Writing Spiders Make
Appearance in a Barn
On Stonewal Street
Did YOU ever near of writing soi

Did you ever hear Of writing spi-
ders?
If you did and are adope at trans
lating their language into meaning
English, chance awaits you at 10
Stonewa1 street, Atlanta. for there,
according to Mrs. M. J. Winn, three
large spiders are busily engaged in
spinning strange words, and the
neighborhood is at loss to trans
late their meaning.
According to Mrs. Winn, the spi-
ders are working separately on the
barn in the rear of IS Stonewall
street, and were first discovered by
an old darby, who said that during
the Civil war he had seen the same
phenomena, but couldn't make out
the meaning. She said that the
whole neighborhood was attracted to
the scene of the spider writing, and
in.
Mrs. Winn said that the spiders
had spun several words, and that
the first letter in each word was
clearly distinguishable, such letters
as A, w, n, q and having been
employed. Mrs. Winn said the peo-
pie who had seen the webs were
anxious to know what the words
meant and also the species of spi-
ders which are doing the work, and
she hoped that some spider scholar"
would be attracted to the scene. and
figure out the meaning.

More Consumption Of
Flour Would Reduce
High Cost Of Living

julius Barnes, wheat director, in
a letter to newspaper editors last
week, declared that an increase in
American flour consumption would
cut the nations annual food bill by
$1,000, 000,0
Barnes said the pre-war flour con-
sumption was 235 pounds per capita
yearly and that the per capita con-
sumption during the crop year just
ended was only III pounds.
I'VE are forced to the conclusion
that, with better spending power in
our people, they have gone to the
more expensive foods, probably
meats" Barnes wrote.
flour consumption to 235 pounds and
a displacement thereby of the high
er-priced foods would save our
people fully 1,00O.OOO.00O."
Barnes also wrote that with the
drop in the wheat prospects here
and in Canada, the American guar
anteed price of $2.26 a bushel is
not above the world price which
would be determined by the law of
supply and demand.
Barnes. said he reached this con-
clUs1on after a survey of the world
bread grain crops.
A food subsidy. Barnes said, would
require an act OF congress since he
does not regard it as included in
the powers of his Office.
