HUNTING FOR JUDGES
IN A BABY SHOW

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. Remember
ing that "the female of the species is
more deadly than the male" the people
in charge of the Better Babies Show
this fall are wondering where they will
find three people brave enough to be
willing to act as the judges in the con-
test.
To be the superlative baby in beauty
and health at a show where the finest
babies in Georgia are gathered to-
gether, will be big honor, for Georgia
yields the palm to no state in the
matter of baby raising, but to be the
Judge who turns down some several
thousand mothers and says, mo, ma
dam, am sorry, but your baby isn't as
fine a baby as Mrs. JONES'" is going
to require a type of courage that will
lie hard to find.
Every mother naturally believes that
her baby is the finest in the whole
world, and the mere man who opposes
that opinion whether he he Judge or
not, is going to find himself in peck
OF trouble.

SODA JERkER FINED
FOR BOOT LtGG|NG

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 27.-Many jokes
about circumstantial evidence were re-
called to mind here yesterday when
Faul HaIacock, soda jerker," was
convicted and fined on the charge of
being bootlegging blind tiger. Paul
insisted to the last that he was simply
ali example of how misleading circum-
stantial evidence can be.
Here is the evidence: A policeman
saw Paul accept a 81 bill from man,
aid saw the man accept at the same
time nd put in his pocket pint bottle
of whiskey.
Now, what Paul said was that he
was simply trying to change some
money for the man, and that the man
vas kindly holding the whiskey for
him so that his hands could be free to
make the change. Yet the judge would
rot be convinced

BALKAN STATES
ARE SPOTLIGHT
FOR ALL SIDES.

LONDON, Oct. 27.-The optimism OF
LO1don regarding the outcome of the
Balkan conflict is colored by reports of
the determined Serbian resistance and
difficulties the invaders are meeting,
still the conviction is yielded that it
will take something in the nature of a
miracle to avert disaster for Serbia.
The description of Lord Lanstowne
concerning the Macedonian campaign
il the House of Lords yesterday was
regarded as an indication that the as
sistance which the Allies have been
able to give Serbia is not sufficient to
meet her needs. The appeal of the
Serbian premier to England to send
troops as soon as possible intimates
that the resistance is nearing the last
stage.
The Teutonic and Bulgarian forces
are within twenty miles of each other.
They are advancing southwest and
southeast of Belgrade on a hundred
mile front, and twenty-five to forty
miles south of the Danube river.
The Germans hold the first fifty
miles of the Belgrade -Nish- -Saloniki
railroad, the Serbians the next fifty,
the Bulgarians the next hundred, and
the French the last fifty to the Greek
border.
No details of the reported re-capture
of Veles by the Serbians has been re-
ceived. The dispatches continue to
describe the intense resistance of the
Serbians.
At Uskup only 500 Serbians were
taken prisoners, while the others
fought until their death
The drive of Field Marshal Won Hin
denberg on Dvinsk has not taken the
Russian defenses. South of Pripet the
Austrians are struggling to gain the
iEiative. The situation is not mater
tally changed ON other fronts.

