There has been a great deal of ex-
perimenting on the part OF the big
designers Of gowns and hats in Paris
to stop the reproduction of their mod
els by the Wholesale In the shops
They think now that fabric hats will
protect them to some extent. For
they make hats Of taffeta or other
fabrics In their own workrooms, to
the measure OF their customers heads,
and hence these h4ts are not seen
until they are worn by their owner.
The habit has always been to have
straw hats made up and on exhibition.

NEGRO MOSQUITO BAIT TO WIN A PROMOTION
Doctors in Panama Find EniQue
Method of Locating the Source of
Malaria in Canal Zone.

Lieutenant Colonel William NJ. ST.
bert, U. S. A, the builder of the Ga
tun locks. the Gatun dam, the break
water at Colon harbor, and the eXca-
walton of the channel between the Ga
tun locks and the Atlantic ocean, has
written an interesting article on the
Panama canal, his first contribution
on the subject for the National
Graphic society at Washington, D. C.
In his article Colonel Sibert says:
"In 1912 Gatun had probably the
greatest influx of malarial mosqui-
toes in its history. The sanitary de-
partment determined to locate all the
breeding places for mosquitoes near
Gatun, catch mosquitoes at each
place, and, after painting them, turn
them loose and determine from the
color of the mosquitoes caught in Ga
tun from what point they came. l
went down there one morning to see
HOW tu6y were Caught anu pellnICb
Mosquito bars, tied up at the bottom,
were suspended from limbs. They had
thousands of mosquitoes in them
ready to be sprayed with colored
liquid, and the sanitary inspector was
asked how he caught them. He said:
I'VE have a more scientific way, but
this had to be done in hurry. We
simply let the mosquito bar down, as
you would open a bed, left one side
of it open and put Jamaica negro in
there for bait" AS soon as the mos
quito bar was full the bait was re-
moved and the end tied up. l saw
Jamaica negro standing there. John,
were you the bait in that bar?' l
asked, and he replied: Yes, boss;
that is the easiest money 1 ever
earned-ten cents an hour for sitting
there and doing nothing but just in
viting the mosquitoes in.

-Four Sticks of Dynamite Found Di-
rectly Beneath Secretary Hcus-
toms Office.

WASHINGTON, D. - Several
hundred clerks and officials fed in
fright from their Offices in the depart
ment of agriculture when Daniel v.
Jauch, a Waterman, ran through the
corridors shouting that the building
was about to be destroyed by dyna-
mite.
Led by Jauch, several of the cooler
headed department officials ran to the
basement, where they found four
sticks of dynamite on which the fuses
had been burned out. Apparently an
explosion had been ayerted because
the fuses had been damned so tightly
into the decorating caps that the fire
was extinguished.
Then came hurried sequel.
Jauch, who had suffered severe in
juries in the Philippines several years
ago. was taken to a police station.
Later the police announced he had
admitted that he himself placed the
explosives. Department officials say
they believe the Waterman intended
to- discover the dynamite before it
could do harm, hoping to win promo
ton for heroism.
The dynamite had been placed di-
rectly beneath the office of Secretary
Houston. The Secretary was out of
town, but Immediately across the cor
ridor from his Office Assistant Secre-
tary Galloway and several other Of
ficials we're working.
Jauch has been employed for five
years in the department.
Frequently he has been under
treatment of physicians and has been
compelled to take several leaves of
absence. The police said Jauch told
them that he purchased the dyna-
mite in Springfield, o.

GEORGIA MUST BORROW TO PAY

states boosted prosperity, is getting
deeper and deeper in debt, and will
have to borrow money to pay the
mileage and per diem of the mem

mission of no less an authority than
Governor John NJ. Slaton in a letter

them to hold down expenses as much
as possible

the deficit is greater this year than
ever before, Notwithstanding the fact
that last years appropriation bill
carried a smaller excess of expendi-
lures over revenue than the appro-
priation bills for the two years i'm

has offered annually a five-dollar
gold piece to the student of the Third
District Agricultural and Mechanical
school at Americas making the best

Thirty-six students composed the
class making the contest, and it has
been one of the most spirited contests
of the year.
This time the winner is Sumter

young son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. +

honorable mention, while Worth
Perry of Cordele, stands second in

Styles Change, and Women May Be-

Manufacturers of cloaks, suits and
skirts, in convention assembled at
Cleveland, the other day were as
sured by their president that femi-
nine fashions were soon to change
for the better and that next fall
in the matter of clothes, at least
men need not be ashamed of their
wives.
That is well, remarks the Chicago
Record Herald, "but where is the as
surance, that wives will not be
ashamed of their husbands? A few
months ago men were large of limb.
broad and husky of shoulder. Look
at them now-narrow chests, puny
shoulders, spider legs. Last fail
every woman knew her husbands
physical framework, but every other
woman didn't. Today, however, ali
claims to being the mate of an ath-
lete and a Hercules must, in SO cases
out Of 100, go by the board. Fraud,
on general principles, is doubtless to
be frowned on, but the fraud that al
lows a presumption Of comeliness and
strength may be in part condoned.
We await the assembling of some
other convention which shall retore
to disillusioned womankind the sub
stantial hero of yesteryear."

And If You Can't Say and Do the
Following Foolish Things You
Will Be Branded As One.

you a Moron? Don't answer indig-
nantly or hastily, for maybe you are.
First read this over quietly: "a
little dog ran up the street. 1t had
brown, curly hair, short legs and a
long tail" Now lay down the paper
and repeat it aloud.
If you said it right, all well
enough, but if you said it wrong,
you're Moron" and there's no use
fussing about it. 1t is a new test
made by the psychologists. II you
said the dog had curly legs and a
brown tail you are so per cent. off
in mental efficiency,
Try another test. Point to your
nose, then your eyes, then your ears,
then your mouth. Do it quickly. If
you stuck your fingers in your mouth

cent. in the grading.
