The councils have the right to declare war, pass laws and ratify international treaties' A Sound Investment In Health and Economy ■F nB w B ■ H WISB F |n : ■' I ■ IPS nj Modern AIR-CONDITIONED / Refrigerators A modern ice refrigerator will cost you only half the amount you are figuring on spending. It will use so little ice that the iee service man need come only once in several days. Foods stay fresh longer because they don’t dry out. Strong food odors don’t taint other foods . . . because, they are quickly car ried away through the air-conditioning chamber. In this way foods retain all their natural nourishment and there is no loss through spoilage. Only ICE can give this kind of refrigeration. GEORGIA ICE COM! REFRIGERATOR SALES STORE, 144 WHITAKER ST.

SHORT WAVE ANNOUNCES NEW TRIUMPH IN RADIO NEW YORK, June 12 (TP)—Fac simile transmission by short wave radio is a reality today. Radio Corporation of America has demonstrated that it is possible to transmit blue prints, pictures, hand writing, newsprint and other visual matter by short wave. The demonstration was made on a three-meter wave facsimiel circuit be tween New York and Philadelphia. R. C- A. officials said they believed short wave eventually would supplant wire circuits bteween big cities—and might even offer a challenge to the air mail. It would be possible, they predicted, to move 12,000 worda a minute by short wave over this wave band—and to carry radio telephone, pictures, automatic typewriter and telegraph signals on the same chan nel at the same time. by J/nny Nig THE BOSS is giving his face a rest from the rigors of shaving and his staff cowers under desks when he appears.
