BEST CLAY FOR sRIckMAkINe
Shores Of the Hudson River In
New York

Magnificent and inspiring as the
scenery is along the towering banks
OF the lordly Hudson. It isn't any
as the lowly bricks which are made
along the shores OF that favored
stream. In the ten years past some
IL 800, 100, 900 bricks, valued at $780,
407 ,25S, have been fashioned out OF the
clay close to the waters edge. the
New York World states. These bricks
II laid nat would make a sidewalk
that would reach around the world.
And It il estimated that there Is still
enough clay left on the banks Of the
Hudson to make zoo. 900 .00e bricks
a year for the NEXT so years.
The stratum OF clay extends along
both sides of the Hudson from New
York to Cohoes, above Troy. and takes
in ten counties. one of them in Now
Jersey. It is the greatest brickmsk-
ing district in all the world. For q
century the industry has thriyed. and.
strangely enough, the method OF man
ufacture has changed hardly any in
the lapse of these years.
II was in 1917 when the industry be-
gan to thrive James Woods. an Eng
lishman. had learned the trade OF
brickmaking In his native land and
was attracted to HaverBtrsw. up the
west bank OF the river q few miles
from New York. The vast quantities
OF fine brick clay there and the album
dance OF wood for fuel appealed to
him, and he started the FIRST success

RAILROADS HELPING SHIPPERS
TO IMPROVE FREIGHT SERVICE

Efforts to improve general condi-
tions in the handling of freight
shipments by giving the shippers
the advantages of valuable inform
aticn. which will enable them to
properly make out bills of Iading
and expense receipts and keep other
pointers before them for ready re-
ference, are being made by the Rail-
reads and representatives of the
Southern Weighing and Inspection
Bureau
We believe that any plan, which
has for it's object a reduction in the
number of tracers, claims, delays
overcharges and other annoyances
incident to the handling of freight
and express, will appeal to you. This
much desired result depends largely
upon complete and legible bills of
lading and express receipts being
furnished: therefore, we respectful
ly offer the following suggestions:
/. In making the bills of fading
and express receipts, carbon paper
should be changed frequently to in
sure plain and legible copies.
The Marietta journal and courier. (Marietta, Ga.) 1909-1918, 1916-10-13

2. Bills of lading and express re-
ceipts should show correct date of
delivery of freight to carrier. 1t is
unlawful to incorrectly date these
documents.
3. WRITE PLAINLY. Especial
ly should consignee's name and des-
tination be clearly written. If i'm
properly written on waybills (Which
is made from your shipping order)
it may result in freight not reach
ing correct destination, or in notice
of arrival being sent to the wrong
party; thus probably delaying the
delivery of the freight and causing
dissatisfaction to your customers.
The Typewriter is now being used
by many shippers and is strongly
recommended.
4. Bills of lading with list of
articles on them are undesirable,
because original may show one ar
ticle and the carbon another. Also,
some articles are liable to be over
looked in checking or billing, ac-
count of being widely separated on
bills of lading.
5. The articles should be clearly
stated in full instead of being alb
breviated. The use of authorizations

diately above signature and the full
name of shipper and shipping clerk
shown
8. Bills of lading and express re-
ceipts for meat and meat products
destined to or passing through states,
other than Florida, must bear certi-
fcate required by pure food laws.
10. Where classification provides
for different rates based upon GER
tain valuation, bills of lading and
express receipts must bear proper
signed certificate declaring such
value, otherwise the highest rate
will be charged.
II. The shipping order should in
variably be the original or written
copy of bill of lading and should
not be made by a carbon process.
u. Shippers throughout the coun-.
try, realizing the advantages to be
obtained, are cooperating with the
carriers in this matter. We feel
confident that the shippers in this.
city also see the benefits to be de-
rived and will give us their usual
hearty support. Shipping clerks are
urged to call upon us for any in.
formation they may desire.

not in general use are prohibited.
For example: A barrel of earthen-
ware or enamelware should not be
billed as a Barrel of E. Ware Ship
pers should impress this upon their
shipping clerks.
6. The use of trade names in
describing any commodity is i'm
proper For example: Five cases of
condensed milk should not be billed
as . cases Golden Quarts. One case
of oatmeal should not be describ-
ed as One case Mothers, or Mother 5
Oats One case buckwheat flour
should not be described as One case
Aunt Jemima One sack Obelisk
flour should not be described as
One sack Obelisk.' One sack ferti-
lizer should not be described as One
sack special
Z. Nature of packages affecting
classification should be shown; viz:
in glass, nested, knocked down, craft
ed, burlapped, strapped, corded and

shipments, the required certificate
must be STAMPED or written imme-

cases which have been brou hit b.
fore the association. Not long
since death occurred in a family III
town. One of the relief committee
went to see what was needed. She
found that there were several
grown people making very coed
wages in the family These people
had enough to eat and needed no
clothes; what they needed was
enough money to cover burial ex-
penses. She decided that they
would make ain effort to meet these
expenses, and that after they had
met them they would need help
from the association and we could
then step in and relieve the situa-
ton, so this report was handed in
and no assistance given at that
time. But by going around the
square and to the people for whom
he worked the head of the family
collected about fifty-five dollars!
We contend that this practice
makes beggars of people. Natural
ly this family will feel when sucn
troubles come to them that all they
have to do is go around with their
story and the money will be forth
coming. And yet the people COM
plain while they continue to en-
courage such things.
We are always paying out money
to relieve suffering. That is our
business, but there are two ways to
help people alOng-one is to show
them how to become burden on
the town and the other how to be-
come Independent. Our aim is to
help them over the rough places
We are going to try once more to
get the money to keep our work go
ing. OF course if the association is
not wanted the surest way to kill it
is to refuse to contribute any amount
whatsoever From the complaints
of the merchants and others it
would seem that they would be glad
to get rid of these people who come
sometimes three a day asking for
help. All that would be necessary
would be to say to such people:
I'VE have an organization here
which looks out for such work.
contribute regularly to this asso-
citation and if you will go to them
they will attend to- your needs. !"
Send them to Mrs. M. r. Lyons, or
Mrs. Tom Florence and you needn't
be at all afraid they won't go, if
they really are in need. If they are
trying to do" you, you are rid of
them. Very seldom will they risk
going to an association which in
vestigates.
We urge that you think this over
and see what you can do about it..
1t is certainly a very serious out
look for the only association of this
kind Marietta has ever had. And
now is the time for everyone in Ma
rietta who can to come to the front
and do his share. When you are
approached on the subject see if you
cannot possibly help the work "a
long a little.

of offerings is that of Langdon Nc
Cormick's drama of timberland," called

The heroine. flying from the telephone
station, falls in exhaustion, and the
hero comes on the scene in a full-size
locomotive and saves her. Thousands
of electric lights are used, and the
producer is entitled to praise for an
effective presentation and close atten-
ton to details. Frederick Bowers, the
popular singing star, scored a big hit
with scenic revue illustrating the
he was ten years ago, when he starred
in musical comedy, which is saying Il
great deal. His company also is above
the average in singing and dancing
ability, and his number ran close Sec
ond to the big scenic production.
Little Ruth Roye, who was seen here
for the first time last season, was
given splendid welcome last night.
The little lady has an original way of
singing humorous songs, and many en-
cores were demanded and given. James
and Bonnie Thornton, 1.-The youngest
of the old-timers," also scored a hit,
the monologist creating continuous
laughter throughout. Bradley and Nor
ris presented a pretty dancing and
singing turn; Gates brothers danced
unusually well; Joseph Bernard and

acting. and Bert Savoy and Jay Bren-
nan were laughing hit, also the Pathe
