Milady Carries Vanity

London.—Umbrellas with handles
flat as pancakes have appeared In Lon
don and are considered quite the thing
among fashionably dressed young wo¬
men.
The umbrellas are altogether too un¬
wieldy to he carried by the handle, so
are attached to the arm by means of
a heavy silk cord. But they have
the advantage of doing away with the
vanity cusp, for within the flat handle
the owfcer carries Her powder box, Up

Use Electric Shocks
for Regulating Hearts
One of the most remarkable of re¬
cent medical Inventions Is the static
wave device. *
Its purpose Is to regulate the beat¬
ing of the heart, should it be too fast
or too slow. The patient sits in an
Insulated chair connected with a ma¬
chine which passes an electric current
through the body.
Outside the machine Is a revolving
ball, fixed to the end of a metal rod.
Every time this ball passes another
stationary ball, electricity Is dis¬
charged from the body, causing the
muscles to relax.
If the heart should be beating 74
times h minute, but Is six beats fast,
says the Detroit News, the revolving
ball Is timed to go around at 74 revo
lutlons a minute and the heart Is thus
slowed down to Its correct time. In
the same way, the heart can be
quickened.
This wonderful machine was ex¬
hibited at n recent medical exhibition
In London. The force of the current
ts such that a person putllng his hand
within six Inches of the clmlr re¬
ceives a powerful shock.
Turned From Smithy
to Watch Designing
The first Swiss watch was made by
n blacksmith. In 1080 a distinguished
Englishman was traveling through
Switzerland when his watch failed him
and ilie nearest approach ho could
find to a watchmaker was a young
blacksmith, Daniel Jean Richard. This
young man undertook to repair the
watch, which he did successfully. He
profited so greatly by this experience
In the knowledge be acquired of the
design and construction of watches
that he became the first watchmaker
of the country and the pioneer of a
great Industry. According to a Swiss
watchmaker visiting this country, the
district of Neuchatel produces more
watches than any similar locality In
the world.
If Georgia’s expenditure on col¬
leges were divided equally
the white people of the state,
would pay 28c a year.

FREIGHT CONTAINER
COMMENTS DAMAGE
F. C. Iliff, Engineer, Freight Con- j
tainer Bureau, who has been working |
among the peach shipper* of Georgia
to the end that breakage and dam
ago to the loading, due to improper
assembly of crates and attachment of
bushel basket covers and improper
loading and bracing methods might
be overcome, comments as follows:
There is still a considerable amount
of breakage to crates due to improp
er nailing of sides, bottom and top.
This damage is in the form of loos
sides, bottoms and sprung cov
ers and is caused by the nails miss
ing the head frame, being driven into
the mortice and tenon joint and too
nails. Additional damage is cans
ed by the use of too large nails in
nailing the car strips to the crates
and especially when eight penny
nails are used with car strips one
inch in thickness. A six penny plain
nail is the propersize to use with one
inch car strips. With inch and one
half car strips, a seven penny nail
is proper. These sizes of nails are
also considerably cheaper than eight
or ten penny nails and a saving can
be effected through their use, not
only in first cost of nails, ease :n
driving but also in the elimination
of breakage at unloading points when
the strips are removed. Large nails
result in the covers being torn loose j
as well as the opening of the head
frame at the corner.
Mr. Iliff advises that shippers
change to a smaller size stripping
nail and also to nail crates as fol¬
lows:
