WHO PAYS?

providing funds for the purchase OF
the silver service on the now defunct
battleship Georgia is historic. 1t
seems now that the recently installed
electric chair is not to be paid for
very soon, as no provision was made
for its payment. Just why special
appropriation would be necessary is
puzzling to a novice. Is there no gen
eral fund then to meet unprecedented
bills, or cannot Georgia trust her
custodians with margin OF cash ap-
preparations with which to meet en-
ergcncies? 1t is easy to forecast such
occurrences between biennial sessions.
POET LAUREATE FOR
| GEORGIA
Signal achievement deserves signal
| honor so that the bestoWal OF a new
and honorary title OF Poet Laureate
Of Georgia upon Frank L. Stanton by
Governor Walker is one that is re-
ceiving popular approval. Georgia has
had several gifted sons who have
brought to her REFLECTED honor thru
out the entire world Not the least
of these is Stanton whose verses es-
pecialy in song have had such heart
appeal. Kind words and acts for the
living is sweeter tribute than flowers
ior the dead land SO it was happy
inspiration that at the birthday OF our
beloved poet should be made memoir
able by this mark of appreciation in
which Governor Walker knew the
whole state would gladly concur.

We'll there could still be court held
in New York City as was done last
week when SIX women were brought
10 trial before women judges with

court attendants all women. This will

ton.
ROMANCE IN HISTORY
How the old time novels used to
reek OF yelled women on mysterious
errands When wells went out Of style
tastes changed too, and modern novels
do not venture such an anachronism.
Notwithstanding, a touch OF romance
/ is added to an already romantic car
Ger, by the supOsition that two yelled
ladies alighting from an airplane on
d Hungarian estate might be former
Empress Zita, eXiled, and compan-
ion on a mission of preparing for the
ascension OF her son Otto to the Hun
| garian throne Her entire history OF
royalty and power and then of exile,
poverty and bereavement is thrilling
story.
TRUTH AND FICTION
The smaller sea craft which have
no radio equipment to communicate
their danger to the world must still
message in a bottle as their last fare
/ Well SuCh message written III pen
Gil on sheet of note book and pla-
ced in a bottle was washed upon the
coast OF France last week. 1t had been
written on December 10Th by the
master oft he French vessel Jeanne
Dare which was sinking at the time.
A HEART STORY.
As appealing as any story in fiction
is The recent revelation OF the self
denying sister in the background who
pushed Rosa Ponselle forward to her
career in grand opera. Many Of us
had heard OF Carmela Ponsella who
was in vaudeville, but thought it was
due to the superior talent of the young
er Rosa that their fields were differ
ent. 1t now develops that Carmela too
