The Girls High school took SBO worth of the seals. Or 8,000 of them, and prom ised to come for more—at least up to SIOO. There are 48 white schools in Atlanta and 11 negro.

Some of the other schools, which took them In smaller quantities, already have sent in orders of 2.500 more, tindlng they could do better than they first thought. It begins to look as it the schools might succeed in getting at least half the total fund, or $2,500, for open-air school work in Atlanta. Mrs. I’. G. Hodgson, chairman of the Atlanta committee, has asked for more volunteers for the Red Gross seal work.

' ant you git up about as much as $5 for me around the capitil? Respct., McDonough, Ga.. Dec. 10 The governor said it made him feel pretty bad to think that somewhere this correspondent's Atlanta sweetheart is pining for the coining of her swain— or words to that effect—and he ap proves of this sort of holiday petition more than he approves of petitions for "Christmas gift” pardons. He admits, however, that a portion of the romantic impression first made by the letter was swept away in part by the final declara tion that his correspondent, after ail, is looking for "a housekeeper” rather than a true love and partner in billing and cooing. Jesse Perry, the -overnor’s private secretary, thinks this correspondent should be sent the money wherewith to get his "Usance,” and that these Christ mas "sweet bells jangled out of tune” should be brought immediately into perfect holiday harmony.

DEUCE REPLACES TREY IN TRIAL OF CHINESE SEATTLE, WASH., Dec. 11.—The substitution of a deuce of hearts for the trey of hearts in the trial of See Sing, accused of selling opium, led Po lice Justice Fred C. Brown to take ju dicial notice that the court had been "cold-decked” and ask the prosecuting attorney to investigate the disappear ance of evidence. The trey of hearts, containing on its back*opium alleged to have been sold by See Sing to Aw Baron, was sent by the court to the city chemist for analy sis. The chemist reported it was not opium, handing the card back to the judge, who turned it over, to find that one of the spots was missing. The chemist then remembered that he had been visited by the attorney for the defense while the card was in his possession.
