The tendency OF the modern youth
is toward the great city and its lures,
and youth will be served. Each day
the trains bear armies of eager, fresh
faced recruits from the country dis
tricts, and each day silently drop
from their places in the conflict, 9th
er armies of middle-aged men who
sucked of their usefulness, by the re-
mOrseless NAV of the great machine,
are thrown on the scrap heap of de-
cay. One of the pitiful sights of the
modern city is these men, who, hav-
ing served their purpose, are shelved.
1t is almost impossible for the young
man to forge ahead in the city, no
matter how bright or energetic he may
be, as beside him in keen competition
are thousands of other young men;sthe
best blood of the country, competing
against him. The majority of the
young fellows drift into mediocre mid
die age and eventually join the army
of has-beens. You, young man from
the country, after you have spent a
while in the city and seen the other
side Of life, go back to the land where
you were raised and see how good il
looks TO you. The city is mighty and
out of its great heart come wonderful
things, but when the time comes foI
you to know life and its real meaning
come back to the country where you
were born. You will need us and we
viii need you.

Fort Smith An Interesting feature of the work of long distance telephone operators is the locating of people by steaephone whose whereabouts are un. known. This work is done to give the public service wherever possible even though considerable expense is incurred by the telephone company in doing so.
 An instance of tenacity and mental alertness was given by an operator in Russellville who followed man all over the state of Arkansas by tele- phone and, finally found him at Fort Smith after running down every clue.
 The call was made by Russell vile subscriber who wanted to talk with man at Greenwood. Ark. The party had left Greenwood and 1t was reported that he had gone to Little Rock, leaving no address The Chief Operator at Little Rock was consulted and finally discovered that the man had registered at the Merchants Ho- tel but had checked out again The hotel people thought he might have gone to Hartford or Mansfield. and so the willing telephone girl called up Hartford and Mansfield. At s:30 that night he had not registered at Hart ford, and it was thought that he had gone to Greenwood. The operator tried Hartford, Mansfield. Greenwood and Fort Smith. and finally located the much-wanted party in a hotel at Fort Smith.
 Gertrude Reynolds. Chief Operator at Russellville. Ark. was the girl who refused to give up the call until she had succeeded in completing 1t.

Dallas, Tex-The city council oi Mount Pleasant, Tex, has passed res olutions Of praise for the Southwest ern Telegraph and Telephone com pany because of it's quick restoration of service after bad fire had de stroyed most of the local and all the long distance telephone connections in that town The resolutions de clare, That we extend our sincere thanks to the Southwestern T. and T. company, as represented both locally and in the district. for the promptness and skill with which the situation has been handled, and the disposition shown to relieve the inconvenience of the public at the earliest moment pos sibIe"
 A local telephone man told of how the company was enabled to restore service so quickly in the following in- terview:
 .'It would have been impossible to restore service so quickly in the case of the Mount Pleasant fire had it not been for the foresight of the company that provides extra and even dupli cate equipment at central points all over the system. The cost is enor- nous and this equipment may lay for years unused.

PHILADELPHIA BANS
 TANGO AS TOO SLOW
May Be All Right For New York
 But Not for Quaker

Atlantic City, Sept 3.-The tango is passe, New York can have that worn-out and overdone species of the terpsichorean art if It wants, but it's far too slow for speedy Philadelphia. Members of the Philadelphia Dancing Masters association, in session on the Grand Pier, refused quite positively to consider the tango, even after Pro- lessor Morris Eschner of Atlantic City, with the aid of a music box and two vivacious partners had endeav- ored to demonstrate that what he called "the New York Standardized Tango" was an ideal dance.
 It was conceded that the tango un- der some aliases might have a chance but simply as the tango" never. The New York revival of the tango as Pro- lessor Eschner executed it was in four figures and was something like this: : First figure, side chasers, one foot pushing the other; second figure, demi-corte (corte being step de rived from Spanish gypsy dance of forty years ago). and an inside slide; third figure, walk and mediocorte:

Proof That Main American Battle- ship Fleet Would Be Able tO
 Accomplish Deed.


 Washington, Sept. 3.Proof that the entire present main American battle ship fleet, made up of four divisions of five ships each and flagship a total of 21, could be passed through the Panama canal in one day has been afforded by the handling of the naval academy practice squadron in the canal locks on it's way to and from the Panama-Pacific Exposition.
 The squadron, composed of the batt1eships Missouri, Ohio and Wis consin, the largest warships which have so far used the canal were put through the locks at Pedro Mi guel and Mirafores, the~ Missouri and Ohio simultaneously in parallel, with the Wisconsin directly in the hear. The towing locomotives had such perfect control of the ships that it was perceived that four vessels of even larger size could be handled in the locks at the same time, two in each of, the duplicate chambers.

 The vote of rejection was decisive. The meeting agreed that the old dances are coming back. but not half so fast as the dancing master would like to see them come.
 ''The way to force action is to get the society people to set the pace, said Piirofessor Rowe, If Mrs. Stotes- bury were to favor old dances exclu- sively, everybody would clamor for the old.'

tify Anyone With Crime.
 Marietta, Ga., Sept. 3.-The Cobb county grand jury reported late yes- terday that it had been unable to lind enough evidence, after a two days examination of witnesses to lnd1ct any one for the lynching of Leo M. Frank. The report stated:-
 We have found several clues, but we have been unable to find anyone who could identify any party. we have done our best, under our oath, and regret to state that we nave been unable to find enough evidence to indentify anyone for this crime"
 After stating that the jury had the active >co-operation of Governor Harris, the state attorney general, Solicitor Herbert Clay and other off cials of Cobb county the report adds:-
 We have been unable to connect anybody with the perpetration of this offense or to identify anyone who was connected with it, although we have investigated the information furnish ed us by officers and other parties and have followed up letters, signed and unsigned, and to this end, we have subpoenaed and examined many wit nesses in an effort to disclose the per petrators of this crime, but none of these witnesses could identify any of the parties.
 We find, from investigation. that the officers of the law, and the citi- zens of our town and county, knew nothing of this crime until they heard of the body being found near Frey's Gin in this county. The city of Marietta and the county of Cobb were quiet before this trouble, are quiet now, and all reports to the contrary are untrue"
 Upwards of thirty-five witnesses were exaimned Wednesday and yester- day. They included the chief of po- lice and other citizens of Atlanta and persons in every walk of life in Ma rietta- Anonymous letters, referred to in the report, still are being re- ceived by officials of Cobb county and others, but the tendency now is to gnore them.
