GERMAN WOMEN ARE
TECHNICAL STUDENTS

HEIDELBERG, May 27.-Tha
number of women students in the
German universities has more than
doubled in the last ten years. Recent
statistics show that in 1914 there
were 400 women students, while
today there are 1881.
Medicine, jurisprudence and
studies designed to fit the students
to become teachers are the most
popular classes, Notwithstanding the
fact that these professions already
are very much over-crowded.
German women this year have
taken a greater interest in agci-
cultural subjects than at any other
time, and all of the universities re-
Fort enlarged classes also in archi-
lecture engineering and other tech
nical studies.

STREET VENDORS ARE
BARRED FROM SCHOOLS

ATHENS, May 27.-Without OPP
position from anyone on tke grounds
that sit deprives personal liberty
and will make lunch bootleggers"
the board of education here voted
to prohibit children from buying
lunches at school or from street
vendors while in school hours that
do not conform to a menu prepared
by the Health Educationalist of the
public schools. The vote was unan-
imous. This means that hot dogs, +"
hamburger sandwiches and clammy
rolls or other indigestible food must
60 so far as school children are
concerned. Of course they can
bring a lunch to school if they want
to, but lunches served by the school
must conform to the rules and those
bought during school hours MUST
also do so.

CENTRAL. TO SPEND
$4,000 IN TESTS
Soil Refrigeration Plats VIII
Be Established Along Line of
Railway

SAVANNAH, May 27.-An ap-
preparation of $4,000 to encourage
soil redinttegration has been auth
orized by President l.. A. Downs
Of the Central of Georgia Railway.
The Railway company will spend
$125, in each of the eighty coun-
ties it serves, to prove that soil
waste may be checked and soil few
tilty increased.
Why prove fact so well known?
Because knowing is not doiEg.
Much has been learned about dong
in the past few years, and there is
a need for proving that a combina-
ton Of methods both old and new
will get results. Increased crop
yields, due to increased plant food
obtained at a cost which will show
a good profit, is the result desired,
Proving that this may be done,
calls for the adoption of unfamiliar
methods, and larger expenditure
than many farmers feel justified in
attempting, until they have actual
" seen the increased crops. There
fore the Management of the Cen
trail of Georgia believes the railroad
company can afford to pay half the
cost of the needed expenditure to
establish in each of the counties it
serves in Alabama and Georgia, a
soil redintegration test plot, to be
farmed according to methods pre-
scribed by the State Agricultural
Colleges.
Soil building, soil red.ntegratiNn,
or whatever it may be called, is not
a problem of the Southeast alone.
Agricultural authorities everywhere
are giving it the most careful study
The Southeast has a wonderful
growing climate, lots of sun, and
plenty of rain. Consequently we
have rapid plant growth, and equal
ly rapid exhaustion of soil fertility.
The South's main crop leaves vecy
little on the land to go back to the
soil. Clean cultivation of cotton
helps the sun and rain to evaporate
and leach out plant food.
But our conditions that favor soil
depletion, also favor the rapid
growth of plants that will restore
nitrogen and humus to the soil.
Soil Redintegration Is tie whole
process of preserving, rest 5ring, and
increasing the fertility and produc-
tiveness of on soil. The Central of
Georgia Railway wants to cooperate
with men who are willing to take
the lead in the practice of this pro-
cess, for the benefit Of their nei gE-
bors as well as themselves.

Remember, this fact: You may have stop

A farmer who was carrying an express
package from city mail order house was
accosted by local merchant with the
words: Why didn't you buy that bill Of
goods from me?" he asked. Il could have
saved you the express and besides you
would have been patronizing home store,
which helps to pay the taxes and build up
this community.
With characteristic frankness the farmer
replied. why don't you patronize your
home paper and advertise your goods2 |
read it and didn't know you have the
goods | have here nor do | see your name
IN the paper inviting me to come to your

