real significance in the case of an
animal owned by Aubrey Squint, a
poultry farmer of this community
For "Old Shep" carries every one of
the 100 eggs laid each day by
Squint's chickens from the henhouse
to the kitchen in his mouth. And
one at a time at that.
When asked how the dog was train

ed whep Shep was a pup, teach
ing him to carry a china egg in his
mouth. Soon he had the animal car
rying real hens egg. He continu-
ed until it could carry an egg into
the house and deposit it in a basket.
From then on it was only a few
weeks until the dog made it his daily
duty to gather the eggs without be-

Why Force Fair Sew
To Wear STOCKINGS?

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.-Colonel
Dinshah Chandiali, a native of In
dia, but an American citizen and
one of the founders of New York S
aerial police squadron, cried out
before the convention of the Ma
tional Association of Drugless Ply
sicians here against Atlantic City's
beach law, compelling women in
bathing raiment to wear stockings.
Why should beautiful women
and all the women / see here are
beautiful - beoompelled by an I'M
moral, un-American and inhuman
law to cover their beautiful limbs?"
he asked.
The women practitioners, COM
prising more than one-half of the
delegates, led the applause Colonel
Chadialis vehement protest evoked.
He continued warmly:
whats the difference, / ask you,
between a woman's foot and mans
foot? Do not the authorities of At
lantic City yet know they cannot
make people moral by law; that
only education can do that? Why,
L ask further, why not make men
wear stockings upon legs that are
not beautiful and put all horses in
trousers? If Atlantic City would be
truly moral it should tell women to
discard their clothes or don trous-
ers. l hold she has that right, no
less than man"

Wish to Go Abroad?

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. on
the issuance of passports to persons
wishing to visit European countries,
with the exception of Germany and
Russia, are to be relaxed, Secretary
Lansing announced recently. Here
after no one will be required to
show urgent reasons for his visit,
nor will age be taken into considera-
ton. The only requirement will be
that the object of the visit is legiti-
mate and reasonable.
But passports for pleasure-seekers
will not be issued until after No
vember 1, and not then if any rea-
sons now unforeseen compel a con-
tinuance of the restriction.
The state department advises all
contemplating European trips to as
certain from steamship companies if
they can obtain transportation across
and back, on account of the crowd
ing of the steamers, and also adj
vises them to learn from consuls of
the countries they intend to visit if
their passports can be vised for
these countries.

Name Sent to Senate and
Recommendation Referred
to Special Committee
Prompt Action Expected

j dge Samuel H. Sibley, distin-
guis lawyer and jurist, of Union
Pc It, Ca, was nominate Thursday
by President Wilson to be the ad,
ditional United States judge for the
northern district of Georgia.
This information came in Asso-
ciated Press and special dispatches
to The Journal from Washington. II
is expected that Judge Sibley will
assume the duties Of his office as
soon as his appointment has been
confirmed by the senate;
Washington correspondent state that
Senator Hoke Smith, immedtat ely
after the nomination of Judge. Stb-
ley reached the senate, caused theap-
pointment of a special subcommittee
to consider it and declared that ne
would recommend confirmation as
promptly as possible. The expecta-
ton in Washington is that the ap-
pointment will be confirmed by the
senate next Monday.
The appointment of an additional
Judge for the northern district of
Georgia follows the recent recon-
mendation to the president by Unit
ed States Judge William T: New
man, who asked that an additional
judge be appointed. Rather than ex-
ercise his prerogative of retiring on
full salary Judge Newman chose to
continue on the bench and render all
service possible.
Names Submitted
Immediately after Judge New
mans recommended ton that an addi-
tional judge be appointed. the names
of many prominent Georgians were
mentioned for the position. United
States Senator William j. Harris
expressed. himself in favor Of Judge
Andrew J.. Cobb. of Athens. The
choice of Judge Cobb, however, was
generally considered to be out OF
question in view of the established
policy of the administration not to
select a man above sixty years OF
age for, such a position.
Among other wellknown men
mentioned for the position were
United States Attorney Hooper Alex
ander and Attorney Shepard Bryan
of Athens; Attorney Ed Maddox, Of
Rome. and others.
Both Senator Hoke Smith and Sen
ator Harris submitted lists of names
to the attorney general, any one OF
which, they stated, would be salts
factory to them. 1t is understood
that among several mentioned in the
lists of both the senators was the
name of Judge Sibley.
1t has been unofficially understood
for severa0 days that Attorney Gen
eral Palmer recommended the ap.
pointment of Judge Sibley last week
AS late as Wednesday, however, il
was authoritatively stated that the
president had reached no decision
and friends of other aspirtants con.
tinued their activities.
