ADJ MEN To HELP
IMPROVE P. D.
SERVICE

A campaign to increase the eff
cheney of the Atlanta postoffice force
and cooperate with Postmaster
Jones in his efforts to better the
service has been inaugurated by the
Atlanta Ad Mems Club, following a
stirring talk on How We Can I'm
prove the Service" which Mr.. Jones
delivered at the regular weekly
luncheon Of the club Thursday.
A resolution introduced by Samuel
S. Dobbs, of the Coca Cola Company,
and adopted unanimously, pledged
the Ad Club to boost the postoffice
and aid Postmaster Jones in his eff
forts to make it the best in the coun-
try, preaching at all times the Cos
pei of cooperation which will make
this success possible"
Mail Early, Jones Advice.
In his speech Mr.. Jones especially
urged the business men to put their
mail in the postoftice as early as
possible.
IF we get the mail early in the
afternoon or in the forenoon" said
Mr.. Jones, 1--WE can get it out OF
the city on the afternoon and early
evening trains. and by next morning
it is at its destination, where you
want it to be. If you wait until you
go home to mail your letters, the
mail misses the evening trains and is
twenty four hours later than II
should be in reaching its destina-
ton"
Several of the ad men pledged
themselves to see that hereafter the
mail of their respective houses is
placed in the postoffice as fast as IL
is written, instead of waiting until
the close of the business day. Among
them were Mr.. Dobbs and William

Ne " SERIES Of
THEFTS; $1,000
GEMS STOLEN
Three Homes Robbed and Two
Drug Stores and Grocery
Held Up in One Night. {

More criticism was directed at the
,oItce department Friday when Sc
res of new burglaries and thefts were
reported.
Probably the largest of the rob-
1erv crop in the last twentyfour
hours was that of $1,000 worth of
levels from the home of T. C. Ham
iton. No 213 East Fair street, late
Thursday evening. The jewels be-
longed to Miss NJ ]. Hamilton and
we're reported to the police as fol-
lows:
Two solitaire diamond rings.
One princess ring, set with five
diamonds.
one gold ring set with a large en-
arald and ten diamonds.
one pearl stud.
One gold ring set with a large gar
net surrounded with pearls.
one ladies' gold watch.
Strange Negro Employee.
The only clew detectives who in
vestigated the robbery were able to
find was the presence Of an uniden-
tilted negro who had been employed
about the house Thursday. He came
early in the morning and stayed
throughout the day, helping with the
house cleaning. Several times he
was known to have been in various
parts of the house alone, although it
Is not known that he went into the

The theory of the police, however,
Is that the negro entered the room
while cleaning and took the jewel box,
secreting it about his person or some
part of the house until he was ready
to leave, and then taking it with him.
A general order has been issued for
the negro's arrest, and detectives also
are watching the pawnshops for the
missing jewelry.
Woman Scores Police.
Mrs. w. H. McWhorter. No 12S
Fowler street, was bitter in denounc-
ing the police for not responding to
her call for aid after her house had
been ransacked by a negro who used
an ak in breaking in.
Besides breaking the household fur
niture, the negro broke open the gas
meter stealing several dollars.
LAS to the police" said Mrs. Nc
Whorter. whose husband is a railroad
man, eff I had returned home while
the robber was in here he would
probably have knocked me in the
head with the ak and 1t would have
been the same with them"
She said that the police promised
TO send a man out Immediately, but
that he had not appeared two days
later, nor does she expect him, as she
has not seen one in that neighbor-
hood for several months.
Breaks Into Another House.
The same negro broke into the
home of Mrs. Dora Knee, No. 129
West Pine street, around the corner
from Mrs. McWhorters and stole the

Carefully Treat
Children's Colds

Neglect of children's colds often lays
the foundation of serious lung trouble in
later life. On the other hand, it is harm
full to continually dose delicate little
stomachs with internal medicines or to
keep the children always indoors. The
ideal way TO avoid colds is to keep plen-
ty OF fresh air in the bedroom and at
the first sign of trouble apply Wick S
"Vap- Rub Group and Pneumonia
Salve over the throat and chest, cover
ing with a warm flannel cloth. The body
heat releases antiseptic vapors that are
inhaled all night long, opening the air

brane. In addition, Vick's is absorbed
through the skin, taking out the sore
ness and tightness. Vick's contains no
harmful drugs whatever At druggists

Mrs. Knee and her family were on
the front porch. They heard the
noise. but the negro fed before they
saw him. Neighbors of Mrs. Nc
Whorter say negro rode up to her
door, dismounted and carried his
wheel to the rear OF the house. This
was about twenty minutes after she
had gone to visit neighbor across
the street.
Mrs. Knee also says that the police
have not investigated her case.
Thieves smashed in the front door
of the Stein Junk Company, No. So6
Marietta street, for the second time
since Christmas, and robbed the cash
drawer Of its contents. Stein said he
didn't know what he was going to do
about it, unless he kept guard over
the place himself all the time.

How to Aid Service.
Mr.. Jones asked the ad men to use
their influence to induce business
houses to help the mail carriers by
putting slots in their front doors for
the mail, and mail boxes in the yes
tibules of their homes He urged
also that stamps be placed on the
right hand corner of the envelope,
declaring that tremendous number
of letters come into the postofflce
with the stamps on the left hand
corner, which prevents the letters
going through the canceling machine
and slows Up the work Of handling

Mr.. w. B. Alexander Of the Western

The discovery Of the kangaroo family
is generally credited to Sir Joseph
Banks, and is supposed to have oc.

nearly one hundred and fifty years too
late. When the Dutch East India

1929, the survivors encountered among
other strange things the Dana Walla.

considerable detail the abdominal

TRAITS OF THE SCANDINAVIAN
Writer Secs Sweetness In Their Ma

There Is sweetness in the Scandina-
Wan nature, but you reach it deep
down past flint. The late Governor
Johnson of Minnesota drew people be-
cause he had Imagination and tender
ness-traits none too common among
his people. They are undemonstra-
tive In the family, and 1t Is not sur
prising that their youth ON the farms
are restless from heart hunger. Be-
sides, there is dearth of recreation.
The Norwegian has his violin, but the
Swedish folk dances we hear so much
about were not brought In by the i'm
migrants. They lack the German
Maennerchor, Turnverein and Schuet-
zenfest. 1t Is unusual to find them
organizing athletic sports. Their so
cial gatherings center in the church,
which, Of course, acts as a damper
on the spirits of the young. They
love fun, to be sure, but have not the
knack of making 1t. Shut up within
themselves, hard to reach, slow to
kindle and dominated by an austere
hell-f1re theology, they are too often
the prey of somber moods and victims
of suicide and insanity.
An experienced social worker finds
selfishness the besetting sin of the
Scandinavians he deals with. If set
tlement class gets a room or camp
1t objects to any others using 1t. In
any undertaking they have in COM
mon with other nationalities they try
to get the best for themselves. They
withhold aid from the distressed Of
another nationality, while the Irish
will respond generously to the same
appeal. A labor leader notices that
the Scandinavian workingmen are
hard givers."

marks: For a suffering person, cir

for a days labor, he often takes a
pocketful of olives and a piece of
