Youthful Marital Bonds Mean
Heartaches and DisiIIu-
sionment Thirty-0ne
Early Enough She Says
BY MARIAN HALE

NEW YORK, Sept. Marry late
if you'd be happy. The youthful
marriage spells heartache and dis
illusionment. So says the worlds
youngest grandmother.
She is Anna Chandler, just turn
ed 81. Confirmed yaudeville-goers
who have seen this animated bit OF
bobbed hair and flhff whfrl out onto
the stage and into the jazziest of
ragtime probably will gasp as much
at one confession as the other.
But the title of youngest grand
mothers is not one for any girl to
covet,'' she told me.
mo girl ought to marry before
she is rs. 1 was IA when my baby
girl was born. She was 16 when she
told me she was going to be married.
l didn't want her to- was afraid
she was just in love with love, as
so many of us are when we're
young. But she did-and now her
baby is three months DID,"
The worlds youngest grandmoth-
err smiled ruefully.
"a woman is most attractive at
81.
"The woman of 81 has all that
the girl of II can offer-plus ex-
perience.
81 think men get heartily sick of
a girl who beats and bleass with
out ever saying anything.
"Men truly love the woman who
knows how to manage them.
"These are among the reasons
why the girl who marries young
cannot be happy.
"She doesn't know what love is.
She has no means of knowing
whether her husband will become
a substantial business man or a
dead loss on her hands. Shesdoesn't
know how to manage men. Lacking
this kno ledge, frequently she loses
the little happiness life might offer
Ter.
eff she has children they demand
all her energy; and 81, which should
sc her a lovely, mature woman at
the height Of her powers, frequently
finds her dull and discouraged, look
ing forward to old age"
Blu the worlds youngest grand
mother looking forward to dull, dis
couraging old age?
My goodness, who ever thought of
such a thing?
IT could fascinate a man now
more quickly than I could 10 years
ago." she told me. And I'm not
nearly SO good looking, either"

Blackshear Tobacco
Sales Double 1922:

wAYCROSs, Ga. Sept. 1.-The
bulk of the tobacco to be disposed
of in the market warehouses at
Blackshear will be sold by the end
of the present week, according to
present indications. This does not
mean, however, that the marketing
season in this section of the state is
to close this week, for there is a
great deal of tobacco. some of which
is of the very best quality, yet to
be sold, the disposal of which is ex
pected to take at least two weeks
yet.
The Blackshear markets have al
ready more than doubled their sales
oyer the figures for last year. The
total sales through this week, it is
expected, will pass three and half
million pounds for the season, and
by that time the sales will have
amounted to more than $1,000,O00.

Pet of Carroll County Is
Brought Here by |, F, CAM
treIE Whose Father Found
1t in 1874

A highland terrapin from Carroll
county, known to be more than
fifty-two years old, paid visit to
Atlanta yesterday in the custody of
I. F. Cantrell, of Burweli, Ga, whose
father found it in 1871 and cut his
initials and the date in the under
she'll
The terrapin, healthy looking and
very friendly, is more than 100
years old, in the opinion of Mr.. Can
trell.
"He was full grown when I first
saw him in 1871" Mr.. Cantrell said,
land he looks very little older now.
L believe he will live at least fifty
years longer"
"Tarry," as the Carroll county
folk call the terrapin, has crawled
over the Cantren farm for years and
years but has never left it, With
a range of 80 acres, "Tarry' roams
while and then some one catches
him and makes a captive of him for
few days. Mr.. Cantrell says he
usually shows up every few years.
When at large "Tarry" probably
eats anything he can find. When in
captivity he eats bananas and other
fruits, and occasionally a stalk of
celery.
Several times "Tarry' has been
placed on exhibition at county fairs
and affairs like that. He always at
tracts wide interest due ITO the dates
and initials carved OF his under
shell.
M. c. Cantrel1, father of "Tarry's"
present owner, carved his initials
in 1871. Nothing more was seen Of
the terrapin until 1876, when more
initials and the date were carved on
his shell. Then "Tarry" would
show up about every eight or ten
years.
Mr.. Cantrel1 last found him a week
ago. He brought him to Atlanta
and will keep him in captivity I'M
til Monday, when he will again set
him free.
But he'll come back-he always
does" he said.
Thirty years ago "Tarry'' was
caught in forest fire and, as a re-
suit, has a big scar on his back,
caused from his burns.

