InfIammabIe CeIluloid.

Celluloid, being first cousin of gun
cotton and closely related to nitro
glycerin, is highly intiammable and

starchlike substance. Cotton fiber Is
principally cellulose. After the cotton
fiber is cleaned it is submerged in
acids, which quickly reduce it to cellu-

transparent mass. Camphor Is added
further to thicken it, and the required
coloring matter Is thoroughly mixed

Real salssmanship Is a Light That
Can't Be Obs@@red.
The boss wants .OOAers. because he
knows the locker OF today is tue buyer
OF tomorrow and he wants TO make
the lockers feel that his store Is the
best place 10 trade. which is only an
other way of saying that it Is the best
place to do ones looking. Tile also
knows that the locker of TO-DAY can
sometimes be converted into a buyer
before the day is over. All he requi ees
to accomplish what he desires is sale'-
manship among his salespeople.
Does he get it? Not from all Of
them. If he did there would be less
need for commissions to inquire labO-
riously into the relation between shop
girls wages and shOpgirls' chastity,
for real craftsmanship will get the
money wherever it is practiced and by
whomsoever it is practiced. Real sales
manship is one light that can't be hid
den under a bushel. It's n light that
can't be obscured. It's a light that
will shine above department heads and
fioorwalkers and reach clear up to the
old man" in his private office, if you
keep it burning long enough.
What is salesmanShip? No one quite

SPEED OF GAME BIRDS.

The Hazel Hen Said to Be Wonder In
a Short Squirt.
What is the fastest game bird that
flies? OF course, in seeking an answer
to the question, as a writer in the
Scotsman points out one must assume
equal conditions of atmosphere and
cause for fight, for all creatures, hui
man or other, seek their highest rate
of speed under the influence of fear.
A recent writer declares that in
race of, say, 200 yards he would back
a bird which, though not found in Brit
ain, is indigenous to most of the rest of
Europe and is especially familiar in
Scandinavia-the hazel hen or geli-
notte.
Yet, curiously enough, this is one of
the forest haunting birds which, Ike
the American fool hen" usually fly
up into a tree when flushed and, re-
jecting further attempts at escape,
elect to be shot sitting. But" says the
writer referred to above, ION the rare
occasions land that they are rare |
readily admit when one catches a geli-
notte in the open ! have never seen
any bird fly so fast nor move its wings
with such extraordinary rapidity."
Next to it at any rate one must sure
ly place the teal, which has a marvel
Gus knack Of getting under way quick
ly. Some experienced observers would
give the third place to bluerock pig
eon-the wild, not the birmingham Va
riety.

THREE AMER|CUS
PLANTS RUNNING
As HERETOFORE

Three of the five Americas plants
making commercial fertilizer and
acid have resumed operation for the
season, and while it is possible that the
output this season may not be as
great in volume as heretofore owing
to the difficulty in procuring some of
the ingredients employed in manufac-
ture, the fact that they are to be OPP
Grated at all is gratifying. The Vir-
ginia- Carolina chemical Co., the Ten
nessee Chemical Co., and the acid
plant of the International Agricultural
corporation, three of the largest plants
in Americas and employing consid-
cradle operating forces have started
up already Two other plants here, it
has been stated, will not be operated
this season. The plants that have re-
signed business for the fertilizer man
ufacturing season employ many men
each, and their resumption of business
at this time is a matter for congratu-
lation.

TOURISTS" STILL
FAVOR AMER|CUS
W|NG|NC FLIGHT
HUNDREDS OF TRAMPS ARE NOW
TRAVELLING INTO SOUTH GEOR
GA AND FLORIDA.

Americus is, already, the Mecca of
walking tourists from the north, west
and east, both whites and negroes, who
like a vast, but scattered army of a
thousand units are making their way
towards Florida, some perhaps, seek
ing work while others go to back in
the sunshine and escape the rigors of
winter. Only day or two ago a bunch
of a half dozen "Willies" were round
ed up in Americas, but were allowed
to go.
Last year many young white men,
some of them mere youths, were
caught here while riding freight
trains, and given very severe chain
gang sentences of three to six months.
1t is hoped there will be no repetition
of such severity in the enforcement
of the law. The release of the bunch
arrested here Saturday was commend
able, as they had committed no
crime.
Besides the tramps the city is visit
ed daily by a lot of white tourists"
collecting for various charitable insti-
tutions or selling all kinds CT special
articles, books, ETC. Some of these are
worthy, while others are dubious.

ed before Christmas, probably. Be-

sible. the police do not modest them
unless they are caught breaking some
law.
The chief effort OF the officers is TO
prevent them stopping and they are
not allowed to come into the residence
and business sections of the city to
stay any length of time, fearing tina.

they will commit burglaries and other
crimes.
Seventy-eight tramps were counted
getting off one freight train at the
railroad junction west of valdosta yes
terday morning, according to the state
ment of a police officer 1t is said that
tender-hearted trainman opened
couple of empty cars for them to ride
in, but that the hoboes became suspi-
cious, thinking trap was being laid
for them, and got off the train before
reaching the city.
One class of mendicant that should
be denied the right to stop here are
the fellows who sprawl themselves up
on the sidewalks in the shopping dis
trict and importune all passers-by.

