WIG SHORTAGE
CRAMPS COURT
IN AUSTRALIA
SYDNEY — (AP) — Young
barristers heing colled to the
bar in Austfralia find they can
not practice law — because they
cannot obtain ‘wigs. -
No wigs have wveen imported
since ' 1939,
A leading barristers’ supplier
said “Barristers’ ‘wigs are made
by hand of horseaair. A London
firm has a virtual monopoly.”
Local wig-makers have never
fried their hands at lawyers’
wigs.
A wig in an Asstralian court
is absolutely essential. If a bar
rister appeareq without one, the
stern judge wpopuld declaim:
“Mr. —— I cannot see you.”
Any statements the barrister
made would be ignored, anq the
court would proceed as taough
he were not there

Paving Delay Hit .
At Mass Meeti
ass Meefing,
Gl Predominated
CARTERSVILLE, Ga. Aug. 15—
(AP)—A mass meeting of Bartow
county citizens, predominantly
veterans of the recent war, pro
tested today delay in paving of a
road to Rome, Ga., and appointed
a committee to “‘stay with” County
Commissionér Arthur V. Neal “un
til the road is paved and com
pleted.”
The group-was from the Iron
Hill and Euhralee communities of
the county. The road passes
through these communities.
The mass meeting was held at
the Bartow county court house.
Neal agreed to make a date for
the committee to meet with State
Highway officials in Atlanta to
discuss completion of the road.
All members of the committee
are ex-Gl's except Frank Shaw,
who was included, the veterans
said, because they wanted the ad
vice of an “older head.”
Dolph Nelson, a veteran, acted
as master of ceremonies at the
meeting. He questioned Neal at
length regarding what he termed
a delay in road building in the
county. ¥/
Philip Stiles, the first speaker
at the meeting, said the veterans
intended “getting what we want
in a legal and orderly manner that
will reflect no discredit on Bar
tow county.” !
Bartow county of which Carters
ville is the county seat is located
about 40 miles north of Atlanta.
To Go To Eire

DUBLIN—A P.—Eire is a refuge
now days for people who dislike
the rationing and the politics of
England.
In the British House of Com

get a permit to visit Eire takes
three weeks. Home Secretary
Chuter Ede promised a speedup.
There is plenty of food, drink
and entertainment. Food is almost
unlimited, provided you can get a
hotel room. Many brands of Scotch
are sold at half -the prices of Brit
ain or. Northern Ireland.
Food is a trifie rich for newcom- 1

guests. .. - ‘' "

Skiers Slide On
Over Hot Lake
! -
AUCKLAND, N. Z. —(AP)—
First a hot lake, ‘nen a mass of
red- hot lava, the ciater of Mount
Ruapehu. 9.000 feet high, in the
center of the North Island of
New Zealand, now has develcp
e¢d into a fine snow basin for
skiers.
Thais . crater lake, surrounded
by icy cliffs severai hundred fcet
high, had for years been one of
New Zealand’'s foremost tourist
attractions. ‘Bluish~green in color,
it was cool enough for swim
riing in some part: while in
cthers it was almcst boiling. It
gave off a sulphurous vapor and
at times the-e were minor vp
heavals in the lake. Otherwise
the mountain gave no sign of ac
tivity and it was generally con
sidered to be decreasing into an
extinet volecano.
Last year, however, it burst
into violent activity, sending
shots thousands of feet into the
air, and hurling ocut from the
crater boulders as large as
houses. The lake disappeared
and only masses of lava ‘were
visible in the raging inferno of
ine crater. A heavy coating of
volcanic ash covered the moun
tain and made ski-ing impossible.
This year activity has steadily
‘decreased and with the winter
soorts season now in full swing
skiers have been flocking to the
mountain. The floo: of the old
iake covers some eigat acres. It
is broken only by a voleanic vent
in the center. This still = shows
cigns of minor activity. Water is
at times thrown up a height of
30 feet.
FROG-IN-ROCK STORY
GOES ON THE ROCKS
SYDNEY AUSTRALIA—(AP)
—The perennial ‘story about
frog living for ages in solid rock
has croppe up again when men
sinking shafts found a frog in a
rock but the explanation deflated
the story.
Naturalists pointed out that no
frog can live long without air
and that experiments have shown
that frogs sealed in stones with
even a chink left for air, died
within a few months. They ex
plained that in some instances
young frogs squeezed into rock
crevices to escape droughts. Mois
ture trickled down the crack and
insects and worms sought the
same shelter, providing the frogs
with food. The frogs grew too
large to get out and stayed in
their stone traps until found.

Nine Atforneys To
Unit Plan In Court
ATLANTA, Aug. 15—(AP)—
Nine lawyers who will defend
the constitutionality of Georgia’s
county unit voting system held a
final conference today in prepar
ation for the hearing which opens
at 10 a. m. tomorrow in Federal
District Court here.
Attorney General Eugene Cook,
who will direct the defense, said
the principal points have been
agreed on, but he declined to spe
cify what slant the arguments
will take. {
Two companion suits, seeking
to block the Democratic nomina
tion of Eugene Talmadge as Gov
ernor and Judge James C. Davis
as Representative from the Fifth
Congressional District, will be
heard by a three-judge tribunal. |
Cook said W. S. Mann of Mec-
Rae, and John Dunaway, ap
pointed special deputies by Gov-,
ernor Ellis Arnall in the Tal-1
madge and Davis cases, respec
tively, would present the main
arguments for the defense. |
Other lawyers who have par
ticipated in planning the defense
are Samuel D. Hewlett of Atlan
ta, B. D. Murphy of Atlanta, and
Baxter Jones of Macon, all
friends of Taimadge, and Bill
Grant of Atlanta, on behalf of
Judge Davis.
Assistant Attorney General
Victor Davidson was assigned by
Cook to work on the Talmadge
case, and Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Cleburne S. Gregory, ijr. to
the Davis case.
Talmadge has not participated
in any of the conferences for
planning the defense, Cook said.
The Attorney General said he
expected arguments in the case
to be completed Friday.
The suits, brought by Dr. Cul
len Gosnell, Emory University
professor, and others, are. the
first court attack on the couunty
unit system since it became A
part of Georgia statutory law in
1917, Cook said.
By HAROLD MILKS
NANKING—A P.—Chinese gov
ernment experts assisted by
American technicians are trying to
unravel the age-old snarl of
China’s weight and measures.
Centuries ago some emperor, to
hike tax revenue, changed the size
of the unit for measuring payment
of taxes in the form of grain.
Succeeding dynasties increased
the size of baskets for measuring
taxes in kind. Gradually this sys
tem was extended to units of
weight and length as well as
volume.
After the birth of the Chinese
republic officials sought to stand
‘ardize weights and measures.
’They found thousands of different
units of measurement in use,
alike in name but different in ap
plication.
The last Kuomintang congress
decided upon nationwide adoption
of the metric system. But the
changeover will take time. So an
interim solution was worked ouf,
known as the one-two-three sys
tem because the unit of volume
equals one liter, two units of
weight equal one kilogram and
three units of length equal one
meter,
It isn’t quite so easy as that,
though. While the system is gen~
erally used throughout industrial
ized China, agricultural areas still
cling to the old units, which vary
from village to village, from trade
to trade.
Government experts have found
the Chinese foot has varied
through the ages from 192 centi
meters to 677, the bushel from
476 cubic centimeters to 5,130 and
the pound from 285 grammes tc
1,940.
