Money From Home.

William Lewis. Of Barrecksvtlle. a
boarding house keeper, made q com.

FRANK GOT ALL HIS
RIGHTS SAYS BRIEF
State Of Georgia Cites U. S.
Supreme Court Decisions
To Uphold Point.

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 23.--sAsserting
the right to every State of the Union
to make and enforce its own criminal
laws free from interference or super.
vision by the Federal courts, and cit.
ing the decisions Of the Supreme Court
Of the United States itself to support
this contention. the brief OF the State
OF Georgia in the Leo NJ. Frank ap.
peal to the Supreme Court OF the
United States has been completed
and Attorney General Grice and Solicit.
tor Dorsey have gone to Washington
to Ale the document. The hearing Is
set for today.
More than two hundred decisions
are cited. not only from Georgia and
the United States Supreme Court, but
also from many other States, to up.
hold the contention that the Frank
verdict is legal and should stand.
The principal argument Is that the
absence Of Frank at the verdict, from
waiver by his counsel, was not a de.
NAL to him Of any inherent right, and
in no way injured him. but that at
most II was . mere technical irregu.
larity and that the State OF Georgia
has the sole right to decide what the
effect Of such an irregularity shall be
and whether or not It shall be the
basis for setting aside the verdict.
The briet quotes many United
States decisions to show that "due
process OF law" was not denied to
Frank In allowing his absence at the
rendition OF the verdict.
l With reference to Franks charges
OF disorder at the trial the States
brief calls attention to the fact that
these same chargeS were embodied in
the bill Of exceptions on the appeal to
the Georgia Supreme Court for q new
trial. and that they were passed upon
BY the court when the trial was de.
niad.
The brief lays stress On the fact
that "rebutting proof" was submitted
BY the State, which disproved the
disorder charges by Frank, and that
this important "rebutting proof" Is
not jneluded In the record which Is
submitted TO the Supreme Court OF
the United States by Frank In his ap..
peal for the writ Of habeas corpus. It
10 stated also In the brief that these,
charges OF disorder are greatly ex.
asserated and enlarged BY Frank in
bis petition,
The closing paragraph Of the brief
10 % follows:
I'm view Of the foregoing authori.
ties We respectfully submit that the
Supreme Court Of the United States
should IN this ease determine that on

ENTERTAINS
BELGIAN FRIENDS
Refugee Camp Is Establish.
ed With Military
u Guard.

DIV AssocIated Press)

[ NuNsPEET, The Netherlands. Feb.
22.-The life Of the 5000 Belgian
refugees who are enjoying the hos.
pitality Of the Dutch authorities in a
vast camp here is an. Interesting side
Of the war. The camp. which Is one
Of numerous similar concentration
centers spread about Holland. Is sit.
uated on q sandy plain surrounded by
pine woods renowned for their ell.
cacy In the treatment OF incipient tu-
bereulosis. It consists OF four vii.
lagos formed of capitally arranged
and commodious huts. In which each
family has chamber. All have board
floors and are illuminated with cleo
trio light. In each OF the villages are
large workrooms for different trades,
washheuses. baths and children's
recreation shed, all provided with
heating apparatus, while there are
four school houses and wooden
church capable OF seating about 1000
people. Hospitals for ordinary all.
ments and for infection diseases, a
dispensary and several small libra
rtes. have been either specially erect
ed or established In houses already
standing In the neishborhood and
lent for the purpose by charitable
people.
The camp is under Dutch military
guard and besides the company OF
$50 soldiers small detachment of
county police and Belgian gendarmes
patrols the villages to keep order.
Tools necessary to all the ordinary
trades are provided and several small
huts in each village are. fitted up as
workshops. The men make or mend
all their own shoes and clothes, while
the women do sewing.
It is interesting to observe the pride
the refugees take in the decoration
Of the huts, which are separated by
wide tracta of ground. Each shack
has received its name and the differ.
ences in the two Belgian races-Flem.
ish and Walloon-can be marked at
once by the. Inscriptions in Low
Dutch or French. A small proportion
Of the people are bi.lingual, but 6,0o0
of them speak only Flemish and the
other 5000 only French.
Around the shacks, notwithstand-
ing the sandy soil, some OF the men
have laid out little patches Of garden.
The authorities distribute daily pre-.
miums to those obtaining the best
results in neatness and cultivation.
In one place an excellent imitation
Of the Dutch lion is laid out in sand
and green turf fetched from the
woods.
Four priests and 81 sisters are en-.
gagged In the religious and educational
work of the camp. and besides these
there are men and women among the
refugees who possess a high grade Of
education and who give their services
as readers to their comrades in dis.
tress In the schooirooms after night.
fall. A benevolent resident of the
district also has presented a moving
picture apparatus. for entertainment.
Sickness among the refugees has
been little considering the number OF
people and the circumstances under
which they were brought together In
spot where no drainage or sanitary
arrangements existed before their ar.
rival. Only one adult has died since
the camp was formed and that was a
woman over so years of age. Among
the children. number have died OF
measles.

