SAYS COIN
City Park Board Head Renews
Attack on the Construction
Department.
J. O. Cochran, president of the city
?ar k board, declared in an interview
today that leading members of the city
council had informed him that the de
partment of chief of construction
would squander $200,000 this year. H®
said that they had also told him that
while more street work had been au
thorized by council than ever before.
IP 3S would be done than in several
years.
Mr. Cochran and the department are
at daggers drawn toddy following a
denunciation of the construction de
partment by Mr. Cochran at the meet
ing of the park board, yesterday, when
It was reported that'the park plot in
the center of North avenue had been
mutilated by the laying of a sewer.
Cochran Denounces
Construction Department.
"It is an outrage and indefensible.”
he declared. "Not only does this de
partment waste the people’s money,
but it wantonly destroys city property.
“It reeks with incojnpetency and
mismanagement
■ It is not the fault of the city coun
cil. The department never obtained
authority from council to destroy this
attractive flowe.r bed. It is nothing
less than an act of vandalism."
The other members of the board
were in accord with President Coch
ran.
Cochran's statement went unchal
lenged today by officials of the con
struction department. Harvey Hatch
er. who'as chairman of the streets
committee of council is virtually the
head of the department in the absence
of Captain R M Clayton, said he did
not care to' make a reply. adding that
ho never made a statement to the
newspapers.
Reply Expected When
Captain Clayton Returns.
Captain Clayton is expected to an
swer Mr. Cochran when he returns
from a trip to his old home at Ashe
ville, N C. It is predicted around the
city hall that the charges wll] precipi
tate an investigation of the depart
ment. But in the absence of so*many
of the leaders of council at this time
no one has taken action.
Without kiTbwing anything about Mr.
Cochran's statement, however. Mayor
Winn has instructed the department
immediately to repair the asphalt
pavement of Peachtrrm street from its
beginning to the city limits. The city
forces are busy- repairing the asphalt
pavements on the^south side this week
and thev will begin on the much needed
work on. Peachtree street next week.
Numerous complaints of the bad
condition of this styeet have been mad°
to the city officials, especially by auto
mobilists, -within the past few weeks.

Giving Tot Mitk From Spoon
Discouraged by Miss Berta
Thomson. Expert.
This is the second of The Georgian's
series of illustrated articles on the
proper care of infants in summer. The
information is given Georgia mothers
by Miss Berta Thomson, an expert of
wide experience.
By MISS BERTA THOMSON.
(Nurse in Charge of the Children's
Ward at Grady Hospital.)
Every mother should take pains
to learn the proper manner of feed
ing babies, for this is one of the
most Important essentials In their
care.
The two customary methods- of
giving nourishment to the baby is
through the bottle and the spoon.
Ordinarily, either one is consid
ered good and both are freely used.
The mother, whoever, who uses the
spoon probably doesn't stop to
think of the advantages of the bot
tle. If she did, the bottle would
take the place of the spoon.
The most important and strik
ing argument in favor pf the bot
tle is the fact that its use prevents
the swallowing of air by the infant
and consequent pains in th® stom
ach. When taking nourishment
from a spoon, the baby is likely to
take in air in strch quantities as al
most immediately tn cause violent
pains. IVe are inclined to regard
this ache as coming from the food,
or snm® unsettled condition of the
stomach, when, in reality, it would
have been avoided by the use of the
bottle.
When the bottle is used, it should
be held in an upright position. In
this way the neck of the hottie is
constantly kept filled with the
liquid, and this prevents the suc
tion of air into the baby's stomach.
Instead of feeding the baby air. you
are giving it something substantial. .
Here is an important point as
to feeding with the spoon, in the
event the spoon is used in prefer-

enre to th® bottle. Th® spoon
should always be Inserted in the
lower corner of the mouth. This
will prevent the baby from chok
ing. Should the spoon be Inserted
in any other part of the mouth, the
chances ar® strong that th® tot will
strangle and cause a violent strain
ing of its tender throat.
In either instance, whether feed
ing from bottle or spoon, the baby
should repose in an easy and com
fortable position, so that no one
part of its body will be overtaxed
and draw strength from the stom
ach.
Cleanliness Essential.
Every mother should try to nurse
her child. If she is very weak or
has a serious disease, then she
should not endanger the baby by
nursing It. A nursfng mother
should take special car® of her
self. however—she should walk tn
the fresh air every day, take at
least eight hours sleep at night and
lie down in the middle of the day
for possibly an hour. She should
also eat three regular, nourishing
meals each day. A few teaspoon
fuls of warmed water will suffice
for the baby’s food until the moth
er’s milk comes.
In the use of artificial foods for
babies, great care should be used.
As to cow’s milk. It will be found
that in some instances babies can
not digest it at all. Some mothers
modify the milk by diluting it with
water, adding lime water to break
the curd an<T sweeten it with sugar.
The modification of milk must be
suited to each particular child. No
set prevails.
In feeding with a bottle, regular
ity, cleanliness and judgment are
required even more than in the
nursing of a baby. The bottle
should be of a smooth finish, with
ounce marks on the side, and fitted
with a smooth nipple. Bottles with
long tubes should not be used, as
the inside of the tube becomes
slimy and sour. Food should never
be allowed to stand in a half-empty
bottle to be used again. The bottle
should be emptied and thoroughly
cleansed before the next meal. Ev
ery effort should be made to keep
the bottle and nipple clean to pre
vent infection. Too much care can
'not be used.

