Dr. Wiley says that a married mans energy is divided 6o-4o Sixty per cent is devoted to providing food and 10 per cent to providing mothers clothes. The does categorical statement will not be accepted in some quarters without an argument. Even nearly perfect father could hardly be expected to have no interests outside of food and clothes. Perhaps a more lib- eral estimate would show 50 per cent of fathers energy devoted to providing clothes for mother. 40 per cent devot ea tn providing food and the other 10 per cent to baseball. golf or some other harmless amusement by which he contrives to keep himself fit to cope with serious things of life.

Governor sIaton's Action


 The chief topic of conversation all day Monday in Birmingham was The Age Her aids announcement in an early morning extra tellipg of the communication of Lee Franks death sentence,' remarked Charles s. Brice, we'll known attorney This Frank case had received nation wide attention, and I suppose ranks next to the Thaw case in notoriety. l fear that Governor Slaton's action will be at first rather unpopular in Georgia but it will be viewed differently in most of the other states of the union. and ultimately in Governor Slaton's state. At the time of Franks trial in Atlanta, excitement ran high; the courtroom at times was prac- tically surrounded by mob, and there were narrowing scenes in the courtroom ''The yellow journals of Atlanta had played on public sentiment with sensa- tional accounts. This tense feeling of ex- citement could hardly have pailed to react to some degree upon the decision of the jurors It is true that the case was ap. pealed to the supreme court and to the federal courts, but these judges only had the right to pass upon technical law points. It was decided that the case hao been tried ~confornity with the law There remained however, in the minds of a great number of people a reasonable doubt as to Franks guilt.
 Great journals of reputable standing had sent representatives of unprejudiceo mind to investigate the case and the con sensus of opinion among these men was that a grave injustice had been done the prisoner who had been sentenced to death.
 ''Georgias reputa tion had suffered greatly as a result of the notoriety gained in connection wit hthis case. Governor Slaton's action will probably subject him to severe citicism in his own state for q time. but the press of the nation will cer- tainly rally to his support

 "June 8, 95; June 10. 96; June Il, s7; June 12, sS; June 13. 9s; June IA, 9 g. June 2s, S5 j tife 99SS; 100; June 26, 100; June 27. 100; June 2S, 99 June 29. 100 and June 30. go. Of course these are all maximum tem- peratures. Last Sunday was the hot test June 20 with the exception of June 20, 1914, since June, 1902, when the mercury reached 97. The max imum temperature Sunday was 961a.
 Saturday night was especially try ing because it was so close, that is to say, the humidity was high and the air was so absolutely still. There was not breath of wind stirring and consequently the moisture of the body did not dry quickly and cool the body.
