Kirk chairman of the board, Dr. Kirk stated that this activity was largely due to the examination of an unusual rumber of school children in va rious sections of the county, where, he stated, a gratifying improvement of physical conditions were found.
 The report showed that only four cases of dengue fever have been re- ported to the health office, due, 1t Is said. to the effort to eliminate the mosquito which has been very ef- fective during the past two summers.

'CLAyS OF GEORGIA 1. ARE GIVEN US. TEST
Deposits Sufficient For Gener. ations to Come-Compete
 With China Clay

Following a series of comprehen- sive tests of Georgia clays. it Is an- nounced with highest authority that the deposits are sufficient for the needs of the natlon for generations to come. This statement is made by Dr. R. T. Stull. chief ceramist, United States bureau of mines, the leading ceramist of America.
 This and other data bearing on the clays of Georgia are contained in a statement Of the Central of Georgia railroad, appearing in another column. President Winburn has lent the good offices and help of the rail- road in bringing these facts to light.
 "The object of the railway" says President Winburn, was to ascertain facts upon which program of de- vetopment might be based. The tests were conducted in the ceramic sta ton of the United States bureau of mines and in numerous manufactur ing plants and potteries. The work is still in progress, but enough has been done to establish the fact that Georgia kaolin can compete in the industries with the English china clay now so largely imported"

reserved decision yesterday after hear
ing argument from both sides on James
Stillman's attack on Justice Nor

port Of Referee Gleason finding Mrs.
Stillman innocent of wrongdoing and
her baby Guy legitimate.
The hearing was on the bankers
appeal from Justice Secgcr's refusal to
vacate Justice Morschauser's decision.
The plaintiff contends that the latter
had no jurisdiction, inasmuch as he
filed notice of motion with Justice
Tompkins before Mrs. Stillman's law
yers took the case before him.
"ln effect" the bankers attorney
said yesterday, 'justice was miscar-
ried when Justice Tompkins was not
allowed to decide the matter. There
has been no serious attempt by my ad-
versaries to justify this practice.

We may appeal on The proper grounds,
where this scandal may be remedied.

Furthermore, in Staylon's opinion.
that wave had q "kick" in it, and its
alcoholic content was decidedly more

words, Stayton believes-and is sup

delegates and officials in attendance
at the convention-that the American
people are definitely opposed to the
imposed by the Eighteenth
amendment and it's corallary enact
ment, the Yolstead act. The con-
vention will discuss plans for securing
modification Of the Volstead act and
eventually repeating or dehorning the
Eighteenth Amendment.
Although the association is opposed
to all prohibitory laws in connection
