Robert figures It this> way: There isn’t much use In buying and run ning an airship if you are going to get sick every time you get a few' feet up in the air; the thing to do, therefore, is to get used to being off the ground—and then buy your airship. “1 don’t like to ride in elevators," he says, “but I’ve got to.

Robert says he is going to have an airship as soon as he is sure he can fly without getting sick. “I’ve got a bank at home with four pennies and a dime in it," he said. “I guess that’ll get a pretty good air ship. If it ain’t enough. Mama will give me as much more as I need.” Funeral Designs and Flowers FOR ALL OCCASIONS. Atlanta Floral Company, 455 EAST FAIR STREET.

Morton. ex-Treasurer of the United States, who have been serving sentences in the Federal Pen itentiary for misuse of the mails In a stock scheme, were recommended on Thursday In a report submitted by the Federal Pardon Board to Attorney General McReynolds. The recommendation in respect to Hawthorne and Morton had been agreed upon by the Pardon Board since their meetings at the Federal prison some time ago, but they have withheld their report, as is the cus tom, until the prisoners named are eligible to parole.

A telegram will be sent at the direction of the Attorney General and this will be followed by a letter containing the formal notice of the paroles. ”1 am delighted that the recom mendation is before Mr. McReynolds.” said Hawthorne, when Deputy Ward- en Wilbur Hawk Informed him of the action of the Pardon Board. ”1 was aware that the board had considered my case favorably and it pleases me that it requires only the signature of the Attorney General to make me a free man.” Mother's Lips Keep Baby Alive 10 Days LOS ANGELES. CAL., July 24.— Determined that her baby boy shoul i live, though three physicians declared he would die in 4S hours, Mrs. J. H. Spaulding, of Oklahoma City, kept the spark of life aglow’ ten days. It is considered the most remarkable case of artificial respiration on record. Soon after bifth the baby was seized with an affection of the heart.

The bill creating Barrow County, with Winder as the county seat, was defeated in the Senate Thursday aft ernoon after a long and strenuous fight. Advocates of the new county declared a strong effort would be made to reconsider the action. A large number of people were down from Winder to witness the ac tion of the Senate. The House had already acted favorably on the bill. Senator DuBose, of the Thirtieth Dis trict, led the fight for the new county, While this bill passed the House with the Indorsement of three of the six Representatives from the district affected, it is known that only one of the Senators of the three from the counties concerned to-day will vote for the bill. The other two, it is said, will actively oppose the bill when it comes up for passage. Either the defeat or the passage of the Barrow County bill, it was argued by some, will mean an end of the consideration of new counties by the present Legislature. Others, however, claim the agitation will go on un abated. regardless of the verdict of the Senate, for strong delegations from the counties affected are on hand to wage their fight, and will not give up until the last card has been played. Among the new counties which art to be voted on are Warner, Candler and Miliedge. Lamar, Hansel! and Norwood Coun ties will be considered by the House committee Thursday afternoon.

Interment at Westview, Hitchcock of Nebraska Also Favors Dividing Remainder of Country Into Small Nations. WASHINGTON, July 24.—The an- nexation of States in Northern Mex- ■ ico by the United States and a di vision of the remainder of the country into separate governments was sug gested to-day by Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, as a possible way of bringing about peace In that country. “The cession of a portion of North ern Mexico to the United States in payment for the enormous indemnity which must be asked of that country for damage to American life and property seems to me to be a feasible way of settling these claims," said Hitchcock. "It will be Impossible for Mexico to meet the demands of the United States In cash. “These States also would serve as ‘buffer’ between the United States and the Mexican nations farther south. “Inasmuch as Mexico is now torn between two conflicting factions, it is within the bounds of possibility that peace might be restored through the establishment of separate nations governed by the chief of the con tending factions. Sees Speedy Way to Peace. “It would seem at present that this would be the most speedy way of bringing a cessation of hostilities to that war-ridden land. Of course, these suggestions are in no way to be taken as an authoritative statement as to the course the United States will pur sue. They simply embody my own views on the subject.” President Wilson has not for mulated a definite plan for deal ing with the Mexican situation, he has not selected any of the alternatives suggested to him for escaping from the present tangle, nor will he do so before his conference with Ambassador Wilson at the White House, scheduled for Saturday. This statement was made at the White House to-day and is under stood to emanate directly from the President. The proposal that the President should take the initiative in suggest ing mediation to the warring fac tions south of the border is scouted at the White House. Offer Sure To Be Rejected. In the first place, it is unlikely that either side would consent to the United States acting as a peacemak er; secondly, the administration does not feel that it should offer its ser vices when it is almost certain they would be declined with little cere mony. Following a conference with Presi dent Wilson, Senator Bacon, chair man of the Foreign Relations Com mittee, said that the United States, acting as mediator in Mexico, had been considered merely tentatively by the President. “I do not believe that a policy of mediation will be adopted,” said Sen ator Bacon. “The United States would have to be invited to act as a peacemaker and this, I think, w’ill not occur. Bacon Denies Intervention. “The suggestion is only one of many now being considered by the Presi dent, who intends to take no active step until after he has had an oppor tunity to confer with Ambassador Wilson.” Senator Bacon said that all the energies of the United States Gov ernment would be devoted to settling the Mexican trouble without interven tion, because the seriousness of this step is appreciated by all officials in Washington. The Senator from Georgia also said that he could not conceive of any im mediate developments which would force armed intervention and added that the protection of Americans and other foreigners in Mexico necessarily must devolve on the consuls and oth er Government agents now in the re public. Senator Bacon refused to deny or confirm the rumor that Secretary of State Bryan was to head the Mexi can commission of mediation and con ciliation. “As far as I know,” said Bacon, “no man’s name has been mentioned for this place.” Bryan Hurrying to Capital for Conference. CHICAGO, July 24.—Secretary of State Bryan was in Chicago thirty minutes to-day. He arrived from Iowa, where he had be^n delivering chautauque lectures, and left at 12:40 o’clock for Washington. The only official who met him at the train was William L. O’Connell, Governor Dunne’s political representative. “I shall leave Washington again as soon as I feel I properly can,” said Mr. Bryan. ‘1 have several Chautauqua engagements to fill dur ing the summer.” Secretary Bryan declined to discuss his coming conference with Henry Lane Wilson, United States Ambas sador to Mexico, w’ho is on his way to Washington to meet President Wil son and the State Department chief. Cardinal Gibbons Lauds Wilson’s Mexico Policy. WESTMINSTER, MD„ July 24.— That Cardinal Gibbons is in sympathy with the Wilson administration’s re fusal to recognize the Huerta Govern ment was clearly shown when, in an interview, the aged prelate said he thought the present Mexican Govern ment is not well enough established to feive it permanence, and, therefore, should not be recognized by the United States. He said he sympathized with Pres ident Wilson in the delicate ques tions confronting him in the Mexican matter and thought he is doing his duty conscientiously in withholding recognition of the Huerta regime. He thought that, while European NOMINATION BLANK I hereby nominate as the most beautiful girl in Atlanta: Name Address Only one of these blanks will be credited to any one contestant.

