Atlanta, Dec. 16-Georgia's good sbfp of, ?tate is stripping her decks for action lu the event of a possible bat tle over tho effort of Sae Louisville and Nashville railroad to build a line parallel with the Western and At lantic. Attorney General Clifford Walker, after a conference with Gio governor, has stated through Gielr representa tive in tho legislature and adopted ti ie policy of protecting Gie state's road from pallable, every right under the law will bo invoked in tho'state's in terest. . The governor, appreciating the tact Gmt the regular work o* the attorney general's office is more than any one lawyer can perform, Cms at tho re? qiest of Mr. Walker anounccd that associate counsel will be named. The governor has selected ex-jus tice of the Supreme Court Horace M.

Neglected Animals 3fay Become Car rlcrs of Infect iou to .Farm Ani mals. - Tho dog in Gio country ls a useful nnd' pleasant adjunct to the farm If ho ls properly controlled rvnd cared for, hut when neglected may readily be como a carrier of disease to stock, in addition.to gaining opportunity to kill sheep and destroy gardens and other property. Dog ordinances, as a gen eral rule, haye been Intended chiefly to curb the dog's power pf doing i.iarm by attacking, biting, killing or run ning sheen or stock. The part that ho plays aa a carrier of di?ases to animals only recently has been recog nized,'according to tho zoologists Di the department, who believe that when i1?!? is better understood; rural V "durance's and . lawo whkli lessen this danger will gain the 'support o? Gio community.. Of Gie-diseases carried to stock by dogs, . the foot-and-mouth discaso ?B probably of the greatest interest at thia timo. In this case the dog acts as a mechanical carrier, of infection. The dbg wihieh runs across an infect ed farm easily may carry in tho dirt on his feet the. virus of .this ino3t contagious of animal diseases to oth er farms and'Gius spread Gie disease to tho neighboring herds. In infect ed localities it is absolutely essential, therefore, to keep all dogs chained and never to allow i'iem oft the farm .except on'leash? There are, however, many . .other maladies lu the spread bf which tho dog takes an acGve part. In Bulletin 200' of the department, "The Dog as a Carrier of Parasites and Disease," it ls pointed oat thai rabies, hydatid. ringworm, favus, double-pored tape worm, roundworm, and tongue worm, are. oftpn conveyed to human beings in this way. It occasionally happens.' also Gist Gio dog "helps fleas and^tickr; in transmitting bubonic- plague or tho deadly spotted fever. Hydatid disease is caused by tho presence. in the liver, kidneys, bram, lungs, and other organs of a bladder worm or larval -tapeworm. Bladder worms are often as largo as an orange and may, be larger. A dog which- is allowed to feed on carrion, or the raw viscera of slaughtered animals may eat all or part of a bladder worm containing:numerous tapeworm heads. These tapeworm (heads, develop into omalljs'?guientGd tapeworms In. Gie inr tooGnes of Gie deg. The tapeworms In turn develop egga which are pass ed out In Gio excrement of the dog. They are . spread broadcast on grass and . in " drinking water whero nai rn al s can very well,eat them and thus becomo infected.'

VERY WOMAN Notable Performance Will Ile Seen Here Soon. Henry W. Savage's production of the dramatic epcctaclo, "Everywo man" comes to Tho Andorson Decem ber 29th. It is a play with a purpo?o, wlt?.H a deep underlying basis of phil osophy and while tc a certain estent didactic the pictorial element, tho cos tumes, lights and ether adjuncts ot the modern stago have combined to adU to its effectiveness. The play is presented upon a huge.scale and' ls one of Henry W. Savage's most lux urious productions. It io said that ho considers it -his most notablo con tribution to fie American ?tago. Tho play came >to him SB a discarded and discredited rejected manuscript. Ho read it; recognized its beauties; pro duced it; and oxpended sixty thous and dollars in a production which might have had a life of but ono per formance. Over four million people have witnessed "Everywoman" and it is still one cf the most potent box?, o lilt; e attractions in this epointry. A special orchestra accompanies, -the organization to render the impressive score wu?ch was written by George Whitefield Chadwick. The cast con tains a score of .veil' known names; iFlyinp Across Atlantic Is Now Easy. In the January American j Magazlno ?Merle Crowell quotes Henry .Wood house as saying that a transatlantic flight in on aeroplane is now an easy ?hiatter? Mr. Woodhouse -is governor of the Aero club of America''and- mem ber of tire conference committee on national preparedness.
