humming birds sip the honey from
flowers I was gathering in the gar
den. Small as they are these little
birds seem fearless. I am sure many
of you have had similar experiences.
The fashion mentioned is for birds
embroidered in heavy woods or in
raffia on the Partisan parasols. If
you prefer to do the embroidery your
self. especially If 1t Is not easy to find
the parasol Of this sort, where you
are. you can do it without much
trouble. You can buy transfer. de-
sign of bird motifs and stamp them
on any plain silk.covered parasOl.
Follow the directions for embroider-
ing that come with the pattern. AS
the work will be done when the sun
shade is open the silk will be stretched
as if in an embroidery frame.
Adapting Designs.
Another method that is excellent
for the embroidery, is to pick out
some handsome bird design In a print
ed linen, a cretonne or wallpaper and
use this as the design. There are
many handsome bird fabrics and
equally beautiful bird papers. In
these the colors will be indicated and
the tones should be copied in the wool
your memory in getting the embroid.
cry mediums, but take the fabric or
paper bird to the store and match the
colors as closely as possible.
Cloth birds can be cut out and
basted in pictorial positions on the
parasol and the embroidery be done
over the appliaued design. Or the
birds can be placed in position with
transfer paper beneath and the de-
sign be transferred and the work
done directly on the sunShade.
Birds In Outline.
If YOU prefer less work, the bird de-
sign can be transferred to the paraSOl
as described and the outlines only be
done in woods or raffia. If the outline
work is heavy and the lines marking
wings, tail head, beak, etc, are plain
ly worked. this form of embroidery is
effective. though, of course. the re-
suits cannot be as handsome as the
solid embroidery work.
Raffia Network Covers.
Another fancy i'm these French par
asols is to have q network of raff1a
completely cover the silk of the par
asol It is caught all around the
edges and down the spokes. The
color may be black or natural toned
raffia, or be shaded in exquisite tones.
The network radiateS from the tip of
the parasol over which the center of
the work is fastened and is then
stretched to the tips of the spokes
before being fastened to the edges and
spokes as mentioned.

Health Experts Urge
Swatting of Flies

Atlanta, Ga.-Swat the fly. Keep
on swatting. This is the advice of
the health experts.
The progeny of a single fly and
her descendants if left undisturbed in
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness for a few months and then
placed head to tail in straight line,
would, it is asserted, be found to
reach one forgets how many times
from here to the sun and back again.
Flies are notorious carriers of filth
and disease, they are darned nui-
sance at the best and unless a man
keeps tame spider health experts
here, according to their own state
ments, do not see any possible use to
which flies can be put.
All living creatures are supposed
somehow to fit into the general
scheme of things and each has its ap-
propriate function to perform. But
apparently this does not apply to
flies. So swat 'em, the health folks
say.

Atlanta, Ga.-There isn't a proud
err hen in town than Dolly, nor one

Center street, to whom she presented
an egg estimated by number of ex-
pert poultrymen to be one of the
largest ever laid in Atlanta.

niquer," according to Mr.. Brooks,

Cotton Flea Routed
By Using Sulphur

Atlanta, Ga. busting cotton
plants with sulphur is the best con-
troll measure found so far to rout the
hopper or cotton flea which has been
found in Georgia and other states of
the cotton belt, according to officials
of the Georgia Department of Agri-
culture.
The officials state that there are
two grades of sulphur that have been
tried with good results, namely super
fine sulphur and flowers of sulphur.
At present, it was stated, superfine
sulphur seems to be equally as effec-
tive, if not more so, than the flowers
of sulphur, and due to the lower cost
of the superfine is recommended for
hopper control.
The ordinary types of busting ma
chinery used for the distribution of
calcium arsenate for weevil control
can be utilized for distributing sui
phur, the officials said. When hop
per damage is sufficient to warrant
control measures, the officials pointed
out that three or more applications of
superfine sulphur should be made at
about five day intervals, or continued
until the damage is no longer noticed.
From eight to ten pounds of sui
phur should be applied per acre at
each application, the officials advised.
Sulphur, they said, should be applied,
in, order to secure the best results,
when the al ris calm and dew is; pres
ent on the plants, as in the early
or in the late afternoon.

ARNOLD TELLS BAR
/, OF LAWS PROGRESS
ATLANTA LAWYER ADDRESSES
ALAVtSaA BAR ASSOCIATION
AT ITS ANNUAL SESSION
HELD IN BIRMINGHAM.

N Atlanta, Ga.-Reuben R. Arnold,
prominent and widely known Atlanta
lawyer. delivered the annual address
before the Alabama Bar Association,
held at Birmingham, Ala, taking as
his subject Progress of Law and
Lawyers. His address, in which he
showed especially how the law had
advanced in the last century, was re-
viewed with great interest, and many
newspapers are now commenting on
his utterances in the highest terms of
praise.
Calling attention to the many new
fields of legislation now being in
vaded by the federal government, Mr..
Arnold declared that the greater part
of the governmental power would al
ways be exercised by the states, and
that Democratic theories of govern
ment' upheld this principle as funda-
mental.
when we think of the fact that
congress even undertook to regulate
child labor by statute, we see the
extent to which local self government
might be nullified: Wisely, the SUI
preme court held the effort uncon-
stitutional, and that under the guise
OF taxation it could not be done.
Thereupon, the proponents of nation
al child labor legislation sought an
amendment to the constitution. Con-
gress thought from the noise made
that there was a public demand for
it, and promptly voted the amend
ment, but the people were thinking.
The danger of turning over too much
power to the federal government was
beginning to be realized and almost
with one voice the states repudiated
this attempt"
Mr.. Arnold said he hoped the state
will neevr lay its hands upon the
citizens right to absolute freedom in
educational matters. He said fur
Their that the "fanatical impulse to
lay the hands of religion upon gov
eminent still persists, and it Is one
Of the lawyers highest duties to COM
bat it." -.
"The sound thought of this coun-
try, in the churches as well as out of
the churches, must agree that re-
ligious freedom and entire separation
Of church and state, both in letter
and spirit, are necessary to the COM
plete development of our civiliza-
tion," declared Mr.. Aronld.
Tribute to the South
Concluding his address Mr.. Arnold
paid the following tribute to the
South:
"A favored region is this southern
country of ours. Humanity can find
here it's fullest development. AL
homogeneous population, climate
and soil unsurpassed, wealth of mine,
forest and field beyond the dreams
of imagination, tradition and history
which fill US with pride. We are the
most favored section of the most IA
vored nation on earth, and 1 believe
we may safely predict for our chill
dren and our children's children
with as much confidence as can be
y
said of anything human-a long pc
Rod of peace and plenty and the
worlds highest civilization.
