The semi-annual report of the free clinic of the Atlanta Anti-Tuberculosis society shows that white plague is in creasing rapidly in Atlanta Against 275 patients who received treatment during the six months prior to April. 1912. are 424 who received attention during the past six months. Following the trend of general sta tistics on tuberculosis female patients outnumber the males About 247 fe male patients were treated to 177 males, adults 329. children 95 Glassified according to occupation, housekeepers and school children lead the list. Ninety-seven housekeepers were given attention and 58 s< hoc! chil dren Mill employees follow, with 35, end factory employees with 28 Milli ners, teachers, telephone operators, teamstars, boilermakers and wood workers trail the list with two from each occupation 16 to 35 Dangerous Age. Strangely enough, persons between the ages of 1G and 35 appear to be most •rusceptible to the disease. Statistics Khow that 167 patients between these ege.a were treated against 127 under the «ge of 16. and 130 over the age of 35. Miss Lowe. secretary of the society, who compiled the statistics, wild that the preponderance trf women patients was dne to the fact that women are anoro amenable to treatment Many men. she said, were walking the streets with consumption and did not know it. “With larger quarters," she re marked, “we could handle more pa tient*, and we should do It. The great est trouble we experience Is In keeping track of patients after they have been given relief at the Rattle Hill sani tarium. The hospital Is always crowd ed and the city is forced to turn pa tients out as soon as temporary relief 1s effected For this reason we should keep track of the patient ami continu ally administer treatment " OFFICEHOLDERS REFUSE TO SERVE AS ELECTORS MONTGOMERY.

Sept. 25. —Babies and school children held the attention of the Congress of Hygiene and De mography in its session here today . A |>aper of absorbing interest, deal ing with infant mortality, was read by Edward Bunnell Phelps editor of The American Underwriter New York city The subject of medical inspection for public school children was taken up in most able form by Dr. Helen MtMur chy. of Toronto. Canada, and Dr Wil lard S Small, principal of the Eastern High school Washington, D C. Editor Phelps made the interesting statement that 55,000.000 babies are born into the world every year But, on the other hand. 15,000,000 of them die before they reach the age of one This means that about 40,000 babies die every day in the year, or on every other tick of the clock an Infant life goes out. To this terrible harvest of Infant lives the United States contrib utes 1.000 a day "There are the beat of reasons for be lieving." said Mr. Phelps, "that at least 60 per cent of the world’s infant mor tality is readily preventable, and the civilized countries are Just beginning to awake to that fact. Crusade Making Rapid Progress. “The present broad crusade for the reduction of infant mortality." added Mr Phelps, "dates back scarcely five years, and can now be regarded as lit tle more than a promise of the whole sale movement which Is to come Three International congresses for the discus sion of the subject have already been held in Europe, a permanent interna tional association with similar purposes has been organized, and all hold out groat promise In France. Belgium, Ger many Holland. Great Britain, the United States and other countries. The movement has made exceptional prog, ress lit Germany. "Mothers should suckle their children ns God intended," declared Dr. William 11. Davis vital statistician of th. health department of Boston, in the course of an address. "Os babies reaching the age of two weeks, said the doctor, "one In five dies before a year old If bottle fed while if breast fed only one In 3o fails ’o reach the one-year mark. This means that the death of these infants would be 60 per cent less than they are today If all babies were breast fed.” Dt Davis said the women of Norway and Sweden suckle their babies when ever possible, and for that reason those two countries have the lowest rale of infant mortality of any countlies In the world The hookworm was the chief topic discuss.al late yesterday. The ravages that this pest ha s m ule In Porto Rl, o and the effective campaign the i'nited States has mad. against it. was de scribed by D) Bailee K Ashford, man ager of the medical corps of the United States army at San Juan. Porto Rico, in an interesting address. Wiping Hookworm Out. Dr Ashford said the Porto Ricans had been exposed to the ravages of the hookworm for eenturiep. but since th. I'nited Slates government had taken hold of the island this strange peat had been practical).! eradicated. The physical condition of the Porto Ricans, said the doctor, is now 5(1 per cent better than when the government began its campaign against the hook worm about su\•» n years ago Sim e I'.HH over 300.0(H) victims of rhe hookworm have been treated hi Porto | Rico, and with complete success. There remains about Ilin.illHl more to be treat. ■ d. but these cases are not aggravated. Dr. Ashford took up the material benefit that has accrued to the Island of Porto Rico because of this highly successful campaign against the hook woim. He estimated that the com merce of the island bad Increased at least 400 per cent because of the en ergy and activity of the nativ. laborers after they had been relieved of the hookworm disuse. Talking on the subject of Signifi cance of Physiological Age in Educa tion," Dr. U. Ward Crampton, director of physical training in the New York public schools, delivered an impressive address to the congress Dr. Cramp ton held that physiological develop ment tat her than actual age should be the standard of classification in the case of school children. "From birth to maturity." he said, children develop at different rates some outstripping others in the race— !*. that we find at the age of fourteen about one third who ate already quite men and women, one-third In a transi tion period, and one-third quite Im matin. The difference between the 1 mature and the immature is so marked that it is astonishing." declared Dr Crompton, "that the idea of separat ing them for educational purposes has never occurred to our school authori ' ties The mature group at. from :’.u to 1 >0 pet < ent heavier. 30 to 50 p< r cent I stronger ami 111 to 13 p,T cent taller than the Immature group of the same Th> mental abllite-s show even .. ti ore striking difference the type of We;, <;1 me th inc- me itotious .a« Chamberlains Colic, Cholera and D arrhoca Rernedi th. world would be much bitt. )- off ..nd the pct een’.ige of suffering g ~itlv de. leased." writes l.imisa- S, dt. of Tempe.

