Georgia Association Encouraged
Over Bill Providing for
Adult Probation.
SCANS LEGISLATURE’S WORK
act Establishing Home for Way
ward Girls Comes In
for Praise.
Now that the Legislature has ad
journed and the bills passed have been
submitted to Governor Slaton for
signature, the'Georgia Prison Asso
ciation has figured out definitely Just
how much was accomplished in the
way of reforming Georgia s criminal
procedure by this year’s Legislature.
The -bill which will have more ef
fect than any is the one providing
for adult probation and suspension
of sentence in misdemeanor eases.
This will become effective in every
Criminal Court in Georgia as soon as
Governor Slaton signs it. The oper
ations of the law are exceedingly
simple and are thoroughly safeguard
ed, to prtvent the habitual criminal
benefiting from them.
They provide that in first offenses
and other cases where there are suf
ficiently mitigating circumstances, the
adult convicted of misdemeanor may
be freed on probation to report back
to the court or probation officer at
stated times. This means, for in
stance, that a- man convicted of de
serting his • wife can be sentenced,
and instead ;of being put on chain-
gang work, where he will do no good
to his family, can be sent back home
and forced to work for his family un
der court .supervision.
All Judges Approve Law.
This measure received the endorse
ment of practically every Criminal
Court Judge! n Georgia, and of the
Prison Board. It applies not Su
perior Courts alone, but in all courts
in which misdemeanor cases are tried
The second reform measure passed
is the blil- establishing a home for
wayward girls in Georgia, and pro
viding $20,000 toward its establish
ment. At present Georgia has no re
formatory to which it may send its
wayward girls. It has the alternative
of sending them to the prison farm
with hardened offenders, or having
them sent to institutions outside of
Georgia.
Under the pew law Governor Sla
ton will appoint a board of five mem
hers of whom' two will be women, to
put the work of establishing this
home immediately under way. One
of their first duties will be to select
a sfte.^'
Sites Have Been Offered.
The bill provides that if no site is
given the home shall be established at
Milledgeville. but already two or
three tentative offers of a site have
been made- and there is no likeli
hood of it being necessary to put the
new home at Milledgeville, a location
which..!he friends of Ihe measure, be
lieve would- be ill-advised.
These are the only 'two measures
which were passed a. :.his session, but
one other notable thing was accom-
)li*hed. A. .bill w as flamed providing
’or indeterminate sentences. It re
ceived the formal indorsement of the
Prison Board. Was parsed by the
Senate and recommended for passage
by the'House committee. It has no
opposition and is in such shape that
it will almost certainly be one of the
first general measure a to pass the 1914
session
The Prison-Association of Georgia,
which framed the original measures,
and the association’s friends in the
Legislature, were largely responsible
for the enactment of these measures.

Cuts in Parcel Post
Rates Are Followed
By Record Business
Atlanta Office Sends Out $1,093
Every Day In Collect on De
livery Packages.
The new' parcel post rates, which
have just gone into effect, made a
record-breaking business for the close
of the week at the Atlanta postoffice.
The number of packages handled was
more than double that of any sim
ilar period, nearly all Atlanta busi
ness houses sending packages out of
town taking advantage of the reduced
rates.
The new rates affect only the local, 1
first and second zones. The w’eight
limit on parcels has been raised from
eleven to twenty pounds, and a
twenty-pound package can, under
the new rate, be sent 150 miles for
nearly half what it formerly cost to
send an eleven-pound package the
same distance.
Since the C. O. D. department ol
the parcels post went into effect the
local office has sent out an average
of $1,000 a day in C. O. D. packages.

Seize Davis Trophy
International Tennis Cup, Just Won
by America Is Held Up
for Duty.
NEW YORK. Aug. 16.—The Davis
cup, international tennis trophy, re
cently won in England by the Amer
ican team, was seized by customs of
ficials when it reached here to-day
on the liner Mauretania, but Collec
tor of the Port Mitchell intimated to
night that the prize w’ould probably
be released within a short time.
The basis of the seizure was the
officials claim that although the tro
phy was originally American prop
erty, it had been abroad so long that
the payment of duty might be neces
sary.

Woman Not Man’s
Equal, Says Prelate
Archbishop Says He Wouldn’t Dare
Say Suffrage Agitation Is
Against Church Rules.
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 16.—“I do not
believe the Creator intended the po
sition of woman in the world should
be -the same as that of man,” said
Arohbishop Sebastian G. Messmer of
this city, in an address to the Cath
olic Press .\Msooiation to-day.
‘‘But I would not dare make the
positive statement that agitation for
woman suffrage is against the rules
of the church. The church has not
' taken any definite stand and until it
.does each individual has a right to
think, talk and act as he sees fit.”
Spread to Back. Could Hardl)
Sleep for Burning and Itching,
Caused Disfigurement. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment Entirely Cured,
214 Brevard St., Tarapa, Fla.—"Some
three years ago I commenced to suffer from
a rash on my face and back. Before the
pimples came on my face
there were a lot of black
heads. It looked as if the
blackheads turned into pim
ples because after a little
while all of them were gone
and my face was covered with
\ pimples. They were small at
first but gradually grew and
right at the end of each pirn pit
it was all white. I carelessly picked them
with my finger nails, which made them
spread, and I soon discovered them on my
back. My back was covered with pimples
and my face the same way. At night I
could hardly sleep on account of the burn
ing and itching sensation they caused. I
felt like a lot of small-sized crabs biting at
my back. I did not like to go out because
the pimples caused disfigurement.
“Seeing the advertisement of Cuticura
Soap and Ointment in one of the magazines
I sent for a sample. At night I would put
the Cuticura Ointment on my face and back
and I was pleased with the result. I bought
some Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and 1 am
glad to be able to say that I am entirely
cured of pimples.” (Signed) Jno. O. Dar
lington, Jan. 25, 1913.
Cuticura Soap 25c. and Cuticura Ointment
50c. are sold everywhere. Liberal sample ol
each mailed free, with 32-p. Skin Book. Ad
dress post-card “ Cuticura, Dept. T. Boston.’

ticura Soap will find it best for skin and scalp.
