Mr. Plumber, when you go to John
Easyman's house to stop a leak, and
forget to take your tools with you,
and charge him up with a dollars
worth of time while you are getting

have been guilty of an unpatriotic neg

why should you burn gasoline that the

BADNESS Due TO PET DOGS
Doctor Holds CANNES Responsible for
Epidemic Which Has Appeared
Among Women in London.

From London comes a warning to
women who have pet dogs. Since the
start of the war many English women
have found that they were losing their
hair. A West End hairdresser, observ-
ing that he had had more cases of fall
ing hair in the last year than ever be-
fore, regarded worry and grief as the
cause, but physician advances an
other theory:
This explanation is partly correct"
says this physician. 1.-THE depressing
effect on vitality of fear, anxiety and
sorrow reacts with serious conse-
quences on the heir. But in my opin-
ion the epidemic, If there is an cpl
demic, is to be traced mainly to infec-
ton from dogs.
every hair expert knows that in
nine out of ten cases the premature
loss of hair is DE to dandruff. That
condition often results from the pres
ence of microbes whose great source is
the dog. Ordinary cleansing with soap
or shampoo preparations is of practi-
cally no use, but simple antiseptics,
such as boric ointment, usually bring
about a speedy cure. AS preventive
measure dispense with the dog"

A roasted chicken enabled two pris-
oners to escape from the county jail
at New Brunswick, N. J., despite the
inspection of their cells every ten
minutes and the armed guards who
surrounded the building. To outward
appearances the fowl, which was sent
to the prison by brother of the men,
was brown, appetizing and innocent. 1t
was learned later that, instead of
bread crumbs and spices, its interior
held saws and files. When a keeper
made one of his inspections the men
were snoring loudly on their cots.
Ten minutes later he found that they
had disappeared by way of the win
dow from which they had wrenched
the bars. Still later the brother who
brought the chicken, and his high pow
cred automobile, were also found to
be gone.

RADIUM CURES CANCER CASES
Report of London Institute Shows Sue
cess in Treatment of Many Patients
in Past Two Years.

In the years 1915 and 1916 the RAJ
dunn institute of London handled 1,400
cases, giving 1881 separate treat
ments. These were of many forms of
cancer and of skin diseases. Of these,
81 were not treated, 1913 were treated
too recently to record results, 33 re-
ceived irradiation merely as a precau-
tionary measure. Of the remaining
1857, the official report says, ITO were
apparently cured" 80 were "cured,"
49S improved" 215 mot improved"
147 abandoned treatment and 70 were
dead.
There were 1856 cases of rodent ulcer,
which of all forms of malignant dis
ease is most amenable to the action of
radium. Lessons which do not affect
mucous membrane, bone or cartilage
and which have not previously been
treatment with Xray, COZ, ionization,
snow, etc, "can almost invariably be
cured by one treatment" says the
Lancet.

The sO-called ambrine, invented by
DR.. Barthe de Sandfort and used in
France for healing burns and other in
Examinations, is almost all paraftin. So
are its several American limitations.
The Journal of the American Medical
Association has been testing them, as
well as the many different brands Of
paraffin, and it finds that the success
of treatment with it depends upon the
kind of paraffin used.
1t gives a formula with which any
one can make a parafiin film similar
in chemical composition, but superior
in physical properties to ambrine. This
is: Paraffin 120-122 F., 97.5; olive OIL
Is; asphalt, drops. And it says it is
exceedingly probable that further ex-
perience will show that for most pur-
poses simple parattin will serve as well
as, if not better than, any of the mix
lures.

PEACE WITHOUT ANNEXATI0NS
ARTICLES BANNED BY GERMANS

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, August 4.
1t is not quite clear why the German
censor banned beginning June Is politi-
cal article in the Frankfurter lei
tung. The embargo, which is under
stood to have been already raised, was
imposed, as the Reichstager Won Payer
explained, on account of a series Of
articles by Professor Max Weber, of
Heidelberg.
The Frankfurter's articles are un-
signed but the following are some
recent extracts to which the censor
conceivably took exception. In one
an editorial writer said;
Russia wants peace without annex
atoms or indemnities. Germany is
willing to conclude peace on that ba'
sis with Russia Such peace automat,
ically would result in general peace.
Thus the idea of a separate peace if eX-
amined more closely vanisbes more
and more under pressure of necessity
which must make it part OF, or an in
troductory to general peace"
Another article was devoted to the
German socialists peace memorial in
Guiding these assertions:
Desire for peace - stronger here
less strong elsewhere-is unmistaka-
Bile. 1t can only be satisfied by peace
becoming an accomplished fact, not by
non-binding statements of representa-
tives of single strata, however deep
they may be, of the community But
who has the courage after three years
OF undecided warfare, to say that any
step is not welcome which is calculated
to destroy prejudices, smooth over
difficulties and strengthen readiness
towards peace in all war camps? Dur
ing this trying war time we have be-
come inwardly conscious of the fact
that it cannot be by power nor sword
alone on whose might we may base our
future

