child labor abuses Is directly traceable
to the liquor traf1c.
Drink" he says, has impaired or

fact that the natural provider has lost

The Savannah River.

No one will take seriously the sug-
gestion OF a correspondent of the At
lanta Constitution that there is
legend" to the effect that the Savan-
nah river was so named because an
Indian chief asked somebody to Save
Anna" his daughter, who had fallen
from boat into the river But the re-
currence of the puerile joke in the
form of the suggestion gives occasion
to say that the world Savannah" is a
very old one, and philologists tracing
ii to its origin go back to ancient
Greek through old Spanish. The Eng
lish meaning of the word, spelled with
out the final H. is a tract of level
land covered with vegetation, usually
grass or reeds, and void of trees or
with trees occurring only occasion
ally. From the savannas along its
banks the river was named In the
level, grassy savanna is observed some
semblance to a sheet" which was
