STORK IS SHY OF
COLLEGE GRADS
University Professor Points Out That
Birth Rate Is Much Higher
Among Poorer Classes.

WASHINGTON The concluding
session of the International Kinder
garten Union here was featured by
an address by DR.. Scott healing or
the University of Pennsylvania, who
asserted that the forces operating in
society were actually converting chill
dren into liabilities instead of social
assets. He enumerated three import
ant elements in converting children
into liabilities; the decreasing birth
rate among college graduates, COM
pared with the increase in birth rate
among the poorer classes; the wage
question, preventing many fathers
from earning enough money to prop
erly nourish their children, and the
country's ineffective school system.
Among college graduates DR.. Neal
ing asserted the birth rate is approx
imately two children per family,
while the class least able to support
children has families two, three, four
or five times as large. IAN examina-
ton of the average wages paid in
American industry" he added, will
show that approximately three-quar-
tiers of the adult males working in
industrial cities and towns receive
less than seven hundred and fifty dol
lars in wages, and. therefore, pre-
sunnaTIy less than enough to support
a family of three children decently.
In the United Staes there are thous-
ands and even tens Of thousands of
children who are habitually hun
cry He presented statistics to
show that at least ten per cent of
the children who attend kindergar-
ten schools are hungry because their
fathers are unable to feed them.

AMERICUS, Ga.-Directed to Sum

gineer of construction Of the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington
as the the locality where the best
system Of good roads construction
could be found a committee of three
citizens of Tyler, Texas, Judge j. o..
Odum and Messrs. S. D. Jackson and
S. H. Cox, reached Americas Monday
morning upon a tour of inspection
of Sumter county roads. The fact
that the Texans we're directed here
by such an authority as the engineer
of construction for the national de-
partment of agriculture is an unusual
endorsement of the great work done
in Sumter county, whose roads have
a national reputation.
I'VE wanted to see the best system
of public roads, and We have made no

GRAND JURORS
INDICTED IN LEE
Accused of Violating the Prohibition
Law. Sensational Developments
Follow Converting of Court.


Follow Converting of Court.
News was received yesterday from
Leesburg to the effect that the grand
Jury of Lee county, at it's recent ses-
sion, had indicted two of its own
members for violating the prohib1-
ton law, while another indictment
was against a citizen of Albany.
These are indeed sensational de-
velopments from Lee county, where
the grand jury evidently did its work
thoroughly.
In addition to its indictment of
these persons the Lee grand jury in
vestigated the finances of the coun-
ty and the county commissioners, and
recommended a change in the admin
istration of affairs by the commits
sioners. The grand jury recommend
ed the selling of the county farm,
which, it was claimed, proved a bur
den rather than an aid financially.
The jury also recommended an ex-
animation of the accounts of the
county commissioners.
The indictments and work of the
grand jury are believed to have come
largely as the result of the strong
charge given the body by Judge u. A.
Littlejohn, who urged the members
m do their duty and not to shirk 1t
merely because they might meet OPP
position. The people of Lee county
are grateful to Judge Littlejohn for
his aggressiveness in doing his full
duty as judicial officer and to the
grand jury for its good work.

INVESTIGATING HOG DISEASE.

United States Department of Agri-
culture Sends Man to Cuthbert.
DIR. Scully, in the employ of the
department of agriculture at Wash
ington, was here Monday to inspect
the hogs of Mr.. w. S. McWilliams,
whose pigs have been dying of a pc
culiar disease. He diagnosed the
trouble, giving it some unpronounce-
able name, his opinion differing from
that of the representative sent here
by the state few days ago. A dead
pig will be dissected and inspected
by DR.. Scully.
Whatever the name of the disease
may be it is certainly a bad one.
Out of about 20 Berkshire pigs only
nine survived, and seven of these may
never get over the effects. Only two
were unaffected. Mr.. McWilliams
estimates his loss at nearly $1,000.
He thinks he has discovered a cure
for the disease, but unfortunately it
was made too late to save many of
the pigs.-Cuthbert Leader.

