i Willi:.m J. Mayo, one of the
s brothers, says science learns
ibout iileases from the mi.scro-
M v|,c than in any other way. Man's
hr.sin is a “visual orjran,” and must
to know. The introduction of
:he miscro.vope by the Jansses, late
in the sixteenth century, has done
more to advance learning than any
other agent, says Dr. Mayo.
Real learning owes more to Gali
leo’s introduction of the telescope,
at the beginning of the seventeenth
century, than to the microscope.
Seeing the germs that cause disease
is important, but less so than seeing
distant suns and nebulae. Perhaps,
the great German scientist Haeck
el ‘jested, men of the future will
train noe eye for telscopic, the other
for microscopic work, the two eyes
combined dealing with th e real world
about us.

Gautamas, finest temple at Hangoon,

That is the convenient thing about
pagan religions. When anything
K sots wrong the pagan priests tell the
I faithful, “It’s your fault. Your do-
l nations hove been inadequate.” Noth
ing is ever wrong with the pagan
god. suppofrd to control earthquakes
or at least protect his own temples.
Even fundamentalist Christian
churches put lightning rods on their
steeples, which seems strange.
Judge Hardy of the Superior Court
in San Francico says crime could be
nbolished if mothers would teach
their children, in preschool days,
obedience, truthfulness, honesty and
the Golden Rule. That is just what
mothers have been teaching their
children for 500,000 years, accord
ing to the light of their period, and
they have achieved wonders already.
Intelligent Mr. Tex Richard says
Jack Dempsey will fight Mr. Tun-
npy again next summer. Certainly,
and each of many folowing summers
until death do them part, if the crop
of $40 a seat simpletons lasts.
A cruel government plans to tax
each $40 seat $10, but that can be
made up by speculators' prices. Mr.
Packard's good fortune is due partly
t* the fact that men dull enough
to injoy prize fights are too dull to
know when they are being “faked.”
It is believed, in the West, that
the Tri-State Colorado River Com-

The opening of Macon Grand Opera,
Monday, January 9th, at t
municipal auditorium, is so near that
one can almost close their eves and
see the magnificence of the first per
formance, “Aida.” There is nothing
so inspiring as the first evening of
| Opera, and all music lovers will
jly want to be present on this occasion. [
The story, around which the plot
in “Aida” is woven, is one of rom
ance and the music is as gripping as
the most appealing romance ever
written. Giuseppe Verdi's “Aida” is
one of the most elaborate of the
Operas in scenery and vocal range.
The fading stars of Fortune Gal
los’ San Carlo grand opera singers
will make their bow for the first
time to a Macon audience. "Aida”
has been a favorite an a season open
ing, not only on account of its mili
tary and barbaric splendors of anci
ent Egypt, but because of the many
stellar opportunities it gives to a
large casl. Both the Metropolitan
and Chicago Ojnra Companies have
used this opera more cftcij than any
• thcr work ‘.o intiatc a new season.
The Buick Touring ear owned by
Mr. Leo Stubbs was completely de

caught. C. H. Andrews £ Son in

181 new babys arrived in Milledge-
ville during 1927 according to birth
certificates filed in Clerk R. T. Bais-
dons office. The females outnumb-
ed_ the males, there being 95 girl
babies born and only 86 boy babies.
The colored outnumber the white in
the birth records, 106 colored babies
being born and 75 white.
The law requiring all births and
denths to h c registered make these
figures fairly accurate, although Mr.
Baisden declares thire are many
babies born and many people die and
these facts are not recorded.

'■ "If and musical expression will be
presented in eight performances on
the San Carlo Grand Opera Com
pany'- first visit to Macon. Not only
will there be no repetition of nny
opera during the week, but the r
agement and the Macon Grand
Opera Association have paid more
than the usual attention to the mod
ern repertoirs in the selection of
operas for the week.
Gounod’s masterpiece, "Faust,”
little older in operatic form but i
less beautiful, is to be presented <
Tuesday night with its classic story
from Goethe and its voluptdous music
in which the great, French composer
excelled.
Another great, modern composer,
Humperdinck, will be presented in
his finest work in English, on of the
greatest of modern works, “Hansel
nnd Greted," at the Wednesday mati
nee. While this charming fairy opera
calls out crowds of women and
children at the afternoon perform
ances. its musical scope is one of the
greatest in symphony or symphoni
opera and is so recognized by lead
ing musical authorities. Its liber-
etto iti based upon the simplest story
imaginable. The old, folk tale. "The
Babes in the Woods,” known in
form or another to every language
and every people.
On Wednesday night, there will
be given one of the more familiar of
the operas, the melodious “Rigoletto”
by Verdi.
Bizet's towering masterpiece, “Car
men,” which is one of the most popu
lar operas, will be presented on
Thursday night. It has won a place
among the world’s moa!, perfect com
positions.
The popular pair of short operas
that always go together thn best,
Mascagni's “Cavalleria Rusticane”
and Leoncavallo’s “Pagliacci,” will
be given together Friday night. They
are among the finest examples of the
modern school.
The moat popular latter-day Italian
composer, Puccini, has his inpeccablc
music drama represented in “Mad-
Butterfly,” and considered by
many to be his supreme master piece
and certainly his most popular crea
tion, is to be given at the Saturday
matinee.
On Saturday night, Verdi’s popu
lar “11 Trovatore” will be presented.
It ia a concession to those who love
their rich old familiar melodies best.
These numbers will make up the
feast of music which is without pre
cedence in Macon and South Geor-
