THE HOBO SEASON HAS ARRIVED With the coming of the winter's blasts in the North, the annual caravan of hoboes is marching to a milder section of the country. At this season of the year, the wanderlust germ permeates their system, and travel they must, whether by foot, auto or railroads. These unfortunate “tourists” have no specific itiner ary, but they are out for travel that will carry them to a mild climate where freezes from snow and sleet are practically Unknown. The ordinary hobo is harmless; he is not addicted to the habit of commit ting crime of a serious character, but his chief ambi tion is to pursuade the housewives on tho roadside to “hand-out" to him a sufficiency of food to keep him from hunger. There is an element, however, that sails under the banner of the hobo who are dangerous criminals. These men ply their trade in-various crimes, robbing homes, holding up people on the highway, and if necessary to secure loot, they do not hesitate to commit murder. There is not a day, but a number of these “friendly” hoboes pass through Athens. So far no crimes have been committed, but there is no telling when Athens may be visited by gangsters and burglars. Every precaution should bo taken by the officers to keep close'tab on these visi tors and keep their movements checked up while here. There is more danger of crime being committed now than was the case a decade ago, before the au tomobiles came into general use and the highways paved and otherwise improved for traffic. These undesirable citizens have’ greater opportunities to es cape after committing crime than they formerly did. Murder can be committed on the highways and with the aid of ap automobile, the criminal can escape from the officers and be hundreds of miles away, be fore the detectipn of , tho crime. Cdnditions have caused it to be absplutely. essential for the protection of the public on the highways in this state to have of ficers stationed at nearby* points and the highways patrolled just as is now done'on the streets of the city. - Every county in the state should have a'police force , sufficient to patrol the highways. Of course; it wduld not bo expected of the state police to,arrest every criminal, committing crime, but with such a system, the enforcement of the law and tiie running down of law breakers would be improved. We are not informed as to the number of men it would require to properly patrol the highways in this county, but we do believe that it would be it good in vestment on the part of the county officials to organ ize a force of county policemen sufficient to guaran tee protection against tho itinerant criminal that is. making headquarters in this section of the country. THE DOG PROTECTED FROM DISTEMPER . The recent discovery, of a remedy preventative of distemper among dogs will be received with interest by all owners and lovers of dogs. For all thesa years, it has been a nightmare for owners of (valua ble dogs to find some way to ward off distemper. In the kennels of the country, every precaution has been taken to protect the dog from this dreaded die-' ease, but with all the care practiced, in many in stances distemper would overtake the dog and its life was a question of much anxiety on the part of the owner. Now, however, in England, a preventative has been discovered, and while it U not available for general sale or usages, it is believed that in a short while, unlimited amount of the preparation will be on the market. The New York Times in discussing this scientific discovery, says: "There should be rejoicing among all good dogs, and friends of dogs, over a recent scientific discovery. Five years of research in England made possible by ■ combination of private subscription and public funds, have culminated in the discovery of a preven tative for the greatest ill that dogs are heir to—dis temper. The virus that produces the disease has been identified. The preparations—there are two used—in inoculation have been tested on every kind df canine, from Newfoundlands to Aberdeens,' and H av S Proved effective. These compounds are hot yet available in quantity, but it is hoped that they will soon be prbduced commercially,'so that they may be widely used. A happy feature of the treatment is that the effects of inoculation on the dogs are as a general rule, but slight. Distemper has long been re garded as a most destructive and mysterious disease, Owners of promising puppies could only hope that their dogs might happily escape it; -or come through it as best they could. Now that a successful inocula tion against it has been found, it is not too much to hope that some such remedy for influenza, an equally mysteri- affliction, may be discovered."

