Legislature VIII Figure In
The Background.

Atlanta, June IS. The coming
session of the Georgia legislature
will probably get less space on the
front pages of Geol gia's newspa-
pers than any session since limo
type machines were invented.
There is only one real political
spotlight in the United States.
The public can't look two ways at
once. At present it is focused on
Chicago, and nobody cares dern
even about the baseball scores I'M
til they can find out who is nomi-
mated. On June 26th, when the
Georgia legislature assemblies, the
spotlight will have shifted to Bal
timore, and will remain on Balti-
more tor the national democratic
convention during the early part
of the Georgia assembly.

Dictates Mail Then
WEEDS Stenographer

Atlanta, June 14.-After complet-
inc the dictation of the days mail
to his pretty stenographer, Miss
Emma May Billiard, j. B. Clute,
MANAGER of the United Mercantile
Company, said:
We'll, don't you think we could
marry right now instead of waiting?
I've got to take a long trip soon"
Miss Billiard blushed but demure-
ly replied that she thought it would
be all right. So a clerk went out
and got a license and another one
hunted up minister. The couple
were married in the managers office
in the Forsyth building.

Rational Plan For Vacation

Atlanta, June 15.-Believing that
a rational plan for vacation lies
rather in change of environment and
form of activity than in idleness,
the Brenau college has issued an
nouncement of Brenau summer
school to be conducted primarily in
the interest of teachers of music, ex-
preston, are and domestic science.
1t will begin June 9th, and va
riety Of courses will be offered
teachers, mothers, and young stu
dents, too.
The summer school faculty will
include Otto Pfefferkorn and Nile.
Maria CALI, who made such won
derful impression in Atlanta this
spring in concert.

To Pay Judges More
Bibb Representatives Plan
Increased Raise to $4,000

Macon, Georgia, June IT,
If a bill now being drafted by
Representatives Walter before
and Minter Wimberly, OF Bibb
county, and whicE will be intro
duced at the next session of the
general assembly, becomes a law
the superior court judges of Geor-
gia will in the future draw a salary
of SIS, 900 per year.
If this measure, which will APP
ply to all the judges of the superb
or courts throughout the state,
fails to pass the house of represent.
atlves, Messrs before and Vim.
berlv will then introduce another
bill, raising the salary of the Judge
of the Macon circuit from $3, 900
to S., 900 per wear.
At present the judges of the
superior courts of Fulton, Chat
ham and Richmond counties re-
ceive yearly salary of $4,000
each, while all other judges on the
superior court benches Of the state
draw only $1,000 per year. In
tt e event the first bill is voted
down, the Bibb legislators are con-
fdent that the second will pass, as
it only aims to place the judgeship
of the Macon circuit on an equal
salary basis with those of the other
city circuits of the state.

SlatOn Will Back
Board Of Health

Atlanta, Ga, June ,15.-In his
platform soon to be made public,
Hon. John NJ. Slaton, president of
the state senate and candidate for
governor. will take an advanced
stand for legislation which will con-
duce to health conditions in Geor-
gia and a consequent reduction of
the death rate
For years this has been a fixed
idea with Mr.. Slaton, and not only
was he one of the most active advo-
Gates of the establishment of the
state board of health, but he has
lost no opportunity to favor for it an
enlarged field of usefulness.
Two of his most recent public ad-
dresses have related to this subject,
and in each of them he dealt with
the problem of the conservation of
health, disclosing from state and
government figures, what may be
accomplished in the direction of
preventing diseases.
What other states ca do, Geor-
gia can d. he said, and we should
put ourselves vigorously to it with
out further delay. ! shall advocate
every possible good message looking
to the conservation of Georgia's
health; and, in fact, | know of moth
ing that should be allowed to have
precedence of the solution of this
all-important problem.
At the recent meeting of the GeOr-
gia Medical Society in Augusta, res
olutions of thanks to Mr.. Slaton
were passed in recognition of his
services. He has for years taken
the position that there could exist
no more constructive statesman
ship than the conservation of the
health and lives of the people with
the consequent regulation of pain
and suffering.