The whole attitude toward life becomes attached to manly or womanly things, and the business of childhood is put behind. All these changes occur about the time the voice deepens, the second molar teeth arrive and other easily recog nizable signs of maturity appear. In short, of tho»e who are from twelve to fifteen in age some are young men and others are children. regardless of their ages In years or progress in school, "We find the same young men with their ripened potential abilities sitting on the same benches, taught the same lessons and subject to the same dis cipline as children, and the results are quite as poor as they could naturally be under these circumstances. The fundamental fact that the mature and immature are wholly different and should receive different educational and social treatment is disregarded. In the elementary school the mature do badly, in the high school frankly fitted to their needs they' do from 20 to 50 per cent better than the immature. While it Is at this point the educational sys tem on inflexible basis of scholasticism and chronological age breaks down, it suffers from a lady, of rational classi fication where mature and immature children are brought together in tile same class room.” HURT WANTS HEALY TO MAKE EVEN START IN SKY SCRAPER RACE That sky scraper race needs new rules and a handicap agreement. Joel Hurt, who has just broken ground for his new office building in Edgewood avenue, returned from New York to read In The Georgian that the race between the Hurt building and William Healy's long-awaited struct ure In Forsyth street was on and the starters luitl left the post. "That’s not fair." lie said today. “Mr. Healy has had a big start on me. He's been digging that hole three years, and the <-x< avatiop is one of the biggest parts of the job. But I'm going right ahead and maybe 1 can catch him." A committee of mutual friends, it is reported, will wait upon Mr. Healy and ask him to withdraw his army of engineers until Mi*. Hurt's excavation l» completed Then, with botli build ers at the scratch, the word may be given and tlie steel frames started up. POLICEMAN SHOOTS GEORGIAN. BIRMINGHAM, ALA..

Crushed by the wheels of an auto mobile, twelve-year-old Alice Overby, daughter of Mrs. W. G. Overby, 83 Au burn avenue, lies, died at the Davis- Fischer sanitarium in Linden street and the body is being held at Greenberg & Bond's*. Hesitating between the curbing and the street car track while autos bound homeward from the theaters whizzed about her at Peachtree and James streets last night at 11 o'clock, the child stepped directly into the path of an electric coupe driven by Miss Har riet Cole. Before the little machine could be halted both wheels passed squarely over the child's body, injuring her fatally. According to eyewitnesses, including Miss Graham, who was with Mrs. Over by and the girl, the trio started across Peachtree street, the child in the lead. Miss Graham stopped, she says, to let an electric filled with men and women pass. As the machine whizzed by she heard a short scream and found Alice prostrate on the pavement. Miss Cole, w ho was driving the coupe said that she stopped long enough to be. assured that the child was not badly hurt, and then drove home. The police today will make a case against her for reckless driving. The injured git! was first removed to the Grady hospital, but later was taken to the Davis-Fischer sanitarium CONTRACTOR ASKS FORi RETURN OF MONUMENT UNLESS IT IS PAID FOR MACON, GA., Sept. 25. F. C.
