NEW YORK.-A sealed skyscrap-
er of glass is New York's newest
building wonder. Paradoxical as this
may seem, though seventy-eight per
cent of this structure-in fact, all
except the steel skeletons to be
be glass, there will not be a single
window. 1t is being erected by a
leading publishing concern, and of
nearly $2,O0O,O0O to be expended
100000 will be for the power plant
alone. OF the many new features
which will make this truly a loft
building de luxe the most notable is
the abolition of windows and the
scientific ventilating system. Fresh
air, entering at the second floor, is
washed and dried, passing through a
shower chamber where a binding
downpour of artificial rain rids it Of
all impurities. Thus washed the air
is sucked through cooling chambers
into a huge fue Of two wedge-like
sections-one for carrying off the
foul air and the other for replacing
the same with the purified fresh air

NEW YORK TO HAVE A GLASS SKYSCRAPER

With ceilings unusually high this
will be the talIest twelve-stOry build
ing in the world. Fresh, cool spring
water will be piped to sanitary fount-
aims in each suite. Being window
less there will be no draughts, dust
or noises from without and quiet
from within will be promoted by rub
Der floors, electric carriers, noiseless
typewriters and dictaphones. Ink
for the presses will be piped to the
press rooms by air pressure, and
coal and ashes handled by gravity
and automatic machinery entirely.
The mail bag chute is also a fire es-
cape-a huge tube with three spirals
seven feet in diameter into which
one may jump and, presto, be down
to the street in a few seconds, Not
a silver of wood will be used in the
construction of the building or its
furniture. On the roof are to be a
sun parlor for the women and
smoking room for the men; also a
steam laundry, where will be washed
all uniform overalls as we'll as tow
els and other necessary linen.

OGDEN LANDS GOOD JOB. AP.
POINTED INCOME TAN AGENT
FOR STATE OF GEORGIA.

Observation-Disclosures G. Og-
den of Macon has been appointed in
come tax agent for the state Of Geor-
gia through the recommendation of
Senator Bacon. Mr.. Ogden's heroic
sacrifice of a quart of blood last year
saved the life of Mrs. Manly Curry,
daughter of Senator Bacon, and it
was predicted that when the Macon
postoff1ce became vacant Mr.. Ogden
would be appointed. Senator Bacon
placed frankly before officials of the
treasury department his obligation
to Mr.. Ogden and enlisted the hearty
support of Commissioner Osborne of
the internal revenue bureau.
The position is the best under the
new income tax law, paying So a
day, including Sundays, railroad fare
and SO a day allowance for subsist-
ence when travelling.
Howard c. Arnold of Greenville

BECAUSE PHONE BELL RINGS
AN IRATE MISSISSIPPLAN SUING
THE TELEPHONE COMPANY.
Did 1t Ever Happen to You? Sure!
It's Happened to Everybody, and
VIII Happen Again.

PURVIS, Miss.-T. E. Salter, an
attorney, has sued the Cumberland
Telephone Company for $4,000 be-
cause they rang his phone bell. It's
a good thing that the case will go
on trial before a claim court instead
of being voted on by biased tele-
phone subscribers.
Salter decided that his home was
complete when he added to its con-
veniences by having a handsome tel
ephone, nailed to the wall of his
front hall. He soon made the sad
discovery that all men make when
thew put in telephones-that they
always ring just at the wrong time.
Salter would sit down to the ia
BILE and prepare to carve the chicken
when the telephone bell would ring,
and he would have to answer it. If
he was reading a book the Jarrlng
notes of the insistent bell would in
terrupt him at the crisis in the he
ro's life. If he wanted to take a
nap after dinner the bell would see
that he was foiled. At all times OF
the night phone calls would rout him
out of bed.
All this was bad enough, but Sal
ter stood it. At ? o'clock one frosty
morning recently the merciless bell
of the phone dragged him shivering
out of his slumber
'Hello!" said salter savagely.
Hello" said the sleepy feminine
voice at the other end of the wire
SIS this 364?"
"No!" choked salter. This is
346."
Mere words failed him and he
could only smash up the offending
receiver. But after that he hled
suit. The general impression about
Purvis is that Salter is altogether TOO
mild in his demands.

