BRITON DIRECTS
USE OF STILI.ETO
LONDON, Aug. 13. —Sir George
Greenwood, presiding recently at a
meeting of the London Society for
the Prevention of Premature Burial,
said that he had given directions to
those who would be his executors to
plunge a stiletto into his heart after
his deat hso as to make certain of
it. He added that a school mate of
his, who became a great surgeon,
insisted that the stabbing process be
carried out as a precaution. Sir
George declared he had no faith in
the present so-called modern meth
ods of certifying death.
Miss Emily Akes, honorary secre
tary of the society, said that one of
the best known men in England

“In our university here it is dif

Need for Trained Men
Then he encountered another
difficulty. In an age of specializa

untrained men —and thousands of
the men and women he was trying
to assist lacked both business and
mechanical training.
This presented the idea of an ex
convicts’ college.
He signed up Dr. T. Marcellus
Marshall, first president of Marshall
College, as chancellor. Next iie

university—a school for stenog

WHEN IS A COWHIDE

ATLANTA, Au<?u.t 12. j
Question: When is a cowhide
more than a cowhide?
Answer: When the ticks quit

longer is punctured with holes, /
small and large, that leave it
useless for leather.
Time was, says Dr. Peter F. S
Bahnsen, state veterinarian, <
\ when a Georgia cowhide had

out of.
Now, since Georgia and Uncle <
Sam went in together and put ■

the dipping vat route, hides of
/ Georgia cows are bringing a )
; premium in the market where (
they buy such things for the (
shoe manufacturers.
( Now a Georgia hide is some- 51
thing particularly desirable by i

Dr. Bahnsen, like Georgia water