1t is the best interest of the community for

home of a customer for him to read.
Nor does a sign over the door bring. Gus

A hundred eyes

He who buys had need have hun
dred eyes, said Poor Richard.
That was quite true in his time When
ever you needed anything, you had to go
to this store-then to that store across
the street-to every place that carried the
thing you needed. If you missed any one
of them, you might be overlooking the
very place that held the bargain you
sought.

fortably seated in your armchair, you
simply take your paper and read through
the advertisements.
So, later, when you do go out to buy, you
know exactly where you are going. You
know just what you are going to get You
know just how much you are going to pay.
Read the advertisements They deserve
your attention. They save you time, la
Dor and money. 1t is to your advantage to

Chesney Also Wins Tro-
ply In Shoot At The
B. G. c. Saturday

Quite a bunch Of shooters took part
in the Ford Cola shoot at the BirminGL
ham Gun club Saturday afternoon, and
some good scores were staged. The 100

contested. M. C. Tyler, who has been
from the trap Of laet, landed high score
with but one down, going out with a
80. Tyler would not compete for the

One OF the most agreeable surprises
OF the afternoon was when L. L.
Stephenson was brought out to the club
for a little visit. Stephenson has been
rather Ill, having been operated on some
few weeks ago, and the shooters have
been very anxious about him, and each
one present was glad to see him up
and able to get out. M. F. DozIer got
started off bad in his first so but
snuffed out 49 out Of his last so. He
is coming to the front as a good de-
pendable shot now, as he hovers around
the 80 mark OF late. H. C. Abbott was
just getting right at the last as he
broke a ~ in his last event. The longest
run made for the day was made by
NJ. c. Tyler with 81 straight. Carl came

FINLEY TRAINS
|. FOR HARD BOUT
WITH ]. M'ClNTY
Championship OF South
TO Be At Stake In Fight
At B. A. C. Friday

Jimmy Finley, who boxes John Nc
Ginty Friday night here, has always
been suite successful in his Birming-
ham engagements. As matter OF
fact he has been successful almost
everywhere he has fought, and while
madam lightly, nor lie he looking for
easy pickings In his bout with. Nc
Ginty, Johnnys ultimate goal and the
thing that usurps most OF his thoughts
Ii the fact that he hopes to be weiter-
weight champion OF the world one OF
year, at that. Finley believes in him
self so strongly that he is OF the opin-
ion that IL he were thrown in the ring
with Mickey Walker, the welter cham
pion, today, that he would emerge
winner.
Doubtful of Johnny
Many Birmingham fans figure, how
ever, that Johnny win stub his toe in
his attempted march to the weller
throne Friday night, and that they will
see the welterweight championship Of
the south change hands when the local
freshman goes cunning for him Friday
night. Supporters of McGinty to win
the Friday night tilt have dope sheet
framed up which looks quite clean,
that fact that McGinty knocked Bat
thing Kelly for q row Of looks, whereas
the best Finley could get with the
Battler was a draw. They will show
you in the record books where Finley
drew with Larry Avera of Atlanta and
that Johnny came along later and plas-A
tered the Indian sign on Avera. They
also point with more or less pride to
comparisons OF Johnny's work and
yimmy's showing against Battling Budd
Of Atlanta. The Irishman beat Budd
dscisively. The best the welterweight
champion Of the south could get against
Budd was a draw.
So, having these facts and figures
In hand, Johnny's local supporters are
counting on the Irishman's crashing
through to the southern welterweight
title Friday night.
First Title Bout
II is the first time that B. A. C. Of
ficials have ever been able to offer its
patronage q championship. tilt, and by
virtue OF this fact they are planning
to entertain the biggest crowd that ever
packed and damned itself into the B.
A. C. gym Friday night. It ia an
nounced that the advance ticket sale
for the scrap would begin Wednesday,
and that the pasteboards would be
doled ON first-come -first-served basis.
In spite of the fact that many new
seats have been added, B. A. c. Off
Gals fear that some will be turned
away Friday night. The semi-windup
and the prelims will also be in keeping
with the main 60. and the best fistic
card ever offered locally Is assured.
