GEORGE STALL|NGS i
STOCK PRIZE WINNER

ATHENS, Ga, Oct. 31-George Stall
ings, manager of the Boston Ameri-
cans, has made his first winnings in
the show ring for shorthorn cattle and
is one of Georgia's most enthusiastic
livestock breeders. He has just won
first prize for a shorthorn heifer at
the South Carolina State fair at Col
umbia and grand championship for a
female of all breeds, with nine breeds
competing, some of which came from
as far north as New York. The same
heifer took down first prizes at the
Southeastern fair at Atlanta. Stallings
is enthusiastic about this side-line
business of his and believes there are
great possibilities for beef production
in the South. He has a farm of $500
acres at Haddock's, Ca, not far out
from Macon, on the Georgia railroad,
which he is converting into a beef
ranch. He says that eight members
OF his team are now shorthorn breed
ers.
Stallings has solicited the College
of Agriculture at this place for line
of information and the department of
animal husbandry is to furnish plans
for barns, sheds, paddocks, pasture,
etc. He has won fourteen grand cham
pionships at baseball and has a hank
ering for some such honors in short
horndom.
Aother notable addition to the list
Of livestock breeders of Georgia is
Congressman Carl Vinson, Milledge-
vile, who recently purchased a sup
erior sire of the Hereford breed from

ATLANTA'S SACK THE RIPPER"
Is AGAIN ON THE OFFENSIVE

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 31-Mysterious
and terrible Jack the Ripper" who
cuts the threats of negro women from
ear to ear and hides their bodies in
Death Valley" has resumed his muir
derous operations among the colored
population of Atlanta, and the negroes
are filled with wild alarm.
A few years ago the strange Grim
ipal killed a dozen negro women with
in period of six months, and then
suddenly his murders ceased as
abruptly as they had begun. Now they
have started again. The bodies of two
negro women have been found in
Death Valley which is a sort of
swamp near the railroad belt line in
the principal negro settlement of the
city. Their threats were cut from
ear to ear, and their bodies were hid
den like all the rest.
The police attribute the murders to
a homicidal maniac.

ONE WAY TO CURE A
NARCOTIC HABIT NOW

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct 31.-Is en-
forced confinement condition prece-
dent to the cure of the narcotic habit?
Will the Federal government or the
state governments, or both, eventually
take drug victims and place them in
prisons, so to bspeak where they can
be deprived of drugs and thereby cur
ed of the curse which has come upon
them?
Some Atlanta doctors believe the
final answer to these questions will be
in the affirmative, while others con-
tend that he cure of drugs always de-
depnd in part upon the will of the in
dividual victim and that governments
will never go so far as to make pris-
oners of them, even when enforced
confinement would admittedly be con
ductiye to their betterment.
The questions have been raised by
the experienced of prominent ply
sician from a community near Atlanta
who came to this city and got himself
sentenced to six months in the Federal
Prison to take the drug cure admin
istered to inmates of that institution
He contracted the habit during an
illness years ago, tried to shake it off,
failed, and finally became almost
physical and mental wreck. Knowing
that drug victims are cured at the
Federal Prison, he told his family of
bis plans, came here and confessed to
a minor infraction of the Federal anti
narcotic laws, and persuaded the U. s.
district attorney, Hooper Alexander, |
to arraign him before Judge w. T. !
Newman, Of the U. S. District court, |
who sentenced him to serve six months !
in the prison.

OLD PAPERS REAP A
BENEFIT TO GHARITY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-Children
of the public schools of the District of
Columbia, after few days's campaign,
which is to continue indefinitely, have
collected approximately q tons of
old newspapers and magazines which
sold for $317 and the money has been
placed in fund for the equipment of
Fairgrounds and other social activi-
ties. The plan for collecting the old
papers was suggested by The Evening
Star which pointed out it would serve
double purpose, assisting the chill
dren to obtain better Fairgrounds and
help the paper trade in the present
shortage. The plan was approved by
the education authorities and has been
taken up enthusiastically by the school
children.
During the first five days, 54,929
pounds of old newspapers and maya
zines were taken to the school build
ings by the children. The last day of
the week totaled 22,119 pounds, one
school contributed 1923 pounds. The
papers were sold at the rate of 50
cents per hundred pounds for the
newspapers and 81 per hundred pounds
for magazines. The individual schools
will receive the greater proportion of
the money received from their con-
tributions and part of the sum goes
into general fund

MAXWELL CAR WINS
TWO ECONOMY TESTS

Recent tests for economy in gasoline
consumption conducted in different
sections of the country show that the
Maxwell car continues to enjoy supe-
riority in this vital item affecting the
motorists purse.
Within the last month, two import
ant economy contests were conducted,
one in California and the other in
Virginia, and in both of these. the
Maxwell car was victorious. proving
its ability to go forthest on the small
est amount of fuel. Both of these con-
tests were participated in by num-
Der of cars of well known make and
beth were officially checked.
Wins Government Test.
H. P. Jayne, government sealer of
weights and measures, officially OBJ
served test in the Yosemite Valley
Cal, recently. Fire cars were start
ed from the Commercial club in Fres-
no for the valley. after Mr.. Jayne had
sealed the tanks. The roads were in
the worst possible condition. The steep
grades were made doubly hard by hav-
ing six inches of dust and the ruts
from the heavy traffic let the cars
down frequently to point where the
aXles scraped the road.
Arriving in YOSEMITE Valley, Mr..
Jayne broke the seals, and with certi-
fed measures refilled the tanks with
gasoline, also weighing the loads car
ried by the cars, including passengers
and luggage.
The result showed that the Maxwell
consumed seven gallons of gasoline
and carried S75 pounds. Its nearest
competitor used eight and six-tenths
gallons and carried only 635 pounds.
The third car in the competition used
nine gallons and carried STA pounds.
Two other cars trailed along. In other
words, the Maxwell carried a gerater
weight than any other automobile in
the contest and did two miles to the
gallon better than its nearest competi-
tor.
