DIDN'T KNOW THE SENATOR
Thomas of Colorado Was Barred at
Senate Door After His Hair
Was Cut.

AS Sampson found his strength van
ished after Delilah shipped his locks,
SO Senator Thomas of Colorado found
his official identity lost after paying
visit to a barber shop in the capitol.
He even was spurned by the senate
doorkeepers.
Senator Thomas long has gloried in
waving name. But when the sizzling
heat of an unusually hot spring day
settled on Washington it ceased to be
a source of qualification or glory.
The senator stood the discomfort as
long as he could and then decided to
be shorn. An overzealous barber
shipped the statesman's locks down to
the scalp.
Back" said a portly doortendeI
when Senator Thomas sought to enter
to the floor of the senate. You cam

But I'm Senator Thomas" pro

| leries down the corridor to your right.
The senator was rescued by col
league, who disclosed his identity L
the embarrassed keeper of the door
The barber, at last reports, was sal
to be in hiding.

Out in Cleveland II trained nurses
are now giving lessons in infant by
giene TO the girl pupils attending 10
public schools. 1t is reported that the
girls have shown an intense and de-
lighted interest in the lessons, absorb
ing eagerly all that relates to the
proper care of babies. This kind OF
instruction in the public schools repre-
sents something more and better than
the activity of faddists. America. like
other countries. has a very large in
FAINT death rate. Thousands of infants
die annually because they have not re
ceived proper care 1t is easily con
ceivable that the proper training o.
girls might save the lives of many
babies.

Cannon Of Solid Rock.

When the island of Malta was under
the rule of the knights of St John
they defended their Notifications with
cannon bored in the living rock. Each
one of these strange weapons con-
tanned an entire barrel of powder. and
as it was not possible to vary the aim
Of these cannon so were made ready,
facing various directions from which
the enemy might approach.
When the fame of these arms of de

Foolish SeIf-Condemnation.

40 comfort for the living or the
dead can be won from vain self-con-
domination. No consolation can be
gained while you nurse the imagining
that certain trouble might have been
avoided. What We have to do is to
try to escape from other troubles that
are truly voidable-troubles of a
useless remorse, a present neglect, q
listless apathy that will not reach

MANY PERSONS COLOR BLIND
Tests Used by Railroads Show That
Almost Everybody is Slightly
Color Blind.

The various tests for color blind
ness have come into practical use In
the examination of railroad engineers
and the like. where the ability to dis
tinguish colors is necessary, so that
these tests are no longer peculiar to
the laboratory. But il is not gener-
ally known outside the laboratory that
everybody is partially color blind
that is, in certain parts of the field Of
vision. The most normal individual
can see all the colors only when he
looks directly at them. If looked at
from an angle of about fifteen degrees
red and green can no longer be seen,
but in their places will appear shades
of yellow or blue This region of the
eyes is known as the yellow-blue zone
If the color be moved still farther to
the side the yellow and blue will dis
appear and only gray can be seen
This region is known as the zone OF
complete color blindness. An inter
! esting theory in regard to these zone:
is that every normal eye represents
three stages of evolution. The ZONE
OF complete color blindness is the low
est stage, and appears in such ami
mails as the frog. whose vision II
known as shadow vision. The blue
yellow zone is one step higher in thu
scale, although not clearly marked
off in the animal kingdom. And tn
appearance Of the red-green ION
marks the highest stage of evolution
Cases of color blindness are, accort

TO RESTORE PEAR ORCHARDS
Application Of Some Kind Of Fertilizer
Necessary to Renew Vitality
Manure Is Best.

After a pear orchard has borne two
OF three good crops OF fruit. the trees
should have an application of some
sort of fertilizer to restore vitality.
Good manure especially from the
sheep pens is the cheapest and is bet
ter for the soil than commercial ferti
lizers Many growers overlook the
matter of fertilizing their bear
ing trees until they actually
starve TO death for the want
OF necessary food TO preserve life and
vigor to enable them to bear market
able fruit That tree is straving ia
easily determined by the size of the
leaves and the fruit. In this respect.
the dwarf pear is much more exacting
than the standard. The dwarf re-
Quires high manuring. Fertilizers
must be applied closer to the base and
roots. as the ounce roots do not
spread out like those of the standard
pear or course. the standard will
respond 10 good fertilization as the root
system is widespread and deep how
ever. the trees do not feel the neces
sity OF plant food as the dwarfs do
The fear OF pear blight has caused Z
few growers to abandon fertilization
and hence their orchards have beer
In half starved condition. There II
not nearly the danger from fertiliza
ton that there is from blowing ant
| digging around the trees or from over
| irrigation which forces wood growth

MINISTER TELLS
HIS FLOCK Of
KISSING GIRL
Sued for $4,000 for Oscillation,
He Explains From Pulpit How
1t All Happened,

