AMERICAN SLANG PUZZLES JEROME, BUT. HE'LL LEARN SHOE DEPARTMENT THE ELEPHANT—Don't worry; I'll take care of Roosevelt. English Humorist Says Art Is Eliminating Nation T ' Lindt' Jerome K. Jerome, author, humorist end playwright, think, the lime I* drawing near when .national llnee will be eliminated with artists of the stage. He talked about It Fridny morning at the Piedmont while waiting for Wll. 11am A. Brady to arrive. Hie vlewa on the subject were brought forth by a question as to Ills opinion on the invasion of England by American actors, actresses and plays. “That Is nothing more thun a return of compliments," he said. "You have an Invasion here of English actors anil actresses now and again and wo have «he same. But the nationality lines are being eliminated. Nobody now claims Bernhardt Is a French actress. She Is as much America's, England's or Oer- inany'e. The world Is getting that way. A few centuries ago Europe was full of small countries. Now there are only a few.” He eald It was growing to be with art like It la In business, commerce and trade, and that few |>oople marked dif ferences between things Canadian. Mexican or of the United States. Mr. Jerome Is still wondering why New York continues to go wild over "Buster Brown." Tired of “Butter Brown." -“I should think they would gel tired of him,” he eald. "1 ant sura lie has been going around ten years and that is enough to make one tired.” He went to see "Peter Pan" again Thursday night and he was charmed with Miss Adams and the play. "I liked it even better than when I saw It In England." he said. "And 1 tell you the tears came to my eyes when Tinker Bell was about to die." Uncle Remue came In for Mr. Je rome's praises and lie declared Joel Chandler Harris and tils tales were very popular In England. Tile English author wus compli mentary nbout everything except American slang. Reporters use slang when they don't know they are doing It sometimes. At least some reporters do and one for The Georgian union- sclouely did so Friday. It was some thing about being beaten a block. "How?” asked Mr. Jerome. "Come again and explain. I'm afraid 1 don't understand." He got the explanation and then de clared he couldn't, keep up with Amer ican slang. “I thought 1 bail learned all the slang.” he said, "when I was here be fore, but I find you are always gelling up something new. Now I will have to begin learning again." “WHEN YOU CUT DOWN A TREE PLANT ONE TO TAKE ITS PLACE,” SAYS GREAT FORESTRY EXPERT Enos MillsSounds Note : . of Warning to Geor gia Folk.

Mill*, government expert in the forestry serv ice of the United Stutes department of agriculture. Mr. Mills, who Journeyed from Colo rado to talk before the Federation on Our Forests and How to Save Them.” is the greatest forestry expert In Amer ica. For live years he lias been from tlnj* *« time employed by the govern ment to experiment In and report on forestry, and has probably done more than arty living expert to arouse popu lar Interest In I ho subject. His lectures have been attended by thousands at the*Jaiiiestown Imposition, and his na ture book, which will be published some time next year, will doubtless be received with Interest throughout America. Lived in the Forests. "Though I atn called professor and doctor, and sometimes even reverend," explains Just Mr. Mills, "I have never received any training In a school of forestry. For sixteen years I have studied and worked In the open, jiving In the forests of the West, and of course traveling over the country to study conditions In all sections.” In discussing the subject In Its rela tion to the South. Mr. Mills said that unless the people of our section awake to the Importance of saving our forests we shall In less than twenty years ex perience u forest famine. • I do not. of course, say that trees must not be cut down; that would be absurd. But unless others are planted In their stead, unless some organised effort Is made to preserve forests in the South, the result will be fatal to agri culture and Industry If! this part of the country." Just Practical Facts. Reminded that few of us are ac quainted even with the fundamental scientific facts by which forestry Is re lated to climatic, agricultural. Indus trial and even racial conditions, Mr. Mills answered; "That Is the sort of knowledge which I am trying so hard to disseminate, just practical facts, which will be under stood by and will make their appeal to every man. woman and child. "1. Kveryone should know that for- j e«t* heat and coql slowly, and so pro tect a section against radical changes of heat and cold Injurious to agricul tural interests. In Germany, where waste and forest lands, in order to encourage the planting of trees by the land owner." The recent heated discussion between the distinguished naturalist. President Roosevelt, and Dr. \V. J. Long has oc cupied much space In magazines, and has been the target for no little clever newspaper fun. Mr. Mills, whose opin ion Is regarded as authoritative, was asked to express himself in regard to , the controversy. Roosevelt Partly Wrong. *T can easily afford to do so," he replied-, "inasmuch as my position Is almost neutral. I do not consider Roosevelt wholly In the right, by any means. Am for Dr. Long, he Is one of the. most fascinating writers I know on natural' history*’ ami at the same time commits certain Inaceuraclek • which must Inevitably ^provoke an attack sooner or later. 4 ( In coKnection with Mr. Mills* visit to south Georgia, the story of a forestry movement now- being organized In Ware county Is particularly Interesting. John U*. Greer and others, of Way* cross, have organized tho "Country «’lub of Ware County,” the purpose of ' which Is to plant shade trees on both {sides of the public roads and to beau- • tlfy the country homes of that section. | Each member of the club pledges hlm- I self to plant 210 trees, and to replant until all gaps arc filled.

