GEORGIAN TELLS
In BOOK OF WAR
ON DESTROYER

One of the most interesting books
growing out of the great war is
100 per cent Georgia product, be-
ing written by Georgian, pritned
by Georgia concern and circulated
from Georgia The book is entitled
"70, 900 Miles on a Submarine De
stroyer," and was written by George
Magruder Battey, of Atlanta, news
paper man who left the staff of the
Georgia at the beginning of the war
and enlisted in the navy as a yeo-
man. He was assigned to the
destroyer Reid, and spent practically
all of his naval career on that craft,
chasing submarines, conveying trans
ports, blowing the wintry and tropl-
cal seas, spending furlough IN odd
and t-of-the-way places on the
earth, and occasionally getting fair
ly closeup views of the war on land
uring his naval experience Mr.
Battey carried his camera with him,
and brought back a wonderful col
lection of views of many sorts which
are used to illustrate the book. The
volume which containes 384 pages,
was prepared especially for the mem
bers of the crew of the Reid, but
is published by Webb & Vary, and
contains wealth of interesting in
formation for the casual reader. 1t
sell for $3.50 per COW.
Before going to war Mr.. Battey
got out little volume of humor put
ting curious brain twists of the war
into rhyme, calling the book Hum
ty Dumty Williams & Co., the said
Williams being the Kaiser, whom Mr..
Battey at that time viewed in a more
humorous light than later

STRIKING BOSTON
COPS LOSE JOB;
TWO MORESHOT

BOSTON, Sept. 13.-(By Asso-
ciated Press Police Commissioner
Curtis today announced that the posts
deserted by striking policemen were
vacant and that he woula proceed to
fill them.
A man and woman were shot at this
morning at the corner of Boyleston
and fremont streets during the at
tempt of state guards to make lott
erers move on. The man was killed
and the woman wounded. Soldiers
with fixed bayonets dispersed the
quickly gathering crowds.
In response to a telegram from
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, the
policemen's union voted last night in
favor of resuming their beats, pro-
vided the authorities would agree to
the suggestion that the matter of
their union affiliation be held in abey-
ance until after a conference on the
labor situation called by President
Wilson for October 6. The resolu-
tons, as adopted by the union also
called for the reinstatement of the
nineteen patrolmen who were sus-
pended for violation of the depart
ment rule forbidding membership in
outside organizations and whose sus-
pension was the immediate cause of
the walkout last Tuesday afternoon
A general strike in support of the
police was a possibility today. Sew
eral unions affiliated with the Central
Labor Union met last night to vote
on the question of going out, but in
most cases action was postponed to
await the outcome of the suggestion
of President Gompers. The telephone
operators put the question over until
next Tuesday.

erably to big heads during the war,
but that was because the Importance
of the news demanded it. The war
is over, but most of our contempora-
ries continue to use scare heads and
large type with wide spaces between
news items. If we spread the Star
out like some of them do we would
have to print eight pages every day
instead of four. The newspapers,
however, are not the only sinners in
this regard. The magazines are also
bad and worst of all are the people
government employees and others, that
send out tons of useless stuff by let

only MASTERS of papers. but most OF
them are MASTERS of time. which the

SUBSCRIPTION RATES
PAPER

Senator Jones of New Mexico has
introduced into Congress bill charg-
ing prohibitive rate for carrying
thru the mails papers of more than
tWenty-four pages. 1t is a good bill
and should pass, but probably will
not. Even if it did it would not be
any great check on the big-city dali
les, which sell probably 95 per cent
Of their circulation near enough their
Offices to dispense with the mails.
Something is going to have to be done,
however, or all the publications will
have to reduce. and many will have to
suspend. A twelve-page paper is
big enough to put all the news of the
world in and all the advertising that
is not local, even of big city. Dis
play advertising, which takes up so
much space. could be vastly cut down,
but the little want, lost and found,
ETC.. ads, which often take up pages
in big daily, are now in as small
type as they can be. But publishers
could quit printing anything but
news and the most necessary opinion,
have headlines set small, increase the
prices on advertising so much that no
advertiser would pay for white paper,
and do everything to prevent running
unused space thru their presses. The
practice of trying to run advertise
ments next to reading should stop. A
good advertisement will be read on it's
own merits. Advertisements should
be classified and such reading matter
as is easy to run next to them should
be given, but no more. We think il
is mistake to use very small type
A small type loaded is easier to read
than larger type set solid. The Star
uses a BREWER face on bourgeoise
body, but bourgeoise is difficult to jus.
tify, being nine-point. A minion face
on BREWER body-making an eight
point slug-is better, and that is small
enough for the biggest newspapers
Another big waste is In the heads
Publishers put screaming big heac
across a page, to catch the eye. Fifty
years ago. when all heads were small
the people found the news just a:
quickly in a paper as they do today
One of the great sins of makeup
these days is to try to put the lead Of
every big story on the first page under
flaring head. and then continue it tt
back page, where it is generally Cut
in with small caption under an adj
vertisement. 1t would pay far better
to run each story in one piece under 6
small head. and without giving any
special prominence to the first page
for if that was the rule the entirt
paper would be read. The Star car
justly claim it has not wasted much
white paper. The writer has controll
ed its makeup since it started, and h
has always tried to pack it's page:
solid, thinking it better to have some
reading matter that must be left on
of each issue than to print bigger
paper in order to put in some matte
of minor Importance. We ran consid

Men Who Respect Their Word.

Men OF the right type have respect
for their word. They treat a verbal
promise as binding. Contracts to them
are sacred things not to be broken
so long as 1t is possible to keep them.
They do not treat their notes with
greater respect than they do their
purposes in life. To them every step
is taken with a view to realizing an
ideal. Consequently they do not enter
agreements rashly nor make promises
promiscuously. Life Is a real some
thing that brings joy only as it con-
tributes to the general good. This may
seem a little too straIght-laced when
you first read II but you win see the
truth In 1t as you ponder It's mean
