Mrs. Barron was being buried. ana
the former declared the phvsicia II

wouldn't be so bad If il wasn't for his

The converse ton at that time was
given by Dumas in this way:
DR.. Barron and ] were standing
beside the grave, and Just as the cas-
ket was lowered | remarked to him.
Doc, this is pretty bad on YOU
Without looking up. he replied. Yes,
it's pretty hard and then he added

Gil Committee Decide Unani-

When the Joint Traffic Committee
Of the city Council and the Chamber
or Commerce met At the City Hail
Tuesday it was unanimously agreed
that some law must be devised to stop
The parking Of automobiles in down
town streets.
A singular fact is that while the
contemplated new laws will hit auto
mobile owners harder than any other
class Of citizens, every member Of the
committee owns at least one automo-
bile and several OF them a whole
string. They are John w. Grant
chairman. Forrest Adair. Wilmer L.
Moore. W. G. Humphrey. A. r. Col
cord and W. II. kiSer.
Entrance to Stores Blocked.
They considered the conditions Of
Whitehall. Peachtree. Marietta and
other central streets where doctors
and other men ride down in their cars
in the morning and leave them there
all day. 1t was stated that II was
impossible 10 enter some banks and
many stores from the street because
Of the machines lined in front OF
them.
W. G. Humphrey made the most
definite suggestion, a law creating
zone embracing the center OF the city
within which no machine would be
allowed to he parked. lie would per
NIT automobiles with Chauffeurs to
stand on the street within this zone
only five minutes at time.
Though agreeing with the others
that the automobiles were the chief
offenders against easy moving traf-
fic Mr. Adair took a rap at careless
pedestrians and the "out- Of date
