GREAT WEALTH
FOR GEORGIA IN
ROADS SYSTEM

ATLANTA, May 30.-A state high
way system in Georgia would save the
people in twenty years more than
twelve billion dollars, which is half
the cost of Americas participation
in the war, according to carefully COM
piled figures presented to the county
commissioners of Georgia in annual
convention here.
A state highway system in five years
would pay four times the cost of the
automobiles now owned in Georgia;
would save two million dollars
worth of farm products which now go
to waste because they cannot be haul
ed to market; would eliminate a mud
tax of $272, 100000 in ten years; would
add one million people to the states
population in the next two decades.
Not only county commissioners but
members of the legislature attending
the convention are strongly in favor of
OF a state highway system. Many
commissioners and lawmakers in at
tendance are favorable othe highway
bill Of Senator Walter P. Andrews,
of Atlanta, which measure has been
strongly endorsed by Judge T. E. Pat
terson, chairman of the state highway
commission. A number of lawmak-
ers have asked that their names be
added to the bill as joint authors. 1t
is the concensus of opinion that the
Andrews bill comes nearer toward Civ
ing the state highway system in the
shortest possible time than any meas
IRE hat has yet been drafted
The opinion is expressed on every
hand by the county commissioners
that the Legislature, which meets next
month, will make a serious political
misak if it fails to enact an ade-
quate highway program this summer.

Mass, wage advances of Is per cent
have been granted to operatives in
cotton goods mills. In Paterson and
Passaic, n. j.. new demands have been
made which will affect the production
of silk and wool dress fabrics.
In raw materials the advances in
the price of cotton and silk continue.
Cotton reached 31.75 cents a pound for
spot transactions On Tuesday. This is
an advance of more than 200 points
in a week.
Silk has reached a new high price
of 1900 yen in Yokohama. AS this
price is equal to about $6.75 per h.,
there is little doubt, that if maintained
the cost of finished silk will again
be advanced.
Wool prices have not followed the
example of those of cotton and silk,
the reasons assigned being that the
needs of the manufacturers are nearly
filled and that the bidding at the gov
eminent auction in Boston this week
is less spirited

THE CAST
FIRST EPISODE.

In order understand clearly the
first episode of THE Tigers Trail"
Pathe's great serial starring Ruth
Roland, it is necessary to recount a
series CT adventures which happened
some time before the serial proper
begins. Three adventures, Peter
Strong, Grim" Gordon and Colonel
Boyd had chartered a vessel and gone
to East India in search of treasure.
Before leaving their ship to go ashore
they drew up and signed an agree
men TO share equally any treasure
they found, and that, in case any of
them met death in their adventure his
share was to go to his heirs. Hav-
ing made this pact of Three" they
tore it into three pieces and each took
one. Strong and Gordon retained
their fragments of the pact but Col
onel Boyd, before embaTking for
shore, called Bill Boland, captain of
the ship, aside and gave him his
piece fthe pac with instructions to

of accident. After landing the three
adventures encountered a tribe of
natives, known as The Tiger Wor-
shippers" whose god was the Tiger.
They found no treasure, but succeed
ed in securing a Tiger Idol, which
the natives looked upon as the sym
Dol of their religion. A thrilling fight
ensued between the adventures and
the natives and only Grim" Gordon
reached the ship alive with the Tiger
Idol. He returned to America and
shortly discovered a wonderful prop
erty of the Tiger Idol When it came
near radium its eyes glowed with
living fire. This property of the Idol
made Gordon rich man, since with
the Idol he located tremendous de-

