added that the legislature by passing

NAPOLEON A GERMAN,
KADELING HIS NAME!

AMSTERDAM, May -(Associateo
Press.) - Having already claimed
Shakespeare as German, the Berlin
newspapers have now discovered that
Napoleon Bonaparte was also one of
them. The claim to Napoleon is put
forward on the authority of Prus-
sian anthropolofist, Prof. Otto Hau-
ser. who notes, among other proofs,
hat Napoleon had blue eyes and cinder
colored hair, which are "called char
acteristics of the German race" Ma
poleon's patronymic, he says, was
"Cadolinghi," taken from the German
word Kadehng, and his mother be-
longed to the Ramonlini, which is a
debasement of Rammelein, an essen

SHIRT TAILS WANTED
FROM ALL WHO WHO 5

ATLANTA, Ca, May 16.-If your
name appears in Who's Who in Geor-
gia,' your shirt tails are wanted. A
rather peculiar request, but request
just the same. Governor Dorsey has
received notice that all shirt tails he
could spare were wanted by Eugene
A. Stewart, of Des Moines, who is cam
paigning for shirt tails which will be
used in the making of kitchen aprons.
The aprons will be auctioned and the
proceeds donated to the Red Cross.
81 never knew before that a shirt
tail could be made patriotic" said
Governor Dorsey, "but I now realize
that something new happens every
day. OF course, my shirt tails shall
go to the Red Cross Cross. / am
happily to know that they may be
used in aiding the campaign of the
Red Cross. I am sorry the request
was not for shirts instead of shirt
tails" A wag says this:
A shirt tail? Oh, why sure;
This thing of course I shall en-
dure-
/ never knew until this day
They could be used in such a. way. "

Stephens, the well-known Atlanta
lawyer who has twice been a candi-
date for the court Of appeals, with
a large vote each time, is again a
candidate for Ia place on the bench,
and has addressed an interesting let
ter to his fellow lawyers of the state.
requesting them to support him on the
strength of his claim based upon the
treatment he received in the last Ma
con convention.
Mr. Stephens shows that he receiv-
ed 5,981 votes and was second on the
ticket in 1910. yet the convention nomi-
mated ether candidates who had re-
cetYed smaller number Of votes than
than he received. He asserts that
private justice is public duty, and he
contends that his vote in 1916 makes
him the moral and rightfuI nominee
for one of the places on the court OF
appeals. He asks the lawyers to join
with him in rebuking autocratic meth
DDS, to this end that he shall receive

Mr.. Van Zante is six feet, six inches

the largest uniforms are made on that