CHARM
From Own Skull WOfD ~

. New Britain, Con, Oct. 2S--Charlea
X. Hamilton, the aviator, is wearing a
bone watch charm made from his own
skull. Dangling from the bird mans
watch fob the ornament closely re.
sembles fraternal order token, which
is similarly worn, and the secret Of its
origin Is known to only a handful of
Hamilton's friends.
/ The piece of bone was taken from
the head of its present possessor as he
lay unconscious on the operating ta-
bic when two American surgeons ire.
panned his skull. The operation fol.
lowed Hainilton's flight and fall in
Texas several weeks ago.
Hamilton was shown the piece of his
removed skull as he lay in the hospital
and insisted that it was his personal
property. Il was restored to him and
he had had II mounted in gold and ad.
justed as q watch charm.
The memento Of his narrow escape
is about two inches in length and a
half inch thick. A silver splint has
been adjusted In It's place and Hamil-
ton said tonight that It's presence had

THE BOUNTY OF NATURE
Thanksgiving This Year Ought to Be
a Heartfelt Celebration
New York Times)

tNeW fOrk I1meSD
The Government crop report issued
yesterday, the last one before promise
becomes reality, establishes as next to
certainty that there Is no other year
to compare with this annus mirabilis.
There have been greater yields of
wheat and of corn and of cotton, but
those record yields did not come to.
gether as do the great yields of this
year. The only ft comparison with
this year Is year composed OF all
the various bests on record, and then
this year would run that year hard. so
even Is the excellence OF all agricultur.
al products. The Government promis.
es an excess over 5000, ,OOO, 900 bushels
Of corn, but the Government this year
has underestimated with each recur.
ring month, and the amount of the ex.
cess is an agreeable calculation. The
total wheat crop Is put at 100000 900
bushels, about 1OO,000,OOO above the
last year. The oats crop is an actual
record with an increase of almost 2OO,.
100000 bushels. The hay crop Is not
reported, but Is generous and the cot
ton crop daily creeps toward the rec
ord. Thanksgiving this year ought to
be heartfelt.
II Is worth remarking that we owe
these blessings more to nature than to
the farmers. They harvest 5000 900
fewer acres of wheat, an almost identi-
cal acreage OF oats and triiiing ad-
ditional breadth of corn. The secret
of this years plenty lies In the high
condition Of the harvest, which Is due
to the weather more than to the cul-
tivatOrs. II Is only fair TO them TO
say that they are always more or less
at the mercy of the elements and
that sometimes their msfortunes are
imputed to them for faults. The yield
per acre OF spring wheat Is almost
doubled and may be a record, but still
falls short OF what Is reaped where
the price Of the product Is higher and
the cost OF the labor is less. But that
this Is due to the season rather than
TO the farmers seems to be indicated
by the fact that the aggregate yield
Of wheat shows an increase per acre
of only about one third, or to Is bush.

WOMEN SMOKE CIGARS
Fair Sex Have Tired Of Cigarettes and
Demand Stronger Weed
Washington Post)

Cigar dealers in this city yesterday
confirmed the report from Kansas
City, Chicago and New York that so
ciety women are acquiring the habit
Of smoking cigars, and that the sale
of cigarettes is falling on. The wo-
men who are now purchasing cigars
are the same customers who formerly
called for cigarettes, they said. The
women have become so addicted to
the use of the weed" that cigarettes
no longer satisfy their cravings for
tobacco.
William J. Dempsey, chief clerk of
one of the most prominent retail firms
in Washington, said yesterday that
the women who purchase cigars at his
store are among the most prominent in
Washington,
During my nve-years stay In the
capital city,, said Mr.. Dempsey. II
have seen the female taste for nicotine
grow from the weakest cigarette to the
strongest and blacklist cigar. ] have
in mind one woman who has been buy
ing tobacco ever since the cigarette
habit first became prevalent among w0-
men. At that time she used to pur.
chase one sack of ladies' sigarettes a
week, later she would drop In twice u
week, and the habit grew with time.
Before tho end Of the year she pur-
chased 25 boxes within single week.
These cigarettes now do not apparent.
ly satisfy her tastes.
'"This Is only one instance. and !
am sure that we number among our
customers as many as 25 women that
smoke cigars continually. They have
become expert In the selection Of the
tobacco. and we have to open as many
as 10 boxes before they are able to
select the exact shade that suits their
taste"
sevral other dealers In the city
commented upon the gradual change
from cigarettes to cigars by the weak
or sex. A leading Ninth.street dealer
has been receiving several orders from
prominent women over the telephone,
and has been instructed to deliver the
cigars at only certain times OF the
day, generally after 3 o'clock In the
morning and before 3 In the afternoon,
thus arouslng the suspicion that they
did not want their husbands to know
of their purchases.
At the hotel cigar stands the habit
seems to have increased. This Is what
a dealer Of one OF the leading hotels
has to say on the subject:
why, women have been smoking ci'
gars In Washington for a long time.
get 80 many orders from women for
cigars that could not tell you or,
hand the exact amount. They don't ask
for any light, small cigar, either"