Visited Cuba, jamaica, Mexico and
Panama. Bought Gasoline in ia

Just three months to day from
the time he chugged out of Indianap-
oils on his motorcycle E. G. Baker
chugged back again, having ridden
in the meantime $4,000 miles.
Up hill and down dale he went,
over railroad beds, through streams,
across deserts, along COW paths, over
mountains.
Cuba, Jamaica, Old Mexico, the
Panama canal, the West, the South
west and the South all fed past him
as his sturdy motor carried him
swiftly through the long miles.
Baker, leaving Indianapolis, hit
out for Atlanta, Ca, then Savannah,
Jacksonville and thence to Havana,
Cuba. He spent six days riding
around the island and then shipped
to Jamaica, where he rode for three
days. In Jamaica his gasoline was
served to him in half pint bottles
wrapped in tissue paper. 1t is deli
cacy in Jamaica.
From Jamaica Baker shipped to
Colon and then rode the length of
the Panama canal to the city of Pan
ANA. From there he rode to San
Pedro, Los Angeles and then back
into Old Mexico. San Jose, Santa
Barbara, Oakland San Francisco,
Stockton, Los Angeles, San Diego fol-
lowed in order, and then he headed
for home. Yuma, Phoenix, Ell Paso,
Fort Worth, Dallas, Little Rock, Ter
re Haute-and indianapolis. That's
Bakers motorcycle ride in brief.
One day he forded 81 streams. His
best days mileage Go hours) was
23S miles. He rode one day 333 miles
in sixteen hours. He rode 1872 miles
on COW paths He made what is said
to be I. record in desert travel, COW
ering $50 miles through sand in 30
hours and Is minutes.
ut just shows what motorcycle
can do said Baker. ST have never
yet seen the place that l couldn't go
on a two-wheeler. 1t was a great
trip-one that was enjoyable from
first to last. 1t was not always easy
going, but at that 1 gained 10
pounds. So it must have done me
good"
On the day that Baker forded 81
streams he found one that was about
shoulder deep. He waded in and
sounded it. Then he wheeled his
motorcycle through to the other
shore, returning for his clothes. He
carried them across and in an hour
he was on his way. The water did
not hurt the machine.
Baker was in a train wreck in
Florida and in a sand storm in the
desert. In the wreck he dug his
motorcycle out from under dozen
trunks and found it as good as new.
The sand storm came suddenly up
on him, with no shelter for miles.
He lay down with his machine in
hollow and let the storm swing above
him. A few minutes later he was
on his way.

JOKE MAY COST PARK JOB
Strong Fight Is to Be Made on State
Bankers Legal Representative Be-
cause of Utterance at Macon.


ATLANTA.-some of the members
of the Georgia Bankers Association
are going to the convention in Macon
this month prepared to do battle.
Just how much battle they will do
depends on developments, but indi-
cations are for lively time.
The fight will center around the
appointment of a legal representa-
tive for the association.
Orville Park of Macon is the pres
ent legal representative. In a recent
speech at a group meeting in Macon
he made bad break" He suggest
ed, jocularly, he says, that bankers
attempt to influence Legislators in ia
vor of the new bank law when the
legislators come seeking loans.
The speech was reported, and caus-
ed a rumpus. Mr.. Park sticks to his
'all a joke explanation. But many
of the bankers are not satisfied. They
think a man of legal acumen suffi-
Gent to advise the bankers should be
shrewd enough not to make ill-tinied
and ill-considered jokes.
Mr.. Park does not want to quit
under fire.
Hence the probability of warfare.
The position of legal representative
pays salary merely nominal, but
the appointment brings considerable
legal business to the holder of the
title, and is valuable in that way.

SEGREGATION OF
NEGROES RESULTED
Presidents Wife Found Whites and
Blacks Eating Together in the
Bureau of Engraving.

WASHTNGTON.-Closely follow
ing a visit to the bureau of engraving
and printing by Mrs. Woodrow Will
son an order has been issued by John
Shelton Williams, assistant secretary
of the treasury, segregating white
women from negresses in the bureau.
According to the story told by prom
inent people in Washington tonight
Mrs. Wilson, when visiting the bu-
reau at lunch hour, was surprised to
see negro women and white women
eating together at the long tables.
She is said to have commented on
this fact to Secretary McAdoo and
Mr.. Williams. At any rate the issu-
ance of the order followed very
promptly.
The bureau has recently been Wis
tied by an epidemic of smallpox, and
it was said that this fact as well as
a general feeling for segregation of
the races was in the minds of Mrs.
Wilson and Mr.. Williams.
The story, highly vouched for, Gre
ated a mild sensation in Washington
tonight and was gossiped widely.

