RECORD IN TALKING
TRIED BY MERE MAN
WOMAN IS NOW CHAMPION
BUT GERMAN WILL TRY TO
BECOME THE CHAMPION.
A mere man is starting out on
talking test. He is taking a bold
plunge into woman’s field.
His name is Horaz, and he is
German actor. Horaz threatens to
talk forty-eight hours consecutively
and to break Miss Kitty Charlaye’s
non-stop talk record, which now
stands at forty-three hours flat, says
the New York Times,
Herr Horaz may talk for forty
eight hours. Men ride bicycles for
days at a time around stuffy little
bowls. And not so long ago dancers
went in for marathons, some of which
lasted several days. Then there are
the fllibusterers.
But if Herr Horaz talks for forty
eight hours there probably will arise
a number of Kitty Chalayes to re¬
trieve woman’s lost title. For the

Pains
Very Severe
"I suffered from womanly
troubles which grow worse
and worse as the months
went by," says Mrs. L. H.
Cantrell, of R. T. D. 9, Gaines¬
ville, Georgia.
"1 frequently had very
severe pains. These wore so
bad that 1 was forcad to go
to bed and stay there. It
seemed to me my back would
come in two.
CARDUI
For Famals Troubles
“I taught school tor a
n-htle, hut my health was so
bad I would have to stay out
sometimes. This wsnt on till
I got so bad 1 didn’t know
what to do.
“One day I read about the
merits of Cardul, and as I
had some friends who had
been helped by it, I thought
I would try it I began to
got better attar I had taken
half a bottle. I decided to keep
on trial and give It a thorough
and I did. I took to
all about 12 bottles and now
I am perfectly well. 1 do
not suffer any pain and can

At All Druggists’ if
speech centre in the brain of a wo¬
man is appreciably larger than that in
the brain of a man, and it is more eas¬
ily excited. Broca's convolution, ac¬
cording to the physicians, is more
highly developed in woman than in
man.
For this reason, they say, women
talk more and faster than men. The
female of the ape also chatters often
er and faster than the male.
Broca’s convolution is the third fold
of the brain. It takes the name from
the French surgeon who first explor¬
ed it. The speech centre lies to the
front and, ordinarily, to the left side
of the brain.
Not only do women talk faster than
men, but the average rate of speed of
speech in both sexes increases with
time. For instance, stenographers'
counts indicate that the speaker of
today averages more words to the
minute than speakers of ten years
ago.
Although there is a greater amount
of statistics on the speed rates of pub
lie speakers than on those of private
conversationalists, conservation pro¬
ceeds at a more rapid rate than speech
making. Conversation gushes like a
fountain from the speech centre, while
the formal discourse is poured out
carefully, like liquor from a carafe,
About a 175 words a minute is the
average conservational rate, Mme.
Galli-Curi, in her divorce trial, talked
at this rate. Her conversational
word rate may reach more than 200
a minute. One hundred and fifty
words a minute is the general rate for
public speaking today. Ten years ago
it was 130 words. The conversational
rate probably has gone up similarly.
Perhaps Hilly Sunday holds the
American record for rapid-fire speak¬
ing. He works at a speed of 205
words a minute. The late William
Jennings Bryan was one of America’s
most strenuous speakers. His clear,
silver, unbroken stream flowed on at
the rate of 200 words each minute.
Most men who attempt any such
high rate become entangled in their
words. Theodore Roosevelt was such
a man. He was a very slow speaker.
He spoke about 110 words a minute.
His voice cracked and broke into
squeaky tones when he allowed his en¬
thusiasm to hurry him into a faster
tempo.
William Howard Taft and Charles
Evans Hughes both speak about 120
words a minute. This was the rate
of the late President Warren G. Har¬
den. Woodrow Wilson, a man of
much more nervous temperament,
spoke 140 words a minute.
Scientists attribute the increase in
the speech rate of the present genera¬
tion to the fact that this is a day of
specialists in which men wo know
their ground thoroughly have a hold
on a vast terminology.
Consequently a greater flow of lan¬
guage ensues. Men are regarded as
inefficient in small talk and, until they
acquire an intimate and more or less
profound understanding of some spe¬
cial subject, they remain comparative¬
ly inarticulate. It is small talk which
has developed the speech convolution
in the brains of woman.
Woman developed the habit of talk¬
ing through long necessity. An enor¬
mous background of tradition lies be¬
hind the sometimes disconcerting fact
of a woman’s prattle.
The development of Broca’s convo¬
lution is a story continued from pre¬
historic times. It was back in the dim
ages (which were no doubt vivid
at that remote time) that wo¬
acquired the habit of talking
Man was a creature of freedom and
little responsibility. It was his privi¬

