How Much is It Worth,
Compared With 80 Years Ago
Atlanta, February l.

Atlanta, FEBRUARY l.
If John L. Sulllvan's autograph is
worth rs cents and Eliot of Har-
wards autograph is>worth SO cents
how much is an autograph of Wood
row Wilson worth, which was signed
thirty years ago? If you puzzle out
the answer, you can send the result
to the clerk of the Fulton county SUI
perior court, who has just unearthed
an old document-Woodrow Will
sons application and license to prac-
tice law in Atlanta, dated Oct. 18th,
1882.
1t is an interesting additional fact
that the license was signed by Geo
Hillyer, now state railroad commits
sioner, but then judge of the Fulton
superior court. The certificate tes-
titles that Woodrow Wilson, having
been duly examined, as required by
law, is found to possess the requisite
learning and ability to practice IN
the state of Georgia.

Special to The Fitzgerald Enterprise.

Special to The Fitzgerald Enterprise.
ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 31.-As the IN
vestiagation of the Auit Committee
nears its completion, it is more and
more apparent that only one crltl-
c,sm will be offered and that will
deal more with the system than
with the individual.
That there will be radical changes
in the appointment and direction of
oil and fertilizer inspectors is assur-
ed, but the problem confronting the
committee is to find a working basis
for a change, which will really bring
about the reforms that everyone
admits is desirable.
Commissioner Hudson, while
frankly admitting that the system
is in need of change, is no more
prepared than any member OF the
investigating committee to suggest
working plan for bringing about
the needed improvement. 1t is a
problem that the committee IND
difficult to solve.
One fact has been already i'm
pressed upon the committee during
the investigation and that is the alb
solute frankness Of every witness
called. from Colonel Hudson on
down. No one has attempted to
evade a query or conceal any fact,
1t is usually easy to tell when a wit
ness is not giving all the facts, and
the committee has repeatedly refer
red to the absence of any effort at
concealment.
That the financial affairs of the
department are above reproach has
been established beyond peradven-
ture. That Commissioner Hudson is
more a victim of the system than a
juggler of that system has also been
demonstrated.
The committee will complete its
work this week. A tremendous
amount of detailed information has
been examined by it, and it is prob
able that a more definite policy for
the future will be, worked out be-
fore the investigation is completed.

be started. These and many other
subjects will be discussed by the
greatest experts in sanitation and
public health in the world.
While the dates of the congress
itself are from September 23d to
18th, the exhibition will open early
in September and will continue I'M
til after the congress.

Congress Will Discuss
Health and Sanitation
Washington. February 1.

w
Washington will become the mec-
ca for sanitarians from all parts OF
the world when the fifteenth Inter-
national congress on hygiene and
Demography meets here in Septem-
Der. Already assurances have been
received by DR.. John S. Fulton, sec
retary-general of the congress, that
representatives from twenty-four
foreign countries and from practi-
cally every state and territory in the
United States will be present.
Among the states which have not
signifed their official intention OF
being present are New York, Mas
sachusetts, Pennsylvania and Ohio,
Although invitations were sent to
the governors of these and all other
states eleven months ago blythe de-
partment of state at the request OF
President Taft, none of them have as
vet taken any official action in the
matter.
For the first time in it's history of
fifty years, the congress will be held
on American soil. Arrangements
for the preliminary work have been
made under the direct authorization
of President Taft, who is honorary
president of the congress, and with
the active cooperation OF the state
department. Huntington Wilson,
first assistant secretary of state, is
chairman of the committee of Or
sanitation. DR.. Henry P. Walcott is
president of the congress.
In connection with the congress
and in buildings especially erected
for it in Potomac Park, the greatest
exhibit on public health ever shown
i'm America will be held, which Will
be composed of eleven groups, will
seek to show what America has
done in the prevention of disease
and the promotion of health. DR..
Joseph W. Schereschewsky OF the
United States Public Health and
AAFine Hospital Service will be in
charge of the exhibition.
During the congress every effort
will be made by the American COM
mittee to show the foreign delegates
how the United States has made
possible the construction of the Pam
anna Canal by establishing sanitary
working conditions and to assure
them that after the canal is opened
there will be no danger from the
spread of disease from that quarter.
A plan for securing uniform and
comparable international vital sta
tistics in which the United States is
greatly lacking will also be present

A BRIDES
SLIPPERS.

One of the most we'll loved gifts of
recent bride was the pair Of slend-
er white slippers that completed her
bridal outfit The slippers themselves
were of pure white satin but the
vamp was entirely covered with lace,
crocheted in baby Irish pattern of
twisted white silk, instead Of thread.
The shoemaker had cut for the lace
maker the exact shape. and the effect
was charming. The pivot ground had
on 1t only some very tiny solid figures
here and there. besides the silken rose
in the middle of the front; but the
place of the buckle was taken by
much larger rose of many rows of
petals. The result was really unique
and the pretty trifies will be kept with
family heirlooms. to be handed down
to future generations.
The same idea could have been util-
lied for handsome lace of any sort,
but care must be taken to have the
work as smoothly even as possible and
to allow sufficient plain ground
around the edges to permit of their
being made up without too much
trouble for the shoemaker.
