CITIZENS TAKE UP
STREET REFORMS
Regarding and Repaving Of
PeaChtree and Ivy To Be
Pushed by Owners.

With patience exhausted by the slow
progress in street improvements made
by the city, property owners have taken
upon themselves the task Of making
Two notable developments-th regrad-
ing and repaving Of Peachtree and Ivy
streets.
WORK was begun today on the widen
ing Of Peachtrce street from Ellis street
to Fifteenth street 1t will be an so
foot street The plan is to get all the
property holders to donate the land for
the widening and majority of the
owners have begun work to get the
consent Of the others
The widening Of the street from Har-
ris street TO Baker street is already un
der way. The council has adopted
fixed building line but unless the
property owners agree to abide by it
there is no way to enforce It.
Two New Buildings Out of Line.
Albert Howell has let the contract
for 100000 apartment house at the
corner Of Peachtree street and Ponce
form to the new property line w. l..
Peel has begun the erection of a new
building on the old line at the corner
of PeaChtree street and Merritts ave
nue.. Both Of these men are anxious
for the widening and they have Joined
with the others in endeavorng to ar
range the matter
The only other serious obstacle Is the
Masonic temple at the corner of Peach
tree and cain streets. 1t will cost n
considerable sum to adjust this build
ing to a new property line.

Councilman Clarence Haverty. who are
among the leaders in the movement de-
clared today that the project of widen

Every HUDSON a Success

Such body of experts render mistakes next to
impossible. A dozen men check every move of
each individual.
Your knowledge of American automobile
history tells you that every HUDSON. car of
each model has been a brilliant success.
There is not the slightest question about that
The secret of such constantly increasing quality
as has been shown each year in HUDSON auto
mobiles is due to the fact that the best engineer
ing brains in the world are used in their building
We regard it as the most essential part of an
organization. FOrty-eight experts are bound to
think faster, are bound to create more new
features are bound to build a more thoroughly
proportioned car than any one man can ever
hope to do.
No one mans personality, no one mans
experience, can overshadow that of either of the
other AZ except in the details which he knows
better than the others know.
Such is the pedigree of the New HUDSON
Cars. 1t is nothing short of romance of enpi-
neerng achievement. No other automobile ever
so completely represented what many trained
men could do. None other ever bore such unmis-
taxable evidences of advancement and quality.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-08-09

The HUDSON Company has millions at stake.
The future of the HUDSON will depend entirely
on this cars performance.
Howard E Coffin, now the leading American
designer, has all his present prestige and future
fame tied up to the Car which represents his
idea of perfection.
And 48 engineers in the front rank of this
industry have all agreed that the HUDSON
"37 represents their highest accomplishment.
The future of all of them depends on this cars
making good.
There was never a car on which so many men
had so much at stake as the HUDSON Staff has
on this. There was never car of which so many
big men said, There is no part of this car which
we know how to build better"
Consider these facts when you read the claims
we make for this, the latest of the HUDSON
cars.

Worked Two Years

The result of two years work-the master
work of all these mems shown in the New
HUDSON cars
As the experimental cars were completed,
they were sent with a corps of experts and
drivers who knew all road conditions, over every
imaginable kind of road.
The cars were tried out last winter over roads
practically impossible to other vehicles Snow
and mud and the worst weather did not interrupt
these tests.
Officers Of the company rode on these test
trips They demanded more emphatically than
any owner, can ever demand, that the quality of
the New HUDSON cars should be thoroughly
known to them.
The Allegheny mountains became our test
ing ground.
No road was too rough, too steep, too danger
Gus or too long for these cars to be driven over
at maximum speed.
A driver-winner of many road races in Amer
ica and abroad-who knows no fear-drove at
top speed up rough mountain paths, through
bottomless roads of mre and over every con-
Ceivable surface that a vehicle can be sent, to
prove that the car has the stamina, the power
and the comfort to do the work and do it with
minimum fatigue to the passengers

