Early Artificial Ewes.

According to history, as early as
500 B. G.. artificial eyes were made by
the priests of Rome who practiced sur
gerry and medicine. These were very
crude affairs and consisted of flesh
tinted linen, to the fiat side of which a
piece of earthenware was cemented.
They were then modelled life size and
painted to represent the human eye
and lids. The linen was coated with
some adhesive substance, placed over
the socket and pressed down. Instead
of being inserted the eye was worn
on the outside of the socket, covering
the cavity. 1t was not until the year
1879 that anything corresponding to
the linen eye was really produced. A
gold ball was then inserted with color
ings to represent the iris. This was
followed by an eye made Of enamel
and tinted.

Nor within recent decades have af-
fairs of state in Wisconsin been 80,
smoothly handled as in Governor Phil
ipp's present administration. Papers
of both parties find little or nothing to
criticise in the governors masterful
handling of state matters. 1t is as
quiet now as it used to be stormy under
LaFollette and McGovern. It has been
said that Barry of the old Philadelphia
Athletics played short 80 skillfully.
easily and gracefully that he was never
given credit for difficult assists that
done by others would have appeared
phenomenal. Governor Philip is so
experienced and far-sighted business
man that there is minimum of fric-
ton during his regime although ques-
tions daily arise that require the keen
est Judgment and give ample oppor-
tunity for ''bad break"

AT THE LYRIC

Nazimova, the distinguished ac-
tress, will be the attraction at the
Lyric Theater tonight, in a powerful
drama, "The Red Lantern" She was
seen in dua | role, playing both
Mahle, the Eurasian and Blanche,
the English girl. The roles are of
such vastly different character, that
it is amazing to think that one wo-
man can portray them both. 1t is
a story of the conflict of a soul bur-
dened with traditions, the prejudices
and emotions of two races.
A silver dollar in the possession of
a friendless girl in a strange city is
the means of providing her shelter
in beautiful home of bringing her
happiness to hundreds of factory
workers, and finally of making it's
owner the bride of the towns veal
thiest man. This is no ordinary
coin that brings so much happiness
in Mae Marsh's picture, "The Glor-
ious Adventure" which will be shown
Saturday.
No sane architect builds a house
on quicksand. He chooses a firm
foundation for his structure. Just
so it behooves every man and wo-
man to build love on a firm founda-
ton. In "The Call of the Soul,''
Barbara Deming's marriage almost
crumbled on the quicksand, of mis-
understanding. "The Call of the
Soul" featuring Gladys Brockwell,

TAPPEARS that the state legislators
were not inclined to see the wisdom of
passing an alien language law. This
was again proven when the assembly
refused to concur in the senate bill to
eliminate foreign languages from the
public schools. 1t is argued, and not
without good reason, that the advan-
tages derived from speaking foreign
languages, especially in the business
world today, are inestimable. Our
American language surely should be
made the prime basis of all studies,
but this accomplished, there is still
opportunity to broaden the students
mind. 1t is in the earlier years that
the student can acquire more easily
those accomplishment which will give
him or her a great advantage in BUSH
ness life in future years.

First Cousins May Marry Now.

County clerks have received copies
of the new Wisconsin law relating to
the marriage of first cousins. This
law so amends the former marriage
statute as to permit first cousins to
marry with the sanction of law. Here
tofore union between persons related
in this way was forbidden, but accord
ing to the new law such marriage is
legalized, providing the bride is fifty
years of age. The amendment becomes
effective at once. It provides that
marriages may be contracted between
first cousins when the female has at
tanned the age of fifty years.

Flusher Works Fine.

