Solicitors Will Draw Fees

Atlanta, Ga. July 30.-Solicitor
generals throughout Georgia will
continue to draw their fees no
matter how many there may be
unless some thing extraordinary
happens between now and the
close of the legislature. The
house yesterday afternoon de-
feated the bill to put them on a
salary system, despite ardent elo-
Quence by supporters of the bill.
The house and senate seem
badly split this week over the
failure of one branch to hasten
work on bills passed by the other.
The house has retaliated on the
senate by considering a resolu-
ton which will boycott" senate
bills, in return for a similian reso-
luton by the senate passed last
Tuesday.
The house has signifed its in
tention of getting down to real
business by picking out eighteen
of the most important bills be-
fore it and setting them as special
orders, which means they cannot
be sidetracked.

I'm The Happiest
Woman In France

Paris, July 29-Madame Hen
riette CailIaux held reception at
her home today for friends who
called to congratulate her upon her
acquittal of the murder of CASTOR
Calmette, editor of LeFigaro.
Smiling happily, her appearance
today was in marked contrast with
that when she was on trial.
Political supporters of Joseph
Caillaux, her husband and former
Premier, called to pay their re-
spects to their leader.
The war crisis served to prevent
the rioting that has been expected
to follow the trials conclusion.
Republican guards patrolled many
streets, but their presence was
practically useless.
''I'm the happiest woman in
France" SAID Madame CalIIaux,
when she could spare a moment
from her friends. Il had no doubt
that l would be acquitted, but of
course, am glad that the jury de-
cided so promptly,
Madame Caillaux will leave to-
night for a stay in the country,
where she expects to recover soon
from the strain she suffered during
the trial.

HAPPINESS FOR THE AGED
Many Ways by Which Those About
Thsm May Bring Pleasure Into
Their Lives.

A medical authority is of the opin-
ion that the aged should receive from
the physician and from the humani-
tartan q sympathy and support that
will help and cheer them. The old
man should be induced to improve his
appearance. His sense Of pride should
be stimulated. Those around him
should, without too great a departure
from actual truth. tell him how young
he looks. An effort should be made
to keep his mind pleasantly employed.
The tonic effect of local happening,
which engages the attention of the
community. on the aged who are
reused to q stronger interest in cur
rent affairs is often quite salutary.
They thus have something to think
about, to talk about They are taken
away from the past and again are in
the living present. The aged woman
rarely becomes as gloomy and de-
pressed as the old man. She has q
place in the activities Of the house
hold which can never be a part Of a
mans life. When through age a
mans occupation is gone, 1t is diff
cult for him to adjust himself to the
idleness that follows and to make that
leisure a source of happiness rather
than of unavailing regret.
