of a small bottle of cocaine which

in order that he might be impris

of the habit.
After remaining in a cell for a,

Atlanta, May '.V.—The gala spirit
that marked tlia presentation by
Yaarab Temple >1 a magnificent
orient pearl, rimmed with diamonds
to Potentate Forrest Adair, almost
rivalled Shrine week itself, and many
people as they watched the autos
loaded with fez-toppod nobles whirl
ing toward the beautiful Druid Hills
Country club, imagined for the mo
ment that they were dreaming or
that the national convention was
holding carnival again on the Atlan
ta streets.
Not since war times has Atlanta
ever been so enthusiastically proud
of one cf her cit!veils ab she has . ten
of Forrest Adair since the magnifi
cent success of too Shrine conven-
:i.,n the larges* convention in tr.c
history of the world—which ho was
responsible for bringing to Dixie.
In accepting the token, Mr. Adair
modestly denied that he deserved
so much honor, and attributed the
success of the Shrine convention to
"the faithful co-operation of all the
[nobles of the three temples in Geor
gia. the 225,000 citizens of Atlanta,
the enthusiastic- Georgians from all
over the State, and ail the gods from
Jupiter Pluvius down.”
It had been exp**« ted that Poten
tate Adair would be presented on
this occasion with the gift to be
nought with the public subscription
fund, but Toastmaster Paxon an
nounced that the subscriptions had
not yet been closed and that the
presentation would be made later.
Atlanta, May 27.—Senator Hoke
Smith, who is here ror a visit, In
company with Vice-President Mar
shall, has presented In the Senate a
resolution calling for a report from
the joint committee on potsage on
second class mall matter and for
transportation of the malls.
This is the Joint committee which
was appointed In 1912, and Senator
Smith says It has finished its inves
tigations. He urges the necessity
for immediate report on the ground
that the parcels post is cf such char
acter that It should be handled In a
different class of cars and at cheaper
rates than ordinary mall matter.
Senator Smith says it is impossi
ble for the postmaster general co
increase the present weight of par
cels post packages to 100 pounds on
account of the present form of rail
road transportation and the neces
sity for enlarged space in which to
landlc the parcels post.
He says that with the report of thl3
ommittee it would be practicable to
adopt a different style of car for
the transportation of parcels post.
<tnd make the railroad transporta
tion cheaper, thus sutsaining the
present reduced rates which have
been fixed nv the postmaster gen
eral and making it probably i fusible
for the postmaster general to sti..
further reduce the rates.
Senator Smith has been a most
active supporter of the parcels post,
and it was due largely to his efforts,
1th Senator Bourne, that the origi
nal bill was brought before the Sen
ate, which provided for low rates
for short distances.
Senator Smith does not think It
feasible to Increase the weight of
the package beyond fifty pounds un
til an improved system of trans
portation is adopted, and the object
of his resolution is to bring a re
port from the committee which has
•been investigating the subject, so
that legislative action may take
place which will facilitate the fur
ther development of the parcels post.
Atlanta, May 27.—Professor Wil
liam J. Cole, the aged and eminent
archeologist, who has recovered from
the illness Incident to his venture
some explorations in the Stone
Mountain neighborhood, is planiflng
a trip to Persia, Russia or Scandi
navia, to observe the total eclipse
of the sun on August 21 next.
He will be accompanied toy a num
ber of scientists and astronomers
from northern universities. On that
date the earth will pass between the
moon and the sun, and all the scien
tists who can make the trip are an
xious to be In the zone.
Professor Cole has already been
in correspondence with fellow work
ers m Europe, arranging stations for
observations an 1 the making
photographs. His present intention
Is to go to the 85 mile total eclipse
zone, which includes the University
cities of Bitlis, Irebizond, Kief,
Minsk and Riga. The totality of the
eclipse at Kief will last two minut
es and thirty one seconds, but Prof
essor Cole counts a trip half way
around the world time well spent in
order to be there when it happens.
Since the end of the disorders in
the Balkan peninsula, the Atlanta
scientist may remain on the other
side of the ocean tnIs winter, in or
der to continue the Greek excations

A little girl at the Vashti Home
