AUTOS FOR THE CARRIERS.

\ reorganization of the rural
route system is contemplated By
Tie postmaster general.
The bill provides for the use of
automobiles on rural routes in
states that have roads adapted to
the use of such vehicles. 1t
provides for a radical change in
the rual free delivery system.
Under the present conditions the
length of standard route is
lwcniN-four miles si;d the maxi.
mum compensation paid carriers is
$1,000 "a year The postmaster
general proposes To increase the
iength OF routes where conditions
are favorable TO fifty miles and
on such routes carriers will be
paid 81 $40 year They will
be required to use automobiles
on the longer routes.
In discussing the subject the
postmaster general pointed out
that in thickly settled agricultur
al regions group of routes ra.
date from the same town. The
services of one carrier are re-
qnired for nearly every route.
The postmaster general is Of the
opinion that with the introduction
of automobiles the length of the
routes may be doubled without
impairing the efficiency of the
service in any respect.
He is also of the opinion that
in some instances it may be found
desirable to have routes fifty
miles IN length OH straight line.
On such routes he would have the
carrier deliver aud collect ON the
outward trip, remaining over
night nj the terminus Of the route
and deliver and collect on their
return journey the following day.
Such an innovation will require
great deal of reorganization in
many states.

MRS MITCHELL PALMER

 What woman, given her choice be- tween an automobile and a garden would choose the garden? Not one, in this day of woman's unrest, unless she was either born to unworldliness or had ecbieyed it Yet that is what Mrs A Mitchell Palmer wife of Rep resentatiye Palmer of Pennsylvania, did She chose the garden. Just to let this tale point a moral and to prove that virtue is not always its only reward it may be mentioned in passing that she got the automobile later! Tl
 But Lack to the garden. If Mrs. Pal mer, who is one of the most promin- ent women of the present Democratic administration. has a hobby besides her husband, her child and her home. it is that garden And if Representa- tive Palmer has q hobby besides the Democratic party, it is also the old fashioned garden that blooms nearly the year around at their home on the outskirts of Stroudsburg, Pennsyl- vania

The SOLCNS OF GEORGIA
TALKED RATS IN ATLANTA

Atlanta, July 10.-Dr. H. J. Williams
of Macon, president of the state boar
of health, came to Atlanta, Thursday
to confer with DR.. H. F. Harris, secre-
tary of the board, relative tc the ne
.cessary precautions which should be
taken to prevent the introduction OF
the bubonic plague in Georgia
Three cases Of the plague were re-
Gently discovered in New Orleans and
the national health authorities are CO.
operating with the health officials OF
the various states along the Atlantic
seaboard with a view to preventing
any further spread of the disease,
The state board of health has asked
Governor Slaton to recommend to the
legislature that it appropriate sufi-
cient sum of money to be used by the
board in the event an emergency aris-
es. A sum of $4,000 is suggested.
The board is mapping out a plan
which contemplates the determination
of all rats in Georgia, especially those
in seacoast cities. Rats are the prin-
cipal medium through which the bu-
bonic plague germ is spread.
Replying to the board of health's
letter, Governor Slaton calls attention
to the depleted condition of the state
treasury and asks for more details
concerning the precautionary meas
ures contemplated by the board as
we'll as more facts relative to the
possible danger to Georgia.
THE state board of health will lose
70 time in taking the proper and nee
essary steps," said DR.. Williams.
There is always danger of this ter
rible disease spreading, especially al
ong the Atlantic coast, while germs
might be carried in freight from Mis-
sissippi river points"
