Whereas, An expensive investigate
made in the state of Massachusetts In 10

Moreover, the destruction of the fishel

Whereas. In view of these facts aboJ

In. the first place the CHAIR desires
to suggest that senators. yiwho expect
to introduce bills of aspslbic nature
will if possible INTRODUCES them right
away and have them referred to the
committees. Ii is impossible for those
in charge of the business of the two
Branches to know what bills Of pub
lie nature the various senator's. and
representatives may have in mind to
introduce, and while no rule has been
made in regard to the time limit Of
such bills it is very desirable they be
introduced at he.esrliest possible mo-
ment for consideration by the COM
mittees. ..s
The next suggestion refers to the
duties of the senators as chairmen of
the joint committees of the Legisla-
ture. The business of the joint com
nittees Is regulated to large extent
by the advice of the ehairmen. The
Chair desires TO suggest to the mem
bers of the Senate in their capacities
as chairmen of the joint committees,
that re-assignment of matters assign
ed for hearings be resisted unless re-
assignment is absolutely necessary
And that in case of reassignment, if
possible, the new hearing be held the
same week, even if an. evening session
of the committee is necessary for tina.
purpose.
The Chair wishes to urge very
strongly upon members of the Senate
the matter of an early assignment of
all matters before your committees for
consideration. If possible, it is hoped
that matters may pnf ba aSSiUna6
eI4s*i1an the first of March or the first
week in March for hearing.
The Chair also desires to urge upon
you as ehairmen of committees the
great Importance of a prompt report
from your committees on all matters
that have been considered, unless in
the case of an appropriation or of .
bill of great Importance, like the Pub
lie Utilities measure, that must be put
into shape by the committee The
!; Chair thinks it advisa BILE that all ordi-
nary matters should be reported
promptly after hearing.
These suggestions are made in the
interest OF prompt dispatch of business
more than in the interest of short
session, but those suggestions if car
ried out will tend to that end. The
main purpose of the presiding officers
is to avoid as far as possible the un-
seemly rush and haste that have too
often characterized the last week or
two or the session. If these SUCCESS
lions are carried out the rush of the
last end of this session will be very
materially relieved.

SEARCH SEA FOR
LOST j. s. SHIPS
Entire Atlantic Fleet Ordered to
Watch for Missing "Pan-
Their" and "Sonoma.'

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Increasing
anxiety is felt by navy department Of
fcials for the safety of the repair ship
Panther and the naval tug Sonoma as
the hours pass and the long arm of the
wireless is unable to locate the missing
vessels, which left Brooklyn navy yard
last Thursday for Guantanamo.
Secretary of the Navy Meyer on be-
ing informed today that no word has
been received from the Panther. or
dered the entire Atlantic fleet, now on
its way to Guantanamo, to watch for
the missing vessels, and added that if
they do not report on time at Guam
tanamo tomorrow he viii send every
vessel on the Atlantic coast to search
for them.
The Panther and Sonona, the former
carrying 100 and the latter 80 men. left
the Brooklyn navy yard just previous
to the beginning of the terrific storm
which swept the Atlantic coast last
Thursday night and all day Friday. The
last word heard from the naval vessels
was late Friday, when they were pass
ing Cape Hatteras, and the Arlington
wireless station picked up a message
from the Panther saying:
Heavy gale, all right so far"
Neither the Panther nor the SonOma
was equipped to withstand the strain
Of a 90-mile gale at sea. The repair
ship was considered to be a seaworthy
vessel, but was heavily laden with tools
and iron machinery for the use of the
Atlantic fleet while at Guantanamo. and
the Sonoma was at best. only a tug,
and, therefore, incapable OF great re
sistance to the sea. The storm which
swept up from the Florida keys is ad-
mitted to have been one of the worst in
the past 80 years. and the reports Of
damage in other quarters only add to
the anxiety of the officials for the safe
ty of the Panther and her attendant.

Nearly Fill Requirements Set
by The Georgian's Physical
Training Expert.

Here are three healthy youngsters,
whose physical PROJECTIONS well may
De envied by others of their age, They
were candidates in the quest for the
perfect Atlanta baby and while they
did not attain the physical point of per-
lection, they nevertheless are fine boys
and deserve special mention.
The older of the three boys, that one
shown in the picture with a smile on
his face and his arms extended. is Mas
ter Duncan Wilkes, the three-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs w. NJ. Wilkes, 3S1
Greenwood avenue.
He of the open mouth and wrinkled
brow-he started to cry out of fear of
the ugly camera man-is Charles Boil
ton. the sixteen -months-old son of Mr..
and Mrs c. H. Bolton, SAP Woodward
avenue.
The other. and most serious-faced Of
the trio, is the extremely fine little
twenty months-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Gilbert Madison Roberts, 236 Luckie
street. He is the junior member of the
family. and also will grow up to sign
"Jr." after his name.
And here it must be said. to do him
full Justice, little Charley Bolton has
not chronic Crouch" even if the eN-
preston on his face does hint at that.
The fact is, he hasn't a crouch at all.
True. in the picture, he is just tuning
up" for cry. But his mother said he
doesn't often cry, and you must not be
lieve he does. For, who wouldn't cry
when an ugly old camera man spoke
out in his cracked voice, stand still,
now; Just minute"
All three Of these boys have been
healthy all their lives Without realiz-
ing it, their mothers have followed out
little pet rules Of their own which
nearly coincide with Professor Magee's
rules for the care of the baby.
They have realized the importance Of
both indoor and outdoor exercise and
diet in the development of the muscles,
body and brain of their children. AS a
result. they possess in their children
rare and precious jewels figuratively
speaking.
Possibly had these three youngsters
been trained along the identical lines
indicated by Professor Magee, their
physique might nearer approach the
ideal set by The Georgian's physical
training expert.
As it is, though, they are all any
proud parent could desire, and really
are. therefore, held up as models to the
hundreds of mothers OF less favorably
developed children.

ization of Insurance Con-
Cern-State Aids Plans.

ana show cause why the companys as
sets should not be liquidated
The order was taken by Attorney
General T. S. Fielder. acting for the
state insurance department, which CON-
trolls the company's affairs at presently
under order Of superior court.
The action means that the plan for.
reorganization of the Cosmopolitan.
adopted at a recent meeting of stock
holders, will be completed A new
company, to be known as The Cosmo-
politan Life Insurance Company. with a
capital of 100000, instead of $1,000 :
600, viii be organized. and the present
company's liabilities adjusted to the
satisfaction of state authorities. 1t is
understood chat application for chars
ter for the new company has been
made With the secretary of state.
Thus the liquidation ordered by the
court on January Is will be a forma h
affair. and the assets of the old com.
pany will be transferred to the new.

approve the plan of reorsau cation