WOMAN NOTARY
BILL IS PASSED
*
House, Members Deserting. Ad
journs Until Monday—Lieut.
Vote Delayed.
With members fading from their
seats and disappearing toward the rail
way stations, w-lth Speaker Holder re
peatedly- announcing "no quorum vot
ing” and sending the pages scurrying
through the loboies to round up ab
sentees, the house today finished its
final labors before the Fourth of July
vacation and took a rest until next
Monday. It passed a half dozen local
bills and several of a general nature,
including one permitting nomen to be
come commercial notaries public.
t The passage of the "woman notary”
bill, offered by Mr. Stubbs, of Putnam,
was taken by advocates of the "wom
an lawyer" measure as an indication
that the legislature which granted
women the right to witness official
papers would also grant, them the right
to practice law. It was passed by- 1115
to 1, a practically unanimous vote. It
must yet reach the senate.
It was hard to put any legislation
through today, for the members were
keeping one eye on the clock and the
other on their time tables, and there
was barely n quorum remaining when
the house adjourned at noon after sev
eral motions to adjourn had been voted
down by members., with hills remaining
on the desk. Some of the lawmakers
will go to th® Crawfordville celebration
tomorrow, some to a. barbecue at Ball
Ground, hut most of them will leave
this afternoon for their homes.
*Dozen Pills Introduced.
Th® MeEldeath bill, to create the of
fice of lieutenant governor, came up
for passage, but the hou®e had so
thinned out that the author feared its
defeat, through lack of a constitutional
majority and obtained its postpone
ment until next week, immediately aft
er the vote on the Tippins hill. Mr.
Deese, of Pulaski, had his bill creating
the n®w county- of Bleckley- j-ostponed
unitfl July 17 for the same reason.
Mr. Ault, of Polk, put through the
house his jo’ll to prohibit drunkenness
in railroad trains, fair grounds and
baseball parks and other places of pub
lic assembly and providing rigorous
penalties.
More than a dozen new bills were
introduced and read. One. by Mr. Fos
ter, of Newton, known as the "white
sla*-e" bill,, prohibits any person from
inveigling a female of chaste character
into a disreputable house, and fixes the
penalty at from four to seven years im
prisonment. A bill by Mr. Beck, of
Brooks, would create a new county, to
be known as Cook county, and formed
from the western part of Berrien coun
ty. Another bill, with a dozen signers,
appropriates $7,500 to the state chemist
to increase the efficiency of the inspec
tion of fertilizers, foods and drugs.
R P [sresentatives J'rohock and others
offered in the house today a bill to
authorize the Atlantic, Waycross and
Northern railroad to condemn, lease or
purchase the tracks of the Southern
railway from Fort Valley to the junc
tion point of the former Atlanta and
Florida railroad and the former East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, and
the authority to condemn for joint use
the tracks of the Atlanta. Birmingham
and Atlantic road from Way-cross to
Douglas. It was referred to the com
mittee on railroads.
Must Investigate Falls Case.
The senate has a second time refused
to consider a reopening of the Tallulah
Falls controversy without a commit
tee report. Senator Shaw's effort to
obtain a reconsideration of his reso
lution requesting the governor bring
suit was wasted again today. He lost
by- a vote of 19 to 17. ,
A majority- of the senators, follow
ing the leadership of Senator Felker,
insisted that the matter be thrashed
out in commimttee before coming to
the senate.
A similar fate attended Senator
Sheppard’s effort to consider the Alex
ander resolution relative to the Bris
tow amendment. Representative Alex
ander succeeded yesterday in getting a
special committee in the house to care.*
fully consider the Federal amendmsyit
after asserting that the Bristow enact
ment had never passed the Federal
congress with the requisite two-thirds
vote.
The senate Intimated plainly that it
did not care to vote on the question
until next Monday. The senate ad
journed until Monday after a sleepy
session.
Adjutant Genefal Obear said today
that a bill would be sent to the legisla
ture providing a reimbursement of the
military- fund with the $7,500 appropri
ated to defray the expenses of the
Second regiment at the Confederate
veterans reunion in Macon.
As is well known, the $7,500 was ex
tracted from the annual military main
tenance fund by- Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb,
after a vigorous protest by the military
authorities. It was asserted at the time
the legislature should have made a
special levy to meet the reunion ex
penses.
As It is now, the military- fund, which 1
never exceeds $25,000 annually, is de
pleted and th® authorities says that the
return of the $7,50n is necessary to
meet current expenses

