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. The Augusta Chronicle notes that “a new Methodist hymn has been named Theodore!” Isn’t Theodore already* the best known him in this country? Former Speaker John > r Holder is an Atlanta visitor. Mr. Holder says he is entirely out of politics nowa days, and rather enjoys being a mem ber of the wclI-Uriown "lame du£k' contingent.

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.

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 which the body was when it arrived 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.

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.. will exemplify the will be Mrs. Lillia 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.
