Wheeler (tanty iEaglr EXTRA SESSION CALL ISSUED FOR MAY IST Atlanta, April 12. —Governor Hardman late Friday issued a call for a special session of the Georgia Legislature to meet at 11 a m. May 1. The Legislators are to consider Confederate pen sions and vital matters of state finance. Gov. Hardman said: “There is nothing left for me to do except issue a call fora special session. I didn’t suggest it. I have sought and suggested means to avoid it. The legisla ture did its best in the regular session, but revenues have failed to develop commensurate with expectancies. “I feel that it is only fair to the legislators to give them an oppor tunity to adopt a financial pro gram that will work. We have borrowed upto our limit, and there is nothing else to do.” A number of legislators, in cluding R. B. Russell, Jr., of Winder, speaker of the House, visited the executive offices Fri day seeking information. Mostly they were of the opin ion that a session now is ill-ad vised, but that they will coope rate with the Governor in his wishes. Shortly after noon Governor Hardman left the Capitol to con tinue at the mansion the work of writing the call.

Heinz Company FISH is a valuable body build ing food, and wise cooks give it a definite place in the every-day diet. To be palatable, with full ap peal of flavor, fish requires care ful and unusual seasoning. The skillful use of a small amount of tomato ketchup or chili sauce, a few drops of onion juice, or per haps a dash of Worcestershire sauce, takes fish out of the realm of commonplace foods and makes it an unusually attractive dish.

Remove from water and take off skin. Place in a well buttered pan, and season with salt and pepper. Top with slices of pickle, and pour half the tomato sauce over the fish. Bake 30 to 45 min utes, basting with remaining to mato sauce. Garnish with pars ley and serve the fish surrounded with sauce from the baking pan.

INCOME TAX LAW UPHELD BY COURT Atlanta, April 15. —Constitu- tionality of the Boyken income tax law, passed by the legisla ture, was upheld by unanimous decision of the state supreme court Wednesday, and collection of taxes not paid pending the de cision will be undertaken at once. Governor Hardman, who called for a copy of the decision, imme diately after it was handed down, said that it would have no effect on his call for a special session of the legislature on May 1, but that it might alter the subjects for which the session was called. The law, which provides a state income tax equal to one-third the federal income tax, was passed to become operative the last three months of 1929. Shortly after passage of the act, however, two tax-payers brought injunction suits against R. C. Norman, state tax commissioner, seeking to re strain enforcement of the act on the grounds that it was uncon stitutional. While it has been in litigation, the law has been inoperative, but payments which would have been made except for the court pro ceedings now must be paid. It is estimated that the bill will provide approximately $4,- 500,000 annually for the state. The original petition set out three general specifications of unconstitutionality. IN MEMORY OF OUR MOTHER Another silver cord is broken, has triumphed over the grave, and a happy spirit rests with God. She’s gone —my mother, my precious, my own, she’s gone where never a tear is shed. Where of pain there’s never a moan. She’s gone—it’s selfish of me to desire her back on this earth of strife and sin—it seems so hard to give her up, but the Lord giveth and the Lord taketb. Oh, what could I give her to com pare with the peace and joy and love, that is hers in the Mystic “over there,” that is hers in the great above. But we trust that the day will soon come, when we can see her loving face once again. Where we shall never part on that bright and happy shore. We know that she cannot come back to us, but we can go to her, it we will do the will of the Mast er. Oh, it is so sad to go in and cannot see the face that was so dear and sweet to us, and cannot hear the voice that spoke so kind. She’s gone, those precious eyes so dear to me are closed to scenes here below, but in Heaven the wondrous things they see no mortal on earth can know. Her pale face is smiling now, her eyes are sparkling with joyful mirth. Her sweet voice sings, smooth is her brow. She is safe from all the cares of earth. She’s gone, I’m sad. Dear mother thou hast left us and our loss we deeply feel, but tis God that has bereft us; He can all our sorrow heal, yet again we hope to meet thee, when the day of life is fled, when in Heav en with joy to greet thee, where no farewell tears are shed. Fare well dear mother, but not forev | er, there will be a glorious dawn, ; we shall meet to part no never, on the resurrection morn. LUCY TOWNS LONG.
