4 FIRS! OF YEAR
County Unit System Goes Into
Effect Thursday—Counties
To Use Patrol.
Atlanta, Dec. 30.—Beginning
Thursday of this week, the first
day of the new year—the
state highway department’s pro
gram of maintenance goes on the
county unit system, which will
bring that branch of the work
from about 70 per cent efficiency
to 100 per cent efficiency.
Each county will be made a
patrol unit, increasing somewhat
the number of road patrolmen in
the state, but at the same time
working out the maintenance of
roads on the basis of county by
county instead of a certain num
ber of miles extending into two or
more counties.
In connection with the county
unit plan, it is also probable that
in a number of counties an ar
rangement will be made between
the department and the county
board whereby the actual, physical
maintenance work will be done by
the county itself on the basis of
the pro rata allotment to the
county being put up by the state
department.
To Enforce Tag Law.
That plan, it is understood, is
preferable in some of the larger
counties, and is now being worked
in a few of them: Fulton, Clarke
and Muscogee being cited as ex
am pies.
Another development which will
follow inauguration of the county
unit plan of maintenance, with a
patrolman assigned to each coun
ty, Is the arrangement which has
been made by which the highway
patrolman in each county is to be
made a special investigator for
the automobile tag department.
It has been figured that a min
imum of half a million dollars a
year is being lost by the state
through non-observance of the tag
law, and for years it has been a
probleitr how best a better en
forcement of the automobile tag
law could be brought about.
At a recant meeting of the high
way board a resolution was adopt
ed directing a conference between
the chairman, the chief engineer
and the secretary of state, to de
vise some method, and at that
meeting it was suggested that the
county patrolmen in each county
be made a special deputy to
check up on the automobiles in his
particular county.
Ne,w Method Planned.
That, in all cases where he
should find an automobile without
the proper current tag, the fcame
of the owner of the car, its make
and horse power and the place
of residence be reported by him to
the secretary of state. In thi^
latter office the information would
be checked fromthe records and
direction then be issued by the
secretary of state to the revenue
commissioner, accompanied by the
exact information, to proceed to
collect the unpaid tag tax and,
where necessary, to bring prose
cution.
The highway patrolmen will not
Tie constituted prosecuting offi
cers, in any sense, nor will they
act in bringing prosecutions, but
only in checking the observance
of the law against the automobile
owners, and supplying accurate
data to the authorities at the
state capitol. That plan has been
adopted, and will be put into ef
fect the first of January. It is
confidently believed by the author
ities that it will go a long way
toward collecting that which has
been lost heretofore.« y

Gen. Sterling Price of Missouri
was one of the best fighters In the
Confederate army, but lie was a
scholar In inverse ratio. Complex
tactical movements in practice did
not stagger him, but tradition has It
that the simplest problem on paper
was beyond his power.
During the early days of the Civil
war he visited General Beauregard,
who was a graduate of West Point,
an ____ expert mathematician, . a civil . „ en
glneer and an authority on military
tactics and strategy. •
At Corinth, Miss., Beauregard had
opportunity to put his theory into
practice, and had placed about the
city what he termed “a series of im
pregnable fortifications.” He took
General Price in his carriage to
view these fortifications, carefully
explaining their merits. Then he
asked Price what he thought of the
system.
Price straightened himself up and
said thoughtfully: "Well, haln’t

Put Her Foot in It
I went to a small town to teach
school, and found that every one
seemed to be related to every one
else. That cut me off from all
chance for friendly gossip, for one
could never tell when she would be
gossiping In front of some adoring
aunt or cousin.
I wns explaining this, laughingly,
to a girl in the town who had been
nice to me.
She remarked, “Yes, that Is so,
but I am one exception—we have
no relatives here outside our Im
mediate family—you may gossip to
me about anyone. ■ ■
"Well, the people I want most to
gossip about are some newlyweds—
don't know their name, but She calls
him ‘darling Donnie dear,’ and they
are too silly to be around sane peo
ple.’’
“Oh,” replied my friend. “I had
forgotten about my brother Don and
his wife—they’ve been married
about a month, but we don’t think
they are sillier tlinn anybody else.”

