HOT WEATHER
CAUSES Crime

Atlanta, Sept. 3.-That the heat wave
has had something to do with the crime
wave in Atlanta during the past week,
is a theory held by Chief Beavers and
by number of prominent local physi-
clans, who have been discussing the
co-incident phenomena.
During the past seven days it has
been very much hotter in Atlanta than
it should be at this season of the year,
and the proportion of fights, assaults
and batteries, murders and attempted
murders has about doubled.
The theory is that the heat gets into
the blood and makes people irritable
and quick to kindle into anger.

For half century, Cardui has been re-

SCARES PRETTY GIRLS

Atlanta, Sept. 3.-The East Lake
Colony had a scare yesterday when a
puppy belonging to Adjutant General
Van Holt Nash, and the pet of every
body in the neighborhood, developed
an acute case of hydrophobia.
Noticing thai the dogs jaw was
dropping and it's eyes looked queer
General Nash telephoned to Atlanta fol
skilled veterinarian. The doctor ar
rived on the scene and examined the
puppy which was not yet violent.
Nothing much the matter with hin
is there doctor?" chorused a group Ct
pretty girls who had been helping take
care of the pet in which they imagine
was trifiing illness.
Nothing but fully developed cas-
of rabies" he replied. "The most mer
ciful thing will be to give him dost
CT chloroform.'
( With screams and "Ohs" and "Ahs
the little crowd jumped back and scat
tered, and it has been deemed adVis
able to pen up all the dogs of thu
neighborhood for a few days to max
sure that none of them contracted tn
disease from the pup.

can Indian told him tradition of an
ancient and noble tribe that dwelt in
Catalina island long before the white
men came, a tribe that vanished,
leaving no trace.
The scientist decided that some
trace of them MUST exist. So he
went to the island and started dig
ging along Avalon bay.
Black, hard sand showed signs of
burning. DelVing into it, he found it
was the site of an ancient sacred fire,
kept alive day and night, year after
year, perhaps, by race that wor-
SHIPPED there and used it for a pyre to
burn it's honored dead.
His pick struck a human skull,
with a strange conical shell resting
on it. He dug around and under and
unearthed the skeleton of giant,
crouching, with his treasures in his
lap. ..... ....
These were arrow and spear heads,
curious wampUm made of carved fish
vertebrate, rude knives and needles,
mortars, pestles and carved shells,
all different from ordinary Indian
relics, and a strange, fat stone, bear
ing unknown symbols, that may have
been a calendar.
AS the air touched the long-buried
bones most of them crumbled to
dust. There remained the skull, Jaw
bone, teeth and bones Of one foot,
proving the size and strength Of the
man. And this is his story, as the
doctor inteTprets it:
81 was a chief of our island tribe.
We were eight feet tall and very
strong, but lived in peace, caring not
for conquest. Our senses were keen,
our nerves were steady. Our food
was fish and the fruit, grain and
roots that nature gave, Therefore
we toiled little.
1--WE were perfectly to our environ
ment. Disease was almost unknown.

worked by winches on the main deck.
No doubt he though himself a par

aware that the Chinese used this de-

difference being that instead of men
to turn the windlass, they used oxen,
Thousand Of years passed with
practically little achieved toward in
creasing the pace Of ocean-going
vessels from the time that the pre-
historic man in a fit Of laziness hit
upon the idea of using a sail to aid
him in propeIling his dug-out up to
the time of the steamboat. AS though
to make up for this delay, the voyage
across the Atlantic from England to
America takes fifteen days less to-
day than it did eighty years ago.
