GEORGIA CELEBRATES 200TH ANNIVERSARY Last of Thirteen Colonies to Be Settled, Washington. ? Georgia has been cel ebrating its two-hundredth anniver sary, and as a birthday memento the l'ost Ofllce department has Issued a special threo-cent stamp bearing the portrait of Gen. James Edward Ogle thorpe, who landed with his followers at the present site of Savannah, on February 12 or 13, 1733. The latter date has been the generally accepted one. Georgia and Savannah are dealt with In a bulletin from the National Geo graphic society quoting a communica tion from Ralph A. Graves. "The last of the thirteen orlginul colonies to be settled, Georgia, with an area of more than 50,000 square miles, Is the largest state east of the Mississippi," says the bulletin. "In this particular she is truly a nation In herself, exceeding in size the republic of Austria, or Czechoslovakia, Greece, or Portugal, auy one of the six Central American republics, or any of the three Island republics of the Caribbean. She Is larger than England and Wales, or Belgium, the Netherlands, and Den mark combined. Variety of Products. "Eler situation on the Atlantic sea board and her diversity of elevation are such thnt of the nine distinct cll 'mate belts to be found In the United States proper, eight are encountered within her bounds, with the result that Bhe grows as great a vnrlety of agri cultural products as nny state In the Union. "Georgia's second city and chief port Is Savannnh. It is exceeded only by metropolitan and bustling Atlanta. It was where Savannnh now lies thnt James Edwnrd Oglethorpe, In 1733, es tablished the first settlement of the new colony named for his sovereign, George U. "There was a four-fold purpose ac tuating the founding of the Inst of the English colonies In America. The British government wns anxious to have a buffer Btate between the Caro lina-Virginia settlements to the north and the hostile Spaniards in Florida, and a 'shook absorber' for possible en croachments of the French from Louisiana.

Many girls and women wrote Miss Nurolskl for names of men whose offers of marriage she refused. the Unfortunate of other lands who were being persecuted for their re ligious convictions. 'The early settlers Included not only Englishmen, but Scottish High landers, German Lutherans (Salz burgers), Portuguese Jews, Swiss, and Pledmontese! "Like Augusta. Savannah Is steeped In truditlon, and historical association Is the visitor's comi?anlon wherever he goes. Here he finds two monu ments, the cornerstones of which were laid by Lafayette, one commemorating the Revolutionary hero, Gen. Na thanael Greene, and the other that gal lant Polish friend of liberty. Count Caslmlr Pulaski, who lost his life at the siege of the city In 1770. H?ro of Fort Moultrie. "Hard by is a third monument, to William Jasper, the hero whose dar ing exploit In replacing the fnllen col ors of the Revolutionary forces at Fort Moultrie in the face of a galling fire hns thrilled every American school boy. Jasper fell at Savannah with Pulaski In the siege of '79. 'it was from this flourishing sea port, 114 years ago, that the Savannnh made the llrst successful transatlan tic voyage in the history of steamshfp navigation, the passage to Liverpool requiring 25 days. "Three venerable structures in the heart of the Forest City, so named because of the massive, moss-festooned live oaks which line Its streets, at tract the attention of the historically minded? the Savannah theater, one of the. oldest playhouses In Airierlca, In wrfiicK practically all the stage stars In the more 'than a century of Its ex istence have appeared; Christ church, on the site of the original edifice where John Wesley, founder of Methodism, was once a rector and where he Is supposed to have established a Sun day school (still faa existence) some 50 years before Robert Ralkes started his 'first Sunday school In the world' at Gloucester, England; and the third a mellow old house, now the home <rt a venerable Savannah JuflsH In which General Sherman established his head quarters after he had completed his 'march to the sea.' "\Vhl!e Savannah derives much of Its delightful atmosphere from such associations, there Is another side to the city which Is equally arresting. It Is the world's greatest naval stores market and its miles of waterfront ac commodate shipping from all parts of the globe, especially vessels ?rhlch come for cargoes of cotton, turpentine and rosin. "There is aiso a manufacturing side to this, the oldest city In the state. One of the most Interesting of its Industrial establishments Is a sugar reflnefy, the only plant of Its kind between New Orleans nnd Baltimore, and therefore occupying a marketing advantago In an area covering 13 states."

Startling proof that at oms, smallest particles of matter, are really packets of electrical waves, has been obtained by bursting aluminum metal atoms. Tills feat has been achieved by Dr. M. A. Tuve and his colleagues, L. M. Hafstad and O. Dahl of the depart ment of territorial magnetism, Carne gie institute, Washington, who re ceived the $1,000 prize of the Amer ican Association for the Advancement of Science in 1931. Besides proving that matter Is really bundles of energy waves, confirmation of the existence of the newly discov ered elements "neuton," or "neutron." Also, they converted lithium, boron and other atoms into helium. """These amazing transformations of matter from one simple condition Into another were achieved by the use of ' the Van de Graaff type of electrical power producing machine, a marvelous American Invention from which It Is expected enormous electrical power can be obtained at a very small cost. The report of the Carnegie Institute scientists' work was made public in a lecture given by Doctor Tuve himself upon the subject of "Atomic Nucleus and High Voltage." The Van de Graaff apparatus In this case consisted of an aluminum hollow r sphere, In which a moving silk belt produced an electrical charge. When there are two such spheres, one charged positively, the other negative ly, n llghtnlng-llke flash passes be tween them. ['nsslng this spark or flash discharge through vacuum tubes It was possible to smash up the metnls under experi ment. Very fast protons or hydrogen nu cleus particles were shot at the lithium and other atoms. Aluminum similarly treated showed an amazing result The wave pf posi tive electrical particles or alpha par ticles penetrated Into the nucleus of the aluminum atoms Just as an outside water wave, If high enough, leaps across the wall and enters the waves of Inside tank.

Egypt, which grows cotton renowned the world over for Its excel lence, Is energetically going after some of the United States best markets in Europe. Reaching out Into fields where they scarcely have competed In the past, Egyptian cotton growers have dropped their prices and now offer serious com petition for their rivals In the south ern United States, long harassed by sagging prices, overproduction and the J boll weevil. Through' one European country j after another Egypt's Indefatigable j minister of finance, Ahmed Abdel Wa ham Pasha, has traveled In search of new and wider markets. And In most of them he successfully has persuaded big manufacturers to reduce or sup' plant their American supplies with the better quality long flbered Egyptian cotton. The depression has played Into Ah med Abdel Wahab's hands In thesa salesmanship tours. Suffering from exchange restrictions and other d 1 f 11 - culties, some of the European coun tries scarcely can pay cash for United States cotton. The Egyptian official offers them easy payment conditions and bartering arrangements. New Type of Hen Party Is Tried Out in Kansas Richmond, Kan. ?

Italy Make* Progress in Educational Reform The educatlonnl reforms Introduced by the Fascist government during the ten years pf lta existence are far reaching. It Is enough to read the history of Italy since 1815 to regard with Intense sympathy her struggle for nationhood, writes Howard It. Marrnro In Current History. After fighting for the right to be come u united nation for -more thnn fifty years she began her effort to build a nation from a heterogeneous population that was more than 75 per cent illiterate, with no money, no in dustry, no railroads and very limited natural resources. In spite of the shock of the Workl war and tho I jeries of economic and social dis turbances which followed, the Ital ians have reduced Illiteracy to 21 per cent, nnd they have created a school system which endows the new gen eration with energy of thought and will, nnd seeks to develop a culture that truly represents the manifold powers of the Italian race. Because Fascism exalts and. enobles those qualities which assure the i greatness of Italy, nnd since the prob lem of greatness Is above all a prob lem of education and culture, Mus solini has rightly defined fSentile's j educational reforms as "the most 1 Fascist of all the Fascist reforms." j * ^ To keep clean nnd healthy take T>*\ I IMoree'?
