WOODWARD HOLDS
UP 100000 ALARM
SYSTEM CONTRACT

Mayor Woodward said today he was,
holding up for investigation an ordinances
permitting the cutting of streets TO lay
the conduit for the new 100000 fire and
police alarm system. This is anotheri
moral obligation similar to the crerna-
tory contract to be paid in annual $4,000
nstallments.
While Mayor Woodward has made no
direct fight against it he has said he did
not wholly approve it,
'G don't know whether | will approve
this ordinance" he said today. II am
determined that the streets OF Atlanta
shall not be cut up for the laying OF
pipes as they have been in the past. This
ordinance looks to me as though it would
permit the company to dig trenches in all
the streets at one time

WAR ON
SMOKE EVIL IS
BEGUN
Special Counsel Engaged, and,
Inspector Says He Means
Business. j

Renewed war on the smoke nuisance
today began in earnest when Smoke In
spector Poole made preparations to
docket fully a dozen cases against al (
legged violators of the smoke ordinance,
and by direction of the smoke COM
mission, engaged Attorney William II.
Arnaud, OF the firm of Arnaud & Done
hoo, to assist the city attorney in the
prosecution.
Two railroads are among the ac-
cused, and their officials will be serv-
ed. None Of the names OF the alleged
offenders have been made public.
Inspector Poole has the evidence all
in hand, and a score OF cases will bs
docketed within the next two DAYS for
trial before Recorder Broyles.
Inspector Poole has been quietly at
work on the smoke situation since hiss
appointment as inspector several
months ago, and has been conducting
a ca1n0aign Of education. giving all OF
those involved ample opportunity to
remedy the nuisance and save them
selves from being ar.Hlgned in court.
The inspector, while he manifested
dislike to discuss the matter before the
cases were docketed, said he had met
with some success, but had found II
necessary to resort to the strong arm
of the law in dealing with many of the
Offenders
An honest attempt at reform, he said.
had been made oy smoke dispensers in
several instances.
Il have tried education. and now I'm
going to put 1t up to the courts" said
the inspector.
He called at the police station short
ly before noon, anC obtained service
blanks and subpenas with which to cite
the offenders to court and summon wit
nesses.
Inspector Poole himself will be the
star witness, as he has taken careful
and scientific observation of all of the
smoke stacks in the city, and has kept
a complete record of those emitting
dense smoke In violation Of law.

Dan Echols.
Youngsters, Unaware of Per-
feCtionS, Wonder What All
the Fuss Is About.

Tiny Emerson Pruitt and timer Dan
Echols wondered why they were un-
dressed in the middle Of the day, stood
up in outlandish poses, and had their
pictures taken in very decided negligee.
They didn't realize, as their parents
did, and as you will, maybe, when you
see them, that they are youngsters with
remarkable physiques.
Emerson and Dan are today's entries
as the most perfect babies in Atlanta.
Both Dan and Emerson are modestly
unaware of their perfections They
couldn't understand what the photogra-
pher wanted.
Who's at man." asked Emerson.
What e want?" asked Dan.
Their respective mothers explained
to them that they were wonders.
Neither believed 1t, but with an air Of
condescending, obliging eccentric pho
tographers and incomprehensible moth
ers, they displayed their unconscious
charms to the best advantage.
Emerson Pruitt is the son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. G. N Prutt, $40 Central avenue.
and Dan Echols is the son Of Mr. and
Mrs. A. NJ. Echole, 769 North Boulevard.
Adniring friends first suggested to
their parents that they would be worthy
children to enter the perfect baby"
contest. 1t was very easy to get the
parents to believe that.
Neither the friends nor the parents
were wrong. Emerson and Dan, enter
ing the race, have made 1t much more
difficult to work out a decision as to
who should be awarded the palm.

ROUGL|N SOUNDS
TUBERCULOSIS
WARMING
Physician Declares Atlanta Is
Placing Itself in Jeopardy
From White Plague.

ATLANTA. while 1t is no worse than
-,ar,, other cities in regard to a death
cs.a due TO consumption, is slowly but
.,rsrv placing itself in the class of the
ware dangerous cities" said DR.. L. c.
Pougblin today, following his sensa-
-,ora, and highly instructive lecture
hatore the Jewish alliance on Sunday.

The millionaire building his palace

In explanation let me say this; No

germs Of this dread disease permeate
everything The clothes washed by the
,ag-ass can carry the deadly tubercu

sxpened from the patient himself.
Both Glasses Here.
orrbercu,ars can easily be divided
into two classes-the safe and the un-
safe Atlanta has both kinds in abun-
dance The unsafe tubercular is the
man who expels his sputum promiscu
ouslv-the man who sends his washing
TO A common laundress-the man who
in ignorance, probably-is willing to
house himself in insanitary quarters
in short the man who cares little if his
neghbor contracts the dread disease.
There is slight hope that this brand
Of consumptive can be prevented from
becoming a deadly public menace save
through legislation. I suggest preven-
tative measures to check his activities,
such as segregation, separate housing
and that sort Of thing.
Atlanta is, as I have said. not worse
than other cities, but it is not a credit
TO general municipalities in things deal
ing with tuberculosis. Sanitation here
reaches ali heights from the sublime to
the ridiculous. I most strongly urge
that people here submit to medical eX-
animation long before they become
hopeless. 1t is a known fact that tu-
berculosis shows in many ways long
before an analysis of sputum tells the
deadly story.
Danger Comes Quietly.
The danger of contraction of the dis
ease comes quietly and without herald

on. They should allow no one to kiss
them-not even their families Tuber-
culosis germs can be transmitted by the
mouth easier than any other way.
Hands should be ~ kept immaculate.
Women should see nat their hair is
washed regularly once a week.
I can not give complete index to
the care that should ne exercised by
At.antanS in preventing the spread of
tuberculosis, but with ordinary rules

salve all over itself. Through a mis-
understanding yesterday. part Of the
hikers took the road to Overlea, a Bal
timore suburb, and were given orders
to remain there during the night. The
main body, headed by General Jones,
took another road. planning also to go
to Overlea, but the general suddenly
changed her plans and led her follow
ers into Baltimore, without officially
notifying the warriors at Overlea.
Called General" Jones Down.
This morning Colonel" Craft got the
general on the telephone and told her
that 1t was a mean, mean trick and
that the only way the little leader
could square herself would be to hus-
tie to Overlea with the pilgrims, who
reached there last night and once
again walk into Baltimore.
But the general remarked some
thing about being tired, hung up the
receiver. and took another nap. The
colonel" then called the little band of
tailender mixers and started them along
the five-mile road to Baltimore.

permitting General" Jones to hand

I'VE aren't the worrying kind. We
