HOLDER GIVES
TESTIMONY IN
HIGHWAY PROBE
Gives His Version Of Charges
Brought Against Him By An
derson and Others

ATLANTA, August 12.-John N.
Holder, chairman of the State High
way Board, who won reinstatement
in that post by appeal to the Su-
prcme court after Governor Walker
had revoked his commission, answer
cd attacks upon his administration
before the senate committee in
vesti9ating the board Tuesday aft
crnoon.
One Of the points on which Mr..
Holder had been attacked was that
he had charged to official expenses
his subsistence while in Atlanta. He
said he was constantly in travel
and was in Atlanta only a relative
~ small part Of the time, and that
he deemed his transient expenses
while here to be a just charge, to
support which he had an opinion
of the attorney general.
1.-THE Georgia Highway Depart
ment is a gigantic corporation"
Mr.. Holder said, "and the item of
expense of single individual in its
service is negligible"
Mr.. Holder also answered the
charge that he had obtained an OK
pcnsivc automobile. He said this
had been authorized by the commits
sion, and because of his constant
travel was necessity. 1t replaced,
he said, a small automobile which
was inadequate for the service re-
quired

BIG SHORTAGE
HOGS IN south

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12-Al-
though the South is not unfavorab-
ly situated for hog production, there
has been heavy decrease in the
number of hogs on farms in that
section in recent years.
Ten cotton states which in 1920
were estimated to have on farms
l3,570,000 hogs had only 9,077,OOO
in 1925. Five states, Alabama Ar
Kansas, Florida, Georgia and Lousi-
ana-had 100000 fewer hogs on
January /, 1925 than on January
l. 1922.
In other parts of the country, es-
pecially in the Corn Belt, hog pro-
duction expanded greatly after
1921, reaching the highest point on
record in 1928, and declining some
what in 1924. The decline in the
South has been much greater than
is desirable in the interests of the
region, says the United States De
partment of Agriculture.

Unusual Potato Recipes
By HANNAH WING

In every household there is a never
ending search for new ways of dress
ing up the everyday potato. For
those who have only a limited time
and can't go into the somewhat labor
ious details of the stuffed potato, we
suggest grilled potatoes.
To grill potatoes is a simple trick
and this is how It is done. Slice
cooked potatoes lengthwise, brush with
melted butter, sprinkle with salt and
pepper and broil under a flame.
Another potato dish that is less
trouble than either French or German
fried is the Chambery potato. For
this wash, pare and slice the potatoes
thinly. Let them stand onc-half hour
in cold water, then drain and dry be-
tween towels. Grease an iron frying
pan well with butter or other fat and
arrange the slices OF potatoes in lay
ers having the pan three-fourths full.
Season each with salt and pepper and
brush over with melted fat. Put the
pan in the oven and bake at moder-
ate heat 1880 degrees Fahrenheit) un-
til soft and well Drowned.

PROTECTION OF MEN, WOMEN
AND CHILDREN.
This seeming injustice to woman
sprang from sound necessity. Since
it was up to the man to support his
children. it mattered much to him.
and to his tribe, that the child be was
supporting should really be his.
That may seem selfish ruling.
You may think that a man should viii.
lingly support n helpless child, regard.
race has not yet arrived at such an
Utopian attitude. The father wished
to be sure Of his relationship TO the
child before he would guarantee to
support il. And the tribe also wished
TO be sure of that relationship, tat it
might justly force him to support IL.
So it came TO pass that both nan and
society demanded chastity OF tho TOM
an, and visited heavier punishment on
her than on the man when she violated
that law. Unfair as that seems, it
served the woman and the child as we'll
as the man.
Yet you think that some day this
taboo will be abolished and we will
have but one code for both men and
WOlutu. ulSdsEtc Win .Ou.
the discrimination between between
the sexes goes deeper than our social
necessity. 1t goes back to the natural
law which governs the brute.
Sex. for the male brute, is passing
incident. But for the female brute it
implies whole cycle of service-mat-
ing. CESSATION and the care Of the
young after birth. Sex is a much
more serious proposition to her than
to the male. 1t involves more OF her
own life-it means more to the herd
or the pack.
We are no longer brutes, we have
a spiritual hunger of which the brute
knows nothing. But the old natural
law still holds.
THE MALE IS STILL MORE
FREE THAN THE FEMALE
That's why she must pay more heav--
lily than he when she makes light of
that which is her greatest responsible
ity. You may call that natural in
justice. Or you may call it sacred
conservation. That's up to you. But
in either case, there it is and there's
no ducking it.

"Foxy Grandpa whispered Bobby,
have you noticed how many of the

"Yes," l answered, "look at that
one" For at that moment we passed
a beautiful young Javanese-for we
were on the island of Java-just as
pretty n young girl as you would
want to see. But she had black teeth.
Maybe they don't clean their teeth
and they have decayed." murmured
Bobby. You know you said If l
didn't clean mine night and morning
they would. l guess Ill start clean
ing them after every meal like you do,
too. I'd hate to have teeth like that. -
"They think that is beautiful" l
chuckled.
Beautiful" exclaimed Bobby in
surprise.
"YCs," I explained. "They color
them black on purpose"
"How? Do they have huckleberry
pie here?" asked Bobby very severely.
"They chew betel-nut," l explained.
THAT darkens the teeth as you see

Funny idea, that makes them do
it." 1 chuckled.
what is it. Foxy Grandpa?" asked
the boy.
"This." laughed, these Javanese
ladies think that white teeth look too
much like dogs teeth and for that
reason they color them black and
then feel confident that they look
beautiful"
Bobby just shook his little head and
smiled.
Lets stop in here and have an
ice," i suggested, leading the way
into a little restaurant.
We sat down at small table and
gave our order and while we were
waiting Bobby glanced down on the
floor and there going between my feet
was n pretty little lizard.
Wasn't he a cute little fellow ~

I'D like to have a look at him." ]