WAR TIMES THROWS
MANY OUT Of WORK

COPENHAGEN, Dec. S.--The I'm
perial Labor Gazette" has just pub
lished the unemployment statistics in
Germany for August. According to
these data, which comprises so trade
unions, there is an average of 21.3 per
cent of unemployment in each trade,
as against 2.S per cent in August, 1918.
The trades which have suffered most
are: millinery, masonry, TYPOGRAPHY,
pjrocelain, printing, bookkeeping,
boot, saddlers, tobacco and textile. The
lowest percentage of unemployment
existed in the brewery and miller's
trades.
According to an approximate COM
putation, there are at the present time
over 100000 unemployed in Germany.

But l turn away from the subject
1t is not new. There is no new need
to discuss it. We shall not alter our
attitude toward it because some
amongst us are nervous and excited.
We shall easily and sensibly agree up
on a policy of defense. The question
has not changed it's aspects because
the times are not normal. Our policy
will not be for an occasion. 1t will be
conceived as a permanent and settled
thing, which we will pursue at all
seasons, without haste and after a
fashion perfectly consistent with the
peace of the world, the abiding friend
ship of states, and the unhampered
freedom of all with whom we deal. Let
there be no misconception. The coun-
try has been misinformed. We have
not been negligent of national de-
fense We are not unmindful of the
great responsibility resting upon us.

of every experience and every new
circumstance; and what is needed will

board of trade to permit the latter
road to discontinue it's short train be-
tween that city and Thalmann, the
Seaboard Air Line, which for years
has passed within nineteen miles of
Brunswick, is finally to enter that city,
when it will put into operation
through trains between Savannah and
Brunswick. These trains, known as
Nos. "a and %, and which are to be
operated entirely by the Seaboard,
though the tracks of the A., B. & A.
will be used from Thalmann to Bruins
wick.
Under the new schedule this train
will leave Brunswick at s a. m, arrive
Savannah at 11:10 a. H.; leave that
city at $40 p. m, arrive Brunswick
$50 p. m. 1t will afford Brunswick
and Savannah passengers the only
route between the two cities without

.SEABOARD ASKING
NIGHT
TRAINS AMER|CUS
COMMISSION TO HEAR CASE AR
GUED TOMORROW REGARDING
SERVICE.

Americas is interested in the result
of the hearing before the railroad COM
by the Seaboard Railway Co., for per-
mission to discontinue at Americas
the operation of it's night trains, Nos.
10 and IA. These trains have, here
tofore been operated through to Mont
gomery, but the Alabama railway COM
mission has granted the Seaboard per-
mission to discontinue the service of
these trains at the state line, the Chat
tahoochee river.
This much gained, the railway COM
pany now desires to discontinue the
night train service between Americas
and Lumpkin, some fifty miles, and
will present its request to that effect
to the commission tomorrow.
AS the towns on that end of the line
will be most affected by the proposed
curtailment of service, they may send
delegations tomorrow to Atlanta to
protest against such change as is pro-
posed. 1t is not known what action
Americas may take in the premises,
if any, though there is some objection
here to discontinuance of the trains,
although the service between Ameri-
Gus and Savannah will not be interfer-'
ed with, at present.

Develop National Guard.

Develop National Guard.
1T is right, TOO, that the National
Guard of the States should be develop
ed and strengthened by every means
which is not inconsistent with our
obligations to our own people or with
the establishmed policy of our govern
ment And this, also, not because the
time or occasion specially calls for
such measures, but because it should
be our constant policy to make these
provisions for our national peace and
safety.
More than this carries with it re-
versal Of the whole history and char
acter of our policy. More than this,
proposed at this time, permit me to
say, would mean merely that we had
lost our self-possession, that we had
been thrown off our balance by a war
with which we have nothing to do.
whose causes cannot touch us, whose
very existence affords us opportunities
of friendship and disinterested service
which should make us ashamed of any
thought of hostility or fearful prepar-
alton for trouble. This is assuredly
the opportunity for which people and
a government like our were raised I'D.
the opportunity not only to speak but
actually to embody and exemplify the
counsels of peace and amity and the
lasting concord which is based on JUS
tice and fair and generous dealing.
"a powerful navy we have always
regarded as our proper and natural
means of defense; and it has always
been of defense that we have thought,
never of aggression or of conquest. But
who shall tell us now what sort Of
navy to build? We shall take leave to
be strong upon the seas, in the future
as in the past; and there will be, nc
thought of offense or of provocation in
that. Our ships are our natural bull
warks. When will the experts tell
us Just what kind we should construct
and when will they be right for ten
years together, if the relative efic-
iency of craft of different kinds and
uses continues to change as we have
these last few months?
