liar complaints have been received
from California, Idaho, Missouri and
other states.
These recent complaints alleging
price discrimination between localities
in the sale of gasoline have led the
commission to send out agents to gath

guide the commission in determining
if the alleged conditions are preva-
lent in the United States at large, and
whether it will be desirable to take
up that subject for immediate investi-
cation, or whether it will be more adj
yantageous for it to concentrate it's
efforts, as far as possible, to the COM
pletion of the reports of the whole

resolutions, in which exhaustive inves-

REPORT
FOR PAST WEEK
MONTH OF NOVEMBER STARTS
WITH GENERAL BUSINESS
ACTIVITY

The Columbus Industrial Index says
in its issue for this week:
with ample proof of previous in
dications the southeast enters into
November with most substantial pros
poets of continued increase in the
volume of business.
THE prospects for September and
then for October proved to be even
better than they had been described
and there are now the most depen-
dable indications that November will
be far better in a business way than
was October.
This month is begun with general
business activity. There is no longer
stagnatiOn in any great industry
Manufacturing plants are in full opera
ton and new ones are being estab-
lished. Construction work is in pro-
gress in large volume. Bank clearing
| shows big comparative gains.
prosperity is at hand. 1t will not
be limited by November, and the end
of December will not mark its cessa-
tion. 1t is the belief of successful
obseryant business men that we are
entering upon a period of prosperity
UGH as this country ha- never known
before
Among the items of construction
work to be done, as lcported this
week, are:
apartment house. At nta, Ga;
bank building, Ambrose, Ga, and Fl
Meade, Fla. factory bui ling, Rome,
Ga; fraternal buildings, Laurel, Miss,
and Selma, Ala; libra, building,
Sumpter, S. c.. garage | Hiding, Car
rollton, Ala, and Magnolia, Miss; two
school buildings, Fitzgerald, Ca, and
Newington, Ga; arrang ments have
been perfected for the erection in
Miami, Fla, of hotel building which
with the furnishings, will cost $780,
600; ware houses, Birminmham, Ala,

President g. A Wilkersham of the

presenting the railroad side of the

standpoint generally
Mr. Wickersham points out that to
make the change would result in
creating for long time 10 come end

On the other hand, he points out that

work in the morning an hour earlier

Ashamed of Own Toes.

Man is a five-toed animal who seems
ashamed of the fact. He covers his
sensitive feet with leather, which
turns him into an imitation ungulate,
or hoofed creature, and then wonders
why he has corns and bunions He
takes the spring out of the earth with
his pavements and thes elasticity out
of his stride with hard-soled shoes,
and marvels why walking has become
a pain instead of pleasure. There
may be some climatic excuse for this
folly in winter, and as for grown-ups
at any season "the world has set its
heavy yoke upon the grave and beard

poor little rich kids, a chance to get
their feet on the good breast of the

Curious Indian Game Traps.

The discovery of the manner in
which the prehistoric Indians of the
southwest obtained their meat supply
was made recently by Washington
scientists during an investigation
around the plateau of the Pajarika
park, near Santa Fe, where number
OF game traps were found
It is believed that the discovery of
these traps indicates that the south
western Indian Of prehistoric times
was far more intelligent than his
brother of the North.
The traps are holes cut in lava rock
at places where the poisonous gases
make their way through to the sur
face They are ingeniously arranged
to suggest a cavern in which an ami
NAL may hide.
Animals running from their foes see
one of these traps and dive into it..
Almost instantly they are suffocated
by the gas. This manner of death
does not destroy their value as food
