1MMTORS IN THOMASVILLE HAVE
LITTLE BUSINESS.
“We have less business this slim
mer than in the past ten years,”
said a physician of tills city last
week. This statement has been veri
fied In the opinion of several of the
doctors of Thomasville. It is a sig
nificant statement that has a ten
dency to emphasize emphatically the
health of Thomasville during the
summer. At this time, in years
past, there has been more or loss

Su-*h a condition is one which

those who have made a systematic
and conscientious effort to improve
health conditions by better sanitary
measures and the observation of
such rules as tend to decrease causes
for disease. Part of this—a major
part, perhaps—is attributable to the
efforts of the Mayor to clean up.the
torrn. He has done this conscient
iously and whenever he has heard of
irregularities that tend to promote
and breed disease, he has taken
the bull by the horns and rectified
the error. The other part is attri
butable to the anti-fly campaign
which has been waged vigorously for
the past three years. It has helped
wonderfully.
The Ladies Study Class is due their
proportionate share for the condi
tion in that they first conceived and
carried out the idea of a cleaner and
better Thomasville, with their clean
up days and efforts to teach the peo
ple just such things as would

disease of various kinds. This work

ter it has been felled and cut into
lops. To apply such a rule with
reasonable accuracy to standing
trees recjwires either exj»erieace or
carefui measurements. It is desir
able that an owner who has timber
whic h is for sale to he able to make a
fairly accurate estimate of the
amount of timber per acre. To do
this it is necessary to determine the
number of 16-foot logs in each tree
and the diameter of each log inside
the bark at Its top. The diameter of
the tree can be measured near the
ground and from this diameter suc-
reasive deductions muit be made to
allow for the thlckneo* of the bark
and the taper of the stem of the tree
ent logs. Since trees often have Ir
regular or swollen butts it is custom
ary to measure the diameter of the
ctem at some distance above the
ground, usually at 4 1-2 feet or about
breast heiglit, taking the average di
ameter in the case of such stems as
are very flat or irregular in cross
sections.
A yard stick or a long rule can be
used for measuring diameters, but
measuienients made with these will
seldom be accurate. A large carpen
ter’s square can be used for measur
ing small trees with considerable
speed and accuracy. When a large
number of tries of lajgc*r size than
two feet is to be measured, a caliper
should to *0*4. Thii can to made
by fastening n stationary arm about
20 inches long at right angles to the
end of a strait.ht strip of wood nbou*
two inches wide. Beginning at the
inner edge of the stationary arm lay
off in inches a scale which can be
notched along the edge of the strip
tc slide over it. When the stem of
a tree is clasped between the two
arms the diameter of the tree is
read from the nearest inch inside the
movable arm. A satisfactory caliper
which will do serviceable work can
be made in a farmer's workshop
within an hour.
From the diameter of a tree means*
ured a‘ breast height deduct for
bark thickness:
Two inches from trees less than
11 inches in diameter.
Two inches from trees between It
and 16 inn^s 1m diameter.
Three Inches from trees more
than 17 inches in diameter.
GA. SUFFRAGISTS GET CHARTER
Atlanta, Aug. 15.—If the Georgia
Suffragettes can’t .get the right to
vote, they can at least have a char
ter. Judge John T. Pendleton of the
Superior Court has granted a for
mal charter to the "Georgia Wom
an’s Suffrage Asociation," as an aux
iliary to the National Organization.
This means that the "votes for
women’’ campaign in Georgia has
formally begun, and that women
speakers will be • sent here from
other states in the near future to
advocate the suffrage movement.
It may be that some real mili
tants will be brought into Georgia
within the near future, though lead
ers of the suffrage movement In
Atlanta say they are not in sympa
thy with mltttast methods.

FORD COMPANY MAKES RECORD
Sales of That Famous Car Are Un-

Detroit, Mich., Aug. to.—When the
Ford Motor Company reduced the
prices of its cars August 1, the per
centage of the cut was larger than
that of any ever made by any au
tomobile company, it is said.
The new prices announced, Runa

Town Car $750 in the United States,
and Runabout $600, Touring Car

AMBASSADOR GERARD RETURN'S.
WIT TO ADOPT GlRL BASIES
Twice as Many Requests of Foundling
Institutions For Girls Than Boys.
"We would like a girl baby. She
must have blonde hair and blue eyes
and if she has a dimple it would be
pli the nicer. Will you please let
us know as soon as possible?"
This is not a communication ad
dressed to high heaven, or the
land of the stork. It is merely one
of the innumerable notes received
by a foundling institution in New
York City. And they furnished a
specimen with all the requirenvnts
demanded, says the New York Press.
Ailhouph as a general rule it is
necessary to comply with such de
tailed requests, there is one, how
ever, that is most frequently insisted
upon. A wedded couple may pray
ami hoi|Te that their first born be a
boy, but the couple that wishes to
adopt a child usually wishes a girl.
The call for girl babies is pretty
nearly twice that for hoys. Why
this is so is difficult to say. It .nay
he that the childless couple or the
"old maid" or the bachelor feel that
they can lavish more tenderness upon
the fragile waif of femininity. Or it
may Le the realization that the path
of the unmothered girl is likely to
bo considered more difficult than
that of the boy, who more easily will
he able to care for himself, and so
love and charitable impulse are
combined.
There is hardly an abandoned kid
dy, male or female, who does not
own a home full of love and com-,
fort in some part of the country.
There is no state or city institu
tion for foundlings in New York.
The largest institution of the sort
is the New York Foundling Hospi
tal, which is controlled by the Sis
ters of Charity, and which receives
contributions from the city. The
great majority of abandoned infants
are brought or sent there and are
baptized in the Catholic faith, and
eventually are placed in Catholic
homes. The other institution is the
New York Nursery and Child’s Hos
pital, but that does not care for as
many foundlings as the former.
