Some Perceive Such Step in At
tempt to Move Experiment
Station From Griffin,
BY JAMES B. NEVIN.
Some see in the proposed closing
of the poultry department at the
Experiment Station a step in the di
rection of removing the entire Agri
cultural Experiment Station from
Griffin to Athens.
There is considerable complaint
manifested that the poultry depart
ment at the Experiment Station
should be closed. It is not a highh
spectacular department of the State
to be sure, but* it has been most
helpful and beneficial to a large num
ber of people. And these people fee!
aggrieved that it should have been
set aside for slaughter, when there
are other things that might be spar
ed, and with less loss to the State.
The point that is interesting in a
statewide way. however, is whether
the Agricultural Station shall be
moved from Griffin, where it was es
tablished in good faitli several years
ago, upon conditions cheerfully com
plied with by Grifiin.
The suspicion that there already is
a quiet movement on to take the
station away from Griffin and locate
it at Athens is one that will not down
in Georgia—and if the movement is
on, it is foolish to suppose that it
may be carried through without a
mighty protest.
Griffin is not going to see the Ex
periment Station moved to Athens,
if vehement and indignant opposition
can prevent it. And in this situa
tion. it may be accepted as a sure
thing right now. a large and influen
tial section of the incoming Legisla
ture will sympathize with Griflin. One
can hear it talked in the hotel lob
bies around Atlanta.
Coupled with it. moreover. one
hears much more or less unpleasant
talk of too much politics, of one sort
end another, along with the general
comment. The disposition is to
think that the Experiment Station is
i thing that should be kept free ot
it) suspicion of politics—and the de
velopment of the removal question
likely will bring about the kicking off
of more than one lid in the next
General Assembly.
At least, that is the line of talk
one hears from the lips of not a few
statesmen, who pass through the
capital nowadays.
The Georgia Prison Commission,
after having occupied for years about
the dingiest quarters in the State
capital, is about to move into about
the airiest and neatest.
Col. Pierce Latimer, Keeper of Pub-
lit Buildings, has been hard at work
with painters, plasterers, and decora
tors-, for mdny days on these rooms,
and he has worked, a wonderful
transformation in them. From being
the most uninviting he has made
them all that an official could ask.
Under Mr. Latimer's direction the
capital has been redecorated and
otherwise improved handsomely with
in the last few months.
Who is to be speaker pro tern of
the next House of Representatives
in ^ Georgia?
Thus far, there seem to be no
announced candidates for this gener
ally much desired plum. and the
meeting of the Legislature is only
some six weeks away.
Adams, of Kail, has been mention
ed for this honor. has been Che
ney. of Cobb, and yet neither has
made any effort to land the place.
Both are able men. and either
would make a fine presiding officer
pro tern.
John M. Slaton will be inaugurat
ed Governor, probably on June 30.
The Legislature assembles on June
15.
The' ceremonies incident to the in
auguration will be simple, and will
be conducted in the hall Of the
House of Representatives. Governor
Slaton merely will be given the oath
of office, receive the great seal of
Slate from the hands of the retir
ing Governor, accept the congratu
lations and best wishes of the Gen
eral Assembly in .joint session, and
then retire to the Executive Office to
begin his term of service.
Not many years back, inaugura
tions of the Governors used to be
more or less gala, occasions. Gov
ernor Atkinson was inaugurated with
great military, display, and deliver
ed an inaugural address quite after
the Presidential style. 1 Governor
Hoke Smith was the last Executive
to mark his induction into office
with much pomp. Since his first
inauguration, however, the simpler
method has prevailed.
Now and then some rampant pa
triot hankers for the old order of
things—but there seems to be noth
ing of the kind in sight now.
An Irate reader, miffed at some
thing he read recently in this column
of uplift, writes the party responsi
ble for the same that said party re
minds the writer of “a combination
of Tom Watson. Tom Hardwick,
Hoke Smith, and James K. Varda
nian.”

