DRAWS NEW'STAN LAWS
GIRLINCUPID'S LOTTERY
Three Hundred Cases of Rabies
Treated Already This Year
Presented as Argument.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
The State Board of Health will urge
upon the incoming Legislature, as
directly as it may, the great desir
ability of a dog-muzzling law \n
Georgia.
The board is realizing that it is
somewhat difficult to enact any sort
of legislation having to do with dogs
;n this Stale, and to make that leg
islation effective after it has been
enacted. Still, when the people are
made to understand, if they can be
made to understand, that an enforced
dog-rauzzling law would In three
years rid Georgia of all danger of
rabies, and that already this year
the .department has treated at the
capltol well over three hundred cases
of this dreadful disease, the board be-
lieves the Legislature may be brought
to see the very great desirability, if
not absolute necessity, of such a
law.
A dog-muzzling law will be of
fered in the Legislature, and it wid
be vigorously backed, not only by |
health boards and doctors throughout j
the State, but by several influential ;
members. The State Board of Health
feels that the mere muzzling of dogs, !
entailing some possible discomfort up
on them, as it may, still is infinite
ly' preferable to an ever-Increasins
Hat of patients to be treated for rab- !
ies.
Dog tax laws always have been I
unpopular in Georgia, and those that |
have been passed never have been en
forced. The dogs seems to have plenty I

KAISER EAGER TO
IH PEACE PRIZE
Is Restraining Austria So as to
Complete Twenty-five Years
of Warless Reign.
BERLIN. May 3.—The Kaiser is on
the laet stretch of the last lap in the
race for the coveted twenty-five years
reign of peace. Will he win the |ol
den Jubilee prize? No one knows, but
It is certain that he is restraining every
nerve to reach the wire before the
storm breaks, if it does break. The
F'oreign Office has wrapped itself in
a mantle of silence In regard to the
Austrian attitude toward Montenegro
and Servia, but the foregoing Is the
way a military officer sized up the
present situation.
Well-informed men express the
opinion that the Kaiser's hand has re
strained Austria and prevailed on
Vienna to wait before taking action
in the hope that something may de
velop which will avert what is feared
here, namely, the beginning of a war
into which Germany will be dragged
against her will and in which she has
no direct Interest.
While the national and imperial
newspapers urge Germany to support
Austria and applaud the decision of
the latter country to act, one gets the
impression In talking with officials
and financiers that Germany is still
looking for some solution of the
trouble other than the warlike one
proposed by Austria. A member of
the Kaiser’s entourage i«> quoted as
saying in conversation with n friend
that the Kaiser does not consider war
necessary under modern Ideus and
should be undertaken only as last re
sort.

Assembly, fairly and
A member-elect of the incoming
Legislature has prepared two com
panion bills for the General Assem
bly’s early consideration, both of
which are of far-reaching consequence
and assured of strong support.
One bill will provide for a cen
tral point of execution for orimb in
capital cases—probably at Milledge-
vilte—and the other will provide for
the substitution of the electric chair
for the gallows.
Both bills are thought to have ex
cellent chances of passing the next
Legislature.
Elaborate arrangements are under
way, looking to the sumptuous enter
tainment of Josephus Daniels, of
North Carolina. Secretary of the
Navy, when he visits Savannah on or
<bout May 10.
It is planned to give him a banquet
at the De Soto Hotel, to which a hun
dred or more prominent South Geor
gians will be invited. The Secretary
will be asked to deliver an address 'at |
this dinner, and to discuss particu
larly the navy and its possible rela- j
tlon to Savannah, and the coast cities .
of Georgia.
The Macon Telegraph should worry
and get a wrinkle, for this is the lat- I
est obsession it is entertaining:
"There is a duty of 45 cents a ga!- j
Ion on grape Juice under the Payne-
Aldrich law and it is retained in the
Underwood bill, but if it is to become j
a fashionable drink, it will have to j
go on the free list as a necessary of j
life."

of Lester P. Bryant, of New York
and Paris, to whom he was married
in the presence of a representative
gathering from the social and artistic
worlds. There will be no honeymoon j
until the fall, when they plan to go I
j abroad.
It was about a dozen years ago that
the “Stanlaws Girl” first made her j
appearance. Adamson at that time I
was an undergraduate of Princeton !
and one of the editors of the univer- j
sity’s monthly periodical. His work
attracted widespread attention and
his services were in great demand.
HJs smiling faces beamed from the
pages of books and the covers of
magazines. Rapidly his fame spread
•over sea and he went abroad. He
stuck to his own distinctive type of
American girl and was as successful
abroad as here. In Paris he studied
at the Julian Academy and under
Benjamin Constant and Jean Paul
Laurens. In addition to his illustra
tion work he has done some portrait
painting and has been very success
ful in this field als«o.
The “Stanlaws Girl” is known the
world over for her beauty and has 1
been pronounced by many artists as I
the ideal portrayal of the true Amer- !
iean girl. The above is a bevy of!

i Atlanta children will spread over
Grant Park like bees over a flower,
searching for 200,000 candy eggs in
the weeds and grass. For to-day Is
the day of the annual Easter egg
hunt of the Atlanta Park Board, an
event children have been looking for
ward *jto for months.
All morning 15 or 20 men have
worked, scattering the vast number
of eggs, and as the children line up
on the boundary lines and impatiently
await the signal. Grant Park looks
like an old-fashioned “crazy quilt.”
Red egg lies side by side with blue
egg, and yellow egg nestles against
white in a riotuous maze of color. No
attempt was made to hide the 200,000
eggs the children will try to find.
They were simply sown over the
ground from large baskets, and even
that work kept the 20 men busy all
day.
The 41 prize eggs, however, were
really hidden. Forty of these prize
eggs are made of wood and bear num
bers. When presented at the pavilion
the child lucky finder will be given
a prize bearing a corresponding num
ber.
The grand prize is “golden egg."
This egg is made of brass, and Inside
of It Is an order for a five dollar
gold piece.
To prevent a repetition of accidents
that marred the hunt last year, all
vehicles will be excluded from the
park from 12 o’clock until the egg
hunt is over. All children who get
lost from their parents will report at j
the concrete pavilion.
The committee in charge of the egg |
hunt comprises W. (\ Puckett, T. L.

How Motion Signs
Are Now Designed
“The electric sign is only in its
Infancy,” said a well-known electri
cian yesterday. ”T was in New York
last week and made It a point to see
all the big electrical signs that 1
could. I met the Junior member of •
an electrical sign construction com
pany and while we were walking up
Broadway after the theater he called
my attention to one of the blazing
displays in which a horse appears on
a gallop
“ ‘Has It ever occurred to you,’ said
he, ‘how detailed must be the work
of the sign builder to represent the
movements of living beings In bulbs,
and make them artistically realis
tic? We have to go far afield -some
times to obtain the lifelike effect
That horse, for example, plants his
hoofs Just as In real life—otherwise
that sign would be an animated car
toon Now. to get the individual <>r
disjointed movements of the legs in
their order of sequence the builder-
minded that the eye of the camera Is
keener than man’s, procured the mo
tion picture film of a galloping horse
and, examining each snapshot, drew
his plans In duplicate. Plashing his
bulbs on and off with the same speed
employed by a movie operator, the
designer has produced the effect of
smooth and continuous motion.’ ”
