STEEL. DECISION COMMENT

It is quite natural that Charles NJ. Schwab should stamp the refusal of the United States Supreme court to dissolve the Steel Corporation as "one of the wisest decisions in the history Of economic adva anceplent." It is also natural that his keen mind should seize upon the principle underlying the ma iority's finding and that he should go to the basic intent of or @aniza tion, saving that ''it was not organized with any monopolistic or controlling tendencies hut for the purpose of. effecting economy in costs and distribution.
 The fact that tho failure of Jus tices Brandeis and McReynolds to participate in the decision probably altered the result is being commented upon freely. and does not tend to in crease the general satisfaction with the important decision.
 The justices named are reported to had assumed judicial duties at variance to the recent majority opinion. Thus should another case arise, exactly 'on all fours'' with the one just decided. and should these justices participate in the determina- ton. the court would either have to reverse itself or Justices McReynolds and BrandeiS would be compelled to abandon the opinions they are sup posed to hold in their adherence to legal precedent.

FEMININE DIPLOMATS.

A London dispatch says that Sir Auckland Geddes "smilinGly ac- auicsced'' in the suggestion tha, Lady -Astor succeed nim as Englands Am- bassador to the United States when he is through in Washington.

 The diplomat is supposed 10 rep resent the last word in ability to hIdc emotion.

The deep machinations of his heart are supposed always 10 be hidden by g mask so inscrutahle that none may discover his designs al ways shrouded in mystery. Women as a class, are acknowledged 10 be the superior of men in their ability to act. in this respect they would make ideal diplomats. On the other hand diplomats are supposed to pos ssss many of the qualitica lions of good poker players. Women--well women do not.
 The train Of thought is almost iu- eHha ustible. Certainly woman would be mans peer in many of the su- perticiaI qualifications Of the siccess- full diplomat: his superior in others. IL is possible that after long train ing in the habit of thought required. she might assume the same relative position in regard to fundamentals. ,

BARNES TIME LAW NOW
DEAD IN GEORGIA

ATLANTA, GA, July PA bill
repeating the famous Barnes time law
has been passed unanimously by the
House of Representatives. The OBJ
ject of the Barnes time law was to
establish eastern time as the single
standard of time throughout the State
of Georgia. The federal authorities
had previously established eastern
time for the eastern part of the State
and central time for the western part
of the state, and the Barnes time law
could not be enforced in contravention
OF the time regulations fixed in WASH
ington.
Representative Barnes took hui
morous view of the situation when
his repeating bill came up for action
in the house. He explained that his
object had been worthy one, but in
stead of ending the confusion caused
by two time standards, his law had
created additional confusion and there
fore he thought it should be repealed.

SIXTY-EIGHT WAREHOUSES;
ARE BONDED IN GEORGIA

ATLANTA, GA, July 24.--Officials
of the American Cotton Association,
both at the state and national head
quarters in Atlanta, today reported
many additions to its membership roll
during the week. The membership
work is being pushed in every county
in thes tate, as we'll as in other sec
tons of the South.
The association, it is pointed out,
has taken the lead in analysizing and
reforming the deplorable cotton con-
ditions in the South. In Georgia
alone, it has caused sixty-eight
warehouses to be bonded and has en-
couraged the establishment of cotton
courses in the Southern schools and
numerous other profitable reforms.
The present membership of the as
ISOLATION is composed of farmers, gin
ners, bankers, merchants and business
men and is growing very rapidly. The
organizers are devoting much of their
attention toward the enrolment of
charter members.

ATLANTA'S STREET CARS
NOW RUNNING FASTER

ATLANTA, GA, July 24-Atlanta
folk have noted with keen satisfaction
a marked Improvement in their street
car service. The reason does not lie
in the fact that the street railway has
discovered some new and hitherto
unheard of plan of operating its cars.
No, it is pursuing the same general
plan of operation, and with the same
zeal apparently it has always had to
maintain ample and satisfactory
schedules. The magic wand that has,
apparently, touched the car service, is
the enactment of the recent parking
ordinance.
In recent years some of the down
town streets have been so congested
with automobiles, trucks, and other
vehicles, at the time the majority OF
the people wanted to ride, that it
often required from twenty to thirty
minutes to get street car three or
four blocks through a tangled maze
of congestion that the traffic police
were powerless to "unscramble." AS
result, all street car schedules were
disrupted, and all efforts of the car
company and its employees could not
prevent the exasperating delays.
Now that the clog in the wheel has
been removed, everybody in Atlanta
that rides street car is pleased with
the schedules that are being maintain
ed, and the car company, according
to one of its officials, is dee-lighted.
