SKINNY Gets TWO
YEARS FOR THEFT
OF TWO CART WHEELS

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 24.-Ten years
for stealing five dollars is the sentence
meted out to A. F. Aikens. alias
|"Skin'ny," who was convicted of higa-
way robbery in the superior court.
Tyo years for each dollar he stole
seems to be pretty heavy but evidence
was introduced at the trial tending to
show that Aikens is a professional
hold-up man and that he is at the head
of gang which has given the police
a great deal of trouble
The police say they have known OF
crimes he has committed before, but
that they could never get the kind of
evidence that would convict. The
crime for which Aikens was convicted
was the holding up of countryman, B.
s Hill, on Decatur street in Novem-
Der. Hill testified that Aikens halted
him with a knife and threatened to cut
him into shreds if he didn't turn over
his purse
Judge Hill in pronouncing sentenca,
declared that all hold-up men con
victed in his court from now on would
get the same severe treatment

selected singers from all parts of Gui-

"HEORIES concerning the origin OF
the air of Yankee Doodle have
been almost as numerous as those
touching the birthplace of Homer.
BY some the tune is said to have ap-
peared in America about the time the
battle of Bunker Hill was fought. In
that battle, it appears. the Americans
learned it of the English, but nobody had
any idea whence the English obtained it.
One of the most interesting and, II IS
thought, the latest speculation in this re-
gard comes from Germany 1t IS coll
tended that the tune originally pertaiaed
to a country dance of the district of the
former provinces OF kur-Hesse. thai L.
air was also played as a military. march
by bands of Hessian troops during the
war of the revolution
In studying the dances of the
.-Schwalm'' the German authority was
struck by their similarity in form aad
rhythm to Yankee Doodle. 1t is as
sumed that. as many of the Hessi.tiis
who served in America were recrui.el in
this district, they carried Yankee
Doodle with them.
Yet while this theory may be correct
as to the melody, it does not convincingly
explain its Introduction into America.
for the air was, according to other
authorities, played here before the Hes
sion troops came
One authority has identified the tune
as the national air of the Basques,
people whose origin is unknown. Whether
this identification is convincing may be n
question, but the theory is at least inter-
esting.
Years ago an American was visiting the
city of San Sebastian. the seaport capi-
tai of Guipuzcoa. He made the ac-
uuaintance of one Guehille, the vice
consul of the United States. Senor
