RUM FLEET SHIFTS
. To VIRGINIA CAPES;;
CUTTERS FOLLOW

NORFOLK, Va, May 23.--Rum
runners which have shifted their
scene of operations from the Jersey
coast to the Virginia capes, faced
a counter concentration of coast
guard craft there today.
When the rum runner Cartona,
with a cargo of liquors from Ber-
muda, was reported at the Norfolk
coast guard office yesterday to have
dropped anchor alongside the Istar
which has been off the capes for
several days, two other coast guard
craft were sent to join the revenue
cutter Manning.
1t was understood that third
coast guard vessel had been ordered
from New York.
Much of the liquor cargo of the
Istar and Cartona, which are flying
the British flag, is reported to have
been landed and distributed, al
though agents for the runners were
said to be trying to find a purchaser
for 1000 cases of liquor.

Feeding to Harden l.
Georgia Hog Meat
Sought by Experts

Experiments in feeding in an eff
fort to find practical means of pro-
ducing firmer meat on hogs in
Georgia regions where they must
be fed largely on feeds tending to
soften the meat, ar con the years
program of the federal department
of agriculture. The federal Off
Gals will attempt to discover a
feeding formulate which will permit
feeding young hogs peanuts and
other softening feeds, but which
will later develop harder carcasses.
Experiments have shown, accord
ing to the department of egricul-
ture, that when hogs started at an
approximate weight of 100 pounds
were fed on peanuts for sixty days,
a soft carcass was produced, and
that it was impossible to produce
a hard carcass by feeding corn
and tankage or corn and cottonseed
meal to these soft hogs for a subse-
quent period of sixty days. Hun
dred-pound pigs softened on pea
nuts during a sixty-day period were
made firmer by subsequent feeding
on hardening feed, the department
declares, citing it's experiments, but
adds that no practical method of
producing a strictly hard carcass
from such hogs has been found.

BIBLE SCHOOL MAY
ERECT A 100000
PLANT At EMORY

The Scarret Bible Training school
is planning to move from Kansas
City and it has entered into nego-
tiations looking toward removal to
Atlanta and affiliation with Emory
university, it was learned Wednes-
day from DR.. w. H. Cox, Emory
president.
Establishment of the Bible school
in conjunction with Emory would
mean the addition of $1,0O0,0OO
plant and between 800 and 500 stu
dents to the rapidly growing univer-
sity, it was stated,
DIR. Cox said the Kansas City
school was casting about for another
location and that the city offering
utilization with the best educational
institution would obtain the Bible
school. He declared prospects favor
Atlanta and Emory.
It was pointed out that, Emory's
extensive campus in Druid Hills
offers a clinching argument in favor
of the Bible school locating here
Atlanta's ranking as the southern
educational center is another point
in Emory's favor.
DR. Cox said the proposal had not
reached the executive committee of
the board of trustees but that he
was preparing to take it up with
that body Immediately. The board
of trustees also meets in about two
weeks, during Emory commence
ment, and they also are expected to
consider the matter.
DR.. Cox said Bishop Warren A.
Gambler, dean of bishops in the
Southern Methodist church and one
of the leading factors in Emory's
development, had indorsed the Scar
ret proposition.
The Scarret school is coeduca-
tional. Its location on the Emory
campus probably would be the be-
ginning of a movement to make
Emory co-educational, it was said.
Women students now are admitted
to the graduate school and to the

LOSSES ON MELONS
REDUCED; TIPS ON
HANDLING OFFERED

Losses suffered by watermelon
growers shipping their melons in
clean, well-ventilated cars and de-
Hvered within a reasonable length
of time, are attributable to four
causes, according to information re-
ceived here from the United States
department of agriculture.
These four causes are announced
as follows: Melons affected with
bad anthracnose peck marks; Sc
verely sun Scalded or stale fruit;
melons that carry cuts and bruises
as d result of careless handling,
and melons, the stems of which
have not been reclipped and treated
for prevention of stem end rot.
In Georgia, the reports indicate
that the losses have been cut from
14.4 per cent in 1920 to S.S per cent
in 1921 and CO per cent in 1922.
The decrease in Florida shipments
has been from 1876 per cent in 1920
to 5.3 per cent in 1922.
To avoid losses, watermelon grow
ers are being urged ky the depart.
ment of agriculture to carry out
the following suggestions:
IF possible avoid working while
the vines are wet.
Never permit labor to handle
rotten melons in the field and then
work with fruit for shipment.
Never permit clipper to handle
or to touch knife to rotten melons
in the field.
Never permit clipper to cut into
melons while pushing knife through
the stem.
Never permit clipper to stand
melons on end to mark them in the
field
Insist on careful handling by the
tote boys and wagon men.
Pad wagons thoroughly in order
to avoid nail or splinter punctures,
cuts and bruises.
Load on the day melons are clip
ped m a clean dry car, the walls
of which have been papered. Use
dry straw for bedding. If possible,
pad ends of car, although not in
such a way as to obstruct venti-
1ators These should be fastened
open.
Handle carefully when unloading
melons from wagons and packing.
Do not allow labor to stand or sit
on melons.
Reject melons that do not have
firm green stem, Or that show
sunscald or bad anthracnose mark
ing.
Apply stem treatment, reclipping
stems to firm green surface before
applying the disinfectant paste"

Referring to an estimate by the

Notwithstanding this unaccount-

Mocking Birds Song
flushed by Threat
OF Action in Court

An ever-impelling desire on the
part of a hooking bird belonging
20 A. Lomax, of 272 Oglethorpe
avenue, to sing, came near bring
ing the bird and its owner into
police court Wednesday morning
after Chief of Police Beavers had
received a complaint from a neigh
Dor of Mr.. Lomax that after TWEEN
ty-three hours of listening to the
bird each day, it's voice had grown
monotonous.
Upon receiving the complaint,
Chief Beavers telephoned Mr.. Lo-
max that he had received word that
the birds continuous singing was
Objectionable and that he would like
to judge the question himself. The
bird was brought to the phone and
rendered a beautiful concert for the
chief, initiating the calls of almost
every creature in the feathery
kingdom from sparrow to a
canary.
1t was explained that the birds
singing had attracted another bird
to the trees Of the grounds and that
they sang in relays. However, after
consideration, Chief Beavers put
the bird on probation, and the own
er put a dark cloth over the cage
fow a few hours to still its singing.
