Physicians Complain Its Endeav
or Is Confined to Labora
tory Work.
By JAMES B. NF.VIN.
The physicians of Georgia arc anx
ious to see some legislation effected
jr the next general assembly that
will amplify and extend the work of
the Statw Board of Health.
Physicians complain, and many
think justly so, that the present en
deavor of the State Board of Health
is too cramped, and extends to little
If anything more than laboratory
work. It is hampered, too, of course,
by skimpy appropriations, although
the Legislature, as a rule, inclines
to do the best it can fo\ the depart
ment.
Certainly, the Board of Health can
do much to carry forward the educa
tion of the masses as to the vital
necessities of sanitation, thereby
avoiding many epidemics and conta
gious diseases, and to the State’s
great advantage. If the incoming Leg
islature will help it a little more ex
tensively than heretofore it has been
helped a complete and intelligent sys
tem of birth and death registrations
might be installed
As amatter of fact. iuLLb Sblil* f
and also helpful medical legislation
might be effected in Georgia were
the physicians a little bit better pol
iticians and not quite so sternly eth
ical in their efforts to get what they
wish.
Men of the right tliiliking sort are
perfectly able to understand why
physicians should seek to maintain
high ideals of ethics, but whenever
they undertake to write their pro
fessional code too evidently and too
plainly into the statute books, al
most invariably they fall down.
Their ethical program frequently
;« admittedly magnificent, but too
often it is not legislative war
Nevertheless, the high stand the
physicians have taken for an efficient
.arid practical State Board of Health
generally is approved throughout
Georgia, and it now seems more than
pi obable that the incoming general
assembly may be depended upon to
give their ideas effect by enacting
ti em, or at least, some of them, into
laws.
The doctors have started off right
this time, anyway:
Judge Fite hasrefused to grant an
injunction asked by Leon formally
and others against the school trus
tees of Trenton. Dade County, thus
bringing up an interesting point in
connection with the State’s local tax
school act, which specifies that local
taxation must g«n a .
Joi'Uy...to bepoipe^effective. n\ a dis
trict. 1
The Trenton district three years ago
adopted local taxation and built and
equipped a modern school. The act
states that similar elections may be
held every three years, and in the
election held there recently, local
tax advocates polled 60 votes, with 34
against the tax. The ordinary de
clared local tax had carried, and
when the anti-tax men filed an in
junction. Judge Fite refused it by the
following order:
“The meaning of section 1536 of
the code, under which the election
was held, is to me ambiguous and
uncertain if constitutional (Section
6579 of the code;, and I do not be-
'licve that the Legislature intended
to authorize a Email minority to"
override a large majority and repeal
a law enacted by a two-thirds ma
jority. i therefore refuse the in
junction.”
Judge Fite holds that while a two-
thirds majority is required for a dis
trict to pass the local tax law, lie
doesn’t believe ,i minority can repeal
the law, once it is established.
The question, which is of interest
ail over Georgia, will be carried to
.the higher court for an opinion.
"The right of Governor Brown to
a il the Legislature in extraordinary
session, for the purpose of perfect
ing Senator Bat on's title to a. seat
in the Senate, is unquestioned ,1
think.” said a well-known Atlanta
lawyer to-day, “and I do not know
but that it is the best way to do it,
too.
“The popular elections amendment
to the Federal Constitution is not
yet in effect, and the Legislature
very quickly could declare BacoKj" a
Senator, in the old-fashioned way.
There is no opposition to him—he is
clearly the Democratic nominee.
“The only objection to calling the
Legislature in special session would
be the expense of it—about $15,000.
But it will cost more than that to
hold a special election for him, and
llie legislative way would be much
the quicker.”
A South Georgia editor rejoices and
waxes exceeding glad in the knowl
edge that an iniquitous tariff tax
Lb been lifted from grindstones, and
opines that soon he will be able to
get himself a new grindstone, at ten
or fifteen cents below the present
market price!
'Politic:: are bad enough,” says the
Kert Valley Leader, truthfully and
emphatically, if ungrammatically. r
53till, politics may boast one vir
tu*' in Georgia nowadays—it’s .rath-
**r quiet.
Governor-elect.: and Mrs. Slaton,
who were expected home last week,
after a pleasant visit in New York
extended their visit to the end of
this week, and will return to Georgia
to-morrow.
This will be Mr. Slaton's last vaca
tion before taking the oath as Chief
Executive of the State in Ji/ly.

