GEORGIA LAW MAKERS
LOAF ON BLUE MONDAY"

Atlanta, July 1.-THE numerous
constitutional amendments which
were to have been discussed by the
house of representatives yesterday are

teTing schools and colleges to permit
the granting of charters for more than
twenty years. The bill was passed.

under way.

YOUNG MAN OVERHEARS BEST GIRL MAKING
DATE-GETS ANGRY-NOW WANTS ADVICE

The human mind has a remarkable
way of confusing processes and re-
suits. Deceit, evasion, concealment
and subterfuge are practiced by many
persons as legitimate methods so long
as they bring about desired results.
To put it over" another is to such
persons a proof of their own clever
ness.
The following naive recital of a
common, or vulgar, intrigue involves
three persons. The ethics of the case
is of the vague and blurred quality
to be found in the average moving
picture story. No doubt each party
concerned justifies his own conduct
in his own mind But to the tale:
