Apply Frank Weldon, secretary. Four unoccupied baby Incubators, In tended as an exhibit for tho recent fair, arrived In Atlanta a day or two ago from Canada, and the dtrectora and of ficials are more or less upset as to the temporary proprietorship. There is no argument, however, ns to who wants to assume this responsibility. This shipment left Toronto, Canada, September 10th, and the miniature baby hostelrles were delayed up around York state until November 6th, which Mines, obtaining their release' proves that Southern roads are not tho only delinquents In the matter of hand ling shipments. The consignment hav ing enme from a foreign land, Is yet bonded and the customs officials aro to be consulted before the Incubators are moved. This matters not, os Secretary Wel don Is not falling over himself to as sume imssesston. He Is congratulating himself, however, that the Incubator* are tenantless. They were consigned to Dr. F. R.
