Atlanta Cops Working
To Stop Accidents

ATLANTA. Aug. Zz-The increas-
ing number of automobile accidents
which have been the subjec of inves-
tigation in Atlanta. must necessarily
lead to the belief, as pointed out by
the city officials here, that those who
drive cars often are entirely too reck-
less. take chances they should not
take and ignore dangers that they
should be carefully guarded against.
"A mania to go last, reckless dis
regard of precautions, sometimes the
contrabond bottle, these are the chief
causes probably of the fatal auto &C
cidents. and the number of accidents
appear to be increasing rather than
diminishing in Atlanta and other of
the SOUTHERN cities" said traffic Off
GERS here who are now as perhaps
never before enforcing the traffic laws
and regulations to the letter.
The Atlanta police court has dock
eted more cases during the last few
days than has ever been known in
the history of the city. Police Off
GERS have been told to enforce the
traffic laws with all the rigidity o!
which they are capable and they say
they will get multitude of auto
owners before they get through.

A BETTER DAY COMMUNICATION 7. Dovle

A BETTER DAY COMING-Editor J. Doyle
Jones, of the Jackson Progress-Argus, strikes the
keynote in his subjoined paragraph:
"Georgias resources and advantages are too
great for the old state to stay in the dumps long
at the time. A better day is coming The peo-
pie working hard and economizing and that
is the thing that counts" To the opinion of the
Jackson paper Editor Thomas w. Loycss of the
Columbus Enquirer Sun, adds
Hard work and economy, if persisted in long
enough will finally make a fellow winner. And
he has not much chance to win any other way"
The Fitzgerald Leader joins in the chorus as
follows:
with tobacco shining golden in the fields and
stalks OF corn tossing their silky tassels at
patches of cotton whose heavy bolls are lust
beginning to crack into rich, white smiles, who
III South Georgia have the blues or look into
the future with other than happy conhdence?"

g1a comes the welcome report that the prospects

tanabe sees to indicate that Georgia is not suf-
ferng with famine and pellagra" - Atlanta

A NEGRO'S INSPIRING MESSAGE

A NEGRO'S INSPIRING MESSAGE - From
the Moultrie Observor-When the daughter of
Ferry DAVIS Macon county negro, recently
married, this is the message she carried to her
husband from her father:
In my home you have grown up from child
hood to womanhood and now that YOU are going
out to help make home for yourself | want TO
remind you OF something you ran repeat to your
husband that may be of value to you both.
Never, in my home, have you eaten biscuits
made from bought -four grown in another mans
held' he meat you have eaten has always been
raised at home and your syrup has been made
from cane grown in my patch. Always, since
you were born, home supplied you milk
and butter and home poultry furnished YOU eggs
and chickens. owe no cent and while
comparatively poor man, have few thousand
dollars in the bank. You and your husband will
be independent if your first rule is to make YOUR
farm feed YOU"
We are indebted to The Macon telegram for
the above. 1t could be duplicated a Thousand
times IN south Georgia, but it is an interesting
item that cannot be printed or told too often We
have lost great deal in this section by buying
things we could have produced We are still
dong 1t. The fellow who is producing the great
est variety of stuff at home and buying the least
abroad is the fellow who stood these tight times
the best He doesn't shine particularly in those
years when big farmers make big crops and sell
at big prices, but taken one year after another
the fellow who makes his crops at smallest fin
anciai cost and buys the least away from home
is IN the easiest circumstances Very often. like
the negro named above, he has money in the
bank instead of mortgage on the farm.

GAS TO
STAY AS AGENT
MIXTURE WARS
American Officials and Experts
Certain Powers Will Con-
tinue Its Use.

The place OF poison gas as n
weapon OF war is permanent, 1t was
said today by American officials and
experts.
Despite any ban which may be
placed on gas, there Is nothing
which will absolutely prevent a re-
currence of its use in war. military
experts declared. To rely on such Il
ban as a protection would be to In
Vte tragedy such as the second
battle of Tyres, when the Canadian
and French troops in the line were
deluged In gas for the first time In
war. Regardless of any ban on the
use of gas, one high official OF the
conference pointed out, troops will
never In future be safe from disaster
without the newest type Of gas mask
In taking this stand, American
representatives openly express ever!
desire to see gas restricted, and II
possible eliminated. but they hold that
this latter Is a practical impossibtlity.
Accordingly, what American repre-
sentatives desire is to see the use ~
gas in war hedged about so as TO
protect every noncombatant and
town, but to leave armies free 10
use 1t as a legitimate weapon. Aside
from civilian opinion. military experts
as an abstract proposition regart
gas as far more humane than shell.
fire.
The general attitude of the Amer.
lean officials Is backed by Great
Britain, and, it is understood, by the
French also.

Reported to Senate.

An extensive program for public
construction work to provide a perma-
mont remedy for cyclical periods of
Industrial depression and unemploy-
ment is provided for in the Kenyon
bill favorably reported to the Senate
yesterday by the Senate Committee on
Education and Labor.
The measure is designed to carry
out recommendations of President
Harding's conference on unemploy-
ment.
The committees action was unani-
nous. 1t was pointed out, however,
that the bill is not intended as a cure
for all industrial and labor ills, but
as an initial move toward alternating
tho frequent recurrence Of unemploy-
ment by counterbalancing the peake
and slumps in employment.
Kenyon said he would seek early
action on the bill when Congress re-
convenes ih January.

Store Real Pearls,
Wear limitations,
None the Wiser

Sale of a string of artificial pearls
fer $1,000 in Chicago recently em-
phasized the value and artistic per-
fection Of this comparatively new
form of gem.
"A string of artificial pearls will
sell for from s25 to $1,000" said
a jeweler. The latter price is as
much as a string of genuine pearls
will fetch IL they are imperfectly
matched or graduated. II genuine
pearls are perfectly matched and
graduated, the string will bring
from $4,000 to sl50,00O.
Artificial pearls are made from
nacre, which is a composition pro-
duced from the scales of a fish
taken in the Caspian Sea. They are
the. work of artificers of long ex-
perience and extreme skill. 1t is a
mistake to think these pearls are
worn only by women of moderate
circumstances. They have become
Jewels of the wealthy and fashion

valuable strings of real pearls have
artificial duplicates. They keep the
genuine gems locked in a vault,
while they wear the imitation ones

The truth is. the owner of both
strings, looking at herself in a
mirror, cannot tell the genuine
pearls from the ARTIFICIAL"
