Of Under Age Cows and Bulls.
Another bill designed to reduce the cost
OF living appeared in the House yester-
day 1t was offered by Representative
Adamson of Georgia, a Democratic lead
er who is chairman of the Committee on
Interstate and Foreign Commerce.
The Adamson bill prohibits the ship
ment in interstate commerce of cows un-

age of two. The only exception made is
when such cattle is shipped for grazing
purposes.
Mr. Adamson Is Of the opinion that. to
some extent the high prices of beef Are
caused by the heavy consumption of
veal. He takes the position that il cattle
is permitted to mature that the available
supply of beef will thereby be Increased.
and prices necessarily reduced. He in
tends to have a hearing on the bill be-
fore his committee early in the December

LAW RADICALLY WRONG"

Editor The Georgian:
| have read with great interest
your editorial on Shall Sex Save
Women From Execution" and note
with deep pleasure and satisfaction
your expressed attitude on capital
punishment. Your statement that
men and women should not be done
to death by the state for crime is
at once pertinent and true, espe-
cially so with reference to women.
Why? Because the legislature
which enacted the law providing a
death penalty, by hanging, for muir
der did not have in mind the COM
paratively few crimes of that ma
ture which have been committed by
women. Go with me, if Won please,
into the halls of our legislative bod
les and listen to the word pictures
painted there. and you will OBJ
serve that the image silhouetted
on canvas is that of the eXpectant
offender who. with reference to
murder is man. Were women the
only offenders, with their compar-
atively few crimes along this line,
such a law would not be in exis-
tence today. If this be true. does
ii not open up an avenue to those
in authority for an application of
the spirit rather than the letter of
the law? The trainers and enaCtors
OF this law had i'm mind what? The
administration of justice or the
making of an example and the pun
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-01-22

ishment of the offender, thereby
possibly preventing similar crimes
among others?
If it was the administration of
justice. then the law is radically
wrong, viewed from standpoint of
religious civilization.
So ashamed of this grewsome
spectacle of hanging have we be
come that executions are now pr
vately conducted. If right, why
should the states seek to hold them
behind closed doors? BY so doing.
are they not thwarting the real
reason for the eXecution-namely
the making of an example of the
offender? We must bear in mind
that to be an example to the vi
cious, who are generally ignorant,
the example must be one to be wit
messed, or else it is without virtue.
We must bear in mind also the
fact that to administer justice to
one who commits a heinous crime
we are compelled to sink to ident-
cally the same level whether the
administration be done personally
or collectively as a great state.
1t is gratifying to note that ~
several of our sister states capita
punishment is permitted no longe..
or else has never been tolerate.
1t will be a step forward when
Georgia and other states put h'
hind them this relic of q lower D''-
ilization

Language of Eye Is the Most Effective

THE eye is the great educator. It
is so wonderful in it's work
that from time immemorial
men have ascribed mystical powers
to the eye.
II not only gathers knowledge for
its possessor but it dispenses
knowledge from him to others. You
can generally read in a mans eye
what he is, and what he is thinking.
1t is the window of his soul, and he
Is so well aware of ii that if he is
trying to conceal anything he first
of all endeavors to draw a curtain
over his eyes.
1t is an anatomical, and not sim
ply poetical, statement that the
eye is window to the brain. A
nerve, called the optic" nerve. from
a Greek word meaning sight, starts
directly out of the brain behind the
eye, passes through a hole in the
skull, and spreads over the back of
the eye in the form of a screen.
called the 'retina," from the Latin
word rete. "a net" The ball of the
eye is composed of transparent
lenses, which focus the light on the
reitna, just as lenses of glass might

It Should Be a Habit.

Possibly your friend may blame
you for not having a well-kept ad-
dress book. But your address book
is not always at your hand You
do not carry II about with you
when leaving home; and your let
tiers meanwhile follow you.
1t should become a habit with
every individual writing a letter to
add the full address. 1t requires
but moments work and time. and
may save the recipient of the let
ter hours of irritation and annoy
ance.
The persons who write you let
ters on their own affairs, asking a
reply and failing to inclose a self
addressed and stamped envelope,
also are verging on the nuisance
line
Because one who receives many
letters finds time precious; and to
be forced to give a letter a second
reading in order to remember the
address, and then to address the
envelope and affiX the stamp all
means an unnecessary use Of mo-
ments which are needed for better
things. And if a score Of such let
ters come in one post, the offense is
magnitied by each multiplication.
Therefore, one who asks the ia
vor of reply from any one save
the most intimate friend or relative
should inclose the self addressed
envelope.

Most Wonderful Language.

So the outer world is pictured on
the screen that the brain spreads
at the back of the eye and the brain
sees it. and interprets it to the in
telhgenre.
This arrangement is SO simple
and Yet SO marvellous in the perfec-
ton of it's details that it is no won
der that strange beliefs have grown
up about the eye. Neither by words
nor 10y actions can a man make his
meaning SO instantaneously clear
and effective as by a glance of his
eye. An uplifted fist is not 80 ter
rible as a threatening eye. There
is. perhaps, truth in the old belief
that courageous man can COW
wild beast by fixing unflinching
eyes upon it. The next time YOU
meet an ugly dog stand still and
look him steadily in the eye. The
chances are very great that. in
few moments, he will drop his own
eyes, put his tail between his legs
and skulk away A two-legged dog
will do the same thing.
The language of the eye is won
derful II can say anything, with
incomparably greater force than
the tongue. It is the brains most
direct line of action upon. the outer
world
The whole man speaks through
the eye. The entire force of his
personality is behind it, The CEN
tral fire of his nature flashes
through it,

A Traveller S Tale.

An American traveller has record
ed a curious instance of the in
stinctive belief of uneducated peo-
pie in the mystic power of the eye.
He happened to have a glass eye,
and when he was living in Japan
he used to take it out at night and
place it in a bowl of water at his
bedside. Presently he began to no.
tice the extreme respect with which
he was treated by his servants.
Then he found that a crowd would
frequently gather in the street be-

THE- people who mean to be an
noying and unsatisfactory are
few. The few who are so,
without meaning 1t, are many.
There are your correspondents
who write you letters demanding
immediate answers, and carefully
append the date to their letters,
and leave off the address.
You spend hours in trying to
think of the number and street;
you look in the telephone book, and
then realize that they live in an
apartment house; and you can not
recall the name of the apartment,
And so precious time and vital
force is wasted, all because a
thoughtless friend had not the good
sense and foresight to give the
number and name of her abode
