HALF MILLION .
AMERICANS NOW
TOURING EUROPE
members of A, E, F, With
War 0veh Are Visiting
Every Famed Spot at No
Cost to Them
BY EDWARD nj. rHrnHRY

ParlS.-Iake census OF almost
any town in the United States and
you'll.find a, good many homes where
they're treasuring picture post cards
and souvenirs from famous pleasure
resorts of France.
That's the result Of Uncle Sam
opening a tourists agency for his
soldiers over here.
1t explains partly what the A. E.
F. is doing without a war on its
hands.
According to army regulations, SOL
diers were supposed to get seven
days 1eave-vacation-e four
months. While the war was on a
good many thousand were out OF
luck. Now they're doing the touring
job in a way that American tourists
never did France.
Just to show how few got leaves
last year, I went into the Y. NJ
c.. A. records, and found there had
been only 74,278 leaves up to De-
cember l.
Leave for Half Million
In the next, three months $4,000
March. And by the end of April
the number will probably hit the
half-million mark.
The average doughboy is happy
and all ready for hone-after he
has seen either Paris or the Riviera.
Paris was only placed on the leave
list a couple OF months ago. Now
it has more American tourists
doughboy toHrists-than ever in its
history.
Uncle Sam pays all expenses Of
these vacation trips.
The Riviera leave area can take
care of more men at one time than
an other. 1t includes Nice, Monte
Carlo, Cannes and Menten. There is
capacity for 10000. Something like
10000 men have already had vaca-
tions there. They find plenty to do,
permitted even one, small, tiny whirl
on the famous tables at Monte
Carlo.
Mountains Are Popular
especially in the Pyrenees leave area.
More than 5000 men are taken care
of constantly at CauteretS, Faux
BONES and Bagneres de Luchon.
About the same number are always
enjoying themselves in the Savoie
area. This comprises AiX-leS Baines,
Chambery and Challes-les-E aux.
Breathing spells from the job of
guarding the Rhine are given men
in the army of occupation. Twelve
thousand are usually on vacations all
the time. They get to Coblenz, Neu-
led; Andernach, Treves and Naue-
nahr. The big thing in this area is
the opportunity Of taking a boat ride
on the Rhine.
Thousands more get to the sea-
shore at the famous Biarritz, in the
south of France, and at st. Malo
and Dinard in Brittany along the
north shore. Even Alpine climbing
is provided-at Chamonix and st.

Some Georgia Counties
Disregarding Law on
Reports of Diseases

Splendid cooperation is being re-
ceived from some Georgia counties
by the state health department in it's
efforts to secure report of contagious
and infectious diseases, but other
counties are apparently paying no at
tention to the law requiring these
diseases to be reported
On the first of January the health
department established a bureau OF
epidemiology in charge of DR.. M
F. Haygood, and distributed notices
over the state that the law requiring
reports Of contagious and infectious
diseases now would be enforced
through this bureau.
Fulton county since January 1 has
reported 4,014 cases of infectious and
contagious diseases. Richmond coun-
ty has reported 1,570; Coffee. 1903;
Hart 1,O42; Whitfield, 270: Douglas
122; Bryan, 1903; Gwinnett, 1870: Floyd.
700: Sumter 531.
Chatham county has reported only
eight cases. One case each has been
reported from Gilmer. Lumpkin. Oco-
nee, Dooly, Schley, Marion. Charlton
and Cook.
:. No reports have been received from

YOUR AUTO A p G.
SOME THINGS ABOUT THE CAR
TOLD IN THE SIMPLEST WAY
BY OTTO KRANK
DOME Didn't Know

Detroit baseball fans gave DOME
Bush an automobile one day.
DOME had driven it for several
months when a friend asked him,
What, is it, DOME, a six or an
eighth"
"Darned if I know" said DOME.
II never looked inside to see"
There are a lot of auto drivers
in Donies class. who know no more
about the mechanism they control
at the speed of a railroad train than
DOME did.
They take a car from the dealer
in good condition, drive it till some
thing goes wrong and then get it
towed to a garage to be put right
again-and go around talking about
what a blamed expensive thing an
automobile is anyway.
If some of these birds would learn
how an engine runs, why it has to
be watered, what makes carbon, why
ball bearings won't go on forever
without grease, how under-infation
hurts a tire and few other practi-
cal things, their cars would last

Most of Europe-sometimes L think

Broods Over Money
Almost like an old Irish legend
is the we'll authenticated story of
a former platinum and steel king
from southern Russia. He sits by
the log fire in a mountain resort
near this city and meditates long
hours. Sometimes he talks freely
with those who ask him to break
his silence and philosophize.

Deputy Sheriff
Makes PiuS Drunk

When Jerry Lolic, of Portland,
Ore, returned from his work in
the shipyards a day or two ago
he found all his pigs on a rip
roaring drunk.
1t was all due to the deputy
sheriff, who went out to Lolic's
place with a warrant for his ar
rest on the charge of Illicit man
ufacture of wines. The deputy
found Lolic absent at his work
but located a vat of wine which
he poured into the pig trough
rather than carry it back to town
with him. The pigs liked it
about as we'll as humans, and
drank it up greedily, according to
the story told in court when Lo-
lie was tried, and it was not long
before they were ''soused" prop
erly.
According to ancient form they
were soon stupidity and hopeless
ly asleep in their wallows, and
when Mrs. Lolic saw them she
thought they were all dead. But
they were only dead drunk"
Lolic was fined $50.
