Tots Must Be Clothed Both to Avoid Colds and Suffering From Heat. The following article is the fourth of the series prepared for Georgian read ers by Miss Berta Thomson, expert on the care of babies: By MISS BERTA THOMSON. (Nurse in Charge of the Children's Ward of Grady Hospital.) In the care of the baby not only in summer, but the year round —special attention should be given its clothing. Ever) mother should know how to dress her baby properl), for. of course, the little tot doesn't know, and, unless it has the right kind of clothing and of the proper weight and amount, it will suffer. Many babies are overclothed and many are underclothed- it is an easy matter to do either and both are harmful. Hence, the mother should give consistent thought to the matter of baby's dress. in the heated season it is essential that baby be clothed in such a manner that it will not su'ffer fr rn heat, and at the same time be amply protected from the vexatious summer colds. The most important features of summer dress are a flannel hand, for abdominal support; a long or short-sleeved undershirt, ac cording to the age of the child; diaper, a flannel petticoat for outdoor wear, and a white petticoat— one or the other all the time -and a simple white dress, about a yard long, if the child is under four or five months of age. If the baby is healthy and strong and the weather warm, short clothes can be substituted for the long dress at the end of four or five mohths. Guard Against Colds. If the baby is sickly and the weather cold, should be deferred un til the baby is at least six months old. For the second summer baby, who is teething, care should bo taken to pre vent its catching cold, as colds cause stomach disorders and other ailments. Petersburg, London. Pans, Berlin, Rome and cities even farther aw a) than these capitals. The)- were of every nationality and the spirit of loyalty was rife among them. It is estimat’d that there are at pres ent about 12.000 strangers within the city's gates. Old Glory Has Swept Board. Since the revival of the ancient Greek games at Athens in 1896 Old Glot) has . wept the boards. Many followers >f athletics who were present toda) hail attended the five Olympiads in the past. These games were held at tho following dates; Athens 1896, Paris 190(1, St. Louis V.O'l. Athens 1906. London liiosf The Olympic games tn 1916 will be awarded to Berlin, DR. WILEY QUITS G.0.P.: TO SUPPORT DEMOCRATS WASHINGTON* July 6. -Dr Harvey W. Wiley, former chief of the bureau of chemistry of the department of agri culture. has announced that he had quit the Republican party and would support the Democratic presidential ticket this year. Dr. Wiley made this known at a meeting which organized the Wilson- Marshall Democratic club of the Dis trict of Columbia. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY. JULY 6, 1912. To protect a teething child from cold, a piece of flannel about six to eight inches square should be stitched on the inside of the baby's little undershirt, so that it will completely cover the stomach and abdomen. With this flan nel protector, silk and cotton, or all cotton, undershirts without sleeves are ample. These shirts are known in the stores as teething hands. Second summer babies should not be allowed to go barefooted. Half-length socks and small leather sandals give the child ample comfort, and at the same time protect it from the cold of bare floors, porches and halls. Abdominal Band Essential. For the first summer baby the ab dominal band is absolutely essential. It serves a double purpose. Being tlan r nel, it protects the abdomen from cold. Again, as it is pinned tightly around the body, it acts as a brace or bandage to hold the abdomen in proper place until the organs have developed t.q the point w here a displacement is not to be feared. Without the use of this band, the abdomen would have a tendency to protrude. It can he best controlled in the formative period of the first six months. If not. the abdomen will as sume an abnormal development -that, in a sense, w ill almost become a deformi ty in later years. After baby reaches the age where it begins to crawl and walk it should be dressed to give its limbs all the freedom possible. Simple aprons that button down the back, made of colored wash goods, or the little colored rompers, buttoning down the back and around the legs, are convenient and sensible top gar ments for crawlers and walkers. These aprons and rompers, worn in or around the house, save laundry and the wear and tear of the more expensive white dresses, keeping the latter fresh for dress) wear on the streets and when there are callers. Simple white petti coats. with the top garment and under shirt or teething band, are enough mid da) clqthes for a second summer Don't bundle the baby up too much, but take care not to expose- it without a light coat or wrap in the cool of the morning or evening. CARRIES PIECE OF GLASS IN HIS JAW QUARTER CENTURY WASHINGTON. July 6 Rather a icmarkable experience was that of George E Diggs, head waiter in a fash ionable apartment, who, for almost a lifetime, unknowingly carried in his anatomy a piece of glass one-eighth of an inch wide and five-eighths of an inch long. .\lthough the glass had been hidden in the flesh of his Jaw for a quarter of a c-ntury. Diggs did not begin to feel the effects of it until recently. He went to a. physician, who, prescribed a ■liniment, which had the effect of draw - ing the glass to the surface of the skin. Feeling a hard substance in his jaw, Diggs pulled it out and found It was a •fragment of glass. He explains that when hut four years old he pulled a window down on himself and that pieces of gUss stuck in his jaw, but at ■the time it was thought that all of them had been removed J. N. HILL QUITS NO. PAC. NEW YORK. Jul) 6—J. N Hill, vice of the Northern Pacific, has resigned from that position and has been succeeded ' by Colonel W. S. Clough.

