$50 ENROLL FOR
YEAR IN STATES
FARM COLLEGE

According to a statement just is
sued by j. j. Connor, chairman of
the board of trustees of the Georgia
State College of Agriculture three
hundred and fifty pupils have en-
rolled for the current term, and in
dications point to the most sue
cessfuI year the school has ever
known. The term opened Monday
and it is expected that additional
students will enroll during the first
few weeks.
Mr.. Conner who has just come
to Atlanta from Athens, where ne
attended a meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the school, stress
ed the fact that enlarged facilities
were greatly needed to take care of
the steadily growing enrolment, de-
claring that many departments
would he badly crowded during this
year.
cit is a self-evident fact" said
Mr.. Conner, that enlarged facilities
as well as more classrooms must
be provided for the institution in
the immediate future, if the college
is to take care of the many pupils
who desire to attend. The cafeteria.
which was established to care for
the students meals, is entirely too
small to accommodate the number
now attending, laboratory classes
cannot be properly accommodated
and~several other departments are
greatly chafed for lack Of room"

Problem of Geyser's
SCOUTING Now Solved

Geysers were long a mystery. The
problem has been solved, and that
the solution is correct was satisfac-
torily proved by a small model of
geyser which the interior department
exhibited at Washington. r
Old Faithful-taking/ it as sam
pie geyser-is, structufally speaking
a tube that leads down to a very hot
jlace beneath the crust of the Vel
lowstone National park. Water Ode
rived from the rochs) is forced up
through the tube in the form of
steam. But the tube, not far from
the surface, expands into a chamber
that serves to hold the water and
vapor back until it is filled Then
something has got to go bust" and
out comes the mixture of fluid and
steam with terrific violence.
In a word. the whole secret of the
international geyser lies in sub
terranean reservoir, the contents of
which are forced out by steam eX-
pansion every time it gets filled up.
The Yellowstone park is a region
which not so very long ago was
fercely volcanic. In that role it has
ceased to play an alarming part, bus
locally the earth's crust is extremely
thin. A very literal hell RACES not
far beneath the places frequented by
tourists, and thence is derived the
heat that causes the outbursts of the
geysers.

5000 English Girls
Coming for Husband
To the United States

The shortage of husband material
is so great in England that nearly
5000 young English girls have made
application for passports to the Unit
cd States, where they hope to find
husbands, according to Mrs. IS. -.
Seymour of Camden, N. j., who has
returned from overseas after eight
months of service in France, caring
for the war brides of American SOL
diers and Seamen.
Mrs. Seymour, who is secretary o.
the Philadelphia branch of the
Guaranty Trust company, facilitated
the transportation to the United
States of $500 war brides during the
time she was in France. The brides
represented twenty-five nationallt1es.
Of those leaving from Brest more
than $50 were CzeCho- SloVaks.
''The five thousand women coming
from England, however, are wholly
unattached" explained Mrs. Seymour
at Hoboken yesterday. "a few of
them may have acquaintance with
American soldiers whom they met
when they passed through Great
Britain, but with few exceptions
these five thousand women, who have
asked for passports and who proba-
bly, will come here soon after the
restrictions are lifted, are free, un"
attached lassies.'
Mrs. Seymour declared these
young women have everything ar
ranged for their trips, which they
hope will result in their getting a
husband. She said that there is a
dearth of men in England as a re-
suit of the war $50 these young
women are looking toward America
and centering all their matrimonial
hopes in the young men of the Unit"

YOUNG GIRL, HELD
ON THEFTCHARGE
ILL FROM POISON

Miss Mildred Peacock one of the
several SWeethearts of Lieutenant
Dayton B. Martin, who shot and kill
ed himself last July because, it is
believed, of his tangled love affairs,
was a patient in Ward "a" at the
Grady hospital Wednesday, suffering
it is thought, from the effects of a
dose of poison. The young girl, who
was arrested on Tuesday on the
charge of completely in the theft of
eight diamond rings, valued at $4,000,
is thought to have made an attempt
to end her life.
While Miss Peacock was being Civ
Ell medical attention at Grady, the
detectives got busy on the case and
announced Wednesday morning that
a girl by the name of Barbara Full
lerton, formerly waitress in a
Mitchell street cafe, had been ar
rested in Birmingham, and was being
held in connection with the theft Of
the diamonds, and that ring and a
diamond cluster, paWned by the Full
lerton girl, had been recovered.
The diamonds were stolen from
Joseph w. Hesse, an employee of w.
M. Lewis & Co., diamond brokers.
Miss Peacock, it is said by the police,
admitted to them that she had knowl-
edge of the theft of the diamonds,
and since the arrest of the girl the
police and detectives have been max
ing efforts to locate two soldiers who
are said to be implicated in the affair.
Miss Peacock was in a semi
conscious condition at the Grady
hospital Wednesday morning. She
could not speak coherently, and
the physicians were unable to say
when she would be able to leave
the hospital. Attaches of the Grady,
as we'll as detectives, were inclined
to believe that the girl swallowed
poison of some kind.
The Peacock girl was arrested
Tuesday by Detectives Sturdivant
and Campbell at a Whitehall street
boarding house. She was taken to
police headquarters and gave her
age as eighteen, and her home as
Chattanooga. Tenn. She later became
Ill and was removed to the hospi-
