femille Flammarion. It is not snowing on Mars, according to Camille Flammarion, France j veteran star gazer, who has taken up the scientific cudgels against American and British astronomers who thus explain the reappearance of the vast white spot on the planet. M. Flammarion says it is summer now on Mars, and also ridicules the idea that Martians have found a new method of signalling the earth. The savant contends the spot is merely a plateau higher than Thibet, which has not been seen since 1870, due to atmospheric obscurity.

Conservation Men Prepare Exhibit for State Fair INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 1. The state department of conservation Is preparing an exhibit for the Indiana state fair, which will give visitors a comprehensive idea of the work the five

divisions of this department is doing. The division of entomlogy will show a hundred or so mounted insects tha prey on the farmers' fruit and cereal crops, together with specimens of their ravages and the best known methods of control and eradication. In the geological division the exhibit will consist of oil shales and oil extracted from them; kaolin, brick, pottery and fire clays, sands and gravels for road building and construction work, mineral properties used in the manufacture of cement, samples of coals from each of the workable coal beds in the state together with the analysis of each coaL The forestry division exhibit will consist of the various woods grown in Indiana. The state was once nationally known for the superiority of its hardwoods. Today it is nearly denuded of first-class virgin timber. Land erosion, washed and barren hillsides,

unfertile soil and no protection to the headwaters of streams resulting in lack of control over devastating floods

have followed in the wake of the vanishing timber. This exhibit will endeavor to impress the need of a con

structive forestry policy to insure a future timber supply. Will Show Baby Fish. The division of fish and game will

show baby fish propagated at the four state hatcheries and of which nearly 750,000 were planted this season in restocking Indiana lakes and streams. There also will be young quail, pheasants, wild turkeys, Canada wild geese, skunk, 'possum, muskrat, etc., raised at the state game experiment station. The display of the division of lands and waters will demonstrate the need of keeping our streams open and free of pollution, and of protecting water levels to insure adequate water for the future. The needs of state parks will be shown as recreational centers and playgrounds, and it will be further demonstrated that state parks are pay

ing financial Investments. - Competent oeoDle will be In charge of the exhibit

Women of Georgia Given Right to Primary Vote (By Associated Press) ATLANTA, Ga., Sept, L Women of Georgia have a right to vote in the state-wide primary on Sept, 8, as well ajp the coming general election, according to an opinion submitted to Governor Dorsey today by R. A. Denny, state's attorney general. The attorney general held that women could not register because they cannot take the oath prescribed for

male citizens, but that they could not be prevented from voting because the 19th amendment to the federal constitution distinctly declares that "the right of citizens of the United States shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex." v , j Attorney General Denny ruled that the constitution of Georgia, the state registration and all other laws conflicting with this second of the federal constitution were repealed and made null.