TAX REPEAL GETS ARMYY M.CAD0ING GEORGIA NORMAL
eTIFF JOLT WHEN EXCELLENT WORK WANTS To CONFER
COMMITTEE ACTS ON BATTLE FRONT COLLEGE DEGREES

LONDON, Aug. 4.-Correspondence
OF The Associated Press)-Viscount
Bryce, former British Ambassador to
the United States, has written letter
to E. C. Carter, secretary for France
and England of the Young Mems
Christian, Association, commencing the
work of the organization among the
soldiers of the Entente Allies and sug-
costing that the American association
will be able to render the greatest pos
sible service to the American expe-
dictionary forces.
Arrangements for the work of the
American organization are we'll under
way both in France and in England,
but definite and positive plans will not
be completed until more is known Of
the strength of the American forces,
where they will be located and when
they will arrive. Meanwhile, the
Young Mems Christian Association is
doing everything possible to provide
for comfort and entertainment of those
American sailors and soldiers who al
ready are in Europe.
Il can truly say" Viscount Bryce
writes in his letter, that l have heard
from every quarter, including many
naval and military authorities, the
warmest acknowledgment of the ex-
cellent work done by the Young Mems
Christian Association during these
three terrible years of war, for the
British Canadian and Australian SOL
diers both in camps here and at home
and among the troops on the various
fighting fronts. Many plans have been
devised, many methods successfully
employed, to provide for their benefit
comforts, recreation, literature of the
right sorts and many other wholesome
influences.
l believe that the American Asso-
citation, which will have the advantage
of our experience. which will be work
ed with true American energy, and
which may command even larger funds
than we had, may render the greatest
possible services in France to those
American soldiers whom Britain and
France rejoice to welcome as their al
lies in this fight for freedom and
right"

ATLANTA, GA. Aug. 3.-The friends
OF the tax equalization law have won
another victory which makes it reason
ably certain that the bill to repeal the
law will never be reported to the
house, much less be faborably report
ed and come to a final vote.
By vote of Is to 10 the General Ju-
dietary Committee No. /, of the House,
has adversely reported the bill there
by ending one of the most remarkably
and interesting inside wire pulling
skirmishes" that has occurred in the
Georgia legislature for years.
Several bills to repeal the equali-
cation laws were introduced at the be-
ginning of the session. Being tax
measures, all of them properly belong
ed in the ways and means committee,
and were so referred by the speaker.
l. soon developed that the ways and
means committee were practically a
unit against repeating the equalization
law, which has saved the state from
disastrous financial straits since it was
passed in 1914 during John NJ. Stations
administration as governor. Because
the committee was against all bills to
repeal the law, the authors and sup
around to get the bills away from this
committee and put them in the hands
of committees where they did not be-
long, but where they might have a
chance Of being favorably reported.
One of them was slipped over on the
house to General Agricultural Com
mittee No. 2, but they surprised the re-
Dealers by sending it back to the ways
and means committee. Then the re-
pealers by sending it back to the ways
and means committee. Then the re-
pealers by some hook or crook, man
aged to get another one of the bills
away from the ways and means com
mittee and send it to General Judiciary
Committee No. l.
Tuesday afternoon ten members oil
this committee, which has SO members,
slipped over a favorable report. We'd
nesday morning the chairman called
a meeting which was largely attended
and a motion was made to reconsider
the action of the day before. The mo-
ton was under discussion when the
committee adjourned for the house to
meet and the chairman, Ellis OF TIT,
refused to report the bill, owing to the
tendency of the motion to reconsider.
Wednesday afternoon the committee
met again. Seven members wanted to
attend other committees and got I'M
apimous consent to vote against the
bill and leave. When they were gone
the repealers tried to reconsider the
unanimous consent. They came back
ard adversed the bill by the vote above

Pepper CASE SUBJECT OF
DIPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENCE

