\ NY one who has spent much
~ time in travelling knows that
it pays to have a good, sub
stantial leather bag that will stand
the hard usage which even the most
kind-hearted of baggage masters is
wont to bestow upon our luggage.
And any one who lays the least claim
to being fastidious makes the re-
quirement that his bags must not
only wear well, but look well. If such
are your requirements it would be
wise to make your purchase at the
store of Bailey, Banks & Biddle Com
pany. There you viii. find bags of
sealskin, lizard and pigskin, fitted
with travellers requisites of ivory,
silver, gold or ebony. You may
purchase an untitled bag if YOU so
desire, but the convenience of having
everything at hand is worth consid-
ering when you are purchasing bag.

THERE are any number of Phila-
n newly acquired colds on the
weather, whereas many of them are
the result of breathing dry, harsh
air in stuffy rooms. Heating and
ventilating experts agree that the
deal relative humidity indoors should
be maintained at 509o, with heat 7ot
to exceed 68 degrees. The only way
to make sure of breathing properly
moistened air is by the use of
humidifier. The Buddington Humidi-
fer, sold by J. Franklin Miller, 1912
Chestnut street, is a scientifically de-
signed device which, when placed on
top of your radiator or register, adds
moisture to the dry Sir in heated

room heated to 6S degrees is more
comfortable than dry room Leated

"MApIE SYRUP" CANS AT
MACON FOUND TO HOLD
so GALLONS OF WHISKEY

Macon, June 20-Fifty gallons OF
whiskey shipped from Chicago in cans
labelled maple syrup were seized at
the Central of Georgia reight house
here late Thursday afternoon.
The booze probably cost the owner
about $3.50 and retaied at blind tiger
prices would bring almost fabulous
sum, as it is understood moonshine
liquor retails for from $40 to $15 q
quart, and that seized was of much SUI
perior quality.
All went well with the shipment
until one of the cans in which the
bottles were packed was dropped by
negro truckman. The bottles in
side were broken. There were fifteen
piints to a tin. Soon the Odor pro-
voked considerable attention, and rail
road officials notified Central of Geor-
gia detectives and they made the
seizure. Afterward the contraband
was turned over to city detectives.
1t is the largest seizure made here
since the famous tar barrel case. The
discovery that many barrels shipped
from Cincinnati and Louisville, and
labeled tar, really contained whiskey
was made through accident much the
same as the contents of the syrup
cans was ascertained
Railway detectives and other Off
GERS are keeping a close watch on
shipments so as to thWart the inten-
lions of those who would stock up
before July l.

HABERSHAM TO BUILD
NEW MACADAM ROAD

GAINESVILLE, Ca, June 20.-Haber-
sham county, in conjunction with the
federal government and the state high
way commission, will soon begin the
construction of standard-guage high
way from Cornelia on the Southern
railway to Gainesville, the county
seat. This road will be of macaGam
asphalt, or concrete construction. It's
length will be eight miles and will run
through one of the best sections OF
the county and will connect the three
towns of Cornelia, Demorest and
Gainesville. A large part of the equip
ment to be used in constructing the
road has already been shipped and it
is expected that it will arrive in few
days.
The county will build this road with
the aid of government funds. Ordi-
nary j. A. Robertson was ready to
meet the requirement of the national
government in securing aid from this
source and the necessary amount to
he used i'll the construction of the
road was allotted the county some
time ago. Habersham county, with
its thousands of dollars of surplus
in it's treasury, was fully prepared to
take advantage of the national gov
ernment's offer OF assistance in build
ing highways, without issuing bonds
to do so. The county authorities eX
pect to complete this eight miles of
important highway without mond
issue, or a radical increase in the
county tax rate, which at present is
seventy cents per hundred dollars of
taxable property.

San Franciso, June 13.-The new
cement ship Palo Alto, launched
at the Government Island Plant
at Oakland differs materially both as
to architecture and composition from
the first concerto ship Faith"
The system of steel reinforcing of
the Faith was diagonal, that of Palo
Alto horizontal and vertical. The con
crete aggregate used in the Faith
was rock. sand and cement; that OF
the Palo Alto of sand, crushed terra

construction. The San Francisco
Shipbuilding company, builders of
Faith, directed the construction of
the Palo Alto, the work being done
under inspection of the Shipping
Board.

GEORGIA OPPOSED MEASURE
TO PLACE TARIFF ON POTASH

Atlanta, Ca, June 19.--E. B. Jack
son, director of the State Bureau of
Markets, has communicated with
Georgia representatives in Georgia
asking that they use their influence
to defeat a bill to levy a protective
tariff on potash shipped in this coun-
try from Europe for domestic use.
The Ways and Means Committee of
the national House of Representa-
tives has under consideration bill
to increase the duty on potash and to
license importation so as to protect
the potash industry in this country.
Mr.. Jackson points out the propos-
ed tariff would mean an additional
cost to the farmers in the Southern
States of about SAB $50 900 in next
ten years, and an additional expense
to Georgia of about $13,0OO,O0O in
the same time.
Georgia consumes annually about
865 900 tons of commercial fertilizer
containing two units of potash a ton.
At the proposed prices to be fixed
by the government the total cost of
the potash used in this state in next
ten years would be $30,275, 900, while
at the prewar price of 81 unit the
total cost would be $17,300,000, or a
difference of about $12,975,O 900 to be
paid out of the pockets of Georgia
farmers for the benefit of an attempt
to inaugurate potash industry in
this country.

A. E. F. UNIVERSITY
SHOW WAY SCHOOL
ACCORDING TO DR.. ASKlNE OF
COLUMBIA.

Beaune, France, May 20.-(Cor-
respondence of The Associated
| Press. )-Belief that the American
Expeditionary Force University here
\ has shown that it is feasible to make
the United States army great
school for America, is expressed by
DR.. John Erskine, professor OF Eng
lish in Columbia University. DR..
Erskine is one of the three members
of the recently created Educational
Corps of the American Expedition
airy Force.
The great university is nearing its
close for the troops soon must be
returned to America but DR..
Erskine regards it as a laboratory
which has demonstrated the possibil-
ity of universal training in America
with the United States army as the
4 medium.
"The A. E. F. University seems to
me significant experiment from the
point of view of education in the
United States" said DR.. Erskine.
81 have been fascinated with the
idea that we introduce into our
national life a system of universal
training not yet attempted-a sys-
tenn which should be compulsory for
all men whether or not they are
physically fit to be soldiers which
| should serve as an annual inventory
of our national resources physically
mentally and morally. The university
might serve as a model for the train
ing camps which would be found in
such a system; a student would be
under military discipline, and would
enjoy all advantages of the we'll ad-
| ministered military camp, but he
would persue whatever subjects his
tastes and his situation in life might
cause him to desire, from brick-lay-
ing to university study.
ct has interested me exceedingly
to observe, as / have advanced the
idea that our army should be trans
formed into an instrument for edu-
cation, that the idea has met with
intelligent response from the ex-
perienced officers of the regular
army.
"The university has come to mean
for many of us here the hope that
our most chivalrous soldiers, our
| DeSL IFdlueu SCleHIlSIS, oul CltAA0ho
with the largest imagination may
agree on program of universal
training which will quickly drive out
illiteracy and all disease that is avoid
able, and will fit men and women to
take worthy part in the peace time
/ business of our country.
