Members of the local fire 1epart-
ment stationed at the Third Ward en-
CINE house will feel relieved over the
announcement made before the city
council Monday night by City Solicit
or Rooms that he had been informed
by Chief of Police Parker that the
cage" in the engine house will no
longer be used for city prisoners.
1t was expected, following steps TAX
en- at the meeting of the council two
weeks ago that an ordinance would
be introduced at this meeting forbid
ding the use of portion of building
used as a fire station as prison, in
order to abolish the use of this one
cage, which the firemen had complain
ed made life miserable for them. They
said that there were "crawly things"
that had no business in a fire station
and that when prisoners were lodged
there they made more noise and were
as rule even more Objectionable
than their pets"
The above announcement in the
city's solicitors report, however, left
no reason for the introduction of such
an ordinance and at his suggestion it
was permitted to remain unheard.
City prisoners will in the future prob
ably be kept in the county jail
The monthly report of Mayor Mitch
ell was read, showing $1O7SO collect |

sisted of the single item, that the
piece of property known as O'Rourke's

AT this point the city dads" heard
an echo of the high cost of living
wave--a petition of the assistant city
engineers and inspectors asking for
an Increase in salary being read at this
time. The petitioners represented in
their request that the prevailing high
prices make a raise imperative.
An ordinance was introduced and
carried through three successive read
ings and passed under suspension
of the rules providing for the appro-
priation of $39,7lSO4 for current ex-
penses during the last half of the
year ending December 81, 1917. The

Even the argn-
ment that England could have had a
million more soldiers if she had been
willing to spend even a pound a head
on keeping them alive until they were
one year old had little effect, possibly
because, as they would have been killed
anyhow. il did not seem to matter
much. Besides. there are such lot
OF other things to worry about.
A Startling Idea.
Judge Neil had the great advantage
OF having no other business i'm Eng
land than to save the babies. Also he
seemed to know by instinct what the
Germans had demonstrated at enor-
nous expense in Berlin by the institu-
tion of the Empress Augustus house.

advantages that can be conferred on
them by an Institution which is eX-
hibited to all Europe as a model Of its

Cure for Bad Mothers.
Judge Neil had another fresh idea
He did not dispute the rule that the
poor in a loom is bad" When the
poor mother was trottcd out and ex-
hibitcd as necessarily a bad mother. he
pointed out with the simplicity of Co
lumbus that the way to get over her
poverty. and consequently her badness
was to give her some money
When the experiment was only half

her twice as much money" which be-

1f~1FoLLoWING meeting of the board
 TJ of directors of the Atlanta Musical
 Festival association last week, the programme and artists for Atlanta's 1917 week of grand opera is announced, as- suring that this years visit of the Metro politan Opera company will not be less brilliant, and, in some respects, even more brilliant, than in any of the seasons past, says the Atlanta Constitution.
 Caruso, Scotti. Barrientos and many other artists who have won for them selves lasting place in the hearts of opera lovers in Atlanta in past seasons will be back, and along with them will be several new stars. Notable of these will be Claudia Muzio, a new coloratura so- prano in the ranks of the Metropolitan who has created big sensation in New York this season.
 Of great interest also is the announce ment that Mme Gadski, who has not been here in several seasons, will return this year. In this connection comes, per- haps, the most interesting feature of this years programme. Mime. Gadski is to sing in "Siegfried." which is the first of Wagner's great Ring operas to be sung in Atlanta by the Metropolitan
 Two other big operas which have not been seen in Atlanta before and which are to be presented this year, are Fran cesca Di Rimini" and Boris Godunoff."
 I'll Trovatore'' will be the popular pre- sentation this year, and great popular interest will center also in 'Rigoletto," in which opportunity will be afforded once more to hear Caruso in the great quartet.
 The ballet will appear twice
 Opera week will begin in Atlanta this year Monday, April 23, and will last the entire week, with the usual seven per formances.
