A study of the measurements dem onstrates that this child Is virtually tee average weight for a one-year-old baby -21 pounds. In height it is about two Inches above the average. Its chest measurement is one-lifth of an inch more than the average child. Accord ing to the famous authority on babies, Dr. Emmett Holt. th< average one year-old baby is 21 pounds in weight, 29 inches in height and has a chest measurement of IS inches and a head circumference of IS Inches.

The newspapers along the way of the Georgia road are a practical unit in favor of such a law —fairly d r a w n, equitable in its provisions, and capable of en forcement with a minimum of friction —as was to have been expected, per haps; but over and beyond the terri tory directly touched by the strike, there is a general disposition to ask for such a law, and to wonder why. in deed. the absolute desirability of the same lias not heretofore been practi cally realized. The Savannah News, commenting upon this matter, says: Why could not the parties have submitted to arbitration at first, instead of tying up the system and being the cause of so much incon venience and money loss? The public is entitled to a big enough consideration in the controversy be tween capital and labor to have its business atjd property protected and safeguarded by those who hail been intrusted with the work of trans portation for them. The general public, which surely is an innocent party to controversies of the kind considered by The News, is, in reality, the greatest, sufferer by strides that result in tie-ups. There ought to be some way. so mans of the state pa pers think, whereby the public might b protected while disputes between capi tal and labor are being adjusted—and the sum total of opinion seems to be that a compulsory arbitration law would solve the problem. Such a law will not be placed upon the statute books, of course, without difficultv But such a law—an honest, just law—can be passed; and it may MAN WHO SWALLOWED 8 PINS LEAVES HOSPITAL ST.

Dan Byars, who opposed unsuccess fully Sheriff Dunahoo, of Floyd, in his last campaign for re-election, has been taken into the sheriff’s office as a dep uty, to 1111 a recent vacancy. This closes a remarkable political rivalry— and furnishes an acceptable ending to a lather pretty story. Byars and Dunahoo served together In tiie sheriff’s office for years. Two years ago, however, they parted com pany, and both ran for the job—which is a good one. The race between these old friends was warm enough, lor both are verj' popular, ami Dunahoo won It bj a very narrow and squeaky margin. Friends of both men have predicted that tile war would be fought all over' again in 1914 —-but not long ago the two old friends made up, and now Byars is back in the office, everything is pret ty. ami there will bo no scrap two years hence.

The Coosa river, of which Lee lias been telling congress ever since he first became a member of the house, means much to Rome and northwest Georgia, once it is opened to tiie Gulf—partic ulaily after the Panama canal is com pleted.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—1 s thers liny reader who is not in possession of $34.34? If there is, then there is something wrong somewhere, for that is the indi vidual proportion of every man, woman and child in the United States, of the $3,284,500,000 now in circulation, ac cording to the report of tiie comptroller of the currency. Lawrence O. Murray, Just submitted to congress. All those who have been fortunate enough to get their share out of the cir culating medium are 14 cents richer than they were last year and one cent better off than in 1910, x> hich is at least the price of an evening paper. The comptroller’s report is the usual fat volume, consisting chiefly of fig ures. But, at that, some of these fig ures are quite interesting, especially for tiie banks. The comptroller Informs us that the volunm of business in this country has increased over last year to the extent of millions of dollars. Clearing Business Greater. The transactions of the 151 clearing houses, for the current year ending October 31, aggregated $168,506,365,000. ' This is an increase of $8,998,357,000 over last year. There xvere 26 clearing house asaocia tijms which reported losses. < in the other hand, there were fifteen associations whose clearings exceeded tiie billion-dollar mark. These were New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadel phia, St. Louts, Pittsburg, San Fran cisco, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Kansas < Ity, Mo., .Minneapolis, Cleveland, Nc'.v Orleans, Detroit and Los Angeles. Ihe New York clearings last; year totaled $95,672,301,000. This was an in crease over last year of a little more than $4,000,000,000. The repo t also states that the ex ports from this country last year amounted to $1,870,000,000. While the. imports wore $1,511,000,000, leaving a balance in favor of the United States of’ $359,000,000. The pm capita estimate is made on tile basis Os a national population of 95,656,000. Number of Banks Increases. Tue comptroller’s feport is on 25,195 banks, 803 more than last year. The total resources of these banks are $24,- 986.642,774.18. This is a gain of $5,403.- 232,381 since 1908, or an increase of a little more than 27 per cent In the past four years. These flguies.” says the report, “in dicate an unprecedented growth in bank resources during the past four years, and far exceeds that for any like period in the country history. The nearest approach to this increase is shown in the statistics for June 30, 1904, when the aggregate resources of all reporting banl?s were about $4,413.- 000,000 greater than the amount re ported In 1900. ( "Individual deposits tn the banks dur ing tin- last four years increased from •$12,784,511,169 to $17,024,067,606, the increase being $4,239,556,437, or over 33 per cent." she figures in the report relating to the postal savings banks, indicate the rapid growth of those institutions. I here are now 300,000 depositors in tl:e postal savings banks, with a, total de posit of $28,000,000. •>n January 1, 1912, there were 1,149 school savings banks in the United States, with 167,529 depostiors, all f whom were school children. At ono time there was over $3,000,000 on de posit in these banks, but on the first of this year tiie aggregate deposit on!..' amounted to $908,480.47. But then tiie holidays were just over and the chil dren had withdrawn their savings •> buy presents. In regard to the smallef sized bank notes, tiie report makes tile following interesting statement: About Smaller Bank Notes. "The secretary of the treasury h:..; approved a plan for systematizing th > designs of the United States nates, coins, certificates mid national bank notes. It is the purpose to make tli.x notes more artistic and at the same time to give them added security in the circumvention of counterfeiting. Th > number <u designs will be reduced from 19 to 9 The charge determined upon will reduce the number of plates nece»- sa; y to print national bank notes f onx 1,200 to 200. thus effecting an economy, not only in the printing of the notes, but a saving to the banks interested “The reduction in size of the not'4 will enable the storage capacity of the, department and bank vaults to be in creased about 25 per cent, and it is be lieved tli,it with the reduction in size, the folding of notes, to a certain ex tent xx ill be obviated, resulting in tliei’’ greater longevity. “Tiie length of time required to off set the changes in designs and size <-f notes is stated at about eighteen months.” i dows wide relief follows quickly.
