How Many Eggs Did Jones Buy?
See if You Can Figure It Out
Providence, R. I., Dec. S8.—The am
bition of the average American to rlae
In life Is the came of the downward
tendency of birth rate In the United
States, according to Professor Kdward
A. Ross, of the University of Wiscon
sin, who defended race suicide In an
address before the annual national edu
catlonal conference being held under
the auspices of Brown University.
Professor Ross said In part:
,, The immediate consequences of a
diminishing birth rate are a rising
plane of comfort among the masses, a
reduction of Infant mortality. and an
Increase In the uverage prospect that
population pressure (hitherto class
conflict) will cease to shape social
destinies.”

PREny YOUNG GIRL
IS SENT IB HOME
just as Jones was leaving his house
in Peachtree street yesterday, his wife
called after him: "Don’t forget to drop
in at the corner and order some eggs
sent up to the house right away. You
Imow, the Smiths are coming over to
dinner this evening, and I’ve really got
t„ hake some cake. Every piece of
cake Imked for Christmas has been
devoured."
All right.” answered Jones, and
■ mindful of his promise he stepped into
the grocery.
•Hello, said Jenks, the grocer.
"Pon t often see you. What can I do
(or vou this morning?”
•How much are your beat eggs?"
asked Jones.
•Well," said Jenks, “two more than
I am now selling for twenty-four cents
would make them two cents per dozen
le«- (ban they now are."
•All right.” said Jones. “Send twen
ty.four cents worth over to the house
yight away. My .wife Is waiting for
them." . .
How many eggs did he buy? After
he reached the office he started to fig.
ure It out. and before he got through
he was nearly crazy. Then he gave
the problem to his bookkeeper, who
also came to grief over It.

Puzzle Editor The Georgian:
In reply to your article In The At

Puzzle Editor The Georgian:
Irclosed on aeparate sheet I send
y.iu solution of puzzle In your Issue of
even date. How many eggs did Jones
buy? Jones bought 16 eggs for 24
cents; that Is. ho paid 18 cents per
dozen for them. If he had received 2
mure for 24 cents, he would have got
ten IS eggs for 24 cents, which would
make eggs 16 cents per dozen.
MISS OLLIE MAE TAYLOR.
33 Stewart avenue.
The Georgian:
I have solved the “egg problem" In site will again have to go out Into the world
this afternoon's Georgian. For the 21 | ,n "id't.
vents left by Mr. Jones, the grocer
should have sent Mrs. Jones 16 eggs.
This would make the eggs cost 18 cents
a dozen. But If eggs had been selling
at 2 cents per dozen less than they
now are. then he should have sent Mrs.
Jones is eggs, as the price would then
be 1« cents per dozen. Youra truly.

Whoever thought ’the great state of
Georgia—the Empire State of the
South—would be too poor to buy post'
age stamps?
Shades of Oglethorpe and the rest of
the old-timers!
Yes, one department of the great
state of Georgia Is practically stalled
because of a lack of postage ntampa
and money to buy them. It doesn't
mean, of course, that this department
will have to wait until the legislature
meets In order to get a few pontage
stamps. But the department will have
to wait until the first of the new year,
for Uncle Sam requires cash for the
stamps he sella.
This department Is the railroad com
mission and at present nnd for the
past ten days Secretary George P*.
Montgomery has had part of his work
at a standstill because he has no stamps.
stamps and because there Is no appro
priation available with which to pur
chase any. , j.
These stamps are necessary to place
upon the big batch of annual reports
of the commission that Secretary
Montgomery has been sending over the
country. He kept them going through
the malls as long as the stamps lasted
and then he had to suspend operations.
This was ten days ago ami the work
will not commence until after the first
of the new year.
It so happens that the appropriation
available for the railroad commission
for this year was exhausted some time
ago and at present there are a few bills
unpaid because of the lack of money.
Another appropriation will be avail
able on January 1, and then these bills
will be paid and Secretary Montgom
ery will be able to buy some postage

“Take this woman away. I don't want
to bear her Ho this way," exclaimed Re
corder Broyles, In police court Friday
morning, ns Florence Nash, a while wom
an. arraigned for drunkenness, begged for
mercy and promised never to drink again.
"Judge Broyles, let ine go home to my
babies and I solemnly promise you I will
not touch A another drop of Intoxicating
liquor. Don’t fine me. Just give me
more chance. I will never drink again,"
pleaded the youug woman.
The’recorder at this point Interrupted
further pleading by Imposing a flue of
76. and Instructing the court officer
to take the woman back Into the prisoner’s
room.

PLY THEIR TRADE
In the garb of women and represent
ing themselves as friendly masquera
ders, two unknown men Christmas
night entered several residences In
Whitehall street, and, while mingling
with the Inmates and puzzling them ns
to their Identity, stole a considerable
lot of Jewelry and other articles.
The police are now searching for the
smooth pair and the missing 'Jewels,
but so far have obtained no trace of
either.
The game worked by the two stran
gers Is one of the smoothest on record
In Atlanta.* By disguising themselves
In female attire and apearlng In the
role of Christmas fun-seekers, they
aroused no suspicion nnd were enabled
to gain easy access to numerous homes.
It-was thought by everyone that thf
;o grotesque characters were merely
friends or neighbors and they were
given a cordial greeting In every place
where they ventured. After the de
parture of the "women.”. however, It
began to develop that Jewels and other
valuables had hlso vanished. This dis
covery was made In several homes.
The assistance of the police was then
sought In an effort to run the two
strangers to earth.