Modern Greek.

In ancient times, before the con.
quest of Alexander the Great, there
were many differences in the dialects
spoken in different parts of Greece
About $50 B. c. a common dialect,
sometimes called Hellenistic Greek,
arose. This is the Greek OF the New
Testament.
BY 500 A. D. the differences be
tween the spoken and written Ian.
guage had become so great that the
literary language was supplanted by
the spoken. From this time the Ian
guage has been further changed in
grammar. infection. and by the intro
duction of loan words from other Ian.
guages. notably from the Italian and
Turkish.
Since the Greek kingdom was es-
tablished in 1880 there has been a

Women Are Never Color blind.

1t has been found in recent years
that about one man in every twenty is
color blind. One Of the newest dis
coverfes relating to this defect OF
vision is that women are never color
blind, although color blindness Is
hereditary. being passed on from gen

may seem. it has been found that If all

MUCH DEEPER THAN MEMORY
Patient Under Influence of HypnotIsn-
May Be Made to Remember Past
of Another Man.

Our natures have been formed as the
result of hundreds Of thoughts and ac-
tions which have disappeared entirely
from our memories.
But not only do we forget what has
actually happened to us; sometimes
we actually remember what never
happened to as.
George w remembered that he was
present at the battle Of Waterloo, and
this genuine but mistaken belief could
not be distinguished psychologicaIly
from a true memory.
In the same way a patient under
the influence Of hypnotism may be
made to remember another mans
past Are we to suppose that in such
a case there is an actual change OF
identity?
If we had been able to impress upon
Charles Peace all the memories OF
Ruskin. would Charles Peace's per.
sonality have disappeared?
Yet If this seems absurd, we are

The Rector Knows

Rev. Smith Boyd came down to
breakfast with a more or less hollow
look In his face, and his mother, In
specting him keenly, poured his coffee
Immediately. There was the trace of
a twinkle in ier eyes, which were
nevertheless extremely solicitous.
"How is your head?" she inquired.
Rev. Smith Boyd dutifully withdrew
his mind from elsewhere, to consider
that proposition justly. "All right,
thank you" he decided. and he fell
into exactly such state of melan-
choly. trifiing with his grapefruit, as
Mrs. Boyd wished to test. She TO-
cused her keen eyes on him micro
scopically.

night; on the six-ten train"

What Does Your Mouth SNOWY

Some people telieve that the month
provides a valuable clue to character.
4 large mouth denotes generosity. and
its possessor generally makes cheer
fui companion with g fund Of humor.
A small mouth indicates love of ad-
miration. People with small mouths
are often very taIkative, they have
plenty of self-esteem. and are inclined
to overvalue themselves. Thin lips
indicate a cruel and hard nature, thick
lips are possessed by pleasure-loving
individuals. and projecting lips dis
play lack OF will power.
