Money Is Best of Gifts
BY DOROTHY DIX.

a BOUT that Christmas gift!
n Unless you are making a
present to some one who is
very rich, the one best bet for an
acceptable Christmas present is
money. Don't be afraid Of any
body being offended by a check,
or even few dimes, They won't,
and every one of us could use
little money so handily and get
something we secretly pine for
and can't afford, If only you
would send us a little money in
stead OF the fool thing you do
send.
Say, beloved, didn't you ever on
a Christmas morning sit down
among the junk that your kind
friends and family have bestowed
upon you, and figure out what it
all cost, and wish that you had
all of that money to put into
something that you are crazy
for. something that would do you
some good, and that you would
rejoice in as long as you lived?
There were SHY gift books.
with padded backs and fine pic
lures that cost $40 or S15, and
that mob )dy ever looks at a sec
ond time; there were lamps that
cost S15 or $40, when your home
Is flooded with electric lights;
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-11-13

there were table centers that cost
IS, and scarfs that cost IS and
81, and imitation Japanese vases
that cost 81 and 81. and SO on
enough money thrown away in
things that were absolutely use
less to you to have bought some
thing worth while, if only you
could have pooled it all, and if
people had thought it proper to
have sent you 70 cents or $3.50
or whatever their gift cost.
AS for children, always give
money if you want to make the
little folks doubly happy. For one
thing, no grown up in these days
knows what a child wants, and
in the second place the fun that
children have out of going shop
ping with the money gives them
ten times the excitement and
pleasure that any gift could afford
of itself
used to wear myself to
fragile buying presents for chill
dren, but I don't do 1t any more,
/ send them the money and they
invariably buy something that
wouldn't have thought of in d
thousand years, and their mothers
tell me that they look forward to
my present more than to any
thing else they get.

Editorial Comment on the Frank Case

Editorial in The Chattanooga Times
The trial judge in the, case of
Leo Frank, convicted of murder
by an Atlanta jury declining to
grant a new trial to the con-
demned man, made the remark
able statement that, although he
had heard all the evidence and
the arguments of attorneys, he
was not for his part, able to de-
eide that the man was either
guilty or innocent; in other
words, what he declared amounts
to the expression Of a reasonable
doubt of guilt. He declined to
grant a new trial on the ground
that the jury had satisfied itself
beyond a reasonable doubt and
because the exceptions made by
the attorneys for the defense did
not appeal 10 him.
To execute a man in such cir
cumstances would be a reflection
upon the people Of Georgia. If
an able. experienced Judge; e
man capable Of assimilatlng, I'M
Outstanding and Weighing evil
dence, can not find sufficient
ground for taking mans life
under the law. Il would be ter
rible risk for a just people to as
sumo to take his life nevertheless.
Especially does this case appeal
for further consideration, not
only because Of the Judges eN-
traord;nary declaration, but be-
cause public sentiment had been

CINCE man has provided him
y self with wings he has
learned more astonishing
things about the air than were
dreamt of in his old philosophy,
He has HAD to learn them in
order to make travelling safe on
his new aerial highway, The wind
was almost a complete mystery
until aeronauts began to make
close acquaintance with its
strange moods and vagaries The
startling experiences of aviators
have stimulated the anemome-
trists, 1. g., the wind -measurers,
to fresh Investigations which have
had surprising results.
Consider. for instance, these
things which have recently been
found out by the Aerotechnic In
stitute of the University of Paris;
If two thermometers (wind-
measurers) are placed side by
side about 70 feet above ground
when wind of from 33 to As
feet per second is blowing, the
most remarkable differences in
the velocity Of the wind are OBJ
served. If the thermometers are
only 10 inches apart. both usually
show nearly the same wind We
locity; but if the distance be-
tween them is increased to about
SO inches one will sometimes show
a wind velocity of 10 feet per
second more rapid than that
shown by the other, But this diff
ference lasts only for an instant.
If the distance between the an
emometers is increased to 20 or
"a feet, the usual length OF an
aeroplane, the differences in the
velocity Of the wind shown by
them are occasionally enormous,
but Of very brief duration. This
