Hemenway pertained to the beautifying of the home. His lec tures are made extremely interesting by the use of lantern slides, of natural scenes, taken from all over the coun try, scenes that best illustrate his point. Hast night he illustrated how trie home could he made beautiful by just a little more care and a small amount of taste. To plant shrubbery a rl trees, or train vines to cover places that are bare is a good point in making a home look attractive. The first point in keeping the premises at tractive, however, is to keep them clear unsightly objects. Tonight Professor Hemenway will lecture at the State Normal School, and tomorrow he will lecture again at the city hall. This time he will dis- s ‘‘Trees and Tree Planting,” and j.-ual this lecture will be illustrated many beautiful scenes.

Atlanta, Ga., March 11.—A conven tion of the Apple Growers from all of the north Georgia counties interested will be held at Cornelia, Ga„ March 28, under the auspices of Mr. Wm Eberhart and Col. I. C. Wade. Among other matters of importance to be discussed by those who are in terested in apple orchards in that sec tion, will be the bill recently intro duced by Hon. Hoke Smith to appro priate $100,000.00 to develop the apple industry in Georgia. Those interested in apple orchards Habersham, Gilmer and other northwest Georgia counties where ap pies flourish, are very much enthused over the outlook (or successful apple growing, particularly as experts from the United States department of agri culture have given it as their opinion that this location is ideal for apple culture, particularly concerning the soil, climate, rainfall and atmospheric conditions. Georgia-raised apples have captured many prizes at various fairs and apple shows throughout the United States, in competition with ap ples from such far-famed apple states as Oregon, New York *and the state of Washington. The Georgia chamber of commerce is actively pushing the work for more apple orchards in northeast Georgia, and President C. J. Haden of this or ganization will be among the speakers at the Cornelia convention March 28, The mayors of the towns of north Georgia will be asked to appoint five delegates, each, to represent their re spective towns, and while at the con vention all delegates will be carried in automobiles to visit the neighboring apple orchards. This'convention will give the people of Georgia an opportunity to learn of the great possibilities of the apple industry to this state, and also to study growing and marketing of ap ples.