ernor Slaton, had arranged matters
very effectively in order to avoid al
undue demonstrations The wedding
took place Wednesday afternoon al
the home of the bride in Lavoniat
Ca, who was Miss Harriet Mason,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. c. Ma
son. 1t had previously been an
nounced for early in January, but
they decided recently to have the
wedding during the Christmas holt
days. They then announced We'd
nesday that they would spend the
Christmas holidays at the home Of
Colonel Perry's parents in Mitchell
county. Here is where Colonel Per-
RVS careful planning came in.
He knew that If his friends were
informed as to the date on which he
and Mrs. Perry were to arrive in
Atlanta there would certainly be
somewhat of demonstration. So
he decided to steal a march on the
enemy, as it were, and, by brilliant
thanking movement, cut off their en-
tire cause for operations. He COM
with Manager Jack Let
ton of the Hotel Ansley, had rooms
reserved there and quietly slipped
into town Wednesday night while all
his friends were busily occupied with
their preparations for Christmas and
their family relations as Santa Claus
Not until after they were
safely locked in their rooms at the
hotel did a soul beyond Manager Let
ton and Publicity Manager Frank
Reynolds of the hotel know Of their
plans. And then it was too late for
the most exuberant of friends to dis
turb their peace"
Mr.. Perry met Miss Mason while
on a trip to Franklin county with
Governor Brown, to whom he was
also private secretary. Colenl Perry !
occupied a similar position with the /
late Congressman Griggs, and while |
a resident of Dawson made many !
friends who extend to him and his
bride hearty congratulations.

NOTORIOUS BANDIT IS DEAD
TECK DUNCAN BREATHES LAST
IN THE ALABAMA PEN.
During His Career He Was Guilty of
Black Grimes and Confessed to
Score of Murders.

MONTGOMERY, Ala.-Teck Dun
can, notorious Jefferson county
murderer, has served out his life
sentence. His multiplicity of black
crimes in Bloody Beat % of Jeffer-
son county have at last been expiat-
ed and Duncan never again will take
the life of a man. He is dead, He
breathed his last at the Wetumpka
walls on Thursday after an i'll
ness of two weeks with pneumonia.
Duncan was implicated in more
than a score of the most inhuman
murders in the criminal history of
Alabama. He was one of the lead
ers in the numerous assassinations
that occurred in the bloody beat OF
jefferson county. He was convicted
specifically for the murder of Felix
]. ElIard, an aged man, and he was
prosecuted by special counsel en-
pIoyed by the governor. His punish
ment was fixed at life Imprisonment,
ana he was committed to the We
tumpka walls on October ), 1912.
Became Penitent.
While at the walls Duncan became
penitent and gave Solicitor Hefiin OF
Jefferson county a full confession,
duplicating a number of Jefferson
county men in his crimes. He was
summoned before the Jefferson
county grand jury and told his SEN
sational story.
One of the results of this confes-
sion was the indictment of Deputy
Sheriff Henry Cole of Birmingham
for completely in the Ellard murder.
Rather than face the ordeal of a
trial Cole committed suicide in the
jail.

