OLaIL COTTGSpOuuenI.
COLUMBUS. Ohio, Aug. 16-Gov
ernor James M. Cox's dashing stump
campaign has met it's first obstacle
an irate country town constable, who
insists that even a presidential can.
didate must not show too much speed
on state highways in his effort to
win an election.
The constable, Jos Shipley, sent
two motorcycle cops after the Cox
party of four motor cars, as it passed
through Jacksontown yesterday af
ternoon on the return trip from
Wheeling, West Virginia e
Tne COPS sought to bring TIE gov.
ernor back to Jacksontown and for.
ma1ly place him and dozen news
paper men under arrest for speeding.
Cox informed the officers they could
find him at the state house
The next move is now up to the
constable, and word this morning from
Newark, county seat of Licking coun-
ty, was that a blanket warrant would
be issued for the nominee and all the
correspondents and that efforts would
be made to take the party to Newark
to answer the speeding charges.
Some of Cox's friends, however, are
claiming that the attempted arrest
was political plant on the part of
some local republicans, and should
an attempt be made to serve the war
rant, it is probable that an inyestiga-
tion would be made by state officials
Adjutant General Layton, of the
state national guard, who was riding
with Cox, said that he was tipped
Saturday that an attempt would be
made to .'get the governor" for
speeding.
Constable Shipley denies that it was
a political frame-up.

The Pluck of Caruso
THE breaking of a tiny blood vessel In
mans throat is little thing in itself

THE breaking of tiny blood vessel In
mans throat is a little thing in itself
in general, physicians say, mere in
disposition that causes nothing worse than
nose bleed. But when it happens to Enrico
Caruso the whole world notes it with deep
concern.
No surer proof of the tremendous popu-
lar1ty~ of the Metropolitan's golden tenor
could be cited than the anxiety with which
the public read of his recent misfortune
There is none. whose hold is stronger on peo-
pie than is his Everyone rejoices that the
m1shap was not even serious enough to pre-
vent his appearance in opera a few nights
after it occurred.
Caruso's popularity is not due to his voice
alone, though the magic of that voice-like
no other ever heard from human throat--is
the principal reason for the high esteem
amounting at times to alteration, with
which the music lovers of two continents re-
gard him.
Caruso, the man, has like prestige with
Caruso the singer. His gay car'eraderie, his
readiness to help in any good cause, his keen
zest in all that is going forward-these at
tributes have won him liking wherever he
has gone. Most of all, he has endeared him
self to his public because, fal from being
| -emperamental he has the reputation for al
ways doing his best
Atlanta knows this as we'll as any city
There has never Teen an occasion, among all
the score of times when lie has sung here
that he did not, to use ine1egant but ex-
pressive term, "give them all he had" Even
when the wall Of the blood vessel broke. he
kept singing until the act was over and vol
unteered if his audience wished it, to finish
the opera. That was typical of Caruso. And
the mighty roar of refusal from the audience
to permit him to continue, is typical Of Co
ruso's place in the hearts Of the American
people

The Inventor of the Th;mb1e
T-s HE inventor of most great blessings to
mankind are men whose names have

T~ HE inventor of most great blessings to
mankind are men whose names have
lived in memory, whose fame has
gone down to pOsterity along with the prod
ucts of their brains. There is, however, one
simple little household article veritable
godsend in it's small way, whose creator
would seem to deserve more glory than has
actually been his lot.
We speak of the thimble. A small thing,
the thimble, yet what boon it has been to
the women OF the world! Who can say how
many rosy fingers it has saved from mutt
lation, how many pretty eyes from tears,
how many soft hearts from suffering? 1t
has been dear companion alike to the gen.
tlewomans with her leisurely embroidery
and to her less fortunate sisters who must
patch and darn the day long, to say moth
ing of the seamstresses whose very bread
and butter would have been doubly hard of
earning had it not been for the little alumni
mum cup. In fact, the thimble might lay
just claim to the title of the greatest pro-
tector of the fair sex history has ever known.
One might suppose that the thimble has
always been there-ready whenever the
needlewoman took up her task. Yet only
two hundred years ago it was unknown
before that, sewing was surely one of the
most troublous of the crafts. The man who
gave the thimble to humanity was one John
Lofting, of London, England, metal worker
| by trade. teo
| Whether LOft1ng Was some unfortunate
bachelor doomed to replace his own buttons
or whether he was the spouse of some indus
trious housewife whose labors he yearned to
| tighten, history does not inform us. At any
rate, it was he who conceived the idea of
a metal cap to be placed the thumb, so as
to aid the sewer in pushing the needle
through the cloth. He called it the thumb
bell" Time saw the thumb bell slip from the
thumb to the finger and the name softened
to the thimble of today. But time should
never obliterate the name Of John Lofting,
the benefactor of millions of women.