WEEKS REVIEW
in TEXTILE and
KINDRED TRADE

NEW YORK, May 30.-This is
what the Dry Goods Economist has
to say as to the condition in textile
and allied lines:
Probably the most interesting event
OF the week, so far as the retailer
Is concerned, is the recommendation
by President Wilson that the taxes
upon retail sales can hardly find
justification under the easier circum-
stance of peace, and can now happily
be got rid Of
This statement will undoubtedly
have the unqualified endorsement of
every dry goods and department store
head in the country
In every section activity among the
retail dry goods stores is pronounced
The recent gains in the volume of
sales have been we'll maintained and
the expectation is general that an
era of prosperity is at hand
In many of the leading industries
activity is greater than had been
anticipated. Pig iron, for example, is
IN heavy demand. In some quarters
this is taken to indicate greater pro-
duction of steel, thereby bringing this
industry back into the busy class
Back to Prc-War Conditions.
Building is reviving too. Greater
numbers of men are being employed
all the time. The call for commodities
and for labor is based upon a gen
eral belief that the costs thereof
as now established will not be re-
yucca in the near future.
That railroad operation is return
ing to the peacetime schedule is evil
denced by the restoration of some of
the trains that were withdrawn when
the Railroad administration took
charge some two years ago. Whether
this is due to the prospect of the
return of the roads to their owners at
the end of the year or not has not de-
yeloped.
A ruling of the War Trade Board
this week limits the importation of
German does to those actually needed
and which cannot be made by Amer
lean manufacturers. -
There has been substantial in
crease in the volume of our exports
of sole leather of late This has led
to heavy business being done in sole
feathers by concerns which have WITH
held their orders while hoping for q
reduction in prices.
1t was announced this week that all
restrictions on shoe manufacturing
and selling have been withdrawn
from and after June /. The first auc-
ton of government owned leather is
to be held in Philadelphia on June
l9.
Exports during April totaled $715,-
100000 according to a report just is
sued by the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce. This is 1872 000,-
900 more than the best previous rec,
ord.
Crop conditions, too, are reported
as more favorable, due to warmer
weather and to the volume of rainfall
during the last few days.

OLD THINGS UNDER THE SUN
Democracy in Ancient Jewish Days and
the League of Nations,
Are Two.

The democratic idea is of great antiq-
uity, the Christian Herald reminds its
readers. Under the prophets and
judges, Israel was democracy. 1t was
not until they were fascinated by the
barbaric splendor and unrestrained IL
cense of the heather nations around
them that they began to be dissatisfied
with their own simple ways and to long
for king and a snowy court. 1t was
the lure of sin and worldly vanity.
Samuel warned them against courts
and kings and told them of what would
happen, but his warnings went unheed-
ed. The vision of the age of peace
began as early as eight centuries B. c.,
but it was not until the Christian era
that the world change in the existins
order fully daWned upon the minds Of
men. The idea of a league of nations
is not new. Such league was fore
Swallowed by Jean Bloch, in his re-
markable book, 1.-THE Future of War"
issued 20 years ago. 1t was also fore
seen by Emanuel Kant, who, in his es-
say on Perpetual Peace" wrote that
the law of nations must be based on
the federation of free states. At diff
ferent times leaders in national and
international reform have had visions
of such a league, but always az a pos
sibility of the remote future. 1t has
remained for the United States to
promulgate it at a time when the
world seems prepared to listen.

Wpina Out Predatory Animals.

During 1918 hunters of the United
States department of agriculture killed
SO gray wolves in New Mexico, "a
mountain lions, Is notwithstanding
bears, 1850 coyotes, and $50 bobcats,
we are told. These animals were
killed at a total expense of S24,S6O,
and the saving effected by their de-
struction, ON the basis commonly ac-
cepted by stockmen, amounts to $215,-
$50 annually. Hunting during the
spring period destroys many young,
and thus prevents increase. Many
coyotes not accounted for in the fig
ures given were destroyed by poison.
The killing Of these animals marks a
long stride in determination Of gray
wolves and other predatory animals,
and the saving is cumulative for years
to come.

PROPER AMERICAN is SIMS
Many Reasons Why Rear Admiral
Has Obtained and Retains Gen.
eral Popular Regard.

Rear Admiral Sims came quietly
into town the other day. made a
speech or two, and when he left he
had Washington hanging to his very
abbreviated jacket tail. Folks here
certainly did like the admiral. A
popular idol that obtains the plaudits
of Washington is pretty good.
These are some of the things the
people liked about the admiral: He
said very positively that he will not
write a book on the war: he referred
to the navy's part in the war as its
stunt; he boosted General Pershing
to the skies, indicating that the ad-
miral is without a Jealous streak; he
referred jocularly to himself as "the
only rear admiral in captivity" and
said he was glad to exhibit himself If
the folks wanted to see him; and,
best of all, he took time to talk with
every one who could squeeze a word
into his ears.
Down at the Union station, when the
admiral was boarding his private car,
a gray-haired woman rushed up and
shook his hand warmly.
"This is the proudest day of my life,
admiral" she said. II now have
shaken hands twice with you"
"All right. my dear lady," the ad-
miral replied, raising his cap. I'm
glad If meeting me pleases you. Come
around again the next time I'm in
town and Wen shake a third time"
If any further proof that the ad-
miral is human were needed, it might
be stated that he plays rafting
game of misunderstanding Star.

In three weeks they had every en-

$1,000 and growing every payday.