STORAGE TRUST A MYTH
NO NATIONWIDE MONOPOLY ON
FROZEN GOODS EXISTS IN
THE UITED STATES.
THE AMERICAN HEN AT FAULT

/
of Need Cause of High Price of
Eggs, Say Government Experts
Who Made Investigation.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. several
weeks of investigation over the en-
tire United States officials of the de-
partment of justice have reached the
conclusion that there is little ground
for belief that a nationwide cold
storage trust exists. Every United
States attorney in the country was
pressed into service for a quick sur
vey of the cold-storage field, and the
reports to Washington indicate that
while combines have been formed in
a few large cities there is no reason
to believe that there is a cold stor-
age trust controlling the price of
eggs and other products.
Sufficient evidence has been forth
coming, however, to show that in
some of the cities such combination
does exist, and the department has
already turned its attention to more
careful scrutiny of operations of cold
storage men there. It's next step will
be to trace the lines of interstate
combination between the dealers in
these large cities, for without con-
nection between them across state
lines the Sherman act would not be
available and the departments eff
fort to bring down the cost of living
by the breaking of monopoly or
two would hardly be successful.
The nationwide inquiry has tend
ed to put the department of justice
on the side of the department of ag-
riculture, placing much of the blame
for high egg an poultry prices not
on cold storage men, but on the hen.
According to reports so far at hand
cold storage men have suffered from
a marked lack of eggs and other
products.
United States attorneys have sent
word to Washington in many in
stances that cold storage dealers in
their territory have stocks on hand
far under stocks in previous years,
and that they see little prospect Of
relief unless the hens heed the APP
peal and get busy at once.

BACON REWARDS DAUGHTERS SAVIOR
STATE NEEDS FUNDS BADLY.
Debts Are Coming Due. Teachers
or Veterans May Have to Wait.

OF veterans way nave ~ h"lt'
The state will have to pay out a
total of 1925, 900 the first of January,
of which $475, 900 is the temporary
loan made by Governor Slaton last
fall to pay the school teachers $780,
600, to take UP outstanding bonds
and $145, 900 interest on the states
Indebtedness. The state will find it
self considerably embarrassed early
in the year, since only one million
has been paid the teachers for 1913
on the fund of two and a half mil
lion.
In addition to the million and
half due the teachers there is eleven
hundred thousand due for pensions,
which is usually paid the first of the
year. Governor SIaton is, therefore,
confronted by the question as to
whether payment shall be first made
to the teachers or the confederate
veterans. One or the other will have
to wait until April or May, it is said.

form of love"
Phaedras tells of a woman who loved
her husband so much that in comparison
father and mother seemed like strangers.
This wife was Alcestis, the daughter of
Pelius. She cheerfully laid down her life
for her husband, and the gods accorded
her the rare virtue of returning to earth
when she felt like it.
1t is quite possible these parents de-
served to seem like strangers to their
daughter. Parental affection is not infre-
Quently most selfish sentiment and one
which in no sense includes the highest
good for the children. To the majority
of fathers and mothers the inner life Of
their offspring is as unknown as the San
scrit language.
mere tie of blood cannot force us to
love what is unlovable
If Alcestis passed from the home where
the average domestic conditions exist
into the full effulgence of a real love life,
1t is no wonder her parents seemed
strangers to her. But if her new-found
happiness caused her tc ignore their feel
ings or to disregard properly courteous
and thoughtful code of conduct toward
them, then it was not the highest type
of love"
To love truly, absorbingly and passion
ately any one human being ought to make
us more considerate and tender toward
all humanity; just as the sunlight pene-
trates into dark recesses and warns and
blesses every leaf and blade of grass, so
great love should cast it's radiations
upon all who come within its aura
Our sympathies, our benevolence, our
affections should all be ueepened and
widened by the presence of the great
awakener in our hearts. A womans faith
in the man she loves should be firm and
patient yet it should not be blind.
1t should expect results 1t should not
be satisfied to see him degenerate into
self1shness, greediness or immortality and

it's viewpoint on what constitutes love
has changed. Where once woman was
supposed to be mans absolute chattel,
she is now regarded as his comrade, mate,
friend and equal; and comradeship rather

This question is propounded What
is the highest form of womans love for
MANI"
The question is at once simple and
complex. Not every woman is endowed
with the qualities which enable her to be
a loveress. Not every woman so en-
dowed meets the one capable of inspiring
her
Not every woman who loves deeply pos
sesses the spiritual and mental traits
which alone render that love a blessing
and a power for good to the recipient.
There are women whose love blights 2nd

The highest form of love in a woman
is that which ennobles not only the man
who receives it, but her who gives it.

belittled and cheapened by a spaniel-like
devotion TO a man who was unworthy of
the sentiment bestowed upon him. and

Unless a man improves under the in
