Black Able to Sit Up by Time
Officers Arrive From the
Police Station.

DR.. Archibald Smith, well known
Peachtree street physician, all but
choked the life out of a negro burglar

In his desperate hand to hand battle
DR.. Smith throttled the burly burglar.

Dr.. Smith, who lives at 3O1 P-eachtrse
street, was aroused about 4 O'Clock this
morning by a noise in his apartment.
He saw the shadowy form of burglar
going through his trousers. He leaped
from bed and set upon the sneak thief.
The pair rolled about the room. DR..
Smith got his fingers on the nesro'S
throat and slowly the black sank into
inconsistencies.
Other roomers in the house. hearing
the near riot. rushed in the room. They
bound the negro hand and foot with
heavy rope. Then they summoned the

breathing DR.. Smith became alarmed.

An interesting contribution to the
argument is that Of Superintendent
Slaton, Of the Atlanta schools. He
says:
1T is an absurd and offensive as
sumption that you can read a girls
character by her hair or eyes. You
can't even Judge some Atlanta girls by
their compilations. I am sure we have
equally capable blondes and brunettes in
our schools here. It's a foolish thing 20
try to establish rules Of that kind"

Yet. Miss Bezner, herself brunette,
insists that character reading is easy
with girls Of dark or light hair-dark or
light eyes.
She is willing to back her judgment
with types And while she is doing so.

find that her correspondence has gro Nn

to draw the comparison-and prove it.

Is the Atlanta brunette more con-

Why?
Miss Era Bezner. physical director OF

Brunettes We're steadier than blondes
Brunettes. as a rule, were more
"heady" than blondes.
Blondes were more frequently Of the

Blondes We're speculative and some

cIRcAssIAN WALNUT.
This Country, Probably the largest
 Consumer of This Cabinet Wood.

The United States. says the Depart ment of Agriculture, is probably the largest consumer of. Circassian wal nut. one of the worlds best known and most expensive cabinet woods.
 The high cost of CiFcassian walnut is due to the scarcity of the beautifully figured variety demanded for furniture and interior finish for the tree itself is more widely distributed than almost any other of commercial importance. The demand for the best wood how ever. has always outrun the supply. even in the 18th century when wars in sian walnut was used for gunstoeks that the supply was seriously depleted. Early in the nineteenth century the wood of 12,000 trees was used for this purpose alone. Single trees, containing choice burls fine bird's-eyed figures have sold for more than $5,00o.
 The tree Is native to the eastern slopes of the Caucasus and ranges east ward to the foothills of the Himalaya Mountains. from which it extends south ward to northern India and the noun fains Of upper Burma It has been widely planted in Europe and the Unit ed States, in this country under the name of English walnut The wood grown here, however, has not the aual- fttes demanded by the cabinet and fur nfture maker. Much of the Circassiari Ii walnut now used comes from the Black Sea and other parts of Asia
 According to circular just issued 6y the Fofeat Service the demand for CtfcasBian walnut has resulted in the substitution of other woods Our own red gum is often sold as circassian wal nut. and hutternut is alsa similar in general appearance to the less highly figured grades. Many good African Asian. and South American woods re- sefnble Cireassian walnut. though none possesses the magnificent figure deli cate tones and velvety texture of the latter. The circular discusses the sup ply and uses of Cireassian walnut, and gives the distinctive marks which the Gevernnaent's experts have discovered.
