Georgia Archives in
Peril of Destruction,
Asserts Phil Cook

Secretary of State Phil Cook Tues
day issued an informal statement in
regard to the Importance of the State
preserving the old records which are
filed in the Statehouse.
According to Mr.. Cook many of the
Oldest records in the State Archives
Department are in imminent danger
Of destruction. Most of the books
are now stored, away in cases which
could be destroyed by fire. and many
of the old maps have been rendered
practically valueless by excessive
handling.
Mr.. Cook points out that whereas
the State of North Carolina has ex-
pended something like $4,000 recent
ly for the preservation of it's old rec
ords, Georgia is spending less than
$4,000 appropriated last year for the
purchase of glass cases. A much
larger sum is needed Immediately, he
says.

Madame tx" Pleases
Small Lyric Audience.

An audience altogether smaller than
the performance deserved saw Mad
anne X at the Lyric. Theater Monday
night Roth because the play is tech
nically good and because the acting is
for the most part worthy, Madame
X" as played at the Lyric, is deserv-
ing.
Miss Eugene Blair known of old to
Atlanta showgoerS is an actress OF
robust power, and particularly during
the eXacting scenes of the play was
her work commendable. Indeed, she
was better under the stress of great
emotion than in the calmer, more
studied moments.
The play lends itself to just such
moments. The story is that of a
woman led to a shady life, eNiled from
her home and her son. In later years
she. wreck, is brought to trial for
murder The court appoints an ad-
vocate 1t is her son, grown to mans
stature. The situation, 1t is plain, de-
mands much of the performer.
The work Of Margaret Myrtle. as

Phillips, as Perissard, supplemented
Miss Blair's performance excellently.

this week for nightly performances

Bishop Scores Vast
Outlay for Armament

BOSTON, Oct. 21.-A striking con-
trast of the amount of money con-
tributed for Christian missions and
the amount expended by European
nations for army and navy equipment
was made by Bishop Joseph Schrembs,
Of Toledo, Ohio, at the Catholic
Church Extension Congress. Bishop
Schrembs said:
There are one billion persons in
this world to-day who never heard
the name of Christ. The whole Cath
Ole world has not contributed over
IS, 100000 among those people, while
the combined powers Of Europe are
expanding to-day more than $2,000,-
100000 on armies and navies for the
destruction of the very peace which
Christ came on earth to establish"

Their idea was that inasmuch as

unwise to do anything in the mean

seem to forestall, its conclusions.

now, and then the Legislature, after

The Governor and Mr.. Britain were
moved In the matter more by a desire
to save the people of Georgia ex-
traordinary and unnecessary expense
than anything else, and as they are
more directly responsible to the peo-
pie than any other members OF the
board, and have more at stake than
