district until
he could make a complete investiga-
ton. 1t was impossible, he said. to
grade the fruit until it had been canned
and for this reason a general condem-
nation would be unfair to many cam
neries.
Late spraying for worms and brown
rot, he asserted, was the reason for the
arsenate of lead. Peaches canned as
pie filler are put up with the skins on
and the poison lodges in the peeling.
Lee Worsham, state entomologist,
said today that peach trees should not
be sprayed with arsenic solution less
than so days before the ripening pc
riod, but the appearance of worms In
the Georgia orchards this year caused
many growers to spray their trees a
second time and much later than usual.
In the cans of pie stock examined by
the state chemists, showing definite
trace of arsenic, the fruit had discol-
ored. In many instances the peaches
had taken dark purple tinge.

themselves that the tabernacle COM

Something About "Squeaing,"
That is not the way of the "high-
class gambler" His way Of squealins
has more "fnesse" to it. He enjoys the
friendship or some one VINO Is taSing
care of his place. To this man he has
proved that he is man who in stormy
times like the present will stand the
acid test" and prove he is no "squeal-
er."
The hundred and one times that he
has "squealed" about opposition places
does not count. What he told was not
in the form of a "squeal." 1t was just
to have his friend know what was 60
ing on around him
The opposition place that has been
"squeaeld" on does not enjoy the mti-
mate acquaintance or friendship of so
big a man as the other fellow, so ne.
poor fellow. has got to DO his "squeal-
ing" in the crude way of the Houston

son or husband is losing all his wages
in So-and-So's gambling house.
If Uncle Sam knew the exact figures
as to how the postofffce is enriched an
nually by these letters, he would insist
that all "squealing" be done entirely
through the mails.
These are a few Of the ways: there

the fact that he was being made the
