' PAVED HIGHWAY TO ATLANTA A project which is creating much interest and one which would mean much for the comfort and con venience of the public is that of paving tho highway from Athens to Atlanta via Winder and Lawrence- ville. It is understood that an agreement has been reached between the officials of Gwinnett county and the'highway department for the paving of the" high way between those points and now the matter of paving from Lawrenceville to Winder and Winder to Athens is next in order. There Is no doubt about tho movement receiving the hearty support of the people here and through their efforts it is believed that the highway depart ment of the state could be interested in the project sufficient to bring about a successful culmination of the proposed paved road. • The road from here to Atlanta Is only fair, at best but after rains, the road between Lawrenceville and Atlanta becomes very heavy and almost impassable, so it is spjd, by those who have occasion to travel them . A toncrete road would be economy for the counties and the state and it is to be hoped that a mooting can be arranged of those interested and the project put in motion for an early commencement of work and its completion. With such a highway between here and 'Atlanta, the time to make tho trip would be reduced to about one half that required now. Besides, the saving of wear and tear, gasoline and oils. ‘It is an important undertaking and one in which everyone of tho various counties interested should lend their aid. A meeting of the officials has been prbposed for the purpose of formulating plans and arriving at some definite conclusion for thq building of the high way. It is to be hoped that there will be no time lost in planning this important highway and that the matter may be agreed upon and definite action taken by those In authority to bring about the much reed ed improvement. \ nv« WHY CRITICISE THE WOMAN The recent marriage of a woman, said to bo thp age of 49 to a boy alledged to be 16 years old, has brought on considerable unkind comment and court action on the part if the parents of tho boy in nn at* tempt to have the marriage anullcd. Wo do not see anything in the case which should call for court action or grounds for separation. Undef the nineteenth amendment women are given every right and privi lege granted the men, and the lady who has passed the age of forty or even fifty, if she so desires to tuke unto herself a husband of tender age thorp should be no more objection to it than there would bo for a man who has passed that age to take unto him*ei’ a girl of sixteon as a wife. The matter is aa broad as it la long and the women should have the same privilege in marriage as that which is enjoyed by the men. Tho case reminds us of what Karen Michaelis terms as tho "dangerous ago." If there is anything to this period of life, then why not be ns generous to the women as to the men? The man who is sixty and marries a girl of sixteen is just os much out of line as the woman who is forty-nine and marries the boy of sixteen. Since we have given the women the right of the ballot, jury duty and in fact all tho rights under the law enjoyed by the men, let us go farther and be fair and withhold our criticism when they commit acts which are entirely within their rights and prerogatives as much so as that of the men. Instead of criticising the woman of forty- nine who married the boy of sixteen, let us accept it as her right and privilege and accord to her the right which is contained in the nineteenth amendment VIOLATION OF FOOD LAWS Notwithstanding the drastic laws controlling and regulating the sale of pure foods there arc many violations reported and during the year the Depart ment of Agriculture reported, through the Bureau of Chemistry, which is charged with the enforcement of the food and drugs act, a total of 1,460 prosecutions for the present year. The report shows that a ma jority nf there violations are in oil products and but ter. These articles are adulterated with cocoanut oil and other foreign fata and reshipped to other states. Much butter is shipped from Georgia to eastern points and in turn the butter is reworked and the amount of butter-fat greatly reduced. Such practices have been carried on for yean by expert dealers' and shippers thereby making an enormous profit on their food products. The government has become quite active, in this department and many of these unscrupulous dealers have been arrested and some of them barred from the conduct of business. An act of congress estab lishes a standard of 80 per cent as the minimum of butter-fat and any product failing short of this re quirement is seized and the dealer required to show cause for his violation of the pure food law. A se vere fine or sentence should be imposed upon all such violators of the food law, sufficient to impress the criminals of the importance of observing the require ments aa laid down by the government supplier, the enormous , rise ot prices III Germany, nhd the eve.-’ widening use or the gold unit fat the eatesbllshment of prices. How*, ever, prices are sow lower thaa i in Germany.
