WORLDS. SUPREME PROBLEM
Economic Waste Continues
Despite Scientific Progress

William Baxter Owen issues a book
called THE Humanities In the Education
of the Future" says the New York Amer
lean. He discusses problems that touch
the deep of life, such as the follow
ing:
Every serious inquiry into the prin-
ciples and forces of nature may Justly
arouse the expectation of benefit. We
have also to note that .he most COM
plete control and use of natural law by
man is at present In the simpler scieno es.
while the more difficult and complicated
sciences promise the most valuable re-
suits.
we can readily see how important
and practical these fields of knowledge
will be, when we remember how much
we depend even upon cur superficial pur-
suit of such arts as anirnal domestication,
and that economic cultivation Of plants
which we call agriculture and horticul-
ture.
Then as to the mass of applied know1-
edge, even in the field OF physics. the
greater part of 1t Is applied in so lin
tied a way that the benefits are confined
to comparatively few. Take so simple a
matter as ventilation-what an advance
we should have IL all that scientific doc
tors know We're universally applied. In
the arts of life, where we get our com
fort, and where our wants are supplied
in building, plumbing, farming, mining,
cookirg-we live and work On plane far
below what is possible in the present
state of knowledge.
Economic waste is appalling-not
merely the waste of prodigal extrava-
gance, or of ruinous competition, but
also the waste by fire, by flood. by forest
denudation. Some people know better;
the masses do not. Then in matters more
serious and vital-in the matter of food
of biological laws involved in reproduc
ton, of sanitation and the prevention
on the lips of science which would be
of vital Importance to the world.
THE failure of science to relieve the
| needs of life is of course most conspicu-

SLATON DENIES
THREAT To USE
STATE MILITIA

Governor Slaton emphatically
branded as false and ridiculous" a
story printed in an Atlanta newspa-
per Tuesday = tie effect that he had
threatened TO call out the State mill
tia to stop certain work on the streets
Of Atlanta, In the event the work yss
not stopped otherwise.
When the Governor found that the
work Of widening the so-called bot
tie neck" in Peachtree street was pro-
ceeding without his approval, he
called upon the city authorities TO
explain themselves.
THE act OF 1910 authorizing the
widening of Peachtree street empow-
ers the Governor to cede for street
purposes certain portions OF the Ex-
ecutive Mansion grounds" said the
Governor.
Nothing could be done there ex-
cept upon the terms the Governor laid
down. MY duty first is to the state
of Georgia-and not to the city OF
Atlanta. When / saw that the city
authorities were invading the Execu-
tive grounds without my approval,
even TO the cutting down OF trees, |
stopped them.
Mistake Is Admitted.
Il then called upon the city 10
show why and how the proposed work
was to b. done. The City Attorney
came TO my office and admitted that
mistake had been made. and that
the city was proceeding without Fix
ecutive authority.
Upon examination OF the plans and
biueprints, and upon consulting with
the Attorney General, ] finally APP
proved the plans. with some slight
moditicat =, and the work Will now
proceed.
1T was not right, either TO the City
OF Atlanta or the State OF Georgia. to
permit this work to so forward ille-
galiy. did not propose that II
should 20 forward that way. And It
didn't go forward that way, more
over
THE whole matter was question
of doing thing right against doing
II wrong.

raging al the gates Of Torreon for
eight hours The grand assault by
the Constitutionalist began shortly
before daybreak.
The victory is with tae army OF
General villa thus far and the fall
of Torreon is believed imminent, The
Federal achievements sent out from
Torreon to help the troops attempt
ing to hold Gomez Palacio have been
driven back in utter rout
The Constitutionalists are storm
ing Torreon under cover Of a heavy
artillery fire directed by General
Felipe Angeles, Minister of War in

believed that more than 1,5O0 have
been killed and wounded since the
battle began, though accurate figures
are impossible al this time. Several
of the Federal trenches have been
taken.
RebsIs Moved Down.
The Constituencies suffered
heavy losses when they made fu-
rious attack on the retreating Fed
erals as they crossed the N9.zas River
to get behind the fortiiicatiOns or Tor
reon. Trying to flank General Argu-
medo's troops, the rebels were check
ed by a heavy fire from machine
guns stationed on the south bank OF
the river,
More than 300 rebels were moved
down at this point. The Federals got
across with slight loss.
Heavy smoke could be seen aris-
ing from Torreon this morning. 1t
Is believed several buildings were set
afire there by rebel shells. The Con-
stitutionalists are using an explosive
shell that causes great execution.

POLICEMEN KILL
BEAR IN GRANT
PARK HUNT

Following a night made traditional
revolver shots, horrid growls and
fearful shrieks by a pursued negro,
Dan Carey, Manager of Parks, de-
bated what to do Tuesday with the
carcass Of an entirely defunct grizzly
bear.
The grizzly bear and one of her two
cubs escaped Monday night and made
no end Of trouble before she finally
succumbed to successive volleys of
revolver bullets by a police posse.
When the mother bear got away,
Russell Chapman, a negro attendant
at the zoo, set boldly out in pursuit
He fancied the bear would stand up
on her hind legs and welcome him as
a friend, the same as she was accus-
toned to do at feeding time.

When he reached the bear, how

example Of her crstwhile friend and
mentor, and Chapman, leapng from

far 20 substantiate the Darwinian
theory, began to arouse the neighbor-
hood
Police to Rescue.
He did this SO successfully that by
the time the ferocious pursuer had
gathered the breast pocket of his
trousers with one paw and was reach
ing earnestly for something more suo-
stantial with tho other, a squad Of
police officers and patrolmen. headed
h. Dan Carey, were shooting flash
lights and revolvers at the bear.
This diverted the bear from the
prospects of a midnight lunch. and
she backed away from the tree and set
sail for the cops The revolver shots
then assumed all the dignity a flu

mother bear tiQally went down,
pierced by about 20 bullets
Upward of a hundred shots we're
fired in all, and residents in that
neighborhood were divided as to
whether a riot or only a lynching was
in progress.
Cubs Are Captured.
BY the time the old bear had been
ushered ntc the Happy Hunting
Grounds, the other cub also had fled,
and it was well after daylight Tues
day when the two small bears final
ly were covered and captured.
Mr. Carey had the dead monarch
of the forest skinned and it will later
be mounted by a taXidermist. The
bear weighed $50 pounds. 1t was
caught by Lieut. Col l.. NJ. Brett, of
