MILK CONSUMPTION SHOWS BIG INCREASE ATLANTA, Ga., March 18.— Consumption of fluid milk in both farm and city homes has been in creasing for several years, a sur vey recently completed by the United States department of agri culture shows. Average consump tion in 1923 was 53 gallons, com pared with 50 in 1922 and 49 gal lons in 1921. The average daily consumption in 1923 figures out .10 pints per person. , Farmers, who have producing cows, consume more milk and cream than do city people, but farm peo ple without cows, or with non producing cows, consume less than do city people, the survey shows. Average daily per capita con sumption on farms having cows, was 1.78 pints in 1923; on farms with out cows, or having non-producers, the average consumption was .775 of a pint, and in city homes, the per capita daily consumption aver age .87 of a pint. The farm figures were tabulated from approximately 30,000 sche dules of consumption on individual farms. Data on consumption in cities were obtained, principally, from boards of health and covered nearly 300 cities, or about 25,000,- 000 people. An all-woman jury in Pottsvillc, Pa., reached a decision, perhaps just to be contrary, or else just be cause.

The arguments will be on a bill of exceptions filed by counsel for a number of Atlanta tobacco deal ers after Judge George L. Bell, oi the Fulton County superior court, dismissed a petition for an injunc tion in which the plaintiffs sought to enjoin the county tax collector and the state revenue commissioner from collecting the tax. Counsel for the tobacco dealers requested the injunction on the grounds that the law, providing for the tobacco tax, is unconstitutional. In appealing from the decision of the judge of the superior court, the tobacco dealers’ attorneys, in the bill of exceptions, contended that “the court’s judgment was con trary to law and the court erred in not granting the injunction as re quested, in that “the tax act is un constitutional, void and unforcible and violate the constitution of the state of Georgia and the constitu tion of the United States.” It is averred, in the bill of ex ceptions, that “the tax act violates the constitution of the state in that the subject matter contains matter different from what is expressed in its caption” and because “the act refers to three distinct subject mat ters that have no legitimate connec tion.” The bill of exceptions also sets forth that “the act is unconstitution al because it is unreasonable and confiscatory, and deprives the plain tiffs of their property without due process of law” and “the act so con flicts with the internal revenue act of congress that a dealer cannot add the tax to the purchase price of cigars without exceeding the prices fixed by federal laws and regulations.” Attorneys for the state, who will defend the validity of the law be fore the supreme court, declare that they will attempt to show that the act is not unconstitutional and does not refer to three different subject matters, as contended by counsel for the plaintiffs. Should the state supreme court rule that the law providing for the tax, is constitutional, the tobacco dealers will probably seek t 0 have the United States supreme court rule on the validity of the act. at torneys for the dealers' stated.

"LITTLE BIT OF BROADWAY” PRAISED The Misses Burkhiber authors of the play ‘a Little Bit of Broadway” has had 10 years experience in pro ducing musical plays, and have much training in stage technique, drama tics and dancing. , Their plays are distinctive and original, and their work has received flattering en dorsements throughout the country. The following letter is from Mr. Morris C. Lumpkin of Columbia, S. C., former State Commander of the American Legion of South Carolina: “The Legion Auxiliary here has just put on ‘A Little Bit of Broad way,’ which was under the direction of the Misses Burkhimer of Wil mington, N. C. We had two per formances and both were wonder fully successful. The newspapers and public generally were lavish in their praises as to the quality of the production, and for myself I car. only say that I did not believe an amateur performance could be up ‘o the 1 igh standard of entertain ment provided by this performance.

They had been sweethearts once before, and now they are drawn to each other again, but Adrien’s pholosophy of life will not countenance Ann Clemance’s reckless, frivolus pleasures. How Adrien appeals to the finer quali ties of her nature, and saves her from an attempted kidnapping by a gang of Paris Apaches, is cleverly shown in “In Search of a Thrill.” Today’s attraction at the Ryland er is “Painted People,” starring Col leen Moore of “Flaming Youth” fame, and Anjia Q.
