SENATOR SEEKING BOYS

Atlanta, Ga.-There are some boys
in Georgia whose fathers were killed
in the World War, who are entitled
to an education at either West Point
or Annapolis at the expense of the
government, but they perhaps are
unaware of it, according to United
States Senator w. J. Harris, of Geor-
gia.
The Georgia senator introduced a
bill in congress which became a law
at the last session which provides
that the government would educate
eighty boys who were made orphans
by the war provided their fathers
were killed in battle or died as the
result of wounds or illness.
Senator Harris said he is anxious
to secure the names of such boys in
Georgia entitled to the opportunity.