Widow of Manager Of Ford's Theatre Seeks Lincoln Chair By KIRKE L. 8IMPSON (Associated Pres* Staff Writer) WASHINGTON — (/P) — Ex haustive search of old govern, ment records has failed thus far to show just how tho war depart- ment came into possession of tho 'chair with Mtt seated at Ford'i. theater when he was shot and fatally wounded by J. Wilkes Booth on the night of April 14, 1885. Stirring'of the ruat on the old files of- two government depart, mtnts and the Smithsonian Insti tution' was prompted by an ap peal from the 73-year-oW widow of Harry Clay Ford who as man. ager of hit brother’s theater S teed the chair in the box that y for the comfort of the Presi dent. bringing It from hie own bedroom nearby. The widow, Mr*. Blanche Chap- men Ford, once a member of the Chapman lister* team which charmed bid Wuhiongtonians with singing and dancing appear- slices on the stage, now is living ta Rutherford, N. J., dependent on her son for support. She has asked return to the chair to her a# the property of her late husband. She hat received for it from a private collector of Lincoln relic* an offer that spells independence • n d comfort throughout her brief remaining years The chalf itself has been stored for decades in the base, ment of the Smithsonian Institu tion. It has never been placed on exhibition because it is a remind er of a great, tragic event as is Ford’s theater itaef, pntrehaked by the government to Insure that it ahoud never again be used as a theater. Moves to convert the dingy uld building or replace it with a new one to be uied as a special Lincoln museum are now afoot Smithsonian records show the chair waa deposited by the inter- or department, which received it frem the war department. Seeking precedent# for return tag the rcic to the widow, army legal authorities turned at once to an opinion by Associate Justice MoReynolds of the supreme court while he was attorney general ta tho first Wilson administrat'on. Property of Jefferson Davis, duelling pistols and bullet wont da and other aimilar arms, seized by Union troops when the president of the vanished Southern Confed eracy waa arrested, was involved. The opinion found that as (here had been no proceeding! to ac quire legal title to theee relics, thqy remained the Ipronerty of heirs of the Confederate leader regardless of how ong they had remained in poisesalon of thr government. On the atrength of that the heir, received the pie. tola and other equipment by ex ecutive order of President Wilson That is a eufficient precedent for return of the Lincoln chair te Mrs. Ford, provided no other leg. al obstacle complicates tho mat ter. It is to clear the road to such action the Search of record; was undertaken. And if it can be determined that the government merely has exercised a right ol m ; ght all these years and kep' for its own uses a bit of property that rightfuly belongs to the wid ow in New Jersey, it will go to her Ultimately, even if Secretary ■Davis of the .war department finds’it necessary to take thr matter to congress for authority. Face Jungle Perils , In French Capital PARIS —(AP)— Many of tho adventures of the jungle were the lot, in the city of Paris, of the two scientists who discovered ’* new yellow feyer serum. They worked with big African monkeys, a kind difficult to han dle nt any time, but rendered both savage and deadly by yellow fever innoculation. Almost alone they carried or, Professor Auguste Pettit and Dr. Georges Stefano- poulo, living in a big room on the third Door of the Pasteur Institute here, with about 60 monkeys and seveVl 'hundred (guinea pfga an companions. Frequently they could get no assietanco for their menial tasks, so dangerous was their work. At the crucial period ol the experi ments ,Dr. Stefanopoulo slant night after night on n cot near the mon key cages. Three or four time, nightly he rose to examine the condition of the infected animals. If a thonkey seemed near death, he chloroform ed it quickly in order not to lose the yellow fever virus, for when dead the monkeys yield no virus. He and the Professor cleaned the cages and fed the monkeys. During innouculstions Stefano poulo held the animals, while Pro fessor Pettit, wearing thick gloves handled the medicines. Even with this protection, Pettilj Jhas fbe bitten three times within the la year. A rifle always stood handy, foi occasionally a monkey broki iway. On several occasions mon keys got out of tho windows am can over adjoining roofs with i hunting party in pursuit. Reeentlv additional funds havi. enabled the scientists to install window bars and to get assitanti Their serum has been ested at tl Institute and they have notlfi the Academy of Medicine that h i success as a preventive and ai a care. • \ ” £ WOMEN, WOMEN!