Mr. Mills was asked to suggest some popular means by which Interest In forestry may he aroused. To Arouse Interest.

In a humorous paragraph, was nominated for governor because of the fact that he knew how to plow a steer. The Herald ridiculed the idea In a witty editorial, asserting that Its editor had forgotten more about plowing a steer than the Dalton man ever knew. He was Immediately challenged to a steer-plowing mulch, and what was begun In fun will end this afternoon In a genuine steer-plowing tournament at the Georgla-t'arollna fair. The Herald claimed the privilege of naming the.time and place and agreed to furnish the steer. Both the animal anil the Instrument have been gorgeously decorated. t The editor of The Rome Tribune will referee the match. ROOSEVELT ACTS ON MURDER OP AGENT Washington, Nov. 8.—President Roosevelt has sent the following letter to the attorney general and secretary of the Interior: "My attention has been called to die patches In reference to the murder of Herfct Service Agent Walker while In the performance of duties Investigat ing coal land frauds in Colorado.

New York City, In a statement Issued Friday morning by the railroad commission the rail roads of the state are warned that un seemly delays on local shipments must pease. The commission stated that numer ous complaints had come to them from over the state, particularly on ship ments of bagging and ties. The state ment Is as follows: "Nearly every railroad subject to the jurisdiction of the railroad commission being represented, we wish to call at tention to some complaints that are oming Into the commission office daily. These relate almost wholly to delays in the shipments of goods, and particular ly In the shipment of bagging and ties. In one of these complaints, which Is typical of all the others, the writer says: " 'When we are without bagging, our gins are stopped, the labor employed at the gifts is idle and on expense. In ad dition to this Inconvenience, the farm ers who rely on us to do their ginning suffer great loss by their cotton not be ing ginned. This loss does not only fall on the glnners, but falls heavily upon towns and points where these gins are located, where the glnners ure unable to secure bagging and ties. If the farm er can not get his cotton ginned at one place he will haul his seed cotton to other points to have It ginned. You will at once see what hardships and loss we Buffer by the careless handling of these articles while in transit.* "The writer of this letter had a ship ment of bagging and ties out from Sa vannah to an Interior point In Georgia which was thirty-two days In transit. The rules of this commission are just, fair and reasonable, and Impose a charge for delays of this kind in the nature of a penalty. These rules must bu obeyed, aim If the iumuiSialuD Can not have them obeyed In one way. It will endeavor to And another way which will bring about their observ ance. "If they are unreasonable the commis sion will repeal them, and while no formal order Is necessary at thU time, the railroads are requested to take fair notice that these intolerable delays In short movements are being and will be fully Investigated and full justice done to all parties ijt Interest. • Shipments from Liverpool * to and YOUTH IS KILLED, MANY INJURED IN RIG CHICAGO FIRE Brave Rescues Saved Many From Death in Flames.