MUKDEN, MANCHURIA, Aug. A.
Correspondence -Informal negotia-
tons concerning what is known as the
Popper case are understood to be go
ing on between the United States and
Japan.
The case. which involves ]. f. Pop
per. an American engineer, had its
origin on August 80, 1916, when Mr.
Popper who was in the employ OF the
Chinese provincial government is said
tc have been assaulted by Japanese
coolies in the international settlement
The American contention is that Mr..
Pepper observing that severel Of the
Chinese linemen in the employ of the
Mukden Electric Works, of which he
had charge, were being molested by
Iapanese coolies, requested the Japan
csc to desist
The japanese turned against Mr.
popper. it is asserted, and dubbed and
heat him almost to insensibility. He
was rescued by the American Vice
Consul, who was hurriedly called to
the scene.
1t is claimed that the Japanese Con-
sui General volunteered an apology for
the incident but as it was not made
the consul was asked to try the case
in the japanese consular court Al
Ter some difficulty Mr.. Pepper secured
the services of a japanese lawyer to
represent him. After hearing it was
announced that the lawyer had inform
ed the court that Mr.. Pepper had
withdrawn his complaint, though Mr.
Popper declares he gave no such au-
thority.
The American consulate requested
that the case be reopened, but the Jap
anese consul replied that this was not
possible as the affair was closed
FINALLY. after further conferences, the
Japanese informed the Americans that
the period in which Mr. Pepper could
have appealed had elapsed and that
nothing further could be done. The
Americans interested claim that there
was no trial whatever.
1t is understood that the authorities
AZ Washington have become interested
in the case and have asked for com
plete report.

COFFEE ONLY DRINK on
AMERICAN TORPEDO FL0TILLA

BASE AMERICAN FL0TILLAS IN
BRITISH WATERS, Aug. 4.-Black
coffee is the popular drink with the
men over here in Uncle Sans teetotal
navy. Steaming hot coffee is always
on tap on board the destroyers when
they are out looking for submarines.
The men say it not only keeps them
awake but serves also as stimulant
ard protector against the rigorous eli
matte conditions under which they la
Dor. They have not yet carried on
board ship the afternoon tea habit
which they have formed ashore and
found such satisfactory substitute
for the use of alcoholic drinks.
The vast majority of the men say
that they do not miss the absence OF
intoxicating drink on board their
ships. Those who want it can get it
ashore from midday until eight in the
evening but for the vast majority the
LIQUOR saloons have very little charm
The record of the men as a whole in
this respect. say their officers, has
been one of the gratifying features OF
their stay bert
The ratrols, therefore, have very
little to do but walk up and down the
main street Of the village in search OF
the trouble that seldom somes.

ATLANTA, GA, 4.-Shall the Geor-
gia Normal & Industrial College az
Milledgeville be allowed to confer de-
grees on its graduates?
Shall the college be made the med
ium through which the state and the
federal government, under the terms
of the Smith-Lever act, carry on the
work of home economics
On these two issues the board Of
directors of the Georgia Normal & In
dustrial College and flatly opposed by
the trustees of the University of Geor-
gia, and big fight is coming that will
stir the state from the center of cir
conference.
1t is not probable that the G. N. I.
c. may lose the services of its pres
ident, Professor NJ. NJ Parks, whose
wonderful work in building up the col
lege has attracted attention throughout
the country. It is known that he feels
very keenly what he considers the I'M
fair treatment of the college by the
university board, it was intimated to-
day that he might resign to accept one
of numerous positions which have been
offered him at better salaries than he
is paid at the present time.
The Georgia Normal & Industrial
College wants to confer degrees on its
graduates. The trustees OF the Uni
versity of Georgia say: No you must
not confer the degrees yourself. You
must let the University confer them,
because you are a branch of the Uni
versity. Your desire to confer them
shows that you are getting the big
head and want to dithdraw from the
University"
Replying to this contention, the di-
rectors of the college say: Women
who complete a course of study which
would secure a degree in other states
are entitled to get it here. We have
no intention or desire to withdraw
from the University. To do so would
be idiotic on our part, since the con-
stftution of Georgia requires all appro-
priations for higher education to be
made through the University and its
branches. We certainly do not want
to lose our entire appropriation"
The University trustees contend that
the Smith-Lever fund must all be ex-
pended through the State College of
Agriculture, and that to eXpend third
of it through the G. N. l. c. would be
illegal. Replying to this contention,
the college shows that the portion of
the fund devoted to home economics in
Soth Carolina is expended through a
woman's college.
The rustees, meeting here yesterday,
demanded that the directors of the col
lege withdraw their request for author
ity to confer degrees and withdraw
their request for third of the Smith
Lever fund. The directors will stand
BY their guns. They declare that they
have endured the despOtism of the Uni
versity trustees as long as they can,
and henceforth they are going to make
a fair and square fight for their rights.
