SAYS PARENTAGE
IS DETERMINED
BY BLOOD 181
San Francisco, @al Eeh 18—A
complicated bit of mechanism today
pointed out Paul Vittori as the fathey
of the child he disclaimed.
Legal recognition of the power an¢
possibility of the mechanism depend
upon Superior Court Judge Graham
who was to rule whether on its evi
dence, Vittori should he (fompel]edi
to pay $lBO alimony claimed by his
wife.
The mechanism Was the “oscillo:
phore” invented by Dr. Albert
Abrams, for twelve years professor
of pathology at sanford University.
Abrams claims that through it he can
determine the parentage of a child:
Dr. Abrams determines this 1
through “electronic vibrations” of
!
a child.
A drop of blood from the babe anr]l
one from the father was taken by
Dr. Abrams. The instrument accord
ing to the reports of Dr. Abrams
showed ithat the electronic vibration
which are very mystifying things
to the layman—were - of the Hame‘
rate and synchr(mizml. This, accord
ing to Dr. Abrams, proved Vittori
was the father of the child.
“The question of idenity” said Dr.
Abrams today, is but the grouping of
the electronic vibrations. Attar of
roses through it elecironic \'ihmti(ml
gives an etheral essence while coal
oil aches with its obnoxiousness.
The same he explained applies to
blood. The composition is alike hut
characteristics of the person are
traceable to the vibrations of the
blood. ;
Other questions may be answered
in similar ways. Race, age and dif-

| LIVING COST MOUNT
' IN AUSTRIAN CAPITAL
Washington, Feb. 18.—Living costs
in Vienna today are 155 times highler
than those of 1914, accordinlg to re
ports to natisiral headquarter: fromn
Americas RBed Cross workess in the
Austrian cap-ial. Salavies have 1
creased only wiout 400 par cent, this
representing the average shown hy a
tabulation of a large mmumber of mid
dle-class professional ard zovernmen
tal positions,
Coincident v:ith the onoraous ‘n
crease in the cost of living, the ex
change value of the krone:n has drog
ped from twenty cents o one sINEN 01
a cent. Allowing for th'e increase in
the prices of commodities in America
the kronen will buy cnly 1-250th as
much of an average American commeo
dity as in 1914.
Conditions of extreme distress in
the Austrian capital have reduced the |
population cof the city from 2,220,000
to 1,800,000. The decreaze while due
largely to emigration is to some ex
tent the result of the high mortality |
rate and the dwindling birth rate. ‘
Supplies distributed by the Ameri
can Red Cross in one month recently
were valued at more than 120,000,600
kroneén, according to estimates by
Vienna newspapers, .
The Bureau of Crop KEstimates is
endeavering to weld all public agen
cies concerned in the m'a:-koting and
prciduction of agricultural products
into a co-operating group, for the pur
pose of using the information col
lected to better advantage.

Thomasville, Ga. Feb. I§,—The ac
tion of the County Commissioners
cf Thomas at their recent meeting
this month in deciding to make no
apprepriations for cattle dipping for
1921, is meeting with much .criticism
and protest.
| At the meeting of the Board of
{ Commissioners in January it was de
cided to continue the work and com
plete the matter of tick eradication.
which bheing so nearly done could
have easily been finished during the
!y:’:n- and/ made the county tick free.
At the February meeting of the
board petitions were read from the
Meigs, Ochlocknee and Coolidge dis
tricts of the ceunty calling on ihe
commissioners to abolish the dipping
The matter was reconsidered and
when put to a vote the anti dipping
carried hy one majority.
Strong Against Dipping Methods l
. As all of the district from \\'hi(-hl
;ihoso petitions came were practical-!
Iy tick free it has much surprise in’
the Meigs district which is stron
gest against the dipping it is said
that only one pasture along the
Miichell county line is infected and
popsau _aaeyl 811iea 10 platy, auo Aquo ’
to be dipped. J. H. Bowers, the own
district who would have had to di])’
his eattle, refused to sign the petition =
In the Ochlocknee district m'n.(-ti(':xl-!
ly the same conditions exist, with lit-|
tle dipping needed. |
In the Coolidge district :x:-r'nrding{
to report, the people have rnl\m_\'si
been more or less against the dinping |
but cven there little mere dipping |
was needed to make the district fick'
free.
The number of petitioners wanting
to do away with the dipping do notl
represent one-twentieth of the cnt.rl(\l

[HE HOME NEWSPAPER
AGAIN we wish to remind vou that
The Dispatch can be no better home
paper than the business turnover will
justify. We may work our heads off,
but it takes business and more of it
to improve the home daily paper.
You spend considerable money with
printing establishments on the out
side. You cannot do that without
hurting the volume of business in the
home newspaper plant and when you
do that you hurt your town. You
have no right to exist when you do
not care how much you hurt your
home town.
YOUR HOME NEWSPAPER
Is Your Town’s
Sunday Dress
&7 Your business is weighed on the out
side by the appearance of your home
AB, Dpaper. The home paper must have
\l\9l‘\ #* an income before it can put on many
N of the metropolitan Improvements
AN Its income depends on the business it
gy does.
Georgia has no small city plant better cquipped
than ours. None of them can do your work in bet
ter form or for less money. But the cost of produc
tion n your home printing plant is such a figure as
never to drive you away. If you are not willing to
pay cost of production, then you should go some
where else--and get swindled.
If you do not want the home plant to
do your printing, then your heart 1s
in the wrong place--or maybe ours is.
We would be mighty glad to talk to
you about it, any way. Phone 30
when you have something you want
