Scores of persons were on every

hanging crowd, of which some were,
always moving and creating a certain
amount of confusion.
This situation enabled Miss Hum

sneaked away.

I guess we must have talked all of

Summerville Child Champion of
Georgia, and Expects to Do
Better Next Year ,
Nine-year-old Sara Neal is the

other lb tie girl in Georgia .rendere 1
so valiant and effective service in the
war on tuberculosis before Christmas
as Sur* Neal, who took entire charge
of the task of selling Red Cross
(’hristmas seals in the little town of
Summerville, and who worked so well
that it is likely there was a higher per
capita alo in Summerville than any
where- else in Georgia.
Bernard Suttlor, in charge of iiie
Raoul Foundation, who directed the
sale of stamps in Georgia, received
yesterday .1 letter from the the little
girl telling that she, working alone,
sold 1,800 seals, and that she “had a
big time” on the job.
Sar;t Neal is the daughter of (’. B.
Neal, postmaster at Summerville. She
offered her services to Mr. Huttler
when he despaired of finding a man
ager in the little town. At first ho
hesitated. Sara Neal was a very lit
tle girl, indeed, and a managership
seemed a big job for her young shoul
ders But she wanted to take charg* ,
andr Mr. Suttler Intrusted the job to
her.
She directed the construction of a
booth in the postofflee, she fold Mr.
Suttler in her letter yesterday, and
vent to w«u-l The first ibipnx 1 1
of 1 few hundred stamps was dis
posed of with hard work. But by the
lime they were sold the 600 persons
in Summerville realized that the
0-ycar-okl manager was in earnest.
The next shipment went easier. *nd
Sara writes that she thinks she might
have sold more. Next year maybe
she will, she says in the letter.

“The best of it ought to be pretty

We are particularly blessed here in
Georgia with a stavvlart. robust pros

storms of finance. 1 have no doubt
tiiat Georgia was le-s affected by tin*
recent crisis than any other State in

Georgia is a young State young in

rie in California Is Trebled.
Safeguards for Actors.
While unloading two carloads of
wild animals consigned to the West
ern branch of the Universal Film
Manufacturing Company at Los An
geles. oe Santos, an animal trainer
ir. the employ of the company, was
attacked by a lioness and seriously
injured. The animals were restless
owing to their long trip, and a lion
ess broke away from her cage and
succeeded in breaking into the cage
of a sister lion. The man in charge
of the animals was absent. Although
railroad employees heard the beasts
lighting, they were powerless to in
terfere* When the car was opened in
the presence of naif a dozen trainers
in the employ of the Universal Com
pany. on * of the lions was found dead.
The other was crouched in the far end
of the car.
Bantus went into the car with a
w hip. The usual methods of han
dling lions, however, did not prevail.
No sooner had Santos raised his whip
than the lioness jumped at him and
.struck him twice with her powerful
paw before the other trainers could
give aid. The maddened animal was
overpowered, and Santos was drag
ged from the car.
There are now at Universal City a
pack of 25 wolves of all varieties.
When the company stages Russian
scenes none except Russian wolves
will be used, and the same rule will
obtain in regard to scenes in all parts
of the world.
With the trebling of the menagerie
it has been necessary to double the
size of the animal stage. That the
actors will not be placed in unneces
sary danger while acting with the
wild animals a new system of run
aways is being constructed.

Great Moral Lesson
In New Movie Play
The Victor Company is producing a
one-reel comedy-drama with sixty chil
dren in it. It concerns the problem of
the “poor little rich children,” who,
while they have all the exterior com
forts of life, are sadly neglected so
far as affection is concerned and the
ultimate reformation of their parents.
The children in question go to the
barn of an afternoon with their parents’
clothes arid invite all their friends to
witness their show—admission, two pins.
Unwittingly they play a drama of their
