PROVIDE SAFETY
A|SLES ON main
White Lines to Protect path. for
Pedestrians and Safety Zones
at Street Car
Stops.
WILL BEGIN TOMORROW
White Paint Has Been Ordered and
the Work Will Start at Once
Follows Gate city's
Suggestion.
WILL BEGIN TOMORROW

Safety aisles for pedestrians are to
be marked at the principal corners on
Main street, by vote Of the city COM
missiCners, and the work of painting
the lines will begin tomorrow. The
work will be done by members OF the
fire department It is expected that
about five gallons OF white paint will
be required for the work. The paint
was ordered today.
The aisles are to be painted from
corner to corner at each intersection.
They will be eight feet wide, thus at
fording ample space for pedestrians,
no matter how large the crowds on
Main street may be. Under the ordi-
nance, no automobile or other vehicle
may pass safety aisle, while a pedes-
trian is standing within its limits.
Safety zones are also to be provided
at the car stops.
These zones will be the length of
street car, and will be eight feet
wide. No vehicle can pass within
this safety zone while passengers are
entering or leaving street car.
Suggested by Gate City.
These safety aisles and zones are
being established as a result Of a
suggestion made in The Gate City
about week ago. They are the lat
est means devised to more safely
handle traffic in cities. Many cities
from coast to coast have adopted, or
are about to adopt, this system.
The system of flags that has been
in use successfully the past year is to
be Improved. 1t has been complained
that the present flags are not visible
at night, and that when there is no
wind. it is hard to see the locations
OF the guides.
Find Suitable System.
After investigating the flags and
semaphores used in other cities, the
city commissioners have found sys-
tenn that can be adwopted here at lit
tie expense. The present bases and
standards will be used, but in place
| of the red flag will be four steel
signs, one extending in each direc-
| ton, each marked on both sides,
keep to the Right" These iron
policemen" will be installed between
Fourth and Fourteenth streets, SIX
more corners being provided for. than
are now protected with the flags.

A Friend Like. You.
1t surely makes a fellow glad
To have a friend like you
When one is feeling somewhat sad
And things are looking blue.
1t helps fellow to forget
His sorrow for while
To have a friend who one can bet
Will greet him with smile.
Those times when hope seems all but
gone,
And friends are much in need,
A loyal friend to call upon
Is sure friend indeed.
And when one feels he's seldom had
A faithful friend and true,
1t surely makes fellow glad
To have friend like you.

CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION WILL
BE .SOUTH'S WINDOW SHOP"

Gulfport, Miss, Dec. 4-Some one
has said that the Mississippi Centen-
NAL Exposition, to open here on De-
cember 10,1917, will be the "South's
Shop Window"
This probably will be true, mas
much as many Southern states, or
many counties and municipalities in
them, have already begun making
preparations for more or less elabor-
ate participation, either by making
large exhibits or erecting buildings. I,
Among the counties taking the lead
in the movement for participation by
states without Mississippi is Mobile
country, in Alabama, while Louisiana
is already assembling materials to be
well represented by an exhibit which
will be very comprehensive.
Interest in the exposition is not be-
ing confined to the South, however as
is evidenced by the receipt of many
letters from Northern and Western
states and communities, as we'll as
foreign counties, making inquiries re-
garding the exposition, and plans for
the big event.

MILLS.

Passaic, N. j., Dec. 4-(By Union
Associated Press)-More than fifteen
thousand employees in six textile
mills were made happy today by hav-
ing their wages increased ten per
cent. This means a total increase of
payrolls of about $4,000 a week, or
$1,144,000 a year. The concerns grant
ing the increase are the Botany Wor-
sted Mills, Forstmann & Huffman
Co., Passaic Worsted Spinning Co.,
Garfield Worsted Mills and Gera
Mills. ..,.
julius Forstmann, president of the
Forstmann & Huffman Co., whose
plants here and in Garfield are among
the largest in this section, says the in
e is entirely voluntary on the
part of the mill owners, who are de-
sirous of aiding their operatives in
combating the unchecked advance in
cost Of all necessities. The increase
makes a total of 80 to .35 per cent. in
in wages granted the men and
women in these mills in the past year.

"NEITHER DO l CONDEMN THEE"

Never since Mother Eve is reported to have
developed a taste for apples has there been any
scarcity of weak women. And we might also
add that never since that unfortunate period in
human history has there been any scarcity of self
righteous men.
Now the thought has always some how haunt
ed our brain that humanity has never quite gotten
the straight of that episode. From our intimate
knowledge of masculine human nature in general
we are convinced that Father Adam was perfectly
capable Of the ungentlemanly action attributed
to him. But from that knowledge we also be-
lieve he was capable of still greater i~niquity-even
that of causing the woman to bear not only her
own sin, but his sin as well.
Now if Adam had been just the right sort of
man how different his action would have been.
We can imagine him, had he had the proper re-
gard for the woman whom his Maker had given
him, when he discovered the dire consequences of
their action, saying to his Lord, II ate the fruit,
and also did cause the woman to eat"
But did he do this? Not on your life. That
was his golden opportunity but he let it pass. He
did just as his sons have been doing ever since
that fatal day-shifted the sin to the shoulders
of the woman.
6ALN V1AAo DAlliSo uo SulA w Jul toIOAiOA1
that Adam must have been capable of even great
err iniquity than was attributed to him-even that
of instigating the disobedience and then lying out
OF it. We have nothing to back up our belief but
the inherent treachery of the male creature in his
dealings with the weaker sex.
But now from out the world-old tragedy of the
sexes shines a star of particular brightness. An
unfaithful wife is the cause of a murder and a
suicide. The betrayed husband, against his will,
is finally convinced of her guilt, and the world
eagerly awaits some drastic action in retaliation.
But the world is woefully disappointed. What is
it he says? "She is my wife, and l will stand by
her as long as life lasts"
And the world is staggered. 1t had expected
something sensational and it had gotten it with a
vengeance.
And down through the centuries, from far
off Palestine, we seem to catch the echo of a voice
of wonderful compassion, and family there comes
to our ears the words: Neither do I condemn
thee; 60, and sin no more"