KNOXVILLE. TENN., April 18.—
Miss Annette Holme Dudley, the
Southern Girl, whose mania for petty
thefts is puzzling New York brain
specialists, and .whose strange malady
has attracted the sympathetic Interest
of Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, Sr., came
to Knoxville last year from Wylam,
Ala., in the coal district near Bir
mingham. She’entered the University
of Tennessee to take the English
course, with a view to equipping her
self for newspaper work. While at
tin- university, she sought employ
ment on !ooa] newspapers, indicating
that it was her..purpose to make jour
nalism her life work.
Miss Dudley was a girl of few
friends, it appears. Soon after tier
advent at the university she was re
garded with suspicion. It is charged
that she took a watch belonging to
another girl and hid it in a closet.
This alleged incident came to the at
tention of officials of the university.
Subsequently she left school and re
turned to her home in Alabama.
It is claimed by a student that she
made purchases of merchandise at a
local store and later disputed the ac
count and legal procedure was
threatened before the claim was paid.

- The guard will be maintained for

There is little fear, however, as
extreme precautions were taken ut
the burial. Pines were placed in the
grave and then the triple coffin in

in this country was placed in a pine
box and lowered. Around it and over
it cement was poured. On top of this
great -slabs of slate were fitted and
over them another mass of cement.
The earth was piled in on top.

Italian To Test New
Mastless Wireless
Hopes to Communicate With Ameri

PARIS, April 18. By means of the
invention of an Italian engiueer, Gai-

it will be possible tg communicate
by wireless from Cha.rti.bWry, in th*
southeast of France, to New York.
A wireless station has'bWen erected
on a high cliff in the village of Lcs-
chauz, near Chanibery.
Dispensing with antennae. Galetti
lias set up two posts eight meters
(about 36 feet 3 inches) high. These
are connected by a wire from which
a series of other wires 900 meters
long (about 3,952 feet) converge to
the operator’s cabin at the foot of the
cliff. Galetti obtained authority to
tqgt his system from the French Post
Office Department, which, working in
I co-operation' with Italy and th’e
United States, expects eventually to
exploit the Lesehauz station for the
purposes of direct communication
with New YorJ?. Galetti expresses
satisfaction with :he preliminary
trials.

is there an “idea! man suffragist''
in Georgia?
If so, let him come forth arid de
clare himself, or. if modesty pre
vents, let some one else do it for
him.
The pageant commitue of tie* pa
rade and tableaux to be given by the
woman suffragists of the United
States in New York City, May 2, is
looking for fifty men who can qualify
as “ideal masculine .suffragists.”
Qualification* r the “ideal man,”
as spe'-itad by l a suffrage commit
tee, include:
A NOBLE BROW.
BROAD SHOULDERS.
FULL CHEST.
ERECT CARRIAGE.
MUST EE MORE THAN 6 FEET
IN HEIGHT.
MUST BE A BELIEVER IN
“VOTES FOR WOMEN.”
The number to be selected—fifty
—gives at least one man from each
State a chance, but .thus far none
has been suggested in Georgia, which
ranks third in population. There are
about 509,000 men in Illinois, of which
40,000 are in Chicago. Perhaps out
of that number may be found one
who will meet the requirements.
William J. Schieft’lin. of New York,
has been selected to head the band
of "ideal men”. Beatrice Forbes-
Roberta on-Hale will lead the mount
ed division of men suffragists not in
cluded in the 'ideal band.”
A type of feminine beauty to set
a new standard of American woman
hood, as exemplified by the equal sul-
frage movement in this. country, is
the chief aim of the parade and
tableaux. Qualifications for this
“ideal” type of womanhood Include:
THE INTELLECTUALLY BEAU
TIFUL.
THE PHYSICALLY SPLENDID.
RADIANT WITH PERFECT
HEALTH.
TALL.
WILLOWY.
GRACEFUL.
Examples of feminine loveliness are
being sought throughout the United
States for the parade, to dispel the
idea that the modern-day suffragists
are of the plaster-haired “down-with-
the-men” variety.
Among, the 200 ...u..

ing for herself a special place among
the costumers of the world.
Dainty frocks for debutantes were
distinguished by quaint titles. “My
Best Girl” was a delicate blue, tus
sore calling dress; “Maiden’s Blush”
was a dance dress in rose-petal satin;
“Hitchy Koo” was a pale blue serge
coat and skirt; “First Kiss” was u
calling suit in pink charmeuse; while
“Cutest Little Thing” was a del
icate mauve pink crepe tussore dress,
with ivory lace.
Every evening corsage was slight
and diaphanous. Most were of chif
fon with embroidered edges and ki
mono sleeves. A success was achieved
by the “Eldorado,” a white satin din
ner gown with a high black velvet
belt, from which long wide streamers,
depended to form the train. An
original ball dress named "L’Heure
Supreme” was made with folded
draperies of hydrangea blue chiffon
from the waist, with glimpses of
blue arid green satin. This gown
eclipsed the delicate radiance of
“Aphrodite,” a bright rose charmeuse
dance frock with a wide scarf to
match.
Altogether nearly 100 dresses for
the 1913 season were shown. They
make it clear that draperies narrow
at the feet and ample at the hips,
with the waist in the natural position,
but high in front and slightly ove~
hung by the bodice at the back, and
the belted coat and Y-shaped opening
at the throat will characterize the
fashions of to-morrow.
