ON PROTEST AGAINST
MOVING LEES BODY

A resolution protesting against the
proposed removal of the body of Cen
eral Henry Lee, father of Robert F
Lee, from Georgia to Virginia will be
introduced during the present session
of the Georgia legislature
Several months ago a resolution was
introduced and passed in the Virginia
legislature which called for an appro-
priation of $500 to defray the expenses
of removing the body from Cumberland
island, where the Revolutionary hero
died, to the old Lee burial ground at
Lexington, Va. The Georgia Daughters

state meeting a Marietta recently. pro-
tested against the proposed removal.
claiming that since Light Horse Har-
ry' had been buried so long on Georgia
soil they thought it would be an act Of
dissertation to disturb the body.
At the time of his death, in 1916
General Lee was on a visit to his life
long friend, General Nathaniel Greene,
at the Greene plantation at Dunge-
ness, Cumberland island. He had Just
returned from the West Indies, where
he had gone for his health, which had
been failing for several years. After
remaining with General Greene for sew
epal months, he decided to return to
his native state of Virginia. feeling
much improved Several days before
his departure, however, he was sud
denly stricken and every medical atten-
tion science placed within the reach of
mankind at that time was afforded the
general, but all proved of no avail and
on the evening of March %. 1916, he
passed to his rest

What Can Be Done With Idle Boys?
MOTHERS FACE. PROBLEM

What can we do with our boys in
vacation time? Running wild on the
streets isn't good for them, and they
must be kept interested in something.
Why doesn't the city or some individ-
ual start a class and teach the boys
how to use simple tools?"
These were the questions Mrs E. E.
Smith, 20 St Charles avenue, asked of
The Georgian today, and she would

Perhaps other mothers in Atlanta are

through The Georgian, how to keep
the youngsters busy all summer.

and they'd take a real interest in that
work. After the class they could come
home and build chicken coops and
rough furniture and all such things,
and they'd be far happier than if they
were in the streets with bad compan-

better citizens for the future, too.
IF the city will not do it, perhaps
some of the teachers at Georgia Tech
might open a class. for they have all

mothers who would be glad to pay
reasonable sums for such instruction

body will work out the problem and
organize such a class"
Now. that's Mrs. Smiths problem.
Perhaps other mothers who have read
this have problems of their own in va

who have solved the puzzle of what to
do with the children in summer. The
Georgian will be glad to have letter
from all of them, and it may be that
out of some woman's experiences 9TH
ers may find their questions answered.

BOND ISSUE FOR
STREET REPAIR
WORK URGED
Council Would Ask Power to
Raise 100000 for I'm
proving Thoroughfares.

Criticism of the condition of At
lantas streets has aroused members of
council to determination to resort TO
drastic measures for relief Today a
proposed 100000 bond issue is urged
by one element, while others want a
thorough investigation of the construe-
ton department and Of general condi-
tions of streets before taking any ac-
ton.
A special committee voted yesterday
to recommend to council that a charter
amendment be obtained giving council
the authority to call a bond issue cleo
ton early next year.
Mayor VIM made a personal inspec-
ton of many streets yesterday in COM
pany with engineers of the construc-
ton department He then held a con-
ference with officials representing the
different viewpoints of the situation.
Mayor Tries to Heal Breach
The mayor said some of the criti-
cisms made conditions appear worse
than they are. But he has taken a
hand and advised that all the asphalt
paving inc the city, most of which is
dotted with holes, be repaired at once.
1t is expected that his investigation
will go further and that later he will
have more definite comments to make.
He paid special attention to the lay
ing of the sewer through the North
avenue park and the cutting of the
trees in Baker street, work that
brought down bitter criticism on the
construction department from J. o,
Cochran, president of the park board,
W. A. Hansel, acting chief Of construc-
ton Harvey Hatcher. chairman of the
council streets committee; Mr.. Coch-
ran and Dan Carey, general manage
of parks, were called into the confer
ence, the special object of which, it
seems, was to bring about a better
spirit of CO. operation between the park
and construction departments.
The proposal for a bond issue for
streets already indicates a greater es-
arrangement of the two. Friends OF
parks have been planning for a 50 600
600 bond issue for parks. and they say
their bond issue should have first cali
over the new proposal.
Haverty Urges Issue.
Clarence Haverty, chairman of the
special committee recommending the
bond issue for streets. said today:
The committee believes it is time to
have a big bond issue for much needed
street Improvements all over the city.
If we wait to do this work for funds
from the city's normal revenue it will
be years and years. We will urge 10
council that the people be allowed to
vote on such bond issue. If they
vote it down they themselves take the
responsibility for the slow progress for
which council is criticised"
The other members present were
Harvey Hatcher, A. d. Thomson. A. II.
NanDyke and ]. B. Everett They urge
that council request the state legisia
ture for charter amendment giving
authority for bond issue election.

F ANCEE''S BOAST
TRAPS FUGITIVE

Charles L. Sossoman, former At
lantan, is behind the bars in Detroit
today, awaiting extradition to Florida,
simply because his f1ancee-a pretty
young saleswoman in a Jacksonville
department store-was unaware that
she was being Swallowed by Pinker-
ton detective. and careiessly remarked
to a girl friend:
r'Charlie's in Detroit-they'n never
find him"
The young womans lips curled in a
smile of confidence and assurance. It
was this smile and accompanying
words which caused the downfall Of
her sweetheart, and possibly will inter
rupt a marriage scheduled for August.
No sooner had the words been said
than neatly dressed young stranger,
who stood just across the counter med :
itativelv putting on a cigarette, turned,
and walked slowly from the store. In a
few minutes the Atlanta office of the
Pinkerton detective agency had re-
ceived a wire from this same stranger
and the wires to Detroit soon were
working. Today the Atlanta office re-
ceived a wire that Sossoman had been
arrested-also that he will fight extra
dition.
Had a Marriage License.
Sossoman, it is understood, already
has marriage license and had planned
to marry his sweetheart in August. Ac-
cording to the information, the girl,
whose home is in Canada, was to join
her fiance in Detroit, where the mar
riage would take place From there
the couple was to proceed to the brides
home across the border. where the
danger of arrest would be lessened.
The Atlanta Pinkerton men had been
after Sossoman for some time for an
alleged sWindle, but he had carefully
eluded his pursuers Learning the
identity of the Jacksonville sweetheart,
the sleuths laid siege there. The de
tectives felt confident the girl inno-
Gently would betray her fance.
Sossoman is wanted on the charge
of forging a telegram and a draft on a
Deland (Fla) bank on May 80. He is
said to have forged the name of rela-
tive, Charles l.. Lawson. In Detroit he
was going under the name of Harry S.
Ormond, of Atlanta.

out and the prisoner will be taken to

and many are underclothed- is an
easy matter to do either and both are
harmful Hence, the mother should
give consistent thought to the matter of
baby's dress.
In the heated season it is essential
that baby be clothed in such manner
that it win not suffer from heat, and at
the same time be amply protected from
