Horrors! The second period of ex-
aminations has begun at Dawson high,
and many were the heartaches the past
week. The proverbial midnight oil
likewise came in for much burning
during that period.
In view OF the numerous DEMENT'S
derived from close cooperation on the
part of the school and the public a
Parent Teacher Association was or
ganized Thursday afternoon. A COM
petitive scheme was used for the pur-
pose OF having a large crowd OF par

grade having present the most repre-

excused from the last class of the day,

were efforts to have a big crowd pres

for first place and were accordingly
dismissed before the other classes.

Soy Beans Grow in
Popularity in Georgia
Take Place of Cow Peas, Which No
Longer Is Profitable Crop.

Soy beans have increased in popu-
larity very rapidly during the last few
years and the indications are that they
will continue to do so. A large part Of
this growth is due to the ravages OF
the bean beetle on COW peas and farm
ers have resorted to the soys to take
their place, while another reason is
the realization OF their value as soil
builders and hay crops.
Otootan and Laredo are the two
leading varieties Of soy beans i'll Geor-
gia. Both make good yields OF hay
and beans, but their yielding qualities
depend to a large extent on the date
OF planting, and in this respect they
differ widely.
Paul Tabor, professor OF agronomy
at the State College of Agriculture
and in charge Of experiments with soy
beans. has found that the Otootan is
late, blooming in late August or Sep
TENDER regardless OF the date OF plant
ing. and maturing in early November.
The Laredo blooms fully month
earlier and natures five to six weeks
sooner. Planted in April it was found
that the Laredo will make as much or
slightly more hay than the Otootan'
but when planted later the Otootan
will lead by a good margin. Because
OF this ability to keep growing late IN
the summer it is better suited to plant
ing with corn.
For seed production the Laredo is
more certain than the Otootan. Otoo-
tans planted in April have yielded
about half as much seed as Laredos.
The May and June paintings OF Otoo-
tans have done better, but still the
seed Weld is distinctly below that OF
Laredo on the average.
Both varieties OF soy beans do best
when planted in rows and cultivated.

PUNISHMENT is
SWIFTER AND SURER.

The punishment is not only swifter
but surer, in both England and
France. The number OF convictions to
the number of accusations | have al
ready pointed out; and it is out OF all
proportion to that obtaining in the
United States.
There is no grand jury in France,
and this institution has become a
mere formality in England. Indeed,
there is a bill pending in parliament,
very popularity supported, to abolish
the grand jury entirely. In the latter
country the so-called indictments are
prepared by the clerks OF the court,
the chief work having already been
done by the committing magistrate IN
his thorough investigation OF the case ;
and one of the clerks at the Old Bal
lev in London, who has been there
forty years, stated to us that in all his
experience there were but SIX instan-
ces in which grand jury had failed
to return an indictment prepared by
him.

VIVID RECOLLECTION
OF BRITISH TRIAL.

retain a vivid picture OF the young
man, Roland Duck, as he stood III the
prisoners dock at the Old Barley,
high above the heads OF his counsel
and solicitor, and only communicating
with them through court attendants.
The indictment had been returned the
day before The crime, the murder OF
young woman, had occurred but
three weeks before, and but Tor the
intervention OF the Whitsuntide holt
DAYS the trial would have taken place
even earlier. Mr.. Justice Swift pre-
sided, as qntly named as il in novel
OF the seventeenth century. The jury
was accepted as the names were call
ed. No examination whatever was
made as to their knowledge, qualil-
cations, or fitness to try the case. For
aught we knew they might have been
twelve relatives of the accused. Sub
sequently we learned, however, that
the entire panel had been previously
submitted to counsel on both sides
and, to some extent, at least eXamin-
ed. One woman was called on the
Jury and she was peremptorily Chal-
lenged and excused without question,
the judge significantly remarking to
us that this challenge was the only
one which had occurred in his court
in three years Twelve witnesses were
examined with extraordinary rapidly.
The whole trial, including the sum
ming up OF counsel on both sides, the
charge of the jury with verdict OF
guilty" Occupied about six hours, and
an hour and hall of this was con-
sumed by adjournments for lunch and
tea. After the verdict ten days are al
lowed for perfecting an appeal. The
court of criminal appeals affirmed the
judgment from the bench at the con-
clusion OF the oral argument, and Ro-
land Duck was executed at PentOn-
vile prison. The whole tragic story
took less than eight weeks to enact.
Even this short time would have been
further shortened except for the law
OF England which requires that three
clear Sundays" shall intervene be-
tween the final proceedings i'll a CAPT
tai case ami the execution OF the de-
PENDANT found guilty. The only hope
we saw oil prolonging the life Of cap
tal offender in England would be such
an Interpretation OF the phrase clear
Sundays" as would constitute not
what the statute means, to wit, sue
cessive" Sundays, but clear in the
sense of free from rain or clouds, and
any one who is familiar with the
weather in England knows that this
construction would be equivalent TO
the adjustment OF capital punish
ment.

MANUSCRIPT, HUNTED FOR
3S7 YEARS, HAS TURNED UP
Book VI on Renaissance Architecture
By Francis rs Retainer.
At Columbia.

Book VI" mysteriously missing
for 387 years from the otherwise COM
plete seven-book manual OF architect
ure prepared by Sebastiano Serlio, an
Italian, architect to Francis |, who
brought the renaissance to France,
now reposes in the Avery Architect
ural Library at Columbia University.
Prof. William B. Dinsmoor, libra
rian, says that the manuscript never
had been published since Serlio com
pleted it in the sixteenth century. 1t
gives the principles OF domestic arch
itecture, the field in which the French
renaissance first found expression, he
said, and modern judgment of the
renaissance in France accordingly
must be revised.
The manuscript embraces designs
for every type of dwelling, from the
meanest hovel to the palace OF the
king" DR.. Dinsmoor said. How it
was lost is still a mystery 1t is being
prepared for publication.

ARLINGTON SEWER
PROJECT DELAYED
Doubt AS to Legal Authority
to Give Right of Way Is
Expressed by War Dept.

Another hitch has occurred in the
execution of the project for the eXten-
sion of the sewer system of Arlington
County through the Fort Myer mill
tary reservation to the Potomac
> River. War Department officials con-
ceded the desirability of the proposed
extension, but doubted their legal
authority to give right of way
through the reservation even to the
extent of a revokable license. The
Arlington County authorities argued
Nhat prompt action is necessary for
the protection of the health of the
rapidly growing section and asked
that they be given temporary right
of way through the reservation until
Congress meets, when the desired
legislative authority may be enacted.
The Attorney General of the United
States, 10 whom the questions in
volved were submitted, has just rem
dered an opinion in which he agrees
generally with an opinion given by
the judge advocate general of the
Army-that the Secretary of War
cannot grant the desired right of way,
temporarily or otherwise, without Spe
citic authority from Congress. 1t is
the view of both officials, it is said,
that the proposed sewer extension in
tfhe reservation should be viewed as
permanent structure, inaSmuCh as it
could not be removed or closed with
out endangering the health and vel
fare of the communities benefited by
its existence
1t is understood that Senator
Swanson and other members of the
Virginia delegation will make strong
effort to obtain favorable legislation
from Congress at it's next session.