The street fiusher has been placed in
operation on the paved streets and is
certainly fine piece of street equip
ment. The water is pumped on the
pavement under pressure which washes
all dust and filth to the cutters where
it is washed down the sewers. There
is no dust to be found after the fiusher
has been in operation, and Elkhorn's

summer. -Elkhorn Independent. How

Chattahoochee Folk
FightC olumbusCamp

ATLANTA, Jan. 4.-Citizens OF
Chattahoochee county, Georgia, have
started a movement to prevent the
governments proposed establishment
in Chattahooche and Muscogee coun
ties of great infantry school of
arms to be known as Camp Benning
C. c. Minter, prominent lawyer
and banker of Cusseta, the county site
of Chattahoochee county, was in At
lanta yesterday for the purpose of pre-
senting the matter to the governor and
enlisting the states aid, if possible.
The Chattahoochee citizens claim the
camp will practically annihilate their
county by taking off the whole west
ern half ambracng 10000 acres, and
leaving only the poor ridge land of
the eastern half They claim the
western half represents two-thirds Of
the tax values of the county, more than
half of the population, and practically
all the good farming lands. Many of
the farms are in the third and fourth
generations of the same families, and
could be bought for hardly any price.
In the stress of war emergency, the
owners tried to reconcile themselves
to the governments condemnation of
the land as military necessity, but
now that the war is over they object
to the proposed continuance of the
project as permanent thing. The
condemnation was consummated only
month before the armistice and hence
the project is just under way They
contend that the government should
call a halt now and locate the camp
on another site more suitable.

WOMAN TAKES
ALL BLAME FOR
FRIEND'SKILLINC

ATLANTA, Jan. 4.-The blame for
the shooting to death of c. H. Christy,
a young Atlanta soda dispenser, by w.
A. Albright, young automatic
sprinkler expert, is taken on her own
shoulders by Mrs. G. c.. February, the
pretty Young woman in front of whose
home the shooting took place.
It seems that both young men, about
% years old. were friends of Mrs. Feb
Fuary. Albright had been friend OF
her husbands for ten years. She had
known Christy for two or three years.
The mothers of the two boys were ac-
nuainted with her and fond of her.
February often invited them to the
house
Thursday afternoon she met Christy
downtown and observed that he was
drinking. He asked her to walk home
with him. as he felt little uncertain
of himself, and she did so. Then he
changed his mind and turned around
and wanted to go home with her, to a
section of the city several miles away.
She insisted that he stay at home. She
hurried away and caught her car
home and noticed Albright, who was
coming to play bridge with her and
her husband. on the same car She
also noticed that Christy got on the
same car February met her at the
car and they starte din the house to-
gether, Christy following close behind
Then Christy called to Albright, who
turned around and went back to him,
and presently four shots were fired.
Albright made statement saying he
shot in self defense because Christy
put his hand in his overcoat pocket in
a manner which indicated that he was
preparing to shoot. He has been held
to the grand jury.
Mrs February blames herself for
telling Albright that she was afraid
Christy was going to make trouble.
But the remark was natural in the
circumstances, as she sees it, and if
the thing happened again she would
probably make the same remark, so
she hardly knows whether to blame
herself Or not AT any rate she feels
quite overcome with the tragedy that
overlook her two young friends

and that of the schools were changed
to some extent to meet the new condi-
tions, most of the city's population
went about their duties and pleasure
guided by the new time as though al
ways accustomed to it.
The schools, instead of opening at
$50 in the morning, as was the case
under central time, now open at 8,
eastern time. Some of the business
houses of the city changed their open
ing and closing hours one hour, thus
neutralizing entirely the effect of the
new time, but these are expected to
get in line in few weeks, when the
days become longer and the sun rises
earlier. AS a whole, the people of
Albany seem to be well pleased with
the change to faster time.

Millennium Coming;

ATLANTA, Jan. 1.-The old SUI
perstition that women are always
late is. going to be destroyed by
the 300 members of the Atlanta
Woman's club of this city.
They admit that it's more than
a superstition. They admit that
women are late. They admit that
the gentler sex are only vague in
their conception of>the value of
time. If they had not admitted
these things there would have
been no point to their solemn res
Olution to put an end to women's
proverbial and traditional tardi-
ness in all things.
The club whose membership is
composed of the leading women of
Atlanta, has adopted resolution
solemnly pledging them to be on
the minute at every engagement.
They are going
To start their meetings on time

bands, or any other men, say of
