How Cotton Cloth Is Made
Cotton doth is made by removing
the hairs from the seeds of the cot
ton plant, twisting these hairs into
yarn, weaving tbe yarns into a fabric,
and applying a stiffening mixture and
ironing between large rollers. The
nature of the fibers used arid every
one ot ttie manufacturing processes
affect ttie value of the fabric and
ehould be considered when a cotton
cloth is being purchased.

Berkeley, Calif.—Three mm in four
I have a pet “grouch on” because of

j versity of California faculty. He has
j completed a survey of thousands of
| Christian names to determine tiie pop
j ularitv trend from 1870 to tiie preseir
j time and coupled with it a study ot

i "There „re few men who don’t wish

; fessor Steward says.
The majority of men, however, tic
I says, are satisfied if given the more
common names and William arid John

How Some Species of
Fish Release Poison
There are poisonous tisli us well us
poisonous reptiles, but tbe poison is
not communicated by biting. On tin
contrary, the fish puncture their vic¬
tims with spines. A study of the dm- j
sal tin spine of the spiny dogfish re¬
veals a groove containing a glandular
structure which discharges secretion i
through a longitudinal pit. Kurthei j
investigation discloses the presence of
a more complex gland on the dorsal j
tin spines of the Port Jackson shark j
The examination of the fossil tin j
spines of this family of fishes reveals
the existence of a rough surface with
either medium or lateral gbindtilni
structures. The surface of the spine
is otherwise covered with enamel!
which shows bosses or ridges running •
in a longitudinal direction. The venom j
of tbe weaver produces Intense ami
agonizing pain.
How a Drop Falls
To watch a drop of water when h
falls Is to attempt to penetrate tie
secret of au obscure science, the lav
which governs moving fluids.
The experiment best showing the
action of a falling drop may be made
by lettiug a drop of milk fall into
black coffee. When tbe drop falls a
crater forms around It and little drops
are projected from tbe edge of the
crater. After it has increased in size
and in thickness the crater lowers and
widens its rolling brim, while from
the impact a liquid sphere, enveloped
by tiie initial drop, collects at the j J
top of the column. Then tiie column
falls and disappears in tiie center ot
a circular ripple.
How to Measure Star Heat
Heat from the stars can be meas¬
ured and one of the instruments used
to do it contains fly wings in the shape
of a tiny “vane” suspended from
quartz fibers in a small mirror. When
a ray of starlight, passing through a
prism, is trained on the blackened
wings, the vane turns the fiber and
tiie amount of tbe turn is registered
by the mirror that reflects another
beam of light along a calibrated arc.

WHY"
Great Personages Fear to
Face “Mike"
Celebrities may be very “ritzy” In
public, but they soon take off their
high lutts when they have to speak
before tiie microphone, says Quin
Ryan, radio announcer at the Chicago
station, WON. “There are three spots
in this universe where all men are
equal,” Ryan maintains, “—on the
roller coaster, in the dentist’s chair,
and in the radio studio. All my young
life,” he says, “1 have been ritzed by
celebrities, ritzed by experts. But
now the worm has turned. The worm
has turned radio announcer, and when
I get them iu the radio studio I have
liiein scared to death. Every famous
personage quakes a bit before the mi

to meet, interview, and introduce the

sion I have drawn from these Inti¬

not so had as they are celebrated, and
that the great are gracious and ami
able. People I’ve read about, people

Why Precious Metals
Are Hoarded in India
The Hindu family ordinarily hold
all real property and household good
in common. The individual wishing
to save for his own use can segregate
Ids savings only In the form of gold
and silver. Millions of the native pop
uintion, too, have no access to tin
banks. In time of stress they must
draw on accumulated reserves or re
sort to tiie money lender—at 75 pel
cent interest.
“Consequently,” a traveler writes
“there is a strong tendency in time
of prosperity to purchase sma}) quau
titles of silver and gold In the form
of coins, bullion, or ornaments as a
reserve against want.
“Millions of people, particularly In
south India and east India, nevet
have a sufficient margin to do even
tliis, as they have no savings wliai
ever; this is evidenced by the neces
sily for famine relief measures In
many sections as soon us there is a
crop failure.”—New York Times.
Why Cab Drivers Are Jehus
Because Jehu, llie son of Jehosba
phat, the son of Niinshi, who was dl
vinely and miraculously chosen to la
king of Israel, was identified by the
watchman on the tower of Jezreei
through his furious driving in a char
iot, cab drivers are generally know a.
"Jehus.” “The driving is like tiie driv¬
ing of Jehu (lie sou of Nlmslil, for In
drivetli furiously.” “Jehus,” therefore
are those who drive furiously. Tin
application of the term to a tux
driver, therefore, Is not without rea
son. But the original Jehu never tm<