BROOKFIELD, MO, Nov. 27.-The
Rev. w. C. Atwood, pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church of this city
who is facing a $1,000 damage suit
for kissing a young woman of his
congregation, devoted the whole time
of his usual morning service to a de-
Tense of himself. AS it was expected
that he would make some explanation,
the large auditorium and Sunday
school room were filled with church
people and many curious outsiders,
attracted by the prospect of hearing
something sensational.
The clergymans address was dra-
matte, and his contention was that,
while he was guilty of az very foolish
indiscretion," he did not intend to do
any serious wrong. He confessed that
he surprised the young woman, busy
at her desk, and forcibly kissed her on
the hair, Just above the ear" He
also admitted that he proposed to her
that they should go to st. Louis to-
gether, but that his proposal was an
innocent one.
The address was devoted largely to
criticism of the young woman's IA
ther who is an officer in the church,
and whom he accused of trying to
drive the minister out of the church.
The speaker said that the father was
displeased with him and took this
means Of dividing the church in order
to get another pastor. No accusa
ton of wrongdoing was brought
against the father except that he had
formed dislike and was disposed to
make trouble about 1t.

Hurried Decision on
Pageant by School
Children Kills Plan

The insistence OF a committee from
the Atlanta Drama League for an
immediate decision by the School
Board on proposal to utilize the
public school children of the city in
Shakesperean pageant in one of
the parks NIX spring has caused the
board to /ote unanimously against
the proposition. Several members Of
the board stated after the action had
been taken late Wednesday that II
the committee had given them time
to consider the matter, a different de-
cision might have been reached.
The plan to use the children in the
pageant was offered to the board by
Mrs. W. C. Spiker, president of the
league, and Mrs. A. B. Conklin. Mrs.
Spiker declared that the aim of the
pageant would be to promote among
the children above for classic ltera-
ture.
Superintendent William Slaton vio-
lently opposed the idea, characterize
Ing it as a fad.

Leaders in Campaign Notified of
Their SeIection-City To Be
Covered Closely.

Ivan f. Allen. vice chairman Of the
general committee on Oglethorpe Uni
versity. and DR.. Thornwell Jacobs,
secretary Of the committee, Thurs
sav notified by mail or personally the
20 men whom they had elected to
head the subcommittee which will
obtain the subscriptions for Allan
,as S250,00 bonus to the University.
As soon as acceptances are re-
.elved from all the 20, the names will
be made public, and work will start
at once on the collection Of the fund
which is to insure the location of
the new university in Atlanta.
Each of the 20 men will have four
men to help him in making the can
vas of the district to which he Is al
otted. The city will be divided ter
ritorially, and one district given to
each subcommittee.
DR. Jacobs said Thursday that he
was confident that the greater share
of the required s25O,000 would be
given by the men who gave subscrip-
tons to the old fund eight or nine
years ago. There were about 5000
donors at that time. Fully LOO of
these still are in the city and their
addresses known at present.
Many of these who have been ap-
preached on the matter not only
have renewed their original subscrip-
|uons, but have doubled or tripled them
This circumstance gives the general
committee hope that the raising of
the fund will not prove a very labo-
|rlous task
The terms of payment will be made
so as virtually to meet any Of the
conditions under which the donors
/ may wish to make their subscription.

This makes the list of entries now

Senator Henderson.
Ihere is not one of these men who
isn't strong in his home county. and
surrounding territory. Each has had
considerable political experience, and
all nave been successful in their va
rlous undertakings to date.
With the Eleventh District mixed
between these five-and with more
candidates yet to come, all all prob
aplllty-there is no sort of telling
what may happen on election day!
The Eleventh has been exception
ally well represented in Washington
Tor many years. William G. Brant-
ley represented it for dozen or
more, and before him Henry G.. Tur-
ner was Its Congressman Both men
left their marks indelibly in Wash
lngton, and both are referred to by
d-timers there as two of the very
aolest men who ever came to Wash =
| inston from Dixie. The consequence
ls that whoever represents the Elev-
enth In Washington has a hard place

There seems to be no sort of doubt
that most lively time, indeed, is in
store for the Eleventh District next
year. and 1t will not be surprising to
see every county therein put forward

honor before the SHOW down

Secretary OF State Phil Cook calls
the attention of automobiles to the
fact that they must procure new
state licenses between January !
and, March l, 1914, or become subject
to discipline by the department.
The new State automobile law goes
into effect then, and, while present
licenses, properly secured, hold gooJ
until March l. new ones, costing S.
each, must be secured not later than
March l. Those licenses will be good
until March l. 1915, and may be Sc
cured any time after January l, but
not later than G-arch l next year.
Automobile owners en- save them
selves and the Department of State a
great deal of annoyance and trouble
by remembering the foregoing facts
and governing themselves accord
ingly.
Hunting licenses procured this year

season does not end officially until

days in which hunters either must
take out NV licenses or hunt with
out any license whatever. This per-
picking state of things has been
brought about by nason of two dire It
conflicts in the game law.
To get around this difficulty, the
Game Warden of the State will issue
an order before February 20 extent
ing all licenses for a period of ten
days, and hunters therefore may hum
to the seasons close without fear OF
molestatlon, so far as their eXpir ed
licenses are concerned.
OF course, new licenses will have TO
be taken out for next season, unless
the Legislature pets busy with the
law in the meantime and changes or
amends it in some unexp -cted way.
