next Tuesday as a special order OF

today by the state senate of the bill
to create a state port terminal on

committees made their reports to-

As explained by supporters Of the
state port bill from Savannah at a
banquet for members of the leais-
lature last night, the port measure
would authorize the state to i'm
prove a deep water harbor with
terminal facilities Including
wharves, docks, warehouses, rail-
road tracks and grain elevators.
The improvements would be made
through state bonds, not to exceed
$15,000,O0O. The site of the pro-

Writing on Pinhe1d
No Longer Novelty

Wandering about town one might
get the idea that America had de-
veloped a new lndustry-that Of en-
craving the Lords prayer on pinheads.
The impression Is strengthened II one
takes to visiting the regions in which
sideshows flourish, near town or along
the rustic routes Of the travelling
shows.
Considering that the man who en-
graved the prayer on a pin few
years ago was reported to have gone
blind and insane as a result or his
three years Of application, one might
almost pause to ask II all this pin en-
craving were not dangerous. There
IL no fear, however; the engraved pin
business has been placed on d safe
and sane basis, remarks the New York
Times.
The original pin was all that has
been said for 1t. On a disk forty
seven one-thousandths OF an Inch In d.
ameter there were engraved 65 words
with 254 letters, and nearly 1000 lines
had TO be cut In doing it. The original
might conceivably have got lost In a
sewing basket and gone the way or
all pins. But a die was made Of Il
no inconslderable Job in Itself-and
the market IL now supplied from the
die.

to Deal With Scorpion

stung BY d large scorpion-stung

Major Latimer was probably one Of
the worlds greatest technicians In the
art OF profanity. He tore loose with
his entire vocabulary when the virus

he concluded he was going to die, as
many other scorpion stingees had.

azine. The pain ceased Immediately
and the major felt no further dlscom-
fort. Thereafter we knew how to
treat scorpion sting. This may be
old stuff.
Another little trick OF CARVING was
to catch scorpion, hold 1t by the
head from beneath with thumb and
finger, and with his other hand tear
out the muscle that actuated the scor-
pion's sting. You know the scorpion
must flip his tail up over his head to
strike. After CARVING had performed
this operation the scorpion was help
less to sting, though his locomotion
was not interfered with.

The frequent association OF trees
