Queen Mary and Her
Umbrella InseparabLe

London, Eng, Feb. Rain or shine
queen Mary must have her umbrella,
the habit being so confirmed that she
often feels lost without it indoors.
This popularity has become conspic-
uous through the recent incident at
Norwich where the queen insisted
upon carrying her umprelIa through
q museum whose rules forbid the TAX
ing Of walking sticks or umbrellas
into the picture galleries.
The queen has not been altogether
exempt from criticism for her refusal
to do as other people doc in this re-
speCt. The Socialist papers seized
conservative quarters the queens con
duct is questioned. The Daily Sketch
asks why queen Mary, who is US
Tally so willing to adapt herself to
dispense with her umbrella when she
visited the Norwich museum. She was
willing, the paper points out, TO dis
pense with bOQuets and red carpets,
with bows and speechmaking, since
she tried to keep her identity Sc
cret but the bishop Of Norwich who
accompanied her had to disclose her
identity in order that she could avoid
the rule of parting with her umbrella
and obtain the royal prerogative OF
walking through the museum fully
equipped for the possibility of the
blowing off Of the roof cOinciding
with heavy shower"
No matter what the occasion, unless
it be some very formal official cere-
mony the queen invariably carries a
neatly folded umbrella, despite the
fact that she always drives in a COW
cred carriage and whenever she stops
anywhere a canopy is provided Prln-
cess Mary has the same umbrella
habit as her mother. Queen Victoria
likewise was always seen with a par
asOl or umbrella, but she always had
hers open, and ii was said that il was
lined with chain mail to ward off at

curity for low interest loans" says
Mr.. Hunt in this connection.
But as long as land titles are in
their chaotic shape, as in Georgia.
at least as long as the tracing of titles
is an expensive and arduous process.
we are going to find our path to rural
credits strewn with impediments.
''The Torrens land title system. by
which the State guarantees the title,
eXacting a nominal fee in return, is
the sensible remedy. At this very
time | have in my employ a lawyer
who has been for the past week en-
deavoring to find out how stands the
title to plantation in my county,
and he daily answers my impatient
inquiries, that he has not yet finished
the search. When he shall finally
present me with a chain of title, all
the work done will serve me alone.
Should the owner desire to borrow of
a loan company in Macon or Atlanta,
another lawyer would duplicate the
work of him l pay. And this waste
of human labor has gone on with no
book in which to file copies of chains
of title duplicated and repeated from
y y
Each search of titles costs the bor-
rover an attorneys fee, which, when
added to the lowest rate of interest,
causes the Georgia land owner to pay
a higher rate for money borrowed
than any economist can afford.
ITO obtain money on land at low
rate of interest, perfect titles must
first be exhibited to the lender. In
Georgia a truly perfect title is hard
indeed to find.
"Why must Georgia lag behind our
sister State of North Carolina, and
even the so-called conservative
Northern States, which have written
the Torrens land title system into the
codes?"
The wisdom of adopting in Georgia
the so-called "Torrens system" of
registering land titles has been agi-
tated in the Legislature, but nothing
so far has come of it. 1t is under
stood that this summer, however, a
well-known and influential South
Georgia member will introduce a bill
looking TO it's adoption in this State,
and he thinks he has a good chance
to pass the mea sure, moreover!
representative Howard Ennis, Of
Baldwin County, is in Atlanta for a
few days. He is district deputy grand
exalted ruler of the Elks for North
Georgia, and his visit here is in off,
cial connection with that order, and
entirely devoid of political signifi-
canoe.
Mr.. Ennis already has announced
his candidacy for reelection to the
House, and likely will have no oppo-
sition. His present term OF service is
only half over. but he has established
a well deserved reputation for sanity
and rational conservatism in the
House. and his return to the next

The more Secretary of State Phil
Cook pores over the blue sky" law
passed by the Legislature last year,
the better he likes it and the more
sure he becomes that it was not
enacted a day too soon. And, Incl
dentally, it may be mentioned that
the blue sky" law has kept the Sec
rotary from fair to middling busy
thus far!
This law, while as yet in a mea-
sure imperfect, as new and expert
mental laws generally are" said the
Secretary to-day, still is, in my opin-
ion, one of the very best and sanest
laws ever passed by a Georgia Cen
eral Assembly. I understand that its
author, Representative Wohlwender,
of Muscogee, intends proposing some
necessary amendments during the
summer session of the Legislature
ahead, and so / presume the law will
be perfected then.
LAS for myself. | think l had little
Idea of the many get rich-q quick
schemes in operation in Georgia,
when this law was passed. l have
been literally swamped with petitions
for new ones, even with the law on
the statute books, where all promot-
ers may read it in advance of their
efforts to operate, Now, under this
new law. it is impossible, unless lille
gally undertaken, to get by in Geor-
gia with a swindling stock sale
scheme of any nature.
THE blue sky law is pretty strict.
1t makes it extremely dangerous for
]. Rufus Wallingfords, and their ilk.
to ply their questionable trades in
Georgia.
And not only that, it has had the
happy effect of Strengthening out and
readjusting some phases of perfectly
legitimate business in Georgia. that,
for one reason and another had got
ten into the wrong rut."
A great deal has been spoken and
written in Georgia lately concerning
rural credits and kindred subjects.
Not many laymen know what rural
credits" means, and not many bank
ers take the trouble to explain or
comment upon the same.
Mr. W. B. Hunt, of Eatonton. a
former president of the Georgia Bank
ers Association and the chairman of
the rural credits committee of the
State Chamber of Commerce. talks
interestingly of the present method
of registering land titles, and the
effect it has upon banking and f1nan-
cial transactions in general
Because of the ban upon land as
collateral. the farmer usually pays
a sky scraping interest rate. As a
matter of fact, since land is the basis
Of all values, it should under proper
conditions furnish a gilt-edged Sc
