(Copyright, 1928. by Star Co.) Unless Governor llardmnn interferes, Georgia will send a woman to the electric chair. The governor feels that the woman . is guilty, basing his opinion partly on his study of phrenology. The woman may be guilty of murder, but should Georgia be guilty of killing a woman? That is the important oucs-j tion. Phrenology and its bumps are often deceptive. fiermnnv is building, seeretlv, , ' , ... . an airplane such as Henry 1'onl described and planned to build, i V. ; more tlinn a year ago. j The German plane, 130 feet ! , ' . , wide, carries 12 high-power en- j tines,- nnd has sleeping quar ters for 33 people. The 12 motors are of British construction "Jupiter motors" and this first real "giant plane," called' ','TJornior 10," will run between Germany and South America, stopping at the Azores, attaining a speed of 150 miless an hour, and carry ing fuel for a 2500-niile flight. A real flying machine. High finance does not lack courage, putting the interest rate on money to per cent Thursday. , ' ' The legal limit even for pawn brokers is'12 per cent, ahd tliey have to take care of the old uverenal and keep the moths nut of it after making the loan. -- These usurious profits are ue primarily to action taken by the Federal lieservc. Hank ers follow suit to make all they can for stockholders. And Wall Street banks charge on regular business loans, having nothing to do with slock speculation, a rate that is plain usury and against the law. All this ought to interest President Ooolidge, his Federal Uescrve board being responsi ble for a condition thnt makes this conn-try ridiculous in the eyes of European countries that manage finances honestly.

Interesting news for farmers thai comes from the Santa Fo railroad via G. W. Read.
