possible.

II was reported that In the event
the city Council refuses to take ac-
ton on the petition, the question will
be made an Issue Mt the next cleo
ton, with the clubwomen arraYed
against those members who oppose
them In the battle against the smoke
nuisance. None of the club leaders.
however, would affirm this report.
I'VE think 1t probable that the
Council will see its way TO do some
thing about the smoke nuisance" SAID
one of them Thursday. There Is no
question that the clouds of smoke
that hang over Atlanta are a disgrace
to the city and should be abated, and
IL seems TO be within the power of
tn City Council to remedy condi-
tons.
I'VE shall ask in our petition that
the twelve minutes during which
smoke is allowed to belch from the
| chimneys OF factories be reduced ~
| six. OF course, IL Council ignores ouY
| petition, the fight v be on and we
must adopt other means to relieve

Shakespeare has told us that there

stantial reduction were made for
cash.
The agent wired to his principal
as to what discount he would allow
to clear the stock, and the reply sent
by telegram was "You can sell for a
third off the original price" But
the careless ~telegraphist left out the
second "f" in the word "of," so that
the telegram read, "You can sell for
a third of the original price"
The agent did so, and succeeded
in losing for his principal some
$1,000 of actual cash upon the trans

Before the passage of the present

4 aareful mother, whose baby had
fallen asleep in his carriage in the
PARK, found in seeking to make him
comfortable that the sun was shin
ing from one direction and a cold
wind blowing from another. After
.areful consideration and numerous
urnings, she decided to risk his
lightly closed eyes to a little sunshine
rather than to expose him to the
chilly breeze.

The present appeal of the East
ern railroads to the Interstate
Commerce Commission was pre-
sented May 13,1913. Not till six
months later was a preliminary
hearing held. Four months have
now been given to the taking of
testimony, with no decision in
Shght. Five of the eight men on
the Commission were members of
it in 1910 and heard the applica-
ton made by the railroads at
that time. The majority of the
Commission, therefore, have had
the matter before them, in one
way or another, for three years
and eight months.

Citations of manufacturers and
shippers are sending circular let
tiers in favor of the increase. The
Illinois Manufacturers AssO-
citation with a membership of
$1,000 among whom are many of
the largest shippers in the
West, opposed an increase in
1910. Convinced that the net
revenues of the railroads have be-
come insufficient for such SER
vice as shippers demand, the as
sociation has now sent to all
members a letter with this
appeal "Wire the President,
wire your Senators, wire your
Representatives to use their in
fluence for the ) per cent in
crease of freight rates.
Business haIts while the coun-
try awaits the decision upon the
rate increase. AS Mr.. II. C.
Frick, the great iron master,
points out, should the Increase be
granted, all the big railroad Sys-
TENS will be able to see their
way clear to go ahead with con-
templated improvements, the
purchase of rolling stock and
other equipment, which will mean
much to to industrial and bust

also full time for the 10000
Pennsylvania employees now on
part time, unemployment for
the 5000 men on the b & o.,
