Ban on Radio
Too many radio stations in the cit
of Chicago, making the enjoyment o
opera too easy and too cheap 70
many who would otherwise 1eav
their homes of evenings and purchas
tickets, have caused the dlscontinu
ance of broadcasting opera, that must
lovers may support it by their pres
ence, while they enjoy it.
A Newspaper Exhibit
One of the most interesting volume
of old newspaper files in the state, i
that one in the possession of a Wash
ington, Ga, man, called the Auror
Advertiser and of 1909 date. One is
sue contains the address of Presiden
Madison, another one a protest con
corning Robert Fulton's claim to in
venting the first steam boat. Their

critics in Maryland become over roac
improvement that they made prelim
mary plans for working all Jail prison
ers by the day regardless of convic-
tons or penalties. The governor in

PHILIPPINE Co-Education
The reports of the last school year
in the PHILIPPINES show remarkable
trend in the increasing number OF
women to take advantage of co-educa-
tional privilege. One-fourth of the
number receiving university degrees
were women, and even in medicine
the ratio was to II, while in phar-
maceutical chemistry there were AZ
women out of the class of 40.
State Fair at Savannah
The agreement to move the State
Fair from Macon to Savann h for a
period of ten years will be a Stimulus
toward making it a larger and more
valuable enterprise, of greater attrac-
ton to visitors and of more concen-
trated benefits to- a larger number OF
interests in the state, not lessen1n2
that Of agriculture. The tendency to
get in a rut is as true of state fairs
as it is of local activities in the towns.
A complete change is good for almost
everything and ANYBODY.

pirate memorial exercises on the Cap,
itol grounds 1t is beautiful idea and
highly endorsed by those in authorlt!

of carrier pigeons over the Enghsf
Channel, many of them doubtless en-
Gagged in races which pigeon societle:
conduct between England and othel
parts of Europe. On American ship:
