have a license. There are different
kinds of licenses covering different
kinds of requirements. Licensing
agents of the Government have been
appointed in practically every county
in every state. Any licensing agent
in any state can issue license for the
entire state, but not for any place
other than in the state in which he
is located. The licensing agent for
any one place can be found by apply

sheriff, chief of police, or in case none
of these can furnish the name of the
licensing agent, the applicant should

STATE COLLEGE OPENS
ITS DOORS TO WOMEN
Agricultural College Offers A
Degree Course In Home
Economics

The Georgia State College of Agri.
culture has opened it's doors to wom-
en-, and in September q two years
course will be offered to graduates Of
junior colleges leading to a degree in
home economics. This new step in
the higher education Of women
brings the College into the rank of the
large universities Of the North, and the
young women of Georgia may now find
at home the further technical training
along the lines OF home making and
general agriculture which they have
had to go to other states to secure.
a Georgia woman, Miss Mary E.
Creswell, Of Athens, who, for the last
four years, has had charge Of the
home economies work for the United
States Department of Agriculture in
fifteen southern states, gives leader
ship TO the new department It was
Miss Creswell who organized club
work for women and girls tn Georgia
tn 1911, and since that time she has
been helping IN Washington TO plan
and direct home ecoonmScs sor the en-
tire country.
In the work for The degree @fvanc-
ed courses in food study, nutrition and
experimental cookery win be taken to-
gether with household management
and other allied subjects. Advanced
courses in physiology, chemistry, biol-
ogy and bacterioiogy win also be Of
fered. The regular courses IN dairy
ing, poultry, husbandry, horticulture
and general agriculture will be open
both to women as wen as to men.
The admission Of women to the Col
lege and the institution Of the new
course is but another form of conser-
walton. The teaching facilities and
laboratories which have been devoted
exclusively to the higher education Of
men will now serve women as we'll and
all this will be done at a very slight
expense to the state This progressive
step Of the College of Agriculture is an
epochal event in the higher education
OF women in Georgia and the South,
and gives to them the opportunity to
learn practically and scientifically the
science that is so surely giving Geor-
gia the leadership among southern
states.
The woman-power of the state is
being called on to assume many re-
sponsibilities in certain lines of agri-
culture, and there must be leadership.
Every county in the state needs a
thoroughly trained home economies
agent and then, too. the vocational
field Is calling for women and for
men. In these war times and for
many years in the future some women
will have to take over the actual man
agement Of farms and training for
this work they may now find at the
College Of Agriculture.
The Federal Bood Administration
and the United States Department Of
Agriculture have made insistent de-
mands for the further training OF
women along technical lines, and it
is in answer to this appeal that the
new course has been offered by the
Trustees of the College.

SHOWER
FOR REV. AND
MRS. 0. E. FOX

What was perhaps the surprise of
their lives was sprung on them last
night when about Is of the members
of the Central Christian church sud-
denly appeared at the home of Rev.
and Mrs. o. E. Fox on South Grant
street, loaded down with all kinds and
sizes of packages and bundles, con-
tanning good things to eat.
The surprise was complete down
to the smallest detail. 1t had been
planned in advance and for once, at
least, the ladies managed, with the
help OF the men, to keep a secret!
Last Sunday Mr.. w. A. Adams in
formed the pastor that he wished to
talk over some matters of importance
with him and made an engagement
to see him at his home on the fol-
lowing Tuesday night. While Mr..
Adams was at his house discussing
various matters, dark forms might
have been seen approaching the
church from all directions with sus-
picious looking packages in their
hands. At about eight o'clock a
slight noise was heard at the doors
OF his home and while he was Won
dering whose stray dog was taking
such liberties with his premises, and
before he could investigate, the doors
silently opened and the members of
the party filed in.
There was nothing for the preacher
to do but look foolish, which he did
to the best of his ability, though it
was hard job for him to do. On
to the dining room filed that bunch
and when they had all passed around
the table was piled high with every-
thing that there is good to eat, from
pickles to prunes. The pastor and
his wife were then invited to inspect
the contents of those packages which
they proceeded to do and as each
package revealed some new delicacy,
their eyes grew larger and brighter
until at last their Joy knew no bounds
and they yelled, enough.
The only thing to mar the occa-
sion was the hungry look on DR.. Tur-
ner's face, but the pastor noticed that
and slipped him a block of chewing
gum which the Doctor hastily made
use of.
After wishing the pastor all the
good things that life affords, and in
turn receiving the thanks of himself
and wife, they marched out and went
home to dream of the JOY they caused
by their thoughtful generosity.
just as they were leaving for their
homes, Bert Archer was heard to
modestly say that he would be at
home on the following Tuesday eve
ming.
1t was not voted that copy of this
be sent to Hon. Hoover.

NEW LAW REQUIRES LICENSE
TO HANDLE EXPLOSIVES

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 20.-It does not
seem to be generally known that the
government, in order to further pro-
tect industry and food supply, has
passed law regulating the purchase,
sale and use of practically all explo-
Sives. according to Carlos H. Mason,
of this city, u. S. Explosives lnspec-
tor for Georgia.
Such a law, states Mr.. Mason, was
found to be absolutely necessary to
prevent explosives from getting into
the hands of our enemies in this coun-
try, and to prevent continuation of
damage to food supplies and indus
tries by these enemies. The law is
known as the Law Regulating the
Manufacture, Distribution, Storage,
Use or Possession of Explosives and
Their Ingredients" Necessarily the
law places restrictions on the rightful
use of explosives, but it is so framed
that anyone rightfully and legally
handling or using explosives may Sc
cure them or secure the ingredients
with a minimum of inconvenience
commensurate with the public safety.

sell, use or keep explosives or their

the report being circulated in Atlanta.
Mrs. Hirsch's husband, a prominent
fire insurance man of this city, ap-
parently has decided to presume her
innocent until she is proven guilty,
and acting on this principle has offer
ed to aid her in employing lawyer,
making BOND and other matters con-
nected with the trial. What his ulti-
mate attitude will be probably de-
ponds ON the outcome of the trial.
The case is scheduled to come to
trial on Wednesday, February 81, and
will probably last for several days.
Reuben R. Arnold, who will lead the
prosecution, is planning to go right
extensively into Mrs. Hirsch's past
record when she was milliner in
Jacksonville, where she is said to
have divorced her first husband.
