Former Woman Champion Ez-

Miss AIexa Stirling. of Atlanta, Ga,

r. L. Redfsld, of Pennington and

bringing his party to play golf in the
afternoon at the Shuttle Meadow club.

little luck with her putting, missing
several short ones and getting no
breaks in luck to drop the longer ones.
otherwise the story might have been
chronicled even a lower score. Her
long game and iron play was accu-
rate in both distance and direction
and the shots were made with a seem
ing lack of effort that is the mark of
practically all leading golfers. Time
and again the little woman was driv-
ing with the men for 200 yards or
better and she was almost invariably
straighter to the pin than were her
male opponents. In the rare occa-
sions that tiouble threatened or was
present she made recoveries that,
after all, are the true tests of the
golfer. The 79 is probably a. course
record for women on the local links.

Hull said last night that none of the
cases of men charged with violation
of the prohibition law had come to
his court 'as yet" the cases going

he had a number of plans which
he was considering but was not yet

A Wonder Engine.

The claim that Diesel engine has been
invented and built out in California that will
propel motor car so miles at a cost for
fuel OF 215 cents is one that the gasoline
world will hesitate to accept until proofs are
forthcoming An engine of that kind would
be a wonder indeed. 1t is certainty that
the majority of persons, even if they saw
such an engine in operation, would feel just
like the farmer felt who looked at his first
giraffe. and would say just about what he
said on that memorable occasion.
This is so close to miracle that doubt is
felt at once that the claim can be substan-
tiated 1t is noticed that one of the men in
terested in the wonder engine said zone is
already in operation at our plant" but that
does not dispel the misgivings regarding the
truth OF the statements. Scientists have been
saying that thmbleful OF matter could be
employed to operate a railroad train II the
atomic energy could be properly released
And when one can trade postage stamp
for fuel that will drive his motor car AZ
miles or so he is getting very close to the
atomic energy idea as far as achievement is
concerned.
Even the fact that this is the wonder age
does not help the impression of this so-called
wonder engine along. Claims of the discov-
cry of perpetual motion also have been made
but nobody ever discovered it. And now the
next thing to consider in the motoring world
is not the possibilities of the wonder engine
but the changing price OF gasoline and the
mileage that modern engines give now.

A Note of Warning.

The position OF former Governor John M.
Slaton of Georgia opposing an abandonment
of Georgia ideals and constitutional provi-
sions, particularly as to taxation, has proved
to be a subject of absorbing interest among
business men and editors throughout the
state
The pressing problem of taxation is chal-
longing the best and most varied thought OF
Georgia AS has been pointed out, it is big
question not to be solved by small minds.
And the distinctly hopeful thing in the entire
situation. says James B. Nevin, well-known
Atlanta editor. is that the problem is chal-
longing the serious thought and candid ex-
preston of Georgia's leading men, regardless
of faction or political alignment.
Former Governor Slaton, in discussing the
sutherland few men are better informed on
the question OF state taxes-says:
1T causes me great sorrow to see
Willingness expressed by people in Geor-
gia to abandon a Georgia civilization, to
adopt the theories of continental Europe,
which is now. decadent because OF their I'M
wisdom. In this state our idea has been that
the citizen shall support the state, and not
the state support the citizen. This has pro-
duced a strong, forceful people. In Europe,
where there are monarchies, soldiers and Of
fcias on every corner, the government has
been paternal, and while taking from the
citizen his liberties has provided his sup
port and determined his course If this coun-
try desires to initiate Europe then, by the
increasing tax levies, we are adopting the
best mode to do So"

Editor Dawson News; After studying care

the superior quality of the berries grown IN
our climate and soil. The firm, dark clay sub sub

you know, is about four weeks at least later
than Terrell county growers began. Tennes-
see has just shipped the first carload. There
is no good reason why Terrell county should
not make carload shipment in April OF next
year, if few more farmers will join those
who have made abundant crops this year
1t is conceded fact already that there has
been no crop grown in Terrell that will re-
turn as large net cash profits as strawber-

they can handle to advantage, and those who
have experience will show you way to

RUDE RURAL RHYMES
lADVICE TO GARDENERS.

The original garden, eastward of Eden, had
every kind of fruit and seed in. When man
left Eden for Edens good, he lost this old
time wholesome food. But by some thous-
and years selection, we now have made a
new collection. When you make a garden
YOU want it complete, not too much carrot
and too little beet. These are the kinds OF
truck crop things which every garden should
have, by jings. First are the leaves like spin
ach and chard and lettuce which fill this
hard-eating bard with plenty of iron and
vitamins with strength and grace and health
full grins. The leaf crops too will furnish
1oughage required by tender age and tough
age. The snappy snap bean in the diet has
varied use and all should try it. Sweet corn
we eat with some restraint-if we have sense
which this bard hain't. Your time on carrots
is we'll spent, but catch them young and in
nocent So also beets, best when they re
small and better eaten tops and all, since all
the leaves beneath their skins are full or iron

air and plant tomatoes everywhere. Your

A Pampered Pup.
From the Washington Star.

