1 Possible to Retrieve
Letter From the Mail
If, in a moment of artificial bravado
or pensive dream, you should mail a
letter which, come morning, you are
aorry you mailed, there Is a regula
tion way of getting It back. I nm
told that an average of two letters a
day are thus recalled In Manhattan
and the Bronx, says a writer In the
New York Morning Telegraph.
By the Monroe doctrine, or some
thing like that, one's letter belongs to
one until the sender gets It In his
hands. That's a post office rule.
Here, then, Is what you do. lte-ud
dross a second envelope, a duplicate of
the first, and rush to room 224 at the
central post office. Tills is the office
of the assistant postmaster, Oive the
wan your facsimile envelope and ns>k
for form 1509. Kill It In. it asks
nothing more personal than your name,
we understand.
The post office promptly gets in
touch with the substation of the dis
trict to which your letter lias been
sent and with the carrier who natural
ly would deliver It.
You then go home and wait for no
tlflcatlon that the letter lias been re
called, whereupon you go down and
claim It. Letters to distant polnlg are
wired or even cabled for, and the send
er must pay for this, hut for letters
wlUiln the city there Is no charge.

Motqua of Omar
Visitors to Jerusalem never fall to
make the Dome of the Rock or the
mosque of Omar one of the first things
to see. It Is sometimes considered to
be the finest building In Asia. If not
In the world. It Is octagonal In form,
each side being OO’A feet wide and
composed of richly colored niark-a and
tile, with a dome of beautiful propor
tions. In part It Is the work of the
Moslems before the Crusaders, hut the
Crusad enlarged It, and Sulleinan
the Magnificent completed It In 1501.
When you have seen Its Interior, says
a confirmed globetrotter, the mosaics,
the rich rugs given by a past sultan
the Sixteenth-century stain-glass win
dows and all the architectural effects
and groupings, you realize why it Is so
praised. It Is the chief landmark of
the city.
Marriage Rush Seen
Sign of Prosperity
Hempstead, L I.—The 100 mar
rlage licenses Issued In the town
of Hempstead during November
are an optimistic sign of the quick
return of prosperity, William Val

was the heaviest Issue of marriage
licenses for any November In Ids

er than for any month sine* last

/ A SAD FAILURE
The session of the Georgia Legislature just closed was the
most futile in recent years. Meeting at a time when legislative
relief and reform were more needed than ever before, it accom
plished nothing. The hundreds of thousands of dollars which
the taxpayers spent keeping the session in Atlanta were thrown
away. Everything the body accomplished could have been done
within the space of a week.
Only one piece of major routine legislation was enacted: the
appropriations bill for the next two years. It was held over for
the final hours of the session and was jammed through carrying
appropriations estimated at a million dollars more than the antic
ipated income. Fortunately there is the provision that the gover
nor can trim the appropriations to make the outgo balance the
income.
No „ effort ....... was made to reform the tax system in the , state,
Everyone realizes that we are laboring under an antiquated tax
system which must be reformed betore we can make any prog
ross in Georgia and virtually all the legislators were committed
io some relief of the inequalities of the system before they went
to Atlanta in .Iianuary but is was waylaid until too late to do any
thing about it.
The Legislature could not even agree on the simple matter of
how much the state will sell automobile tags for. The many days
spent in wrangling over the tag bill were wasted and Governor
Talmadge will make good his campaign promise for $3 tags by
suspending payment “in excess of $3’’ for the licenses. Appar
ently he has that right under the law’.
The legislature’s investigation of the department of agricul
ture revealed reprehensible actions in that department and re
sulted in talk of impeachment proceedings against Commissioner
Adams. The House defeated the impeachment actioif but it made
no effort to remedy (lie situation which has allowed the depart
ment to become the most political ridden of all Georgia state
functions.
No provision was made for any convention to act on the re
peal resolution passed by the national Congress and the people
of the state must wait two years before they are even promised
a chance to vote for or against repeal.
No economy was effected. Both houses passed legislation
cutting salaries hut there was a difference of opinion and the
difficulties never were settled and no action was taken.
The list of needed laws ignored or lost in the rush could be
extended indefinitely.
The single measure passed to better conditions in the state
was the granting of more power to the board of regents of the
university system to enable it to have the needed control over
the institutions in the system. This was the reasoning thing to
do and however commendable it was if cannot begin to justify
the session.
Other legislation was mainly trivial or purely local in nature.
The whole session was a sad failure.
We hope that we shall not soon see another like it.—From Ma
con Telegraph, Monday, March 20th. Jjfc
A LONG-HORN STAMPEDE ■
Never in its history has Georgia been afflicted with so incom
petent a legislature as the one which has just adjourned after
having spent two months in doing little or nothing.
From the first it refused to awake to a realization of the vital
importance of meeting squarely and courageously the urgent
problems before it, despite the urging of Governor Talmadge,
President of the Senate McWhorter, Speaker Rivers and some of
the outstanding leaders of both houses.
From beginning to end its sessions have been a stampede of
long-horns, and a record of incompetence unprecedented in the
legislative annals of the state.
It adjourned with the tax bill in a muddle and the appropria
tion bill a farce.
The automobile license tag hill became a political football to
be kicked back and forth between the senate and the house, in
utter disregard of the popular mandate and the convention
pledge.
Georgia has had other legislatures of the long-horn variety—
but this is the worst of all.
How it is that the counties of Georgia are willing to send such
men to represent them is hard to understand.
There are in the membership of the present general assembly
many seasoned legislators, entitled to lead because of their abil
ity and long experience, but their efforts were like chaff before
the wind when the long-horns started their stampede.
These leaders zealously and earnestly strove to bring order
out of chaos of interminable wrangling and political back-biting,
so that the people would not be the sufferers, but they never
had a chance! Their wise counsel and their efforts at leader
ship, backed by long experience in public affairs and acknowl
edged ability, went unheeded by a legislature in grasp of mob
hysteria.
It is hoped that out of the disgraceful record of this legisla
ture will come the dawning of a new day when the people of
every county in the state will awake to the necessity of sending
competent long-horned representatives to speak for them, rattier than the
mavericks responsible for the fiasco of this lamented
session. -From I he Atlanta Constitution, Monday, March 201h.

Atom's Subdivision
The neutron is a subdivision of the
atom whose existence was announced
recently by Dr. James Cbarwick of
Cambridge, England. It represents the
first step In the evolution of matter
from the elementary electricity. The
atom Is regarded as made up of elec
trons snd protons, held together by at
traction between negative and positive
electrical charges. The neutron Is a
combination of a single electron and a
single proton, their electrical charges
aeutraltzed by their union. The neu
tron Itself carries no electrical charge.

Tha simps more nearly resembles that

fresh the skin has the toughness of a