Every number on the program was given except one, and all were appre* ciated by the large audience that had gathered in the spacious auditorium of the church. The special contributions to the program were heartily received and most favorably commented upon at the close of the exercises. There were many Baracas and Phil- atheas present and also a number of visitors. The roll-call of classes showed the following report: Oconeo Street Philatheas, 14; Oco nee Street Sunshine Philatheas, 13; First Baptist Philatheas, 12; West End Baptist Philatheas, 12; First Methodist Philatheas, 10; Oconee Street Baracas, 7; Tabernacle Baptiat Philatheas, 6; Young Harris Baracas, 3; West End Baptist Baracas, 3; First Baptist Baracas, 4; Tabernacle Bap tist Baracas, 1; First Methodist Bara- cas, 0. The above report shows that every class in the union except one was rep resented. | The banner was awarded to the Oco nee Street Philatheas. The First Methodist Philatheas con tributed a special number to the pro gram, a chorus, x "F!rom the Green IJills Far Away,” which was enjoyed by the audience. A male quartet by Messrs. N. A Arthur, O. D. Stynchcomb, Ross Co ker and Hulme Kinnebrew was given in a very pleasing manner and was well received. Misses Fairy and Ruby Elliott de lighted the audience with a piano duet, and later very generously responded to a request for a second number. Miss Augusta B. Center, head of the oratory department Georgia State Normal, charmed her hearers with a beautiful reading of "The Vis ion of Sir Launfal.” Her interpreta tion was fine. She later very gra ciously responded to a call for another number, which she |gave in a very happy manner. A hearty encore in- duced her to give one more selection, which the audience very much appre- ciated. Refreshments were delightfully served by Miss Belle Peeler and the rest of the reception committee, of which she was chairman. Much credit is due Miss Peeler and her committee for tht splendid success of this fea ture of the evening. The members of the reception committee were from the Tabernacle Baptist Philatheas. The union will h^ld its next regular mortHv meeting at Young Ham” Me- GLEE CLUB MEMBERS PUNS COMPLETED IN HARD-WORK ROLE READ! EOR CONCERT Anyone passing the’ Colonial about noon today would have had. a rare treat seeing some of the members of the Glee and Mandolin Club in a new role, that is, doing some work. The whole thing was a conglomera tion of hubs, spokes .radiators, pokers, shovels and language unprintable. For be it known that Bill Campbell said that the automobile was the best thing in his act, and even if a little thing like the wheels being larger than the door did not stand in the way—it hdd to be "did.” I^et it also be said right here that if Bill works as hard doin ghiff act as he did getting the said "racer” in the theater it should be a crackerjack. When The Herald went to press two pulleys, twelve over heated fellows and Bill’s overalls were still on the job. The Georgia Glee and Mandolin Club gives its annual performance to night at 8:30 at the Colonial. The club this year is even above the high standard set by that of last year, aqd a genuine treat is i nstore for thos$ who take advantage of the opportunity of seeing this, the only Athens per formance. NEW HIGH SCHOOL OPENS NEXT FALL Joint Meeting Held Yesterday Afternoon Between School Committee of Council and Members of Bdtird of Educa tion-Plans Fc£ New High School Call For Modern Struc ture—Separate Building For Manual Training. REMODELING OF COURT HOUSE FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES TO BEGIN SOON The committee of council and board of education met last night in order to confer on the prospects of chang ing the county courthouse building into a high school. The plans for the additions to the building are now be ing worked upon, and when complet ed will be submitted to the board of education and to council. As the Meigs street school property is in the hands of trustees, and'must be used for educational purposes, there is much discussion as to what will be done with the property, as the school win bt no hmg*r used by the city after the present courthouse is remod eled for use os a high school. “MOST MARRIAGES IRE FOUNDED ON PLATONIC LOVE |nifCD UllUOptn MFU —ON THE BRIDE’S PART," SATS KATHERINE ^ mnpmp rnD DilDItC DIGGING EOH BOBILS Form Tanqo Class in Court to Raise Fund For Family Chicago, Ills., March II.—A tango class hastily was formed in the Court of Domestic Relations Wednesday to out the Rieckel family on its feet. Judge Uhiir gave the class until March 13 to make good, for on that date Charles Rieckel of 4723 South Ridge way avenue must show sufficient funds to support his wife, whom he is charged with abandoning. She is liv ing at 2930 Prairie avenue. Rieckel had told the court he was a tango teacher, but had been making only $3 a week. Do better than that or get into some other line,” advised the court. Your honor,” interposed John P. Ready, probation office* “we can or ganize a tango class in this court to tide him over for a while.” A preliminary canvass put John J. Gardner and John Lick, clerks of the court; Miss Isabel Carruthers, nurse; and Miss Elizabeth Moriarity, social secretary, on the class roster. "We’ll get a class of twenty,, your honor,” said Ready. "Employes of all branches of the Municipal court are invited.” At a meeting late yesterday after noon participated in by the school committee of the city council and members of the boapd of education, plans for the remodeling of the old courthouse into a modem hifA school building were taken ip. Plans for this improvement havj already been made by Capt. Barnett made with sug gestions from Professjbr Bond. Though nothing., definite has been done as yet, it is belii ved that worn on the new school will Hgin about the first of May and that the building will be completed and ready for use by time the city schools open next Sep tember. The plans specify that the present courthouse building is to be arranged practically as it is at present The first floor will be devoted to class rooms and laboratories, and the court room on the second floor will be converted into a large auditorium for the use of the students. The office of the principal and a teachers’ rest room will also be located on the sec ond floor. From each end of the pres ent building, there will be erected large spacious' wings, each wing to contain four spacious lecture rooms, with adjoining cloak rooms. It is believed that the building when completed will give to Athens a high school second to none in the state. There will be adequate facilities pro vided for laboratories and the business departments. The present jail will of course be torn down, and as Captain Barnett stated today, such materia} as is avail able used in the erection of the wings. The jailer 1 ! residence nrUUe r«a<wA- l== eletf and used for the manual training | pi department's work. -This building will give ample space for the cooking and shop work. Mr. Barnett stated this morning that the proposed improvements would cost in the neighborhood of $25,000. The present building cost in the neighborhood of $35,000. It is proposed to start work on the structure as soon as the county of ficials move into the new courthouse, which will be sometime in April. The old high school building will be used for grammar school purposes. “Are marriages founded on platonic love justifiable?” Katherine Grey, the accomplished and intellectual actress, was asked. Miss Grey is the star of "The Rule of 3,” a new farce, in which she manages two ex-husbands and one real husband. She does it success fully. “Am I really the first man you ever loved?” demands her third husband. “Of course you are,” she replied. ‘The love with the other two was purely platonic.” "The question whether or not pla tonic marriages are justifiable is not the important question,” said Miss Grey. “The important fact is that most of them are platonic, on the part of the brides at least. It doesn’t make any difference whether they are or are not to be justified, they will con tinue. “Most women,*' she cbntinued, “wed for a home and independence of their parents or guardians for a chance to be some one in a world of their own. They like their husbands, of course. They pick out the kind of men they can like.-But most of the love is on the part of the husbands. The brides make a great pretense of love.

OF PATRON SAINT As the* third Tuesday in March, the date set for the next meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, falls on St. Patrick’s Day, there will be a large celebration in the form of a smoker. This is tho second smoker given by the chamber and due to the fact thfct the first, given last month, provod such a success they will be given very of them do love; others learn to love often in the future. The first smoktr after they have been married—If the husbands are gallant enough to make them learn. "In Europe there isn't even the pre tense of love, most marriages being settled by parents. Girls don’t see enough of their fiances before mar riage to learn to love them unless it is a case of love at first sight. Some of them learn to love their husbands later, and some learn to love other women's husbands.” Miss Grey spends her leisure hours reading Kant and Hegel, dotes on Lamartine, and adores Huysmans. But Miss Grey sees nothing in this to sur prise one. According to her own He* gel, life is a system of contraries, and for a thing to be true its opposite must also be true, NIEE TO GET PEACE ON FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD (By Associated Press.)

STATUS OF THE CANAL ZONE Discussion as to the future govern ment of the Anal Zone, now that the Panama Canal is practically com pleted, brings into prominence the pe culiar status of that narrow strip of territory. It is exactly ten miles wide, extending five miles each way from the axis of the Canal channel. Over this zone the United States, under Its treaty with Panama, exercises juris diction "as if it were sovereign.” Within this zone, however, lie the cities of Panama and Colon, which are excepted from the American control, and are part and parcel of the Repub lic of Panama proper. The most interesting account of this peculiar territorial relation is to be found in "The Panama Canal” by Frederick J. Haskin. This is the best book about the canal project and read ers of The Athens Herald now have an opportunity to obtain a copy at the bare cost of printing. See the coupon in another part of today’s paper.
