~ ONE years ago a French physI-
clan called the attention of the
~ medical profession to certain
phenomena IN men passing middle
age.
Like all perfectly new ideas. the
Frenchman'B notion startled the
world and aroused its incredulIty.
His contribution has also furnished
the humorlst with considerable ma
tsrial for jsstG.
But the conviction has grown that
no joke IL involved IN this matter.

The woman posing as an expert
said her sIrvices were valuable at
$3.50 a day. And foolish Mrs Brown
thought that the price was in &C

But after two sessions - Mrs
Brown found out that the clothes

Atlanta, Oct. 5-Advices received
from Washington by the Georgia Board
of Certified Public Accountant Exam
iners indicates that the new eight bill
lion bollar tax next year will require
the services of at least 1000 certified
or at least qualified public accoun-
tants This is staggering PROPOSE
ton when it is considered that there
are only about $500 public accountants
in the whole United States, and the
services of every one of them are
constantly in demand at good salaries.
Under the circumstances it has been
suggested that these men be ememp-
ted from the draft so as to prevent a
still more serious shortage. Joel Hun
ter, of Atlanta, chairman of the Geor-
gia Board, points out that the forth
coming examination for accountants
to be held in this city November 20
and 81. viii afford fine opportunity
for those in position to qualify them
