No letters received after this day will be considered. I hope to an nounce the su< < essful writers not later than Saturday I have received hundreds upon hun dreds of letters and I have read even- one of them v* ith pleasure and inter est. Lack of space prevented the publication of all received. If the readers of The Georgian have read the communications that \ver** printed I am sure thpy secured a good many >eally excellent Ideas con cerning the vexing problem of pres ent aelectlon. The simple question which I pro pounded at the outset was: \N hat s the best Christmas gift for a husband to give his wife, and what is the best for a wife to give her husband I was greatlv interested in the way manv of my readers answered the question. I fear that not a few had rather broad ideas concerning the matter, and I am certain that if they carrv out their plana as outlined to me in thoir letters -husband (or wife, as the caw* mav be) will have the grandest Christmas ever experienced. b .

E Caldwell, of Cin cinnati; R. Winslow, of Baltimore, and E P. Hogan, of Baltimore. A paper by Dr. R. C. Coffey, of Portland, Oreg., on "Pancreatic Sur gery,” was one of the feature# of the morning session, and precipitated an interesting discussion. Other papers read and discussed Thursday morning were “Congenital Pyloric Stenosis,” by D. James F. Mitchell, of Washington; Excision of the Clavicle and First Rib, With Report of Case,” by Dr. R. K. Fort, of Nashville, and "Clinical and Ex perimental Work* to Determine a Safe, Easy and Certain Method of Exclud ing the Pylorus."

The expectation that Solicitor Dor sey would take the locker > lub sit uation proved r'oundless. Mr. Dor sey said he had no intention at this time of taking up the charges that a number of clubs are violating the pro hibition law. It is regarded as likely that the charges will be laid before the new Grand Jury which will he or ganized the first of the year. The present Grand Jury will meet again Monday in its last session. The session called for Friday by Special Solicitor John V. Smith to investigate the charge of murder against Mrs. Mary Belle Crawford in connection w ith the death of her husband, Joshua B. Crawford, four years ago, has been postponed at the request of Attorney j. S. James, who represents the 48 heirs in the famous case. The delay was occasioned by the illness of two of the star witnesses for the prosecution. This investiga tion will be left for the new Grand Jury to handle.
