Some Insurance
Companies 0. K

Atlanta, June 19-Despite the
unusual lumber of failures in home
companies in Georgia during the
past few years, both insurance and
life, this state continues to be one
of the best in the union for pro-
perly managed investme nts. The
recent publication of a list of
companies which lost money for
stockholders and investors and
sometimes for policy holders,
shows that the failures were not
due to any depression or unfavor-
able circumstances in Georgia, but
simply to alleged Encouragement
in the companies, and more re-
Gently to failure on the part of
the authorities in charge to en-
force the provisions for state
supervision outlined in the new
insurance laws. At this time a
movements on foot to separate the
Office of insurance commissioner
and put at its head a man who has
the technical knowledge and ex-
ecutive ability to see that the pro-
visions are enforced.
In the meantime the records of
the properly managed companies
doing business in this state and of
the organizations which have big
capital invested within Georgia's
borders, show that general con-
ditions, despite the war, are as
in any state in the south and east,
and good deal better than some

the production of munitions is

they make hand-genades and high

of women at work on lathes,

Perfectly Reasonable

Atlanta, June 17.-'I'm glad
to be in Atlanta" said DR.. Will
balm Mueller, the new imperial
German consul to Atlanta, who
arrived yesterday. He was per-
fectly willing to chat about
America and the south and the
beauties of Peachtree, but de-
clined. to have anything to say
about the war, unless the face
tious mind chose to see a bear
ing on that subject in the remark
above quoted.
DR.. Muller succeeds DIR. Zoep-
fel Quellenstein, who has been
transferred to the far west. DIR.
Mueller, who derives his title
from being a doctor of laws, was
consul in Japan for seventeen
years, but was recalled when
Japan took sides in the European
conflict. and it was while enroute
back toward home that he receiv-
ed a summons to New York,
where negotiations carried him
for brief periods as consul to
Philadelphia, Seattle and thence
to Atlanta.

French Lose
Captured Trenches

Paris, June 14.-The French war
office this afternoon gave out this
statement:
There is nothing of real import
ance to add to the announcement
given out last night. Belgian troops
threw a battalion over the east bank
of the User, south of the railroad
bridge going to Dixmude and orea-
nized themselves on the ground
thus gained. They destroyed a
blockhouse of the enemy in the vi.
cinity of the Chateau of Dixmude.
In the sector north of Arras yes.
terday saw the development of va
rious infantry actions. At the end
of the day one of these advances
made US masters of German work
to the east of Lorette. Another en-
eagement resulted in our losing, af-
ter a violent bombardment, a portion
of the trenches occupied by us dur
ing the afternoon at a point to the
north of the sugar refinery O f
Souchez
There has been nothing to report
from the remainder of the front"

Preparing Teachers
For Georgia

Atlanta, June II. The Geor-
gia State Board of Education,
through Superintendent M. l..
Britain, has announced that the
teachers course at Brenau Col
lege, Gainesville, has been off
cially approved, and that gradu-
ates of the college who are pre-
pairing to teach will hereafter re-
ceive the state teachers license
with their diplomas.
This announcement will be of
particular interest in Georgia
educational circles, and through
out the south. Brenau college,
which has always laid much
stress on it's special course for
teachers, recently asked the state
board to inspect the course with
a view to accepting the Brenau
diploma as an evidence of ability
to teach. DR.. H. w. Odom, of
the University of Georgia, was
appointed to go over the course
of study. and a few days ago he
made the favorable recommen-
dations.
Coincident with this, radical
changes are announced in the
regular curculum at Brenau,
which will raise the college to a
still higher position. The con-
servatory, which has heretofore
been operated jointly with the
college department, has been
chartered as a separate institu-
ton. and the scope of it's work
has been materially enlarged.
The preparatory department has
been abolished.

To incorporate Manufacturers

Atlanta, June 1O.-The Geor-
gia Manufacturers Association,
formed for the mutual better
ment of manufacturers and gen.
eral business conditions through
out the state has filed formal ap-
plication for charter here. The
membership of the organization
includes the leading manufacture
ers in practically every city and
section of Georgia. The incor.
porators are H. A. Dean, Oscar
Elsas. w. H. Glenn, H. w. Sal.
mon and W. w. Horne, all promi-
nently known in the business
world.
One of the main purposes of
the establishment of this organi-
zation, it is stated, is to secureea
medium through which theTi B
of the manufacturer can reach
the public, and aid in helping the
public to reach true and fair
conception of the industrial ques-
tions that arise between capital
and labor.
The headquarters of the asso-
citation is already established in
the Chamber of Commerce build
ing here, with Mr.. Horne as
secretary. One of the things
the association has already advo-
Gated in Georgia is a complete
rest this summer from legisla-
tive enactments and exactions
directed toward the regulation"
of business.

New Highway Proposed
Savannah To Albany
To Be Fed byExisting North
and South Highways
Across State

Albany, Ca, June Icon
siderable interest is developing in
a proposal to promote the build
ing of an east-west highway
through the lower section of the
state to extend from Savannah to
Albany and having branches north
and south at different points.
1t is pointed out that all the
best roads-the trunk roads, which
have been most carefully built and
are maintained by the various
counties through which they pass
run north and south. While some
good east-and-west roads are found
between Savannah and the south
western section of the state, there
is no continuous graded highway,
and there is consequently little
automobile travel between the two
sections.
Triton, DELLA, Fitzgerald and
Sylvester are manifesting particu-
lar interest in the proposed high
way, and it is probable that an
effort will be made in the course
of the next few weeks to call a
meeting at some convenient point
for the purpose of effecting an
organization. There is already
splendid graded road from Albany
to Sylvester, and The county also
has some good roads that would be
included in the project. Through
much of the proposed route, how
ever, the roads are poor, and it
would be necessary to create some
live good roads sentiment in sew
eral counties before it would be
possible to assure the success of
the project. Such road as is pro-
posed is badly needed, and it would
be mutually advantageous to both
the eastern and western sections
OF south Georgia.

How Abnormal
PreSsureS Occurs.

The human body is a perfect
machine, complete within itself
for all the work imposed upon
it to live; it is automatic, self
adjusting, self regulating, an
even to an extent self restora-
tive when it undergoes damage
from bad usage or violence. So
long as it's seperate parts are
each in proper form and adjust
ment it requires nothing but
good food, fresh air, prope r
exercise, mental equipoise, rest
and cleanliness to keep going,
ordinarily. in comfort and
strength for about an eighty
years. journey from the cradle
to the grave.
But the body, like all machines
does get out Of repair.
Why?
Because its constituent parts
get out of mechanical order just
as happens in the case Of every
other machine. There are about
two hundred separate bones in
the body, and most of these are
not rigidly joined as the support
ing parts of another machine are,
but are freely movable one upon
the other. With such marvellous
range of motion it is not sur
prising tn at the machine
goes to rack at times and that
the local parts gets out of ad-
justment.