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.WEDNESDAY. MAY 7, 191T
PROUDEST AS A
GREAT GRANNY
‘“The Eternal Sarah” Looks
Young as Ever and Appears to
Be in Perfect Health.
By VIOLA RODGERS.
XBIV YORK, May 7.—“All., the
greatest thing a woman can do for
herself and for the world is to be a
mother.! No Joy. no glory is so great;
nothing so productive of genuine hap
piness an that sweet thing a mother
can look upon for the first time—
the little pink and white bundle held
in t lie nurse’s arms—her babv!”
It was the Bernhardt—the wonder
ful Sarah Bernhardt—who spoke, and
with all the abandon of words and
gestures and expression that only tin;
gifted woman can command.
’And think,” she continued, “how
much greater is her happiness to ex
perience with the same fresh sweet
ness and hope and expectation fh»*
coming of a grandchild and a great
grandchild, as I have done. An, ii
is too beautiful. The thing which
shall keep me young arid give a glow
to my life is the nope of becoming
a great-great-grandmother. I shall
live. 1 Mope, to have that joy.”
Mme. Bernhardt will remain hero
for three weeks and then go for a
rest, until her London and Paris en
gagements begin, to her home in Belle
isle, France.
Whether it is the beauty that is
brought to her through her mother
hood and great motherhood. Or
through her art, Mme. Bernhardt cer
tainly needs no press agent to pro
claim her eternal youth. She is the
youngest looking woman of seventy
that perhaps the world has ever seen.
Her skin is as hard and as firm as a
woman's of twenty-five. She wears
no glass**.- and her eyes are bright
and alive.
"People think T make lip. I sup
pose. but look, you can $ee in this
bright daylight there is nothing.
It is simply that. I take t are of my
self. Perhaps an actress keeps
younger longer because of the gen
tle massage that she is always giv
ing her face jti the putting on and
faking off of stage make-up
"American women are so careless
of their skins They motor and golf
and play tennis and walk and ride
without ever any thought of their
complexions. Their skins get dry and
wrinkled, and - it is such a shame, for
no women have greater natural
beauty and treat it with such care
less* abandon as your own lovely
women. They have everything a
French woman possesses in the way
of charm, but—they do not know so
well how to retain it.”

Stealing Loaf Sugar
to Feed to Horses.
"It would be interesting to know
how many tons of loaf sugar are stolen
each year from restaurants and
hotels to be fed to horses.” said the
manager of a lunch room yesterday.
"We used to let customers help
themselves from bowls each of which
held several pounds, but we found
that all cur coffee profit and more was
stolen. Men would fill pockets and
women handbags and give it lump by
lump to horses in the street. Some
women carry sugar from home to
give it to horses, but more, steal it
from hotels and restaurants."

Here’s the Right Way
to Send a Stamp.
"Every day you learn something
new” remarked a fr^an 'who. was busy
opening letters. ”i get about fifty
letters a week with a postage stamp
stuck on the corner for a reply. There
is only one man in America that
krtows how to stick a stamp on a let
ter."
“What's his stunt?” demanded the
friend.
"Instead of sticking tlie stamp by
a corner, so that I have to take
daub of mucilage to make that corn
er stay down, he sticks it by the mid
dle. so that w'hen l use it again all
the edges are gummed and the little
spot in the centre does not matter."

He Might as Well
Have Ordered It.
Magistrate Freschi had a < be
fore him of violation of the liquor
tax law. A detective testified that he
had entered the defendant’s place,
ordered beer for four, paid $2.00 for
the round and tipped, the waiter 25
cents.
■'Whose money paid for the
drinks?" asked the < ourt. Yours or
the city’8?’
"The city’s.'
Then why didn't you order cham
pagne?’ Magistrate Freschi said.”

American Housewife Wastes Much
Energy, Government Depart

eae.TT r;
WASHINGTON. May 7.-—The Amer
ican housewife wastes much energy
in making bread, according to Miss
Hannah Wessling, expert bread mak
er for the Department of Agriculture.
Bread doesn’t need much kneading,
she declares. Let the yeast do your
work. Her method is:
Take twelve* ounces of flour for a
one-pound loaf. Use one-fourtli ounce
of sugar, one-fourth ounce of salt and
ten ounces of tepid water. Mix the
yeast, salt and flour, and then let
them ferment for an hour instead of
using them immediately after they
"foarn." Warm the flour and mix
with the ferment. Allow- the mass
to stand one hour. Don’t handle it. It
doesn't need much kneading. Mix it
up and allow- it to stand another 45
minutes, when it is ready for the
molds.
The entire process should be con
ducted in a room w'here the tempera
ture is 80 to 86 degrees. Any warmer
means sour bread arid any cooler sog
gy bread. x
