ued at over one million pounds, while
in addition there were over 600 chas
sis valued at 220JKH) pouiids, and tifes,
tubes and other parts valued at over
(loo,ooo pounds. TMm figures were
given in the Commons where there is
a growing disposition to put some tax

papers are urging such action.
Three* prisoners escaped from th<

a convict out at the eamp near t

ng them the slip and he is also at
present a free man. The police are
on his trail and state that they will
locate him.
The third man to brenk loose and
run from the officers was Stovall
Daniel. Yesterday afternoon Officer
H. 'K. Brooks went after this man, a

itated last night tljiit he would eutch

by Alcidc Verd, 72 years of age. Hav-

mxious to serve his country and de
manded immediately that he be semt
to the front. His request was
granted and he now is serving with
the 47th territorial regiment in the
flrst line trenches, surprising hit
comrades by his high spirits and
good humor.

With a Fractured Skull.—-For thir
ty-six hours E. M. Gunter, a flagman
on the Seaboard- railroad, has been in
a rather serious condition as the result
»f fll from the top of a freight car
at Comer Saturday. He is receiving
treatment at St. Mary’s hospital.
Graduate School—The graduate
school of the University of Georgia
will possibly have its largest enroll
ment this year. There arc several
candidates registered for Master’s de-
# Dr. Eugene Hill, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church of Athens
registered this morning in the Uni
versity and is now a full-fledged stu
dent.
Fair Warning.—The other day
the Rounder inaavci lently took a
drink of the city water which was just
as it poured out of the faucet rtnd ever
sindl then he has been troubled with
splitting headache. Of course it
would be illogical to blame it all on
the water, but it is reasonable to think
that it might have resulted from tak
ing a drink of the Oconee phosphate.
The Rounder says that if he doer
catch the fever somebody is going to
think that Tom Watson has moved
to Athens. ,
Injured His Toot*—While riding hi?
bicycle yesterday afternoon about; 6
o’clock on a hill near his home San
son Evans, the -6-year-old *0i\ of Mr.
•md Mrs. C. F. Evans, of 1432 Oconee
street, had his fought caught in the
wheel and wrenched his ankle very
badly. Dr. H. M. Futlilovc was
•ailed in and made an examination of
the injured member and found that
no bones were broken. The little fel
low is much improved today.
Who’ll Be 'First.—The city of Ath
ena has decided to buy a patrol wagon
for the accommodation of guests of
the city prison. 1 The wagon will be
an attractive little auto. When it ar
rives Judge Sterling Price will prob
ably have his court cfowded until
the novelty wears off by those who
don’t care what sort of a jpncHStc
they ride in so long as they gft the
Chance. The weather? Why.’Wash
ington wires that the indications
point o “partly cloudy and cooler* to
night; Wednesday fair, cooler in the
south portion.” Speaking of black
sheep, it tni#ht bte well to remember
that practically all of them were
ortce somebody’s pot lamb. Say, “The
Only Girl” is one of the bedt shows
on the road. The Rounder feels that
it is his duty to hand you this tip.
It is difficult to convince the head
of the house that two heads are bet

Berlin.—Coresrpondencc of The
Associated Press.)—Women have
taken advantage as never before of
the absence of men from the various
German universities to strive for thi
higher education that not so many
fenrs ago was denied them.
During the last semester which fell
entirely ih peace times 4,130 women
were registered at the various insti
tutions. This number has increased to
4,570 during the past haff year, con
stituting a percentage increase of wo
men attending German universities
6f from 6.74 to 8.54. In the entire
past six years the percentage had in
creased only 2.7.
The actual increase in point of num
bers is not as great in two earlier
years, when the figures jumped by
680 and 478 respectively. The 1915
figures hdweVer has been held down
■ trai-■n.i
somewhat by the absence of the
Americans, Russians, English and
Swiss women who customarily are en
rolled and who, during the war, have
been absent
♦ The number of women studying
medicine shows the largest, increase,
rising from 974 to 1150. Five years
ago there were but 612. There are
2258 studying philology and history,
against 2120: 862 studying mathemat
ics, against 761: 170 studying politi
