There was much discussion in At

DR.. John Il. White. at the Second
BAPTIST Church, argued that Chris
tan citizenship was unit force af-
fecting corruption and lawlessness of
great cities and he favored the or
ganization of such a body in Atlanta
which would have the true interests
of the city at heart
The Rev Allen c. Shuler severely
criticized the Citizens League.
In speaking of the form of citizens
league which he thinks advisable for
Atlanta, DR.. White said.

Il expect to see in Atlanta a Citi-
ze0s' league that will raise and keep
raised the social. moral issue of life
against whatever preys on life II
will proclaim that every good citi-
zen shall contribute something OF
value to life and all traffic that puts
money above manhood shall be con
demned. 1t will not be hysterical
but very calm. As to laws it will be
simply honest and not semi honest
II will leave the judiciary to contrus
the law and not the law breaker II
would ask the men TO be just Chris

The Rev MI ShuIer, in speaking
of the Citizens League. said THE

of locker clubs. He said a locker club IS
very existence rendered impossible a
fair and practical enforcement of the

The Amended Antitrust Bills

The numerous amendments made by the senate to the Clayton antitrust bill which was passed by the house unquestioningly and with the approval the administration, essentially alters the character of that measure, whose defects had become patent to all Since the regulation of the trusts be- gun so much ignorance of the subject had been manifested displayed i'll the original Clayton bill
 The main purpose of this and all other anti trust legislation is preserve heaithfu competi- tion and to prevent monopoly To that end there clause in the original bill prohibiting price discrimination; that is if article should be sold price in part of the country it should be sold by the firm at another price in any other part of the country. No account was taken by the thoughtful members of the house. of differences in freight Their ears were filled with something that sounded just and fair, anti price discrimination It has later become evident congressman. though business men saw it at a glance that nothing would surely throt- tie competition and build up monopoly than such provision. Therefore the bill has been so amended to permit discrimination in price in different parts of the country meet competition
 Another amendment gives the proposed inter- state trade commission powers similar those ercised by the interstate commerce commission, in
 
 1t was sought to invest it. It the suggestion of Attorney General McReynolds that the powers of the commission to be limited. He feared that commission with real authority might grant immunity to business men. This surprising obec- tion made in the face of the fact that the at torney general holds such power in his hands and often used it. He also has the power of doing he peases in the matter of complaints brought against trusts under the Sherman law. In fact. it has been the faulty administration of the attorney generals office that raised the demand for additional anti legislation
 The commission, the bill has been amended, will be a body which business and plainers against their methods may go for nforma- ton or relief Every inquiry will receive attention and every grievance will be given public hearing. Nothing will be pigeon -holed and nothing will be privately heard.
 Business men, a rule, want to obey the law but in many neither they their advisers quite what the law They usually found by getting into court, when interpreta ton was received at the end of much vexatious and expensive litigation.

SIDE ENTRANCE TO STREET CARS.

A feature in the growing popularity of the side entrance steel girder is it's equal availability for the opposing conditions of city and interurban service. In city operation it is often necessary to have the greatest possible capacity for given length, and this feature the side entrance gives in the elimination of waSeful platforms and in the greater length which is made possible by the of rounded ends. The low step and the desirable isolation of the motorman also commend themselves valuable features. For interurban operation the factors of greatest capacity, maximum possible length and low step not of commanding importance, although the tapering ends may be con sidered of benefit in reducing energy con sumption The big problem in the of the in terurban is the location of the smok- ing compartment, for it is most objectionable to women and children to pass through this com partment even when unoccupied.

DREDGING IN CHINA.
Mechanical Devices Cheaper Than Cheap Manual
 ahor.

It would appear first sight that in China manual labor for dredging work would be much cheaper than mechanical work, but, despite the fact that Chinese labor charges five times lower than in Europe, mechanical appliances are proved to be much below the cost of manual labor This differ ence is brought about not only by reason of the high power developed in a dredging plant, but also by reason of the fact that coal is 50 cent cheap CT in China than in Europe and also the weather does affect the general expenses with dredging machinery much human labor.
 An interesting dredge recently built for the HaiHo eonservancy board Tentsin. The dredge is of the barge -emptying and suction load ing type, and is capable of dischargng the spoil into barges alongside through a floating pipe line 1000 feet in length through shore delivery pipe line a distance of $500 feet
 The vessel is used suction dredge either working at side anchors or in motion and as sta tionary pumping station for the discharge ashore Of spoil out of barges. When pumping while in mo- tion the dredger is arranged for discharge over either side into barges lowed alongside through opening in the bow, to which opening floating pipeline is fitted when dredging at side anchors. To balance the vessel the shore delivery pipeline is fitted the port side while barge suction is us- ually effected the starboard side The suction pipe for direct dredging anchor is provided with suction mouth for direct dredging at anchor is pro- vided with suction mouth, armed with sleeve so fitted as to avoid clogging when dredging a fur eight feet deep in easily collapsibe earth When the dredger is in motion the suction pipe is capa be of reaching to depth of 20 feet and when dredging at anchor with a different suction mouth of reaching to a depth of 25 feet. The normal vice speed is approximately eight knots.
 When working pumping station, the dredge discharges the spoil through 24 3S inch pipe line. and delivers by means of it's sand pumps 46 cubic yards of water per minute at 150 revolutions of the engine, while for the water pump the output is A yards with 160 revolutions of the engine When dredging at anchor and dischargng through 1000 foot floating pipe line of 20nch diameter, using sand pump, the duty for the sand pump is 46 cubic yards per minute with 16 revolutions of the engine, uyhl urhon in undI Ip1iV into barges alongside the output of the sand pump is 90 yards per minute at 150 revolutions of the engine.