Multiplication Feat
The following method is generally
used In the multiplication of Roman
numerals: It is necessary- to re
member that half of C is L, half of
L Is XXV, half of VI is III and half
of V Is II and I remainder. Write
the numbers to l>e multiplied side
by side. Double the first one and
take half of the second, putting
down an O if thsre is no remainder
and an I if the remainder is one.
The two numbers thus obtained are
set down under the original n urn
bers, and the process is repented
until the second column ends in I.
Then cross out the lines thut end In
O and the snm of what remains in
the first column will be the product.
Postal Service Growth
The United States poslal service
really began In 1639 when an office
was set up in Boston tavern to re
ceive letters from Europe. The
growth has been steady ever since.
High lights In Its course were the
appointment of Benjamin Franklin
as first postmaster general In 1775,
adoption of gummed stumps In 1874,
free city delivery Is 1803, railway
post office service In 1864, rural

Grapes Valuable Food
Eat grapes nnrl fight anemia.
Grapes are particularly valuable In
the health diet because of the Iron
they contain, which helps to build
up tfoe red corpuscles of the blood.
There Is no need of a medical mo
tive to persuade us to eat this de
licious fruit, hut to know that while
we are eating grapes we are build
ing up our circulation is Surely not
displeasing.
In addition to the Iron the grape
contains other highly valuable min
erals, which it carries Into grape
Juice and other preparations to
which this abundant fruit so readily
lends Itself.

Boston, Dec. 30.—Future man
will lose many, if not all his teeth;
he will be absolutely hairless, and
he undoubtedly will lose certain
of his toes and fingers.
Those are the predictions, based
on scientific study, by Percy E.
Raymond, professor of paleontol
ogy and geology, Harvard Univer
sity.
«< The future man is as certain
to lose his teeth as the ape man
of the past lost his tail, as
serts Prof. Raymond, The rea
son for the change lies in the
difference of degree of use to
which the teeth are put. The ape
man used lys teeth to tear sinews,
break nuts and as weapons of
offense in fighting. Civilization
has done away with these condi
tions, and accordingly teeth have
lost their vital importance in the
daily life of man.
Hair for Cold.
u Hair is a defense given by
us
nature against cold. Civilization
gave / men coats and artificial cov
F in K- In consequence, nature,
governed by its great law of con
servation of energy, no longer
endowed man with a coat of hair
for the body. Baldness is ever
on the increase, where it probably
never existed on the ancient man.
U That man will lose certain of
his fingers and toes seems to be
a biological certainty. When man
climbed trees to escape from ani
mals, his toes were needed to give
him footholds. Now the function
of these extremities have deteri
orated, until they are quite use
less. >1

Primitive Customs in
Cornish Fishing Town
A place where grown men play
marbles with the zest ot schoolboy*
and where cats catch live Bah
among the rock pools when the tide
Is out. Such a place does exist, and
In the quaint old fishing town of St.
Ives, In faraway Cornwall, these
things may be seen.
In the cool of the evening, along
the broad road bordering the shel
tered harbor, numerous groups of
hardy fishermen, with sea and sun
tanned complexions, pluy marbles
for hours at a time, surrounded by
many interested onlookers, remarks
London Tit-Bits.
Grizzled old mariners, many of
whom preserve the old Cornish cus
tom of wearing small gold earrings,
pace the quayside In parties of
three and four, following the “walk
four steps and turn,” which is all
they are able to do on the clear
space on the decks Of their luggers,
There Is a legend about the cats
of St. Ives, but there was surely
never another fishing town with so
many cats. Each morning, when the
night’s catches of mackerel, dog
fish and skate are brought ashore,
the fish are cleaned on tables
placed near the water’s edge and
scores of cats have a glorious feed
on the offal.
Failures Caused by
Lack of Initiative
One of the greatest Improvements
of the automobile Is the self-start
er, now found on all but the cheap
est kinds of ears, which need to be
cranked by hand.
The device suggests the reflection
that a very large proportion of the
human family require something
of like nature.
They lack Initiative, voluntary ef
fort ; they need cranking in the
form of orders or directions before
doing anything worth while.
The men and women who succeed
best in life and get the most out of
it are of the self-starter type. They
don’t wait to be told or advtsed
what to undertake, but proceed of
their own :eord to do things.
The great inventors, such as Edi
son. are all of this sort, says the
Sacramehto Bee. They are origi
nators, not mere followers or imita
tors, and they rank among the chief
benefactors of the world.
So it is in business, literature,
art, th< arlous Industries, and. In
fact, a occupations. Success In
each is dependent chiefly upon
orlginalRy or initiative.
The Unity of Nature
Nature can only be conceived as
existing to a universal and not a
particul r end; to a universe of
ends, and not to one—a work of
ecstasy to be represented by a clr
cular movement, as intention might
be signified by a straight line of
definite length. Each effpet strength
ens every other. There Is no re
volt in nil the kingdoms from the
common weal; no detachment of an
Individual, Hence the catholic
character which makes every leaf
an exponent of the world. When
we behold the landscape lu a poetic
spirit, we do not reckon individuals.
Nature knows neither palm nor
oak, but only vegetable life, which
sprouts Into forests and festoons

