NO POWER FLINT
WITH CREMATORY
Destructor Company Agrees on
Contract With Electricity
Clause Eliminated.
Mayor Winn and the finance commit
tee of the council and representatives
of-the New York Destructor Company
have agreed upon the terms of the con
tract for a garbage disposal plant, buT
all chance of an electric power plant in
conjunction with it had gone glimmer
ing.
As some of the couneilmen only voted
to accept the company’s bid for a cre
mator} plant because it also provided
for an electric power plant, strong op
position to the agreement is certain to
develop in the council.
"If we can’t have an electric plant,
why should we pay $276,000 for a gar
bage disposal plant?" Councilmen
Charles W. Smith. Orville H. Hall, Ai
dermen John E. McClelland and A. J
Johnson and others have declared. "We
should build a cheaper garbage plant."
Company to give $376,000 Bond.
The agreement was reached last
night, and, if it is approved by the
council Monday, the Destructor Com
pa’ny will sign up and begin work.
The company will give a bond for $376.-
000, covering the bid for an electric
power plant to be operated by the heat
from the burning garbage. If the city’
has the money to pay for this $102,000
electric plant or can finance the deal,
the company’s bond provides that it
shall be built any time within the three
years. .
Rut the Destructor Company was un
able to finance the $376,000 proposition,
and its representatives failed to get it
underwritten so long as it included the
electric power plant feature. The city
is able to pay only $50,000 cash.
The agreement to be recommended to
the council is that the company shall
retain the title to the plant until it is
paid for. and that the city shall have
charge of its operation under the su
pervision of the company.
Demands Title to Property,
The company demanded the title to
the property, rejecting the city's moral
obligation for the deferred payments,
which it agreed to accept when the
contract w as aw arded by council’more
than a month ago. But the company
refused to sign the contract after it had
been awarded by the council.
The other officials voting for the
proposition were Aidermen Spratling.
Nutting. Ragsdale and Warren and
»’ •um ilmen Greer and Knight.
Mayor Winn declared that this city
.ry of the people for better streets
would be as a gentle zephyr compared
io the complaints that would develop if
sonle system of garbage disposal were
not adopted.

Piedmont Lake Sprite Is Challenged
WATER QUEEN HAS RIVAL
Piedmont park boasts another little
ten-year-old girl who is some swimmer
herself, and who has challenged Jen
nie Perkerson for a swimming contest
of any length, time or condition. She
is Virginia Merker. daughter of R 1..
Merker, of 29 Langhorn street, and out
at Piedmont lake she came today in
quiring for "that Jennie Perkerson. the
one the papers wrote up so."
Jennie was not present, and her ri
val swam a 2n-yard race against time.
She made it in 39 seconds, according
to one of the lifesavers, and that's jus'
a second faster than the record that
Jennie holds. Then little Virginia went
out and did a mile as easily as if she
was born lo the water. She wanted to
show that she was really in earnest and
really could swim.
At the swimming contests held on
July 4. Jennie Perkerson. who is only
ten years old. won the "woman's cham
pionship" in every contest she entered
and proved herself the marvel of the
lake. Since then she has been the cen
ter of a throng of admirers whenevet
she has come into the lake, and that's
every day.
Rivals to Race Next Week.
A race between the present holder of
the title and little Virginia is scheduled
for one day next w eek, the distance and
manner of swimming to be settled later.
That the contest will be an exciting
one there can be no doubt. Both little
girls are as deadly in earnest as if their
lives depended upon the result of the
race.
A theatrical star suddenly finding
herself no longer the toast of the town
and the pampered of all the company,
her place about to be given to an un
derstudy. could be in no more of a
rage of jealousv than is little Miss p. r
kerson wheneve Virginia's name is
mentioned to her.
Jennie arrived at the lake a few min
utes after Virginia swam Iter mile, and
just at the time when about 200 spec
tators were crowding around ami con
gratulating her.
'Who's that?" said Jennie. "Can that

ney,
child swim, that little girl?"
Some one told Jennie of what the
other girl had done, and Jennie rushed
out and challenged her at once to a
contest, dared her to enter the water
in competition. Captain Schlomberg
and several of the lifesavers interfered.
Little Virginia had been In the water
for several hours in' all and had just
finished a mile swim. The race must
come another day.
Jennie Wants No Delay.
But Jennie could not listen to talk
like that. “You’re just afraid to race
me!" she shouted in childish rage at
her rival.
Then for a moment things took on
the look of the Republican convention
in the heights of its turmoil.
"I’ll pull your hair out!" screamed
the titleholder.
Tiny Virginia Merker has lived in
Atlanta about three years. She has
been in swimming about three times in
those three years. Four years ago in
Beverly. 111., she learned to swim. Only
six years old at that time, she proved
better than all the other children in a
swimming schoAl organized in her
town. She has not forgotten what she
learned and as she Is as strong and
healthy a child as one can imagine,
she had no trouble in getting right into
swimming form. Her swimming stroke
is said to be prettier than that of Jen
nie’s, and she has plenty of what, ex
perts call "swimming form." She was
taught by an expert, while the Perker
son child practically taught herself.
Out at Piedmont nearly everx one
of the attendants and the crowd of sev
eral hundred people who go in daily
are thoroughly excited over the out
come of the contest. w
How long the first race will be has
not yet been decided. Both the chil
dren are fast swimmers and both are
remarkable for their endurance, and It
is probable that several races for the
various lengths will be pulled off from
time to time.

SICK FOLKS AND SUCCESS
BI TNDOUBTEDLY the success of
this office-and it IS a success—
has been due to the fact that the
keynote has been to give honest,
conscientious service.
We have aimed to think of the
patients’ needs first of all, aimed to
give a little more than we promised
to give and have never promised
what could not be made good.
These standards backed up by
the very best of laboratory methods
make our methods and equipment
superior, I believe, to anything in
the South.

GEORGIA SCHOOL
OF TECHNOLOGY
== Its Aims and Standards ==
fj| The aim of the college is to make men. Not
evppv college succeeds, .judging them strictly by
their output. A college graduate should be useful.
He should, of course, be self-sustaining and in
fluential in his community; in fact, PROGRES
SIVE. If the college man does not make good, it is
partly his own fault. \ ERY OFTEN THAT OF
THE INSTITUTION THAT GRADUATED HIM.
(J It is a well known fact that Tech graduates
succeed. 'There are one or two good reasons for
this. 'The instruction at 'Toeli is very thorough. It
is said by those who know that a student can t slip
through T ech and get a diploma. He must be thor
ough. HE M IST KNOW WHAT HE KNOWS.
Then, too, the course of study at Tech is exceed
ingly practical. 'There a man's hand is trained
along with his brain. From the handling’ of pig
iron in the foundry on up to the delicate work of
the laboratory, the Terh man must daily apply his
theories. He must learn to do things. Only this
kind of eduration counts nowadays.
“Thej’e is no reason.’’ said a leading teacher
of the state recently, “why every Georgia boy who
wishes a technical training should not got to Geor
gia Tech, since each county is entitled to fifteen free
scholarships. In addition to these, there are sev;
oral scholarships which carry a rash consideration
of from $125.00 to $200.0(1 annually, open to young
men of merit and ability”