He pointed out that it w’as by no means certain that the Huerta gov ernment would not soon be over thrown, the uncertainty being so grave that it could scarcely be reck oned a sound de facto power, to say nothing of Its de jure authority. Un der the circumstances President Wil son is acting wisely, the cardinal be lieves, in the course he has thus far pursued. Praise for Elder Diaz. Referring to the uncomfortable conditions American citizens on the Mexican border are enduring, the Cardinal said there was a possibility that this border might be pushed far ther south for their relief. He alluded to the extreme discontent of the Mex ican people in the State of Sonora and opposite El Paso, Tex., as giving rise to the impression of such a possi bility. The great mistake of the Mexican people, he said, was in their repudia tion of Porflrio Diaz, who had given them a firm government, maintained peace, and had done more than any other man to develop the resources of the country and advance its prosper ity. Second Regiment Defending Island Against Invasion ST. SIMONS ISLAND, July 24.— The Second Georgia Regiment left camp this morning for a trip across the island to a sawmill, where the sixth "battle” of the tour of duty is taking place to-day.

Each man w’ill cook his own food. Tho regiment will return to camp Friday morning. Brigadier General Harris will arrive Friday, and dress parade will be given in his honor. Request for Rangers To Cross Border Denied. WASHINGTON, July 24.—The War Department to-ady formally denied the request of Representative Smith, of Texas, that a company of Texas Rangers be allowed to cross the bor der to rescue the Americans said to be in peril at Madera. The department officials take the, stand that no expeditionary move ment of this kind could possibly be countenanced by the Government. Private raids engineered by filibus ters would have no standing in the eyes of the world and the United States could not legally take steps to protect such rangers if they wore sur rounded by^federal 1st troops in Mexi co and slaughtered. England Ready to Send Battleship to Mexico. LONDON. July 24.—Great Britain is keeping a watchful eye on the sit uation In Mexico.

Appropriation Made After Four- Hour Debate—One of Forty Amendments Passes. After a four-hour debate the House Thursday morning, sitting as a Com mittee of the Whole, acted favorably on section 5 of the general appropria tions bill, covering appropriations to colleges and the public school fund. Despite the fact that more than 40 amendments were offered on it, but one change was made. This was an increase of $100,000 in the public school fund, making the total $2,600,- 000. The Appropriations Committee had recommended that $2,600,000 be appropriated, this being' the exact amount paid out during the past year. Scores of Speeches Made. The amendment adopted was offer ed by Representative Stovall, and was carried by a vote of 80 to 45. The entire section was productive of de bate, half a hundred speeches being made. The Stovall amendment came In the way of a compromise, a stren uous effort being made to make the appropriation $2,750,000. It is believed the House will com plete its work on the appropriations bill this week. Two days have already been consumed in it and if the House passes it this week a new record will have been set for expediency. Quick Action Seems Sure.. It will be taken up by the Senate immediately and everything looks favorable for the sending of it to the Governor ten days before the expira- tlon of the session. Governor Slaton has threatened to call an extra ses sion unless the bill reaches him by this time. An effort to limit the time of the consideration of the bill by the House as a Committee of the Whole to an hour for each section except the fifth caused an hour’s hot debate. The res olution provided for five-minute speeches by eight members and twen ty minutes for Chairman Wheatley, of the Appropriations Committee. This w’as killed by a 91 to 34 vote. j6i Asks Receiver Aftc Tilt With Partner George O. Speir, stockholder In the A. A.
