Why Is This Racer Like
The Peachtree Special?"

1t will do no good to mention this
mans name the story has nothing
much to do with the man. anyhow. and
is just as good for being anonymous.
He lives on Peachtree street and
owns several motor cars. The other
day he made an addition to his collec-
tion, purchasing a long, rakish auto
mobile that seemed fashioned to work
out a weird dream OF the mechanic,
who turned all his attention to the ma
chinery and forgot about the passen-
gers who were to ride in it and their
comfort. Consequently the seating ia
cilities were very much limited. But
you all know how it is with these cars
they call racers.
The proud owner was displaying the
car to his friends.
II am thinking of naming it," he in
formed them.
"'sat so? What are you going to call
it?"
ooh, / don't know-'The Green Devil
or The Imp or something like that, %
replied the owner, who happened to be
one of the boys.
Say, why don't you call it The
Buckhead Express or The Peachtree
Special?'" suggested one of his friends.
"Why?"
well, I don't see much chance for a
fellow to get seat in It,"

VINCENT ASTOR
ANED BY CANAL
Ditch Is Rich Youths Idea of
Greatest AChieVement-TO
Invest in Ship Lines.

COLON. PANAMA. March 15.-Vin-
cent Aston. son Of the late John Jacob
A stor and the richest young man in the
.-orld, inspected the Panama canal TO-
day. As he proceeded through the
mighty wonders Of human workman
ship his awe and admiration increased
until he suddenly stopped and eN-
claimed:
If / could have been the builder Of
the Panama canal. would be the hap
piest man on earth. What is mere
wealth compared with. the power 20
combat the gigantic forces Of nature
and to rear such mighty works as
these 90
: He congratulated Colonel Goethals,
the Panama canal builder. time after
time and it was plain to see that in the
eyes Of the richest young American
Colonel Goethals was hero upon the
highest pedestal that the Imagination
could summon to its view.
Young Aston, accompanied by mis-
friends and attaches Of the United
States engineer offices, took off their
hats at the powerful gates the deeply
blasted canons and the huge steel locks
and all the other wonders that go 70
make up the mightiest engineering feat
OF the worlds history
Young Mr.. Aston was intensely inter
ested and asked many questions about
the durability Of the canal and it's ca
pacity for handling the worlds COM
merce. His interest in the canal and
its harbors led him to say that he con-
templated investing a portion Of his
vast fortune in steamship companies to
take part in the commerce of the world
after the finish of the canal
There was nothing frivolous about
young Astor's keen questions and he
was not afraid to ask questions. The
Aston party will sail tomorrow on the
yacht Mona for Santiago. Cuba.

REMOTE CHANCE
FOR FREE SUGAR
WAYS and Means Committee
WreStIeS With the Problem.
Hope to Avoid Trading.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Whether
sugar is to be placed on the free list
still was undecided today by the house
ways and means committee, which is
holding daily sessions in preparation of
a tariff revision program.
A majority of the members of the
committee. it is believed, is in favor
of free sugar. but many of them fear
that free sugar Will be an incentive
for the representatives from the beet
sugar and cane sugar districts to start
log rolling excursion which will in
volve trading" on pretty nearly every
other schedule.
These members believe that If a mod
crate duty is placed on sugar there
would practically be no incentive to
wholesale trades" Nearly 100 mem
bers are involved in the sguar ques-
ton, representing districts where beet
sugar or cane sugar is produced The
final decision of the committee will
not be made for some time.
That organized labor is to conduct
a strong crusade against radical reduc-
ton in the tariff became known today.
Though they will make no statements
on the subject, it is known that many
prominent labor leaders here will fight
reductions on manufactured products
and will bring much pressure to bear
on the committee.

Lectures on Grand Opera.

Lectures on Grand Opera.
Cox college girls will be most for
tunate in hearing explained the operas
which are to be produced in Atlanta by
the Metropolitan Opera Company this
spring. Georg FIR Lindner, professor
Of violin, will begin his series of lee
lures at an early date in the history

excellent opportunity for those who

been of the best and his wide expert
ence in opera work in Europe enables
him to give these lectures in a most
interesting and helpful manner.