and vines.—Emerson.
Unique British Island
Most of Britain’s Islands have
their story, which Is sometimes
unique. The most striking Instance,
perhaps, Is Sunk Island, in the
Humber—a little world that has the
peculiar distinction of being the
youngest bit of Britain.
It Is, in point of nge, a mere bant
ling, having been formed in com
paratively recent times of land car
ried away by the sea from the
northeast coast. This land was
swept down to Spurn head and then
up the Humber, where it lodged and
in time formed an island. The
process is still going on, and ns a
result the island continues to grow,

was In command of n column dur
ing the South African war, Lord
Rawlinson was constantly sending
in demands for heliographs, with
no result. At last when drawing
near Kroonstadt, in what was then
the Orange River colony, he sig
naled again to ask whether his
heliographs had arrived. Official

NEXT YEAR WILL
BE A DRY ONE,
SCIENTISTS SAY
London, Dec. 30—The year 1925
will be the dryest the universe
has experienced this century, an
official of the British Meteorolog
ical Department in explaining a
new discovery which departmental
experts have made and which, it
is declared, enables them to pick
out the wet and dry years to
ft come.
This statement was made after
much study on the part of weather
scientists and as the result of the
discovery that a close connection
exists between rainfall, particu
larly in Great Britain, and the
freuency of solor prominences.
The latter are explained to be
the tongues of fiamlng gas that
dart out from the sun’s surface,
sometimes to a height of 250,000
miles and at a speed of more
than 150 miles an hour.
Experts have spent three years
studying the relation of this phe
nomenon with the fall of rain and
have learned that the interval be
tween the'dates when these giant
fireworks are most active has
grown progressively shorter dur
ing the last half century, while
the periodicity of wet years in
England has shown a correspond
ing change.
This relativity is nothing new.
It was noticed about 1865, and for
the next 25- years, every fifth year
in England was wet, the other
four being dry or normal.
AT ALLIED FIND
Berlin, Dec. 30.—Yielding to the
demands of the liberal newspapers
that the German government in
form its own people of ‘what
really has happened” to give the
Allies an excuse for not evacuate
ing the Cologne area on January
10, the treaty date, Minister of
War Gessler has made public a
statement itemizing what he con
siders the most important discov
eries by the Allied Military Con
trol Mission.
The list deals first with a series
of minor discoveries, and ridicules
the French anxiety over the find
ing of “twenty old saddles, forty
three rusty rifles and fifteen old
machine gun stands minus guns.”
It explains the 25,000 gun barrels
found in the Krupp plant as an
order expressly permitted by the
commission.
Sober Note --
Herr Gessler assumes a soberer
note, however, in discussing the
.. Christmas surprise” on which the
Council of Ambassadors laid such
weight in arriving at its decision
to stay in Cologne. Two days be
fore Christmas control officers
found 40,000 parts for rifles and
machine guns in Berlin. With
those the Reichswehr had nothing
to do, says Herr Gessler,who ex
plains them as material for the
manufacture of hunting rifles and
points to their exposed storage as
proof that they were”"not guiltily
concealed.