CLAYTON, MO., July J.—A romance
that began last fall, when the bride was
a nurse and the bridegroom a patient,
was happily ended when Miss Matilda
Dleckhorner, of the Rebekah hospital,
and Dr. Elbert Baker, a 1912 graduate
in medicine of St. Louis university,
eloped from St. Louis to this place and
were married.
The -bride, who is nineteen years old,
met Baker when he was sent from the
university to the hospital suffering from
acute tonsilitis. The patient first won
the nurse's admiration, she afterward
admitted, when he bore the pain of his
illness with stoical fortitude. He was
a patient for a month and during this
time the flame of love was kindled in
both.

LAWMAKERS PINE
FOR SLATON'CUE
Fear President of Senate Is
Not Going to Give “Feed”
This Year.
There are near-beer bills and income
tax bills anrt other things to*keep the
legislators up at nights, but the burn
ing question the hour, according to
several members, Is:
"Is Jack Slaton going to give his
barbecue this year?"
For fifteen years the lawmakers have
enjoyed feasts of roast beef and flows
of fluids as the guests of the Atlanta
member. First it was plain Jack Sla
ton. then Speaker Slaton and then Presi
dent Slaton of the senate.- He was act
ing governor for a while, but not tn
barbecue time. Some of the lawmakers
say this will be his last chance to give
a barbecue as a brother member, for
he will be governor next summer.
Mr. Slaton hasn’t been asked the di
rect question, but more than one legis
lator with the memory of roast lamb
and Brunswick stew in his system has
dropped a broad hint that he was waft
ing for an invitation to another feed.
His friends believe Mr. Slaton has de
ferred issuing the invitations through
doubt of the propriety o’Y playing host
to the legislature, while he is a can
didate for governor, but they believe
they can show . him the error of his
position and assure him that the legis
lature, having grown used to his feast,
will not consent to missing It this year.

not turn them out in the sweet fields and under clean skies

must give them a chance. They’re growing, they need
ozone and romping room. Send them to Colorado and
see them blossom into strength. You’ll be surprised how
little it costs.
Any way of going to Colorado is a good way, because it gets

EOEI RICH BRIDE
Declares Heiress, From Whom
He Was Separated by Her
Parents, Proposed.
, e
NEWARK. N. J., July 3.—Til stick
till I get her back. -The Lushears may
be able to hire the best lawyers, Mlt
just let Dorothy see me. and, no matter
what the court does, she’ll come back
to me, for she loves m® and I love her."
These were the words spoken by Con
rad C. Eysoldt, the chauffeur, who
eloped with the daughter of John C.
Lushear, the Newark banker. Proceed
ings have been brought to annul the
marriage of the pair.
Mr. Lushear. president of the North
Ward Bank of Newark, and his wife
were tn court in that city, and were
forced to listen to the -chauffeur’s ac
count of his affair with their daughter,
Dorothy.
To the astonishment of all, Eysoldt
asserted that it was Miss Dorothy who
suggested their elopement. "I never
urged her to leave with me; she asked
me,” he asserted.
Wanted to Wait.
"I loved her and she loved me,” ex
plained the witness, “but she asked me
first to marry her. while I thought it
better to wait a while; that's all.” '
"Can you prove that?" demanded the
lawyer.
"I certainly can. She wrote ft tn let
ters to me. I have them."
"Do you know the story of the Gar
den of Eden?" inquired Parker gravely.
"I do not," said Eysoldt.
“You do not know about the serpent
and Eve?”
But the answer was lost, because At
torney Henry Pomerehne. for Eysoldt,
jumped up and protested that “we don’t
know such a place as the Garden of
Eden ever existed."
There was a hurst of laughter, and
then Eysoldt told his version of the re
turn of himself and his bride to the
home of her parents. H® said that her
father wasn't there when they arrived,
but that when he did come he drew a
revolver and, pointing it at Eysoldt,
cried: “So you did bring her here, you
cur! I told you last night I’d shoot
you and now I will.”
