HWRBYTHE TON
Over One Million Pounds Pur
chased Last Year. Owing to
Milliners' Fads.
PARIS, Aug 29.—1 n France during
the last seventeen years the importa
tion of hair has gone up by leaps and
bounds. In 1894 some 150,(100 pounds
weight of hair was imported. In 1899
the imports had more than doubled and
the crescendo continued until last year
Frame was importing over a million
pounds weight of hair, mainly from
China and Japan:
It is true that not all of this is fo'
, home consumption: a fourth is re
exported Still, the figures are formid-
I able. What does it mean? Is the
j Frenchwoman losing her crown of
glory? Nothing so serious as that. The
, I milliners, with the immense hats they
. dictate, are responsible. One might
almost suspect them of collusion with
the hal importers, for their pyramidal
confections require to be propped and
bolste'ed with curls innumerable if
thej are to keep their equilibrium. This
craze to: borrowed plumage has given
rise to a new trade. The e are men
who, working chiefly in the great shops, i
make a comfortable living by [ticking I
up and reselling the curls shed by I
; i eager bargain hunters-.

TEHCHERS
Education Board Has Plan for
High School University. Us
ing Old Stockade.
f
W. M. Slaton, superintendent of Al
ania'- public schools, announced t"
the board of education yesterday aft
ernoon thai Dan Cupid had again made
serious inroads on his tracking corps
and then proceeded to read a list of
resignations. But he did not explain
whether all. of them was quitting
school work for matrimony.
Follqw ing the suggestion of W. R
Daley, president, the board declared
itself in favor of a university plan for
the four city high schools. A resolu
tion was prepared to be piesented to
council Monday urging that the Boys
High school property, the Boys Tech
High s"hool prop< rty, the Girls High
school property and the English Com
mercial High school property be sold
and that the city stockade building and
sufficient land ajound it be donated
lo the school department foi the loca
tion of a city high school university.
Four new high school buildings are
needed badly. The city has prepared
to build an English commercial girls
high school on Washington street. The
city aisfF has purchased a let at the
corner of Fort and Gilmer streets for
a new stockade.
Board Seeks Prompt Action.
The plan of the board of education
will not interfere with any of the other
plans. SeAeral of the leading members
of council have already declared in fa-
VO of it. The board is simply crying
for prompt action. They declare that
the sale of the old properties will bring
in sufficient money to build the new
schools.
The hoard of education has re
established the Seegmiiler system of
drawing am! manual training as a part
of the curriculum of the public schools.
But the system is to be conducted in a
more simple manner than formerly
The report of the board's special
committee otr dratving was that this
system b? retained and that the selec
tion of the head of the drawing depart
ment bo referred to a special commit
tee. Mombcis of the board said that
I Miss Elizabeth Getz, the former direc-
I tor of the department, would not apply
i tor re-election. The report of the com- I
niitlee was adopted.
By the adoption of a resolution the
board declared that children whose
homes are not in Atlanta would not be
admitted to the public schools. A nuni
l>er of applications from children wins
want to live with relatives or friends in
Atlanta and attend the public schools
were turned down. But the board
adopted a resolution admitting the chil
dren of the employees of the Federal
prison to the. public schools, although
[ the prison is outside the citv limits.
The following new teachers yvere
i named by the board: .
For the Girls Night Schoo!--Mrs. Os
car Gamble and Miss Eva Motes.
Grade Teachers for the Grammar
Schools—Misses Ena C. Proctor. H. C.
Wilt. Josie Webb. Mildred Hardy. Lucy

Shriek Sends Shivers
Up and Down Marietta.
The" early morning quiet of Marietta
street was broken today by a sudden
s.irfek which pierced the atmosphere
, I from Five Points to the trolley build
ing broke up a cow auction in Forsyth
street and spoiled the gossip in the city
hall. It was followed by another, and
.then another, as though a woman were
I suffering all the torments of a June
bug down the back of her neck. Every
body dropped work and ran to the
street.
1 he shrieks came from a theater near
the Hive Points and the more they came
the worse they got. The fli'st ery of
anguish deepend into a long, elastic
wail, like a steamboat blowing for a
wood yard. This-was interrupted as
suddenly as though the fine Italian
: hand of the villain had closed upon
Tessie's windpipe. Horror-stricken, the
■ mob rushed wildly toward the scene.
. Then the shriek switched into an ear
splitting note such as a 60-horsepower
clarinet might produce," reached its
crescendo. Buttered a bit. and came
down like a Jap acrobat doing the slide
for life. The amazed listeners had
reached the door by this time. Some
hesitated, but a few hardy spirits went
boldly in.
The man was putting a new rinky
dink on the rag-time orchestrion in the
lobby. And "Everybody's Doin’ It” was
tiie only victim.

WHITES PERILED
BE DISEASES DE
SERVANTS
Expert Declares Filthy Negro
Homes Are Greatest Menace
to Public Health Here.
Analyzing health conditions In At
lanta today Dr. Claude A. Smith, city
bacteriologist, declared that one of the
greatest sources of contagious diseases
was the homes of negro servants. He
urged* stricter building and sanitary
laws.
"We hare ignored the home condi
tions of the negro." said Dr. Smith,
"when they are closer to us than the
members of our family. They do out
laundry, our cooking and nuise our
■children. But we close our eyes to
their health and living conditions
"Many of the negroes don't care how
they live. Many of their homes are
steeped in disease-breeding filth. The
well and personally clean ones associate
with tubercular and other contagious
disease infected negroes. We seem
ingly don't care if they live in holes in
the ground and we ignore their asso
ciates.
"One remedy is more strict building
and sanitary laws." he continuld. “The
present building code permits the erec
tion of almost any sort of a structure
in some sections of tiie city. But the
greatest need is to arouse even our
most intelligent people to their own
apathy regarding these conditions.
Fight Disease in Dark.
"Every person thinks that his serv
ants are all right. People laugh at any
suggestion for bettering these condi
tions as they did when campaigns were
first begun against flies and mosquitoe'
But until we give our negro population
more attention we are fighting disease
in the dark.”
Dr. Smith said that the campaign fo
better milk was showing better anil
better results. He said that a number
of cases had recently been made against
dairymen as a result of the bacteria
test and a g eat deal of milk that had
been shipped to the city had been con
demned for the same reason.
The city ordinance provides that all
milk sold in the city must be below 5.1
degrees in temperature to prevent
growth of bacteria. He said the ordi
nance ought to be changed making it
50 degrees. And he urged all con
sumers of milk to secure a thermome
ter and test the milk when it is deliv
ered to them.
Dr. Smith said that none of tiie milk
sold.tn Atlanta was Very bad. but that
yvhen the bacteria was not kept at a
minimum the milk was dangerous for
young babies. When theie is an excels
•of bacteria it has a general debilitating'"
effect on the babies and often pro
duces serious intestinal trouble.