Beginning of Empire
in Great Northwest
Large looms the Columbia river
in the history of our country. It
was the key that unlocked the great
Northwest and. added three states
to the Union—the only portion of
thb United States acquired by right
of discovery, possession and settle
ment, says the Nation’s Business.
It was in the mouth of the Colum
bia that Captain Gray of Boston
sailed his ship Columbia in 1791 and
raising the Stars and Stripes, took
possession of the Northwest in the
name of the United States.
Here, where the mighty Columbia
tumbles its waters into the l’a
eifle, Lewis and Clark, first to carry
our flag across the continent,
reached their western destination
in the winter of 1805-06.
Another six years saw the Astor
Htint expedition, traveling by land
and sea, establish at the mouth of
the Columbia the first permanent,
American settlement on the Pacific
coast.
Then followed the outriders of
empife—the missionary, the trap
per, the adventurer.
Came 1843 ! Thrilled by the story
of the paradise beyond the moun
tains and fired by the militant cry
of “54-40 or fight!" of Senator
Thomas Hart Benton, the ox-drawn
covered wagon trains started mov
ing westward on the greatest mi
gration of all history, bringing
within a little more than a decade
200,000 settlers who established
homes, schools and churches,
founded an empire, and saved the
great Northwest for the Union.
Key Is One of Oldest
of Religious Symbols
When you next unlock the door
of your home or office, reflect a
moment upon the ancient and his
toric symbolism of the key. If you
ever have the opportunity to ex
amine the Images of the Egyptian
deities you will notice in the hands
of some of them a cross with a cir
cular handle. It represents the
Ankli, or key of life, one of the
oldest of all religious symbols, de
noting the power to open and close
the doors of heaven. The key had
a magical meaning for the Greeks
and Romans. Their gods were
often given the title of key-bearer,
as, for example, Janus, the god of
gates, who was supposed to unlock
the doors of war and peace. In
early Christian history the symbol
of the key was associated with St.
Peter, with his two keys of gold
and iron. In the Middle ages the
key was used to assist In the Identi
fication of guilty persons. If, for
Instance, a theft had been com
mitted, a key was laid on the open
page of a Bible, when It was sup
posed to move towards the culprit.
Wedding rings-had their origin in
the key presented to the Roman
bride by her husband, as a sign of
her authority in his household.
Proof of Smoked Ham
That the proof of the smoked
ham is in the smell is the conclu
sion reached by the wholesale meat
packers, as a result of years of
experience, according to a story re
cently published. This ham-smell
ing business, moreover, as might be
expected, is of a nature that, to
become an expert at lh requlres
years of training. A man experi
enced in this line of work, however,
is able to test 2,000 or 3,000 hams
a day, and in some of the large
houses, where many thousands are
turned out daily, there may be a
corps of them employed.
Upon the infallibility of the judg
ment of these men, indeed, the rep
utation of such concerns largely de
pends. Certainly there are more
ways of making a living than the
average individual realizes.—Chris
tian Science Monitor.
The South Sea Bubble
Speculation at its wildest was
shown in the “South Sea Bubble,”
a $50,000,(X)0 project launched by
Robert Hartley, earl of Oxford,
England, to develop trade monopoly
with Spain about 1711. . When
Spain, after the treaty of Utrecht,
refused to open her commerce to
England, the privileges which the
South Sea boasted of getting be
came worthless. In spite of that
stock rose to $1,000 a share, large
ly through speculation, until Sir
John Blunt, one of the leaders, sold
out, and thousands were beggared
with the drop of the stock. Fraud
was disclosed and the company paid
only 33 per cent.
Origin of Name “Canada”
According to Father Hennepin,
the name Canada was derived from
a corruption of the Spanish words
Capo de Nadu, or Cape of Nothing,
which the early voyagers gave to
the scene of their discoveries when,
under a conviction of its utter bar
renness and Inutility, they were
about abandoning it in disgust, says
the Detroit News.
It has been conjectured by late
historians, with greater appearance
TTrdWrirahTrTTyrrtTmf Canada Is a
modification of the Spanish word
signifying "a passage” because the
Spaniards thought they could find
a passage to India through Canada.
Colors to Scare Spirits
The Chinese, as most people
know, are extremely superstitious,
and have a great dread of evil
spirits; they take endless trouble.
In all the affairs of life, to circum
vent the demons, says the Detroit
News. The evil spirits, the Chinese
believe, loathe bright colors, espe
cially red, and these lurid decora
tions are supposed to be very po
tent in their protective influences.
With decorated hull in all sorts of
vivid tints and a big eye at the bow
to enable "it to see,” a Chinese Junk

Washington, Dec. 30. — The
world cotton supply this year is
probably the largest in nine years,
totaling approximately 23,300,000
bales of 479 pounds each, esti
mates received by the department
: of agriculture show. The esti
mates are from couhtries which
produce about 97 per cent of the
world crop and which last year
produced 19,300,000 bales, The
five year average for the pre-war
period was 23,580,000 bales.
The American supply, based on
official production figures and
trade estimates of carry over cot
ton, is placed at 16,000,000 bales.
Consumption in the United
States for the four months end
ing November 30, was 1,818,000
running bales of lint cotton, com
pared with 2,054,000 for the same
period in 1923. The decrease,
however, is more than offset, the
department said, by increased ex
ports.

Use Grandma’s Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
Will Know
The use of Sage and Sulphur
for restoring faded, gray hair to
its natural color dates back to
grandmother’s time. She used it
to keep her hair beautifully dark,
glossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded
or streaked appearance, this sim
ple mixture was • applied with,
wonderful results.
But brewing at home is mussy
and out-of-date. Nowadays, by
asking at any drug store for a
bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sul
phur Compound,’* you will get
this famous old preparation, im
proved by the addition of other in
gredients, which can be depended
upon to restore natural color and
beauty of the hair.
Well-known druggists say it
darkens the hair so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen
a sponge or soft cloth with it and
draw this through your hair, tak
ing one small strand at a time.
By morning the gray hair disap
pears, and after another applica
tion or two, it becomes beautiful
ly dark and glossy.—Adv.
