INSECT EXPERTS
TO DELVE INTO
;ee
Cornell University Scientists Wi
Study Winter Habits of Bugs
in Great Swamp,
The entomological mysteries of the
(Vrea.t Okefenokee Swamp are to
explored again and possibly revealed
within the next three weeks, unless
an expedition setting out from Cor
nell University, and aided by P. I„
W orsham. State Entomologist, shall
go astray.
“The expedition is going after in-
sects; mainly water insects not avail
able in summer," Mr. Worsham said
Monday. "Dr. J. C. Bradley' and Dr.
.1. G. Needham, of the Cornell facul
ty. will head the expedition, and there
will be a number of students along.
Dr. Bradley- in the summer months
Is a most valued assistant of Mr.
Worsham’s, and his chief gives him
credit for supplying Georgia with one
of the finest State collections in
A m erica.
And here's another and very spe
cial feature of the expedition:
Hardy- Ulm, executive secretary to
the Governor and known in his news
paper days as "Slippery Ulm," is go
ing to delve into the buggish mys
teries of the big swamp to the extent
of three days, anyway.
Mr. Ulm Is not exactly "strong” on
the bugs, but he is keen on adven
ture, and the reverberant echoes of a
large bear, slain by Mr. Worsham on
a former excursion, have raised Mr.
Ulm’s sporting blood to several de
grees above the fever mark.
"We will join the expedition on
Thursday morning at Fargo. Ga..
said Mr. Worsham. "And the excur
sion will start at once from that
point, which is right on the edge of
tiie big swamp. We will have to walk
and w-ade about tyy-enty miles, to be
gin with, and that is no yvork for
mollycoddles. I can tell you. East
time I was in the great realm of Ihe
'Trembling Earth’—that’s yvhat the
Indian name means—It took us two
hours to struggle along three-quar
ters of one mile."
Mr. Worsham added that the expe
dition was one of the preliminary re
searches in advance of the big meet
ing in Atlanta December 29 to .Janu
ary 3, when delegates to the conven
tion of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science will
gather here. The association has a
membership of nearly 10,000, and
there is sure to be a large attendance
at the meeting here.

OXFORD, Dec. 15.—Gamma Chap

gives the Chi Phis the best chapter

the old Hardeman home is considered
the handsomest home in the town.
Suffragist of Far

DALTON, Dec. 15. Mrs. Anna Mc-
Crosky, not only a suffragette, but one
of the voting kind, is here on a visit
to relatives, her home being in Colfax,
Wash.
Although believing firmly in woman’s
right to vote, Mrs. McCrosky is far
from being a militant suffragette, be
lieving the strenuous tactics wrong.

BIG PROSPERITY ERA IS
SEtN FOR SOUTHEAST
FAIRFAX HARK ISON.
Heavy Christmas Traffic Bears Out
Assertion of Fairfax Harrison
That Section Thrives.
Railroad officials in Atlanta .said
.Monday that the Christmas traffic lias
borne out the statement of Fairfax
Harrison, new president of the
Southern, that the Southeast is ex
periencing the greatest prosperity era
n its history and that the outlook is
unusually good.
While other sections of the coun
try suffered from a long drouth this
year, which cut the total corn yield
down 661,000,000 bushels,” said Mr.
Harrison, ‘‘the South was but 21,000,-
000 bushels short, and most of this
shortage was experienced in Ken-
ucky and Tennessee. In the other
Southeastern States the production
has been nearly normal.
‘In addition to this, the great cot
ton crop, which has moved fast and
brought a good figure, has served to
make it’ a wonderful year for the
Southern farmer. The territory trav
ersed by the Souhtern Railway has
been wonderfully prosperous and the
retail and wholesale trade in it has
been healthy.
‘‘Other crops, including forage, have
turned out splendidly and, taking the
territory on the whole, I doubt wlieth-
r the farmers of the Southeast have
ever had a more favorable year. The
reports of cotton mill and knitting
mill development are particularly
noteworthy, while manufacturers in
most lines are finding their product
in great demand. Just at this time
there is a slight slackening in tneir
line on account of the Christmas holi
days. but this is a natural condition,
and in a short while everything wi il
be in good shape again. Undoubt
edly the South is facing its greatest
business outlook.”

CommerceCommission Delays De
cision on Change of Rates
Vital to Business.
By B. C. FORBES.
Will President Wilson please ask
the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion to expedite its decision on rail
road rates?
• * *
Uncertainty kills.
* * *
I bear that a tremendously oner
ous demand for an entirely new-
mass—mountain—of statistics has
been made a the suggestion of Mr.
Brandeis, whese attitude toward the
railroads is w-ell known.
* * *
Here are the facts as I understand
them:
At a cost of more than a million
dollars the railroads have prepared
statistics of every conceivable kind
covering the last ten years.
This was thought sufficient in all
conscience.
Then the commission engaged Mr
Brandeis.
Not content with full records ex
tending back a whole decade. MR.
BRANDEIS. I AM TOLD. INDUCED
THE COMMISSION TO ORDER
THE RAILROADS TO COMPILE
SIMILARLY EXHAUSTIVE DATA
FOR FIVE YEARS FARTHER
RACK—BA UK FIFTEEN YEARS
ALTOGETHER.
*. * *
Now. railway accounts were not
always kept fifteen years ago as they
are prepared now, gnd in order to
have proper comparisons an appalling
amount of expert labor will have to
be spent—and paid for.
* • *
YOU must par- for all these fifteen-
year-old statistics. Do YOU think
they are absolutely necessary? Have
YOU no objection lo the whole ques
tion being held up indefinitely and ar
additional expense in
volved ?
• • •
To those of us who ate neither law
yers nor experts records covering a
full decade would seem to be suffi
cient on which to base an intelligent
decision. Why pile on the agony?
Why entail inordinate work and ex
pense. for which every one of us must
pay, simply because the commission
has it in its power to put the rail
roads through any paces it sees fit?
• ‘ * *
The delay involved is even more
serious than the exnense—much more
serious. Mr. Rrandeis. I understand
was not prepared to go on with his
case. As bis engagement was appar
entlv an afterthought, this is not as
tonishing. Presumably, the commis
sion reckoned that the shipper:
would, if they had objections, hire
counsel to present these objections,
as was done last time and as every
body believed would be the natural
thing to do again.
• • *
Last week the hearing was ad
journed “until some time after the
holidays.”
Gentlemen of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, are you close
enough to the affairs of the country lo
realize that dawdling is dangerous?
Are you aware of the urgency for
prompt action? Can you not forego
a little holidaying at such a time as
this. and. if necessary, put in a few-
extra hours to expedite a matter so
important? Even the United States
Congress does not shut its eyes to
such considerations.
Why not brush utterly inconse
quential cases to one side, buckle
down to a spell of hard work, and re
lieve the tension without one hour’s
unnecessary delay?
* • *
Let the business world know'
where it is at. Let the railroads know
whether thev may resume placing
orders, and thus stem the rising tide
of unemployment, or whether they
must adjust themselves to conditions
they complain have become well nigh
intolerable. Let investors have an I
idea of where they are to stand.
* • *
Everybody just now is in the dark.
Everybody is guessing—and fretting.
• * *
My belief— very strongly held—
that the whole coarse of industry and
prosperity in the United States will
be vitally affected by the Interstate
Commerce Commission’s verdict. t
