ZERO.

The word "zero" is from the Span
ish, and means empty, hence moth
ing. 1t was first used on a Their
mometer in 1875 by Prussian mer-
chant named Fahrenheit. From a
boy Fahrenheit was a close observer
of nature, and when only nineteen
years old, by experimenting with
snow and salt, he discovered what he
believed to be the lowest degree of
temperature known in the world. He
called the degree "zero," and con-
structed a thermometer with scale
graduating up from zero to boiling
point, which he numbered 212, and
the freezing point 80, because, as he
thought, mercury contracted the
thirty-second of its volume on being
cooled down from the temperature
of freezing to zero.

NEWS CHANNELS
IN MONEY GRIP
IS CHARGED
Associated Press and United
Press Controlled by Trust,
Says Congressman.

WASHINGTON. March 11.-That
the money trust controls the Associated
Press, the United Press Association
and news channels flowing from the
organizations was the charge made oy
Representative Lafferty, of Oregon, in
a speech printed In The Congressional
Record today.
Pointing out that so men own 40 per
cent of the wealth of the country,
Lafferty said;
This money power owns the United
Press Association and the Western IN
ion Telegraph Company. and it controls
nearly all the great newspapers and
the channels of news. 1t is a power
which has made its mailed fist felt by
any public servant who deos not bow 20
its dictatorship"
'I.afferty said the public must be ed
ucated to learn to disregard the man
ufactured news which is sent ont
daily for their consumption and %

come oQIt fat footedly for progressive

Mr. Tindau stated that so soon as the
boys conduct was, in the opinion Of
the superintendent Of the home, good
he would be released 1t would prob
ably be within the next two months.
He asserted thai as matter Of fact
the home was crowded and the Off
Gals were, therefore. especially anxious
to dismiss the boys as soon as 1t was
thought safe.
TindaIl Statement.
Mr.. Tindall said:
The actual evidence in the case Of
Ollie Taylor, the boy who has been
under beneficial and well approved
training since his commitment to the
Fulton County Industrial Farm. is as
follows: Ollie was running the streets,
idIing and lettering and stealing small
edibles from groceries and wagons, and
was hopping on and off moving trains,
on his first appearance in court he
was put on probation by Recorder Nash
Broyles, under the direction and con
troll Of Probation Officer J. NJ Gloer,
and for a time he satisfied the prOba-
ton officer, but on temperance into
court at later day under new charges
Of running the streets and purlOining
articles Unfortunately, among which
was bottle of Coca Cola, Ollie Taylor
was committed to the industrial farm,
especially since he had already been
tried on probation, which had failed eff
fectually to reform him. and especially
since the father of Ollie Taylor com
planned at the time that he could not
do anything with his son.
"A fair Investigation of the truth,
therefore, will show that Ollie Taylor
is in the Industrial school not as pun
ishment because he stole a fve-cent
I,t - L, r.,
boon to himself, that, failing as he
was in the city to make something out
Of himself, he could, as long as neces-
sary, have the advantage of regular
training, regular habits, regular school
ing and regular work. He had failed
to make good at home as the father
said; he was. therefore, to have an
opportunity to make good under better
conditions 1t was then, not because Of
one theft that he was sent away 20
the industrial school, but because Of
the conditions which were making him
crooked and under which it was certain
he could never succeed.
Should Be Better.
And those conditions should be
changed beyond doubt before Ollie
Taylor is parOled Superintendent r.
A e. Means and the county board are
anxious to parole these expensive
wards of the county as fast as 1t can
be done without jeopardizing the in
terests of the very boys who are clam
orng for their old street freedom. But
the superintendent knows the condi-
lions in the life of Ollie Taylor bette"
than a writer on a newspaper can ever
know without making the same careful
investigation; and, loving those boys
as Mr.. Means does, always anxious to
establish them in society as good citi-
zens, he should be upheld in his great
work, If not upheld, he should certain
ly not be retarded in the development
of his child welfare movements by
broadcast references to his school as d
penal institution"

Nationwide Interest inTaylor Case
+.+ +.+
MisapprehenSion as to Sentence
*.+ +.*
Good Conduct VIII Gain Freedom