They Are Specialists Every One

No one man can ever hope to know as much
about automobiles as these men, working in
unison, know
Each is stronger for being associated with
SO many other experts
Each is specialist. Each possesses a know-
edge and an ability not possessed by his
fellows.
In the same way that base ball manager
IN building strong team chooses specialists
who excel at certain kinds of play-at pitch
ing, catching, batting, and base running-so
Howard f. Coffin, four years ago, set out to
organize the strongest body of automobile eng-
ncers to be had
The world was his field If man had
shown that he could get more power out of a
motor than any other man had been able to
get or ii one proved he could simplify work
Others had more Crudely begun, he was induced
to Join this organization

about automobile chassis designing but who know
everything about creating beautiful body lines

TRAPPING A SOLDIER Wild MAN

nooa 4 force Of natives dug 4 pit twen-
ty feet long by fourteen deep. When
ready 1t was covered over the same as
II to catch u tiger. A few yards to
the north and south Of the pit we ar
ranged nooses, which led over the
limbs Of trees. and by sundown we
felt sure Of our man II he came that
way. Two soldiers and three natives
were hidden near the pit to act as
sentinels and give the alarm. and all
was quiet in the camp and village at
the usual hour.
At 2 o'clock in the morning We were
turned out by an alarm from the SEN
tinels, and our whole force at once
hastened to the pit. The wild man
had come down the ravine and fallen
into the pit. Notwithstanding its
depth he was out again in a moment.
and but for the trap on the north side
we should have lost him. He ran into
that. was caught by the leg and sus-
pended in the air, and when We ar
rived he was screaming and shouting
and cursfng in way to make ones
hair stand up.
He was defenseless, but for a long
time no one dared to go near him. He
made the most tremendous efforts to
escape, and but for our throwing
noosed ropes over his head and draw
ing them tight he would soon have re-
gained his liberty. When we finally
had him fast and secure he had tired
himself out and was a pitiable object
to behold. He had been heard to use
a few English words, but no one had
heard him make sentences before. His
speech came back to him as We stood
around him, and he used many Of the
commands given soldier at drill.
We remained in camp four days aft
er capturing the wild man, hoping to
subdue him and make him presentable
at headquarters, but he was worse
than a wild beast. Not q stitch of
clothing could be kept on him. and he
had to be bound hand and foot all the
time. He preferred raw meat to cook
ed, and when fed he would growl and
roar as II the sight of meat put him in
a frenzy.
Tho surgeon with US could make
nothing Of his case, and we finally got
a cart and started for home to turn the
poor fellow over to the proper authori-
ties. On the second day Of the journey
the cart broke down, and as it did so
the wild man burst his bonds and e.
capped into the Jungle. We put in ten
days hunting for him. but got no trace
and finally abandoned all pursuit.
Six months later he was seen once OF
twice in the foothills to the north, but
no pursuit was organized, and II not
dead he is today wandering about the
forests and juhgles like 4 wild beast.
How he could have e1caped death
during the two years I write Of is a
singular thing, as the country was in
tested with poisonous serpents and
savage beasts.

"GOOO CLEAR THROUGH

Writers Of dialect verse are numer-
GUS, but so much of their writing is
tainted with the slang Of the day and
presented in such a strained style that
one Is often at loss to know what Is
meant by some OF the words and
phrases, and SO much time has to be
spent in deciphering It that the charm
1t may have possessed is gone before
one realizes that he is reading bit of
humor. The writers Of good, free
flowing dialect, clear and concise, easy
to understand and true to nature, may
be counted on the fingers ends. OF
this class James Whitcomb Riley has
stood well at the head Of the promi-
nent in the world of letters. His DO
ems when delivered in a style such ns
Sol Smith Russell or Riley himself
would deliver them make them the

dette said: "Riley is good clear

not caustic. 1t is pure and manly and

The present generation does not
know it-cannot know-the greatness
Of James Whitcomb Riley as a reader,
He developed that talent as his genius
grew in poetry, and for years before
he found public to enjoy his books
he had charmed multitudes with read
ings from his own work. In fact, this
outlet was for him most natural
one, because he was born an actor as
well as poet. His imagination drift
ed easily into dramatic channels, and
what he saw and heard as boy
among the homely, wholesome people
Of Indiana he later transmitted into
poetry and unconsciously began to i'm
personate the characters that marshall
