Towns to Change Names.

Little Heaven and Little He'll, two
towns in Kent county Delaware, are
soon to lose their strange designations
Church people have decided that the
names are too profane, and have begun a
movement to have the authorities change
them to something more appropriate.
Little Heaven and Little He'll are Sit
uated within mile Of each other on the
road leading from Dover TO Bowers
Beach. Old residents declare the groups
Of houses at the crossroads were named
nearly century ago, when party Of ex-
cursionists was attacked while enroute
to the Delaware Bay shore for an outing.
AS they arrived in one Of the crossroads
towns. member of the party exclaimed,
This Is Little He'll. referring to his state
of mind ogcasioned by the clash. The
name has stuck ever since. Further
along the road the fighting subsidized, and
the residents declare it was named Little
Heaven. because the excursionists des-
cribed it as such compared to the FIRST
village, where the clash had occurred.

Wins Prizes For Now Fuel.

Cash prizes totaling 100000 recently

and $50, 900 and also two foreign manu-
facturers' offers Of $4,000 each.
Governs discovery is called s.neutra-
lene," and is product of pure hydrogen
and oxygen. 1t is produced more cheaply
than gasoline. it is said.
Scientists who have seen the working
of Mr.. Growen's process say thai it IS
unquestionably the greatest discovery of
the age. even rivaling radium in import
ance. 1t is asserted that "neutralene"
will have revolutionary effect on indus
tries of all kinds.

Anti-Splttlna Campaign.

The Maryland Association for the proven
ton and relief Of tuberculosis is conducting
an anti-spltting campaign, and In this connec-
tion has issued the following circular:
DON'T SPIT
In the streets. upon the sidewalks, in public
conveyances, or in rooms, halls or corridors
In fact anywhere where other people have to
be. We respectfully request your cooperation
as philosophical citizen to this extent, to
help us rid Maryland of communicable dis
cases. especially tuberculosis (consumption)
You are probably free from any cemmun-
icable disease yourself. But remember that
when you spit promiscuously, you are setting
bad example for the consumptive who has
to spit somewhere.
Tuberculosis is communicable. When any
consumptive spits. he releases from his lungs,
thousands of minute living germs (tubercle
baciliD. When the sputum dries, the smallest
breeze, the turn Of wagon wheel, or the
scuftiing Of feet distribute these germs into
the air to be breathed by others into their
lungs. In this way tuberculosis gets its hold
upon the system. If the system is not strong
enough to offer the necessary amount of re-
sistance, the disease soon gets established.
Ii, because Of catarrh. or other throat or
nose trouble. or because of the dust. you feel
1t absolutely necessary to spit. carry an extra
handkerchief and use that. or use receptacle
which can be regularly cleaned and disinfect-
ed. For the consumptive, other means of
removing this most dangerous source of infec-
tiou are provided.
Protect your family, protect your fellow
citizen, protect yourself. 1t won't cost you
money or effort-simply small amount of
care. Next time you feel inclined to expec-
torate in public place or about your homo.
think twice and then say to yourself

GREATEST YEAR
ISPREDNCT|0N
Of MADDOX
Banker, in Sunshine" Talk, De.
cIares Business Will Assume
Enormous Proportions.

When il comes to a matter of sun
shine in Atlanta, Robert F, Maddox,
vice president of the American Ma
tianal Bank, has brand new idea for
the Sunshine Club"
Atlanta is 1850 feet above sea
level" Mr.. Maddox said. st is a
CITY set on HILL you might say. 1t
is away up in the air And that is
the kind of city that catches the rays
Of the rising sun first and holds them
longest.
"As to the rising sun of prosperity,
the same holds good. maintain that
mis- elevation of Atlanta is a practi-
cal. and not only theoretical. ad-
vantage. OF all the cities of At
lanta's size or larger. only Denver is
higher up in the air
Y really believe the famous At
lanta spirit first originated in the
finer and more bracing air of At
lanta. as compared to its rival cities.
Nearly all the big cities of the coun-
try are sea-level cities, or not much
above it, being situated on some coast
or large river.
Now, about the rising sun of pros
perty.
Depression Only Temporary.
For the laSt twelve months every
thing has been sort Of holding its
breath. Nothing could stop our great
cotton crop, of course. That was a
natural development. But business
was waiting on the outcome of the
lnotclotinn ond
also wondering how it would work
after being made into laws. 49,
1T was depressing at the time. But
I think it taught all of us a good
lesson-the lesson of conservatism.
now that things are on a sound basis,
and no more big legislation is hanging
fire. there is bound to be general
uncovering. The banks are well
stocked with money. They will be
ready to lend it, Merchants will use
the money and increase their stocks
Manufacturers will use the money
and make contracts for more raw
material. The railroads will have
more to haul.
1T is going to be a great year,
and Georgia and Atlanta are in for
their full share. But l believe the
hard lessons of experience will pre-
vent anything like a boom. Business
Will grow immensely, but it will grow
safely and normally.
For Freight Rate Increase.
only one little barrier remains be-
tween perfect quiet and the COM
merce of the country. That is the
pending decision of the, Interstate
Commerce Commission on the appeal
of the Eastern railroads to allow an
increased scale of freight rates. That
decision will also affect all the rail
roads, of course. Personally, 1 be-
lieve it ought to be granted.
The operating expense of railroads
has increased much faster than the
gross earnings. The gross earnings
are larger than formerly but the
margin of net profit is much smaller.
1t is a vital matter with many big
railroads, and, of course, it has ire
mendous influence on their capacity
to serve their territory.
But here in Atlanta, and here
in Georgia, we are on sound, safe
and sane basis for doing big bust
ness-and we're going to do it: l look
for the greatest year in our history.