Stained Wall Of
Church Creating
Miracle Rumors
NEW YORK.—Visitors by the thou¬
sands are flocking to St. Martin’s Ro¬
man Catholic Church at Central Park,
a hamlet near here and there is talk
of making the little whitewashed
building a shrine church.
A stain on the plaster wall, the vis¬
itors say, has assumed the shape of
a madonna and child. They point out
light spot at her throat as the
halo above the child's head, a cross
held by the child and a halo appear¬
ing above the Virgin’s head.
“The Rev. Daniel H. Dyer, pastor
of the church, is seeking an explana¬
tion of how the stain assumed this
shape. “I see no more than any one
does,” he said, “but certainly the
image of the Christ Child is clear.’’
Some of the parishioners say the
details are becoming more distinct
with the passing days. One sugges¬
tion is that the stain itself was a nat¬
result of exposure to storm when
the building was under contsruction
a year ago, but why the stain should
assume such a shape is mystifying.
supernatural element figures
largely in the parishioners' discus¬
sions. Already among the numer¬
visitors an cripples and invalids
for miraculous eures.

WALTER L. MAIN'S CIRCUS COMING
TO CAMILLA ON WEDNESDAY, NOV. 4TH
Arrangements were made today for
•the appearance of the Walter L. Main
shows in Camilla, Wednesday, Nov.
14, now in its 46th year, is attracting
a great deal of interest among the
lovers of the dear old “white tops.”
“During the almost half a century
the Walter L. Main Shows has been
on the road,” said L. C. Gillette, the
general contracting agent, “it has
grown and prospered until today the
equipment and paraphernalia has set
a standard by which many other or¬
ganizations are patterned. Walter
L. Main, early in his career as a show¬
man, adopted a platform of honesty
and square dealing with the public.
This together with a policy of decency
and cleanliness has enabled him to
reach the zenith in his field.”
A special train of double length
railroad cars will bring the big show
here. The paraphernalia and equip¬
ment represent an expenditure of
Value of Wilson Dam
Over Sixty Million
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Wilson
dam at Muscle Shoals has a produc¬
tive value of $61,000,000, Maj. M. C.
Tyler, army district engineer at the
project said yesterday in a statement
analysing the commercial worth of
that soetion. 'He fixed its cost,'with¬
out the transformer station at $46,
000,000 of which $9,600,000 was de¬
ducted as going for navigation bene¬
fits.
“If the low water capacity of Wil¬
son dam is devoted to operation of
nitrate plants or other strictly local
market,” said Maj. Tyler, "* * *
probably the dam would not produce
more than 400,000,000 kilowatt hours
per annum and a comparison * * *
would fix the value at about $13,600,
000 or about one-third of what is in¬
vested in it for power purposes.
“On the other hand if operated in
connection with the government-own¬
ed steam plants * * * it seems
certain that within five years the
two plants can dispose of 860,000,000
kilowatt hours of primary power at
a cost around 3.4 per cents per khw.”
He pointed out the estimates took
no account of sale of secondary pow
Hugh L. Cooper, supervising engi¬
neer of the dam, also issued a state¬
ment relating details of construction
and declaring the engineers would be
satisfied “for a lot of grief we have
endured” if experience showed “we
have built well.”
Suspect Freed, Prohi
Indicted, Judge Puzzled
EATONTON, Ga.—The legal lum¬
inaries of Putnam County are per¬
plexed, the prohis indignant and
Judge Joe ;Duke have settled down
to unravel a legal tangle unknown in
this county before. Dynamite and
the recent Grand Jury are all to
blame.
It all started this way. Sheriff Joe
Walton and his staff of deputies set
out one bright Sunday morning to
capture John Pleas, suspected of be¬
ing a distiller of corn whiskey. Down
in the Oconee River swamps, accord¬
ing to Sheriff Waiton, Pleas was
caught at work operating a monster
still.
The stock of whiskey and beer
were placed on the still and destroyed
by the sheriff, who set off a charge
of dynamite. Pleas was brought to
town and gave a cash bond, pending
action by the Grand Jury which con¬
vened this week.
Then the Grand Jury started work.
The case against Pleas was called.
Sheriff Walton presented the evidence.
A no bill was the result, and the case
against Pleas dismissed.
But the Grand Jury wasn’t through.
They came out with an indictment
against L. M. Pennington, ex-mayor,
church worker and strong advocate
of prohibition, for selling to Sheriff
Walton the dynamite, used to destroy
the still. This action was taken un¬
der an old war-time measure con¬
cerning the sale of explosives.
Mr. Pennington was hailed into
court. He refused to plead guilty and
protested against the action of the
Grand Jury.
When the news leaked out, Pen¬
nington’s friends were indignant, as
well as the advocates of prohibition
and said something about it being a
comeback because of his activities
against moonshiners.
Now Judge Parks is wondering
what he is going to do.
There is some talk of carrying both
eases to the Federal court for adjudi¬
cation.