an appalling number of murders aim
massacres.
Why the Term “Loafer”
Why say “loafer” of a shiftless man
Here’s the story from which this cus

less young man fell in love with tin
daughter of an old Dutchman in New
York. The fat tier disapproved of th
youth When he saw the lazy felloe
coming lie was wont to remark to hi:
daughter: “Here comes that ‘lofei
(lover) of yours, the idle good-foi

to any shiftless person.—Grit,
Why the Name “Solon*”
The name Solon was borne by ai
Athenian, who was noted for his learn
ing and wisdom in counsel. He wu
also known as Hie law giver of AH,
ens and to him was intrusted the last
of revising tiie Athenian constitution
This accounts for Hie name being ap
plied to the members of the Unitec
States congress.
Why They Are “Weed*”
Widows’ "weeds” are derived from
a Saxon word, “waede”—a woven gav
ment. Later the term was confined
to tiie distinctive dress of a widow
and then narrowed to the long crep<
streamers from tiie bonnet.

EDITOflftL
The State Board of Health has for
•onie time been issuing two publica¬
tions, Georgia’s Health, a quarterly
publication, and Georgia Health Of¬
ficers’ Bulletin. The two have been
combined and hereafter only Geor¬
gia's Health will he published, but
after this issue it will be a monthly
publication, it will be sent free to
any citizen of Georgia on request.
What does this heading spell? What
does it mean? Why bother with it?
It means disease, distress, death.
C. Stands for CANCER, which Is on
the Increase; which last year car¬
ried away 1,398 of Georgia citi¬
zens. It is a disease for which we
have no remedy if not found very
early.
K. Stands for KIDNEY, the great
eliminator of poisons from the
body, the proper functioning of
which is necessary to life. Kidney
disease is on the increase. Bright's
Disease, just one of the diseases of
the kidneys, carried away 3,485 of
Georgia population in 1927. Kid¬
ney diseases can be treated and
quite often cured. Most of them
can be prevented, and many of
them arrested.
H. Stands for the HEART, that great
pump in our chest that circulates
the blood; the organ that, carries
on when we sleep and when we are
awake an essential and often abused
organ. A delicate and intricate
piece of machinery, it should al¬
ways he conserved, for on it de¬
pends whether we live or die.
Heart diseases were responsible
for 2,827 deaths la our State last
year. After impairment the heart
will likely always he just that much
deficient, if a valve goes wrong
it will most likely remain a defec¬
tive valve. It is like a four-cylin¬
der automobile running on three
cylinders.
All of these diseases if detected In
time can he benefited, often pre¬
vented and many are completely ar¬
rested. The important factor is early
diagnosis, tile finding of “the ten¬
dency” and takiug such early action
as the doctor thinks best; in other
words, a physical examination once—
or better twice—a year would find
many of them in time.
The suspicious sore, the enlarged
gland or lump may be a beginning
cancer; if operated on immediately
Hie cancer will stop.
An analysis as well as microscopic
examination will detect kidney dis¬
ease, and most likely rest and proper
food will be all that is necessary to
effect a cure.
Physical examination of the heart
and blood vessels with fluoroscopic ex ¬
amination will give the doctor all he
needs to know to correct the begin¬
ning of the end.
Physicians should be equipped to
make such examinations as will he en¬
tirely satisfactory and well worth
while. Unless the examination is
thorough and well made, it will not
locate the trouble in the incipient
stage.
It we can do something to better
0. K. H., Georgia's span of life will
lie materially lengthened and many
of her most valued citizens will be
saved for years of usefulness; in fact,
most of the havoc wrought by these
diseases comes at that period of life
when men and women are really of
greatest benefit to their community.

FEWER MAD DOGS IN 1927.
We are advised by our State Board
of Health Laboratory that apparently
rabies is on the decline in our State.
Georgia lias had a rattier high Mte and
the decline is certainly welcome. Only
729 animal heads were submitted for
examination last year, only 36 per
cent of these being found positive. We
sincerely hope that it will continue to
go down until we are free of rabies. ’
The foraging animal may eat less
regularly than the hog, hut he lives
longer.
