Continued from Page One.
Washington. July 1».—Express, rail

ed that another of the remarkable ae
ries of robberies of Southern Express
Company money pouches had taken
place. This time the amount la said
to be 210,000, and Columbia, 8. C, Is
the scene of the Investigation. In the
past three year, between 225,000 and
150,000 has been mysteriously extract
ed from the pouches of the Southern
Express, and every one of the four
crimes has been committed between
Augusta, Ga., and Washington, D. C.
The first news of these robberlee was
published about a year ago, when It
"as told how two packages of batik
notes, aggregating 250,000 from bank.
In Augusta, Ga, reached New York
minus 210,000. In working upon that
story, a reporter learned that within
a year two more package* of 23,000
and 26,000. respectively, had been taken
In the same way. That made 228,000
of known losses which, with the 210,-
ooo recently missed, brings the total to
uo.ooo. in the three cases aggregating
2:9.000 the method was always the-
same aa the Columbia, S. C, one. The
package* all came from Augusta, where
they were put In an exprea* safe and
In the last case, and probably In the
first two. In a sealed pouch also. These
safes have combination lock* and the
combination Is not known to the mes
senger. It Is opened at certain large
towns by the local agent In the prea

At a special meeting of the Fulton
County Medical Society, held Thurs
day night at Carnegie Library, the
society went on record as being op.
posed to that section of the Hardman'
Covington prohibition hill which re-
istrlcts physicians. After several hours'
discussion, the legislative committee of
the society was Instructed to draft and
present to the legislature a memorial
opposing that feature of the bill.
Senator Hardman, himself n physi
cian, waa present at the meeting and
explained the bill. He went Into the
matter thoroughly and showed how It
would not handicap n physician.
Other members, however, differed
with him and declared that under the
bill a doctor could not prescribe alco
hol or alcoholic drink* without becom
ing criminals or getting others to be
come criminals for them. It was also
declared that If a physician prescribed
alcohol he must act as the messenger
to get the prescription filled by the
druggist.
Senator Hardman (minted out, how
ever, that the bill as amended by the
house was practically the same as the
law prevailing now In the dry counties,
and that physicians were not handi
capped In those counties.

Boys’ Wash Suits
One thing we’ve always condemned in wash
suits for little fellows, is “over-fussiness”—for lots
of frills and embroidering may be covering up shod
dy materials and poor making.
One thing we’ve always demanded in wash suits,
is good, sturdy, reliable weaves. *
And another thing we’ve done for the little fel
lows is to put individuality and characteristic style
into their dress.
