Messrs. T. E. Atkinson, chairman,
Frank Wilkinson, E. M. Cole, W. C.
Wright and W. G. Post have been ap
pointed by the City Board of Education
as a committee to make contracts and

well-known Atlanta architect, has been
employed to prepare plans for the high
school building, and he will have gen
eral supervision of the work of con
struction.
Two 5-room houses on “Rocky Hill”
were destroyed by fire Wednesday
afternoon. The fire originated in the
house owned and occupied by Perry
Dodds, colored, and waB caused by a
spark on the roof. A high wind was
blowing at the time and the flames
soon spread to the house on an adjoin
ing lot owned and occupied by Will
Rowe, colored. But for the good work
of the fire department (which had to
fight- the flames with one stream through
1,300 feet of hose,) other houses on
the same row would have shared the
same fate. The Dodds bouse was in
sured for $600.
Who would have thought that the tin
can is-a menace to the public health?
The expert malaria investigators of
the U. S. Public Health Service have
found, however, that discarded tin cans
containing rain water are breeding
pl..ces for the mosquito, which is the
sole agent in spreading malaria. A
hole in the bottom of the empty can
might have resulted in the saving of a
human life. Certainly it would have
assisted in preventing a debilitating
illness. Empty tin cans have no busi
ness about the premises, anyway, but
if we must so decorate our backyards,
let’s see to it that the can has a hole in
the bottom. Clean up!

Mr. C. R. StallingB, who was bad.ly
hurt in an automobile accident near
East Point on Tuesdajr night of last
week, is still at St. Joseph’s Infirmary,
Atlanta, but so much improved that he
may be able to return home Sunday,
the doctors say. Fred Kimbrough 1 , the
chauffer, whose back was broken and
his skull fractured in the same smash-
up, is yet under treatment at a sanitari
um in that city, and physicians attend
ing him think there is a chance for par
tial recovery in his case. Mrs. L. M.

afternoon, but she is still prostrated
from, the shock and from injuries re
ceived. Miss Harriet Farmer and Miss
Fannie Hill Herring, who were only