BOND ISSUE EDR STREET REPAIR WORK URGED Council Would Ask Power to Raise $2,000,000 for Im proving Thoroughfares. • Criticism of the condition of At lanta’s streets has aroused members of council to a determina tiotj to resort to drastic measures for relief. Today a proposed $2,000,000 bond issue is urged by one element, while others want a thorough investigation of the construc tion department and of general condi tions of streets before taking any ac tion. A special committee voted yesterday to recommend to council that a charter amendment be obtained giving council the authority to call a bond issue elec tion early next year. Mayor Winn made a personal inspec tion of many streets yesterday in com pany with engineers of the construc tion department. He then held a con ference with officials representing the different viewpoints of the situation. Mayor Trie* to Heal Breach. The mayor said some of the criti cisms fitade conditions appear worse than they are. But he has taken a hand and advised that all the asphalt paving in* the city, most of which is dotted With holes, be repaired at once. It is expected that his investigation will go further and that later he will have more definite comments to make. He prtld special attention to the lay ing of the sewer through the North avenue park and the cutting of the trees in Baker street, work that brought down bitter criticism on the’ construction department from J. O. Uochran, president of the park board. W. A. Hansel, acting chief of construc tion; Harvey Hatcher, chairman of the council streets committee; Mr. Coch ran and Dan Carey, general manage, of parks, were called into the confer ence, the special object of which, it seems, was to bring about a better spirit of co-operation between the park and construction departments. The proposal for a bond ’ issue for streets already indicates a greater es trangement of the two. Friends of parks have been planning for a $2,000,- 000 bond issue for parks, and they say their bond issue should have first call over the new proposal. Haverty Urges Issue. Clarence Haverty, chairman of the special committee recommending the bond issue for streets, said today: "The committee believes it is time to have a big bond issue for much needed street improvements all over the city. If we wait to do this work for funds from the city’s normal revenue it wil) be years and years. We will urge to council that the people be allowed to vote on such a bond issue. If they vote it down they themselves take the responsibility for the slow progress for which council is criticised.” The other members present were Harvey Hatcher, A, D. Thomson, A. H. Van Dyke amd J. B. Everett. They urge that council request the state legisla ture for a charter amendment giving authority for a bond issue election. LEGISLATORS TO ACT ON PROTEST AGAINST MOVING LEE’S BODY A resolution protesting against the proposed removal of the body of Gen eral Henry Lee. father of Robert E. Lee, from Georgia to Virginia will be introduced during the present session of the Georgia legislature. Several months ago a resolution was Introduced and passed in the Virginia legislature which called for an appro priation of SSOO to defray the expenses of reptoving the body from Cumberland island, where the Revolutionary hero died, to the old Lee burial ground at Lexington, Va. The Georgia Daughters of the -American Revolution, at the state meeting at Marietta recently, pro tested against the proposed removal, claiming that since "Light Horse Har ry” had been buried so long on Georgia soil they thought it would be an act of desecration ty disturb the body. At the time of his death, in 1816, General Lee was on a visit to his life long friend. General Nathaniel Greene, at the Greene plantation av Dunge ness, Cumberland island. He had just returned from the West Indies, where , he had gone for his health, which had been failing for several years. After remaining with General Greene for sev eral months, he decided to return to his native state of Virginia, feeling much improved. Several days before his departure, however, he was sud denly stricken and every medical atten tion science placed within the reach of mankind at that time was afforded the general, but all proved of no avail and on the evening of March 25, 1816, he passed to his rest.

MOTHERS FACE PROBLEM “What can we do with our boys in vacation time? Running wild on the streets isn’t good for them, and they must be kept interested in something. Why doesn’t the city of some individ ual start a class and teach the boys how to use simple tools?" These were the questions Mrs. E. E. Smith, 20 St. Charles avenue, asked of The Georgian today, and she would like to have Some one answer them. Perhaps other mothers in Atlanta are equally interested in the problem. Per haps other mothers rtiight tell her, through The Georgian, how to keep the youngsters busy all summer. "Now, I have a son nine years old,” continued Mrs. Smith. "No, he isn’t a bad boy, just an everyday boy, liking to play and run about and, of course, getting into mischief just like other boys. You can’t keep a little fellow penned up in the yard all day, you know, and he isn’t big enough to work regularly, even if I wanted him to. Now, what’s the thing to do? Urges Manual Training Class.