Heb Save These Children

THE people of Georgia have been asked
to do their part, in common with all
Americans, in raising fund to save
from starvation three and one-half million
babies and children of Poland and other
stricken countries in Central Europe.
The appeal is one that cannot be disre-
garded. To begin with, it comes from
sources of unquestionable authority. We are
told by the Ked Cross, by the Jewish Joint
distribution Committee and by every other
organization with representatives at the
leart of suffering, that the need is impera-
i've There was fund to meet the need. By
January 1t will be exhausted. No food can
D had from the soil itself until the next
arvest. Outside aid must be rendered or
he children will be doomed.
To ask why America must come to the res
rue is to beg the question. They have cried
20 us for help because they believed in US.
And no American who for one moment con-
Biders the little lives at stake, will turn a
deaf ear to their call.
Georgians, leas. of all, will refuse to an
swer. The nation is organized for the cam
pafgn of giving, under the leadership of Her
bert Hoover. The State chairman is E. Mar
vim Underwood, distinguished Atlanta at
torney and former general counsel for the
federal railroad administration With him
are associated on the executive committee
a number of Georgias most public spirited
men and women, representing such organi-
cations as the Red Cross, the Young Men s
Christian Association, the Young Women's
Christian Association, the Jewish Joint Dis
trfbution Committee. the Knights Of Column
bus and the Council of the Churches of
Christ in America.
The committee lays before the State sit
uation so simple in it's essentials, SO heart
touching in its plain facts. that prompt sub
scrfptions will surely follow by the thou
sands. Children are suffering. Many OF
them are babes in arms. Others, but little
older, have felt the "unger pinch so sharply
that their faces are lined and gaunt like
those of prisoners tortured l. the inquisi-
tion, We can prevent them from further suf-
fering and save them from d. ing, if every
one will give Were these little folk. with
their rags and skeleton figures and haggard
eyes, to stumble through the streets of our
own. cities, every hand would be lifted to
help them and every pocketbook would be
emptied before they would be suffered to
perish. That they happen to be a few
thousand miles away does not mitigate the
tragedy. We must give, and give before it
is too late.

The South and the Tariff

g ITAL in it's bearing on the welfare OF
" the south and enlisting the interest
Of every class of business and trade;
is the Southern Tariff Congress- which has
been called to meet in Atlanta January ~,
20 and 20.
Ali organized industries, chambers of
commerce, farm organizations, governors,
commissioners of agriculture, womens clubs
and political bodies have been invited to send
twenty-five or more delegates to the con-
gress. general invitation to attend has
been, extended to members of the Southern
Tariff association and to all citizens who are
concerned in the progress and prosperity OF
the south. Thus it would appear that the
meeting will be representative of every in
terest and will assemble most distinguished
company of men and women.
The Congress, absolutely ncn-partisan in
character meets for the announced purpose
Of discussing tariff as it applies to south
ern production and Southern industries.
There is no doubt that the tariff will be
one Of the most important matters to oc-
cupy the attention OF the national congress,
and it is proper that the south receive con-
sfderation as her products deserve. TO rec
ommend to the United States Tariff Commits
sion and to congress schedule on southern
products that will equalize the cost of pro-
duction in this country with that of foreign
countries, and to distribute fairly the burdens
and benefits among all industries, all classes
and all sections, is the goal to which the
Southern Tariff Congress will bend its ut
most efforts.
sSThe movement that will reach a head in
Atlanta in January is probably the first
which appears to- have the unanimous ap-
proyal of all political, agricultural, indus
trial and commercial interests. 1t affords
an exceptional opportunity to the south to
present it's case to congress, insofar as the
tariff is concerned, with united front and
an unmistakable purpose.
