Holder Is Genius
In Highway Fight
Lawmakers Point Out Ability of
Board Chairman in '.Sternn1inq
Tide" of Criticism

ATLANTA, Ga.,-Naturally some
criticism has been leveled at the
tact that Hon. Jno. Il. Holder, who
is more politician than an engineer
was placed in charge of the Georgia
State Highway Department instead OF
a man who was more an engineer than
politician.
/ But, as pointed out here today by
lawmakers, it should now be obvious
to all that the life-saivation of the
Highway Department depended upon
1t. With the bitter fight against the
Department. in the LEGISLATURE, it re-
CURED more than an engineer to stem
the tide.
Occupying for number of years the
position as speaker of the House, Mr..
Holder is we'll grounded in the politi-
cal life of Georgia. He has, it was
claimed today, as many friends in the
Legislature as any other man in the
State.
With the certain knowledge that
this contest was coming in the 1egis-
lature this year the governor, it is de-
clared by many lawmakers, could not
have appointed better man for the
work of stemning the tide. 1t is
shown that political genius rather than
engineering ability was necessary for
the task of heading off the political
destruction that is aimed. in the d.
rection of the department.. AS to en-
gineering skill, it is stated the depart
ment has that in ample proportions
in the person of Engineer Neel.
The majority report last year of
the legislative committee that it had
investigated the department and gave
it clean bill of health was especially
gratifying to those who had confidence
in the department. and the enthusiasm
in the work it has been doing.
1t behooves the people of Georgia,
according to many lawmakers, who
expressed themselves here today, to
accord to the Highway Department a
fair opportunity to accomplish even
greater work than it has already exc
cuted under the handicaps of the post
war period and lack of necessary
funds or provisions of law that would
extend the authority and make funds
available
1t is believed here that Mr.. Holder,
the present chairman, will eventually
be given more authority in handling
the work of the department.

Will Georgia Women
Cast Their Ballot.

ATLANTA, Ga.,-One of the new
political factors this year in Georgia
revolves around the womens' votes and
the question is being asked:
will the women really vote"
That is to say, will they go to the
polls in sufficiently large numbers to
make their votes a real factor in the
election?
Womens' organizations here and in
various portions of the state are max
ing every effort to get the women to
enroll. Enrolment so far among the
men as we'll as the women, as stated
here, is slow but it is expected that
there will be quickening of interest
as the time approaches for the books
to be closed.
Politicians here and other various
sections of the State who have discus
sed the matter in hotel Hobbies ex-
pressed the hope that the majority Of
women will be be enrolled on the club

SHIPS THAT FATTEN SAILORS
Modern 'Tankers" Are Now Blamed
for Added Weight Taken On
by the Seamen.

Shipping experts continue to argue
regarding the advantages Of oil fuel
over coal. At present the question
is occupying the attention of medical
men.
The adverse effect of oil fuel upon
such surfaces, as steel, canvas. rope
and other shipping accessories are
widely known; ships doctors are now
divided on the question as to whether
1t Is harmful or beneficial In It's effect
upon sailors, writer In London Tit
Bits states.
Sailors on oil-fed vessels are fatter
and paumper than those who work on
ceal-fed ships. Some naval surgeons
declare that the fattening effect is pro-
duced by the slight fumes exuded by
the dormant oil fuel; others eridicula
the suggestion, and maintain that the
former are fat simply because they
have less work to do.
"C0aiing ship" is one Of the finest
exercises In the world for reducing
superfuous flesh. It Is hard work that
has to be maintained at high speed all
day. Ships vie with each other In get.
ting their coal aboard in record time,
and even after the operation is finished
the sailors still have, a few more
ounces of avoirdupois to work or In
cleaning up the mess below decks.
Usually three days are occupied in
cleaning vessel after bout of "coal
ship" On the other hand, oil-fuel
ships perform the task in about three
hours.
Doctors are asking themselves: ISIS
the fat a healthy fat, or an injurious
parasitic growth?" II a hammock is
splashed with oil fuel, all the scrub
hing and boiling in the world will not
prevent hole from appearing In it;
and II it eats through double-ply can
vas, what win oil fuel accomplish in
the case of human beings?
Tanker" hands are noticing that
after two or three voyages they begin
to put on flesh.

The Wrong saint.

Chlldhood's propensity for getting
names mixed was well illustrated a
Sunday morning or two ago when
little Richard, on the way to Sunday
school with his mother and sister,
met another little boy afflicted with
St. vitus' dance.
Richard was deeply impressed by
the Incident and asked his mother
what was the matter with the little
boy.
"Poor child" the sympathetic moth
er replied. eHe has st. vitus's dance.'
Back at home, Richard rushed in to
tell his father Of the incidents Of the
morning and closed with the re