GERMANS WAR CHEST.
Hoard of $50, 900, 900 in Gold in Re-
serve in julius Tower at SpOndau.

Hoard of 10000, 900 in Gold in Re-
serve in julius Tower at SpOndau.
Not the least interesting part of
the extraordinary German proposals
for an immense levy of taxation to
defray the cost of the great extension
in military strength was the avoWed
intention of increasing the famous
war reserve from $30,0O0,00O to
s9O,OOO,O0O. No other great nation
has a war chest of actual cash, and
in these days of big finance no nation
needs to keep one. 1t has been con-
servatively computed that Germany S
S3O.OOO,OO0 would be exhausted in
a day and half in case the empire
went to war.
The money is stored away in bags
in a dozen small cabinets or safes
built into the walls. These are on
various levels and are reached by
spiral stair case.
Twenty-four men usually comprise
the guard. OF these eight are con-
stantly on duty, the guard changing
every two hours. The patrol is made
about the base of the tower, in the
tower and on the top.
The Julius Tower was first used by
Frederick the Great as the Prussian
war chest. The reserve held there
was turned over to the empire when
it was found and the tower itself
used for the storage of the $50, OOO,-
600. The money has been kept in
reserve to defray the expenses of the
quick mobilization of the German
army in case war should break out.
1t would pay for the horses and mill
itary supplies that are already con-
tracted for in such an emergency.

Pensioning Crime Laeder.
The documents seized at the
headquarters of the militant suffra-

crimes, which apparently qualified
them to be placed on the pension list.

Scheme Too Costly.
Another letter read by Mr.. Bodkin
referred to a proposal by the suffra-
.gettes to damage some dock yards in
Great Britain. The cost of the
scheme, 100000, was probably the
reason why it was not Immediately
accepted.
When Mrs. Beatrice Sanders was

1t is estimated that fear of war
is costing the six great powers of Flu
rope $4,000, 100000 a year. A war
scare is one of the costliest things
a nation can have, and with some of
the European powers it seems to be
chronic. The cost of it is not con-
fined to money. The productive years
of a great many young men are being
used up in the army, when they
might be used to increase the food
supply, or in the factory making
something more worth while than

 She is the first suffragcttr mar tyr and her comrades, in the at tempt to secure the ballot for women, have held many street meetings eulOgizing her, after which they went through the streets breaking windows and burning mail boxes and doing all manner of damage to property. The police finally succeeded in dispensing the crowds and made many arrests. but not before many women had been injured and much property destroyed.

Sovereign Rights of States.

Since the state of California has passed the lbill concerning the right of aliens to own land ill that state there has been much Sald about the sovereign rights of states. Among some of the things brought out is a discus sion of the sacredness of treat ies. In this connection it is we'll to remember that the federal con- stitution declares that all treat Ies made under the authority of the United States shall be the su- preme law of the land. A treaty is. even more binding than a law of congress, as the latter deals only with the people in our own land, while the treaty deals with our relations with foreign gov ernments, and must not be vio- lated, the government or nation or state to the contrary notwith- standing. No state has a sovereign right when it comes to foreign re- lations.

London, June 9.--Servia and Bulgaria are on the verge of war over the division of the spells taken from Turkey in the recent war.
 The Bulgarians declare that the fighting was all done by them and that they are therefore en- titled to have the preponderance of the captured territory, but King Peter of ScrVia says not so, that Eve did the work and you have reapcd the greatest reward and would take it all. .'
 Both armies have been notified and may start the fighting at any minute, as much bitter feeling has broken out among the men. The Greeks are ready to aid the Serv- ians and a treaty has been signed between the two countries by which each will aid the other against an attack by the Bulgars.

 The correspondence" between the operators and the union ntfi- cials, which has been seized by he government, shows that it has intended to force the West Nir- ginia AperatorS to pay higher wages and thus be unable to com pete with the coal barOnS of the northern states.
 The strike has been going on for over year and many min CTS and deputies have been kill ed in battles between guards and strikers.