Boys like *to make things, and they’d take a real interest in that work. After the class they could come home and build chicken coops and rough furniture and all such things, and they’d be far happier than if they were in the streets with bad compan ions. And it would help make them bettes citizens for the future, too. "If the city will not do it. perhaps some of the teachers at Georgia Tech might open a class, for they have all the equipment out there. I know many mothers who would be glad to pay reasonable sums for such instruction for their boys. "Certainly, you may put my sugges tion in The Georgian. Perhaps some body will work out the problem and organize such a class.” Now, that's Mrs. Smith’s problem. Perhaps other mothers who have read this have problems of their own in va cation time, and there may be mothers who have solved the puzzle of what to do with the children in summer. The Georgian will be glad to have a letter ftom all of them, and it may be that out of some woman's experiences oth ers may find their questions answered. FIANCEES BOAST WFSjmE Charles L. Sossoman, a former At lantan, is behind the bars in Detroit today, awaiting extradition to Florida, simply because his fiancee —a pretty young saleswoman in a Jacksonville department store —was unaware that she was being shadowed by a Pinker ton detective, and carelessly remarked to a girl friend; ’“Charlie's in Detroit —they'll never find him." The young woman’s lips curled in a smile of confidence and assurance. It was this smile and accompanying words which caused the downfall of her sweetheart, and possibly will inter rupt a marriage scheduled for August. No sooner had the words been said than a neatly dressed young strangef, who stood just across the counter med itatively puffing on a cigarette, turned, and walked slowly from the store. In a few minutes the Atlanta office of the Pinkerton detective agency had re ceived a wire from this same stranger jind the wires to Detroit soon were working. Today tht l Atlanta office re ceived a wire that Sossoman had been arrested—also that he will fight extra dition. Had a Marriage License. Sossoman, it is understood, already has a marriage license and had planned to marry his sweetheart in August. Ac cording to the information, The girl, whose home is in Canada, was to join her fiance in Detroit, where the mar riage would take place. From there the couple was to proceed to the bride’s home across the border, where the danger of arrest would be lessened. The Atlanta Pinkerton men had been after Sossoman for some time for an alleged swindle, but he had carefully eluded his pursuers. Learning the identity of the Jacksonville sweetheart, ttje sleuths laid siege there. The de tectives felt confident the girl inno cently would betray her fiance. Sossoman is wanted on the charge of forging a telegram and a draft on a Deland (Fla.) bank on May 30. He is said to have forged the name of a rela tive, Charles L. Lawson. In Detroit he was going under the name o’s Harry S. Ormond, of Atlanta. Requisbion apers have been made out and the prisoner will be taken to Florida for trial. Sossoman formerly was connected with an automobile concern in Atlanta.

Twenty-one bodies have been recovered. Os the thirty injured, some are badly hurt that they probably win The accident, which occurred when a passenger train collided with a her.v double-header freight near Wilp Pn , piled up debris in such a mountainous heap that wreckers were still unable to say whether any more dead bodies remained beneath it. A single passenger coach, crowded almost to the doors, mostly with :!-” e ones from Ligonier, who were n n an outing, was crushed like an eggshell be tween the two heavy engines of the freight train and another engine that was pushing the coach along. Not a single passenger on the ill-fated coach escaped death or injury. Wrecking crews from the Ligonier and Pennsylvania ra/lroads are work ing with feverish excitement at the de bris in search for dead or injured still pinned down by the wreck. Frantic Parents at Scene. Watching the wrecking crews and assisting all tljey can are frantic fa thers and mothers whose little ones were on the coach and have not yet been aeebunted for. A score or more physicians from here and Ligonier who rushed to the scene in automobiles when word of the wreck reached them are still here. They are giving atten tion to the injured recovered from the wreckage and sending them to hos pitals in Ligonier, Pittsburg and La trobe. The passenger coach and its 50 or more passengers left Ligonier late yes. terday afternoon bound up the branch road to Wilpen. The train attracted considerable attention from the happy actions of the merry children, who were being taken tip into the mountains to gather flowers and romp in the green woods. The coach, which was pushed along ahead of the engine at a fair rate of speed, was rounding a sharp curve near the Denny race track when the crash came. The heavy coal train, drawn by two big engines, met. the coach on the curve and crushed It like paper. Trainmen Killed. The first freight engine turned half way around and then fell over on its side. Frank McConnaughey. its engi neer, was caught beneath it as it fell and was scalded to death by escaping steam. George Byers, the fireman, jumped, but missed his footing and fell beneath the wheels of the tender., which crushed out his life. Engineer Smith P. Beatty, of the second freight engine, jumped When he saw the col lision impending and escaped with a broken leg, but his fireman, who also jumped, fell beneath the wheels of a car and had both legs cut off. The Wilpen branch of the Ligonier Valley railroad is an outlet for the mings of the Wilpen Coal Company. The road is used mostly for hauling the output of the coal mines, and the pas senger train, consisting of an engine and a 'combination coach and baggage ear. makes two trips a day over the ten mjles of railroad.