There are upwards of 500 men
and women and 200 horses with the
show; almost ten acres of tents; a
herd of elephants, a caravan of camels
from the great desert. The menag¬
erie will be fully up to the high stan¬
dard of excellency maintained by Wal¬
ter L. Main in other years. The per¬
formance this season will see scores
of added European features and novel¬
ties. The champion riders, acrobats,
aerialists, gymnasts and equilibrists
of Continental Europe and America
will be seen.
There will be two performances at
2 and 8 p. m. the doors opening an
hour earlier to permit a visit to the
zoological collection or to enjoy a con¬
cert by the military band. An im¬
mense street parade will be seen on
the downtown streets at noon on show
day.

For the Information
of the Public
The strike which has been ordered by the General Committee of the order of Railroad Telegraph¬
ers among its members employed by the Atlantic Coast Line is the culmination of the refusal of that
organization to accept a decision by the United States Railroad Labor Board denying the demands of
the organization for a general increase in wages and for annual vacation of two weeks with pay.
Throughout the negotiations which led up to the present situation the Atlantic Coast Line has scru¬
pulously complied both with the letter and the spirit of the law and with the orders of the Labor Board
which is the agency created and authorized by Congress for the settlement of disputes between the
railroads and organizations of their employees.
The Order of Railroad Telegraphers agreed readily enough to submit the case to the Railroad Labor
Board for settlement but refused to accept the decision made by the Board after exhaustive investiga¬
tion and has ordered a strike because the decision which they had asked the Board to make did not
satisfy them.
The Labor Board decided that the demands of the organization for a general increase of wages
and for a vacation rule were not justified. It instructed both parties to look into the question of elimi¬
nating inequalities in the pay of some positions. For this purpose conferences were held by the Atlan¬
tic Coast Line with representatives of the Telegraphers in an effort to reach an amicable settlement of
this issue, remanded by the Labor Board, and the Atlantic Coast Line, after negotiations lasting for a
period of five weeks, made an offer to adjust the rates of pay of a substantial number of positions in¬
volved.
This offer was refused by representatives of the Telegraphers who on September 16th broke off ne¬
gotiations with the statement that they would not further discuss the question of removing inequali¬
ties but would demand again a general increase and vacation for all men, both of which demands had
been found by the Labor Board to be unwarranted.
When the Atlantic Coast Line suggested that the matter should be referred again to the Labor
Board in accordance with directions by the Board that this be done if no settlement was reached the
representatives of the organization refused to join in such action. ’
The Atlantic Coast immediately Line, therefore, informed the Labor Board of its failure to reach a settlement
and the Labor Board assumed jurisdiction over the controversy and ordered both parties
before it at Chicago for a hearing on October 9th. Officers of the Atlantic Coast Line appeared as or¬
dered, but the Telegraphers’ organization declined to comply with the Board’s instructions and did not
put in an appearance. In view of this the Labor Board decided to send three members to the property
to investigate the whole situation; one member representing the public, who is Vice-Chairman of the
United States Railroad Labor Board, one representing the organizations and one representing the rail¬
roads. This section of the Board conducted hearings at Wilmington on October 12th and 13th.
Prior to this time a strike ballot had been distributed among the members of the organization At
the Wilmington hearing would representatives of the organization informed the Labor Board members’that
while the Telegraphers allowed co-operate with the Board in making the proposed investigation, such co¬
operation would not be to interfere with the program which the organization had mapped out
for handling the matter on their own account.
The representatives of the Labor Board visited a number of places on the property getting the facts
