MIRRORS AT ROAD. CROSSINGS
(Sclentlfic American.N

Mirrors al road crossings for the, use
of warning automobiles are COM
mencing to be used in England it is
stated, and the results are very good.
They are being put in places where
the crossings are specially dangerous,
and the use of large mirrors allows the
driver to see the reflection of cars
which are coming in other directions.
The method will probably be extend
ed in the future, as it is likely to
avoid many accidents and will be well
worth the small cost of putting in.
Another use for mirrors is upon heavy
uower wagons, where the driver can
not hear the signals of automobiles
back of him so as to have him take
the right hand side of the road to
allow them to pass. for the no .se OF
the power wagon often prevents the
horn from being heard. 1t Is pro-
posed to fit the power wagons with
small mirrors showing the back of the
road, but were this to be made OBJ
ligatory the mirrors might be imposed
upon the usual automobile cars as
well, and this would give rise to some
objections from their owners

THE ONLY PERFECT BABY.

In the August Woman's Home Com
panion the campaign for Better Ba-
bies'' is further reported. The Bet
ter Babies movement Is a movement
toward the improvement of children
by means of baby shows where babies
are Judged according to their physi-
their beauty. Hundreds of these
shows are being held in the United
States this year, and in each case
the children are judged precisely as
livestock is judged-according to a
strict score card prepared by emf
nent physicians OF course the most
important part of these shows is the
opportunity they afford for distrib-
uting among mothers practical scien-
tific suggestions for the care of sci
entific suggestions for the care Of
children. This is being done with
thoroughness and great success.
In report in the August Woman's
Home Companion entitled, Better
Babies in Cities" there is an account
of two successful contests organized
and managed by women of Knox
Vile, Tenn, and Des Moines, Iowa.
Following is an extract from the re-
port of the Knoxville show:
THE final feature proved truly
dramatic. First, the physicians had
found a perfect baby, Sidney June
Chastain aged twenty-five months,
son of a successful young business
man and a mother who springs from
fine Georgia stock, an ideal American
boy When the youngster was pro-
nounced perfect half dozen medical

men took him in hand and put him
through a second and more rigid ex-
animation. But there was no shaking
that first verdict. Sidney June Chas-
tain had scored the maximum possible
on the Better Babies Score-Card, one
thousand points, one hundred per
cent.
1T was hard for physicians and
committee members to keep the Sc
cret. but the feat was accomplished.
and when the announcement was
made In connection with the prize
award, applause shook the building.
Sidney and his proud but astonished
parents were asked to come to the
platform so that the audience could
look the one hundred per cent baby
over. The little lad received not only
the first cash prize I'm his class but
two silver mugs, one presented by
the Woman's Auti-Tuberculosis
League, the other by the Woman's
Home Companion, in recognition Of
the fact that Sidney was the first
child to reach the standards Of
weights and measurements set in the
Better Babies Standard Score-Card."

for leather Is augmenting. new uses
being continually discovered for this
material. In spite OF the efforts made
by chemists to find some suitable sub
stitute.
Another factor contributing to the
advance in the price OF leather is To
be found in the enormous increase In
the military establishments OF the
leading European powers, leather
forming an important element of mill
tary equipment. such as footwear,
Knapsacks, belts. CATERS. caps. har-
ness an dtrappings. The Belgian mill
lstry of war recently made proposal
for bids for leather goods amounting
to 100000 francs. The bids tor the
different lots were all far above the
maximum prices prevailing hitherto
which for certain classes of articles
no bids were submitted, thus showina
the penury of the leather market in
Belgium.

continuing their work. and as a result
many orientals are coming into the

apprehension is experienced at pres

Acts as Clearing House.
Already several associations besides
those composed OF stockmen are CO.
operating with the forest service
though there was no provision fol-
their official recognition before the
new ruling of the secretary went into
effect. One of the pioneers was the
Malad Forest Users association, com
posed OF men who reside in or neal
the Pocatello forest which lies on the
border of Utah and Idaho. The ad.
visoTy board of this association has
acted as a clearing house for com.

officer who can do as he chooses and
against whose actions 1t Is impossible

have done away completely with any
such feeling. Cattle and sheep grow

More Corn Is Needed.

The governments estimate of this
years corn crop, printed elsewhere
in today's News, is 82S,550,OOO bush
els, or nearly 100000 bushels under
the yield Of last year.
While much more grain has been
produced in the South there is a
very big shortage in other sections.
which means that there is to be a
scarcity and that high pricea are to
prevail.
This fact inspires the Columbus
Ledger to urge the Georgia farmers
to go into the grain-producing bust
ness next year on even a larger scale
and with a determination to raise
much more corn and other food prod
ucts We can produce too much cot
ton, but can never make more corn
and other grain than is needed.
A big acreage in oats and then a
larger corn crop next spring would
save the farmers of Georgia hundreds
of thousands of dollars and help the
situation immensely.

For Old 0ffenSes.

In noting that another former
Georgian has entered upon the ser
vice of a sentence at the state prison
farm for a crime committed many
years ago the Savannah Press says:
1T seems that Georgia is build
ing up something of reputation
for convicting men for their mis-
deeds of the long ago. There are
several men now serving SEN
fences for crimes committed in
the distant past.
This newest addition to the list
is J. M. Hogg, who twenty years
since killed a man near Buena
Vista. Hogg ran away, but was
induced from a desire to see anew
the scenes of his early manhood
to return to the vicinity of the
killing. He was arrested, and has
just been tried, receiving a SEN
tence of two years on the state
farm. There have been some very
famous cases in Georgia within the
past few years of men who have
been vonvicted of crimes that were
so old they must have thought
people had forgotten about them"
What the Press says is true. We
happen to know of one instance
where a negro who was serving a
life sentence for murder escaped
many years ago into Florida. Not
long ago he was converted, and re-
turned to the Georgia town where
he was sentenced to surrender him
self. Nobody knew him. His crime
lad been forgotten. He had some
difficulty convincing the sheriff he
vas a fugitive, and that officer wait
I'd a day or two before he would
AXE the old man into custody. He
S now in the Georgia penitentiary,
o which he voluntarily returned at
he behest of his conscience after
religion.

U. D. C. OPPOSED TO PENSIONS
Southern Soldiers Should Not Accept
Bounty From Government. Mrs.
Whites Annual Report.

NEW ORLEANS.-Th first bust
ness session of the United Daughters
of the Confederacy n convention
here was held this morning when
the committee on credentials made
its report and the delegates listened
to the reading of the annual report.
About 1000 members were added
to the ranks of the United Daughters
of the Confedcracy during the last
twelve months, and soon new state
division-Colorado to be brought
into the organization.
In speaking of the failure Of pass
age of a resolution at the Chattanoo-
ga G. A. r. encampment, providing
for the government giving funds to
keep up confederate veterans homes,
Mrs. Alexander R. White, president
general of the Daughters, said:
Your president-general asks this
convention and members OF the U. d.
c.. to discourage any movement to-
wards securing pensions from the
United States government and to re-
quest the United Confederate veter-
ans not to ask for them. The great
majority of our veterans would not
accept these pensions, but our state
pensions are small, many of our vet
Grams are needy and some might be
tempted, with visions of comfort, to
ask for these pensions. Let US insist
they be not led astray by this mirage,
pledging them we will do more for
them than we have ever done. Let
us save them and the South from
this humiliation"
