| line Oelsel, dean of the department
| of health of Shorter College, who, in
her first talk to mothers at the child

declared that 60 per cent, of the crim-
j inallty came from direct inheritance
, Sixty per cent of the feeble-minded
i and 60 per cent of the Insane also
1 come by their misfortune by direct
I inheritance, she said.
Advocating a cure, Dr Oelsel de-
1 clnred that the unfit should not be

Before leaving Atlanta Mr. Howard

was absolutely nothing political In
the effort to bring the investigation
Mr. Howard mentioned a list of the
charges, which, he said, were made
by "responsible persons in a position
to know the facts ”
Among the charges were lack of
discipline, improper and Insufficient

soni salts.
“ft Is further alleged," said Mr.
Howard, "that men have died from
the administration of excessive and
Inhuman punishment."
Tt was stated, he C2*d. that several
mutinies had occurred in the prison
within the last thre® months, and it
was alleged "that these mutinies were
actuated by a lack of respect on the
part of the prisoners toward the ex
ecutive and officials of the prison."
"It Is charged also." said the Con
gressman, "that certain men former
ly employed at the prison were dis
charged by the warden on suspicion
of inciting convicts to mutiny, and
that the moral tone surrounding pris
oners is of such a character as to
create a spirit of disrespect for the
law."
Congressman Howard said that ac
tion could he had on a "privilege res
olution” within seven days after its
Introduction on the floor of the
House.
"I have no personal interest what
ever in* seeking this Investigation."
Mr Howard said. "As an official of
the government, and as a representa
tive of the district in which this In
stitution is located,! feel that I should

Will You Be a Spug?
A spug according to our incompar
able friend, ‘‘The Optimist"—is a
member of the new born "Society for
the Prevention of Useless Giving."
To be a spug, stop useless giving.
This sounds easier than it is, for use
less giving has become almost as much
a part of Christmas as the word
“merry.”
The mission of the spug is to spug
this bad, costly, nerve-racking custom.
This long-delayed necessity was born
in New York. Mrs. Angust Belmont is
said to be the mother of the idea. May
blessings be upon her head and all who
join this Society for the Prevention of
Useless Giving.
There are no initiation fees or annual
dues. There are no personal require
ments, physical or mental. Neither race,
creed nor color makes a difference.
All you do is to stop useless giving.
Be a spug!
Below are suggestions that will help
yon to act on the resolve.