HUNDRED Dry MEN
AND FLEET NEEDED.
D|S|NUKE DECLARES

One hundred field men to scour
the state and small fleet of eagle
boats plying off TIE coast could
make Georgia bone dry Fred D..
Dismuke, federal prohibition direc-
tor in the state, said Saturday.
Mr.. ,Dismuke made the statement
in discussing present whisky condi-
tons in the state in which he ex-
planned certain recommendations he
has made relative to breaking up
the smuggling of whisky on the At
lantic coast.
Conditions in Georgia are more
favorable at present than they have
been at any time during the last
year, Mr.. Dismuke said. He explain
ed that even with a reduced force
his department having been forced
to pare its personnel from 81 field
men to 22-inroads are steadily be-
ing made upon the whisky traffic.
Moonshining Broken Up
AL DlGSS1ly IlC NCNActL CQ1 WV
have practically broken up moon
shining the mountains of north
Georgia. So effectively has the
counties in that section can now
boast of not having single still
within their boundaries.
"In south and middle Georgia,
however, the condition is practically
the reverse. A large quantity of
illicit whisky is being breWed IN
those sections, and the agents are
being hard pressed to cope with the
situation"
Whisky smuggling along the
coast is not Mr.. Dismukes problem,
he explained. That is the work OF
sbecial men assigned to that duty.
Mr.. Dismuke. however, is vitality
interested in it since much of the
liquor being sold in the state is
struggled in through the ports.
With view of stopping such
liquor from coming into the state
he has suggested plan which If
carried out, he believes, will break
up whisky smuggling.
Dry Boats Too Slow
"AlI boats carrying whisky are
known to the agents. They have
been spotted, but under present con-
ditions the liquor boats, most OF
which are light and speedy, can
eIude the more cumbersome govern
mcnt vessels or9>else from their
light draught can dodge in among
the keys off the coast and hide
away.
t'That condition can be changed
i: the government will put fleet OF
fast Eagle boats off the coast with
instructions to follow the liquor car
r,ers. They can't prevent these boats
from loading at the warehouses at
Bimini, Bermuda, Havana and
other places in the Caribbean sea,
but by sticking with them on the
trip back to the states they can
prevent the unloading of any of the
liquor"
Mr.. Dismuke said that with the
supply of imported whisky cut off,
hu believed one hundred men scat
tered along the border of the state
and assigned to flying squadrons to
scour the interior could wipe out
every still and stop all blockade
waisl1y.

l. S. SCIENTISTS
READY IN MEXICO
FOR SUN SECL|PSEE:

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. deep
down in the hills OF Mexico, near
Yarbaniz, state of Durango, an
American astronomical expedition,
headed by DR.. John A. Miller, vice
president of Swarthmore college and
director of the Philadelphia Sproul
Astronomical Observatory, is wait
ing to observe a solar eclipse on
September 10.
The scientists, while observing
the eclipse of the sun, plan to test
the Einstein theory on the blending
of light. DR.. Miller claims that if
the Einstein theory is true, the ray
of light coming from a star, near so
large a body of the sun, would be
sent out of its course.
Stars apparently in the neighbor-
hood of the sun would not appear
in the same position at the time Of
the eclipse as they did some months
before.
The test of the theory will be
made in a comparison of the starry
IlSlQ I11dQS OH Lie tlcty VI lA4S OClAPoN
with the photographs of the same
field made some months before.
DR.. Miller also aims to solve the
problem of the release of energy by
the sun, which he believes may be
comparable to the release of energy
by the atom. The tests will be
made by sixty-foot camera.
Ten other similar groups of scien-
lists will observe the same eclipse
from different points and then COM
pare their Photographic records on
the phenomenon.
Professor w. w. Campbell. of the
Nick Observatory, last year virtually
verified the Einstein theory when he
photographed the eclipse from Aus
tralia. The value of the work was
impaired by a small refraction and
DR.. Miller plans to further carry on
the notification.
With DR.. Miller are Mrs. Miller,
Prof. r. w. Merritt and Mrs. Mer-
rift; Prof. r. w. Wright, of Swarth-
more; Prof. H. D. Curtis, director
of the Allegheny Observatory; Prof.
Sinsmere Alter, of the University of
Kansas; three students from Swarth-
more and two students from Har-
ward.

COURT AND LEAGUE
INSEP ARABLE, SAYS
OSCAR UNDERWOOD

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept. l.
In an interview published in today's
Chattanooga News, Senator Oscar
w. Underwood, aspirant for the
Democratic presidential nomination
in 1924, said that "the court cannot
be divided from the League of Ma
tions, unless we want to make it a
joke"
The senator took issue with the
position of world court advocates
who likewise wish to separate il
utterly from the League of Nations.
'You can't create a court without
principles of law to govern it, for
if you did, you would have the rule
of q car" he said. "a court at.
tached to the League of Nations de-
cides questions on certain principles
fixed by the league. 1t differs from
The Hague tribunal in that the latter
only decides law upon certain agreed
statements of fact, while the world
court decides both as to the facts
and as to law.
THE superior court of Tennessee,
for instance, decides cases on the
constitution of Tennessee and the
United States and the acts Of the
46uIleSSSS 1SSASldluIO. II IQICIlOllS
from the legislature of Tennessee. If
it had no such body of organized
principles to direct its actions, it
would not be good institution. AnG
similarly it is an entirely imprac-
ticable thing to separate the world
court from the league"
The senator reiterated his Mont
gomery position on prohibition-"I
am unqualifiedly for the enforcement
of prohibition and said that he
did not think prohibition would be
an issue in the campaign. He did
not know if the move for so-called
liberalization of the Volstead act in
certain eastern states would be an
issue, as he had not studied senti-
ment in those states, adding that "in
the south I haven't heard prohibit
ton discussed. The south takes it
as an accepted fact"
Soothing syrup remedies for the
farmers ills didn't impress the Ala
bama aspirant. 1--WE must re-estab-
lish the normal markets for wheat,
cotton and meat" he said. "Sooth-
ing syrup won't do any good. The
European market is needed to take
the surplus of our agricultural pro
duction, and so long as it fails, the
farmer is faced with trouble. L
don't see any indication of stabili-
zation overseas-ir fact, it looks as
if things are getting worse instead of
better. We can't build markets when
countries are going to war"