Baltimore, Md, June 25-RevleW- ing. the business conditions through out the South with special reference to industrial activities, the Manu- facturers Record of this week gives the following striking facts:
 With the Newport 'Nsws Shipbulla- ing & Drydock company, Newport News, Va, the largest shipyard in America, having under contract be- tween $20,000,0OO and $25,00O,00O of work ana employing $500 hands, or 20 per cent, more than last year, and the Maryland Steel company at Spar rows Point, Md, having under con tract nine big steam ships to cost be- tween s$4,5OO,000 and $$5,O00,000 and now employing 240O men and expect ing to add 300 more shortly, the South is taking a leading part in the remarkable revival in shipbuilding in this country, duo to the European war. Special reports to the Manu- lecturers Record show that, other shipyards throughout the country are equally as crowded, and some have work enough in sight to keep them busy for several years. Even Eng fish firms are now negotiating to have ships built in this country, so rushed are foreign yards with naval work. A new shipyard, to be capi- talized at about $4,O0O,O00, is being organized by Eastern shipbuilders for Mobile, and a plant capable of building ships of considerable size is l to be established at Galveston.
 Ern,n Ono Cf tho 1oru nil fia1dc If central Oklahoma comes the report that "it is at the present time one of the busiest business spots in the United States and is al present pro- ducing about 300,00O barrels day. In that immediate district IA power plants, representing a. cost of about $3,00O,0O0, have been completed in connection with these oil operations, and large number of pumping sta-
 tions are being constructed at cost
 of about $70,000 each. The amount of
 crude oil reported as carried there in
 steel tank storage is 3O,0oO,O0O bar
 rels. There are in that vicinity 300
 or 600 of these tanks, each having a lcapacity of 55,000 barrels, while sev-
 eral hundred more are under con- struction, the total cost of the steel
 tanks now in use in this field and
 those in course of construction being
 about $11 100000.
 The wide diversity of the industrial
 activities seen in the South at pres
 ent, where the tendency to new busi-
 ness operations is pronounced, is ip-
 dicated by few of the leading con cerns reported during the week. A
 traction company in West Virginia is
 planning to build S500,O00 electric power station. The Pennsylvania

New York capitalists have organized a company with capitalization of $450,000 to build at NKingsport, Tenn, plant for manufacturing tanning extracts. A thread mill at Spray, N. C., is having plans prepared for $500,O00 addition to it's plant. A Wheeling QW. Va.) steel and iron company will hold a meeting next week to authorize an issue of $5,000,000 of bonds to be ex- pended in improvements and ex- tensions. IA West Point (Ga.) mill expects to let contract next week for enlargeme ents of it's plant to cost about $500,000.

Britt Adams of thel Sheridan Ifead- light does not seem to place much confidence in the investigation of conditions at the state convict farm. He says, in referring to investiga- tons: "Yet having been fooled so often, we have lost faith in investiga- tors. as well as those whose records they investigate, as rule." It is to be regretted that the Headlight man is justified in his opinion, but it is not difficult to recall investigations had for the sole purpose, apparently, of spreading a coating of kalsomine over somebody or some thing that needed it badly.

CRIME AND wOMEN's DRESS.

When the chiefs of police of the country were holding session in Cln- cinnati a short time ago to discuss problems of criminology and other questions related to the business of maintaining public order, one of the topics that aroused great amount of interest among the guardians or the peace" was that of feminjne at tire.
 Decollete gowns and diaphonous skirts, viewed in the light of the criminologist, are not nearly so at tractive, especially the skirts, as when viewed on Main street in the ligat of the setting sun. That they have an appreciable effect upon crime, or more particularly, upon morality must be true. unless we are willing to suppose that the police chiefs of the country, gathered for a ccrious object, would discuss such a topic for the purpose of setting them selves right on the question of the latest styles, like convention of ladies' tailors.
 That feminine styles are made to please the men and that women dress tc suit masculine admirers are say ings as old and out-of-date as water fall curls and hips, but not nearly as false,- asserts the Rochester, (N. Y.) Union and Advertiser. And that style $ should be designed and, of course, worn, to appeal to the beast in man is a compliment neither to the retir- ing modesty and nice sensibility of the fair sex nor to the intelligence of tha other. Continuing, the Adver- tiser observes:
 one of the oldest features of the whole question is that these gowns ds signed to display rather than to conceal or protect, are worn as frequently by women of high moral character as by those whose coarse natures lay them open to charges oi immortality; and this again is nc compliment to the intellig ence Of ths finer women, for it must be admitted ibat the reason that the thing seems to be so out of joint is that the { vulgar person is more wide awake to the real meaning behind her mode o1 attire than her more cultured sister whose innocence has a smack ol ignOrance.
 Ut is true that it is thoughtlessness and not intent to arouse the worst IT men which leads the majority o1 women fo invest themselves in the aarb that So aroused the ire of th' chiefs Of police, but it is also true sfkat c6felessness of moral law is 5 ha afaly lfss rt ahensible than ignor' <I s Fl f fS3u- mad law is excusabfe.