OF all the pampered pups known to man
kind Otto, the giant German police dog be-
longing to Senator Oscar w. Underwood, OF
Alabama. certainly takes the hot frankfurter
Otto is sitting on the top of the world He is
living in solemn state at the Underwood home
in that one-time aristocratic section OF Wash
ington, 1000 G street northwest. Otto's lord
and master is in Europe, visiting the tomb Of
Tut and seeing the other wondrous sights and
hearing the wondrous tales of a postwar Old
World. If the lord and master could have ar
ranged it he would have taken Otto with
him, but European dog guarantees and reg
ulations and passports make it entirely too
hard for pampered pup, and so Otto was OF
necessity left behind. A year ago Senator I'm
derwood went away and left Otto in strange
hands. The dog didn't thrive at all. In fact, he
suffered. Therefore, it was arranged this year
that Otto should have the entire Underwood
home to himself, with a cook butler and
gardner to look out for him.
Otto is well known to most members OF
the senate. Whenever the Underwood auto
mobile calls for the senator at the end of the
day Otto always sits beside the chauffeur.
He is one-man dog and loves his masters
voice.

The Malaria Carrying Mosquito.

Dawsons immediate need for the protec-
ton of the community health is determm-
ed and persistent fight on mosquitoes and
mosduito-born diseases. J. A. LePrince, SEN
ior sanitary engineer of the United States
public health service, who is so well quail
fed to speak on the subject, makes timely
comment and suggestions relative to the APP
preaching mosquito season in the south.
For many years we have been satisfied
with the partial protection from the mos
quito pest obtained by screening our houses.
But the public are evidently no longer salts
fed to pay fifty million dollars year to be
driven behind screens and in many locali-
ties they have not only decided that the
pestiferous and disease bearing mosquito
must 60 but are actually eliminating both
species. In one southern state over two hun
dred communities were busy last year with
mosquito elimination.
In many localities the public are now
ready for mosquito protection, and, in fact
paying for partial screen protection, but they
do not get together to discuss their local
mosquito problem and determine just what
it is. Nobody steps to the front to see that
proper start is made.
What sort of mosquito problem have yor
in the community in which you live? Some
small communities in rural districts are wor
rying along with a high sick-rate and dis
comforts that are not at all necessary anC
which cost more to support than to eliminate
Your state health department has trained
mosquito men out in the field to help anC
to show you how your community can ge
most results for least expenditure. Mosquito
freedom is just like everything else-frst W.
must decide that we want it and then W.
must go out and get it.
Let no one look upon this matter OF elm
mating flies and mosquitoes as of minor i'm
portance 1t is so vital to the best interest,"

Weddings.
From the Atlanta Georgian.

How much should man have saved be
fore he marries? Estimates have varied. In
Kentucky $3.50 is regarded as reasonable
sum; and even that may be cut, because
trate's fee $3.50.
To be sure, before the couple established
the financial basis referred to had left the
Justices office the sheriff appeared with in
tent to stop the ceremony. But that is a de
tail He was too late Love, with $3.50 tc
back it, had dreamed itself into wedlock.
Not puppy love- either. The bride was 40
the bridegroom 43. They had reached years
OF discretion. And though they faced 20
mile walk back to the poor house, where
they were inmates, they set forth with heads
up and a swinging ste0.
They were probably sure OF one thing
Their marriage was at least as likely to en-
dure as if they had four and a half million
dollars between them. Too much is as dan
gerous as too little.

Fashionable Fatness.
From the Fitzgerald Herald.

Fatness-perhaps we should say p1umpness

suddenly become fashionable in Paris, and
the rest of the world may be expected to fol

especially for stout patrons. The leading
dressmakers are specializing in gowns of am
pie proportions. The doctors are besought all
at once for fattening foods. Sweets are in
big demand There is a run on drug stores
for medicines guaranteed to add weight and
girth quickly. To be skinny has become a
social error.
All OF which is amusing rather than useful
The vogue for thinness silly as it was in
many ways, had the substantial merit OF

A Bit One-Sided.
From the cambridge Post

The idea of Governor Hardwick to pay the
families OF convicts for their work is a bit
one-sided, to say the least of it. Why not
pay the family of a murdered man pen
sion, too? 1t would be just as fair and more
square, for the average murdered man has
not time to arrange his business matters The
country is certainly putting a premium on
crime as sure as the world stands. 1t is a
shame that our people don't stop this hys-
terra. Il a man is deferred at all from crime
it is the fact that he knows that his family
will have to suffer. If you pension a muir
derer's family half who kill will be glad to
be rid of supporting their families. If you
then remove the chance to make him work
by abolishing the lash and not allow him to
be punished for infracton of rules, and give
him a fare at the table that is better than

somebody and get in the penitentiary He
will fare better and his folks will get more.
