HARVARD PROFESSOR
BLAMES man FOR THE
UhTIDINESS OF PIGS
DIR. PETERS SAYS HOG Is A GEN
TLEMAN DESPITE DIET AND UN-
CLEANLY BED

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 28.-All ol
us owe the pig an apology. Through
these many ages pork on and OF the
hoof has been a synonym for uncleanli,
ness.
The discovery has been made by D.
Austin Peters of Harvard that the pil
lis at heart perfect gentleman and
should be treated as such.
"It is man that is to blame for the
uncleanliness OF food and habits that
has been the most prominent charac-
'teristic of swine," said DR.. Peters. 81,
has not been the fault of the pigs.
at is popular fallacy that pigs
would rather have lemon peelings
banana skins, oyster shells and dis
couraged tomatoes than anything else
They eat such things because men
won't give them anything else.
Apig ought to have a clean bed
to sleep in, its pen should be kept per-
fectly clean and it should have first
hand food, instead of the left-overs ol
all other animals"

MUTE FOOTBALL TEAM

HAVE TROUBLE "SEEING

WHEN CAPTAIN SIGNALS

Washington, D. c., Nov. 2S.-You or
binary football fans might not think
that it made any difference whether a
game starts at 2:3O or 3;2O in the af-
ternoon. That depends entirely on
what teams are preparing to put each
other in hospitals.
Gallaudet college, a Washington in
stitution for the deaf, and the Mary
Land Agricultural college are to play
Saturday.
The captain of the mute eleven in
sists with violent fingers and yehement
slate writing that the game shall start
at 2:30. He has a good reason.
eff the game starts later" he ex-
planned, ''it will begin to get dark be-
fore the day is over! In that case
my men could not see when 1 called
the signals"
Naturally, the deaf can not hear
called signals, even if their captain
could call them-which he cant.
Therefore, signals have to be called
in the finger language When it is
dark or cloudy the men have trouble
seeing what is said.
Gallaudet claims that its former de-
feats at the hands of the Maryland
farm students were due to this cause.

|PRETTY BABIES
| upon EXHIBIT
PLUCKED PRIZES
YOUNG AMERICUS ON PARADE
Five Winners at Fridays Big
Exhibit

Again is Americus enrolled upon
pages of fame in modern history for
having upon exhibition more babies
and prettier babies than could be cor
rallied under one tent in any city in
Georgia This statement, oft-repeated
and never challenged, was again veri-
fed in the galaxy of Growing, crying,
laughing kiddies upon exhibition here
yesterday.
1t was the annual Americus baby
show and more complete success has
never been scored by the ladies of the
Hospital association, under whase aus
pices, directed by Mrs John Butt, the
babetic feature was so Interestingly
unreeled.
Thirty-fve constituted the lineup
of bib wearers and the concensus Of
opinion was that each should be des-
ignated prize-winner Such a bou-
quet of buds could not be surpassed
for good looks or lung power, and the
kiddies kept up as much real noise as
would a suffragette meeting of old
maids, or a bridgefest in full erup-
tion.
The committee of three judges were
rank outsiders, corralled at the Wind
sor hotel and made to act in that ca
pacity. AS Mr.. j. E. Mathis, who later
delivered the prizes, remarked afce,
tiously, the triumvirate had speedy
car in readiness and caught an out
going freight at Plains, thus escaping
the nice comments of thirty mammas
whose prodigees had failed to land a
prize.
But in reality the baby show was
grand" as the interested spectators
expressed it, and the following named
little cherubs are wearing new iewelry
this morning:
Glass A; ages l week to six months;
the winners were Elizabeth Ames, aged
three months, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. C. A. Ames; and Elizabeth Eng
lish, aged three months, daughter CT
Mr.. and Mrs Oscar English.
Glass B; ages six to twelve months,
the winner was Johannah Bahnsen,
aged eight months, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. P. H. Bahnsen.
Glass C; ages one to two years, the
winners were Dorothy Morris, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Morris, and
Julia McLendon, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Hinkle McLendon.
1t was first planned to award only
one prize in each class, but when the
judges viewed the array of grooming,
merry kiddies they straightway put up
two additional prizes, and then dis
covered when too late that they were
still shy thirty prizes in making just
and merited awards. Their liberality
was equalled only by their enthus
iasm in doing well their paris.
Col. Ed Y. Andrews, who has been.
selling Whitney go-carts in Americus
since ST Hawkins was a baby, was
most enthusiastic spectator at yester-
days show, and has volunteered 70
contribute $25 go-cart as first prize
in next years exhibit of Sumter's dimp-
