MY GAWD, LOOK At

Especial to Times-Recorder.)

ATLANTA, Aug. ia huge crane.
measuring nearly five feet from tip TO
tip of its outstretched wings, made the
mistake yesterday afternoon of alight-
ing in the wired enclosure that is
used as a caddy pen at the East Lake
golf course.
The enclosure was occupied at the
time by thirty or forty barefoot,
brawling negro boys of whom the little
fellow known as Brown Mule" was
the first to see the gigantic bird settle
to earth.
MY gawd, look at dat thing!" he
screamed, and went through hole in
the fence like a rabbit. General con-
sternation and flight from that part of
the pen followed, while the crane, as
much surprised as the caddies, SHIFTED
-uneasily from one foot to the other.
But the fright of the caddies didn't
last for long They are hardy bunch
of little rascals, and there is nothing
on the top side of the earth Except
Scott Hudson) that they really stand
in awe of.
What yu' reckon it is?" whispered
Brown Mule to Elephant" and rip
per-" who once went to school for a
month responded that he thought it
must be an ostrich.
During this conversation, the ne
groes were edging closer and closer to
the crane, and finally as if moved y
the same thought they made q rush for
it.
The luckless and astonished bird
roes from the ground and with one or
two powerful flaps was skimming over
their heads. 1t didn't quite clear the
wire enclosure, however, and as Il
struck the wire meshes it's fate was
sealed.
Today the caddies are throwing dice
for the long feathers they plucked
from the wings.

FINANCE IS GREAT
PROBLEM Of ROAD
Especial to Times-Recorder.

Especial to Times-Recorder.)
NEW YORK, Aug, 19.-The dominat-
ing problem in connection with high
way building at the present time is
unquestionably that of Finance and
Indebtedness. This applies both to
country roads and city streets, and in
wolves the questions as to whether d.
rect taxation or bond issues are pre-
ferable; the proper term for bonds;
the amount of bonds which may be
judicially issued for road and street
construction under given conditions:
the legislation which may be neces-
sary in reducing these essential fac
tors from the hap-hazard to a basis
which shall be scientific and econ
omic; the questions of sinking funds,
and bond retirements; all appeal d.
reetly to the best financial sense Of
all citizens, when road or street I'M
provement is contemplated.
The fact that probably one-half of
the counties and cities In the United

PANAMA, Aug. 19.-Although the
joint land commission has suspended
sitting because of the absence of one
of the American commissioners. bitter
attacks upon the American members
of the commission and officials of the
Panama canal appear almost daily in
the Panama newspapers. Charges of
unfairness and prejudice together with
allegation of false testimony on the
part of American land inspectors are
made.
The recent troubles of the land COM
mission were due to the inability OF
the two Panaman commissioners and
the two American commissioners to
reach agreeents on amounts to be CIV
EN- certain claimants. The attacks on
American canal officials are directed
chiefly against Frank Feuille, an at
torney in charge of the claims, al
though Governor Goethals also is re
ceiving a share of the attack.
For some time it has been the pol
icy of the Panaman members of the
commission to be as liberal as possible
with claimants, while on the othe"
hand the two American members have
been inclined to closely examine all
claims brought before the commission.
in this they have been upheld by the
American canal officials. 1t is fire.
quently pointed out by Mr.. Feuille that
the United States is already very lib
eral with claimants, but is decidedly
opposed to paying twice for the same
tract of land, to which the claimant
has doubtful title.
The relations of the canal officials
and the two American commissioners
are also somewhat strained A recent
award in which the two commissioners
agreed with the Panaman members
was resented by the canal officials AMI
incidentally brought down upon the
American members a rebuke from Sec
rotary of State Robert Lansing. This
award, while in itself unimportant,
sets precedent upon which the price
of lands in the immediate vicinity
would be established. 1t would mean
the payment of approximately $4,000
600 more for the land than its present
market value.
Governor Goethals has asked Secre-
tary of War Garrison to endeavor to
have the department of state arrange
with Panama Cor some other means of
settling lahu claims. He advocates the

the ordinary course of events. Thera
is more money in this country today
because of the war. 1t may not be as
yet in free circulation. but this con.
dition is only temporary, and not
greatly harmful. People have never
learned the necessity Of so-called big
business. A large percentage of the
legislative bills aimed at the dissolu-
ton of big business are founded and
upon a wrong principle of economics
and their result was the depression

DRY BATTERIES
GONE UP BECAUSE
OF EUROPEAN WAR
Especial to Iimes-Recorder.)

ATLANTA, Ca. Aug. 19.-Speaking
of the high cost of living and the trou-
bles caused to the average American
citizen by the war, dry batteries have
suddenly gone UP in price, owing tt
the fact that certain chemicals needed
to make up the cells can only be Sc
cured abroad and that the supply has
been materially cut down.
Of course this little Incidental "war
tax" as it might be commercially
termed, hits the auto users first. but
scarcely anybody escapes. as door
bells, gasoline pumps and many other
articles of everyday use are operated
by dry cells.

Makes More Money Than
Jno. d. And From
Countries Far and Wide

WASHINGTON, D. c. Aug 19.-The
man who makes more money than
anybody else in the United States is
Robert Wickliffe Woolley. He doesn t
earn more-he just makes more. Wool
ley is the director of the mint, and
he bosses the job of coming all the
money. gold, silver, copper and nickel,
that Uncle Sam uses. beside that he
coins all the pesos and sub sidiary coin
used in the Philippine Islands, and
turns out millions of pieces of mintei
coin for the South and Central Amer
lean countries.
Uncle Sam has three big minths; one
at Philadelphia, which is now coming
money for Cuba, Venezuela and Sal
vador; another at Denver, which is
now minting minor coins-one-cent
and five-cent pieces-and a third at
San Francisco, now executing Tilted
States coinage and Philippine coinage
Besides these, there are eight assay
offices, where the owners of gold and
silver bullion may turn it in and re-
ceive currency in exchange.
Gold bullion comes into the mint
or assay offices from the smelters,"
said Mr.. Woolley in answer to ques-
lions as to how Uncle Sam makes
money. at comes in from small own
ers in little bars an inch or two in
length, and from the big smelters in
bars worth up to $4,000 apiece.
