PIGEONS FALL FROM GRACE
Druiken Orgy of Feathered Tribe Re¬
sults From Accident to a
Keg of Rum.
A heavy truck loaded with kegs of
liquor was jolting across a line of car
tracks when one of the kegs toppled
and fell from the top of the pile into
the street. It was thoroughly smash¬
ed, so the truckman whipped up his
team and went his way with stopping.
T^e rum flowed out over the street—
one little dent in the paving collecting
a visible puddle of it.
In a few minutes a pigeon came
fluttering down to drink at the pool
thus fortunately provided for thirsty
birds. The initial taste was a sur¬
prise, but a second and a third soon
followed and soon the pigeon tottered
fluttering away, too overcome to fly.
Other birds, seeing him there and anx¬
ious to wet their parching throats,
followed their brother in his path of
wicked intemperance.
Five minutes later a passerby was
astonished to see a dozen pigeons in
the gutter of the otherwise deserted
street, some dancing drunkenly, oth¬
ers already sound asleep. A few feet
away a hound of disreputable ap¬
pearance was creeping up, slowly and
a trifle unsteady, on his unsuspecting
and bibulous quarry. As he was al¬
most among the birds his feet went
suddenly in several direction and he
lay in the gutter among the pigeons,
growling sleepily to himself, for he,
too, was drunk.
American Girl Supreme.
The women seen in the German res¬
taurants, while better groomed and
better looking than the average Eng¬
lish women, do not look anything like
as chic as they do in America. Their
clothes do not fit as well, and they
seem to not possess the air of confi¬
dence or the vivacity and merriment
of the American women—they appear
to not be Bure of themselves, not
wholly accustomed to the new life.
This contnmt is very noticeable in
Berlin, and much more so in other
German cities. This is why a pretty
up-to-date New York or Chicago girl
never fails to become the center of
attraction in Germany, and immediate¬
ly she enters a restaurant ehe is the
cynosure of all eyes—National Food
Magazine.
Dazed by Skyscrapers.
“Over in Europe they are rather
dazed about American skyscrapers
just now," said the woman who spent
last summer in Denmark. “At least
some of them are. When we began
putting up those tall buildings Euro¬
peans made fun cf us and predicted
disasters. We were sensitive about
their ridicule at times, because we
were not sure of the value of the ex¬
periment ourselves, but as we have
gained confidence and soar recklessly
from one gigantic, heaven-piercing
structure to another still more daring,
Europeans simply hold their breath as
they look at our postcards and other
pictures, which give them a faint idea
of downtown New York.”

JUDGE L. S. ROAN
IS IN THE RACE.
REPORTS TO THE CONTRARY ARE
SHATTERED BY HIS AN¬
NOUNCEMENT IN THIS IS¬
SUE OF THE NEWS.
The reports which have been cur¬
rent in this and other counties of
the Stone Mountain Circuit to the ef
ect that Judge L. S. Roan would not
be a candidate to succeed himself
as judge of the circuit are shattered
by the judge’s formal announcement
which appear® in another column of
The News today.
Judge Roan has served the district
for the past ten or twelve years
and is too well known to the people of
the county to need any comment, at
our hands. He is a native of Camp¬
bell county, and as a jurist he has
won for himself a wide reputation
both in his circuit and as judge of
the criminal court of Fulton County.
Judge Roan has a large number of
friends both here and all over the
district who> will be glad to know that
he is again a candidate for the judge
ship.
