ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR PRIZE
FOR THE BEST NAME
By Robert B. McCord.
The Atlanta Masonic Club recent
ly offered SIOO to the Georgia boy
or girl who would suggest a better
name for the Georgia Children’s
Home Society by June Ist and give
reasons in a hundred words or there
about why the name should be
chosen.
A number have already replied
with their suggestions and their rea
sons, but they miss the point, be
cause some think it is a Masonic in
stitution, and all seem to think it is
an orphans’ home. It is neither
Masonic nor an orphans’ home. The
Masons, like other organizations and
individuals, are much interested in
the great work the society is doing,
but the work is owned and managed
by all the people of Georgia who
support it, regardless of church or
order.
An orphans’ home rears the chil
dren within its own grounds. The
home society, «n the other hand, has
a beautiful receiving station, but the
child stays there three days, maybe
three weeks, almost never three
morths. It goes out to a selected
private home, there to be reared un
der the love and influence of fos
ter-parents, but under the super
vision of the society’s field workers
until it is later legally adopted or
grows up without legal adoption
there in that private home. Home
life and individual care we want for
even the orphan.
Besides helping the child whose
parents are dead, or the child who
murt be taken from its own com
munity, the society engages in a
general child welfare or aid work in
behalf of many who never even come
to our receiving station. Some are
placed with competent relatives,
maybe in another state. A tempor
ary boarding place in a private fam
ily is found for another; a big boy
or girl needs a particular kind of
school, and the society gets it.; an
other just needs a job, and the so
ciety undertakes to get it: All kinds
of aid work, you know.
The way the name reads how it
suggests to folks that the work is
supported out of the state treasury'.
That won’t do, for it is supported
entirely by voluntary contributions,
mostly in answer to letters from me
or from our president, Robt. 11.
Jones, Jr. The state does not take
care of its neediest children, but the
best fojks in it do.
Boy, girl, get more information,
put on your thinking cap, win this
hundred bucks while giving the
Georgia Children’s Home Society a
new name that will convey the right
meaning. Remember the name you
give counts 50 per cent, and the rea
sons in a hundred words or less for
choosing it count 50 per cent in deter
mining the winner. Ask your prin
cipal or teacher to write me f:r a
circular of information. I wish you
could win it, and you can surely try.
Address me at the headquarters of
the society, Ormewood Court, At
lanta, Ga.

YEAR 1922 WAS GENERALLY
WARMER THAN AVERAGE
The year 1922 was the sixth con
secutive year with temperatures
generally above norma! east of the
Rocky Mountains, except that 1920
was slightly cooler than normal from
the Ohio valley southward and in
the west gulf districts. The annual
means ranged from ,cne to three de
grees above normal in all sections
east of the Rocky Mountains, but
west of the mountains they were
slightly below normal in most dis
tricts.
The first three months of the
year were abnormally cold in the
more western states, and February
was especially cold in the northwest,
where the monthly means ranged
from nine to fifteen degrees below
normal, March, April, May and
June were persistently warm from
the Mississippi valley eastward, al
though temperatures, as a rule, were
only slightly above normal in the
gulf districts. Unusually warm
weather for the seaso n was experi
enced during Marhh in the central
northern states and in May from the
Ohio and middle Mississippi valleys
northward. June ewas uniformly
warmer than the average, except at
a few points in the northwest July
was the only warm-season nv/nth,
with temperatures below normal in
most sections of the country, al
though August was unseasonably
cool in the middle and south Atlan
tic itreas. September and October
were warmer than normal through
out the coustry, except in a very few
limited sections, principally in the
south and far west. November was
uniformly cool west of the Rocky
Mountains, and the average Decem
ber temperature was below normal
in the more northern states from
the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans.
Otherwise these months were warm
er than the seasonal average.
While the monthly mean tempera
tures ran quite uniformly above nor
mal throughout the year in most
sections, maximum temperatures
were not unusually high at any
time and no prolonged hot spells
were experienced. No previous high
records. were broken in any sections
of the country.

EAST LAKE HUES
LAID TOFIREBUCS
East Lake, Ga. —Fire, said by a
DeKalb county officer wh > investi
gated, to be of incendiary origin, and
to be another of a series of such in
cendiary fires here, tonight damaged
a new house on Sutton street here.

minutes after the blaze was discov
ered, the woodwork having been
thoroughly soaked with kerosene.
A glass jar, with a small amount of
rosene remaining, was found out
side the room by the officers, and is
thought to have been used by the in
cendiaries in carrying the oil for
starting the fire.
The first of the series of incendi
ary fires was on the nightof March
4, shorty after midnight. It was in
an unfurnished bungalow on Junc
tion avenue, between East 1 ake
Junction and East Boulevard DeKalb
Drive, and was declared by State
Fire Marshal Sharpe to have been
started with kerosene.

Raleigh, N. C., April 12. —Drivers
of automobiles and trucks on thr
public roads of North Carolina must

Laws similar to the North Caro

BAPTIST INCOME IN
EXCESS OF BILLION
In an appeal to southern Baptists
to provide $36,000,000 in additional
cash between now and December,
1924, for the various missionary, ed
ucational and benevolent interests of
the denomination embraced in the
$75,000,000 campaign, in order to
reach the original campaign goal,
the conservation commission calls at
tention to the fact that the 3,367,636
white Baptists affiliated with the
convention have an annual income of
$1,419,433,560. If one-tenth of this
amount were contributed to religious
causes the remainder due on the
five-year program could be taken
care of in a single year and a suffi
cient sum reserved to amply take
care of all local causes, it is pointed
out.
The annual income of the Baptists
of the various states embraced in the
convention territory ia announced as
follows : Alabama, $85,281,240; Ar
kansas, $63,744,474; District of Col
umbia, $11,751,200; Florida, $32,-
695,320; Georgia, $144,030,964; Illi
nois, $22,237,610; Kentucky, SIOB,-
245,804; Louisiana, $41,912,442;
Mar; land, $10,265,304; Mississippi,
$64,974,312; Missouri, $115,630,085;
New Mexico, $3,910,680; North Car
olina, $124,882,895; Oklahoma, $75,-
203,345; South Carolina, $79,971,000;
Tennessee, $87,412,390; Texas, $237,-
863,570; and Virginia, $89,195,535.
A few of the states are employing
men for their full time to give their
best efforts to the development of
the Iccal churches in the doctrine and
practice of Christian stewardship.