The case,of Ollie Taylor is attracting
nation VIDE interest. Letters are pour
ing into The Georgian office by every
mail protesting against further punish
ment Of this thirteen year old boy at
the industrial farm. Mayor Woodward
is receiving letters Of the same nature
from all over the country. These pro-
tests are largely based on misappre-
hension Of facts in the case
Briefly, the case Of Ollie Taylor Is
this: He was arrested when he was ten
years Of age for the larceny Of five
cent bottle of soda water He pleaded
guilty and was convicted. He was SEN
fenced to an indetermnate term Of
eleven years, to carry him up to the
period of u wears Of age. He was or
dered confined on the Industrial farm.
The case was appealed and finally
reached the state supreme court. The
court passed on the law. but not on
the facts and decided that the law
under which the boy was tried and
convicted was constitutional The su-
preme court did not touch upon the
merits Of the case or the sentence.
An Indeterminate sentence means
that the boy has been placed at the in
duslrial farm. and as soon as the super
intendent of the farm decides that the
boy is not incorrigioe he viii be set
free. This freedom may be given to
him tomorrow, next week. next month,
next year, or whenever the superintend-
ent Of the farm considers it advisable
10 do so. And If the superintendent Of
the farm does not consider It advisable
to free the boy, under the law he must
remain at the Industrial farm for eleven
years, or until he becomes 81 years of
age.
Case Not Novel
The case Of ollie Taylor is neither
novel nor unusual, for there are 204
other boys now at the Industrial farm
whose Grimes" were of about the same
enormity as Ollie Taylors and whose
sentence runs to approximately the
same length Of time as the sentence Of
the Taylor lad
The idea Of the indeterminate sem
tenCe is that youngsters who are in
corrigible may be held under the law
until they have learned to become bet
ter boys and that their freedom is a
matter entirely Of their own record as
to good behavior.
w. w. Tindall, chief probation Off
Ger for the Juvenile court, today issued
an explanation of the case. Of Ollie
Taylor agreeing with what has been
set forth. MI Tindall declared the
boy is not being punished. He is in a
house of correction, sent there after
thorough Investigation and for his ben
eft. according TO the probation officer.

Two Excellent
Spring Tonics

IN the Spring nearly every one
needs a tonic, either a purifying
tonic to cleanse the blood Of the
impurities which have accumulated
during the winter from heavy meat
diets, etc, or a general upbuilding
tonic to strengthen and prepare the
system to meet the severe heat Of
summer.
A Spring treatment of one or two
bottles is a simple preventive meas
ure, and perhaps will save serious
illness or breakdown under the
fatigue and exhaustion Of hot
weather.

What a Shame!
What a Shame!
. HICAGo'S council and mayor
have solemnly ordained that

- HICAG0'S council and mayor
have solemnly ordained that
no nude pictures" shall be
displayed in any art shop window or
elsewhere where they can be seen
from any public highway or in pub
lie places frequented by children,
or. needless to add, by grown people,
declares the st. Louis Post Dispatch.
The real offense, of course, is against
the pure minded grown-ups, who
have done the complaining. The
children have not complained; the
poor little things are too innocent
TO be really pure. Purity has to be
aged and well seasoned to be offend
ed at the nude and constantly on the
lookout for shocks.
What shame it is that human
beings have been born nude What
a shame that we were created with
a body, and a symmetrical one at
that! We ought to have consisted
of shapeless, nucleated mass of pro-
toplasm, like the simple amoeba,
which Is never put to bushes by its
idealized image in art windows. To
rake matters worse, the human be-
ing is not single-celled animal, like
the innocent rhizopod; but is ell
dowed with sex distinction. Sex is
not only unspcakable, but unthink-
able. We hardly dare describe our
selves in the generic terms of men
and women. 1t all SINNERS down to
this: that it is a crime to have been
born at all.
Having been born thus, willy nilly
nude, We have nobly tried to hide
the original crime by skinning other
animals of their coats. We have
skinned The sheep, the lamb, the bull
and the bear, and borrowed even the
camels hair for our own bare backs.
Clothes are our apology to each
other for our presence here on earth.

which 24.936 were railroad, 1856
street car and 434 steamboat and
steamship accidents. But the type of
accident to come second-that OF falls
is distinctly surprising, the total
being 1887, or more than is per
cent. Of these, S,222 were falls on
the pavement, and 1,946 falls from
chairs and ladders. Accidents having
to do with carriages, wagons and
horses come third with a total Of s.

1t is likewise interesting to note
that 209 of the accidents were caused

that here were 4,217 cases of fingers
crushed in various ways, 1853 burns
